Chapter 10

A/N: Probably my longest chapter yet, but I really wanted to get it right. After such a downer of a last chapter, I wanted to close out the year with a happy one as this is the last one of the year. And hopefully, I succeeded!

Anna had awoken herself especially early the next morning in a speedy fashion. She had decided to take Tarzan throughout the town to get to know him better and try to discuss yesterday's revelations. After what was shown, no one really said anything to Tarzan on the way back, as they didn't want to provoke him into another episode.

"But that was yesterday. Today's a new day." Anna thought to herself aloud. "Can't goof off now. I'm no longer the little one in this family." She looked at herself in the mirror and brought about a composure more in line with Elsa. "I've got to the polite. I've to to be proper. I've got to be-" Her train of thought was stopped as she heard a yell and soon landed face first onto the ground. She looked up to find Olaf trying to yodel but ending up in bursts of giggles.

"Olaf, what are you doing?" Anna asked as she tried not to laugh.

" Oh, sorry Anna. I was trying to be more like Tarzan. He's so cool and actiony and-"

" Ok, ok. Where is he, anyway?"

" Come on, I'll take you to him!" Olaf took Anna's hand and lead her to the town square.

Jane tried to contain the excitement of the children as Tarzan told experiences in the jungle. Anna sat down among the children and listened in to the story once she got there.

" My back was pinned to the wall by Sabor, as he clawed away trying to get me" Tarzan gave out an imitation of a leopard snarl. The children gasped and became more entrolled.

" He and I raced down to the floor of the jungle for my spear point and -." BANG Tarzan fell back behind a nearby wall.

" I then came out triumphant with my victory over Sabor to see the my family cheering for me."

" What did you next?" a child asked.

" Easy, I joined in. I grabbed her and I-"

" Ok, ok. That's more than enough." Jane butted in. "Besides, I think Princess Anna is waiting on you."

The children groaned and walked off slowly. "Promise us you'll tell the story of the leopard men and dinosaurs?"

" I will."*

The children's faces lighten up dramatically and ran off, waving good bye to Tarzan and Jane.

Anna gave off a small chuckle " Come one, I want to show you around the kingdom."

Tarzan gave a look to Jane, "You coming?"

"No, I want to finalize a few details with Elsa for the meeting tomorrow. I'll see you soon, love." Jane gave Tarzan a kiss and went back to the castle.

"So, where do we start?" Tarzan asked.

Anna cleared her throat and began to talk in her most dignified manner. "Well, I believe we should start at the harbor to exemplify-"

"Ok" Tarzan said as he threw Anna onto his back and quickly scaled up the nearest building. "Let's go!" While definitely out of element, he still was able to scale up sheer vertical faces with ease with all the speed of the nimblest monkey yet with the speed of cobra. Anna just held onto tightly, with whatever words she was going to say being lost to the wind.

Once at the top, Tarzan looked out into the fjord, its calm blue water caressing each ship in a secure grasp. He could see the rays of sun reflecting off the water, illuminating the nearby cottages in a light glow. He saw a mother benevolently watching her children as they played on the shore, letting out cheers of joy as they chased each other. As he swayed his head farther, the cool fjord melted in Tarzan's mind into a peaceful balmy lagoon. Elephants and hippos wallowed in the deep waters, where all the youngsters if his troop would gather and play. The many calls of birds rang out.

" I like fast, but that, that was REAL fast." Anna manage to speak out as she recovered from the rush.

" Are you ok?"

" Yeah, that was, was.. great! Talk about a mindful experience!"

" Yes, I can say the same for here, too. No wonder this was the first place to stop." For being so far away from his home, Tarzan realized how much this land's atmosphere was like his jungle home.

" Uh, yes, yes! Of course! I mean, being of high society, I know of all the fine points of my kingdom. There is a saying that we have for such occasions that's-"

Anna's b.s'd train of thought was interrupted as she felt being lifted back onto Tarzan's shoulders, who was reading to make a massive leap for their next destination.

" Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

" Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Tarzan called back, thinking it was Anna's saying.

The rest of the day was spent exploring the town, with Tarzan making new discoveries at every turn. He learned a lot about the kingdom of Arendelle and its people, like how Oaken was the best dealer in the kingdom, how Kristoff was the only one who could "talk" with Sven and how a snowman could love a good tan. Anna also learned a lot, like how Tarzan could become a great ice skater thanks to years tree surfing and a great groomer for hair (though he with unusual aside of disappointment when finding nothing in it). She tried her best to keep a mature composer, but quickly gave in and soon the two were bounding throughout the town like little kids who hadn't skipped a beat. Anna was surprised how underneath a seemingly stoic image, Tarzan had all the curiosity and fun spirit that she did. The two went on and on, trading stories about all the mischief they got into as children.

Finally, the rested on top of the castle's roof in the evening, looking over the whole kingdom.

" Can I ask you something, Anna?" Tarzan asked

"Fire away, little bro."

"Why were you acting funny this morning?"

"Wacha you talking about?"

"You were like a zebra trying to hide its stripes. How come you were like the way you are now?"

"I guess I wanted to be more mature. I mean, Elsa's always been more reasonable and collected than me and I just thought you needed me to be like that, too."

"All I need is for you to be you. "

Tarzan was certainly a man of few words, but boy did he say strong ones.

¨ Besides, she sounds more like this." He went into a humorous proper pose and perfectly began to imitate Elsa's voice. ¨Come, come now Anna. You mustn't be late now. It is not proper of high society.¨

Anna started to laugh her butt off at the hilarious scene before her. " Oh, like you're perfect." She crouched over, puffing her chest out and trying to walk on all fours before causing a cramp.

Tarzan just rolled his eyes, and suddenly fixed to the sky. A faint tint of blue green danced delicately against the orange sky.

" Oh, look at that. The sky's awake." Anna said. She suddenly remembered what her intent was that day, to try and reach Tarzan after the vision. " You know, they're not gone. Not really. I like to think that everyone gets the chance to be up there. The sky being awake is just a sign of them watching over us."

Tarzan let the words sink in, letting them put his troubled emotions at ease. " I, I lost my other father too. He never really took me in until he left. I just wish I could say some more to him."

" What was his name?"

" Kerchak."

Anna looked back up to the sky "Well, thanks Kerchak. Your son loves you, and I'm sure you do to." She rubbed her eyes, clearly exhausted from today. " Well, we should probably go back now. Gotta get some beauty sleep."

Tarzan picked up his sleepy sister in his arms and proceeded to go back down.

" By the way, Kerchak." Anna muttered as she drifted into sleep " thanks for looking out for Tarzan for all these years. I always wanted to have a brother, and now I got the best."

* Author's Note: In both the original novels and in the Disney follow up animated series, Tarzan did actually fight a cult of leopard men and went to the earth's core and fought dinosaurs. No, I am not making this up, this all happened. Hope you all are enjoying the story, and I really would appreciate comments and suggestions. It'll give me a better point to see what you all want and if I should change anything. So stay tuned!
