A couple minutes later Shanti was just waking up as she came face to face with Mowgli.

Shanti: Oh my head. What the heck just happened? I dreamed i saw a sloth bear and a black panther talking to me.

As Mowgli picked her up Shanti saw Baloo and Bagheera.

Shanti: Oh this is really trippy.

Baloo: You better believe it.

Shanti's jaw dropped when she saw Baloo talking and then she got worried and started panicking.

Bagheera: Oh no Baloo now you've done it.

Baloo: Hey Mowgli. Is she feeling all right?

Shanti was now getting even more worried when she heard Bagheera talked.

Bagheera: Oh my. Oh my. Baloo I think we've both done it this time!

Shanti then screamed in terror and Baloo and Bagheera screamed as well. The three of them screamed so very loudly all the animals in the jungle heard it and some birds flew off scared and even Mowgli got startled by their screams.

Soon Shanti got up and started hyperventilating quickly in fear.

Shanti: Oh my God. Oh my God. It's probably just my imagination acting all up. It's just my imagination.

Baloo: Hey princess? Are you okay?

Shanti: Shut up! You stop talking! And that goes to you too Mr. Midnight!

Bagheera: Pardon me?

Mowgli: Hey Shanti! Calm down. It's okay. My friends didn't mean to scare you. They're not gonna hurt you or eat you.

Shanti: How can you tell they don't scare and eat you?

Mowgli: Because the black panther who's named Bagheera is my friend and he's also my mentor and watches out for me and protects me from danger. And the bear named Baloo saved me from a giant green snake and he became my friend. So they're both my best friends. And they're friendly. And besides they're part of my family.

Shanti: Oh so you're family are animals. What ever happened to your real human mother and father?

Mowgli: I'm not sure what happened to my mother. But my father got killed by Shere Khan.

Shanti: Oh right. Right. Your father got killed by the tiger. How long have your two animal friends talked?

Baloo: We've always been talking. Ever since we were cubs.

Bagheera: Baloo's right. We always talked since we both met as cubs.

Baloo: When we were cubs we actually played tag and we even wrestled with each other. But it was very surprising when the other animals saw us wrestle. In fact our mothers were fine with it.

Bagheera: Yes we did. And we had fun times.

Shanti: But what about the tiger? Why did he hate humans and wanted to kill Mowgli?

Baloo: Well when Shere Khan was a tiger cub he was like a friend to us.

Bagheera: Yes he was. But back then Shere Khan was a bully to us. And he never wanted to play with us. And he hated humans so much because he had a mother with one brother and one sister. But on one night some hunters killed his mother. And his brother was taken to a zoo and his sister was taken to a circus. And was alone sad and angry all in the same time. And ever since then he started hating humans because of what they did to his family. And one night he saw some people in a cave using the red flower and when he saw Mowgli's father he killed him and he used the flaming torch to burn his face. And that's when I found Mowgli when he was just a little toddler. And so i took him to the wolf pack but Shere Khan wanted to kill him so Baloo and I had to send him to the village where he'd be safe. But eventually we attacked the tiger and he died in the burning fire.

Shanti: Wow. That was a very interesting story. Mowgli I'm so sorry that tiger killed your father.

Mowgli: It's all right. I'm very lucky to have my two friends by my side.

Suddenly there was some rustling in the bushes.

Bagheera: Someone's coming!

Baloo: Come on Mowg. Let's amscray!

Shanti: Will i ever see you again Mowgli?

Mowgli: Don't worry. I'll be back soon.

Soon Mowgli Baloo and Bagheera dashed off into the bushes. And Shanti saw her mother Sundar then Ranjan and his mother Messua and Buldeo return.

Sundar: Shanti darling. We finally found you. Are you hurt?

Shanti: No mom. I'm not hurt. I'm actually fine. While I was lost i was chased by a pack of man eating Jackals who were planning to eat me and one almost took my backpack. But then I just met the most handsome and most bravest boy ever. Mowgli The Jungle Wolf Boy.

Sundar: Mowgli? Who's he?

Shanti: He's a boy who's my age and he's so heroic. And he has friends.

Sundar: Who are his friends?

Shanti: A sloth bear and a black panther. But they're just his imaginary friends.

Sundar: Imaginary friends? That's very sweet. When can we meet him?

Shanti: He said he and his imaginary friends will be back sometime. I'm starting to love him.

Buldeo: What about your boyfriend?

Shanti: Let Farhan be with a girl who's ugly. I got my eyes focused on the real guy who's mine.
