Four Leaf Clover | Wild Kratts

Chapter Thirteen - Not All Flowers and Sunshine

It got to the point where Aster sat on the table with a stern, contemplating expression. He rested his elbows on his knees and put the sides of his hands over his mouth.

"Clover...Clover...Clover..." was what he mumbled.

"I mean, you wanted to know."

"You could've—what?! You got thrown out a plane?! On purpose?! With no parachute?! And the other blue guy, um, Martin, could've gone flat like that cake I tried baking?!"

"You added baking soda instead of baking powder, but I guess so if you put it that way," Clover shrugs, unfazed.

"And I thought I was the adventurous sibling, but you...you're on a whole 'nother level...and I can't let that slide!"

"Wh-What?"

"Let me join the team! Just for a while! Like a trial!" He stands up and reaches his arms out.

"What?!" Everyone exclaims.

"Aster, being a Wild Kratt takes a lot of hard work," Koki chimes in.

"And you have a basketball game tonight. There's no way you can be a Wild Kratt in five hours," Clover reminds him.

"That can wait! I can play whenever I want. I'm sure y'all got a hoop 'round here," he walks around looks through the drawers and cabinets to which Aviva pushes him away from since that's where her secret blueprints, unfinished inventions, and the Creature Power Suit disconnector as she likes to call it that deactivated Martin's suit are located.

"Clover," Aviva gives her a look to deal with her nosy brother.

Clover pushes him back to where he was standing. "Look, if you really want to be a temporary Wild Kratt, uhh..." Clover tries to think of something to say. "Not even I think I'm on the team, so I don't know what makes you think it's easy to join," she quietly says.

"Wait, you're not even an official member? What are you doing here then?"

She looks back at the others watching the two of them talk. "It's...complicated, but the point is you have a busy schedule and you can't jump from place to place like when you were younger. You know that by now. Focus on the game. That should be your top priority right now. Got it?"

"But your job seems so much cooler! I want to be thrown out of a plane!"

"It's not as fun as it sounds..."

"Alright, team, Clover and I have made our final decision," Aster confidently approaches the group.

"Wait, what—?"

"Starting today, I'm going to be your new...uh...assistant coach!"

Everybody looks at Aster in utter confusion.

"...you can't be serious..." Jimmy says.

"Oh, but I am," Aster moves next to him and takes his pizza slice out of his hand and takes a bite moving back to the center.

"Hey!"

"And who's better to be your main coach than none other my dear sister?" He says while chewing bringing Clover next to him. She curls her mouth downward with her brother's greasy fingers from the pizza.

"Aster! We're wildlife experts! Not athletes!"

"Not yet you're not. A good, healthy body is needed to have lots of stamina exploring the world. Remember the time you, me, and Iris went jogging in the park and you'd always get tired before us? Now that I think about it, a jog around the park sounds like a good idea."

"Aster, we're not going to—"

Aster pulls out a whistle and blows it really loudly, making everyone jolt. "What are y'all waiting for? GO!"
