R&R?


The sound from the flute is beautiful, prettier then any flute I'd ever played. A zebra comes in front of the Tortuga and "bows" like Constellation the wolf did before I left the forest. Being Queen of the Wild really has its perks. The zebra then walks up the ramp to me, and I set the flute down. Then I mount the zebra like a horse.

"Ooh! You look good!" Aviva exclaims.

I smile. "Thanks, Aviva. Anything you want me to tell the bros?"

"They are dead." Aviva smirks and walks back into the Tortuga. "Good luck finding them!"

The zebra gallops through the African savanna as I scan for the Kratt brothers. The zebra know where it's going though, and soon they come into view. The zebra rears like a horse, and I glare at the Kratt brothers. They are so dead.

"Uh-oh."

"You're so dead to me and Aviva!" I sigh. "What am I going to do with you guys?"

"Nothing?" Chris smiles sheepishly.

"Pleeeeeeeeease?" Martin asks.

They both make puppy faces at me. I hate when they do that. I can't help but forgive them. I swing my leg over the zebra and dismount. It gallops off, giving me a quick bow before it runs off.

"Fine."

They cheer, then keep looking for a lion pride. But there are none- it's like all the lions are gone! I walk around the savanna, and then I decide to try a lion call. I sing high notes, but no lions ever come. Well, I'd never tried it before either.

"What? Aren't they supposed to come?" Chris asks.

"They are," I reply. "Hmm... That's odd."

"Blur!" Martin exclaims, pointing at a cheetah. She sits on the savanna peacefully.

Chris sticks a disc in his disc case. "No gazelle power today."

Martin laughs, but I'm confused. "What?"

"He got tackled by Blur a lot when we were here once," Martin explains. "And we raced Zach. Aviva won."

"Nice," I reply.

"Come on, let's go see Blur!" Martin starts running, and I follow him. Chris eventually follows, and I think, Lions can wait. The cheetah seems to know Chris and Martin, and she even lets us pet her. She also has a cub- Martin calls him Spot Swat. He's adorable!

"He looks about a year old now."

"Aw, Blur, he's cute!"

"Awww!"

Spot Swat is the cutest baby animal I'd ever seen. Except maybe Luna's kid Comet, she was pretty cute. She's an adult wolf now.. Wait, where was Luna?! She wasn't around and Aviva had said the Kratt brothers took her...!

"Where's Luna?" I ask frantically.

"She was right with us!" Chris exclaims.

"You lost her?!" I snap. "On the African savanna? SHE HAS A FUR COAT!"

"We'll find her!" Martin stutters, then I see him whisper to Chris, "Hopefully."

"I heard that! Luna!" I call. Nothing is heard. Oh, those Kratt brothers are more then dead if I can't find her.

We call for maybe a half hour more as we walk, but still no Luna. I sigh and sit down on a rock. I see a zebra herd off to the right, and the sun's in the middle of the sky. I don't know what to do if Luna goes missing. She's my best friend. I met her in the woods as a lone female, then she found her pack. This was before my family died.

Luna gets her pack, my family dies... then I named all of the wolves in the pack. They offered me meat, but I knew raw meat was a no, so they showed me the forest. I also met the other animals, who seemed to like me. The birds made me a tiara. It's funny how all the animals liked me. The birds basically called me Queen of the Wild, but was it real? Was I born into a throne or something? (Because I don't see the Kratts singing and having animals come to them. I actually wanted to hear them sing.) Well, once I had found a cave, and it had a drawing of a girl surrounded by animals... but the girl was a lot prettier then me.

"Oh, no." Martin whispers.

"What?" Chris and I ask.

Martin just points at a grey cargo plane. I see black robots all around it. It looks futuristic. I climb up a tree, and Chris follows.

"Who's that?" I ask.

"Zach Varmitech," Martin answers. "The robotics inventor who doesn't like animals. He uses animals to power his inventions!"

"Jerk," I reply. "Who does that?"

No answer comes. So we have Donita, queen bitch of fashion and Zach, 'the robotics inventor who doesn't like animals.' What's next?

"Where's Blur?" Chris asks. "She was just with us!"

"And Spot Swat!" Martin adds. "He was just here, too!"

"All the animals are disappearing on the African savanna..." I can't believe it.

"Do you think Zach...?"

"He would do that..."

"Aviva?" I tap on my Creature Pod.

"Hey Leilani, Martin and Chris." Aviva smiles. "What's up?"

"We think Zach's stolen animals from the African savanna!" Chris exclaims.

"What? That's terrible!" Aviva gasps.

"Yeah," Martin agrees. "We're going to check it out."

"Okay... be careful!" Aviva warns.

"Luna's missing too. If he lays a finger on her, me, Martin, Chris or any of the animals..." I narrow my eyes.

"I'm coming too." Aviva spins out of her chair and it disconnects. I send her the coordinates. A few minutes later, she shows up with my spear, flute and the Kratts' Creature Power Suits.

"Hey Aviva." I jump out of the tree, not bothering to climb down. "So what's the plan?"

"We're going to talk to him," Chris decides.

"And we can see if he's got any animals." Martin adds.

"He'll probably have all of them." I roll my eyes.
