The Lion Guard: Mohatu's Affection

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion 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.

"Great job, Ono." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I want to talk to Grandfather." He said.

Fuli's expression softened.

"Let's go to the Meadow." She said gently.

Kion nodded.

He and Fuli led the way to the Meadow.

When they arrived, they settled down underneath the baobab tree.

Kion glanced up.

"Grandfather, I want to talk to you!" He called.

He shivered as Mohatu's spirit embraced him.

"What is it, Kion?" Mohatu asked.

Kion felt Fuli move to stand beside him.

"I wish you could be here." Kion said.

Mohatu's expression softened.

"I'll always be here for you." He said.

“I love you, Grandfather.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Mohatu answered.

Kion watched Mohatu's spirit fade away.

He felt Fuli press her muzzle against his cheek.

"Are you okay?" Fuli asked.

Kion nodded.

"Do you want to visit Mari?" He asked.

"Sure." Fuli answered.

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 knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hi Mari." She answered.

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

"Are you having a good day?" Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

"I'm glad you're both here." She said.

"We're glad too" Fuli purred.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at Hapuna Valley.

They were settled down underneath a baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.

"I love you." Nala said.

"I love you too." Simba purred.
