Chapter 8: Sneak Peak II

Many times, Sora has taken the time to fondly reminisce of Deep Jungle, the vibrant wooded world which mysteriously never beckoned a return trip. Well, there's really no mystery; neither the Disney Company nor Square Enix wished to be sued for all they had, so long ago, they decided to enshroud that world's true location in secrecy. However, the true mystery pertains to why Sora remembers that place so fondly. After all, he and Donald had gotten into it before crashing their ship, resulting in their forced separation. Then, he'd been attacked by a cheetah. And the next thing he knew, he got literally shot at by some sexually frustrated Englishman with a crooked mustache—if anything, that place should have been emotionally scarring. But then again, chapter seven should clear up any confusion, like, clear it right up.

Rubbing an ice cube on his neck, Sora sighed inside his dark room, "Maaan…"

-Enter Flashback-

After sealing the keyhole, Sora and co. hiked back to the encampment. Once there, the globetrotting Keyblade wielder noticed Tarzan trying to get his attention.

"Hey, what's up, Tarzan?" Sora said, attempting to read sign language.

"Oo, oo, ah, oo," Tarzan started. Doing strange monkey gestures, he spoke a little clearer, "Sora, Tarzan, oo, oo, ah, oo!"

Sora drew a blank. "What does that mean? Uh, do you wanna shake hands again?"

"Sora, Tarzan—like brothers!" he clarified. Excitedly, he jumped up and down, saying, "Tarzan teach, Sora learn!"

"Oh!" Sora shrugged with a smile. "I guess we have been through a lot already. What are you gonna teach me?"

"Tarzan help Sora to be cool!"

"…What?"

Suddenly, Donald called over, "C'mon! Let's get goin', Sora!"

"Yeah, hold on. Tarzan wants to make me…cool?"

Jumping around, Tarzan gleefully shouted, "OO-OO! Sora go with Tarzan!"

What followed was Donald and Goofy staring in confusion as Sora was whisked away. The man of apes brought himself and his new mentee to a different section of the jungle, a place the boy had never been. The whole time, the jungle man kept ooing and ahing excitedly, desperately trying not to spoil the surprise.

Bothered by all the brute-force secrecy, Sora huffed, "Seriously, what are you tryna show me? And where are we?"

Slapping a hand over his "little brother's" mouth, Tarzan hushed him, "Shhh! Quiet, Sora!"

Venturing just a few meters further, Sora and Tarzan entered a dense throng of bushes, instantly terrifying the Keyblader. He whispered nervously, "Oh, no—not bushes!"

"Shhh-shhhhhh!'"

Crouching within the bushes, they heard water rushing somewhere below. Poking both their heads out, they overlooked a nearby waterfall.

"Yep, still confused, Tarzan," Sora reported.

Tarzan put his hand up, "Wait…"

Sora sighed. Then, behold, Jane arrived at the waterfall, where she stripped down and began bathing.

"Whaaaaa…?" Sora said that.

"Shhh!" Tarzan shushed with a smile. "See? Tarzan told Sora Tarzan cool make…Sora…uh…Tarzan lost train of thought."

"Oh, my god…" Sora whispered. "I-I don't think we should be here!"

"No, Sora!" Tarzan chastised. "We cannot get closer!"

"That's not what I meant!" Sora grumbled. He was unable to tear his gaze away from Jane's smokin' hot form. He'd seen naked ladies before in magazines and whatnot, but never this close in person. Especially not one so physically fit and…curvy.

Anyway, Jane totally washed her ankles, and Sora just about lost his mind until he went galloping in the opposite direction, exiting the bushes with unrivaled quickness. Puzzled, Tarzan waddled after him, though his attention was a little divided.

Sora ran all the way back to the encampment, stopping just before Donald and Goofy.

"There you are! We need to keep a leash on you, kiddo!" said Donald.

Taking note of Sora's state of disarray, Goofy remarked, "Uh-oh! You look like you're gonna faint again, Sora!"

"Let's just get in the ship and go, guys," the boy said, eyes looking like Bill Miller dinner plates.

Goofy asked, "Well, didja say goodbye to everyone?"

Donald asked, "Where's Tarzan and Jane?"

Sora lied on the spot, "Oh, they're talking to the gorillas. Didn't wanna bother 'em. Let's blast off!"

However, Goofy revealed, "We're almost ready fly. We're just waitin' for the A.C. to kick in."

Donald added, "Shouldn't take more than a minute."

Sora heard ruffling from the nearby satanic hippo's lagoon. Shakily, he questioned, "Who needs A.C.? Let's tough it out in the humidity some more…!"

"…It's so nice of you to escort me back to the camp," said Jane, walking with Tarzan. "Who knows what kind of wicked creatures would ambush me."

Brashly shaking his head, the ape-man stated, "Tarzan no escort. Tarzan help Sora to be cool."

Beaming, Goofy greeted them, "Hey! We were looking for you guys!"

Also beaming, Donald added, "Yeah, we wanted to say goodbye before leaving!"

Jane said, "Oh, my! That's awfully sweet of you!"

"Yep!" said Sora, facing the completely opposite direction. "Can't wait for next time!"

Tarzan threw a rock at Sora's back, causing him to turn around irritably. After doing so, nothing protected his virgin eyes from Jane in a damp towel. And while he leveled up his poker face, he noticed the anthropomorphic animals beside him seemed to be mostly unaffected by the solar levels of sexiness.

"Welp, thanks again for helpin' us find that keyhole!" Goofy thanked.

"We couldn't've done it without ya…probably," said Donald.

Staring dead-ahead, Sora said, "Yep, thanks for the keyhole."

Jane said, "We hope to see you three again. I've honestly never met anyone like you." She seemed to be looking directly at Sora while saying that; he couldn't tell; his Focus gauge was draining at a rapid pace. "May your journey be a safe one. And don't be afraid to come back some time. We'd love to have you around for more romps through our little paradise!"

Not hearing one word, Sora replied, "Totally." He was on the verge of learning x-ray vision.

Donald reported, "A.C.'s working! See ya guys!"

Jane whipped her hair back once, saying, "Bye Goofy, Donald…and you too, Sora!" She winked and blew a kiss at the Keyblade's Chosen One.

Flabbergasted, the young-boy uttered, "A-heh-heh-heh-yep…"

Suddenly, the Gummi ship beamed all three of them up to the cockpit, taking them back to outer space. While watching his otherworldly comrades disappear in a beam of light, Tarzan let out his trademark jungle-roar, "OOOOOAAAAOOOOOAAAAOOOOOooooo!"

Finally back in the ship, Sora blurted out, "I think I left something!"

"Left what?" Donald asked.

"Nothing, let's go…" He dared not to weep.
