Taiwan, Taipei

Cole fell after their long concert in the bed. He totally forgot, what his father told him yesterday morning. It was already night. He turned on a radio and tried to fall asleep, but then a moderator said something that caught his attention: "Dinosaurs attacked again." "What...?" "A dinosaur known as a Spinosaurus appeared in Egypt. A similar event happened later today in Japan's Sanjo city, a Triceratops and a Tyrannosaurus Rex fought near the cost." "Triceratops...?" Cole remembered what his father mentioned. "Kid? No. Freaking. Way."

He would call them, but he was very tired and he also knew there's one hour plus in Japan. "I'll leave it on tomorrow..." he murmured and closed his eyes.

Next day, morning

Everything went a similar way like two days ago. Cole came back to his hotel room, after breakfast. He immediately called his friends.

Japan, Sanjo city, D-lab

The three kids appeared in the strange light with their new partners. "That was so cool!" Max cheered. "Yeah," Rex agreed. "Pity we couldn't stay longer..." Zoe sighed.

They walked off the platform. "It was your idea to stay, wasn't it, sis?" Reese sitting at her computer asked. "W-well..." Zoe got very nervous. "S-sorry..." "You don't have to apologize," Reese said, "you just must realize how important your missions are." "I'm sorry..." "Don't apologize. You only wanted to have some fun." Everyone looked surprised that she understood them.

Then somebody called them. Cole's face appeared on the big screen in the lab. "Oh, hi, Cole!" "How dare you not answer me the phone?!" he yelled. Everyone just stared at him. "I called you two days ago, but no one picked up!" "Two days ago?" Rex wondered. "Blame Max for that," Zoe said. "What?!" "He didn't even let us have breakfast. We just left it home." "Then sorry that I brought you to the most amazing adventure!" Max snapped.

"No... You can't be serious," Cole murmured when he noticed three little dinosaurs, Triceratops, Carnotaurus, and Parasaurolophus.

"Yeah, they're our partners," Max explained, "Chomp, Ace, and Paris. I thought dad told you about that." "Welp, yeah, but it sounded more like a dream. I didn't believe him. I tried to call you to make sure what does that mean, but you didn't answer. So, you three keep those dinos as pets?" "Yeah!" his brother replied. "No fair... When you'll have a spare one, can I have it?" Cole wondered. "Maybe when we'll find another stone plate," Rex said. "I don't think so... I'm sure that once we'll get a new dinosaur, dad's taking it," Max laughed. "Gee, no way," Zoe objected, "we're giving it to Reese." "Why? Didn't you see how much dad wants it?" Max asked her. "No, Reese deserves it more! Where would we be without her?"

"Stop it, you two," Reese interrupted them.

"I agree with both of you, but this isn't time for fighting," Rex joined.

"Okay then... It's okay... But seriously. Where did you get those names?" Cole asked them. "Do you have better names for dinosaurs?" his brother wondered.

"Did I hear dinosaurs?" someone behind Cole asked. He quickly turned, it was Kyra. "Oh, babe!" "Don't call me like that!" she snapped. "Welp, Kid and the others have their little dinos," Cole told her.

Everybody in the D-lab sighted. "So much for the cover," Zoe commented. "I thought dad told you to keep it a secret," Max growled. "Well... Yeah... It just slipped out..."

"Wait, wait, wait... Those cute little guys are dinosaurs?" Kyra wondered. "Yes," Rex replied, "but can you keep it a secret?" "Why? Ally and Ivi would like to hear that." "Kyra, please, promise me that you will not tell anyone about that," Reese said, "not even your siblings." "Anything for you, Ree. I promise," the bisexual replied to her crush, blushing and melting inside, making everyone else but Reese looked confused, Reese was embarrassed, but no one understood.

"Thank you, Kyra," the blonde scientists thanked her friend and smiled, "I know we can rely on you two." "I wouldn't be so sure about," Zoe murmured, "Cole blew up the cover after all." "But he can keep secrets better than your friend Sue!" Max objected. "Don't try to say anything bad about Sue!"

"Guess we'll leave with those two fighting lovebirds!" Cole laughed and ended the call.

Several weeks later

The D-team went to a lot of places and adventures from London's museum to the Great Wall of China, from Hawaii to the base of their new enemies, Alpha Gang. The trio was in Italy at the time, trying to get a secret dinosaur, Pachycephalosaurus.

A brunette girl around their age was watching the news in the living room. Her also brown-haired younger brother with a glasses was sitting next to her, working on his laptop. According to the news, the Pachycephalosaurus appeared in Pisa and ran all the way to Rome. Unknown to the siblings, D-team was looking for it and fighting for its card.

The sister Alice Komatsu looked at her little brother, he kept on working and ignored the news.

Alice opened her mouth, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't. "What's wrong, sister?" the brother Justin asked her, turning to her. "Justin, what do you think about those dinosaurs?" she thought. She just couldn't speak, she was silent like that for the whole three years. But Justin knows her so well that he can tell what she thinks by looking at her face.

"Sister, you do know I do not believe in anything without a logical explanation or I have not seen it for myself," he reminded her. Alice gave him a weird glare, thinking: "Seriously? You have them right in front of you!" "Just a cheap effect," Justin said. "Yeah? AndwhataboutthoseobviousdinosaursMaxRexandZoehave?! EveryonewasactingstrangesincethatTriceratopsandT-rexfight. They'rehidingsomething. Butwedunnowhat-" all of these thoughts mixed in her head. "Wow, wow, wow. Slow down, sister... I cannot understand you." Alice sighed. She wrote everything on a paper.

"Max, Rex, and Zoe obviously have little dinosaurs. They are maybe the cause of that. Try to call Reese and ask her if we can visit her at the D-lab, I'm sure she knows more about it."

"C-call her...?" Justin nervously asked, his cheeks were red. "F-fine..."

Once he took his phone, his eyes were traveling from one side to another, he was sweating and almost shaking, anxiously tapping with his leg.

"Hello?" came from the other side.

"H-hi, R-Reese!" Justin stuttered. Alice held back the laugh. He glared at her.

"Justin, do you want anything?" Reese wondered. "I-I want-ted to a-ask you, did you notice something strange lately?"

"No. Nothing at all."

"Alright then. Can sister and I come to the D-lab for a while? There is something we need to do."

"Sure."

"Fine."

"Bye Justin."

"S-see you."

After he ended the call, his face was much redder. Alice just smirked.

D-lab, sometime later

The siblings entered the lab.

"Hi, Reese." "Oh, hi."

The blonde didn't look away from her computer.

"So, Justin, ask her." "W-why me?!" Justin wondered. "First, you're her assistant and second, you like her. Plus I kinda can't ask!" Alice reminded him. "It was your idea!" Justin snapped. Alice turned her angry glare away from him.

She once again wrote everything down and gave the paper to Reese. "Don't try to fool us. We know you, Max, Rex, and Zoe have something to do with those dinosaurs, since they all have one for themselves."

"I don't know what you mean," Reese replied. "What?!"

That made Alice even madder. "Moment! S-sister, c-calm down... No violence, okay? But if you do not know what we want to, how come there is information about the same dinosaurs that already appeared?" Justin wondered. "What do you mean there?" Alice was curious. "In Reese's research," Justin answered. Reese quickly turned to him. They couldn't see into her eyes because the light reflected on her glasses, making her so much creepier. Justin trembled in fear.

"Justin."

He hid behind his sister.

"Did you read the records of my research?"

"N-no! No, no, no, no! Of course not! Why would I do that?" Justin anxiously lied. Reese sighed.

Then the D-team appeared in a bright light on the platform.

"Whaaaa?!" Surprised Komatsu siblings stared at them with their jaws down.

"Good news, Reese! We have the Pachycephalosaurus!" Max cheered before he noticed the siblings. "Guys? Wait, did Kyra tell you about it?" Rex asked them. "About what?"

"Nothing..."

Alice saw a golden card in Max's hand. "Pachycephalosaurus?"

"T-this is not possible! H-how could you appear out of nowhere?" Justin panicked. "Reese figured out that we can use a teleporter," Zoe explained. "B-but... Fine, I admit it, Reese is a pure genius." Reese only unnoticeably blushed.

Max put the card on Reese's desk.

"Justin. About my research..."

"I-I... I am so sorry, Reese!" Justin squeaked, "I... I did not want to! I-" "Just calm down. I'll examine the new card," Reese said, "and you two will just go home and will not put your noses where they don't belong, okay?"

"O-okay!"

Justin and Alice headed out of the D-lab. It looked that everything is fine for D-team, but it actually didn't go that easily.

"That was a close one," Rex admitted. "Sorry," Max apologized, "if I didn't say anything about that Pachycephalosaurus, they wouldn't get suspicious." "No," Reese said, "we're all to blame. Hopefully, they have a common sense and they understand we can't tell them right now." "Aren't you mad at Justin, sis?" Zoe asked her sister. "No. I don't have time for that right now," Reese answered and turned back. She was about to take the golden card, but it wasn't there.

"Where is that card?" she wondered. "It's right here-What? It was there just a minute ago," Max said. The card was gone. "Alice," Rex realized.

They immediately called the siblings back. Alice was holding the card, couldn't look into others' eyes.

"Alice! We need that card!" Max snapped. "It's very important to us," Rex explained. "Moment. Tell us the truth and we will give back the card," Justin said. "I thought you already figured out," Reese admitted. "Yes, I did. I would believe that if it was not impossible."

"Impossible?" Max wondered, "fine, let me show you." He took some grey device from his fanny pack, his Dino-holder. Once he pushed on of the buttons, the small yellow animal changed into a beam that flew in Max's hand. In was a grey card with a picture of a Triceratops on it. Justin only blinked a few times. Then Max swiped the card through a hole in his Dino-holder and turned his partner Chomp into a little form.

"So, the card?" Rex wondered. Alice stepped back and put on her hoodie to avoid an eye contact. She was looking at the ground.

Then somebody took her hand. When she looked up she saw a pretty smile. "Zoe?" "Can I?" she asked. Alice slowly lost her grip and let go of the card. A sadness ran through her body, she lost what she wanted so much. But then... Zoe swiped the golden card.

A little orange Pachycephalosaurus with a light on its head appeared at their feet.

Alice immediately hugged Zoe. "Thank you. Thank you." Zoe could only laugh.

The Pachycephalosaurus jumped into Alice's arms.

"Sister, please, do not get attached to it. We can not keep it," Justin said. Alice just smirked. "Sister! Do not give it a name. It will be harder for you to let it go."

"A name?" Max wondered. "Oh, Alice, how will you call it?" cheerful Zoe asked her. "Tashi..." Justin growled. "Is that even a real name?" Rex wondered.

"I agree with Justin," Reese joined, "I'm sorry, Alice, but you can't keep the card." "That's means we have to enjoy some fun with her until we can," Zoe said. Alice smiled and nodded in agreement.

They were playing with Tashi the Pachycephalosaurus for a while, then she got tired. Zoe turned her back into a card.

Alice was smiling at everyone, thanking her friends. "Do not worry, we will not tell it to anyone," Justin assured others, "but if I understood correctly, Kyra knows it as well." "Yeah," Max answered, "Cole kinda told her." "And is there any possibility I can work on things related to this with you, Reese?" Justin asked, his cheeks turned red. "Maybe a little," Reese replied, "but after we'll come back from Canada." Justin's eyes sparkled with happiness, he wrapped his hands around Reese. "Okay. Thank you! Thank you so much!"

When the siblings left the D-lab, Reese took the card from her sister.

"And where's Dr. Taylor?" Rex wondered. "Somewhere," Reese replied, "sis, you should go home and pack your stuff for a vacation." "How do you-" "I know you. You leave everything at the last minute. Max, Rex, if you two by any chance already finished the packing, can you help Zoe with it?" Zoe blushed once she realized that the boys would see all of her clothes. "That's fine... I can do it myself," Zoe said. "We wouldn't sabotage it," Max tried to assure her, "and didn't do it yet."

"Alright. You three go home and I'll meanwhile analyze the card," Reese told them.

"I'm sorry I did that, but she manipulated me..."
