Jurassic Park: My version (I know, great title)
It was a raptor. Dr. Alan Grant could see that now. The teeth, the vertebrae, the
skeletal structure in general. All pointed to raptor. "What you got there?" came Ellie Sattler's voice from behind him. Grant turned to face her. "Another raptor," he said. Ellie grinned. "Good," she said. "This increases our chances for more funding."
Just then, honking could be heard along with rock music, interrupting the sweet silence of the dig sight. Grant and Ellie turned to see a Jeep drive up over the hill. It parked as the 2 young passengers stood up. Ellie laughed slightly. "It's the twins," she said, but Grant could already see that. Fourteen year old Kaitlin and Mathew Basler frequently visited the dig sights, due to the fact they were aspiring paleontologists. Sort of. Kait stood up, making a peace sign, sticking her tongue out. Mat stood up and soluted them with the cherry sucker he had in him mouth. They got out and ran over to them. "Hey, Grant, Ellie," Kait said. "Sup," was all Mat said.
Grant smiled. He couldn't help it. He liked the twins. They weren't like other kids Grant had met. For example, the first question most kids asked him was," Do you really believe dinosaurs evolved into birds?" followed by a bombardment of other questions. The only question the twins, Kait, to be specific, had asked was, " Who did the photography?" Kait was into photography.
"Hey, what's with your clothes?" Ellie asked. Grant looked and noticed the twin's clothes were different. Instead of a T-shirt and jeans, which was the norm, the twins were wearing clothes that looked like they had been bought at a G.I. Joe garage sale. The only things that were the same were the head excesories. Matt was still wearing his banana yellow with a bubble-gum pink front hat. Kait still had her red and white polka-dot headband. Both twins had shaggy red hair and green eyes.
"Mom and dad sent us to military school," explained Kait. , frowning. "Why?" Ellie asked. Mat said, "We tried to excavate the back yard in search of dinosaur bones." Grant sighed. The twins could be a bit dumb at times. "Did you find any?" Grant asked. The twins said nothing.
Kait looked over to where the other paleontologists where digging. "What'd you find?" she asked. Ellie said, "Veloceraptor." Both twins' eyes widened. "Really?" exclaimed Mat. Grant nodded. "Who's doing the photography?" Kait demanded. "Umm…no one," Grant replied. Kait started running for the Jeep. "I'll get my camera bag!" she yelled.
Mat, ignoring her, said, "Why aren't you guys photographing the dig?" Grant groaned, rolling his eyes. Ellie smiled and said, "We're trying this new computer program that let's us see the complete skeleton before we excavate it. Apparently it's more efficient than digging and taking photographs." "Apparently," Grant said. Mat laughed and said, "Dr. Grand and computers. This will be good."
Ellie asked, "Hey, Mat, whose Jeep is that?" Mat turned to face the Jeep, which Kait was getting into. "Oh, it's mom and dad's," he said. "And they let you drive it?" Mat turned red. "Umm…they don't really know," he said.
Grant was just about to say something when someone yelled, "Dr. Grant, we're ready to try again." Grant sighed. "I hate computers," he said. "The feelings mutual," Ellie agreed. As the two started walking towards the computer, Mat said, "I'll go get Kait." Grant turned to him and said, "Don't think you're off the hook Mr. I'm-gonna-drive-without-even-a-permit!" "Yeah, whatever," Mat called over his shoulder as he ran toward his Jeep.
