It was snowing lightly that morning, over a peaceful white country side. No cars, and no large buildings were to be seen for miles. No pollution, no noise, and not really many people.
The largest man made structures, were just a large barn and stable, and a large house on a hill.
The only few creatures out that snowy day, were a few horses, trotting around, then they went back into the stables, being cold.
Though, of course the peaceful atmosphere was quickly disturbed by the turtle shaped Tortuga flying over head and landing in a nearby field.
The Christmas season drew near, and the Wild Kratt Team was dropping off Kitty and Martin off on the Wilkinson Farm, where Kitty had grown up.
Chris and Martin weren't going to there usual place to stay around Christmas, they decided Martin would travel with Kitty that holiday, and Chris would go with Aviva.
Jimmy was already at his grandma's, and Koki was already with her sisters. (They were dropped off earlier.)
Martin looked down at the farm, from a window, smiling a little at Kitty who was beside him, "Wow... it's really big..."
"I know. I use to have such amazing adventures here..." said Kitty, remembering good times.
After Tortuga landed, and Aviva walked over to Martin and Kitty, "Well, here's your guy's stop. I hope you two have a Merry Christmas! Feliz navidad!" and with that Aviva took out two presents for them both.
"Aw, thanks Aviva!" said Kitty, as she and Martin took the gifts.
"Hey no prob." Aviva smiled lightly.
"By the way, we left you and Chris your own presents in your rooms." said Martin, shaking his own gift a little.
Chris walked over as well, "Well bro, I hope you and Kitty have an awesome holiday!"
"We will! And this year Chris, easy on the eggnog..." Martin laughed a little as he hugged his brother.
After their goodbyes, and Chris gave Martin and Kitty their gifts from him, and Kitty got Survivor (the lion). Soon
MK and Kit headed out the Tortuga's front door, into the snow.
They stood their and waved until the Tortuga took off, and was out of sight.
"So, shall we head on?" said Martin, who was trying to adjust his hat while holding two presents.
"We shall." said Kitty with a bright smile, and started through the snow which was a foot high. Survivor followed.
Martin and Kitty both were actually dressed in normal winter attire, not a creature power suit or vest for once.
Lucky thing about Christmas was, was that the villains always were on their own holidays and caused barely ever any trouble.
Anyway, they walked down the snowy road, along side a wooden fence that led out onto the horse's field.
And Survivor pranced ahead, not exactly sure yet what to think of snow.
Martin blinked and looked at the forest on the other side of the road, "It's so quiet..."
"It's how it usually is around this time of year..." said Kitty, mainly studying her old house. "The pond is frozen, the horses are warming themselves in the barn, my dad and brother are inside working on decorations, and the farm hands are getting everything ready for relatives... and the whole world seems to work at peace together..."
Martin smiled, he could tell she was happy to be back home.
Soon they turned and started up the long drive way towards the house that was on the hill.
Horses came out of their stables and back out onto the field, curious to see who was coming up the path.
The creatures neighed happily to she Kitty, and paused upon seeing Martin and Survivor.
A chestnut foal was brave enough to come up to the fence to study Martin.
Martin and Kitty both stopped.
"Hey there buddy." said Martin leaning down reaching out to pet the foal's muzzle.
The foal allowed Martin to pet him, then he trotted away when Survivor came over wanting to sniff the foal.
Kitty laughed, "Oh well... hey let's hurry! I think I smell Olive making her famous gingerbread!" and there was a scent of gingerbread on the air.
Martin nodded and walked again beside Kitty, "Now who's Olive?"
"The housekeeper, though, she is really more like family..." Kitty smiled.
Just as they walked up onto the porch, a man's voice came from behind them, "Laura? Is that you?"
Kitty froze, and turned around slowly, "Donte? Oh my gosh!" and with that she put down her presents and ran over and hugged a man who was a little taller then Martin, and seemed stronger too. The man had brown hair with a red tint to it, and light blue eyes. Overall, he was pretty good looking.
"It's been to long Laura! Where have you been? We've all missed you so much!" Said Donte spinning Kitty around a little.
"It's nice to see you too Donte, I've missed you too." and with that, Kitty kissed Donte on the cheek.
Martin froze and stared blankly at Kitty. How could Kitty kiss another guy? It was heart crushing for Martin to see.
Donte's attention then turned to Martin, "Who's this fellow?"
"Oh, Donte, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Martin Kratt." said Kitty, now walking over to Martin taking his arm gently.
Martin's eyes narrowed a little, as he nodded slowly, wanting this Donte character to know Kitty was his girl.
Donte barely noticed Martin's look at all, "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?" he seemed quite confused.
"Yep, I'm her boyfriend," Martin mentioned again making sure it was getting through to this guy, "Nice to... meet you..." he shook Donte's hand.
Donte blinked, and snapped out of his shocked state, "Um, yeah, nice to meet you too, Marty!" he smiled.
Martin blinked, What the heck? No one's ever called me Marty... I hate that nickname... he thought, forcing a smile.
Well, they all went inside, and Martin's thoughts were flushed for a second, because of how much bigger the house was on the inside.
But, his thoughts went back to Kitty and Donte as he saw them both walking away, laughing and chatting with each other.
"This should be an interesting holiday..." said Martin.
