I know a lot of people don't like The Jungle Book 2, and somehow, I can't blame them. Soooooo I came up with an abridged version of it.

I don't own The Jungle Book (damn!). It belongs to Disney.

Our story begins a while after the first Jungle Book movie. Mowgli now knows how to speak perfect...human, and is a little older. He presents a puppet show to the villigars, which is the closest thing to a "Previously on..." segment that Disney has ever gotten in a sequel.

"...So there I was minding my own business when Shere Khan the tiger attacks me!" Mowgli was interpreting his story using paper silohuotte puppets behind a thin sheet in front of a long torch of fire. Ranjan, an upbeat younger, more hyper version of Mowgli (Complete with a loincloth...which Mowgli also wears...even though he's been in the man-village for "a while" now), attacks the sheet pretending it's really Shere Khan.

"RAWR! I'MMA BURN YOUR BUTT, SHERE KHAN!"

Shanti, the girl who lured Mowgli into the village at the end of the first film (who also traded her pigtails and purple tube dress for a braid down her back and a white t-shirt and a long blue skirt) laughed at Ranjan's antics.

Mowgli just smiled. "Well, you know the rest."

"Yep!" Piped up Ranjan. "Shanti the siren lured you into our village!"

Shanti scoffed. "I'm so not a siren!"

"Then why did you lure me into your village?" Mowgli winked.

"Because...uh..." Shanti struggled for the right word.

"You think I'm gorgeous. You wanna date me. You wanna kiss me. Love me, and marry me." Mowgli sang teasingly. He and Ranjan laughed, and Shanti glared at the two boys.

"I'd rather stick pins in my eyes." She stated.

Ranjan's father and Mowgli's adopted father- aka Blackbeard- walked over to the trio and spoke to Mowgli and Shanti. "All right, stop flirting, you two. It's time for bed.?"

"We're not flirting..." Shanti grumbled.

So, while Blackbeard and Mrs. Blackbeard prepared to put Ranjan to bed, things were a little awkward between Mowgli and his adopted father, despite how quickly he became attached to Baloo.

The next day, Mowgli and Ranjan plotted to scare Shanti by saying that Shere Khan is looking for Mowgli to kill him for revenge.

"Sure. Right." Shanti rolled heer eyes. "Tigers just come waltzing through villages looking forfr revenge. What's next? A singing bear?"

Mowgli raised his index finger. "Actually..."

Shanti groaned. "I've heard enough of this!" She stormed off.

Mowgli shrugged. "What'd I do?"

Later, Shanti ranted about Mowgli to Ranjan. "...Not only is he a bad influence, but he's wild, too laid back, and..."

"Cute?" Ranjan smirked.

"Yes!" Shanti's eyes widened as a she realized what she just said. "I-I mean, no! God no! He's ugly, stupid, and..."

"You don't like him." Ranjan guessed.

"I do like him! As a friend." Shanti answered.

"Well, it's good to see that you still like me, at least." Shanti jumped and turned around to see Mowgli standing behind her holding the urn Shanti was going to fill with water. "You left this at the river.

Shanti sighed and took the urn from him. "Well, you're polite. I'll give you that."

"So....does this mean you'll come to the jungle with me?" Mowgli asked.

"Don't push your luck." Shanti said. "The jungle is a dangerous and scary place."

"Hey, the only thing that's dangerous about it is Shere Khan." Mowgli rolled his eyes. "Allow me to explain...through song!"

Mowgli, Ranjan, and some of the village kids sang about the jungle and made animal sounds. Shanti eventually gave in and joijned the fun until Mowgli started leading them to the river that lead to the jungle.

"Hey, when did we get stepping stones across the river?" Asked a random village kid.

"Ah, who caes?" Replied another. "It's a sequel!"

Shanti then realizes what Mowgli was planning and yelled for him to stop, which attracts Blackbeard's attention.

"What the hell, Mowgli?! I thought I told you not to cross the river!" Blackbeard scolded. Then he set the foundation for all of the Lion King references in this film. "You deliberately disobeyed me! You are confined in your room without dinner!"

Mowgli then glared at Shanti. "I hate you so much right now."

Later, Mowgli sulked in his room singing quietly and missing Baloo (wow- and after only two days of knowing him, too.)

Speaking of Baloo, let's check up on him!

While Baloo (who has a different color fur and a voice actor who would probably make Phil Harris die laughing, since he hardly sounds like him) sings a remix of The Bare Necessities, he makes a cliche- I mean poor replacement for Mowgli with a weed, a coconut, and a banana peel.

"I think I saw a porno like this once..." Bagheera muttered.

Baloo gave up when the coconut didn't talk. "Oh, forget it. It's not the same!"

Bagheera sighed. "He's just not getting over-" He realized that Baloo ran off. "Dammit, Baloo!" He ran after Baloo, and what timing, too (hey, that rhymed!)! Because Shere Khan appeared at the scene.

"REVENGE!"

Baloo started sneaking off to the village and used a bush as a disguise. A bird tried to land on h9im, but Baloo swatted it away, pissing it off, and causing it to fly to Bagheera.

"I'll show that damned sloth bear to swat me away!" The bird declared.

"Thanks. I owe you one!" Bagheera then chased after Baloo. "Baloo! Stop!"

"What? It's not like I'm committing a crime!" Baloo protested.

"So? You're still risking Mowgli's life by trying to take him from the man-village!" Bagheera pointed out. "You do know that Shere Khan still wants to kill him, right?"

"Yeah, so? We beat Shere Khan once. We'll do it agqin!" Baloo marched across the log over the river. Bagheera kjumped in front of him.

"Don't. You. Dare."

"Out of the way, Baggy!"

"Bite me, Baloo!" Bagheera glared at Baloo. "You are not going anywhere near the-" He somehow crashed through the log into the river. "-VILLAGE!"

"Well, that worked out better than I thought!" Baloo continued across the log but was stopped by Colonel Hathi's herd.

"...Oh, crap on a cracker."

Bagheera came up in front of Baloo. "Try getting past us, now!"

Baloo just shrugged. "Okay." He then dived into the river.

"Dammit!" Bagheera yelled. "Search the water!"

As the elephants searched the water, Hathi and Bagheera conversed- much to Bagheera's horror- on the log which breaks in half and sends both the panther and the elephant into the river. One of Hathi's soldiers plucked Bagheera out of the water by his tail.

"Ahahaha! I struck gold!" He exclaimed. "Hey, how can you fit into a panther costume, Baloo?"

"It's me, you big idiot!" Bagheera snapped.

The elephant glared at Bagheera. "Just for that, you're not gonna be in the movie for the next twenty minutes." He threw Bagheera into the trees.

"DAMMIIIIIT!" Bagheera yelled.

Shere Khan padded through the jungle and ran into the vultures from the first film.

"Hey, look! It's Shere Khan!" Exclaimed one of the vultures.

"You mean Shit Khan!" Lucky, the new member of the group exclaimed. He laughed. "Seriously- he got defeated by forty pounds of scrawny man cub!" They laughed. Shere Kham simmered and continued padding towards the village.

Well, what do you think? This is my first Jungle Book fanfic, so I hope I got the characters right. Even though I know that they're OOC in this fic.
