It was morning and the sun was already at it's highest in the sky. Kenji was with Tantor and Terk as they were exploring the jungle, they were near a part of the river where they could see the waterfall at a closer distance.

"I think Kenji's feeling better after what happened before." said Terk.

"I see it too, a little bit of family love and support works everytime." said Tantor.

They stopped and saw the waterfall from a closer distance and it looked beautiful from the sight, even Kenji got closer with them and saw it too.

"I've never seen a waterfall up close before." said Kenji looking amazed.

"You never saw a waterfall before?" said Tantor surprised.

"Well, in human civilization we don't have flowing rivers around a city or near a human's home, it's all hard and smooth ground there and when we need water, we either got it bottled in our own homes, filtered and clean and safe to drink. And we even have something in human's homes to make sure we can have clean and running water in their homes so we can drink it, use it to clean things and to bathe with." said Kenji as he explained.

They seemed to understand what Kenji told them as he seemed to know how to make sure they can understand what he tells them since Terk and Tantor never lived in human civilization.

"So humans don't lick themselves clean?" said Terk.

"Humans don't lick themselves clean, they use water to wet themselves and got something to scrub themselves clean, which they use with their hands." explained Kenji.

"I guess humans and animals bathe differently, Jane always said that humans have a different method of bathing but I never knew that was how they did it." said Tantor as he understood.

Kenji knew that Jane has told Terk and Tantor a few things about humans, human civilization and more but he knew that there's only so much they can understand without something breaking it down for them. Suddenly, a loud fart was heard and it was a long one that took a while to end. They all smiled and giggled.

"Did you cut one, Kenji?" joked Tantor with a little laugh.

"That wasn't Kenji." laughed Terk.

The three of them found the sound of farting to be rather humorous. Kenji knew it was funny but he suddenly saw someone nearby, he only glimpsed who ever it was briefly. As Terk and Tantor were laughing, Kenji walked off to find out who it was that he just saw. He followed who ever it was a little further down the river and he eventually stopped, seeing that he lost who ever it was.

"I could've sworn I saw someone watching us." said Kenji.

He suddenly heard rustling sounds from nearby but didn't see where it was coming from. Kenji wondered if it was a predator or if it was just someone he knew trying to pull a joke on him.

"Anyone there?" called out Kenji.

Kenji saw no one and heard the rustling disappear, he still kept his guard up but once he turned around, he saw something or someone standing in front of him now. It was a large and beautiful female elephant.

"You called?" said the female elephant.

Kenji stood there, stairing at the female elephant and figured out it was her he saw.

"Were you following me and trying to take a look at my big butt?" she said cracking a joke.

"I wasn't stairing at your butt, I was seeing a glimpse of you and wondered if it was someone we didn't know or if one of the gorillas was just trying to pull our legs." said Kenji as he blushed.

"I'm just kidding, I know humans are not that way with elephants." said the female elephant gigging with a grin. "I'm Dania."

"I'm Kenji." said Kenji as he introduced himself.

Dania used her long, thick, wide and large trunk to reach out and place it on one of Kenji's shoulders, making him feel a bit surprised but he knew that Dania was probably just being affectionate.

"What brings you to the jungle?" asked Dania with a wink.

"I've settled into the jungle and I'm living out here now." said Kenji blushing deeper.

"All by yourself?" said Dania wrapping her trunk around his shoulders like it was a scarf.

"Not by myself, I'm with people." said Kenji as he was starting to feel a bit awkward but he was doing his best to keep his cool.

Dania was a beautiful female elephant from the looks of it and she was getting closer to Kenji as she was giggling with a grin, she was showing signs of either flirting or being affectionate, Kenji didn't know which it was she was doing more of.

"Dania, are you hitting on me?" said Kenji.

Dania suddenly stopped, she blushed from hearing him ask that as she knew he was right but it did help her snap back to reality.

"A little bit, I got a little carried away, when I see a cute face from a male, I become a little bit flirty or too much flirting." said Dania admitting a flaw.

Kenji understood that a female like Dania had a weakness for cute faces and he held no judgment over her for it. But suddenly, Dania wrapped her huge trunk around Kenji's body and hugged him with it, her grip on him was firm but a bit tight as she held him closely to her like she was giving him a bear hug.

"But sometimes I can't help myself." said Dania with a grin.

"Dania, your crushing me, too tight, too tight." said Kenji weakly.

"Whoops, sorry about that." said Dania as she loosened her grip.

Dania released her grip on Kenji and unwrapped her trunk from his body. She just couldn't keep herself off him as if she found a mate.

"So has any girls out there taken an interest in you, any of them try to snatch you up?" asked Dania winking at him.

"It's complicated." said Kenji as he jut couldn't stop blushing.

"Maybe you need some sugar from a big and beautiful elephant." said Dania as she had the urge to kiss him.

"What's going on over here?" came a familiar voice.

Both Kenji and Dania turned to see Terk and Tantor standing next to them and Kenji felt a bit relieved to see them. Dania, Terk and Tantor's faces turned into a look of seriousness.

"Terk, Tantor." said Dania as this was an awkward moment.

"Dania." said Terk and Tantor in unison.

Kenji was a bit surprised to learn they all know each other but he was under the impression that they did not like each other.

"You guys know each other?" said Kenji.

"Dania used to be my girl friend but she still seems to need to learn how to be more compassionate towards others." said Tantor sounding stern.

"I see you and that loud mouth Terk are still friends." said Dania sounding annoyed.

"At least I'm not a control freak." said Terk annoyed.

Kenji knew that a problem was about to come up, he could see it in their eyes and on their faces, it seems as if he has seen this kind of situation before but it was usually if a couple needed marriage counseling.

"Let me guess, Tantor fell in love with Dania, they hit off, but as Tantor wanted to make sure he could spend time with Terk and Dania disliked Terk for a few reasons. Dania wanted Tantor to choose between her or Terk, Tantor didn't want to hurt either of them but felt pressured, Terk and Tantor worked things out after a falling out, Dania wanted Tantor to be his boyfriend but she didn't want him to spend time with his friend Terk so Tantor knew that Dania wasn't the girl for him and denied her and Dania left, storming off angrily and since than, Dania disliked both Terk and Tantor and both Tantor and Terk figured that Dania was not the kind of person to hang around with?" said Kenji as he explained it and he guessed the truth.

This left Terk, Tantor and Dania a bit surprised as Kenji guessed the truth. Dania was a bit amazed that Kenji explained it without being harsh and Terk and Tantor were a bit amazed that Kenji understood the situation.

"Uhhhhhh." they all said nervously.

"Okay, the three of you are going to listen to me." said Kenji as he was instructing them.

Kenji took a deep breath and let it out before he spoke.

"Dania, I know you probably want to have a boyfriend but in order to have a healthy relationship with one, you need to let the boyfriend have time for his friends, if you have him give up his friends, than no guy is going to want to be in a relationship with you, if you do that, than you'll wind up with no boyfriend and you don't want that, no girl does." said Kenji as he explained. "Also, I can tell if didn't work out between Tantor and Dania but the three of you got to stop fighting."

Dania, Terk and Tantor seemed to be surprised at how Kenji is telling them to be better people. Dania felt like Kenji was being nice about the situation without sweating her about it, she knew he was right. Terk and Tantor seemed to know he was right as well.

"Dania, if you want people to like you or a special someone to become your boyfriend, than you have to accept people and this special someone for who they are and learn to let them do what they want and they'll let you do what you want, it's part of a healthy relationship between boyfriend and girl friend, even husband and wife. The three of you need to stop fighting." said Kenji as he continued. "Dania, you know you don't like it when people hurt you, and Terk and Tantor, you two know you don't like it when people hurt you, can the three of you get along and let bygones be bygones."

"Well, I'll admit, I hate being mad and holding anger against people, it gives me headaches." said Tantor as he agreed.

"I guess I can try to work on changing for the better, even if it means becoming friends with Terk and Tantor, I can try to get along with them." said Dania as she agreed.

They all knew this was one step closer in being better people but they were also waiting for Terk to say something as Tantor turned to her.

"Come on Terk, you know Kenji's right." said Tantor as he lightly elbowed her with his trunk.

"Okay, I guess I can work on being friends with Dania and move on, but as long as we can get along, than I guess I can do it too." said Terk as she finally agreed to this.

Terk walked over to Kenji and pulled him in for a hug and Kenji hugged her back, she smiled as she seemed to feel amazed at how Kenji can be good with making peace between them.

"How does a human like you managed to learn how to make peace between people who are fighting?" said Terk with a grin.

"A part of me knew that I should do the right thing, I seem to always know what is right and what isn't, I've learned it from others." said Kenji with a blushing grin.

Terk hugged Kenji a bit tighter but not too tight and she giggled.

"Hey guys." came a males voice.

They all turned to see Tarzan and he seemed to just swing in from a vine and land on the ground.

"How long have you been there, Tarzan?" said Tantor.

"I just got here. I was going to let you know that me and Jane were heading towards the Trading Post in case anyone needs to know where I'm at." said Tarzan as he informed them.

"Did the Professor do an experiment that literally blew up in his face again?" said Terk.

"Yes, some of his experiments seem to have there flaws." said Tarzan.

"I'll go with you." said Kenji immediately.

They all wondered what made Kenji want to go with them but knew it was obvious.

"I'll go with you too." said Tantor.

"I'll go with Kenji too." said Terk but suddenly blushed. "I mean I'll go with you too."

"Alright, but Kenji stays with us the whole time." said Tarzan as he was informing them.

"You got it, also, I know where the place is, I've been there before." said Kenji.

As Kenji began to go off with Terk, Tantor and Tarzan, Kenji gave Dania one last hug before heading off with them. They all felt good to know that Kenji made peace between Dania, Terk and Tantor and convinced Dania to change for the better but what was surprising to them is that Kenji's been to the Trading Post before, made them wonder if he knew the people that worked there or if he just passed by the place. They wondered about one last thing in mind, if Kenji's been to the Trading Post, how did he find his way there like he did with finding his way into the jungle?
