"It's really hard to get around here since Kerchak hates humans, luckily he doesn't mind us since we protected ourselves from Sabor..." Patrick said.
"You mean you protected us from Sabor..." Emily smirked since he had the Wiccan Magic.
"You already know what I mean." Patrick smirked back.
Emily snickered before then sighing. "Hopefully this'll get Jessie's mind off of her little brother."
"I doubt it, but it's worth a shot..." Patrick agreed.
Jessica was at the water where the elephants were and couldn't seem to get her mind off about what happened to her baby brother. There was a large group of adult elephants together while the little calf looked scared and terrified about going into the water.
Jessica then came over to him to see him. "What's wrong, little guy?"
"Wh-Wh-What if this water is dangerous?" the elephant calf replied.
Jessica then looked shocked. She had never talked to another animal like this before. "Did you talk to me?"
"Well, yeah, didn't you talk to me?" the elephant calf replied.
"T-This is unbelievable, humans can't talk to animals." Jessica smiled.
"Human?" the elephant calf asked. "What's a human?"
"Um, I'm not sure how to explain this..." Jessica scratched her head. "Anyway, just try out the water..."
The elephant calf was still hesitant. "Mom, are you sure this water's sanitary?" he then asked before sticking a foot in briefly. "It looks questionable to me."
'Wow...' Jessica thought to herself.
"It's fine, honey!" the mother elephant called back.
"Yuck!" the elephant calf still hesitated and even pouted. "But what about bacteria?"
"Tantor, can't you see Mommy's talking?" the mother elephant scolded as she was with the other adult elephants.
"Just try the water." Jessica said.
Tantor sighed.
"Here, I'll join you..." Jessica sat on the ground and untied her shoes and took off her socks to join the elephant calf into the water.
"Thanks." Tantor smiled.
As Jessica was getting ready go in the water, a young boy around Jessica's age appeared to be swimming under the water. "Wait, is that Tarzan?" she then asked herself as she saw the young boy swimming.
"Who?" Tantor asked before gasping as he looked in the water and rushed over to warn the other elephants. "Watch out! There's something swimming! It's coming right at you!"
"Honey, Mommy's losing her patience." the mother elephant replied as her son tugged on her trunk to get her attention.
Jessica soon rushed over to Tarzan. The feral boy was trying to get a hair from one of the elephant's tails. Tantor tried to tell the other elephants what he saw and he thought Tarzan was a piranha.
"He's not a piranha!" Jessica told him before coming to Tarzan. "Tarzan, what are you doing?"
"I have to get a hair so I can hang out with Terk and her friends." Tarzan explained.
"Are you serious?" Jessica asked.
"That's what she said," Tarzan said. "She said I had to get an elephant hair after I caught up with her and the others up there..." he then pointed to where his adoptive cousin and the other gorilla kids were.
"TERK!" Jessica glared.
Up on the ledge...
Terk shivered.
"You okay, Terk?" one gorilla boy asked their tomboy friend.
"Yeah, just got a chill down my spine." Terk replied.
"WHEN I FIND YOU TERK, I AM GOING TO SO MAKE SURE YOU GET PUNISHED FOR THIS WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER!" Jessica's voice echoed.
Terk's eyes widened.
"What was that?" the other boy gorilla asked.
"Uh... Nothing..." Terk smiled nervously. "At least it wasn't Kerchak or Aunt Kala."
"Wait, wasn't that Jessica?" The second boy gorilla asked.
Terk and the boy gorillas looked down to see Jessica from down below.
"Tantor, for the last time, there are no piranhas in-" Tantor's mother started.
"MY BUTT!" a male elephant yelled out after something chomped on his tail.
"Tarzan, let go of his tail right now!" Jessica told him.
"I told you!" Tantor said to the adult elephants.
The elephants began to stampede as Tarzan grabbed onto one loose hair while they trampled and splashed the water.
"He's dead..." one gorilla said.
The elephants then started to charge through the jungle.
"WE'RE DEAD!" the boy gorillas and Terk then ran for their lives.
Jessica soon started to swim Tarzan back to land. The gorillas panicked once the elephants were loose.
"Jessie?! JESSIE!" Emily called out with Patrick.
"Don't worry, Tarzan, I've got you." Jessica said as she finally got to the land and began to try to wake up Tarzan.
"Jessica!" Patrick called, he smiled and held out his arms so she could jump into them, but then his eyes widened as Jessica ran and she had trampled over him to save him from the elephant stampede.
"You okay, Dad?" Jessica asked.
"Fine..." Patrick said weakly.
Jessica then lay Tarzan down.
Terk rushed over in worry. "Tarzan, buddy, buddy, come on, don't die on me!" she then panicked as the boy was not moving or breathing. "Don't die on me! You weren't supposed to do it!"
"Get away from there!" Tantor moved her with his trunk. "Don't you know a piranha can strip your flesh in seconds?"
"He's not a piranha!" Jessica told him.
"Yeah, he's a-" Terk was about to say.
Tarzan then coughed and woke up.
"He's alive... He's alive!" Terk cheered.
"Thank goodness," Jessica smiled before she grabbed Tarzan. "You nearly gave me and Terk a heart attack!"
"Yeah, are ya happy?!" Terk glared at her adoptive cousin.
"Uh-huh..." Tarzan replied as he took out a hair to show her.
"You... I don't believe it... You got the hair?" Terk smiled.
"He actually did it." Jessica said.
"Is this what this is all about? I got a whole tail of 'em!" Tantor scoffed about the hair craze before waving his tail to prove his point.
"Yes, we see that." Jessica said.
"Tarzan! Terkina!" the gorillas came over.
"Oh, no." Tarzan and Terk muttered.
"Who's that?" Tantor asked.
"My mom." Tarzan said.
"Tarzan!" the female gorilla who adopted Tarzan and raised him as her own came over.
"Hi." Tarzan waved nervously.
"Hi, Aunt Kala." Terk also waved nervously.
"Hi, Kala." Jessica smiled nervously.
"Oh, you scared me!" Kala came to Tarzan. "What happened?"
"Um, well, you see..." Jessica gulped.
"Well, I..." Tarzan started.
"Um, it's sort of a long, it's involved, because what happened, it was a weird-" Terk tried.
"What happened?" Kerchak snarled as he came over to the scene.
"It was my fault, Kerchak." Jessica spoke up taking the blame.
The others then looked to her. Jessica looked into the adult male gorilla's eyes.
"I-I was playing in the water trying to get my mind off of what happened to my baby brother." Jessica lied.
"Baby brother?" Terk and Tarzan wondered.
"You almost killed someone!" Kerchak glared to Jessica.
"I know, but it was an accident, don't blame Tarzan." Jessica tried not to cry.
"I'm sure it won't happen again." Kala said.
"Tarzan, you have a warning too..." Kerchak glared.
"He didn't do anything though..." Jessica spoke up softly.
"That's no excuse, Kala can't keep defending him." Kerchak replied sharply.
"Maybe, but if he didn't do anything, you shouldn't have to glare at him." Jessica said.
"He'll learn..." Kala tried.
"He'll never learn," Kerchak snarled. "You can't learn to be one of us."
"Because you never give him a chance." Kala frowned to her mate.
"Give him a chance? Kala, look at him!" Kerchak replied. "He will never be one of us!"
"Now you are just being unfair." Jessica said.
Tarzan then ran away from Kerchak's words.
"Tarzan!" Kala called out with a frown.
"Oh, now you've done it." Patrick said.
Kerchak roared loudly in his face.
"I have a wife." Patrick narrowed his eyes.
"As do I." Kerchak glared.
Emily narrowed her eyes. "You will not yell at my husband or daughter like this!"
"You should mind your own business!" Kerchak snarled.
Later that night, Tarzan couldn't sleep.
"Come here, Jessie..." Emily held her daughter.
"Mama, I wanna see Tarzan." Emily pouted.
"I know dear, but, I think Kala can help him." Emily said.
Jessica frowned.
"It's nice that you have a big heart though..." Emily hugged her daughter. "You were so good with your little brother."
"I know Atticus is still alive, Mama..." Jessica said.
"You do?" Emily asked.
"I just know it..." Jessica replied. "We must not be looking hard enough."
"Jessie, I'm sorry, but your brother is gone..." Patrick said.
"If we just try to look for him, guys, if we just try!" Jessica insisted.
"Okay, okay, Jessica when we get back to the main land, we'll start looking for your brother, no matter how long it takes." Emily said.
"Please..." Jessica begged.
"What if he's dead?" Patrick whispered to Emily.
"We just have to hope and pray for the best." Emily whispered back.
"Wait, it's been years since you've seen Tarzan like ever since you both were kids? We should get the whole family to the island." Oddball said.
"Oh, Oddball, I don't know..." Jessica said before yawning.
Oddball yawned back.
"Okay, it's time for bed, I have a big day tomorrow, but then we can play all day all week..." Jessica smiled to her puppy.
"Alright." Oddball yawned.
The two of them soon went to sleep. Unknown to anyone, the Fudo family was indeed going to be going to that jungle.
