The Lion Guard: A Reliable Brotherhood

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

“How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Great job, Ono." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I need to go. Kovu wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said warmly.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached the Meadow, he saw Kovu settled down underneath the baobab tree.

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu’s cheek.

“Hi Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kovu said warmly.

Kion crawled into Kovu’s paws, and nestled against him.

“Did you have a good patrol?” Kovu asked.

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“I love you.” Kion said.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kovu said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you, sweetheart.” Nala said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” Simba said.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.
