The Lion Guard: A Grandfather's Pride

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Ameba?" Kion asked.

"She's fine." Fuli said.

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.

"Thanks, Ono." Beshte answered.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." Kion said.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too." Fuli answered.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"I want to talk to Grandpa." Nita said.

Rafiki glanced up.

"Go ahead." Rafiki said.

Nita cleared her throat.

"Grandpa, I want to talk to you!" She called.

She and Rafiki shivered as Mufasa's spirit embraced them.

"Is something troubling you?" Mufasa asked.

Nita felt Rafiki move to stand beside her.

"I want to ask you something." Nita said.

"What is it?" Mufasa prompted.

"Are you proud of me?" Nita asked.

Mufasa's expression softened.

"Of course I am. I always will be." He said.

Nita felt Rafiki press himself against her.

"I love you, Grandpa." Nita said.

"I love you too." Mufasa answered.

Nita watched Mufasa's spirit fade away.

She nestled against Rafiki's side.

"Are you okay?" Rafiki asked.

Nita nodded.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt, Grandma?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
