[CROWD CHEERING]
She's so beautiful.
And so queenly.
On behalf of the royal family,
I welcome our friend and ally Queen Dhahabu.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Thank you, Your Majesty.
And my warmest wishes to everyone here in the Pride Lands.
[ALL CHEERING]
SIMBA: Thank you all for giving our guests such a spirited welcome.
The official celebration will continue at sundown.
Did you see Dhahabu's dance moves?
Un-Bunga-lievable!
Poa. And she sure can sing.
Yeah, but isn't she supposed to be here on serious business?
Indeed. The water treaty between the Pride Lands and the Back Lands
is very serious.
Yeah. Dhahabu's watering hole is helping everyone in the Pride Lands
get through the dry season.
Then let me ask you a serious question.
Do you think she remembered me?
DHAHABU: There you are.
She does!
I've been looking forward to seeing you again.
Hello, Your Majesty. It's good to see you too.
Hiya, Queen Dhahabu.
My little mongoose.
That's me.
So, Dhahabu, how about we show you the local landmarks?
Oh, that sounds delightful.
But a tour has already been arranged.
Dad asked me to take Queen Dhahabu around the Pride Lands,
as her royal escort.
-And we're helping Kiara. -That's right.
Aw.
Why don't we all go together?
That way I can catch up with my old friends while making new ones.
Yeah, great idea.
[ZEBRAS WHINNYING]
Oh, I almost forgot.
Faithful subjects, King Simba has given permission
for you all to enjoy the Pride Lands during my visit.
So go, frolic and romp.
[ZEBRAS WHINNYING]
Just be back by sunset.
What about us, oh, queen?
We're coming with you, right?
After all, what would you do without Raha and Starehe?
You never go anywhere without us.
I have these lovely Pride Landers to look after my needs.
Enjoy yourselves with the others.
BOTH: Yes, my queen.
-Frolic and romp? -Frolic and romp.
So where shall we go first, Princess Kiara?
The Mekundu Cliffs. This way, Your Majesty.
Are we seriously going on a tour?
Looks like it.
I sure am.
Oh, it'll be fun.
Just think of it as going on patrol, with a special guest.
Fine.
I always imagined the Pride Lands as being greener.
It's very green during the rainy season. But this time of year...
Everything get dried out and frizzy.
Especially my fur.
Your coat looks beautifully soft and silky.
And how do you get your stripes that color?
I love it.
Thank you. I'm just lucky, I guess.
Well, everyone in the Pride Lands is grateful for your help.
This dry season is especially bad.
So you can see how important the water treaty is for us.
Of course.
We're happy to help our Pride Land friends.
Ono, what's wrong?
I don't like the look of those clouds.
I do. We could use some rain.
Well, it is raining high up in the sky,
but it's too hot for rain to reach the ground.
-So? -So it's also the perfect condition for--
[THUNDER CRASHES]
Dry lightning!
[DHAHABA GASPS]
Gracious! A fire!
Heyvi kabisa! The queen!
Fuli, get the queen to safety.
On it. Huwezi!
It's coming right at us. What are we gonna do?
FULI: Follow me.
Hurry, Your Majesty. You'll be trapped against the cliffs.
But I... I can't.
You have to jump it. Move! Now!
Jump.
Bunga. Beshte. Fire break. Let's keep it burning toward the cliffs.
-Zuka zama. -Twende kiboko.
KIARA: Kion, how can I help?
-We need to put out the hot spots. -Got it.
-You too, Ono. -Affirmative.
Incoming!
-Kind of hot around here. -You just noticed?
This is far enough. You'll be safe here.
Sorry I shouted at you back there, Your Majesty.
Oh. I'm not. Your shouting helped me get moving.
Thank you, Fuli.
Gracious. The Lion Guard certainly works fast.
Fire's out. Everybody okay?
Yes, thanks to the Lion Guard.
And it was all done with such speed and coolness.
We can't help it. We're the best.
Gotta admit, I don't know what the Pride Lands would do
without the Lion Guard.
Oh, that's exactly what I need. A guard.
A Queen's Guard.
Fuli, I've never seen anyone move so quickly.
With you by my side, I would always feel safe.
I would like you to be my personal guard for the remainder of my visit.
You... You would?
What about me, your loyal mongoose?
That's really nice of you, Your Majesty.
But Fuli is already a member of the Lion Guard, so...
Kion.
Queen Dhahabu is sharing her water with us.
I think we should do whatever she asks.
Yeah, but...
It's just while she's here.
Your Majesty, I'm sure Fuli would be honored
to act as your personal guard for your visit.
I would?
I mean... I would.
Wonderful.
And you two. You never left my side during the ordeal.
I want you to be my guards as well.
-Really? -Ooh, yes.
Tiifu? Zuri? I was counting on your help tonight.
Remember? Sharing her water? Do what she asks?
[KIARA CHUCKLES]
I know Tiifu and Zuri would also be honored
to be your temporary guards.
So honored.
So totally honored.
That's settled.
Now I have my own Queen's Guard.
I think this calls for a celebration.
Let's all frolic and romp.
Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
BOTH: Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
Come, Fuli. Prance with us.
Frolic. And romp.
Well, my new guards certainly are enthusiastic.
And now that I have them, I won't need you to escort me.
But, Your Majesty...
I'm sure you have many other duties to attend to.
It's okay. She's got Fuli.
I'll have Ono keep an eye on them too.
Well, okay.
I do need to help prepare for tonight's event.
And we'll go on patrol.
Lion Guard, let's go.
Fuli!
Oh. Sorry. Force of habit.
[SIGHS]
SCAR: You did well to report this, skinks.
But the water treaty with the zebras must be put to an end.
I want the Pride Lands to stay thirsty.
Perhaps something unfortunate will happen to the queen during her visit.
Something very unfortunate.
Bring me Reirei and the jackals.
They're good at this sort of thing.
With the queen gone, there will be no treaty
and no extra water for the Pride Lands.
I sure hope Fuli's all right. She didn't look very happy.
RAHA AND STAREHE [IN FLAT VOICE]: Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
Oh. Hello.
They don't look very happy either.
Hey, Raha. Starehe. What are you two up to?
-Oh. Frolicking. -Romping.
-But mainly looking for Queen Dhahabu. -Is she with you?
Nah. She's still touring the Pride Lands. With her new guard.
Her new guard?
BOTH: Oh.
We thought she might need us.
She's never been apart from us this long.
Don't worry. We can find her for you.
BOTH: Okay!
-Ono? -On it.
They're adorable.
What do you call them again?
Baboons.
Baboons are delightful.
They sure do love Fuli.
Would you look at that?
A golden zebra.
I didn't know they came in different flavors.
What you think it tastes like?
Only one way to find out.
[BABOONS GIBBERING]
Ha-ha-ha. Fuli, let them tug your tail again.
REIREI: Jackals, get them.
[BABOONS SCREECHING]
[BARKING]
[ALL SCREAMING]
Hmm. I never thought I'd be happy to see jackals. Huwezi.
[ROARS]
Nobody gets past me.
Bravo, my loyal guard.
Defend your queen.
We'll be back here, uh, protecting the rear.
[ALL GROWLING]
[GASPS]
Hapana! Everyone, everyone, I found Dhahabu.
But so have the jackals.
Let's go.
Till the Pride Lands end...
ALL: Lion Guard defend.
What are jackals?
Who cares? They found Dhahabu.
I'm warning you. Stay back.
You might be fast, but you can't be everywhere.
KION: But we can.
Lion Guard.
BESHTE: Twende kiboko!
Zuka zama!
Knock it off, you pesky bird.
FULI: You think he's pesky?
Way to go, Fuli.
How dreadful. We must find our queen and--
Ahh! Oh, no.
Our queen is in danger.
It's time to...
BOTH: Kick and stomp!
Like my mama used to say,
sneak and you shall-- Huh?
[GOIGOI YELLS]
RAHA & STAREHE: Kick and stomp! Kick and stomp!
Kick and stomp!
Jackals, skedaddle.
[JACKALS WHIMPERING]
That's right. And stay skedaddled.
-Are you hurt, my queen? -Please tell us you're all right.
All right?
I'm exhilarated. Thanks to the Queen's Guard.
Fuli, my champion. You were magnificent.
You single-handedly held those jackals at bay.
-Thanks, but-- -And where are Tiifu and Zuri?
Here, Your Majesty.
[GROANING]
That's right. Shoo.
You two stopped that wretched creature from attacking me from behind.
We did?
You are being far too modest.
But, Your Majesty--
Yes, yes, Kion. Your guard helped too.
There's plenty of credit to go around.
But I saw Raha and Starehe--
Kion saw to it that we were safe, and we thank him.
Yes, thank you, Kion.
This remarkable day has made me come to a realization.
My Queen's Guard must be made permanent.
Fuli, Tiifu and Zuri will remain by my side always.
Huh?
We celebrate your wisdom, my queen.
Then so shall I.
Frolic and romp with me.
ZEBRAS: Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
Kion, you have to do something.
No way I'm leaving the Lion Guard.
We don't wanna be her guards either.
Yeah. She actually expects us to guard her.
-Kion? -Fuli's a part of the team.
Ah, but you can't offend the queen. Remember the water treaty?
ZEBRAS: Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
I've got an idea that will give everyone what they want.
But I'm gonna need a little time.
DHAHABU: Oh, Queen's Guard!
Yes, Your Majesty?
Show me to the nearest watering hole.
I must refresh myself before tonight's event.
This way.
Raha, Starehe, I saw what you did to protect Dhahabu.
Why wouldn't you let me tell her?
The queen loves us because we're happy and carefree.
She would not want to see us acting like that.
Acting like what?
Kion, what are you talking about?
I think Raha and Starehe would make a great Queen's Guard.
ALL: Them? BOTH: Us?
The water feels divine.
How can she be so happy? Can't she see we're miserable?
Why are you two so upset?
I thought you loved hanging out with royalty.
And Dhahabu's a queen.
It was fine for a day.
Before the jackals showed up.
But we could never leave Kiara. She's our best friend.
Besides, someday she'll be a queen too.
And it'll be up to us to help her be a good one.
Wow, I never realized you felt so--
[JACKALS GROWLING]
Uh-oh. Look who's back.
Ugh. Not again.
But our job is to frolic and romp.
That's all the queen ever wants us to do.
She might think differently if she saw you two in action.
I wanna see you in action. Come on. Show me what you got.
BOTH: Frolic and romp. Frolic and romp.
-I give up. BOTH: Frolic and romp.
Sorry. We can't just turn it on and off.
Something has to really make us angry.
Okay, so, what would it take?
Hapana! The jackals are back.
They're attacking the watering hole. Dhahabu's in danger.
BOTH: Dhahabu's in danger?
Kick and stomp!
Kick and stomp. Kick and stomp.
-Whoa. -Well, now we know what it takes.
Come on. Till the Pride Lands end...
ALL: Lion Guard defend.
[ALL GROWL]
-We wanna help. -Then stay by the queen.
We won't leave her side.
You shouldn't have come back, Reirei.
You've already been beaten once today.
But this time we brought along some extra teeth.
[CROCODILES GROWLING]
Aah! Crocodiles!
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
RAHA & STAREHE: Kick and stomp! Kick and stomp!
You're in for a surprise, all right.
RAHA & STAREHE: Kick and stomp! Kick and stomp!
What in the Outlands?
BOTH: Kick and stomp! Kick and stomp!
Raha? Starehe? Is that really you?
[JACKAL GROANS]
I told you those striped varmints was mean.
Jackals, skedaddle.
That was the easiest fight ever.
DHAHABU: Raha. Starehe.
I've never seen you like that.
Sorry, oh, queen.
So embarrassing.
Embarrassing? I don't think so.
Fuli, Tiifu, Zuri,
I'm sorry, but I no longer need you to be my Queen's Guard.
It seems I've had a Queen's Guard all along.
I just never knew it, until now.
And I hope this water treaty may allow friendship and goodwill
to flow between our realms forever.
[ALL CHEERING]
You gonna miss being Queen Dhahabu's Guard?
I'm happy right where I am.
