Hi, guys!

1) I'm back!

2) You probably hate me.

3) I'M REALLY SORRY!

Yes, like in the description, it does have the Loch Ness Monster in it... and you can thank my family this time because we were talking about it at the dinner table once. I thought, "OMG! What an amazing fanfic that'd be."

R&R?

Leilani's POV

Darkness. Everything is dark. But I know who I am: Leilani Corcovado-Kratt, Queen of the Wild. I don't know how long I've been here in the darkness, though. All I can think about is my family: Chris Kratt, Aviva Corcovado-Kratt, Martin Kratt, Candice Jones... and the mysteries I left behind. I have so many questions. Am I dead? Is this like the Underworld from Percy Jackson? Valhalla from Magnus Chase? Is Candice engaged to Martin? What happened to Zach? Are Chris and Aviva alright? What happened after I died or whatever? (What did the gossip magazines say?)

I finally see something- a golden light. I have no idea what it means for me, but I think I'm dead. I run towards it, hair flying behind me, like in a dream. I see a flash of light when I enter the golden light, and it's a throne room. The woods are into view behind the throne. But now that I see it, I realize it's in the woods. The sides are open, and a red carpet leads up to the throne. I walk slowly down the carpet, and then realize my clothes have changed.

Instead of what felt like comfortable clothes, I now have a dress on. It's long, with two straps on the edge of my shoulders. Green leaf-like lace makes up the top over a white under-fabric. My shoes are heels, although I can't tell what color. The dress comes to the ground, and is flow-y: when I spin, the dress also sort of spins on its own. I like it. Maybe I'm going to meet the Queen of England!

I touch my hand to my head, where I feel a tiara. I know what this is: the Queen of the Wild tiara Alessandra gave me when she disappeared in ghost form. I walk down the red carpet, hands at my sides. I'm a queen too, so do I have to curtsy? I guess I'll do so out of respect. I walk forward, but I forget all about curtsying when I see the lady on the throne.

Alessandra Richardson. My mom. That confirms it! I'M DEAD.

"A- A- A- Alessandra?" I ask. "Uh, I mean mom."

She laughs and smiles. "Hello, Leilani. Alessandra is fine. You're probably wanting an explanation, aren't you?"

"Ya think?" I reply.

"Okay, okay. Well, I'm truly Mother Nature, which makes you Queen of the Wild. I chose the name Alessandra and came to Earth as a baby, just like you. I grew up as a normal child, but I still knew I was Mother Nature. I couldn't control nature while as Alessandra, and it just happened... well, naturally. I knew that Ian and I were meant to be and would die together- I can see the future of nature and other things. I knew the day would come when Zach would kill the animals, so I read that story to you every night." Alessandra/Mother Nature smiles. "Any questions?"

"If I'm Queen of the Wild, then what was Marcy?" I ask. "And am I like some element of nature or something? And where's Ian/dad?"

"You mean me?"

I turn around and find Marcy, smiling, in a light blue dress and a tiara, too. It's a princess dress- long and poofy. The top looks like Elsa's dress from Frozen. (It's adorable. I'm jealous.) Her tiara is many shades of blue, like the sky. We hug, and she still looks younger then me. I've missed her so much.

"I can answer that," she replies. "I'm the queen of the weather. You know, rain and shine and all that stuff. Snow. Like Queen Elsa. You are just the wild. Like, the animals and stuff. Right, mom?"

"Right." Alessandra says, stepping off the throne. "Ian is and was a normal human. You're also not technically dead, but not alive either. I know it's weird."

"Can I go back?" I ask. "I have to see them again."

"To Earth?" Alessandra looks over at me, and the scene changes. We're on a space station looking down at Earth. "Well, you can go back."

"What's the catch?" I raise an eyebrow. "I can't know the Wild Kratts? I can't be Leilani anymore?"

"No catch." Alessandra smiles, putting her arm on my back. "Well- one, I guess. You won't come back to life within three seconds- at least a month after. You can go back as Leilani, Queen of the Wild, though."

"Send me back!" I exclaim. "Like, now!"

I have to get back! I think. Chris! Aviva! Martin! Candice! I'll get to see them again! See if Koki actually has a crush on Martin. See if Candice and Martin are engaged. See if Chris and Aviva are back to normal. See what happened to the entire crew. I can't wait! OH MY GOD!

"You're not happy here?" Marcy asks, walking forward a little. "You can make it anywhere you want. Here, I mean. A beach... a forest... whatever you want."

I sigh, and realize my comment sounded selfish. "I mean, I do, and it's amazing here with you, but... I kind of miss my old life. I miss the adventures with the Wild Kratts. I love you, though."

"I know." Marcy hugs me. "It's okay. Try not to die again. We'll be watching."

I laugh. "No promises. Can I talk to you in the mortal world?"

I decide to call it like that. They called it Muggle world in Harry Potter, and mortal world in Percy Jackson. It just seems better.

"Yeah... no." Marcy sighs. "Sorry."

Alessandra places a gold necklace with a green charm on me. It looks like nature, and I swear I can see a tiny forest in the green charm. "This is goodbye. We'll be watching."

"Bye! I love you!"

And those are my last words before I teleport out. I can hear them saying they love me too, and I feel like the luckiest girl on Earth. Then there's a bright flash of light, and I shut my eyes.
