HI!

Here's chapter 5!

DISCLAIMER! I don't own Wild Kratts.

Aviva left that Saturday, and Chris didn't know when he would see her again. Martin was sort of glad to have his brother back for himself, but he didn't like his brother this way, always down and glum. For Chris, his heart had shattered into a million pieces. It felt like his life had changed completely when he met Aviva. But now, life seemed gray, drably, and dry. I snowed that December 1st, and the Kratts were getting excited about Christmas. Martin could see his brother was starting to turn back to his normal self, but his wounds still weren't completely healed. Chris and Martin went Christmas shopping the week before Christmas. Martin got Dad a few new shirts, while Chris got Mom the small China set that she had wanted for a few months now. Chris and Martin were to meet at the entrance. Chris was walking back towards the mall entrance, when, it hit him! In the jewelry store, the most beautiful necklace he'd ever seen! It was a gold chain with an Amethyst stone in the middle.

Chris: Aviva would've looked beautiful in that.

Chris decided to get it, just in case Aviva came for Christmas.

Chris: (thinking) Yikes! That's a little pricy. I have the money, but I was saving up for that field journal for Martin. Maybe I…NO! Brothers first! But wait!

Chris walked into the jewelry store.

Chris: Excuse me? Can you put the necklace in the window on layaway?

Clerk: Probably. No one else has asked for it yet.

Chris: Good. I'll be back in three days. Can you hold it until then?

Clerk: Unless someone else takes it, sure.

Chris: Great! Thanks.

Chris walked out of the jewelry store, just as Martin was walking up behind him.

Martin: Um….what were you doing….in a jewelry store?

Chris: You'll see.

Chris had a sly smirk on his face, leaving Martin suspicious as they left the mall.

3 days later…

After 3 full days of shoveling , Chris walked back into the jewelry store, blisters and all.

Chris: Hi. I'm here for the necklace in the window.

Clerk: Oh, I'm sorry, we just sold it.

Chris: (Thinking) YOU WHAT?! It's sold?

Clerk: I just sold it to the gentleman over there.

Chris gasped.

Chris: ZACH!

Zach: Green Guy! What are you doing here?

Chris: That was mine!

Zach: Yours? I didn't know.

Chris: You knew! You bought it just so you could annoy me!

Zach: No, it's for my sister Hannah.

Chris: Oh.

Chris started walking away sadly.

Chris: (thinking) I was so close! That necklace was the perfect gift.

Zach: Chris! Wait!

Chris turned around, amazed. Zach had never called him by his name before!

Zach ran up behind him.

Zach: You…you were gonna buy this for Aviva, weren't you?

Chris: Yeah.

Zach: Here.

Zach handed Chris the necklace.

Chris: Zach, no. You bought it, you keep it.

Zach: No you. I bet Aviva will look better in it than Hannah ever would've.

Chris' eyes narrowed.

Chris: Are you playing a….

Zach: It's not a trick, I swear.

Chris: Well, here, at least let me pay you back.

Chris started pulling out the money in his pocket.

Zach: No need. It's fine. It's the Christmas season after all.

Zach started walking towards the exit.

Zach: Merry Christmas!

Chris couldn't believe what just happened. It was like Zach was a completely different person.

Chris: Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, modern version.

The days towards Christmas were being counted down.

The Kratt's Christmas tree was up, blinking festively.

It was Christmas Eve night, and everyone was off to bed early.

Chris looked out his bedroom window, and saw the Christmas Star outside on that clear night. It was to start snowing later that night.

As he pulled back his covers and laid in his bed with green sheets, he asked for one thing that Christmas, that Aviva would come home.

Chris woke up to his brother shaking him violently.

Martin: WAKE UP SLEEPING BEAUTY! WAKE UP!

Chris had his head covered by his light green pillow.

Chris: (groaning) MARTIN WILLIAM KRATT! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!

Martin: But Chris! Mom, Dad, Susan, and Christine are already downstairs around the tree. WE'RE WAITING ON YOU!

Chris: FINE!

Chris forced back his covers with a swipe of his hand, and the brothers in their green and blue PJs with matching slippers ran down the stairs.

Christine: Finally!

Susan: If we left you, we would've seen you Groundhog day.

Chris growled and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Everyone's wishes came true that day.

Mom got here China set, Dad got his work shirts, Christine got a new cell phone (it's like her third one), Susan got her eye shadow make up kit she had wanted for six months, Martin got his field journal, and Chris got a cool new pair of binoculars. Everyone was happy that day, and everyone got what they wanted, except one thing, Aviva didn't come.

Chris and Martin were outside later that afternoon, making a snowman, and sledding down the community park's hill. Martin ran on ahead, as Chris pulled the sled behind him. He past Aviva's home, and it was as empty as could be. Chris looked away sadly as he past. He could still hear Aviva's voice.

Aviva: Chris!

Chris just kept on walking, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him again.

Aviva: Chris Kratt!

Chris turned around, and saw a young girl with her black hair down, with her hair pulled back with purple ear muffs. She wore a purple coat with lavender gloves. All the purple, and Chris knew.

Chris: Aviva? AVIVA!

Aviva: CHRIS!

Chris ran to Aviva, as Aviva did the same, both with open arms.

When they reached each other, they hugged tightly.

Aviva: I really missed you!

Chris lifted her head.

Chris: I've missed you more than you'll know.

Aviva kissed him on the cheek, and went back to hugging him.

Martin was wondering what was taking Chris so long. He started walking back down the street, and saw Chris hugging Aviva.

Martin: Well well, what do ya know? You got your Christmas wish bro.

Martin was smiling ear to ear.

Chris: Oh! Aviva! I have something for you.

Chris reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small box. Aviva opened it and saw the necklace inside.

Aviva: Chris? It's beautiful!

Chris took it, and wrapped it around her neck.

Chris: I knew you'd look good in it.

Aviva: Thanks! Oh! I have something for you.

Aviva reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a green watch.

Chris: Thanks.

Aviva: I didn't know what you'd like, but when I saw this green watch, I figured it was for you.

Chris: Thanks again!

They hugged again.

Chris, although, didn't care about any gift he got that day, he was just happy to have his other half with him again.
