R&R?

Note: I actually had to make an equation I could SOLVE and I'm only in algebra so I'm sorry it's not really complicated! xD Just imagine it to be longer and harder!

"That was epic!" I exclaimed, out of breath. I had finally beat Chrystal at running! Yes! I might be able to beat her at climbing, too.

"The only reason you beat me was because I had to go over a huge rock!" Chrystal lied, folding her arms.

I looked outside into the pouring rain. "There is no rock."

"I tried!" Chrystal exclaimed.

Chrystal and I fell on the Tortuga floor laughing. We couldn't stop, and then our parents arrived and gave us these weird looks. We just laughed even harder until it wasn't funny anymore. But we kept laughing.

"Madi?" my mom asked. "What's so funny?"

"It's nothing," I replied, still laughing, but standing up.

"Inside joke," Chrystal added.

"Hey, Aviva, check this out!" one of the Chris-es exclaimed, pointing at the screen. I saw numbers, x's and y's.

"The formula?" Chrystal asked.

I shrugged. "No clue."

We sat on the circular table of the Tortuga and watched everyone else figure it out. I was pretty good at math and science and had pretty good handwriting, but social studies was my weak spot. I didn't really like most history (minus the history of animals/inventions). Stuff like the American Revolution I was glad for because we got independence, but I really don't care about the king's name/general names/presidents. Everyone in the history textbook's dead anyways!

"So, we're down to that..." My mom pointed at a really long math equation.

"Hey, why don't we start working on the formula?" Chrystal asked.

"Great idea! I've got a computer in my room!" I answered, dashing off to my room. It wasn't too messy (just an occasional book here and thee) and I cleared space off my desk. "What did it look like?"

"Um... I think 57x + 985 = 3405 + 2x?" Chrystal replied.

"Agh!" I exclaimed.

"Let's get cracking!" Chrystal exclaimed.

For hours Chrystal and I worked on the math equation, and we got it down to 55x + 985 = 3405. I was so sick of math it made my head hurt.

"Hey, I'm just curious, why do you want to get back to your world so fast?" I asked. "You sick of me already?"

Chrystal laughed. "No. It's just kind of... awkward... with two Avivas, Chris-es and Martins. Plus I have Chatterbox and my dad has Bullet."

"Oh, right," I replied.

"And," Chrystal added, "Jimmy's going to be mad if one of them steals his pizza."

We both laughed. Then we decided to take a break from the stupid math formula and talked about the website. Last updated by: Aviva. There was a page about Chrystal and the other dimension Kratts!"

"Hey, epic!" Chrystal exclaimed. "A page about us!"

I laughed and hovered over Kratt Crew. Aviva... Chris... Jimmy... Koki... Me! (There was also a page for Martin, but my name came first in alphabetical order. There was also a Wild Kratts Kids one, and recently Emma and Allie's names had been added to the list.) I clicked on my name, and my page pulled up.

"You were saying?" I asked, laughing. "I gotta make an edit."

In the Best Friends section, it had sections for Emma and Allie, giving their social media/about, and then I added a new section: Chrystal Kratt.

"Really? Aww!" Chrystal exclaimed. "Hey, can I type?"

"Sure!" I exclaimed, scooting over."

I watched as Chrystal typed. Chrystal Kratt, aka me, is from another dimension- see the Double Kratts! page. LOL Madi and I hang our where we can and were trying to solve a math equation. Haha.

"Short and sweet," Chrystal said, smiling. "Not too bad. EmmaAnnaleigh? I've heard of her! Emma Annaleigh Carson is a teen model in my world! And _alli3_? Allie Manyard? She's not really famous, just one of the Wild Kratts kids!"

"Any results for Madi Kratt in your world?" I asked, laughing.

"One: me!" Chrystal exclaimed, laughing along.

"Should we get back to the math equation?" I asked.

"I guess," Chrystal replied, rolling her eyes. "I don't like math as much anymore."

"Me either, but now algebra will be easy!" I exclaimed.

"So, we have 55x + 985 = 3405," Chrystal said, looking at the screen. "This is hard."

"I know," I replied. "Wait! What if we move it around and get... 3405 = 985 + 55x?"

"Then subtract 985..." Chrystal murmured.

"And get a one-step equation!" we both exclaimed.

We got 2420 = 55x. All that was left was to divide 2420 by 55. I felt like a genius! Wait until Emma and Allie heard! Madi Kratt's headed for the record books!

"And we get..." Chrystal began. "45?"

"No, 44," I replied.

"I thought the code last time was like 57689!" Chrystal exclaimed. "6 digits!"

"Maybe 000044?" I suggested. "What happens if we get it wrong?"

"Then we get it wrong and the code changes," Chrystal replied.

"How does it work, universe-jumping?" I asked.

"Well, we stand on the circular table of the Tortuga, and then someone punches the code into the computer, and we sort of get zapped to the other universe," Chrystal explained. "Not really much to that part. Getting here's harder. The code's the most important part. The sad part is I don't know if I'd ever see you again."

"I'll miss you," I replied. I thought about the time Chrystal and I had spent together. It was one of the most fun times of my life. I didn't want to go. "But didn't you say the code was hard to crack or something?"

"We must just be smarter then the average person," Chrystal shrugged. "I don't know. I may have exaggerated a little. I helped, and maybe something triggered my memory."

"Maybe," I replied. "Now do we turn in the code to the others or...?"

"I guess," Chrystal replied.

And we walked out of my room together, knowing that we may never see each other again.
