The Lion Guard: Appreciating Love

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's Ameba, Fuli?" Kion asked.

"She's fine, Grandma's been teaching her how to stalk" Fuli answered.

"Belee and Kia have learned that" Kion said.

"What about Nita?" Beshte asked.

Kion shook his head.

"She hasn't shown an interest" he answered.

"Why not?" Bunga asked.

"She told Mom that she's needed most at Rafiki's Tree" Kion explained.

"That does make sense" Fuli said.

"She won't let Nada teach her any fighting techniques either" Kion added.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back

"Any trouble?" Kion asked.

Ono shook his head.

"It's been pretty quiet as of late" Fuli said.

"Is that a good thing?" Beshte asked.

Kion nodded.

"Of course it is" he answered.

He and Fuli exchanged an affectionate glance.

"Let's all go home to our families" Kion said.

He bade goodbye to his friends, and headed back to Pride Rock.

When he reached Pride Rock, Kion found Kiara settled outside the den.

Kion bounded up to her.

"Hi Kiara" he said.

He stretched his neck, and nuzzled Kiara's cheek.

"Hi Kion" Kiara answered.

"Want to go to the Meadow?" Kion asked.

Kiara nodded.

"Sure" she said.

They began to walk to the Meadow.

When they reached The Meadow, they settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was your patrol?" Kiara asked.

"It was fine" Kion said.

He pressed himself against Kiara's pelt.

Kiara bent her head, and rasped her tongue over his ear.

Kion purred.

"I love you, Kiara" he said.

"I love you too" Kiara answered.
