Disclaimer: I don't own Dinosaur King what so ever

In the middle of the city, Reese Drake was walking alone on the city sidewalk trying to spend some time to herself after a long day at the D-Lab. As a few cars zip past her and with some noisy people around her, Reese maintains her calm nature. She may seem like she's calm, but deep down Reese was just distraught, furious, and upset, but in a more sorrowful way. She sighs in frustration as a certain part of her day kept replaying in her mind in a continuous loop.

Earlier that day…

Reese was sorting different kinds of papers when a certain couple came into the lab. Rex and Zoe were giggling over something, which indeed annoyed Reese. But Reese tries her best to stay positive, after a sigh she talks to her sister.

"So, how'd it go with Dr. Taylor?" She asks.

"Well the fossil turned out to be a pig tusk. So that was a waste of time." Rex says.

"But then we found this amazing ninja village and spent the day there." Zoe explains, "We enter a contest that Max won, we found a dinosaur card of a Deinonychus pack, and well...let's say Rex and I got a little more...acquainted after he complimented me in my ninja outfit." Rex wraps an arm around Zoe which made her chuckle.

Reese wasn't amused at all. She replies, "You two just made out when Max or Dr. Taylor weren't looking didn't you?"

The couple blushed, though Zoe seems to be rather more annoyed than embarrassed. "Y'know Reese, you're attitude is so sour." She complains, "Why can't you be happy for once?"

Reese looks away from her sister, becoming annoyed by Zoe's complaints. She tries to get back to sorting papers while trying to talk with Zoe. "Zoe, you wouldn't understand. Work is more important for me now and I need you and Rex to leave."

Rex put a hand on Zoe's shoulder and tries to get Zoe out, "C'mon Zoe, let's leave Reese al-"

"No! I'm not leaving till you explain why you're almost never happy!" Zoe was really pushing Reese's buttons, but Reese kept it in, "Are you upset about someone? Are you upset about work? Or are you upset that I have a boyfriend and you don't?" Zoe quickly covered her mouth after her last question.

Zoe had finally broke the camel's back.

Reese's head shot up, astonished to hear what her little sister had uttered. Zoe didn't mean to push it this far, but she allowed herself to do so. Zoe tries to apologize, "Reese, I-I'm really so-" Reese's fist slams down onto the desk, startling both Rex and Zoe. She looks back at the two not looking pleased by the slightest, Rex and Zoe gulp in fear. "I have to go." Reese said before marching her way to the door and slamming it shut. Behind the door, Reese leans up against a wall, shuts her eyes tight, and lets a few tears drip down before leaving the D-Lab.

Present time…

Reese was really upset, after Zoe telling her off about her not having a boyfriend really shattered her spirits. Reese really wants someone to love and spend time with, but she's more focused on her work she doesn't think any guy would want to spend time with her. As Reese was deep in thought

"OOPH!"

She ran into someone, and the two fell to the ground afterwards.

"Sorry about that."

"No, You're fi-" Reese stops mid sentence. She looks at the person she ran into and was surprised greatly. The stranger turns out to be a man. He was fairly tall his hair was black, he was wearing sunglasses to be exact, and was wearing a coat with a familiar logo on one of the flaps. The logo was indeed an Alpha Gang logo.

IT WAS ZANDER!

While trying to process everything, Reese stands up as did Zander. Both were extremely taken aback by their encounter.

"Didn't I see you back in Mexico? You're with the Alpha Gang right?" Reese asks.

"Zander's my name." Zander seemed really depressed for some reason. Reese wondered why Zander was feeling so low. She asks cautiously, "Are you okay?"

Zander shook his head, "Not really, working with the Alpha Gang's hard on me. Especially what I've been going through…"

Flashbacks…

"I have to deal with Ursula's cruel biddings." Zander narrates as a flashback of Ursula wanting to buy some royal sunglasses. Zander and Ed were both there naked and embarrassed as Ursula still wants to buy those sunglasses.

'GRR! I'm not leaving till I get one piece of royalty!' Ursula growls.

"Dr. Z's always rough on me and the others."

Multiple flashbacks of Dr. Z tormenting Zander and the others.

"The only person who isn't hard on me is Ed, only because he suffers the same faith as me."

Multiple flashbacks of Ed and Zander going through rough time together.

Present time…

"...Which is why I'm even here now, to get away from everyone and to take a breather." Zander explains, "And if that's not bad enough, Ursula says how no girl would ever date a wimp like me." Zander looks to the ground as his sorrows became clearly visible.

Reese didn't know what to think of this, her mind went into conflict on what to do next. She now knows that Zander is part of the Alpha Gang and he almost tried to get rid of her little sister. However, Reese could see that Zander seems like a nice guys when he's not with the other Alpha Gang members and she does remember how Zander gave her the Saurolophus card and didn't take it. She somehow feels...sympathetic towards Zander and the life he now lives.

"I'm really sorry to hear that, Zander." Reese said.

Then, an idea sprang into Reese's mind.

"Hey Zander?" The tall man looks to Reese, "Maybe tonight, would you...like to have dinner with me?"

Both Zander and Reese blush at the question. Zander seemed perplexed that Reese asked him out, since he believed that he'd never would get a girl. Reese was as well perplexed, but she had an explanation to her question. She explains, "It's my way of saying thank you for the Saurolophus cards from earlier."

"Well...I'd love to!" Zander began to smile.

"Perfect." Reese said as she remembers something, "Though, do you mind if my little sister tags along? I owe her an apology."

Zander seems curious of where this would lead to, "Little sister?"

"Yes, you've seen her plenty of times before."

"I've seen her many times be...oh." Zander now realizes that Reese's little sister is Zoe, or one of the brats as he would call it. 'Oh dear...well, I guess it wouldn't hurt for one night.' Zander thought before replying, " Well I don't see why she couldn't come."

Reese smiles, "Thank you, that means a lot to me. Don't worry if she accuses you, I'm tell her you're innocent. So when should we meet up?"

"Does six o'clock sound good?"

"It does, so I guess I'll see you at six then?"

Zander nods, "Yes, I'll be there. Well I must get going before the doctor wonders where I am." Then Zander walks away while waving goodbye to Reese. She waves back, feeling something that she's never felt before. Was it...love?

But before Reese could ponder, her phone began to rang. Noticing the caller was Zoe, rees immediately picks up. "Hello?"

"Hey Reese. I'm calling because, well...look Reese, I know you're mad and want to be alone. But I just want to say that I'm really, REALLY sorry for what I said back at the D-Lab. I was just tired of you not being happy most of the time, it's really killing me."

"Don't worry Zoe, I forgive you. Plus I have a surprise for you."

"What do you mean?"

"All I'm saying is this, you and I are going on a double date tonight at six."

"..." Zoe doesn't answer.

"Zoe?"

But then, "EEEE! Oh my gosh Reese, really?! Who did you meet?! Is he hot?! Oh I gotta tell Rex about this, thank you, thank you Reese!"

Reese smiles, "No problem. I'm heading home now, so if you need to get ready I'd do so right away."

"Okay then, I'll see you soon. Bye!"

"Bye." Reese hang up her phone and starts to head back to her house to prepare for her double date tonight.

Back at Zeta Point, Zander had just returned to find Ursula and Ed minding their own business. Ursula and Ed were lounging around while watching their chibi dinosaur. Spiny and Tank were chasing Terry all over the place. Ed was the first to notice Zander's return. "Hey, Zander." he says, "Where've you been?"

"Oh, just taking a breather. That's all."

"Oh really?" Ursula wasn't believing Zander, "Then where were you, cause no one has seen you at all around Zeta Point."

Zander begins to stutter, "Well, I uh...like to head to other cities to take breather. It's more relaxing and soothing sometimes! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get ready for a night out. C'mon Spiny."

The chibi Spinosaurus follows Zander to his room so he can prepare. As they left, Ursula and Ed have a conversation about Zander.

"Zander is clearly hiding something, and we need to know what it is!" Ursula declares.

Ed seemed hesitant about the plan, "I don't know, Ursula. What if Zander is doing seems more...personal?"

"Oh, don't be a big baby!" Ursula said, "Besides, what if Zander's plotting against us? You saw how he calls for Spiny more often, Spiny could be against us as well. We need to do this Ed! Not for us, well maybe just for us, but you seem to get the point now."

Seeing no way of Ursula's plan, Ed just went along with it. He sighs in defeat, "Okay, I'm in."

"Good." Ursula smiled, "Now remember this for tonight Ed, we leave a few minutes after Zander does so he won't suspect a thing. Got it?"

Ed nods in agreement.

"Perfect." Ursula begins to grow a wickedly smile across her face.
