A/N: This is for SakuraKamada! :) Kratts when they were kids. ;) Enjoy!


It was a rather quiet rainy afternoon outside. The thick cloud cover the sky had made it seem almost night, though there was still that faint gleam to it that let you know it was still day. Everything was calm and at peace which the rain brought with it each time.

Even inside the Kratt's residence, everything and everyone was taking it slow today. Chris was currently sitting on his knees, staring out the window in the living room boredly. The five year old was resting his arms on the window sill watching as the rain kept falling. He sighed laying his head down in his arms. The dark grey sky didn't show any signs of letting up anytime soon. He glanced over across the living room at his mother who was reading on the couch.

"Mom, when's it gonna stop raining?" He asked, "I want to go outside"

Mrs. Kratt looked up from her book to her youngest son "I don't know, honey. The weather reports say it should last till early tomorrow morning. Spring rain usually lasts awhile"

Chris looked up at the sky once again before turning around to sit facing her. "I hate when it rains..." Chris said pulling his knees up to his chest embracing them.

Mrs. Kratt smiled at him with empathy "Aw, I'm sorry your stuck inside today"

He didn't like when it rained. There was nothing to do. He couldn't go outside, he'd either ran out of things he had found to do that morning or gotten bored with them, and everyone else was off somewhere doing their own thing. And it was going to be raining all day? Great. What if...what if the sun didn't come up? What if it couldn't because the clouds to keep it from coming up? What if the sun never came up again?! Chris gasped at the thought "Oh no!" he said looking worriedly.

Mrs. Kratt turned her attention to her son to see what the sudden exclamation was about. "Is there something wrong, sweetie?"

Chris turned to his mother. I can't tell mom. I dont want her to be worried too.

"N-nothing! I just...gotta go find Martin!" Chris explained hurriedly hopping down and running up the stairs on the other side of the room. His mind drifted over to his older brother.

Last time Chris had seen his brother had been nearly an hour ago in their shared room. Then, the older Kratt had been laying in his bed reading a book about sea turtles. Chris made up him mind. He'd go tell Martin first.

"Martin!"

Chris climbed the top step and rushed down the hall into their room.

"Martin!"

Martin was just finishing the book when he heard Chris and jumped. He got worried when he saw Chris out of breath trying to tell him something. "Chris? What's wrong?"

"Martin...! It's been raining all day!

"It's been raining since before the sun came up. The rain might of kept it from coming up today" Chris explained worriedly.

"Wait, Chris, th-"

Chris kept going "What if...what if the sun never comes back up? We'll never be able to go outside or anything and it would be dark forever!"

Martin laughed at his brother. "Stupid! Of course it's gonna come up! It always does after it rains! It just sometimes takes a while!"

Chris frowned pouting. "I am not stupid..." he mumbled.

Martin stopped laughing and shook his head. "Maybe not, but you still have a lot to learn!"

The nine year old sat on the edge of his bed with his book from before and motioned for Chris to sit. Chris climbed up on his brother's bed sitting cross legged looking at him. Martin opened the book and showed Chris a picture of the ocean. "The ocean is full of water. I mean a LOT of water. All of it has to go somewhere. So all that rain outside is from the water from the ocean!"

Chris blinked. "That's a lot..." Chris gasped. "What if it fills up our house?"

"You mean flood?"

Chris nodded. "Yeah like it did to Will's house! What if that happens to our house?"

Martin shook his head "Nah. It won't. You worry to much" But Martin considered what Chris had said.

"Well, at least I think it won't..." he said less sure of himself.

They both turned to their large window on the other side of the room over Chris's bed. The rain was steadily coming down as it had the entire day.

"Everything would be under it! And everything outside would be in trouble. The trees, Hedi's doghouse...the animals! Oh no, what are they gonna do? They don't know what's gonna happen. We gotta stop it, Martin!"

Everything Chris said does make since Martin thought. "Well okay. Just in case. C'mon. Let's go save the animals!"
