It was a dark and stormy night in Jessica's sorority house. Oddball shivered in her basket and had a hard time sleeping, she then crawled out and scratched the door to Jessica's bedroom. She then sat with a sniffle and whined loudly as Jessica didn't come then and she had a hard time sleeping.

Jessica opened the door and yawned. "What's wrong, girl?"

"I can't sleep..." Oddball pouted.

"Hmm... This storm almost reminds me of the one that Mom and Dad were on when we left Beach City for a vacation with their old friends when I was three." Jessica said as she picked up her poor puppy. "They also had a son that was going to be raised by apes."

Oddball looked curious. "You knew Tarzan?"

"Yeah... Didn't I ever tell you that story?" Jessica smiled.

"No, you didn't." Oddball shook her head.

Jessica sat up in her bed and held Oddball like a baby. "Maybe this story will cheer you up."

Oddball smiled. "You would make a wonderful mother."

Jessica smiled softly back as she stroked her belly. "I hope so."

"So, how does the story start?" Oddball asked.

"Well, it was back in Beach City when I was very little..." Jessica started.


Flashback

There was a boat loading up and there were a couple of tourists going on it with their baby.

"Maybe we should take a vacation..." Patrick said as Jessica was practicing walking on the sand.

"Yeah." Emily nodded.

"But where would we go?" Emily asked.

Patrick hummed as he saw the tourists getting on the boat to leave Beach City. "Wherever those folks are going."

Jessica was walking with Baby Sour Cream and giggled as they both fell in the sand together.

"We better get Jessica." Emily said.

"I'll go get her." Patrick said, going towards their daughter.

"Come here, you little rebel..." Vidalia said as she picked up Sour Cream.

"Come on, Jessie, we have to go." Patrick said as he pick up Jessica.

Jessica pouted.

"Come back real soon, little one..." Rose cooed to Jessica.

Jessica cooed and giggled. "Aunt Rose~"

Rose soon tickled Jessica under her chin. Jessica giggled and waved to Rose.

"You have such a way with children, Rose Quartz." Patrick smiled as he held Jessica in his arms.

"Children are amazing creatures." Rose agreed.


"Excuse me, but where are you all headed?" Emily asked the couple about to get onto the boat.

"Back home to England, would you like to join us?" the crimson-haired woman replied as she held her son.

"We'd love to." Emily smiled.

"Very well..." the woman smiled back.

"And you are?" Emily then asked for an introduction.

"I'm Alice Greystroke..." the woman replied. "My husband John."

"And who's this handsome little guy?" Emily smiled as she looked at the baby boy in Alice's arms.

"This is our son," Alice smiled. "We think we might name him after John, he looks so much like him..."

"Yes, he does..." Emily agreed. "We have a daughter Jessica, she's almost three."

"That's wonderful." Alice smiled.

Patrick came over with Jessica. Jessica looked to Alice and John's baby son and seemed to like him and he even smiled to her.

"Come on, let's get going, hopefully we can make it there by tomorrow." John told the others.


They all then got onto the boat and floated away from Beach City.

"Bye, Amethyst..." Jessica pouted as they left.

"See ya, kid." Amethyst waved.

Jessica wiped her eyes and pouted as she was going to be away from Amethyst.


It seemed to get worse as they went along. Later that night, there was a lightning storm and one bolt hit the boat which was enough to make it catch on fire.

"Oh, no, fire!" Emily gasped.

"You girls get out now!" Patrick told Alice and Emily.

"But what about you and John?!" Alice frowned as she held her baby son close in her arms.

"We'll be right with you!" Patrick told her.

"Go, now!" John urged their wives.

Emily and Alice were lowered down into a lifeboat with their children.

"Daddy?" Jessica frowned.

Emily held Jessica close as tears came to her eyes. "Patrick, please be careful..." She then whispered as she held their daughter close.

Soon enough, John and Patrick jumped from the boat and splashed into the water and swam over past the strong waves to get to their wives and children. Once they got to their wives and children, Patrick and John got into the boat.

"Oh, Patrick..." Emily hugged her husband with one arm and put her head against his chest with tears leaked into her eyes as they streamed down her cheekbones. "Thank Poseidon."

Patrick embraced her back as Alice embraced with John.

"We'll need to find land." Emily said.

"England will have to wait, darling." John told his wife.

"Oh, I hope the little one understands." Alice cooed to their son.

"I'm sure he will." Patrick said as they got away from the flaming boat.

The couples and children all embraced each other for warmth until they would find land.

"We all then found a temporary place to stay..." Jessica narrated to Oddball. "We would stay in the jungle. And also, I would find out my special talent there to talk to animals once I got older and accustomed to the jungle as Baby Tarzan became my best friend away from Amethyst."

"Wait, wait, wait, how long were you on that island?" Oddball's voice asked.

"We first stayed until Tarzan was adopted by Kala and Kerchak, unfortunately..." Jessica said before sighing. "That would be the last we would see of Lord and Lady Greystroke."

"Why didn't you all adopt Tarzan?" Oddball asked.

"Because Kala and Kerchak already lost their own child and we saw Kala was happier with Tarzan and vice versa," Jessica explained. "We also visited some years later after Atticus was taken from us as a baby and the jungle seemed to make me happy and we went back by instinct when Tarzan was a little bit older and I became his friend with Terk and Tantor years later."

"So then, should we go and visit him and see how he is doing?" Oddball asked.

"Maybe someday," Jessica replied. "Anyway, after we found land..."


John, Patrick, Emily, and Alice were then building up shelter and made a tree-house until help would come to bring them back home. Unfortunately, help would come a little too late for Alice and John.

"This tree-house looks stable." Emily smiled.

"You guys did a great job." Alice smiled to their husbands.

Patrick and John smiled back before taking their children. Patrick and Emily smiled as Jessica had fun playing with John and Alice's baby and it made them think about maybe having another child someday.

"I hope we get to have another child." Emily smiled.

"That would be nice..." Patrick agreed. "Maybe someday."

Emily held him as they had a lot of fun so far. One night, there was a leopard on the loose who was known as Sabor. Patrick seemed to sense danger as he looked out the window. Emily and Jessica were sleeping close together as John, Alice, and their baby were given their own space. Patrick then stood up as he looked out the window to take a closer look as it was now night time in the jungle.

He soon saw Sabor coming to the tree-house. He then gasped at the sight of the leopard. The leopard narrowed her eyes as she snarled viciously. Patrick soon closed the window an went to inform his wife and friends. The leopard was looking for fresh meat.

"Emily! Emily!" Patrick ran over to his wife.

Emily shushed him as she then came to him and closed the door to drown out the sound. "Jessie's asleep."

"There's a leopard coming here." Patrick informed her.

"A leopard?" Emily's face paled.

Patrick nodded fearfully.

"W-What do we do?!" Emily frowned, she then opened the door and rushed over, carrying Jessica in her arms, luckily not waking her up.

"We have to defend ourselves and the children." Patrick said.

"We have to tell Alice and John." Emily said as she carried Jessica.

Patrick and Emily then rushed to see the other couple as there were leopard snarls heard along with some screaming. They then picked up the pace to save their new friends from certain death. Patrick soon opened the door first without any hesitation. Emily looked terrified and her face turned deathly pale and she buried her face into Patrick's chest. Patrick then held her close as he had tears in his eyes. He had failed like when he tried to save the Apple couple. They soon heard a familiar leopard sound.

"Oh, no..." Patrick's eyes widened.

Sabor snarled as she then came to get Patrick, Emily, and Jessica.

"Stay away from my family!" Patrick glared.

Sabor snarled and approached Patrick.

"Get out of here..." Patrick urged Emily. "Save Jessica."

Emily nodded as she held Jessica close and ran off. Patrick then cornered Sabor, not caring how dangerous the predator was. Sabor was ready to strike, unknown that Patrick could do magic. She then lunged out for him. Patrick then took out his wand and a spell book and activated a force field. Sabor then screeched as she bounced off the force field and fell flat on the ground.

"You won't hurt anyone again while I'm here!" Patrick glared at the wild cat.

Sabor then tried to break through the force field, even clawing at it, but had no success.

"Now leave before I hit you with a spell." Patrick threatened.

Sabor snarled and lost interested, then going off. Patrick kept the force field up and once it was quiet enough, he then stopped it and went to find Emily and Jessica.

"Oh, Patrick, thank goodness..." Emily frowned as she held Jessica. "How did you do it?"

"Magic..." Patrick replied. "Unfortunately Alice and John couldn't be saved."

"Can't you bring them back, Daddy?" Jessica pouted.

"I'm sorry, Jessie..." Patrick sighed as he tried not to cry in front of her because then it would only make her cry. "But there are some things that even Mommy and Daddy can't fix."

"It's not fair." Jessica pouted.

"Jessie, it'll be okay..." Emily soothed.

Oddball wiped her eyes with her paw as she let loose some tears.

"It's okay, Oddy, let it all out." Jessica soothed her puppy.

"I's so sad that Tarzan had to lose his parents." Oddball frowned.

"I know..." Jessica agreed as she hugged Oddball. "I wanted to do something too, but I was just little and powerless, at least so far back then. We were going to raise Tarzan as our own, but since this gorilla mother named Kala had lost her own baby and she really liked him, she decided to raise him and adopt him as her own, even if Kerchak wasn't that fond of the idea."

"So, what happened when you got a little older?" Oddball asked.

"Since I became friends with Terk and Tarzan, Mom and Dad decided we should visit the jungle again and they let me play with the animals after I found out I could talk to them, I still missed Amethyst, but I made some new friends." Jessica began to narrate.

"Aw!" Oddball smiled.

Jessica smiled back.

"So, what brought you guys back to the jungle?" Oddball asked.

Jessica sighed sharply. "Atticus's kidnapping."

"Oh, my..." Oddball frowned.

Jessica sighed, that was a sad time that not even Amethyst, Aunt Pearl, Aunt Garnet, or Aunt Rose could make it better. The family was then back in the jungle and Tarzan was now older and had very long hair and wore a loincloth now.
