## Script

The Guard was resting by Ciso River, after a morning filled by the Ujina Pride attempting to enter the Tree of Life, this time through another way. However, the Lion Guard managed to make them run with their tails between their legs back to the Mountains. Baliyo approached them.

”Hey Kion?” Baliyo asked, turning to Kion. “I need your help. It’s something with the Shrews!”

”On it!” Kion jumped up. “I’ll be back guys!”

”Fuli!” Azaad shouted, running to Fuli. “Azaad needs you to help me.”

”Sure. Guess I’ll be leaving now too.” Fuli said as she got up, running with Azaad. Soon, Besthe and Bunga also had to leave, which left just Anga and Ono.

”I guess we’ll go back to the trees or stay here.” Anga stated.

“Well, Surak asked me to go and help him with facts about Tigers. He doesn’t know a lot about them.” Ono replied. “But, why don’t you go talk to some of the inhabitants of the tree of life?”

”Sure.” Anga said, as she flew up. Anga flew around, looking for someone to talk too. She noticed Heng Heng, the giant panda, eating on the Bamboo.

”Hey Heng Heng.” Anga spoke, as she landed down next to Heng Heng.

”Oh, hello Anga.” Heng Heng replied. “Do you mind if we can talk later? I want to eat my share of the bamboo before Kely and his troop come!”

”Sure.” Anga spoke, flying up again. “Who would be the perfect animal to talk too.” Anga said, as she used her eyesight to the fullest. She noticed in the Tundra that Safiri, the female polar bear, was walking alone.

“Hello, Safiri.” Anga said as she landed down. “I don’t think we have talked much to each other since I got here.”

”Oh, you are Anga! The Keenest of Sight, right?” Safiri asked, looking at Anga.

”Yep.” Anga replied, thinking of what to say. “Your name is different than Tangaagim’s.”

”Oh, yes. Queen Janna liked the name since it came from the Pride Lands.” Safiri answered. “My name, Safiri, means ‘journey’.”

”I know a lot about journeying. I did a whole lot when we came to the Tree of Life.” Anga responded.

”Didn’t you miss your family?” Safiri asked. “I don’t have one besides Tangaagim, but I would terribly miss them if I were you! My family has been living here for generations, we don’t know how we have come here, but it is only me and my brother left.”

“Well, i wouldn’t know, really.” Anga said. “When I was an egg, I must have rolled out of my nest. My egg rolled up next to a river, where i hatched. I had to survive all on my own when I was young.”

”I’m sorry about that, Anga.” Safiri said, a tear rolling down her face.

”It’s fine.” Anga responded. “I didn’t know my parents, and I had no problem with looking after myself. I did make friends, and when the evil spirit of Scar returned I thought about making a new nest in the Back Lands, but when the Lion Guard offered me a place to help defeat him, I agreed and stayed. The rest is history, I guess.”

”You’re really brave, Anga!” Safiri exclaimed. “What about anything about a romantic partner?”

”I’m not sure about any of that.” Anga shrugged. “I’ve never met the right bird.”

”Well, if you ever want help, just asked me.” Safiri smiled.

”Why?” Anga looked at her.

”I have seen a Martial Eagle that lives on the outskirts of the Tree of Life, on the other side. He flies around sometimes to say hi, and otherwise doesn’t bother with us. And we are friends now!” Safiri responded.

”I’m glad to be you’re friend, Safiri.” Anga smiled. The two of them started to walk together to Ciso River. By this time, everyone had come back and was waiting for Anga.

”Hey Anga! Is that your new friend?” Bunga asked, running up towards Safiri.

”Oh, hey there Safiri!” Besthe smiled.

”Hey Besthe! Lion Guard!” Safiri spoke.

“So what brings you here?” Ono asked.

”Oh, I was walking with Anga!” Safiri responded.

”Yep.” Anga added on.

“I have to go now, but I’ll speak to you later, Anga?” Safiri spoke, looking at Anga.

Anga nodded and Safiri left. “I didn’t know you were friends with Safiri, Anga.” Fuli looked at Anga, as they headed to the borders.

”Well, i saw her and thought why not. She’s actually pretty cool.” Anga replied.

”After patrol, let’s have a feast of bugs!” Bunga said.

”No thanks.” Fuli responded, as the rest of them laughed.
