This here is a 25 Dollar commission for  marillon954, about how three different stories of the cast from the 2016 Live Action Disney film "The Jungle Book" ends up in some very messy situations.

For anyone who hasn't seen the film the opening might be a bit confusing, but besides that it should be very easy to get into.

The Jungle Book and it's characters in this version belongs to Disney.

Ever since the death of Shere Khan in that forest fire things had become really peacefully in the Jungle.

For no more did the animals have to worry about having the ferocious Tiger lurking around them and acting as if he was the true ruler of everything, as now some actual trust and safety was in the hearts of the many inhabitants of the Jungle.

Even Mowgli (The well-known Mancub of the Wolves) did no longer have to feel like he "Had to get back to his own kind", as the one predator to really wanting to hurt him was gone now.

Now he could once again be a part of the family he has been growing to love so much, as he even brought a new friend of his with him.

Baloo the Bear was just about as friendly and kind as he was big and fat, and this lovable brute quickly became the favourite playing mate for many of the Wolf cubs as he grow to live together with the rest.

Even the black Panther Bagheera now found himself feeling less stressed, as he too could actually take a day or 2 to just relax himself in the sun, knowing that Mowgli had both the Wolves and Baloo to protect him if by any chance something dangerous would come his way.

Basically the Jungle was a much less dangerous place to be in now, and that at times could end up a bit boring in the length.

So that quickly lead to some of the characters would try to wander off by their own into different places, and on one very particular day their discoveries would have some pretty "Messy" results.

For a lazy Bear like Baloo it didn't really matter what he called "Home", as he could just get used to any environment at all.

So when having now both a family and friends to live with it was really as close to paradise as he could ask for, as he was just resting by a tree when something interrupted him.

"MLORG!!!"

The loud growling of his giant stomach was enough to scare little critters away, and for Baloo himself it was a pretty big distraction and annoyance.

Having a large appetite meant that he wasn't easy to completely fill up, and meant that when he wasn't resting he had to spend most days hunting for food. (Mostly in the shape of Honey and Fruits)

Being as big as Baloo meant that he had one heck of an appetite, so finding the right amount of fruit to settle his hungry belly was easier said then done as the big Bear started to look around for food.

After having gathered himself some berries and nuts Baloo knew that it wouldn't be enough to make him feel full, and that's when his eyes spotted something larger.

Looking over at the distance Baloo spotted some branches that there was tons of pineapples growing out of it!

Running his lumpy body over as fast as he could the Bear soon had to make a sudden stop when he saw that the branch was hanging over a Tar Pit!

Trying to stop himself Baloo ended up breaking just before falling into it, as just the tip of his claws came into contact with it!

The Bear was pretty aware over how dangerous a sticky tar pit can be, as it left him unsure on just how to reach up and get to those delicious fruits now?

---

Seeing that the tar pit was surrounded by tall rock walls that was going all the way up to the branch with the pineapples gave Baloo an idea, as he was thinking back to the time when he and Bagheera had been climbing up a literal mountain to rescue Mowgli from some monkeys.

Taking a firm grip against the wall the heavy Bear was heaving himself up as he started his climb against the fruity sweets.

At first it was a very easy climb with lots of space for his giant paws to grab onto, but as he got higher and higher up the wall was getting steeper and with that the space for him to stand on even smaller.

And finally came the part when he was just out of reach of the fruits, and how he would be needing to dig his claws into the rocks in order to still have balance as he tried to get further up.

But having had his front claws dipped into the tar earlier lead to them not staying stuck inside the mountain hole as Baloo felt them slipping out, and before he could do anything he fell backwards and had even his hinds paws get free from the stone wall as he was falling down!

Landing with a huge "GLARF!!!" Baloo ended up belly flopping into the Tar, as he quickly ended up swallowed up completely by the black goo!

There was then a moment of dead silence (as all that was seen was a few air bubbles popping up from the surface), before then a sudden burst of the Bear's head was seen appearing as he was gasping for air!

Having eyes all covered up it was a blinded Bear that was struggling himself to get to the edge of the tar pit, before then with all his strength pulling himself free!

Standing on his two feet again Baloo was scraping the tar off from his eyes to see that he was indeed completely covered in the stuff now.

Looking down he noticed how much thicker he was looking now, as clearly he had a ton of tar sticking to his fur coat.

"BURP!!!"

And as it turns out it seems also that while completely underneath the tar pit he seemed to have been ending up swallowing a great portion of the warm tar also, as his hunger seemed gone and his belly felt completely filled up and full, as it was poking out even further then before.

"Guess I am becoming a literal creature of Tar. Both on the outside and inside!" Baloo said to himself, as he knew he had to show himself to someone like this.

---

For Mowgli it was a different story, as he was planning on something special.

He knew that if there was one thing that Baloo loved more then anything else then it was some honey, so the man cub was on a mission to try and find some to share for his friend.

Having made his own maps to know how the Jungle was looking like Mowgli could pretty quickly spot out places from which he recall having seen honey bees building nests, so he quickly made his way over there.

Getting close to the place Mowgli spotted some bees flying by, and quickly took off to follow them back to their homes.

Looking around Mowgli still couldn't seem to find the nest that the bees was hiding, as he spotted the bees sneaking in behind some vines up by some rocks.

Climbing up Mowgli moved the vines aside to find a hidden little place, which had TONS of honeycombs growing on all the walls!

He was just about to make a step inside when he noticed that there was also a pretty large honeycomb growing also onto the stone floor, and tried to back away quickly.

Unfortunately the ground had some slippery honey at it so Mowgli pretty quickly lost his grip of his feet, as he tried to grasp at some of the vines before falling forward!

But as his back luck would have it his hand lost the grip of the vine as he was just about to fall right onto the honeycomb on the floor, when he ended up being stopped midair by his red loincloth getting tangled into the vine!

Thinking that he had just been saved his bad luck came back royally when he found his only piece of clothing getting untangled from his body, as the loincloth and the vine came flying away from him, leading to the now naked Mowgli falling forward towards the honeycomb!

What Mowgli then thought would just be him getting a little sticky from hitting the honeycomb quickly became something more, as upon smashing into it he discovered that underneath it was a smaller pit filled to the brim with honey! (Which happen to be deep enough so that a full human child could get completely consumed by it!)

He had truly found more then enough honey now to satisfy a big Bear like Baloo for years, but unfortunately it had come to the expense of him now being completely covered in it!

As he tried to get up it was first then that Mowgli realised that he was all naked, and upon getting his eyes free from the honey he could see how his loincloth was just flapping in the wind, as it was still tied up to the vine from earlier.

All he wanted to do now was to get dressed, but not wanting to also have his loincloth all sticky Mowgli decided to just try and wipe one of his hands as "Clean" as he could get it, before then just holding his cloth piece in his hand until he had found a place to take a bath.

"The closest river is back home with my Wolf family." Mowgli was thinking to himself as he knew that he would probably the laughed at upon returning home covered in honey, and with his loincloth in his hands instead around his waist.

Back home at the Wolf Pack it was working on as usual, with the males out hunting, the females looking after their kids, and the kids themselves being literally anywhere while playing!

This was especially true with Brother Gray, a Wolf cub that despite his small size and age was seeing his big brother Mowgli as his life hero, and would like to do anything to ever be as great as he was.

Brother Gray had even been trying to think more like a man cub in order to win over his siblings in the games they play, which sometimes lead to him ending up losing instead of winning.

One such moment came when he was trying to make sudden "jump and dash" from his hiding place in the high grass towards one of his siblings, but as he jumped out he ended up slipping on some mud and tripping over instead.

What's worse was that thanks to his speed the little Wolf ended up continue sliding across the mud covered ground, before then ending up disappearing right into a small hole!

And while his worried siblings was debating about either going after him or running to ask mum for help, Brother Gray found himself waking up to find he was inside some kind of cavern.

This strange place seemed to have a mud pit by the centre of it, and some kind of weird scriptures all over the walls.

Looking at the walls it looked like pictures trying to tell a story, as it showed someone looking think and weak entering into the mud, sinking into it completely, and then coming back up as big and strong!

Brother Gray had always wanted to become a big and strong Wolf as quickly as possible, so maybe it could be worth giving this mud a chance?

Carefully stepping onto it he could feel how he was quickly sinking down into it, and despite being scared he told himself that "Mowgli would never fear mud!" as he stood still as the mud was rising up to his head.

Taking a deep breath Brother Gray became completely submerged into the mud, and while down there he was starting to feel some changes happening to him.

It was almost like the mud around him was getting absorbed into his body, as the walls around the mud pit almost started to get smaller around him.

Once he couldn't hold his breath in any longer did Brother Gray dig his way back up again, and as he gasped for air he noticed that he had indeed changed now.

The once small pup was now at least twice his height, and his body seemed to be noticeably thicker by the mud covering him!

"That mud is really magic!" Brother Gray said exciting as he was about to head back out from the tunnel, only to then feel how the tunnel was to small for him now.

That's when he spotted another way to get out via a river that the mud was going in, and with a light at the end of the tunnel.

This meant once again getting knee deep into the mud as the messy Wolf was making his way forward, and as he did he felt how the mud was doing it's thing again.

He could feel himself growing fatter from it by the second as he was trying to run quicker to make sure he didn't outgrow this tunnel also, which lead to him tripping over a rock at the bottom and digging his face deep into the mud!

Getting some of it in his mouth Brother Gray noticed that the mud had a pretty good taste to it, as he now found himself also eating of the mud while he was wandering through it.

Finally he managed to get himself free, but by then he was looking like he had been swallowing gallons of the mud as he had a hanging belly that was dragging across the ground!

He was looking as tall as a "teenage" Wolf now, but just as obese as Baloo almost!

"I do wonder how the family will react seeming me like this?" Brother Gray asked himself, as he was getting his messy self over back there as quickly as possible. (Thinking that the others was probably worried sick of him by now.)

---

Returning back home all three of them just so happen to show up at the same time, and boy did they have some crazy stories to tell!

Baloo had to explain why he was now both covered and filled up in Tar, Mowgli on why he was now naked and all coated in sticky Honey, and Brother Gray on why he had suddenly been growing in size and weight while also covered in Mud.

Still it was a pretty entertaining reunion, as even after taking a bath and cleaning themselves off both Baloo and Brother Gray still looked like their bloated and weight gained selves. (And Mowgli ended up forgetting about his "undressed state" for a few moments, before then having to rush over to his hanging loincloth while covering himself up.)

Despite their many different (and today quite messy) adventures, they all knew that they still was a very special pack together, who always had each other to trust.
