The green and blue guys walk Clover to a giant, teal airship that resembles a turtle. She sees three more people behind a giant board. They walk down the ramp to them.
Clover tries not to worry. She doesn't know if she's in trouble or not. Was she on private property this entire time? She researched ahead of time for this location and found no such thing. Could the details have been updated since then?
"Who's this?" The girl in the yellow jacket asks.
"That's what we wanna know," the green one before turning to Clover.
The attention was on her now. Years of formal introductory practice from her older sister braced her for a moment like this.
"My name is Clover Hallows and I am an aspiring botanist," she greets nearly robotic-like. She tensed up.
The group exchange confusing looks. The one in blue approaches Clover and gently shakes her shoulders left to right.
"Are you a Zachbot?"
"A what?"
"Martin..." the girl in the red shirt facepalms.
"Was my introduction that bad...?" Clover mumbles to herself. "Um, wait, let me start over," she takes a deep breath and extends her hand. The blue one backs away.
"I'm Clover Hallows and I'm a botanist! I came out here to learn more about the wonders of different environments. I love nature and what it has to offer, especially plants. I like recording my findings in my journal here," she introduces more naturally and sets her backpack down to take out her journal.
The girl in the yellow jacket opens it. The others huddle around her as she flips through a couple of pages.
"Hey, these are pretty good," the guy with red hair compliments.
"Thank you," a small piece of paper slips out.
Clover notices and reaches to grab it, but someone picks it up before her: the guy in green.
"This fell out," he observes. It turns out to be a picture. "Who are these people? Is this your family?"
"Yep. That's me, my sister, my brother, and my parents," she points out to who's who.
It's a smaller version of the Hallows family portrait. Iris, Clover, and Lilian are dressed in fancy, black dresses with their hair and makeup touched up while Aster is wearing a navy blue suit and Samuel is wearing a regular, but elegant tuxedo. The blue-wearing blonde guy takes the photo to see for himself.
"Hey—!" The green one frowns.
"Your family looks very serious," he says.
"The theme was chosen by my sister. It honestly suited us a lot better than I thought."
"Is your family important by any chance?"
She lightly scoffs. "Well? Have you ever heard of 'Hallows Floral Decorum'?" Everyone's eyes widen.
"Wait a minute, you're one of the Hallows siblings?" The red-wearing girl gasps what everyone's thinking. Clover nods.
"Now, now, don't think I haven't seen you all before. You seem so familiar," she taps her finger on her temple.
"We're the Kratt Brothers!" The blue and green duo cheer.
"And the Wild Kratts crew," the rest of the group introduce themselves.
Clover's jaw drops. "THAT'S RIGHT!!" She starts to recognize them even better and remember their names. She unknowingly extends her arms. She catches her loud tone of voice. "Oops. Sorry about that," she nervously smiles, scratching the back of her head.
"I've heard all about you! Well, mainly the brothers, but you all are huge inspirations for us."
"Us? Aw, shucks," Jimmy gushes.
"We look up to you all the time. From your intricately detailed bouquets," Aviva starts.
"To your comforting, aromatic oils," Jimmy chimes in.
"And don't even forget about that limited edition environmentally-friendly perfume line. That was genius! I bought like, three bottles at one point," Koki smiles.
"And it surprisingly smelled good," Jimmy raises his eyebrows, giving a thumbs up.
"I'll have to keep this feedback in mind," Clover takes her journal back and starts writing.
"She's writing about us! She's writing about us!!" Jimmy excitedly shakes Aviva's shoulders.
"Why don't you take a seat inside, Clover?" Chris gestures to the Tortuga.
"Oh, if that's fine with everyone else?" She looks at the others. They all nod. "I don't see why not, then," she smiles.
