After Baloo, Mowgli, Shanti, her mother, Ranjan's father and Bagheera left the Man Village they then came across tiger tracks.
"Stop for a second."
"What is it sir?"
"I see tiger tracks, so they've been here." Ranjan's father knew that Selena Khan and Lilly have been here. Baloo looked around until he saw that a tree had scratches from claws of a tiger.
"Scratches, looks like they've been here already."
"Good point Baloo, by the looks of it. They're trying to find us so Mowgli can't be leader of the Man Village." after Bagheera said leader of the Man Village, Mowgli then became more stressed and nervous than ever.
"Good point Bagheera, but I was thinking, they're maybe some tigers as we go on."
"More tiger tracks, we're on the right trail."
"Look Shanti, there's Ranjan's tracks beside the tiger tracks." Mowgli pointed out as Shanti knew Ranjan was there.
"Now what we're thinking is Ranjan might be after the tigers, so that could be why we didn't seen him since the Man Village."
"Now we're on the right trail."
Later on that day Selena and Lilly were in the water trying to see if they can see anything.
"Look at them, they're one of Sher Khan."
"So what are we going to do about that?"
"I don't know, and don't start that again."
"Hey you four up there." Selena Khan called as the vultures looked down at the two tigers.
"What are you two doing down there, weren't you scared of water?" then all the vultures started to laugh.
"Shut up! we just need to find out where Mowgli and his group are." Lilly growled.
"We saw them, they were in the Man Village."
"They're not there, can anyone else tell us were can we find Mowgli and his friends?"
"They're somewhere in the jungle, they're heading to where Ranjan is held right now."
"They're looking for him mother." Selena Khan looked at her daughter and knew that Mowgli and his group must be stopped.
"Thank you, and go away!" Selena Khan roared as the four vultures flew away from the two tigers as Lilly and her mother walked away to find Mowgli and the group.
After a couple of minutes Selena Khan was now thinking about where her son Chase is along with Mowgli and his group.
"Lilly, I forgot about Chase being missing too."
"So, do you know where he could be?"
"Lilly. I want you to go off on your own to find Chase, he could be anywhere in this jungle of India."
"But mother, I-I wasn't allowed to go off on my own for things like this."
"I know Lilly, but now that you're old enough and I can trust you very well. You're growing up just like your dad."
"Am I like you or dad?"
"You're like your father Lilly, and a bit of me too; now you will go see if Chase is in the Man Village, if not you'll be on your own to find him. Once you do find him you'll take him to me in the cave, if not keep him with you to find me."
"Ok mother."
"And I know I can trust you so much." Selena gave Lilly as hug as she let her daughter run off into the jungle to find Chase.
Back in the Man Village Ranjan's mother was looking for Chase but no one in the Man Village has seen him. Lilly, the daughter of Selena and Sher Khan was watching to find where her brother is.
"I'll have a couple people come with me to find Chase."
"He must have gone to find Mowgli, and the rest of the group in the jungle."
"Ha ah, now my little pest is in the jungle. Wait til my mother hears about this, haha he'll be in so much trouble for not coming back to us about the Man Village sooner."
At night everyone was getting ready for bed in the jungle when Mowgli was looking at the water, when his best friend Baloo came to sit beside Mowgli.
"Baloo, I would like to talk to you."
"What is it Mowgli?"
"A week ago Ranjan's father is wanting me to become leader of the Man Village since I'm the oldest." Mowgli sighed.
"I see, is that why you're all stressed out?"
"Yeah I am."
"But Mowgli, Ranjan's father will soon be no more for when his time comes. He's pushing you to be leader of the Man Village."
"But Baloo, when I become leader I'm scared that if I do, I wouldn't be able to be with you again."
"Let's take a walk to cool things down, and we'll talk some more." Baloo and Mowgli walked around the jungle so they can talk more about what Mowgli is going through that is stressing him out "Mowgli, when you become leader of the Man Village. That doesn't mean you can't see us again. You'll still be able to see me and your friends that live in the jungle."
"You mean I'll still see you and my friends who live here, when I become leader of the Man Village?"
"Yep, I just know it."
"Thanks Baloo, but what will happen if I say no to becoming leader?" Mowgli asked.
"Then everyone in the Man Village will have no one to keep them safe from danger, and the Man Village can be destroyed by any wild animal who wants to hurt them."
"How will I be able to do it?"
"All you need Mowgli are the Bare Necessities."
"Then hit it papa bear."
Then look for the Bare necessities, the simple Bare necessities; forget about your worries and your stress. I mean the, Bare necessities of mother nature's recipes to bring the Bare Necessities; of life.
Where I wonder, wherever I roam. I could be leader of my Man Village.
The bees are buzzing in the trees to make some honey just for me, you look under the rocks and plants take the ants at the fancy ants hey try a few.
"Thanks Baloo."
The Bare Necessities the life will come to you, they'll come to you.
"Baloo, maybe being leader of the Man Village won't be so bad after all."
"Maybe it won't, all you gotta do is give it a try and see if you like it."
"Hey man Baloo."
When you pick a paw paw, or a prickly pear. And if you pick a raw paw; next time beware. Don't pick any prickles that will get you to say no, well who would say you're not a leader when they see you around there. Do they have a clue?
The Bare Necessities, something will come to you; they'll come to you.
They'll come to me.
They'll come to you.
After the walk Baloo and Mowgli saw Shanti with everyone else in the spot that they'll sleep for the night.
"What's going on?"
"Hi Mowgli, we were all just talking about you becoming leader of the Man Village."
"Yeah, it will be great for when his time comes."
"It sure will be sooner or later Mowgli, we know you'll become a great leader of the Man Village. You'll keep everyone safe there."
"I sure will."
Meanwhile in the cave Selena Khan was napping til she woke up to see Lilly with Chase in her mouth, she put her brother down and looked at Selena.
"Mother, I found Chase."
"Chase! what is the matter with you? I tolled you just to go to the Man Village and come back with news, but no you didn't do that. You stayed there for a week and we were so worried about you out there all alone. But now you're in big trouble."
"But mother. Mowgli and the other people in the Man Village are keeping me safe, they're nice and..."
"You can never trust people in the Man Village Chse, they're evil. And they killed your father." Selena Khan was so angry she growled at her son.
"I'm sorry mother, they're friends with me and they're not hurting me."
"They're not friends with you, they're leading to into a trap so you can get us all killed!" Selena Khan growled "Lilly! take Chase to bed, and keep a eye on him so he doesn't run away."
"Ok mother I will."
