Adventures of Dr. Whooves: A Jungle Misadventure

A/N: Don't worry, Roleplayer48, I do forgive you and as for that one review, he/she did apologize in that review, and I'm not letting it worry me as it wasn't all that harsh. I did read it twice to be sure. Anyhow, here's a bonus chapter just for you, and I'm going to try to update on Saturday. If there isn't anything new that day, then you can expect more updates on Monday. Later! ;)

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER FOUR: TIMON AND PUMBA MEET KAA

While the three animals were singing and dancing, on the other side of the river, Dr. Whooves and Derpy were still searching for their missing friends by following the beeping of his sonic screwdriver, and the Time Lord was certain that they were getting close as the beeping got louder. He was so focused on the device that he didn't see the edge of the river until Derpy stopped him by grabbing his tail.

"Miss Derpy, what are- oh," Dr. Whooves began and stopped when he saw how close he was to the edge of the river. "Oh, um, thank you."

"You're welcome," said the pegasus, letting his tail go and nodded to the river. "So, should I carry you across to the other side?"

The Time Lord examined the river, noting how wide it was, and then shook his head. "No, I'm afraid that it's too far even for you to fly while carrying me, my friend," he said. "No, I'll have to find a way to cross without straining your wings."

"I could fly over and take a look," Derpy offered. "Just a quick look," she added when he gave her an uncertain look.

"Tempting as it is," said Dr. Whooves, "I rather not take the chance since this is a new environment, and neither you nor I know what kind of dangers exist in this new place."

The pegasus thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "Ok. So, how do we get- Look out!" she shrieked when a bunch of monkeys suddenly dropped out of the trees and came after them.

"Run!" The two ponies fled along the edge of the river, being chased by the monkeys. Just when it looked like they were going to be caught, they saw a few feet ahead of them was a tree that'd fallen and was resting on both sides of the river. "To the tree! Hurry!" They managed to reach the tree and while Derpy took flight, Dr. Whooves climbed onto the tree, and he ran across it.

Unfortunately, the monkeys also chased after the Time Lord, and they almost caught him when the pegasus suddenly flew back and began dropping hard fruit on the heads of the monkeys.

Shrieking, the monkeys retreated back across the fallen tree, and Derpy kept throwing the fruit at the monkeys until they were out of sight. Pleased, she turned and her heart sank when she saw no sign of her friend. "Doc? Doc?"

The pegasus flew to the other side of the river, searching for some sign of the Time Lord, but she couldn't tell where he'd gone through the bushes since they were so thick, and she landed to check the ground. Examining the ground, she found hoof-prints and she began following them into the jungle, hoping to find her friend soon.


Meanwhile, Dr. Whooves kept running through the bushes and trees, and it wasn't until he tumbled down a hillside that he finally stopped and worked on catching his breath. "Whew! Whew!" he gasped, lying on the ground for a full minute before he sat up and took in his surroundings. "That was close, wasn't it, Derpy? Derpy?"

The Time Lord quickly got to his hooves and began looking around for the pegasus. "Derpy? Miss Derpy?" he called out, climbing back up the hillside. "Derpy, can you hear me? Derpy!" He reached the top of the hill, looked around, and still seeing no sign of the pegasus, began heading back in the direction that he was certain that he'd been running, hoping that she would be looking for him, too.


In a region of the jungle, there was an ancient ruin that had once been built by humans, and it was currently the home of a bulky orange orangutan known as King Louie. It'd taken him and his monkey minions quite a bit of time to rebuild the ruin enough to be able to live in it again, and he was fuming over the fact that he'd failed to learn how to make "man's red flower" when he had the chance.

He'd hoped that another opportunity would arise, and one did when one of his monkey minions informed him about the arrival of the strange blue box and the two ponies that'd come out of it. Intrigued, he'd ordered his minions to grab the ponies and bring them to him, for it was possible that these new arrivals might help him take the final step in becoming human.

King Louie was lounging on his throne when the monkeys returned and he groaned when he saw that they were all battered-looking. "What happen?" he asked, sitting up. "And where are the ponies?"

"One of the ponies could fly and it threw fruit and berries at us just when we were about to catch the one that was running," one of the monkeys answered.

King Louie covered his face with his hand and shook his head. "Oy ve," he groaned. "Ok, ok, so this is a minor setback," he said and nodded to another group of monkeys that were positioning the TARDIS in the center of the stone clearing. "Clean yourselves up, and get back out there to find at least one of those ponies and bring them here!"

The monkeys saluted and hurried away to follow their king's orders. King Louie sat back and rubbed his forehead with one of his feet. 'Honestly, do I have to do everything around here?' he wondered.


While all of this was going on, Baloo was still hanging out with Timon and Pumbaa, swapping stories, snacking on fruit, honey, and both termites and ants, when there was a rustling in the tree above them, and a very long golden python dropped down, startling the meerkat and the warthog to the point that they dove behind the sloth bear, who was also watching the python warily.

"Kaa, what brings you out of the trees?" Baloo inquired.

"Oh, I'd just heard that we have some visitors to the jungle," Kaa answered. "And I was just hoping to meet them."

Baloo knew that Kaa the snake had changed his ways after a few encounters with the man-cub a while back, but he was still a bit wary around the python. "Well, as long as you're only here to say hello and nothing else," he said, moving aside just enough to reveal Timon and Pumbaa. "Kaa, these are my new friends, Timon and Pumbaa. Guys, this is Kaa the snake, and he's just passing by."

"Hello," Kaa said pleasantly. "Nice to meet you both."

"Hi," Timon said nervously and Pumbaa merely waved one hoof, not trusting his own voice once again.

"Baloo, I thought I should let you know that there are two other new arrivals," Kaa informed the sloth bear, "and King Louie is interested in them since they apparently arrived in a tall blue box."

Hearing this, Timon spoke up. "Wait," he said, moving around Baloo so he could see the snake better. "Did you say a blue box?"

Kaa nodded. "Yes, I did, and two creatures came out of it."

"Do you know who he's talking about?" Baloo asked the meerkat.

Timon nodded. "Yeah, and they're a pair of ponies that just happen to be friends of Pumbaa and myself," he answered. "We need to find them before this King Louie does."

"And before Shere Khan can find them," Kaa added. "I saw that infernal tiger following them before King Louie's monkeys showed up to chase after them."

"Who is Shere Khan?" Pumbaa asked, finally finding his voice.

"I'll explain on the way," said Baloo and he turned to the python. "Kaa, inform Bagheera and the Dawn Patrol about this." And once the snake was gone, he lead the meerkat and the warthog into the jungle to look for the missing ponies.


A/N: And as you can see, Kaa is friendly instead of mean.

Kaa: I'm glad that I'm reformed.

Dede42: Same here. (the special door opens and both Little John and Baloo enter.) Hey, guys, welcome to the writers studio, Baloo.

Baloo: Glad to be here. (he looks around and he is impress.) Nice place.

Dede42: Thanks. (her cellphone starts ringing.) Excuse me for a moment, I'll have to take this call since it's from my accountant.

Baloo: Accountant?

Little John: Some humans have accountants to help look after their money, and apparently Dede42 has an accountant who tends to act like Scrooge McDuck when it comes to spending money.

Kaa: What a human calls a money-pincher?

Little John: Exactly, just like Prince John.

Baloo: Ah, the pony Prince of England, right?

Little John: Correct!

Dede42: (into her cellphone) No, I'm not going to stop paying off my student loans! Stop pestering me about that!

Little John: What's the little birches talking about?

Kaa: Apparently since Dede42 is taking time off from college, she's having to pay off student loans and it's taking a while.

Baloo: What's wrong with paying those off?

Dede42: (shuts her cellphone and sighs) Nothing, except that it's gonna take a while. Can you guys think of anything to cheer me up?

Little John: How about we sing about the Phoniest King of England?

Dede42: Ok! (And they all start singing and dancing about the Phoniest King of England) R&R everyone!
