The Lion Guard: A Reliable Bond

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

"How's Maple?" Kion asked.

"She's fine." Fuli 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." Kion said.

“It’s been really quiet lately.” Bunga said.

“That’s a good thing, Bunga.” Fuli said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

“Do you want to visit Mari?” Kion asked.

Fuli nodded.

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

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

“Hi!” Marigold said brightly.

Fuli’s expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari’s cheek.

“Hi Mari.” Fuli said.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

“Come inside and sit with me.” Mari said.

“Okay, Mari.” Fuli said.

She and Kion followed Marigold into the den.

They settled down amongst the moss.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Mosi?” Nita asked.

“He is fine.” Rafiki said.
