Hey everyone, it's me again! Okay, I have been mulling over this idea for quite a while now, and I think that it is high time I wrote it. Now time to do the disclaimer:
Me: So, are you excited for today's story today Martin?
Martin: *Just has his arms crossed and is refusing to answer.*
Me: Martin?
Martin: Still no reply.
Me: Chris! Martin is giving me the silent treatment!
Chris: * annoyed expression* What did you do now?
Me: Martin won't talk to me and he promised to do the disclaimer.
Martin: THAT WAS BEFORE I READ THE SCRIPT!
Me: Oh yah...you no like?
Martin: You are literally having me relive my
heartbreak again!
Chris: Wait what?!
Martin: Um...A.M.E.K. does not own Wild Kratts!
A.M.E.K.(Me): Uh yeah... Okay, on with the show
Hope you guys enjoy!!!
Chris: WAIT WHA-
"Note to self, when chasing hummingbirds solo, make sure that your brother didn't send the fly cam after you." Unfortunately, it was then when Martin remembered how bad his right ribs hurt after he fell off a tree branch when attemptingto chase after one,... and how much the crew had laughed, after making sure that he was okay first. "This is why I am the swimming brother, not that I have anything against climbing. Who knew chasing a hummingbird would be so hard? Oh wait...Koki did." That was when he decided that after a very busy morning a well deserved cup of coffee was in order. Luckily, he saw that Jimmy had just finished brewing a fresh pot in the main room of the tortuga.
"Don't mind if I do. Thanks J.Z." He said as he grabbed his favorite blue mug from the shelf on the wall. He was then doing his best to be careful as he poured himself a cup before taking a long sip."Now if I could only find a way to get back at Chris for that sneaky fly cam move. Hmmmm."
"Don't mention it, you and Chris are really going to need it in these coming days. Especially since he signed you up for a gig, in an upcoming charity concert event." Jimmy said very casually after taking a bite out of his chocolate chip cookie. Which was obviously from one of his grandma Jimina's recipes.
When the words that Jimmy had spoke finally clicked in his head Martin felt the coffee coming up his nose as he coughed. And boy did it sting!
"What are you talking *cough cough* about, and *cough* why didn't Chris *cough* mention it to me?" He tried to say as he kind of doubled over while trying to catch his breath. "So much for getting even." Martin sullenly thought.
"You mean he hasn't told you yet? Jimmy said as the realization finally dawned on him. "That's why he mentioned it very quickly." He silently thought.
"No! Just wait until I see that dear o'l brother of mine!" "Now I need to find an ice cube cold enough to numb those ideas from that brother of mine."
"I mean it is for a good cause. The person holding the event is willing to pay up to one million dollars to any charity for animals of you and Chris' choice." Poor Jimmy said timidly. To make matters worse he accidentally dropped his cookie!
"Oh, I probably shouldn't have raised my voice like that. It's not his fault that my brother is having one of those ideas of his." He silently thought. "It's alright Jimmy it's not your fault, and I am sorry for overreacting. How long have you known?"
"I found out with the rest of the crew earlier today." At Martin's confused expression he clarified. "Chris announced it to us when he was grabbing last minute items to put in his bag. Something about a hummingbird? It was before you..fell."
"Oh."
"OH!!! THATS WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE FLYCAM! That's also why he didn't follow after me right away. Man he is sneaky!" Martin thought. It was moments like these when he wished that he didn't get so easily distracted by creatures. "But it was a hummingbird!" He argued with himself. It did not help that it was a Royal Sunangel which was first described for science in 1979. In other words the rarest species of hummingbird.
"Hey bro! I see you finally got that cup of coffee you wanted. You must have really wanted it, it's all over your shirt." Chris said rather cheerfully and with a smirk on his face. Martin was trying to think of some kind of witty retort to say, as he watched Chris unpack the items in his bag. With one of those "items" being the fly cam.
"Why the nerve!!! First the that and now this?! No way am I going to do that concert, not in a million years, not even if he begs!"
"As hard as he might, Martin could not help but glare at his younger brother, Chris.
"Okaaay? Did I miss something? Chris said.
"Um, I think I will go make cookies now! J.Z said after glancing nervously between Martin and Chris a few times.
"Uh, bye!!! Then he was gone in a flash.
"When were you planning on telling me?" Martin
told him, not bothering to keep the frustration from his voice while his arms were firmly crossed.
"Oh, are you still mad about the whole fly cam thing? Chris couldn't help it he bursted into laughter. At Martin's dumbfounded expression he laughed even harder. "Oh Martin! I didn't hurt your feelings did I?"
"WHAT NO! THAT'S NOT EVE-
"Your pride then?
"No! The concert!"
Chris stopped laughing his expression going blank, except for the guilt written all over it.
"Um..Mind telling me how you figured it out?" He said rather embarrassed.
"Jimmy, ...Anyways, when were you planning on telling me?" Martin said feeling not quite hurt, but not exactly overjoyed either.
"Well I"- he sighed. "Your right I should of told you sooner." Chris unconsciously rubbed his neck with his left hand. At Martin's pointed expression he continued. "Right, I should of asked you before signing that contract with Mrs.Juliet Beauséjour"
