Chapter Three: Seeking Rafiki's Help

The next day, the skies cleared, revealing the sun once again shining over the Pride Lands. But despite the weather improving, the baboon siblings were still feeling sick.

Bongo: "Achoo! I can't believe we're still sick!" He sneezed loudly.

Bobo: "Achoo! Well, usually sickness doesn't go away in a day." He nodded, his voice stuffy.

Asha: *baby voice* "I still feel yucky." She sniffled.

Bongo: "If only there was a way we could heal faster." He thought out loud, frustrated by their lingering colds.

Then an idea sparked in his mind. His eyes lit up.

Bongo: "Bobo, what if we go see Rafiki for help?" He asked eagerly.

Bobo: "Bongo, Mom and Dad told us to stay home." He raised an eyebrow, feeling unsure.

Bongo: "I know, but I think Rafiki can figure out how to make us feel better." He said, his determination rising.

Bobo: "Hey, you're right. Everyone knows he's the wisest mandrill in the Pride Lands." He thought for a moment, then nodded with a hint of excitement.

Bongo: "Asha, let's go." He turned to Asha with a grin.

Bobo: "We're going to see Rafiki." He added.

Asha: *baby voice* "Okay." She said, sniffling but managed a small smile.

The siblings climbed their tree, determined to visit Rafiki for help.

Meanwhile, at Rafiki's tree, the wise mandrill was busy painting.

Rafiki: "Almost perfect. Just needs a little bit more… There, now it's perfect." He muttered to himself.

Bongo: "Hello, Rafiki, are you up there?" His voice called out from below.

Rafiki paused and looked down.

Rafiki: "Ahh, that must be Bongo." He said with a smile, recognizing the voice.

Climbing down his tree, he greeted the three siblings.

Rafiki: "Why hello, Bongo, Bobo, Asha." He greeted them warmly.

Bongo: "Hi, Rafiki." He said.

Rafiki: "To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked, curious.

Bobo: "Well, since it's gotten cold yesterday, we've all come down with colds now." He explained.

Asha: "Achoo!" She punctuated his words with a sneeze.

Rafiki: "I see. Well then, I must help you all feel better." He nodded sympathetically

Asha: *baby voice* "Thank you, Rafiki." She said sweetly.

Bobo: "Um, Rafiki, why isn't the Lion Guard patrolling the Pride Lands?" He then asked.

Rafiki: "Oh, I'm afraid they are sick as well." He stroked his chin before replying.

Bongo's eyes widened in shock. His best friend, Fuli, was sick too? The news filled him with concern.

Bongo: "Oh no, Fuli is sick too?" He asked, his voice tinged with worry.

Rafiki: "Yes, unfortunately. But don't worry, I'll help you three and the Lion Guard all feel better." He said gently.

Feeling hopeful, the siblings followed Rafiki as he led them toward the Lion Guard's lair.
