"It sounds like the circus is in town." Patch commented on the way back to camp.
"Yeah, only this sounds a little more crazy." Atticus said.
Tarzan saw a bunch of gorillas and one elephant before he ran over to them and they looked just as happy to see them.
"They must be his friends." Patch smiled.
"Terk! Tantor!" Jessica smiled to one of the gorillas and the elephant.
"Gorillas!" Jane gasped until Tarzan and Jessica rushed over to see the elephant and the gorillas.
"They seem friendly." Atticus smiled.
"He's one of them..." Jane also smiled as she saw that Tarzan was like one of the animals despite being a human like her. She soon started to walk up to them.
Terk and the other gorillas looked a little wary to see Jane as it was different for her than with Tarzan and Jessica.
"It's okay..." Jessica soothed Terk. "It's my little brother, his dog, and our friend."
"Hello." Atticus greeted with a smile.
Terk came up to Atticus and touched his hands.
"Such a pretty girl..." Atticus smiled.
Terk then tackled Atticus.
"Uh, easy with the girly girl stuff around Terk, Atticus." Jessica chuckled sheepishly.
"Let me guess, she's more of a tomboyish female gorilla, right?" Atticus asked.
Jessica nodded.
"Oops, sorry, Terk..." Atticus then said in ape language.
"Ya better be if ya know what's good for ya!" Terk scoffed before she soon went up to Jane to do the same thing with her hand.
Patch soon sensed someone coming right up behind them. There was a bigger male gorilla.
"Oh, my..." Jane started until Kerchak roared loudly and viciously.
"K-Kerchak." Jessica gulped.
Jane whimpered as she was face-to-face with a very dangerous gorilla and where she used a ladle as her way of protection. Kerchak snarled as she sniffed Jane and glared at the others. Kala and the other female gorillas were coming over to see what was going on. They soon heard Professor Porter's, Clayton's, Patrick's, and Emily's voices calling out for them. Kala took Tarzan away from the campsite as Tantor grabbed Terk in his trunk.
"Jane? Oh, Jane!" Professor Porter ran toward his daughter and hugged her. "Thank heavens."
"Good heavens, what happened?" Clayton asked as he saw the mess.
"Oh, Atticus, what happened?" Emily hugged Atticus and showered him with kisses.
"Let's just say we met Tarzan and his gorilla family." Atticus said.
"Tarzan?" Emily smiled. "You met Tarzan?"
"Tarzan?" Professor Porter and Clayton asked curiously.
"Tarzan... The Ape Man..." Jane smiled.
"He was amazing." Patch said.
"Aw, I missed it!" Darla complained before folding her arms.
"It's okay, Darla, we still have time until the ship comes for London." Emily soothed the little girl.
"That's right." Patrick nodded.
"Hmm..." Darla hummed in thought.
Later that night, they all got comfortable as the gorillas had a meeting about the humans while Emily was telling Darla the story about Princess Irene and her cat Turnip as they met a boy named Curdy. "Ooh." She smiled.
"She also meets an ancestor of hers..." Emily smiled back. "Who knows? Maybe you'll meet Princess Irene too."
"I would love that." Darla nodded to her adoptive mother.
"Maybe someday." Emily smiled.
Darla giggled before she fell asleep. The two then told each other good night as everyone went to sleep. And where it was a peaceful sleep for all of them. Even though Kerchak didn't wish to give the humans any chances.
The next morning, Jane was telling her father all about Tarzan and even sketched him on their chalkboard and where Atticus and the others joined them.
"Extraordinary..." Professor Porter sounded impressed.
"He sure was." Atticus said.
"It was amazing!" Jane beamed before copying Tarzan's movements. "He'd bend his elbows out like this, and then he walks like this."
"Oh, I see!" Professor Porter chuckled as he joined her in amusement. "Like Aunt Isabel."
"Aunt Isabel?" Darla asked, confused.
The others chuckled in amusement of the Porters. Clayton groaned and rolled his eyes as he saw them while shaving himself.
"What a discovery." Darla said.
"Indeed!" Professor Porter agreed with her. "A man with no language, no human behavior..."
"And no respect for personal boundaries." Jane added.
"Sorry about that, Jane, but that's just how Kala raised him." Jessica told her friend.
"Who?" Jane asked.
"Kala," Jessica repeated. "Tarzan's mother."
"He was staring at me..." Jane noted before she went back to sketching. "And his eyes were intense... And focused... And... I've never seen such eyes."
Jessica smirked as she saw the look in Jane's eyes.
"Oh, shall I leave you and the blackboard alone for a moment?" Professor Porter teased his daughter.
"Guys, stop it," Jane replied. "The point is, think of what we could learn from him. We must find him."
"That might be a bit of a problem." Atticus said.
Clayton groaned as he walked over. "Professor, you are here to find gorillas, not indulge in some girlish fantasy."
"He's not a fantasy." Jessica defended.
"Yes, I didn't imagine him," Jane glared at Clayton. "Tarzan is-"
Tarzan suddenly dropped down between them.
"Real." Jane then finished with a satisfied smirk.
"Ha!" Jessica smirked.
"I-I-I-It's him!" Professor Porter gasped.
Tarzan smiled up to Jane as he was most happy to see her again.
Atticus soon saw Clayton getting his gun. "Don't shoot!" He then rushed over and moved the gun, but the shot went off in the sky.
"Clayton." Tarzan grinned.
"Huh?" Patrick asked out of confusion.
"Clayton!" Tarzan repeated.
"Have we met?" Clayton asked out of confusion.
"He thinks your name is the sound of a gunshot." Atticus told him.
"Jane." Tarzan came up to the English girl with a smile.
"Yes, hello, Tarzan." Jane smiled nervously as he touched her hair.
"I see what you mean about those personal boundaries." Professor Porter chuckled to his daughter.
Tarzan soon went up to Clayton to copy his movement.
"Look at him, Jane," Professor Porter felt impressed. "Moves like an ape, but looks like a man. He could be the missing link."
"Or our link to the gorillas." Clayton smirked to the older man.
"Oh, yes." Professor Porter smiled innocently.
Clayton cleared his throat and came up to the feral man. "Where are the gorillas?" he then asked, expecting an answer straight away.
Tarzan then played with his mustache in response.
"GO-RI-LAS!" Clayton glared.
"GO-RI-LAS!" Tarzan repeated in amusement.
"Sorry, Mr. Clayton, he can't understand English." Atticus said.
"Then I'll make him understand," Clayton said as he wiped the sketch off of the board and made a crude drawing of a gorilla. "If I can teach a parrot to sing 'God Save the Queen', I can certainly teach this savage a thing or two," he then stepped aside to show Tarzan the picture. "Gorilla."
"Gorilla..." Tarzan repeated as he took the chalk.
"Oh, no, he thinks 'gorilla' is what we call chalk." Darla groaned as she saw the look in Tarzan's eyes.
Tarzan soon scribbled on the chalkboard and soon enough, Clayton and Tarzan began to argue until Jane took the chalk away from the feral man.
"Mr. Clayton, I think Jessica's family and I will take it from here." Jane smirked.
And so it began.
Atticus was on the phone with Cherry until they would start human lessons for Tarzan and began to get concerned as she was talking about something called Genome Warriors and peanut people. "Oh, my..." he said in worry for his best friend.
"Ready, Atticus?" Jessica said as she held some popcorn. "Jane's gonna show us some slides to show Tarzan what other humans are like."
"Sure thing." Atticus smiled before he hung up on his best friend who was visiting The Proud Family.
"Alright, let's get this started." Emily said.
