CHAPTER FIVE:
NOTE: BOLD Means that two or more people are talking at the same time.
"So let me get this straight... you are from another dimension... and you all are us with different genders... and you intended to build a time machine but instead created a machine that displaces people in space?" Akiva asked. Aviva nodded. The (NOTE: I'm calling the normal gendered crew the "original crew" from now on) original crew excluding the brothers and sisters, the sisters whom had fainted from fear and the brothers whom had fainted from exhaustion after all that hiking and saving, were currently sitting awkwardly on the table, the other crew sitting in their versions of their chairs.
"Erm, allow me to introduce ourselves... I'm Aviva, this is Koki and Jimmy, and the brothers are Chris and Martin." Aviva stated. Koki and Koukin just sat there, staring at each other with perplexity, while Jimmy and Jimmi both stood behind Koki/Koukin, not knowing what to make of the situation.
"Uh-huh... how do I know you guys aren't one of the villains in disguise?" Akiva challenged. Aviva looked to Koki, who shook her head, idea-less, and Jimmy, well, lets just say he didn't have the brightest ideas when panicked. Aviva sighed, feeling heat rise to her cheeks as she rose and walked over to her counterpart. She cupped his ear and whispered something, causing him to go stark red. The others looked on, confused.
"Okay. I believe you." He mumbled. The others looked on for a few seconds in silence. Eventually, both Koki and Koukin inquired at the same time:
"What exactly did you-" the started.
"NOTHING. END OF DISCUSSION." They both cried out at the same time. They all visibly winced. Aviva and Akiva both tried to shake off the memories.
"...Anyways... well, nice to meet you...sorta." Koki finished. The others agreed. However, the good feelings came to a pause as Aviva looked up to the Kratts' bedroom. Akiva caught on to her distance, and soon, so did the others.
"Whats wrong?" He asked. Aviva looked over to him.
"Nothings "wrong", I'm just wondering how the bros...and sisters... are going to fare once they wake up." Aviva stated. Akiva realized that the way they had them alone together probably wasn't the best way to have them introduced... but it wasn't like they could do much now, for they were probably going to wake up any minute now.
Not only was Akiva right, but it became even more awkward as how the brothers and sisters decided to position themselves in their sleep.
Kris and Marteen both snored as they faced each other and embraced, and Martin cuddled up with Chris, his face nuzzled into his wild brown hair. A rooster crowed loudly outside, and the four slowly woke up. They all were immediately awoken by each other, first by screaming at their siblings.
"AHHHH WHAT THE HECK MARTIN/MARTEEN?" "GAHH, I DON'T KNOW, I-" they all went dead silent, then they slowly turned to look at their counterparts.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed in sync.
"Not our brightest idea." Aviva noted. The others shook their heads in unison.
"Should we go up there?" Koukin asked. Akiva pondered.
"We SHOULD, but I think it would be much more interesting if we let them figure it out." Akiva replied. Jimmy, Jimmi, Koki and Koukin all snorted in suppressed laughter, soon Aviva and Akiva joined.
They were still screaming like bloody murder, but then Chris and Kris realized it was going NOWHERE. Through the screams, they shouted.
"STTTTTTOOOOOPPPPPP!" They yelled at the same time. Martin and Marteen stopped to look at them. Chris and Kris looked at each other in surprise.
"Now that THAT'S over... Who the HECK ARE YOU?" they cried out at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other again.
"Hey, cut that out!" They hollered again, meeting the same results. It was then that Martin and Marteen both began to snort in laughter.
"Don't you start, Martin/Marteen!" They growled at their siblings, but failed to speak out of unison yet again. Martin and Marteen lost it.
"AHH HAH HAH, JUST LISTENTO YOU GUYS! HAH HAH!" They cried out, they looked at each other as they had spoke together, and laughed harder.
"Stop it Martin/Marteen, it's NOT funny!" they were broken after that, and they joined their brothers as their bodies decided to laugh without their permission.
"Huh, interesting way of handling things. Should we go up now?" Akiva asked. Aviva nodded, and with that they all went up the stairs.
"So we're the same PERSON?" Chris and Kris said disbelievingly. They nodded. Martin and Marteen looked at each other suspiciously.
"Nahh, there no way you could be me!" they declared at the same time. They stopped and blinked in surprise. They both still didn't buy it, and crossed their arms and looked each other up and down. Suddenly, a gecko appeared out of absolutely NOWHERE, and hopped on Marteen's face, startling her and causing her to bounce out of her seat and fall to the ground.
"Toe-kay? Jeez, don't scare me like that little fella!" Marteen said, and took the creature off of her face. Martin looked at the gecko.
"Whoa, is that really you Toe-kay?" Martin said as he looked at the gecko. Something clicked in Marteen's mind.
"Hey, Martin, what did you name the aardvark, the draco, and the worm?" Marteen questioned. Martin looked over.
"Slurpy, Zippy and Pinky, why?" He asked, but then suddenly understood. Marteen's face lit up.
"You ARE me!" she cried out. She and him then began to list names.
"Maze, Plato, and Sweet Tweet!" Martin cried out.
"Gulpa, Blinker, and Blobby!" Came from Marteen.
"Chomp/Chompella, Crunch/Crunchita, Jaws/Jawsana, Munch/Munchette, Snapper/Snappifer, and Fred/Fredrica!" they cried out in unison, then promptly got confused.
"Huh? I though we changed it!" They stated. Akiva and Aviva laughed.
"Martin, Marteen, EVERYBODY has the other gender, not just humans!" Aviva told them. They blinked and looked at each other once more.
(NOTE: I'm not doing another line for each dialogue for this next exchange, since there's some many lines)
"Maxilla?" Martin asked. "Maxillo" Marteen answered. "Crocodillo?" she asked in return, and Martin replied with "Crocodilla." "Nubs?" "Nubsy." "Blur?" "Same" "Pounce more?" "Pouncy."
And that continued on until they were informed of every name difference. By then Chris and Kris were just sitting and waiting, while Jimmi and Jimmy piloted and Koki and Koukin worked the controls together, figuring what was and wasn't the same for themselves.
"He really is just like Marteen." Kris remarked. Chris laughed.
"Double the naming power now." he said amused. Kris giggled as more thoughts came to her.
"Oh gosh, doesn't this mean we'll have to deal with twice the craziness?" Kris asked. Chris soon laughed along, wondering what it was going to be like.
"These are going to be quite the creature adventures." Chris remarked. Kris laughed.
"Come on, boy-me, we aren't called Wild Kratts for nothing."
