I didn't have anyone to spend New Year's Eve with, and I am super depressed with how 2021 ended for me, so I decided to live vivaciously through Violet and the Wild Kratts Villains and write what I thought a New Year's Eve with them would look like. I guess they are my new friends…

This was supposed to be a small one shot inspired by a post about the cuddle patterns of the Wild Kratt villains made by charliethecandyeater on tumblr. She graciously gave me permission to write stories about Zach and Violet cuddling in the ways she described (her content is great if you want to check it out!), so let's give a huge shout out to her! Thank you!

This story will contain mild to explicit language throughout, implied sexual content, alcohol consumption, overdrinking, and implied alcohol abuse/ alcoholism. Warnings for such content will be displayed at the beginning of each chapter. In this chapter, for example, we see implied sexual content (very mild dirty thoughts), alcohol consumption, and implied alcohol abuse/ alcoholism.

I do not own Wild Kratts, but I love playing in the sandbox the Kratt Brothers created. Thank you for this great universe, Kratt Bros!

"I ain't got time for you baby, either you're mine or you're not

Make up your mind sweet baby, right here, right now's all we got

A little party never killed nobody, so we gon' dance until we drop

A little party never killed nobody, right here, right now's all we got…"

-A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got); By: Fergie, GoonRock, and Q-Tip-

"Hey Zach? Can I ask you something?" I fidgeted with the sleeve of my sweater.

"I guess, what is it?" He mumbled; he was hard at work repairing the Zachbots that had been destroyed during his last run in with the Kratt brothers.

His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his pale forearms, and sweat dripped down his forehead, making me feel weak-kneed.

'Calm yourself, Violet, get your head out of the gutter,' I hissed internally, turning my attention back to my sweater.

"Could we have a New Year's Eve party? My parents and I always had New Year's Eve parties before they died, but after they passed, Amy never let me go to one or have one. I thought we could invite Donita, Dabio, Gourmand, Paisley, and Rex. Just us villains…"

"Yeah, whatever," Zach responded, "could you leave me alone now?"

"Sure, thank you Zach!" I skipped out of the room, sending the group text I had composed to all our villain friends.

"Yeah, yeah…" He turned back to his work, and I knew he had not really paid attention to me, but I made sure to tell the Zachbots to record his response for when he flipped his lid and tried to back out of what he had agreed to.

VvvvvvVvvvvvV

"I agreed to WHAT!" Zach exclaimed, jumping off the couch and facing me.

I played the video of him confirming that we could have the New Year's Eve party, and Zach sank to the couch with his head in his hands.

"This is not going to end well; WE CAN'T have everyone together, NOT NOW!" His shrill voice had an edge of fear to it.

"Why not, Zach? You promised me. What has changed your mind, what is going on?" I demanded.

He looked at me with large watery eyes, but seeing the concerned look on my face, he immediately scrunched them shut, and said, "NOTHING, have the party, but get alcohol, lots of it, I'm going to need it."

VvvvvvVvvvvvV

I happily greeted Donita, Dabio, Gourmand, Paisley, and Rex as they entered Zach's headquarters.

"You're chipper today," Zach commented with a small smirk; I noticed he held a glass of wine in his hand.

"Don't overdo it, Zach," I whispered, touching his arm.

His expression softened and he grazed his fingers across my hand for a few seconds, "I'll try my best."

"Thank you," I replied before our conversation was interrupted by Gourmand's booming voice, Zach immediately pulled his hand away.

"Mmm, Miss Violet, something smells deeelicious!" Gourmand said as he came up to me and slung his arm around me. He patted my shoulder with his large hand, earning a hateful look from Zach.

"Thank you, Gourmand. I just made some snacks and finger foods; I'm guessing you're ready to try them?"

"Mmm-hmm, sugar! You know how much I enjoy your southern cooking." He removed his arm from me and rubbed his hands together, licking his lips.

"Can you ask the Zachbots to serve the food, Zach?" I turned to him to see that his hand which held the wine glass was shaking slightly, his other hand was balled into a fist.

I realized that Zach's gaze was fixated on Gourmand, I looked between them, confused as to what Gourmand had done wrong. I shrugged it off and repeated my request, "Zach, did you hear me? I asked if you could ask the Zachbots to serve the food."

He snapped out of his trance and nodded, "Zachbots! Serve the food!"

This story really got out of hand, and it is now a multi-chapter monster. But I guess that is not a bad thing! I have 7 chapters total planned, four of which are written and edited (and I will be posting today), two are in the editing process, and one is still being written. So expect some additional updates on this very soon!

I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter, please let me know what you think!
