The Lion Guard: A Grandmother's Support

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"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.

"Thanks Ono" Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I need to go. Nai Nai wants to see me." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Sarabi settled down outside the den.

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Sarabi's cheek.

"Hi Nai Nai." Kion said.

Sarabi's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." She said.

Kion crawled into her paws, and nestled against her.

"How was the hunt?" Kion asked.

"It was fine." Sarabi answered.

She rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"Did you have a good patrol?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Sarabi's pelt.

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

"What is it?" Sarabi prompted.

"Do I still have your support?" Kion asked.

Sarabi nodded.

"You always will." She said.

"I love you" Kion said.

"I love you too." Sarabi answered.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"I love you." Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I love you too." He answered.
