Martin stepped out of the Tortuga taking a deep breath of fresh air. He wore a dark blue jump suit and held his helmet under one arm.
"So, shall the race begin?" said Kitty from behind. She had finished just getting into her jumpsuit, which was a very shiny light blue, and she held her black helmet in both her hands.
When Martin turned around to answer her, his mouth dropped a little. Kitty, for a moment seemed as if a beautiful racer angel or something, with her lovely, skinny curves, and soft face. Though, even though Martin wasn't paying attention to her doing this, Kitty had already walked right in front of him, waving her hand past his face a few times, "Hello? Martin?"
Martin snapped out of it, and he could hear Koki and Aviva giggling in the back round, "Um, what? Oh! Right, right, the race... sure, let's start!" he said with a nervous laugh as he stood up straighter.
"Okay..." said Kitty slowly as she passed him, staring at him weirdly.
Martin watched her, "Not a bad view from behind either..." he mumbled smiling.
Soon they where both on the cheetah racers, and where at the starting line. Koki stood in front of them with a flag. As she raised it, both Kitty and Martin, got down closer to their machines.
"One... two... three- GO!" Koki said with a shout and a wave of the flag, and Martin and Kitty both zoomed pass her, leaving her hair even more poofed back then it already was.
Jimmy and Aviva watched from the Tortuga's top porch with a telescope, because the race went pretty far. And Koki hurried to join them up there, so, she wouldn't miss any of the race.
As Martin and Kitty raced across the savanna, he noticed all the animals that stared at them as they passed by. He smiled, feeling like he was a real racer, and all the animals where his audience. He also felt Kitty was a worthy opponent, cause she was already ahead, but not for long.
Martin leaned in more, as the cheetah racer went faster, and soon, he was passing her, laughing victoriously. But, there was a reason Kitty didn't speed up, there was a steep turn coming up, and if you didn't turn just right on it, you could plummet off it's canyon side.
Kitty was trying to warn Martin, but, he didn't notice. So when the turn came, Kitty eased into it, but Martin skid, and couldn't stop to turn. Kitty stopped immediately, and turned around, "MARTIN!"
Everyone back at the Tortuga gasped, and watched the racer fall off the side of the steep canyon wall, but luckily Martin gripped to a ledge. He was trying to pull himself up, but no luck, he slipped more, but didn't fall. Yet.
Kitty jumped off of the racer and ran over to the ledge.
Aviva jumped up to, "Hurry guys, they need help! Vamanos!" They all quickly hurried down to the Createrra, and drove off towards the canyon.
Kitty quickly knelt over the side, seeing Martin 15 feet below her, "Martin! Are you alright?"
Martin looked up, and winced saying, "Do I look alright? I am hanging of a CLIFF!"
Kitty didn't pay attention to his sarcasm, she quickly looked around for something to pull him up. "I'll be right back! Stay there!"
"Do I have a choice?"
Kitty ran over to her cheetah racer, and opened the hood, "Sorry Aviva..." she mumbled as she ripped out many cables, and quickly tied them together, making a makeshift rope.
"I'm coming Martin!" she called as she ran over to the edge again, quickly lowering the rope. Martin grabbed it, and tugged a little, "Got it!"
Kitty nodded, and with that, she pulled. But, Martin was definitely to heavy for her to lift alone. So quickly, thinking fast, she transformed into an elephant, and gripped the makeshift rope tight, and pulled hard.
She must of pulled to hard, because, Martin actually flung up through the air above her giving a shout.
Kitty turned back into herself, and looked up watching Martin fly through the air-... Right at her!
She screamed and tried to move out of the way, but, Martin crashed into her, and from the impact they both rolled a little.
Finally they both crashed against a tree. Martin was upside down against the tree, and Kitty was on her face.
When Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy finally got there, Kitty was pulling her head up, and Martin was still laying there, blinking. Then, out of no where, Martin started laughing, and pretty soon, so did Kitty.
Jimmy blinked, "Did I miss some hilarious joke, or something?" Aviva and Koki just shrugged
Martin and Kitty both got up, Martin smiled, "That was awesome!"
"I know right? When you fell off the side I though you where a goner!"
"I know! And when I flung through the air and hit you, I thought we where both going to be in pain afterwards!"
Kitty and Martin both laughed harder. Jimmy shook his head, "I don't see how this is funny..."
"Neither do I..." mumbled Koki
Soon, after their laughing fit, Kitty and Martin stood straight and smiled at their friends.
Aviva shook her head and smirked, and then sighed with relief that they where both okay. "Shall we head back?"
Martin nodded, "Sure, I think flinging off a cliff is enough adventure for me today..." he nearly started laughing like crazy again, but, controlled himself.
"Uh huh..." said Koki poking Martin in the head, "Sometimes I don't think your right up here..." she then walked away, back to the Createrra with Aviva and Jimmy.
But Martin and Kitty both stayed next to the tree, still sort of catching their breath. Martin smiled at Kitty, "Thanks for saving me, back there..."
Kitty nodded, "No problem. We don't need two injured Kratt brothers now, do we?" she teased nudging him with her elbow.
He smiled and walked over to her Cheetah racer, and got on. "C'mon."
After putting the cables back in, Kitty got on behind him, and slowly put her arms around his waist. And she smiled softly as she rested her head on his back and closed her eyes.
Martin blinked and looked down at her, he smiled softly, and started off after the Createrra.
