Chapter Four: The Lion Guard's Struggles

In the Lion Guard lair, the mighty protectors of the Pride Lands were still battling their colds.

Kion: "Achoo!" He sneezed, his voice sounding tired.

Bunga: "Ah… Ahhh… ACHOO!" He grabbed Fuli's tail once again, feeling another sneeze coming on.

Fuli: "Seriously?!" She exclaimed, glaring at him.

Bunga: "Hehe. Sorry, Fuli." He gave her an innocent smile.

Ono: *sighs* "I never knew we'd still be this sick." He sighed, shaking his head.

Kion: *sniffles* "I know we're all still sick, but we need to let our bodies heal." He said with a sniffle.

Beshte: "Kion's right. Sooner or later, we'll be feeling better in no time." He nodded in agreement.

Fuli: "And the sooner the better." She grumbled as she noticed Bunga wiping his nose with her tail again.

Bunga: "What can I say, Fuli? Your tail is so soft," Bunga teased, clearly enjoying himself.

Fuli: "Ughhh!" She groaned, exasperated.

Just then, Rafiki arrived at the lair with a kind but concerned smile.

Rafiki: "Hello, Lion Guard. I can see that you're all still sick." He observed, his tone filled with gentle amusement.

Kion: "Yes, Rafiki. We're all trying to stay positive while we're sick." He nodded.

Bunga: "Achoo!" He let out another loud sneeze into Fuli's tail.

Fuli: "Ugh, Bunga!" Fuli scolded.

Bunga: "What?" He replied with a mischievous grin.

Fuli: "Please tell me you're done sneezing on my tail!" She clenched her teeth, her frustration clear.

Bunga: "Not even close. And come on, Fuli, your tail's super soft." He smirked playfully.

Fuli: "Ugh, I hate being sick." She groaned once again.

Rafiki: "Ha ha ha. You're not the only ones who are sick today, Fuli." He laughed softly.

Kion: "What do you mean, Rafiki?" He looked curious.

At that moment, Bongo, Bobo, and Asha entered the lair, all sniffling.

Beshte: "Bongo?" He said in surprise.

Ono: "Bobo?" He added.

Bunga: "Asha?" He chimed in.

Bongo, Bobo, and Asha: "Hi, Lion Guard. Achoo!" They waved weakly, before sneezing in unison.

Fuli: "Bongo, you're sick too?" She looked at Bongo with concern.

Bongo: *sniffle* "Yes, unfortunately." He nodded, sniffling.

Bobo and Asha sniffled in agreement, rubbing their noses.

Kion: *sighs* "I guess we're not the only ones who are sick." He sighed, realizing they weren't the only ones dealing with illness.

Rafiki: "Since you're all sick, I'll make a remedy to help you feel better. Until then, I want you all to rest." He smiled gently.

With that, the Lion Guard and the baboon siblings settled down for a much-needed nap, while Rafiki began working on his remedy to heal them all.
