Because when I get bored, I think of random crap. Thanks and enjoy T-Rex Travesties.
T-Rex Travesties
It all started when Shelby saw the t-shirt in the mall. When asked later, everyone would be able to blame her for the epic battle that was sure to follow. The shirt Shelby spotted was nothing she hadn't seen before. It was a simple grey t-shirt with an ironed-on graphic, but it was the picture that had her laughing in the middle of the store. The picture was of a t-rex looking very sad. The caption next to it read 'If you're happy and you know it . . . never mind' in block letters.
Even better? The t-rex was bright red.
So she bought the shirt and wore it to the café the next day. Tyler laughed when he saw it, though he kind of felt bad for Rexy now. The poor dino couldn't even clap! But hey, it was a funny shirt. Too bad Chase saw it too. The Kiwi was a very fickle sort of teen, and he decided to make this a competition. He was going to out-t-rex Shelby if it was the last thing he ever did. Besides, if they didn't pick on Tyler, how would he knew they cared?
So Chase went out and found a different t-rex themed shirt. This one had a picture of a red dinosaur wearing those weird shutter shades while the caption read 'T-Rexy and I know it' in huge block letters. He wore it to the café the next day, just as Shelby had. Tyler thought this one was hilarious; he was totally T-Rexy, right? But now Shelby knew it was a competition. And she hated to lose.
They found all sorts of t-rex themed shirts, from ones with asteroids to ones where the t-rex was upset he couldn't do a pushup. Riley, oddly enough, was the last one to find a t-rex shirt. Chase had somehow talked him into joining the competition, but no one would ever know how. His shirt was of a t-rex holding one of those extendable claw things and grinning, the caption reading 'I am . . . Unstoppable!'
Tyler had just about had enough. So when he saw Riley –innocent, kind little Riley –making fun of him, he just snapped. But Tyler didn't snap like most people did. No, he decided to get even. And so he went shopping.
The next day at the Dino Bite Café, Tyler showed up to work in the unthinkable: a t-shirt with the Jurassic Park logo on it. But instead of the normal t-rex, it had a velociraptor. And instead of saying Jurassic Park, it said 'Clever girl'.
Needless to say, Riley was pissed. He'd made everyone swear not to use that against him after they watched Jurassic Park during their first team movie night. Now here was Tyler, their leader, wearing a t-shirt with the very thing they had promised never to repeat.
The embarrassed Green Ranger grabbed everyone but Koda –who honestly had no idea that there was even a competition at all –sat them down, and forced them to end the competition. When Shelby and Chase complained, both Riley and Tyler threatened to find embarrassing images of the triceratops and parasaur and put them up all over the dinolair. They agreed, but only just. They also agreed that Tyler won the competition for his complete ingenuity for finding the 'Clever Girl' shirt.
Tyler, on the other hand, was just glad it was over.
This is short and it sucks. I think it took me all of five minutes to write, but I just had to get it out of my head. That and I saw someone in the hallway at school wearing the 'T-Rexy and I know it' shirt and thought of all the funny t-rex shirts I've seen. Thanks for reading!
