DISCLAIMER- I do not own Wild Kratts.

I hope you enjoy this story! Almost all the WK fanfics I write will all be in a "series" together, so to understand them, you'll need to read them in order. This is episode 2- Valentine's Day. This is a Caviva story, btw, so if you're a Caviva fan, enjoy! If you aren't a Caviva fan, enjoy!

(Srry, this was supposed to be out earlier, but I was moving and I had a friend over helping me, so this didn't come out as soon as I hoped, lol. Well, now to have your cliff hanger answered! :D)

Oh, and I know it's like nowhere near V-Day, but I did write this around that time! Just pretend! :3

Wild Kratts- Valentine's Day (episode 5)

Chapter- 5

The jet started to shake as it took off from the ground and soared over the mountain peaks.

"Okay, Aviva. Press my activation button, would you?" Chris asked.

"But you do't have an animal to touch." She said, confused.

"No, but I do have the feather! It's one of Screech's. It's in my back pocket."

"Oh!" Aviva used her elbow to press the button.

Chris started to change. He was forced into a standing position as the DNA alternation took place. As the green light faded, he was presented as a very funnily tied up, half human, half eagle creature.

He gave a little squawk of pain as he tried to slip his wings out of the rope. It was a painful task for the way he had to bend his wings to do so, but feathers were much easier to slip out of the ropes then hands were. He soon had his wings loose. He then used his beak to cut the rope fastening his legs, and his talons to undo the ropes tied around the rest of him. He used his beak to pick the locks, and his claws to pull the chains off. As soon as he was free of all ties, he went onto working on getting Aviva loose. Soon she was free too.

Donita just that moment had come in to check on her prisoners. She was in disbelief when she found then untied and Chris in an eagle creature power suit. "What?!" She exclaimed, wide-eyed and slamming her hand to her forehead.

Just seeing her made Chris angry. He could tell he was loosing control again. He looked down, trying to hide from it, but he soon could tell he wasn't him. He looked up at Donita, a malicious grin crossing his face. He slowly walked over to her, his long, sharp talons scraping against the hard floor of the pink jumbo jet. He stopped moving forwards, but still walked in a very slow circle around her. "You're familiar with needles and how sharp they can be." He said, noticing a sewing kit on the nearby table, a thumbtack resting next to it. "Well, how would you like to have eight, very sharp, very large needles sinking into your flesh and robbing the life right from you?"

Donita started to shake and back up in fear from Chris's threat. She turned around and ran when Chris lunged at her.

Aviva instantly ran right over, standing in front of Chris. "Calm down." She said in a whisper tone. She quickly pressed Chris's deactivation button so his threat involving his talons would fail. By now, Donita was at the head of the jet, probably ducking behind some chair or table. "You know this isn't you." She said, a kind, yet worried and scared shine in her eyes.

"I know..." He muttered, wrapping his arms around her. After a moments pause he asked "Why am I like this? I've never looked at bloodshed as being the answer before..."

Aviva let go of Chris and stared right into his eyes. "It's mostly because of these two things; One, the collar Zach put on you. It still has a slight effect on you because it was not taken off properly. It doesn't have mind control on you anymore, but it still has what the mind control could make you into. The second reason is your power suit. There are two kinds of malfunctions; One in the suit itself, and the other in the DNA of the wearer. When Martin's glitched, it was in his suit, so he's not aggressive, even though he too wore the collar. But yours was in your DNA. The glitch is still there, even though I deactivated your suit. When you take the wild animals behavior and combine that with what the collar did to your DNA, you get bursts of rage, especially if you are wearing an activated power suit." Aviva concluded.

"I don't want to be like this..." Chris said, shaking his head as his eyes began to water.

"I'm going to try to fix you when we get back, I promise." Aviva said, her storm gray eyes sparkling with sympathy.

If almost on cue, a sudden clang sound came from the jet's metal door as blue claws pierced through it. Then the door went flying off, revealing Martin in eagle powers.

"Martin!" Both Aviva and Chris excitedly exclaimed at the same time.

Chris gave Aviva a side glance, then was engulfed by green light. He reactivated into his eagle form. "Now that we have a way out of here, hop on Aviva." Chris lowered so she could ride him. (A/N: Not awkward, i'm sure you'd all do it too if you had to escape and the other person had no wings).

When she first got on, Chris slammed to the floor under her weight, but with some help from Martin, he was standing again.

"What about Donita?" Martin asked just before jumping out the door.

"I have a feeling she wont return any time soon... I sorta threatened to kill her..." Chris replied a little hesitantly.

And with that note, Martin leaped out the door. Chris was right behind him.

...

"They're back!" Koki threw her hands up in the air with joy.

A blue eagle and a green eagle carrying a girl, landed on the cliff.

Aviva jumped down. Koki ran over and gave her a 'welcome back' hug.

"I'm glad you dudes are back." Jimmy said.

"Glad we're back too." Martin said, catching his breath.

"And I'll be glad once we're home." Aviva said.

"Let's go then." Koki said. "You can ride with me, Aviva."

"Okay." Aviva climbed on the bug bike after Koki.

...

The sun was now rising, casting a golden glow upon the rocky landscape. On the flight home, Chris couldn't take his eyes off of Aviva. Only when he almost crashed into a rock did he do so.

Jimmy road his buzz bike up next to Chris. "Hey CK. Whacha looking at?" He tried to follow Chris's gaze.

Chris jumped and almost lost his balance. "Oh, I um, the sun reflecting off their bike." Which it kind of was, but he didn't mind. "Just not wanting it to blind me, heh heh..." He could feel himself blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh..." Jimmy obviously didn't believe him, but didn't pressure him with anymore questions, realizing how awkward the topic was making Chris feel.

Chris turned his head away, trying to hide his embarrassment. He didn't look at Aviva for the rest of the flight home.

...

They had finally reached the Tortuga. The buzz bikes were safely put away in the garage, and Chris and Martin were fully human again. As they all were going in, Chris stopped Aviva.

"What's up?" Aviva asked.

Chris rubbed the back of his neck then hesitantly said "I-I think we should tell the crew that we are dating... I mean, Martin already knows, and it won't be long until the rest find out. And I think it would spare them their feelings if we told them instead of them discovering it on their own. We won't have to be secretive about it anymore."

"I think you're right..." Aviva agreed, to Chris's surprise. They stood there for a moment then silently walked up the ramp leading into the Tortuga.

"Hey, I'm going to bed. We were up all night and-

"Wait... One thing first..." Chris glanced at Aviva. "Aviva and I... we're... dating..."

Jimmy and Koki just stared at them blankly while Martin was smiling. Chris and Aviva just stood there feeling really awkward, waiting for someone to comment on what Chris had just said.

Finally Jimmy did so. "So you, and Aviva. You're dating?" He asked.

"Eh, yeah..." Chris replied.

Koki didn't say anything, her expression was unreadable.

After another moment of silence, Jimmy smiled and said "Well I happy for you too." He said.

"Me too." Koki agreed, a smile finally lighting up her face.

"But I'm still going to bed..." Jimmy awkwardly turned away to his room.

Everyone nodded their heads and mumbled their agreement. Soon everyone had gone to bed, except Chris and Aviva.

Chris finally sighed. "Well, I guess that's done. They don't seem upset or anything at least."

"I'm sure they'll get used to it." Aviva said, looking up at Chris.

He looked back at her. "Well, I guess we should go to bed, too." He leaned down and gave her a goodnight-peck-on-the-cheek.

...

"Hey." Koki said, unenthusiastic when Aviva came in.

"Hey." Aviva replied.

"How long have you been dating?"

"Oh about a month..."

"Oh. And one more thing. I'm glad for you and Chris. I may not seem it, I'm just tired. Well, g'night." Koki climbed into her bed.

"Night." Aviva said, feeling a little relieved that Koki was glad for them. Aviva climbed into her bed as well, falling into an uneasy sleep.

Epilogue

It was the next day. Things between the crew were starting to die down now.

Now they all sat on top of the Tortuga and waited together in excitement. What they had been waiting for since they first arrived was now starting.

Two bald eagles circled the sky, getting higher and higher with every slow loop they made. They flew together in unison, copying each other's moves, flying away in time, then soaring back towards each other. They looked like reflections of each other, even matching each wing beat. Flying right at each other, they reached their talons out, twining their claws together. Then letting their wings go limp, they plummeted towards earth, never letting go of each other. They spiraled down, down, down. They were about to crash right into the rock, but they then released talons, pulling up at the very last moment. the performance was spectacular.

"Oh, I'm so happy for Screech and Chirp!" Martin exclaimed. The rest of the crew nodded their agreement, to stunned by the life and death show the eagles just put on, to say anything else.

"They are just so beautiful." Aviva whispered, leaning into Chris while they watched the two eagles fly away, side by side.

"That they are." Chris agreed. "And so are you." He added. Their hands were held just as tightly as the eagles talons had been locked, only moments ago.

The crew watched as the spectacular birds flew away together, ready to start a new life together.

The end! I hope you enjoyed it! I have many other stories halfly written, but I think I'm going to do two or three short stories in between talking about what happened while Chris and Aviva were dating in secrecy. (The two I want to do include Gourmand in one, and Alex Moize, a new villain, in another). So the next story won't be out for like... a week maybe... while I come up with it. Sorry this one took forever to come out, btw. I sayz why at da tops. R&R! :3
