The Lion Guard: An Extraordinary Connection

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Basi?" Kion asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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." Fuli said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

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

Marigold 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?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

“I caught an antelope.” Kia said.

“That’s wonderful, Kia.” Kenai said.

Bemba rubbed a paw against Kia’s cheek.

“I’m so proud of you and Belee.” Bemba said.

“Thanks, Grandma.” Kia said.

Kenai leaned over, and nuzzled Kia’s cheek.

“I am too. I love you, Kia.” Kenai said.

“I love you too.” Kia answered.
