Part 2: The Transformation

Chapter 29

"Under the Stars"

In the nearly five days since their marriage, a lot had happened to Tarzan and Jane on their honeymoon and while it mostly involved Tarzan teaching Jane how to hunt for food and take Elephant hairs off of Elephants, it gave them a chance to learn even more about each other. Tarzan had taught Jane how to live life in the jungle the same way as when she taught him the human culture. He taught her how to survive in the jungle and was fascinated by her when she started to transform from the stuffy woman that she was from England to a free spirited jungle woman that was now free to explore her own world outside of her own.

Now, their honeymoon was coming to an end and Tarzan remembered what Archimedes had told him about what married couples do traditionally on their last night. So, on the second to last night of their honeymoon, he and Jane laid out on the beach just outside of the tree house where just a short time earlier, Jane was once offshore going back to England to resume her normal English life going farther and farther away from the jungles. It was only with Archimedes' encouragement that she decided to jump off the boat and swim back to shore and thus, started her new life with Tarzan.

"Is Jane happy that the honeymoon is over?" asked Tarzan, much to Jane's shocked.

"Tarzan," she remarked. "The only thing I am happy to see is you enjoying this honeymoon just as much as me. It seemed that we have learned so much from each other in this short period of time than most people have."

Tarzan realized that Jane was right as she taught him about human culture as much as he taught her about jungle culture. However, Tarzan knew that he nearly lost the mate of his dreams by his own doing when he had her take part in a Gorilla custom that only Terk had taught him. He thought to himself about talking to Terk about her reckless tradition as soon as the honeymoon was over.

"If Jane is happy," replied Tarzan. "Then Tarzan is happy."

"Actually, Tarzan," she said. "I don't know if my father had told you, but we are nearing the end of our honeymoon and traditionally, most couples get dressed up for a night of dinner and dancing and would you be all right if you wore something nice tomorrow?"

Tarzan began to feel a small surge coming up his system and he felt his groin start to tingle a little bit upon hearing those words. He would have to wear a suit again, which was uncomfortable to say the least, but he would do anything for Jane, even if it was out of his comfort zone. Plus, he loved to see Jane in her yellow dress because it was that dress she wore the day that they met each other for the first time. So, he nodded that he would while at the same time, he tried to hide the surge of his lust for Jane.

"Can Jane wear yellow thing tomorrow?" he asked, referring to Jane's best outfit.

"If you mean my yellow dress," said Jane. "Then, yes I may, although I may need extra time to get ready. Women have a tendency to worry about their looks more than men. You know how it is."

So, with their wardrobe for their last night planned, Tarzan and Jane continued to stare out at the stars, but Jane began to notice the stick growing inside of Tarzan's loincloth.

"Goodness Gracious, Tarzan," she gasped, jumping to her feet. "Please control yourself!"

Tarzan got up and tried desperately to control himself, even running into the cold water to calm himself down. After a while, he felt better and came back out of the water.

"Tarzan is sorry, Jane," he apologized, walking towards her. "I can't control myself sometimes."

"Oh, it's all right," she sighed, lying herself back on the sand. "I've been getting the same feelings around you, I guess. I think you and I may be having our bodies react to our presence whenever we are around each other. Perhaps my father can teach you what we call 'The Birds and the Bees.' But, let's not worry about that tonight. We are on our honeymoon after all."

The more that Tarzan and Jane looked at each other, the more lust that they began to feel for one another. While they both felt like making love right there on the beach, they couldn't. Tarzan could see that Jane was a sensitive creature and she had every right to sometimes react the way she did on this night. Tarzan could learn about 'the birds and the bees' and he would be willing to do anything to please his mate. He put her through something risky and now Jane had the right to put him through something risky, but it would be in a good way to an extent.

"Yes," said Tarzan. "We are on our honeymoon and I am happy that Jane is here with me and not in England."

Jane giggled slightly, but a worried feeling was billowing up inside her, for as they continued to gaze at the stars in Africa, Captain Gerard had just returned to London and told Jane and Archimedes' friends that they were lost in the jungles forever and Eleanor, Greenley and Hazel knew Jane was in trouble and began to make arrangements to come to Africa and rescue her from Tarzan, although they didn't realize that Jane had married the savage wild man.

At the same time, Bobby was told about Jane and was upset by the news so much that he called off their engagement. However, he began to get a sense of maybe Jane was really alive and only living in Africa to get away from him. He then began to count the days that Jane would return to him and kill the savage wild man that she had chosen to be with instead of him.

Meanwhile, Jane and Tarzan made their way back to the tree house where their honeymoon was about to come to an end in a very mystique manner…
