R&R?

The Zach-bots drag us down the never-ending halls. Then they untie our bonds (which are ropes) and throw us in a jail cell. Ugh. I'm trapped. Helpless. Again. I can smell the smell of oil (for rusty robots/inventions) and tomato soup (Zach's favorite food). I hate tomato soup.

"How do you know Zach?" Aviva asks.

"Well, my mom, her name was Alessandra, yes, like the Victoria's Secret model, and she went to college with Zach," I began. "That's also where she met my dad. But anyways, she was one of the popular sorority girls, and Zach wasn't a frat boy, and my dad wasn't either. The two of them liked her, plus a bunch of frat boys. They'd all show off when she was around, and she fell in love with my dad. The other boys moved on, but Zach apparently couldn't. He was like.. addicted to her!"

"Creep," Aviva mutters.

"I know." I roll my eyes. "Anyways, he kept showering her with gifts, and then she was like stop, and he's like, but I love you! And then she got engaged and Zach was heartbroken. He and my mom still stayed friends-" I make air quotes- "but she still thought he loved her. He came to see her, and I was around, too. We actually lived kinda close. Like, he moved kinda close. Weird. But anyways, he'd come see us, and me too, but I don't think he liked me or my dad. He gave me these looks when I did something wrong. Or Marcy. But he can get over himself. And so that ends the tale of Zach and Alessandra."

"What did your mom look like?" Chris asks. "Did you get your traits from her or your dad?"

"My dad's name was Ian. He was blonde, like Martin, and so was Marcy." I answer. "So like you and Martin. Marcy ended up like Martin, and I'm brunette like you."

"And me," Aviva adds. "So, did Zach hate you or Marcy more?"

"Me, since I was first born I think," I reply. "Just because he didn't get my mom."

"Wow." Chris raises an eyebrow. " Zach's a total creep. I know it's not nice, but it sounds like he stalked her."

"I think he did!"

We all laugh, knowing that Zach's like that.

"And since when does Leilani Adele Richardson sound like Alana Coral Ri-CHARD-son!?" I roll my eyes. "Honestly, next thing he's going to do is be calling you something like Christie Kratt and Aaliyah Corcovado!"

"Aaliyah," Aviva repeats. "That's a new one. People have called me Avara, Alana- like you- and some people just can't get it."

"Christie?!" Chris protests. "I'm not a girl!"

"No, Zach's just stupid like that," I reply, staring at my fingernails. "And annoying. And lazy. And a self-obsessed stalker."

"I heard that!" Zach exclaims, startling us.

"Well, it's true!" I sass back, folding my arms. "What are you going to do? Out-sass me? Teach me how to lie? Stalk me next?!"

Zach growls, frustrated, but then smiles evilly. "No. But I will use your dog friend as my next test subject. What was her name, uh, Lulu?"

"You wouldn't dare!" I gasp. "And she's a wolf, you idiot!"

"He would," Aviva whispers.

"LULU! Come here!" Zach screams, looking at cages. "Zach-bots, bring me the doggy thingy."

Lulu?! Doggy thingy?! What? Well, that just proves Zach can't get names right. Luna is Lulu, Wild Kratts is Wild Rats. Wow. Claps for Zach, he's won an award: Most Names Mistaken That's Probably On Purpose! Next time on Keeping Up with the Corcovado-Kratts! The pilot episode would be called Leilani because when they met me they got together. (With a little help from me and Martin.) Part two: Donita's Secret. Episode three: Zach Attack! Episode four... would be determined soon.

The Zach-bots dumbly obey, and I untie my shoe and take it off. There's throwing room between the bars of the cell. Zach, you idiot, seriously, get a life. Or are you so far into stupidity you can't get out? Probably. Zach's always been so full of himself, selfish and stupid! Ugh. He needs to get over himself. He isn't that good. He probably think he is a god or something. (HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA... no)

Zach grabs the needle, and Luna is restrained by Zach-bots. Why isn't she doing anything? Oh, right.

"LUNA! DON'T BE RESTRAINED!" I scream desperately. It kills me to see her held back. Animals should be "living free and in the wild" or whatever Chris says at the end of every interaction with any animal. It's true. Why capture wild animals? If you want to use them, then too bad! Get over it!

"And now this doggy thing is mine, all mine!" Zach cackles evilly.

I throw my shoe and it hits him in the head, just as Martin comes driving along in the Createrra, seeing a shoe fly past. "Uh... what just happened?"

"Leilani threw a shoe at Zach," Chris answers.

"And I learned I have good aim!" I add.

"Leilani, you shouldn't throw things at people." Aviva looked over at Zach and sighed. "Even him."

"Aww." I fold my arms. "But it worked!"

Life Rule #239: No throwing things at people. Why? Because Aviva said so.

"BLUE BOY!" Zach exclaims. "GET HIM!"

Martin runs around Zach's jet, and the Zach-bots chase him. He's too fast. The Zach-bot chases Martin, and Luna is free. She grabs the keys from a hanging hook and hands them to me. I unlock us, then stick the keys in my jacket pocket. We're free. I grab some of the fallen rope and walk over to Zach.

He is so going to get it.
