Dinotopia The TV series: Novelization

by Mysticgohan88

Disclaimer: Well, It's been quiet sometime since I last touched this project. I firstly wanted to apologize to my reviewers if your still there, since I did promise the sequel to the first one I did. I'm going to keep that promise now by producing the Dinotopia sequel. If those are still waiting for it, then your patience is about to pay off.

Firstly, I wish to address that their we'll be significant changes in this fan fiction. Similar to the TV series, I'm going to make changes that were in the movie, and address some of them now. The characters ages are going to be altered, as well as some of the personalities from the movie. Some main characters shall be minor and some minor characters shall become recurring ones.

Kenneth Scott, the character I addressed at the end of my last fanfic; I've decided shall not be in this frantic. Mainly because I already have many minor and original characters that are set up, and I can't use to many. Plus, this story is partly about Jake testing himself like in the last fanfic. Continuity shall be addressed and I'm always open to ideas.

Original episodes shall be made, although they we'll be put in as in-between episodes so you won't see them for awhile till the main episodes are taken care of first. If anyone also has an idea for an original episode involving the characters I produce, then please feel free to share it with me. I'm always open minded about ideas.

Jake Scott, I admit was a Gary Sue in the first one. He only seemed to be there for the sake of being there. I'm going to do my best to change that in this fanfic and make him have more of a major role. I'm grateful that some of you pointed out of him being an eyesore, and I agree that he was. My writing has improved abit so I'm going to do my best to change that.

Like in the TV series, different actors shall potray the characters. Erik Von Detten as Karl Scott, Shiloh Strong as David Scott. To imagine Jake Scott, just think of a teenaged Jesse McCartney with black hair. All the characters of this fanfic shall be based off their TV counterparts.

Well, that all for the note for now. Without further ado; the first chapter of Dinotopia The TV series!

Chapter 1: Recap and new beginnings part one

Karl Scott snapped awake, his eyes widened as he sweated profusely. He quickly ran a nervous shaky hand through his dirty blonde hair, as his teal eyes looked around widely. The nineteen year old panted heavily at the remembrances of the dream he had. Hearing his half brother David, asking what had happened; he shook his head as he relayed the stimulating illusion of his mind. "Oh man, I just dremnt that you, me and Jake were in this plane with Dad. We hit this thunderstorm and we...crashed into the sea".

He shivered as he spoke what he had saw next that sent chills down his spine. "We all then ended up on this island. It was full of people and..and dinosaurs" he explained. He expected David to start laughing right away, as he glanced over at his half brother. He seemed to be accepting of this so far, as he nodded quietly; urging him to tell more.

"Dinosaurs that spoke English. Oh man, it was so strange. You were a pilot" added a shocked Karl. The thought of David Scott, his nerd of a brother; a pilot! When he spoke this though, he failed to notice David's concerned face shift to one of smug amusement. "You flew on these flying dinosaurs, and I was given this little baby dinosaur to look after" he explained.

Before he could finish his tale, he heard a small honk at his. Looking over the side of his bed, he stared at the playful Chasmosaurus called Twenty Six. Looking up, Karl shook his head as he moaned "Oh man".

"That all actually happened" he told himself in embarrassment.

One month ago, the Scott boys which comprised of wealthy father, Frank Scott. His three sons; Karl, David and Jake Scott, had all decided to take a nice day of island hopping. However, whilst flying over the Caribbean, the flew into an electrical storm and crashed landed on Dinotopia; an island that couldn't be found on any map. Frank seemed to have been lost in the crash, whilst the sons spent several weeks on the island.

It was there that they had discovered a plot to destroy the island by the villainous Cyrus Crabb, son of the bitter explorer; Lee Crabb. The sunstones, the sacred stones that kept the cities safe; had gone out and it was up to the boys to find a solution. Teaming up with the mayors daughters, they had been able to retrieve hundreds upon hundreds of sunstones, as well as recovering their supposedly dead father. They had been hailed as heroes whilst Waterfall city cheered for their return.

That had all been a month ago, and ever since then; they had all been living at Zippeau Stegosaurus's place, at least till they could get a place of their own.

"Karl, David...c'mon are you boys awake yet or what? Get up, its late" called out a noticeable, Bronx accent. Entering the room, was the boys forty three year old father, Frank. He stared with amused brown eyes at the two boys as he shook his slightly messy, brown hair. "Sides, Zippeau is preparing one of his delicious breakfasts" he informed with fake amusement.

"Oh god, our heroes are awake. Seaweed pancakes are today" informed the cheerful troodon as he looked at the three mammals happily. Zippeau had a hard time dealing with the three boys when they first came to the island since they had done nothing but argue and bicker. It seems that after saving the island, and find there missing father had helped lighten their moods.

"Mmm, my favorite" Frank said sarcastically. Looking at the troodon, he remarked "You know, you keep spoiling us like this Zippeau, your gonna have a hard time getting us of your..hair..umm..scales...whatever".

"Please Frank, its great having you here. It gets so lonely living alone and with you here, we have so much time for our footprint language lessons" informed Zippeau, oblivious to Franks unenthusiasm.

As Zippeau left the room, Frank said "C'mon get up. Jakes been up for a few hours now on his delivery assignments with Backstop".

David watched his dad leave before he scratched the back of his curly, messy brown hair. "So uhh this, dream you were talking about" he asked with heavy sarcasm, as Karl just simply shrugged in annoyance before he slumped his head down in misery.

"Samantha, I need to get going" Jake said in between there passionate kissing. He was quickly silenced as he felt Samantha's lips touch his as he found himself unable to do nothing but lean into the kiss.

"Just a few more minutes Jake" Samantha quickly responded as she brought him closer into her kisses. Jake was so dedicated to his job that he did for Waldo, that she figured he needed a reward.

The two sixteen year olds, both completely nude; kissed passionately in the hot springs near Viadbba earth farms. Jake had managed to complete his delivery to the earth farm, and was now going back to inform Waldo Syville the good news, when he and his triceratops buddy Backstop; had bumped into Samantha Syville and her pterranadon partner, Dive-bomber.

Jake hummed softly, as he gently rubbed his neck against Samantha's as he gently kissed her neck. For most of his life, Jake had only one thing on his mind: to be the number one fighter in the world. The next Bruce Lee he liked to call it. So as one could imagine, he completely focused on training his body and never really seeking out female companionship. That was until he met the wild, Samantha Syville. It was like his yin to his yang. Finally completely as he had found his lover.

If one was to find out that Samantha was the younger sister of Marion, one would not believe it. Samantha seemed like the complete opposite of her! She didn't care about wanting to be a matriarch like her sister, she never attended her sessions with her sister to become one. She was fascinated with he outside world, and wanted only to have nothing but fun! Which was why when Jake Scott first stepped into the Viadbba earth farm a month ago, she felt like she had found her other.

The two had only stared out as friends as he spent time there, working with Karl in the fields and helping the other students. But she noticed Jake felt out of place, and not good enough to be there since he was an offworlder. The two had begun to develop feelings for each other, but what made their relationship possible; was when Jake went on a suicide mission to the Blackwood flats to get the cure to a life threatening disease that Samantha had caught. It had been a success, and the two were now lovebirds!

Jake melted under her touch as she gently nibbled his ear, as he felt himself become weak in the knees. "She' fine and wild! Heh, I'm glad that she's also intelligent and not like those dumb bimbos that Karl dated back home" he thought as he rubbed his cheek against hers.

Samantha smiled, as she playfully kissed his cheek several times before wondering how her life might have been if Jake never showed up. Before he arrived, she was just like Marion. Perfect, no-nonsense and never thought about anything but becoming a matriarch. True, Marion was more open minded and questioning, but she still seemed like the perfect girl. "Heh heh, not me" Samantha thought happily. If Jake had never arrived, she doubted she'd have gained the courage to act out and be how she wanted to be!

Jake in the midst of their love making, glanced up at the skies to look at the sun. He then noticed its position as he immediately backed away from Samantha's in a panic! "We need to go right now" Jake cried out as he climbed out of the hot springs, exposing himself accidentally to the two dinos. "Oh shut up, your naked all the time" Jake pointed out to Backstop who cringed in disgust at Jakes nakedness as he struggled to wipe himself down.

Samantha looked up at the sun, as she realized what time it was. Jake was right! They had to get back right now! Jake was due back to Waterfall city an hour ago! Her father knew that they had feelings for each other, strong feelings. But he didn't know that the two were umm..taking it to the next level. Cleaning herself down, she said "If dad finds out about this..".

"Then I'll probably be chased out of the city by an angry mob, with pitchforks and torches" Jake finished for her, as he through his clothes on. Now decent, Jake looked at Backstop. "Can you" he stated.

"Get back to waterfall city on my own, yeah yeah" Backstop sighed as the triceratops nodded in understanding. Watching the two lovers climb onto Diver bombers back, he grinned "Hope you don't get found out".

"Oh yeah, you're a real pal" Jake sarcastically mutter red in annoyance as Dive-bomber took off into the skies, racing towards Waterfall city at high speed!

"The windmills at Bas ruins is almost finished" informed Rosemary Syville, wife of the mayor of waterfall city and matriarch of Vidabba earth farm. Her golden blonde hair, swayed as she gently put another flag on the map of dinotopia in the council room of the mayors home. The thirty-seven year old watched as her husband moved another flag on the map.

"Good, once they're done, we can send them straight out to Firiah to repair the water pumps there" informed Waldo Syville, as he put a hand to his bearded chin. The forty year old rubbed his chin as his wife informed about there still being so much to be rebuilt, and how many others aren't in their homes yet. "We're getting there, the failure of the sunstones was a disaster when the power to keep the T-rexes at bay were lost".

When a month ago, the prime sunstone had gone out; all the other sunstones then went out. Leaving the island exposed to being attacked by the carnivores who wanted entrance into killing them all. Waldo had admit tingly, made the foolish mistake of putting the Scott brothers under arrest since he blamed them for its failure. Had they not escaped and brought back the stones...none of them would probably be alive at the moment. He, as well as the island of dinotopia; owed the Scotts a life debt.

"The skybax are still on schedule aren't they" asked a curious Rosemary, referring to they're somewhat air force, comprised of pilots and Pterranadons.

"Yes, all the villages and outpost should have their sunstones running up by the end of the day" informed Waldo. When he heard his wife ask if the Outsiders got through safely, Waldo turned and gave her a sarcastic look of disgust and contempt at the mention of the Outsiders. "I'm sure Quatron and his merry band of savages are fine. They're used to having T-rex running amok all over the place".

"When they're not hunting them that is" Rosemary finished.

"Quiet, we can't ever let this happen again" Waldo informed, as he gently kissed his wife before pulling away to see her smile.

"Don't worry darling. Thanks to Franks and the boys, we've got enough sunstones to last forever" she smiled. Hearing her eldest daughter Marion enter, she watched as she hurriedly went past her, grabbed an orange and quickly kissed her father on the cheek as she said her goodbye.

"Odd, I don't ever recall Marion using that much lipstick before" Waldo noted, as he wiped the smear from his cheek.

Suddenly, Jake and Samantha entered the room, both out of breathe and their clothes in somewhat of a mess. Jake looked up as he noticed the startled Waldo by their appearances. Since his family was best friends with the mayor now, and cause he helped save the city; he didn't need an appointment to see Waldo. "Heya Waldo, I uhh...was able to deliver the letter to Vidabba" Jake informed as he tried to quickly straighten his clothes out.

Surprised by their sudden appearances, Waldo asked "They were alright that they're new sunstone would be slightly late today".

"Yes sir, they said they'll be fine since they have plenty of protection now" Jake informed. Ever since he had helped save the city and island, the third code of DInotopia: "Weapons are our enemies, even to their owners", had been altered to "Weapons are acceptable, but only in defense". So, the Saurian guards had become tighter in their defense to protect the outpost and cities. All in all, it was a great improvement.

Waldo nodded, as he then noticed something about the two teens. Jake must have met Samantha since she was at Vidabba, once again skipping her matriarch lessons; but... "Is that lipstick on your neck Jake" he asked curiously as he noticed the teens expression shift into horror.

Jake's eyes widened, as he thought "Oooooh Shit"

Samantha came to his rescue, as she improvised "Oh that's nothing. Jake accidentally had walked into a umm..older woman's lips and she left her marking on his cheek so he umm..forgot it was their". She gave a sheepish smile to her father, hoping that he would take the lie. "Hey umm, accidents happen right dad" she added.

Waldo then noted their somewhat cringed up clothes, like they had been in a hurry. "Whys your hair wet" Waldo then asked, this time abit more suspiciously.

Jake this time came to her rescue, as he said "Well, we felt somewhat childish on the way back to Waterfall city, soooo..we stuck are heads under small waterfall since it was kinda hot out and..heh, well we both felt kinda kiddish at the time so..what better way to be like a kid then getting wet".

Waldo nodded, abit confused as he said "Alright then. Well, ahem, there's no other assignments I have for you at the moment Jake so err...your free for the day now". As he watched Jake give a triumph look, he then turned to Samantha. "My dear, your mother wishes to resume your matriarch lessons that you skipped out on" Waldo informed.

Samantha gave a look of misery, as Jake whispered to her "I'll meet you later after your class. We'll have lunch together. Just try to see if you can last through the lesson". Samantha nodded smiling, as she unwillingly went with her mother to be taught more on how to be a matriarch.

Jake sighed, as he said "I'll see ya later Waldo". Running out the door, he thought "Oh man, that was a close call! I thought he suspected something their".

Alright, I'll see you guys later!

Frank watched as his son quickly rushed out the door, dressed in his skybax uniform. "When's that" he asked, concerned for his son since in away, he was going out into combat like the air force back home. Hearing a "when we're done" from his son, Frank called out "Be careful". Watching as David let, he smirked as he said to Karl "Would you look at that guy, Clark Kent into Superman in less than a month"

Frank had been showing alot of interest in David since he was doing something to help others. He had always seemed so quiet and shy back home, never opening up. Never making an effort to help. Now here he was, going out and fighting T-rexes! "Its funny, I thought itd be you. In the uniform, flying the birds; not David" he said to Karl.

The two walked peacefully down the streets of waterfall city, as Frank persisted "What, they weren't fast enough for you". Hearing a muttered reply from Karl, Frank smiled "Well at least that's the one good thing that came out of all of us. I was very worried how David would turn out. Now here is he doing better than before. Also Jake, he heh. He did too much! I'm glad that he's with that girl Samantha. He seriously needed to stop working so hard all the time".

Frank was glad that his son Jake would go out of his way to help people, but he did it too much. He would always train, help others and pretty much never really have alot of fun. He was really glad that Jake had changed abit since they got their on the island.

"Jakes always been a problem to worry about, but you shouldn't worry about David. I read the papers. Nerds rule, even in Dinotopia" Karl muttered sarcastically as they continued walking.

"Dinotopia" Frank stated as he looked around. People in Victorian era clothes were walking all around, as well as many types of dinosaurs. He shook his head in disbelief. He seriously doubted that he'd ever get used to all this. Talking, and walking alongside creatures that supposedly had died out millions upon millions of years ago. It was ludicrous.

"You okay Dad" asked a concerned Karl.

Frank shook his head once more, as he explained "Its just...I can't get over this place". He had no idea how his sons did it for a few weeks of being on lost island. They were young, and very accepting of new things. He was also open to new things, but he had lived his entire island back in America. Now, look where he was!

"Breathe deep Mr. Scott" greeted a passing Troodon. The proper response was "Seek peace".

Frank however, didn't really seem to care as he waved, and responded "I'm breathing. Same to you".

"Well you better get used to it" Karl answered, as someone greeted him with "Breathe deep Karl". Shaking his head, Karl sighed "We ain't goin anywhere". Hearing what he thought sounded like a school bell ring, he glanced over at the school of where he had embarrassedly had to attend first grade footprint language lessons.

Seeing his new girlfriend Marion, Karl grinned as he rushed over to her as she slowly left. "Marion" he called out excitedly. Leading her towards a wall, he immediately kissed her hard on her surprised lips, as he pulled away to see a shocked and somewhat happy Marion. Going to kiss her again, he halted as she raised a hand.

"Karl, just calm down please" Marion smiled, happy to see him again but a little caught off guard.

Marion really seemed to have beaten alot of Karl's playboish ways out of his system. When he had first arrived, he had been very obnoxious. Stuck up on himself, self centered and selfish. Now...well Marion could see he was a much better person having since met her, and gotten twenty six as a daughter. He was so different then the other guys her age. They were all gentle, polite and rarely spoke what was on their minds. Not Karl! He was wild, outspoken and daring.

Karl blinked as he thought "Smart and beautiful. Perfect combination" On the beautiful measure back home that Karl had kept to himself, Marion ranked a perfect ten with all the girls he had dated back in high school and had started dating in college. Though beautiful, the girls he had dated were air heads. Not smart at all, and didn't have much personality. Not Marion though! She was full of personality. She was smart, kind, always spoke her mind and definitely someone he wanted to have a more intimate relationship with.

Giving her a somewhat false hurt look, Karl smirked "You could have had me fooled back at the lake, you know skinny dipping in the moonlight, ring any bells".

Marion blushed slightly at the memory, as she nodded "Yes, of course I remember". That was a night of magic for her. She had been interested in Karl before, but had been shocked that night when he had broken into the girls dorm just to ask if she wanted to go for a swim with him. She never regretted saying yes! "I have alot to catch up, so that's why I've been away for so long" she informed.

Karl nodded in understanding as he said "Alright, well when you want to take a break from catching up, let me know". Walking back to join his dad, he heard Marion call out if he was free Saturday night. Looking back, his face shifted to fake thinking before he smirked "I'll let you know".

Marion shook her head in amusement, as she responded quietly "You do that".

Meanwhile, on another part of the island...

Deep in the Rainy Basin, a small group of humans we're awe struck at the shrine they had discovered! They had been hunting T-Rexes when the plans went sour and they were forced to flee into a small cave. Uncovering a hidden door, they stumbled upon a shrine. Led by the fearless, and ruthless leader known as Quatron; The outsiders feared no one and nothing at all.

In every society, there are always those that disagree upon life, and Dinotopia is no exception. The Outsiders were a group of bandits, thieves and nomads that hated Dinotopia, and everything having to do with it. First created by Federico de Michollo in 1745, the Outsiders despised dinosaurs and the peace loving life that had been set down by its residents. So, they found it they're job to let themselves be known by wrecking things, hunting dinosaurs and robbing others.

Before the small band of outlaws, so a rather intimidating looking statue, of a anthromorphic T-rex, covered in battle armor as it sat cross legged. "What is this place" muttered Quatron the burly man, put a hand to his rugged chin. The thirty nine year old glared at it sternly. He stiffened at the sight of the T-rex, since he had lost the use of his left eye to a T-rex several years ago.

"Must be a temple or...a shrine of some sort" informed Quint, as the man of twenty nine looked at the statue with awe and wonder.

"But why would they build it here in the Rainy basin" Torus Le Sage questioned. She had long, black hair that seemed to fit with her brown mature eyes. The thirty six year old really didn't think that the Dinotopians made this shrine.

"Probably to hide their treasure from us" Lola Lombardi informed as the ditzy, blonde of twenty four shook her head in dismissal of the statue.

"No Lola, they wouldn't dare go beyond the reach of their sunstone towers, sides it look at it. Can't have anything to do with them. It's not their style" smirked Dennis as he adjusted his glasses. The thirty one year old ignored the banter behind him as he approached the statue. Being the intellectual one of the group, he noticed the statues markings. "You see here, the lightning bolts, the snake heads..it's a warning" Dennis said seriously.

Reading off on how it had once terrorized the world of dinotopia, and had almost destroyed it with its magnificent power, he read the name:ZARGTHAR. "A god of T-rexes" Dennis informed, as he put a hand to his chin.

"Well that's good, lets pray to it then, get us out of here alive" Le Sage cringed, as she heard the roar of the T-rex from outside.

"Maybe we could give it a human sacrifice" sneered Quatron at Le Sage, as he and several other of his men laughed at her fear.

"All sunstones have been put up, and you only left me one town huh" David asked Commander Oonu. He was at the renowned Canyon City, where he had learned to overcome his fears of heights and became one of the best Skybax riders in the corp. He had constantly told himself that he would fail, and he had...only because he had made it happened. He kept doubting his ability to fly, and after having the confidence to try again; he did it!

"Not match to complain about, you've done enough already" Oonu smiled, as he handed the last sunstone to David.

"Besides, he saved the best for last" joked Romana Denison, daughter of the famous William Denison. She had light blonde hair, with blue ocean eyes. The beautiful, and brave woman of twenty smiled at David. They had been together and working on assignments for a month now since the waterfall city disaster had occurred, and she had proven herself an excellent flyer and a great friend to David.

"Oh yeah right, the village closest to the Rainy Basin. Thanks alot" David said with strong sarcasm.

"After what you've been through, it'll be a walk in the park" Oonu smiled, as he dismissed himself from the group.

Shaking his head, David smirked, referring to the 1990's Spielberg film "Jurassic Park maybe". Calling on Freefall, his albino Pterranadon; he smirked "How ya doing buddy"! Freefall was alot like David, an outcast amongst his own kind. He had turned out to be the perfect saurian life partner for him when he had come to his aid during the crisis a month ago.

Taking off to the village, David blinked as he thought about how close he and Romana had become. After the incident, she had been asking him alot about his former life back home. He had answered all her questions politely of course, explaining on how different he was at home. He had felt like he could never fit in, do more then he wanted to or even find a girl. Though why she was asking all this was beyond him.

Landing in the village, David saw the tower in sight. Sneaking as quietly as possible, he whispered to Romana "When I'm sure there's nothing in sight, we'll make a break for the tower".

Romana nodded in agreement, as she blushed highly glancing at her feet. Looking back up at David, she whispered "Umm, David..do..umm..you have a girlfriend".

This completely made David drop his professional look, as he blushed in return as he stuttered "Umm..we...well, that's umm...I mean..I...you were...we...umm". He found himself completely lost for words, as the question had came right the heck outta nowhere. Hearing the roar of T-rex snap him out of his thoughts, he thought "Saved by a T-rex..wow".

Fleeing from the monstrous being, they quickly rushed into a nearby home, as they could feel the earth rumble at the thought of the menacing T-Rex. Quickly climbing out the back window as the small cottage began to shake and crumble, they circled around back of the T-rex towards the tower. "Quick, in here" David shouted as he led Romana into the tower station, and up the ladder.

Climbing up to the focal point of the tower, he looked out to see the T-rex had spotted them. Quickly fishing into his bag for the fresh sunstone, he heard Romana shout for him to hurry as he whipped it out. Removing the dead sunstone, he placed the fresh one on the focal point. Immediately, it flared as its effects took place. Covering his eyes at the flare, he smirked as he heard the T-rex flee in fear, as the barrier forced it to run back towards the Rainy Basin. Turning to Romana, he smirked "We did it". He was utterly shocked as she responded by kissing him firmly on the lips in return!

"You should have seen this T-rex, I mean it couldn't get out of their fast enough once the sunstone had been put up" David grinned, as he recalled the tales of the days adventures to his father. He couldn't up but note that his dad looked rather unimpressed. He figured that being chased by a T-rex and then saving a village would have increased his chances of being impressed.

"So, that's the last of them" Zippeau asked curiously. Hearing on how every city and outpost had their sunstones back up, and the T-rexes were back in the rainy basin where they belonged, he thanked "That's such a relief, well done David".

Frank, wanting to get his displeasure out in the open, asked his son "I don't understand why they don't just hunt the T-rexes out and wipe them out". Didn't it seem all those T-rexes knew was how to kill others, and make them suffer? So, what was the point of them still being around if all they did was kill?

David rolled his eyes, as he remarked "Dad, you know that's not the dinotopian way".

Frank shook his head as he grumbled "I know, I know: Live and let live". Looking displeased, he muttered "I just don't understand how we've never heard of a place like this before. I mean, with all those satellites we've got up their".

"Not everything makes sense. There's things out there that we don't understand about" David reason, as his dad snorted in disapproval. "Don't you think that it's cool that there's still things out there to be discovered? I mean, this place would be nothing like it is now if the whole world knew about it".

Frank smirked, as he said "Got that right, it'd be more normal". That wasn't the real image going through his head though. What was going through his head, was an image of the U.S. military coming in and capturing the dinosaurs to be studied by scientist, whilst the soldiers claimed to the citizens that "it was for their own good".

David shrugged, as he agreed "Well yeah, it's different here".

"Different? David" Frank said incredulously as he got up. "Paris, is different. Bombay, is different. This place, is another world" he said seriously.

David could see this conversation was starting to go sour, as he tried to reason "Dad, you used to go to all kinds of exotic places". Back home in New York, his dad had been a successful entrepreneur that would travel to all different places such as Jamaica, Ireland, Chile. However it seemed that David failed, as Frank seemed to get angry.

"Yeah, those were called vacations David. Which this was supposed to be, a nice day of island hopping. Now look how we live" Frank half shouted as he corked a thumb where Zippuea had gone. "We live with a talking dinosaur for crying out loud, there's a baby dinosaur in the next room that thinks Karl is her Dad, and you? You're in an air force where they use flying Pterosaurs instead of F-16's".

"Pterradons" David corrected calmly, but flinched under his Dads angry as he muttered a whatever.

"I mean c'mon, breathe deep. Gimme a break. This place isn't for us" Frank grumbled annoyed. "We don't belong here" he almost yelled in exasperation. Clearly, Frank missed New York. He missed his old home where he would get home from work, get a beer from the fridge and sit down to watch the game. However, those days seemed gone now. They had been gone ever since they had showed up on this rock!

Before David could argue over this, the two were interrupted by a cheerful honk from the adorable twenty six, as Karl entered the room carrying her. "Watch over her, I'm going out tonight with Marion" he asked, as he laid her down in front of Uncle David and Grandpa Frank. "You see what I mean" Frank asked as a knock at the door interrupted them all.

Marion entered the room, as she kissed Karl before going to David as she hugged him. "Hello Karl, David" she greeted as Frank nodded in her direction. "I didn't know you were back, great to see you" she smiled as he nodded in return at her.

Jake yawned as he entered the room, as he had an arm around the lovely, yet wild Samantha. Smirking, he kissed her gently as he noticed David. "Heya Davey, glad your back home" he greeted as he gave his brother a thumbs up. He grinned as David waved at him, before he turned his attention to Karl and Marion.

"So, why'd it take you two so long to deliver that letter to Vidabba" Frank asked casually, likening on how his sons were all getting involved in relationships.

"We err...went for a jog! Yeah, a long jog! Gotta keep the energy moving" Jake smiled sheepishly, as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Frank and Marion bought it, but Karl and David were just grinning as they looked at one another. Yeah, they knew what the two had really done.

Marion glared at her younger sister, as she said "So, where'd you sneak off to today? Skipping out on another matriarch lesson"? Clearly, she was ashamed of her sisters wild personality lately since she had sometimes in the middle of their mothers lessons, would just sneak out. She glared angrily as Samantha just grinned.

"How in the world do you make it through moms boring lectures? I swear, it's the same speech every time! Be peaceful to this, make sure you look like this, do this, do that; it never changes" Samantha shrugged as Marion came up to her, as Jake backed away; suspecting the sisters to bicker.

"Your bringing shame to us by acting out all the time. How do you expect to be a matriarch if you can't even show some discipline at all" Marion argued.

"You may enjoy being miss perfect and always do the right thing, but I don't. Sides, don't I have a choice in what I want to be, since its defiantly not a matriarch" Samantha shot back.

David and Karl on the other hand, were asking their little brother Jake on how things were going. "So Jake, how are you and Samantha doing lately? You make the move on her yet" Karl grinned, as Jake gave him a playful punch.

"Man, you're so perverted at times Karl. No, I didn't make any "move". I don't want to go rushing things with her, and making any mistakes since this is the first relationship I've ever been in with a girl before" Jake said honestly, as he looked over at Samantha, who was ignoring Marion's lecture on how she had to "do the right thing".

"Well, at least you two are really good friends at the moment" David said, as he gave his brother an encouraging pat on the back.

"We're way more than good friends. But we're not ready yet to do anything to serious yet David" Jake explained as he then looked over at Karl. "I'll never understand how someone like you ended up with Marion, and why she hasn't left you yet since you move from one girl to the next".

Karl immediately grabbed Jake in a head look, as he smirked "Wanna say that again a little louder". He laughed as he messed with his bro abit before letting him go. "Well, I think it's about time we go" Karl said, as he took Marion by the hand as they started to go.

"Have fun" David called out to them.

Marion turned as she saw how lonely David seemed. "What are you doing tonight" she asked curiously.

"Him? Pfft, nothing" Frank butted in, as he didn't noticed David mouth "Dad" in an irrigated tone of voice.

"Do you want to join us? I think Romana might be there at where we're going to eat, since she mentioned it when she stopped by here. Jake, and...Samantha; do you want to come as well" Marion asked, inviting them all.

Karl made a face of disgust as he let out a silent scream of anger, dropping it as Marion faced him. He really had wanted it to be just the two of them tonight, without any interruptions. Now it turned out that he would be spending time with his brothers again... He nodded miserably as Marion asked.

"We never get to see you that much, since you're a hot shot Skybax rider" Marion smiled.

David turned to look at Frank, as he nodded for him to go. "Sure" David said simply, as he got up. Passing by a very annoyed Karl, as he huffed in annoyance.

Frank waved them goodbye as he watched his kids leave. He envied them in a way! They all had someone that they could love, and be with. The woman he had loved was back in New York, probably wondering if him and her sons were even still alive. "I need to get back into a relationship with someone" Frank thought. Hearing a honk, he looked down at twenty six, who smiled at him playfully. Giving her a look, he said "What are you lookin at? I am not your grandpa".
