It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.
The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.
"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." 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!" Mari 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." She said.
“Okay, Mari.” Fuli said.
She and Kion followed Mari into the den.
They settled down amongst the moss.
"Do you like to patrol, Mari?" Fuli asked.
Marigold nodded.
"It's really fun." She said brightly.
Fuli chuckled.
"That's wonderful." She purred.
She rubbed a paw against Mari’s cheek.
Marigold nestled against Fuli’s pelt.
“I love you both.” Mari said.
“We love you too.” Kion said warmly.
He bent his head, and nuzzled Mari’s cheek.
Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.
They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.
"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.
"It was fine." Nala answered.
