A/N: Ok, soooo, I'm a huge fan of Jurassic Park, and a total Alan and Billy fangirl as well. I was watching JP3 one night and this just sort of came to me. It's a direct tag to one of the scenes in the film (which if you've seen the movie you should recognize pretty quickly). It's completely pointless, but I wrote it and it seemed a waste to just let it fade into the inky blackness of the abyss that is my hard drive. So here it is. Hope somebody enjoys it, even if it is a pointless piece of nonsense. :)
Cross-posted to my live journal. No slash.
Alan Grant felt his heart stutter in fear, and it had nothing to do with the fact that Eric Kirby had just been swept away by one of John Hammond's monsters. What frightened him was the look in Billy's eyes, and horror washed over him as somehow he just knew what Billy was going to do.
"Billy...! Billy!"
He ran, ignoring the way the rickety old walkway shook as he dashed over it and the way the rusted and age-weakened metal groaned beneath his pounding feet. All he saw was Billy, and all he knew in that moment was that he had to stop him.
"Billy, stop. Billy, stop!"
He was so close, yet so far,toofar away, and he knew before it happened that he would be too late. But that didn't keep him from crying out anyway in one last ditch attempt to stop Billy from jumping. "Don't, Billy!"
Billy turned, looking Alan in the eyes one final time. In his gaze were a thousand emotions; fear yet courage, reluctance yet determination. But mostly there was sorrow, and a deep, pleading hope that Alan would forgive him for stealing the eggs and putting them all in even greater danger. It was a look that begged for forgiveness for letting his mentor down.
Alan dove, his hand outstretched in a desperate attempt to grab Billy and to pull him back to safety. But his groping fingers met only air as Billy turned away and leapt mere seconds before Alan could reach him.
Alan reached the guardrail and watched as the young man he had mentored and tutored and maybe even begun to think of as something like a son sailed away in a sky full of creatures that Alan had long associated with nothing but death.
"Billy!"
Aaaaand we all know how it goes on from there. ...I Told you it was pointless. ;) Leave me a review anyway? *hugs to all*
