Zach woke up to the call alert, which went off early the following day. He grouchily climbed out of bed and went out of his room to the dashboard. He sat in his chair and pushed the button to answer the call, and an image of Chris Kratt appeared on the screen.

"What do you want?" Zach asked, yawning.

"Can we meet up, Zach? We need to talk," Chris asked, and Zach frowned.

"Why?" Zach asked, looking through the windshield at the waterfall before them. He had landed here because he knew Junior would want to go fishing or play in the water.

"I want to talk about Junior," Chris said, drawing Zach's attention back.

"Fine, meet me on top of the waterfall to the east of you in an hour," Zach said and hung up. He took a shower and fixed his bedhead before returning to the jet's little kitchen area. He made some breakfast and placed it on an invention to keep the food at the same temperature it was in there so that Junior didn't have to use the microwave.

By the time he was done, it was time to meet Chris. He went to the dashboard and turned the ship around so the back was facing the waterfall, so if Junior came out, he could see him. He wrote a note saying he'd be back soon and ordered the Zach bots to protect Junior.

He got on his floating platform and flew to the top of the waterfalls. He got there just in time to see Chris exiting the bush. He sat at the edge of the platform, which hovered a few inches off the ground.

"I'm here, so talk," Zach said.

"Why didn't you tell me about him?" Chris asked, and Zach laughed.

"You said to forget, so I did. You wanted nothing to do with me; why would you want anything to do with my child?" Zach asked, and Chris nodded in understanding.

"I want to be a part of his life," Chris said, and Zach looked up at him curiously.

"Please, Zach, I want to meet him officially. I don't want him to go up thinking I never wanted him." Chris pleaded, and Zach sighed.

"Fine, he wants to meet you too," Zach told him, and Chris's face lit up.

"Really?" Chris asked.

"You're his hero and the reason he wanted to come here. He finally got his Wild Kratt team member card." Zach said, smiling.

"Really?" Chris asked, and Zach nodded.

"Can...Can you bring him to lunch around one?" Chris asked hopefully.

"Fine, I'll bring him," Zach said as his watch beeped. Zach looked down at the shop and saw Junior coming outside.

"I have to get back before he runs off and gets himself into trouble; he's like you that way," Zach said, standing and floating back up to the jet.
