A/N: Sorry this was posted so late you guys - currently staying in Ocean City for my vacation. Plus with me being all lazy and procrastinating to no God damn end . . . yeah, sorry ^^ But, anyways! Here is the new chapter posted and (hopefully good) up for y'all to read! I should be starting on some other stories as well too! :)

Oh and also, each of the Dilophosaurus have their names. The one to tell me what each of their names have in common can decide what will happen to certain characters in the story, how the first show might go, or what the first escape dinosaur may be in the upcoming storm chapters! Hope to hear from you! ^^


"So," Joel began with hands neatly folded in his lap he turned towards Samantha. "Are you ready to begin training?"

She was confused on how exactly to start 'training'. Even with the large amount of manuals on hand to read from, Samantha was still lost for words. It was just like training a puppy right?

Twelve pairs of various colored eyes stared back at her, intently focused on the two humans in front of them. Their gaze never breaking once. They had grown, - the Dilophosaurus - now the size of large German Shepard. Their size and the rate that they grew at in just a short two months scared Sam a little. Though she guessed it was apart of the DNA splicing that was done on them.

'Yeah; dangerous, poisonous, and scaly puppies...' Sam thought before giving a nervous nod. Soon enough Joel began to laugh as the blonde man slapped his knee before delivering a hard pat to the brunette woman's back. "I'll take that as a no then, right?" Glancing down, the boy looked over towards the Dilophosaurus before heading over to the freezer.

Cool air wafted down from the freezer floating in various directions as Joel swatter the cold air away. Throwing large slabs of beef and pork into his arms, the blonde easily walked back over.

"Since they're still so young, food is the best way to get to their - well any animal's mind." He hadn't even bothered to cut the meat up. Such an effort wasn't needed as the six siblings instantly turned their gaze over to Joel. Soon enough they began to hiss and chirp as they crowded around the short male. His lips stretched into that of a grin as he threw the large slab of rotten flesh towards Samantha, "here, catch!"

The brunette wasn't ready for such a thing to suddenly happen - especially having half a dead pig thrown into your chest. Needless to say, Samantha caught it (with some difficulty). Again, the six siblings turned towards Sam as they darted over to her, chirping and occasionally trilling. Blue Cohosh or 'Blue' for short was the first to jump next to Samantha - taking Joel's spot on his stool. She had walked into the woman's lap, her maw opened to reveal hidden teeth as she snarled dangerously.

Samantha knew Blue was one of the siblings that she didn't need to mess with. Her hands pulled away from the pork and like it was an invitation; the other siblings joined their sister. Datura, the small green male with yellow gradient jumped on the opposite side of Samantha, playing a game of tug-o-war with Blue. Maikoa, and her two brothers Oleander and Henbane had begun to tug downwards. The three blue siblings seemed to be taking the lead over the meat. Adonis, the oldest of them all simply watched them fight over the flesh, taking no interest in the meat - since he bullied his siblings for their food at breakfast -.

Maikoa, Oleander, and Henbane won as they stumbled with their prize over to a more secluded area in the lab. Blue and Datura hissed angrily as they began to charge towards the three triplets. Screeching, the five of them soon began to tumble over each other, biting into each other's scaled flanks.

"They don't respect you," Joel said observing the whole scene as he reclaimed his stolen seat. "They just see you as the person giving them their food - nothing else."

Pushing stray brown locks away from her eyes, the woman stared helplessly back at her blonde co-worker. "You're scared of them, aren't you?" The sudden question punched Samantha hard in the gut. It was true, she couldn't deny it. Having to take care of poisonous dinosaurs would scare anybody, right?

"Train them like you would a dog okay?" Joel instructed grabbing the large slice of beef. This time he grabbed a knife nearby and began to slice the thick meat into thin slices.

Samantha turned her attention back to the Dilophosaurus seeing as they still fought violently with each other. Maikoa had Blue pinned on her side as the two females began to hiss and snap at each other. Her eyes never left the small creatures though the question was directed at Joel, "should we you know, stop them?"

Raising his head once, the blonde looked over to the commotion before returning to the meat, "let them fight."

He headed back over to Sam, handing her a small handful of the chopped cow. "Wait here and don't give them anything." Joel instructed as he separated a still fighting Blue and Maikoa with a boot. Forcefully yet at the same time, gently forcing the two apart from each other. Quickly, Joel snatched the torn pork from the ground eliciting a serious of chirps and trills from the Dilos.

They flocked to him like pigeons would do in New York.

Throwing the flesh to the side and out of the dinosaur's reach, Joel turned to Samantha as he took a seat next to her. "Now," the blonde instructed as he grabbed a thin slice of meat for himself. "Make them wait."

Dature trilled as he stood in front of Samantha, small yellow optics stared up intently at the brunette. She cringed slightly as Datura took another step forward, his jaws quickly snapping around the thin slice of red meat. He managed to miss her fingers by millimeters as he darted off with the small slice.

"Ahhh -" the girl drawled out as she settled the small meat in her lap throwing her hands up in slight defeat. She released a shaky breath as Joel simply dragged her hands down to her lap again. "C'mon," he instructed with a stern tone handing her more beef. "Do not show them that you are afraid, got it?"

Sam nodded as she gave a silent whistle catching the attention of Adonis. The spotted mlae gave a trill as he watched Samantha closely. Occasionally he would inch forward waiting for the brunette to crumble under the pressure and give him the desired food. When no such thing occurred and Samantha actually managed to keep her cool Adonis released a hiss. Yellow optics bore into her skull as he parted his maw to reveal poison filled rows of needle-like teeth.

"Don't crumble under the pressure," Joel told her as he stared down at Adonis. The other siblings watched closely, seeing how their oldest brother would act in this situation.

Giving a small nod, the woman pulled her hand back from the irritated dinosaur, keeping eye-contact with him the whole time. Snarling, the dinosaur trilled before going into another snarl - inching closer to the woman.

"Once he stops snarling, you can feed him," the blonde instructed in a nonchalant tone. A smile growing on his lips.

"R-Right," she agreed waiting for the aggressive behavior to stop.

Twenty minutes of fighting the urge to crumble under the pressure was hard. Finally, Adonis managed to settle down as he simply waited at the foot of the chair. Joel smiled as he began to drum a random beat on his thighs, "I think twenty minutes of waiting is fine."

She gave a nod, gaining a better hold on the slice before she gently showed her hand to the Dilophosaurus. "Easy," she told him as the small creature cautiously sniffed the meat before tugging it out of the woman's hand with his teeth.

"Good job Sammy!" The blonde congratulated with a clap of his hand. Adonis had retreated back to the group of siblings, each of them chirping to the older male as they surrounded him.

"Awesome, now that we know they won't bite your cute little fingers off!" Joel exclaimed with that still go-happy smile spread across his face. "Now time to learn commands!"


A/N: Well, now this chapter is posted - feedback? Por favor? It greatly helps me, also don't forget to tell me the relationship between all of the Dilophosaurus' names! First one to tell me so gets to pick what'll happen in the future chapters!:)
