The Lion Guard: Rafiki's Faith

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine" Kion answered.

He 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, Kion" Ono said.

"Great job, Ono" Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" She said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She bent down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"How've you been?" She asked.

"I'm fine" Marigold answered.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

"Makini says Gumba's doing well" Nita said.

Rafiki nodded.

"That is wonderful news." He said warmly.

Nita moved closer, and leaned against him.

"I need to ask you something." She said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"You can ask me anything" Rafiki said gently.

Nita sighed.

"Do you still have faith in me?" She asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"I always will. I love you very much." He said.

"I love you too" Nita answered.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"'Kia caught a gazelle" Nala said proudly.

Simba purred.

"That is wonderful." He said warmly.

Nala nodded.
