Yay! Back with new chapter.

I've tried to pace myself and make a new chapter every Friday for a story.

Anyway...Here's the new chapter!

ENJOY!

DISCLAIMER! Guys?! How many more times do I have to say this?! It's like a broken record! DX XD

Aviva fiddled with her screwdriver in her hands. That last phrase that she heard just wouldn't leave her mind!

Flashback

"Okay, just remember," Chris started, "No one can know about this. Especially Aviva."

"What could he have meant by that?" She thought to herself. Then another thing popped into her head that might be the answer, and it flooded her in an emotional fury!

"How...how could he do that?! I...thought he loved me?" She thought as a tear fell from her face. She didn't want to believe it, but every sign was pointing towards it! Chris Kratt...was cheating on her!

"We had three runs, bro! If it wasn't for Holiday...!" Martin said as he and his brother still argued about the game, and walked into the main room of the HQ.

"Hey, you're hitter was totally SLOPPY!" Chris replied, a smirk on his face, knowing he was right.

"We almost did strike you out!" Martin replied.

"In your dre..." Chris stopped in mid sentence seeing Aviva giving a cold shoulder to everyone else in the room. Koki and Jimmy didn't seem to notice. Jimmy was sucked into his video game, and Koki was busy updating her computer software. But still, she caught Chris's eye.

"Okay, I admit it, the first batter in the last inning got struck out, but c'mon!" Martin continued as he grabbed some mango juice from the fridge, but then he noticed his brother wasn't even paying attention anymore.

"Okay, Chris, I know you're very proud that you won, but that doesn't mean you don't listen to the losing side." Martin told him, a little offended. But still, Chris looked as if he were in deep thought.

"Bro, are you even listening to me?"

Still no answer.

"You who! Earth to Chris."

"What's wrong with her?" Chris asked himself.

"Green Guy! Snap out of it!" Martin shouted, snapping his fingers in Chris's face.

Chris blinked as if he just came out of hypnosis or something.

Then he remembered what his brother said, and gave a huff.

"Don't call me Green Guy. EVER!" He said, pointing his finger at his brother.

"Knew that would work." Martin replied with a sly sneer and a growling response from his brother.

Chris walked over to Aviva's side, and then Martin realized why Chris was acting the way he was. Aviva did look a little down. And for her, that's not normal.

"Hey, Aviva?" Chris asked as he walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, making her jump a little, but she didn't turn to face him.

"Is something wrong?" Chris hadn't looked at her face yet, but when Aviva turned around, Chris could see her face was stained in tears that had escaped her eyes even though they fought to stay in, and her eyes were bloodshot and drowning in tears as well.

Chris gasped.

"What wrong? Did something happen?" He really wanted to know, but Aviva couldn't even muster the strength to look him in the eye.

"Why...why are you doing this to me?" She asked in her shaky voice.

"Do...doing what?"

"YOU DON'T NEED TO HIDE IT ANYMORE! I KNOW YOUR SECRET!" She shouted, but not meaning to. Great, now Koki, Jimmy, and Martin are going to want to know too.

Chris meanwhile went pale. He had been caught red handed!
"I heard you talking to Martin this morning! I heard what you said!" She continued as more tears fell from her face.

Chris winced.

"Wha...what did you hear?"

"Nothing much...just that you wanted to keep something from me! I thought we never kept secrets from one another! It only makes me wonder what it is! But I know, so you don't need to hide anymore! I'll just...I'll just get out of your way!"

And with that, Aviva ran from her chair, face in her hands sobbing, running towards the door that led to the garage of the HQ.

Meanwhile, Koki and Jimmy were silently saying the same things to one another.

'What the heck was that about?'

Martin walked up to Chris, who was still pale, feeling as though he had just been hit square in the stomach.

"Chris...you alright?"

Chris looked up at his brother that clearly stated, Does-it-look-like-I'm-alright?!

He ran his hand through his hair, rather upset that the secret of his proposal was out.

But after reviewing the signs that Aviva was giving, Martin drew a different conclusion.

He laughed a little.

Chris looked back at his chuckling brother.

"And this is funny...because!?"

"It's not that...I know what's wrong with her. She still doesn't know!"

"About my plan?"

"Yeah. I think I know what's going on."

"What? What's going on?!" Chris asked desperately, hoping that his proposal idea was still safe.

"Okay, remember when we rescued Thornsley from Zach a few months back?" Martin questioned.

"Yeah." Chris replied.

"Remember the park ranger that he had with him?"

"Chloe? Yeah I remember her...!" Chris then realized what his brother was getting at, and he immediately made a face of disgust.

"Oh my gosh! Martin! You can't be serious!" Chris exclaimed, not believing what Aviva thought the 'truth' was.

"Oh trust me, I am. Besides, she wouldn't be crying that emotionally over something so happy as a proposal!" Martin pointed out.

"Wait a minute...how come you know so much about this and I don't?" Chris asked.

Martin then went pale, then blushed a little in embarrassment. He lowered his voice as embarrassment took over.

"Okay, maybe Jimmy made me watch a soap opera called The Forgotten Love last night, the point is...I can kinda see why see'd think that."

"Why?"

"Well, you have been sneaking out a lot lately." Martin remarked, going over the points.

"I had to to look for the perfect ring."

"At five o'clock in the morning?!" Martin asked. Even he was flabbergasted at that fact.

"Okay, well, that was for a different reason! You know I can sleep walk." Chris added.

"Yeah, when you were seven." Martin replied.

"Back to the point please!" Chris asked, not liking how the conversation was turning.

"And you have been getting some weird E-mails." Martin added.

"From her parents! Don't you think she'd recognized her own E-mail address?" Chris asked, knowing that was a poor piece of evidence.

"You might, but she might not, so you need to fix before tonight!" Martin cut in.

And...that's chapter 2!

Hope you enjoyed.

Now, you fed that box five lovely bites of review last time, and now he's hungry for more. Hurry and feed it before it eats me! DX
