The train whistled loudly and rang a bell as it departed.

"Why is it leaving?" Andrew asked uneasily.

Usually when entering into another... Ride they never looked back but the train had never left. This time as the two stepped off and found themselves at a treehouse, the train began to chug away from them.

"This may explain it." Skylar said looking down at their only connection to the outside world, the IPhone.

Another piece of information had been sent to them through a text.

Skylar had a worried look on her face as she stared at the screen so Andrew moved in closer to see what she was looking at.

"What does it mean?" He said barely above a whisper.

Skylar looked like she was going to be sick as she mumbled under her breath. "It means we're stuck here."

"You know, I really hate stairs." Andrew panted, as he tried to catch his breath.

Having climbed up a spiral staircase of maybe 200 stairs, Andrew was out of breath but Skylar on the other hand was energetic as ever.

They had arrived at an attraction that they couldn't identify right away, and that was a surprise.

Being dropped off at a ginormous tree house, which was half emerged from the leafy tree tops, the pair had no other option but to climb up.

"Where do you think we are?" Skylar inquired, ignoring his complaint.

"In a treehouse."

"Thank you Captain Obvious."

Turning the corner, they came upon a bridge that crossed over a vast amount of water until it hit land again. The bridge was very high up from where they'd originally started but Skylar didn't hesitate to walk across the swaying overpass.

She was halfway across when she turned around to see Andrew stopped at the edge of the bridge, pale as a ghost.

"What?" She said gently.

"Nothing." She saw him swallow and timidly step onto the rickety overpass.

Skylar didn't understand his reaction but shrugged to herself and walked back to him.

"Come on." She smiled at him, hoping his mood would brighten.

She walked along side Andrew as he inched across, keeping his eyes set on land and not daring to look at the swaying wooden panels under his feet.

They walked up to a 'house' part of the tree. There was a life boat hanging from a outstretched branch coming out of the side of the house and the flag of England hung down vertically from another.

This is what jogged Andrew's memory.

They weren't exactly in a ride but more of a walk through.

"Tarzan!" He announced.

"That's right." Skylar said now remembering. "Man, I haven't been here in years."

"I don't go here that often either." Andrew complied.

They weren't able to access the inside of the house yet and they came upon more stairs.

Andrew was about to say something but Skylar gave him a look that said don't.

Up another flight of stairs and onto a deck of some sort, the pair found wreckage at their feet. A tarp in shreds was draped over long beams that once supported something. Over turned boxes and cabinets were sprawled on the floor. Glass shards were scattered along the floor from an overturned mirror.

"Sabor." Skylar said quietly.

"The jaguar?" Andrew asked, remembering Tarzan's story even though he hadn't seen that movie in ages.

"Leopard."

"Okay, they're both cats but fine. What about him?" He replied.

Skylar's back was to him and she said nothing in response to his question. Her gaze was fixed in the shaded branches of the tree.

Andrew scanned where she was looking but saw nothing. There were leafs, branches, spots, a lot of leafs, more branches--- spots.

He caught the leopard's spotted pattern and followed them until he met the creature's eyes. Even with bright orange fur this cat was very hard to see in the shaded brush. It's yellow eyes rimmed in black were narrowed, fixated on them.

Andrew didn't breath another word as the leopard's eyes gleamed with unpredictability. He was worried it would pounce, he wasn't in range... but she was.He didn't move but it wasn't looking at him either.

Andrew watched her movements closely as the two stared intensely at each other. Skylar withdrew her hand from the shoulder bag she moved ever so slowly and held a stalactite in her hand. She fingered the tip of the rock, touching it lightly as if to check if it was sharp.

He couldn't imagine Skylar killing anything, not because she was a girl or 'delicate' but because this was an animal. Andrew couldn't have handled doing something so terrible but there was still much he didn't know about this mysterious girl.

Sabor began to snarl baring it's razor sharp, but pristine, white teeth, with any luck they'd stay white.

It glared and growled and then... It pounced.

She was ready and dodged the attack leaving the cat to scrape the floor boards with its claws as it landed in front of Andrew.

To say the least, he was surprised and jumped back with a yelp.

Stalactite in hand like a dagger, Skylar advanced behind the leopard back and thrust the rock into the cat's tail. She could of easily aimed for the creature's back or something but she didn't have the intent of killing it, or making it extremely angry.

Sabor whipped around to face her and clawed the stalactite from it's tail.

One second Skylar was standing in front of the leopard with a shaky hand clutching a rock, the next, something or rather someone swooped from the trees and up onto the branch above her. She was startled to find herself in the air at a moments notice but relieved when a tall and muscular Tarzan stood before her.

The next thing she knew, Tarzan grabbed another vine and did the same to Andrew, much to his astonishment.

Although up in the leaves, Sabor decided he was not finished with them. He continued to growl and lunged but Tarzan met him mid pounce, crashing into the floorboards with him. They continued on, carrying the brawl up into the trees and out of their sight.

Andrew and Skylar didn't interfere, knowing that their fight was anticipated by both and it was their fight to fight.

They sat down with their legs dangling off the thick trunk of a branch. They were only maybe several feet of the ground but didn't bother to jump down.

"Well as long we're just hanging here... Want a banana?" Andrew asked as they awaited Tarzan's return.

"No, I'm good." Skylar said flatly, not in the mood for any comical relief.

She slid of the tree and landed onto the floor with a thud.

"Don't leaf me here." Andrew said following her. "Besides shouldn't we wait for him?"

"I'm sure he'll find us."

Skylar scanned the wreckage of Tarzan's prior life and sighed reminiscently.

Andrew picked up a picture frame which encased an old faded photo of Tarzan's biological human family. A fragment of glass still was lodged in the frame and he accidentally grazed his hand on it, leaving a red slit on his hand.

He removed the glass from the space and pocketed it, balling his hand in a fist due to the pain. His exact reason for keeping the glass, he didn't know, but with Skylar having the bag with everything they had in it (which was little) it left him feeling useless in a situation such as the one that just occurred with Sabor.

Andrew set the frame back where he found it and ventured after Skylar as she continued to explore the treehouse.

They finally reached one of the rooms of the house and inside it contained everything normal you would find in a living room, minus the tv or any type of electricity. Almost everything was made of wood or was salvaged in some way from their shipwreck. A giant wheel that originally was used to steer the ship was planted in the back of the room as if to commemorate their prior life.

All the rooms were in tact except for the wreckage outside, the only thing was, it was obvious no one had been here in a while.

They ventured through all the rooms just observing until they began to descend once again using many stairs.

At the bottom, you could say, they walked into Jane's old camp grounds when she first arrived on the island.

A few tattered tents still stood, out dated science equipment scattered on a table. A projector flickered with black and white images of civilized life which Jane had shown to Tarzan. Barrels of food and survival materials were stocked to one side of the area. Many cooking tools and surfaces were stacked up on another, including a tea pot and cup that had a close resemblance to Mrs. Pots and Chip.

A faded green gramophone rimmed in gold had records stacked up next to it and dust caked on the inside. This is the item Andrew took an interest in and he strolled over to it to get a closer look.

He cupped his hand and brushed out the clumps of dust, coughing in the process. Then wiping down the space where a record would go, he flipped the record in his hands and set it on the gramophone.

While Andrew was doing this, Skylar fascinated herself with the pot and cup resembling Mrs. Pots and Chip. She examined them, wondering if they'd begin to talk but they showed no signs of being animated.

"You know, there's a theory that Jane is a descendant of Belle." She said still studying the blank faces of the tea set.

Andrew didn't respond to her as he placed the needle onto the record and began to quickly crank the handle of the gramophone.

It began to play a happy melodious tune and Skyalr turned around to see Andrew with his hand open offering it to her.

"I. Can. Not. Dance."

"That makes two of us." He didn't take no for an answer and slipped his hand into hers.

Pulling her along with him, they danced like at the tea party with Mad hatter. Crazy and sporadic, hand in hand, the pleasant tune carried out through the tree tops. It didn't matter how ridiculous they might have appeared, it was a moment to remember.

Skylar just let him lead her where ever the mood carried them and although neither of them had done anything like this before it just happened.

The record sound was grainy and overall really outdated but it sounded so mellifluous to them.

They danced on until the record came to a hiccup and then ran out of locomotion causing the song to fade away.

Skylar laughed as they stopped capering around. "That was Swisskapolka."

Andrew was grinning from ear to ear but didn't understand what she was referring to.

"The song from Swiss family Robinson. They still play it as a tribute to when this used to be the Swiss Family Robinson Tree." She explained.

"And Walt helped build it didn't he?" Andrew asked.

"Yeah. Here's the proof." Skylar removed the stack of records from beside the gramophone to reveal pictures of the opening day of the tree. "I guess our work here is done, now we've just got to figure out how to get out of here."

"No, the work's not quite over yet." Andrew tried to say in a calm voice but hoped to raise her attention by sounding different in his tone.

Sabor was poised on the table behind her, teeth bared and... Red.

"Don't move."

Skylar freezed with her hand far away from ever reaching a weapon but even if she could her chances weren't good with the cat looming over her.

On the other hand, Andrew's hand, he had only the shard of glass. He fingered it in his pocket, flipping it over on itself as a nervous habit.

The cat's eyes glared sharply and this time Andrew saw in them that he would not wait. The leopard leaped off the table by the momentum of it's back legs as they extended out behind him.

Skylar ducked as a reflex and missed the retractable claws by an inch.

Andrew had whipped out the glass, ripping a gash in his pants, and held the piece out like a switchblade.

At this point in the day, sun was gleaming through the leafy trees and a ray hit his weapon and reflected the beam onto the wooden floor.

Sabor's fangs dripped and his back was hunched into a striking position but his head snapped away from the tantalizing human to look at the little spot of light on ground.

At first Andrew didn't see what had drawn the cat's eyes away from him but soon he caught onto what was captivating the leopard.

He slanted the glass a bit more and the dot ran across the floorboards chased by a very big cat. Sabor pawed at it and tried desperately to get a hold of it but it just kept darting in front of him.

After a minute of playing with him, the two couldn't help but smirk a little. This ferocious, spotted, 60 pound feline acted like a regular house cat.

A thud on the floorboards revealed that Tarzan had jumped down from the trees. He dropped a crimson fruit onto the floor that had a giant bite taken out of it. That explained the red stained teeth.

"I take from here." Tarzan said in a gruff voice.

He took the advantage of Sabor distracted by the light and tied a vine around his mouth. Then proceeded in carrying him off by the scruff of his neck.

"Now what?" Skylar said. "The trains are disabled in Disneyland and so now we have no way of transport."

Andrew and Skylar were earlier informed via an IPhone that Disneyland's trains were shut down for at least a year and a half due to the new construction of Star Wars land.

"We walk?" Andrew quipped.

"Very funny."

"Well we could always ride the leopard."

"Think back to the end of the movie." Skylar said ignoring his last two suggestions.

"If I remember correctly, Jane stays with Tarzan on the island and it ends with them standing out on a branch over a massive waterfall." Andrew replied.

"Right, so what if we were to jump into that waterfall?" Skylar asked.

"That makes no sense, sounds like one of my plans." Andrew uttered the last part under his breath.

"Does anything here?"

"Not really, but that's no excuse to throw ourselves off a cliff."

"Would you rather try and ride the leopard?" Skylar raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, waterfall it is." Andrew gave in, not wanting to fight.

Finding an identical branch to the one in the movie, they stood over the waterfall as water cascaded over the edge.

It was so far down and they both felt faint although Andrew was the paler one.

Skylar intertwined her hand into his and squeezed. "What no corny jokes?"

He said nothing.

"Well, come on, wave to the water."

Andrew breathing was shallow and he was set off with trepidation.

"Sea what I did there?"

That won her a small smile and it was worth everything.

"I'm shore you did."

They both stared at the distance from where they stood to the water.

Skylar's feet danced at the edge but remained planted on the branch. "You know there was always a quote that I liked from Tarzan, 'Trust your heart and let fate decide.'"

"I remember I different one." Andrew finally had spoken.

"What was it?"

Andrew tightly their grip on each other and he plunged off the branch and with Skylar linked to him they rushed toward the water below.

The quote rang in his ears 'From this day on, now and forever more, you'll be in my heart.'
