"Hey, Baggy, too bad you missed the action," Baloo smiled to the panther. "You should have seen how I made a sucker out of stripes with that left in his face. Boom, boom, I was giving him wham!. You know, we're some good sparring partners."
"You better believe it!" Mowgli smiled.
"Yes, sir!" Baloo smiled back before hugging the feral boy. "Nothing or nobody is ever gonna come between us again."
Mowgli then hugged Baloo until he heard a faint voice singing not too far away.
"My own home, My own home, My own home, My own home~" Shanti was heard singing as she soon went to get some water with Brick, Butch, and Boomer following her with eager smiles, trying to impress her with flowers, candy, and jewelry.
Mowgli soon ran off away from Baloo and came to see the singing up close. "Look! What's that?" he then asked.
"Oh, it's the Man Village." Bagheera told him.
"No, no," Mowgli said, pointing out to the girl. "I mean that."
"Forget about those, they ain't nothing but trouble." Baloo scoffed.
"The Man Village?!" Mike gasped.
"We did it, you guys," Cindy told the others. "We made it."
"And look!" Sledgehammer said. "It's the Rowdyruff Boys!"
Mowgli came out to see Shanti up close.
"Mowgli, wait a minute-" Baloo tried to stop the boy.
"Ah, Baloo, let him have a better look." Bagheera told him.
"We better get going too," Ellody added before looking to Baloo and Bagheera. "It was nice to meet you all."
"You guys are welcome to come back anytime." Baloo invited.
"Thank you," Mike replied. "We had a good time."
Shanti continued to sing to herself while the Boys kept watching her, pushing and shoving each other.
However, Shanti seemed interested in someone else as Mowgli soon splashed into the water which made her giggle to him. "Then I will have a handsome husband, And a daughter of my own, And I'll send her to fetch the water, I'll be cooking in the home~," she then sang as she carried her water in the pot, putting it on her head before dropping it so that it would roll to Mowgli. "Mmm-mmm, Mmm-mmm, Then I'll send her to fetch the water, I'll be cooking in my home~-Oh!"
"She did that on purpose!" Baloo complained.
"Obviously." Bagheera smiled.
Mowgli picked up the pot, fills it with water and holds for Shanti. Shanti looked at him and walks to the village, humming. Mowgli then carried the water out for her.
"Mowgli, come back, come back!" Baloo cried out.
"Go on, go on!" Bagheera urged.
Mowgli hesitated and then, after Shanti looked at him again and the two soon walked into the village together with Sledgehammer and the girls going after them so that they could reunite with their other friends in the Man Village.
"It's hopeless," Eddy frowned. "We will never find them!"
"Don't give up, Eddy; we will find them." Double D replied.
"You've been saying that forever ago!" Eddy told him. "I knew we couldn't trust Justin and Justine to go and find them, and now I bet they're even more lost."
Unknown to them, the others who had been missing, came out which made everyone except for Eddy gasp.
"Poor Mike is out there," Eddy frowned to himself. "This is all my fault. I should've gone out there to find her."
"Eddy..." Double D called.
"Are you seriously going to talk like that again, Eddy?" Mike asked, rolling her eyes.
"Wait a minute... That sounds like..." Eddy said before turning around. "Mike!" He then tackled Mike with a hug. "I'm so glad that you're okay! I'm so sorry for everything, please don't leave! Things are gonna be different from now on. Whenever we have a problem, we're going to solve it on our own!"
"Well, that's good to know," Mike said. "Now, Eddy, I want you to listen to me."
"This is gonna be great!" Eddy beamed.
"EDDY! Listen!" Mike told him.
"Let's get back home, and-" Eddy continued.
"EDDY, FOR ONCE, WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?!" Mike scolded him.
Eddy soon quieted himself down.
"Thank you..." Mike then said. "Now, as I was saying, I'm not going to leave CN City, but I'm going to stay in Nicktropolis until I decide to come back."
"...Is that really what you want?" Eddy asked, softly.
"Yes," Mike told him. "I know the first time I went to Nicktropolis was totally an accident, and there are still bullies and obstacles there, but... In Nicktropolis, no one knows he really well, except for maybe Lil. I can be myself and have fun there. It's like a break and relief whenever I go there for a visit, even if there are some issues. Hey, maybe you'll get to see me on TV."
"What makes you say that, Mike?" Ed asked.
"Lil sent me this Nick Magazine last week after our testing for finals," Mike said, bringing out a magazine which showed a teen soap opera like Dawson's Creek. "It's a series called Moody's Point. They're holding auditions for a new kid in town character, and I thought maybe I could try it out since I always thought acting was interesting."
"Well, if that's what you want, we won't stop you." Double D replied.
"I'm gonna miss you!" Dee Dee cried out as she hugged the tomboy while crying.
"I know you will, but you should all stay strong," Mike told them. "I'm gonna come back home for a while, but I'm gonna be gone."
"When will you come back?" June asked.
"Whenever I'm ready to come back," Mike said. "It's none of your faults though. Nicktropolis was always my home away from home when we did Cartoon Cartoon Fridays because of that little incident with Lu and Og."
"Which totally wasn't my fault!" Lu cried out. "Calling it now! That wasn't my fault! You know, Og, you saw, I didn't do it, right? Yeah, right!"
"You'll call us, right?" Ed asked Mike.
"Of course I will, big guy." Mike smiled.
Ed then pulled Mike into a hug, which she was used to by now, so she just put up with it.
"So, this is the village." Ashlyn said.
"Yes," Double D nodded. "The Seeonee Village."
"Oh, I'm so glad that you children are all right." Ms. Honeydew smiled to the missing students.
"I'm so sorry for not believing you!" Lightning cried out as he hugged his girlfriend instantly.
"Yeah, sorry, Ellody," Chicken said. "We should listen to youse next time."
"Yes, you should," Ellody replied. "Why does no one listen to the smart people whenever something bad is about to happen?"
"We were just having so much fun and we should've listened in the first place," Scott said. "So, are still cool?"
"Si, we are." Ellody smiled back.
"Great!" Scott said. "I mean it's awesome when you and Lightning, then me and Jade, and Chicken and Katrina all hang out together, like whenever we see Jade's Aunt Blanche."
"Erm... You're not gonna tell your uncle about this, right?" Lightning asked nervously.
"No, Lightning." Ellody chuckled.
"Good, 'cuz, uh, I don't wanna bother him." Lightning smiled innocently.
Ellody rolled her eyes from that, but she smiled back to her boyfriend.
Meshua looked over as she carried a basket of laundry, looking out to Mowgli. "Nathoo...?" she then mumbled as the feral boy looked so much like her older son, but unfortunately, he was not.
"Meshua, I found this boy alone in the jungle," Shanti told her mother's best friend. "I don't think he's from around here."
"Oh... I... I see..." Meshua then said as she looked out to Mowgli.
Mowgli smiled at the woman and waved to her. Meshua waved back, allowing him to come to her.
"Who's the kid in the diaper?" Eddy asked.
"It's called a loincloth and his name is Mowgli." Courtney told him.
"He was raised by wolves." Mike added.
"Is he related to you?" Justine asked.
"Very funny." Mike rolled her eyes with a smirk.
"If he's raised by wolves, then how come he's not a savage, walking around on four legs, and growling at everybody?" Eddy asked.
"Reasons." Mike said.
"Oh." Eddy blinked.
"And I have another question," Jo said before looking at a certain brunette girl. "Why is SHE here when all of this is all her fault?"
"I'm sorry," Courtney said out of guilt. "I know you don't like me, but I'm really sorry for hurting you."
"Oh... Gee... When you put it like that, I don't believe you!" Jo said softly before snapping at her.
"No, Jo, listen, she's serious," Justine told her girlfriend. "I know what Courtney's done in the past, but listen to her."
Courtney sighed, taking a deep breath and then began to explain everything to everybody. Jack didn't say anything, but he gave a firm look since he was one of the few teachers who knew how Courtney would be around other students to make herself look good. "And so, I left Kevin's gang when I realized how cruel they could be." she then concluded.
"Is that right?" Jo replied to Courtney. "Well, I'm keeping my eye on you."
"But don't you trust and believe me?" Courtney asked.
"Excuse me, but you've told me several times that Justine's cheating on me, so excuse me if I'm a little hesitant in the 'Welcome to the Howling Wolves' party." Jo told her.
"I'm with Jo on this one," Eddy agreed. "Sorry, Mike."
"It's cool, but just know that if it weren't for her, we wouldn't be here right now." Mike reassured.
"If you say so." Jo mumbled a bit.
Courtney frowned a bit.
"You should give them time to see if you really have changed," Jack told Courtney. "They'll all warm up eventually, but you haven't exactly been a nice girl lately, Courtney. I've also seen what you've done in the hallways to other students, such as sabotage."
"I know, Sensei Jack, it was wrong," Courtney sighed to him. "Especially when I had been hanging out with the wrong people."
"You used to be a very nice girl." Ms. Honeydew agreed with Jack.
"I will be the nice girl I used to be," Courtney vowed. "I promised."
"That's what we like to hear." Mike approved.
Sanjay soon peeked out to see Mowgli. Meshua then came to talk with her husband about Mowgli.
"What do you think's gonna happen?" Dee Dee asked.
"I think they might adopt Mowgli as their son." Mike replied.
"Oh, that would be good for Mowgli." Cindy approved.
"Hopefully." Mike added.
Later on, everyone was settling in on the village while Dexter, Maxwell, Og, Otto, and Double D continued to work on their distress signal.
"All right, we should be getting a signal by late tonight or early tomorrow,"Og told the others. "Then someone will find us and we can all go back home to the city."
"Good, now I must say this was a pretty good trip, except for maybe the ship getting destroyed." Cindy remarked.
"You're right on that, Cin." Mike agreed.
"I can't help but wonder where Kevin, Sarah, and the others ended up," Cindy said before looking to Eddy. "I know 'Who knows? Who cares?', but seriously."
"Mom is gonna ground me for not watching Baby Sister." Ed panicked.
"Ah, we'll worry about Princess Big Mouth and Shovelchin later," Eddy rolled his eyes. "So, uh, Mike, when a way comes back home, are you just gonna head down to Nicktropolis?"
"No, I'm gonna go home, get my stuff, tell Jen and Jamie what's going on, then I'm gonna be gone," Mike replied. "I'm sure they'll understand."
Soon enough, the others then sat down to relax and enjoy themselves. Meshua and Sanjay soon adopted Mowgli as their son and he became a new member of the Man Village.
"He is hooked." Baloo said as Mowgli didn't come back.
"Ah, it was inevitable Baloo," Bagheera told him. "The boy couldn't help himself. It was bound to happen. Mowgli is where he belongs now."
"Yeah. I guess you're right, but I still think he'd have made one swell bear," Baloo replied before he soon looked to the panther. "Well, come on, Baggy buddy. Let's get back to where we belong. And get with the beat!"
Baloo and Bagheera soon went off together, singing about The Bare Necessities.
"Goodbye, Baloo and Bagheera." Courtney whispered once she saw the bear and panther leaving back to the jungle.
They soon heard a horn blaring and looked over to see a new cruise ship where Dakota, Sam, Skarr, and Ms. Butterbean, waving to them.
"Hey, guys!" Dakota smiled. "We've found you!"
"It's Dakota!" Mike beamed once she saw who it was.
"Along with Principal Skarr and Ms. Butterbean!" Cindy added.
"Hey, guys!" Dakota called out. "Need a lift?"
Everyone cheered as they grabbed their luggage and headed to the cruise ship.
"Are you leaving then?" Meshua asked.
"Yes, we need to go home," Mike said. "Thanks for looking after my friends."
"You remind me of someone I've met a long time ago," Meshua smiled. "I hope you have a happy and healthy life like they did when their new child was born in The Ancient Ruins."
"That sounds like quite a story, but now, we must go." Mike smiled back as she soon came to join the others while Dakota and Sam helped them on board.
"Uh, no need to tell all your parents about this, right?" Skarr smiled nervously to the students.
The students then looked to each other and looked back, smirking.
"Oh, we won't," Eddy said. "As long as we have fun on this cruise ship."
"Deal." Skarr replied.
The students then cheered as they were having a relaxing and fun time on the cruise ship. The cruise ship soon left the Indian village as Mowgli became the newest member to Sanjay and Meshua's family.
As for Kevin and Sarah, well, let's just say; they were with the monkeys right now.
"What do we do?!" Sarah asked.
"How am I meant to know?!" Kevin replied.
The two soon yelled out as another adventure came to a close until next time.
The End
