In the Park, Unknown Paddock
Dr. Grant, Nowa, Ethan, Tomoe, and Shizuka are walking threw the Jungle when they hear a Distant Roar of the Tyrannosaur.
"Are you hearing this?" Nowa said, looking towards where the sound came from.
Grant starts to think when another Roar is heard.
"Come up, Ethan. Come on hurry." Grant said, pushing Ethan up the Tree.
"Let's, uh, get up this tree."
"Oh, no." Ethan said.
"Come on, Ethan, its okay. Try up here."
Ethan, Nowa, and Grant start to climb the Tree. He stops and turns to Tomoe and Shizuka.
"Do you ladies need any help?"
"No, were fine down here." They said in Unison.
Grant shrugged and continued to help the Children up the Tree.
"I don't want to."
"Okay. Oh, man. I hate trees."
"They don't bother me." Nowa had said to Ethan.
"Oh, yeah, well, you weren't in the last one." Ethan retorted.
The three can hear the hoots of the animals. Some are almost musical.
Now, near the top of the tree, the three of them sit there on a flat place. It's an incredible view. They can see in all directions. It is clouded but still there's a lot of detail. Most striking of all are sauropod heads, at the end of long necks, that tower over the park.
"Those are Brontosauruses. I mean, uh, Brachiosauruses." Ethan said.
"There Singing." Grant said with a sigh.
Grant moves over to a higher branch. He hoots himself, trying to imitate one of the calls. Immediately, two of the heads turn in their direction and hoot back.
"Shh, shh! Don't let the monsters come over here!" Nowa said with a wail.
"They're not monsters, Nowa. They're just animals. These are herbivores." Grant said, still on the Branch.
"That means they only eat vegetables, but for you I think they'd make an exception." Ethan said with a laugh at the end.
"Ethan…" Grant said with a stern look on his face.
"Oh, I hate the other kind." Nowa said, a little calmer then before.
"The other kind, just do what they do." Grant said as he got off of the Branch.
Grant finds a solid web of branch and settles himself in it, leaning back against the trunk of the tree, with a little room on either side of him. Nowa and Ethan nestle up next to him. Grant is surprised, but accepts it. Satisfied, they settle in for the night. But something in Grant's pocket pinches him.
"Ooh! Aah! What's that?" He said as he dug out what ever it was that was in his Pocket.
It's the Velociraptor claw he unearthed so long ago in The Iron Mountains. Yesterday, actually. He looks at it, thinking a million thoughts, staring at this thing that used to be so priceless.
"What are you and Leina gonna do now if you don't have to pick up dinosaur bones anymore?" Nowa asked.
"I don't know, I guess I guess we'll just have to evolve too." Grant said with another sigh.
"What do you call a blind dinosaur?" Ethan suddenly asks.
"I don't know. What do you call a blind dinosaur?"
"Do-you-think-he-saurus."
Grant chuckles at the Joke.
"What do you call a blind dinosaur's dog?"
"You got me."
"Do-you-think-he-saurus Rex."
Grant Chuckles again.
"What if the dinosaur comes back while we're all asleep?" Nowa asked.
"I'll stay awake." Grant replied.
"All night?" Nowa asked, skeptical.
"All night." Grant replied.
Both Kids then close there eyes and fall asleep.
Grant then allows the Raptor Claw to fall to the Ground.
Cretaceous Café, Visitors Center
Earl Vance sits at the table, alone. There is a bucket of ice cream at his end of the table, and he's eating a dish of it, staring down. Leina draws up to the table and Vance looks up at her.
"They were all melting." He said.
"Eilin is okay for now. I gave her a shot of morphine." She replied.
"They'll all be fine. Who better to get them through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert?"
There was a Long pause before Vance started to talk again.
"You know the first attraction I ever built when your Mother died... was a Flea Circus, Petticoat Lane. Really quite wonderful. We had a wee trapeze and a... a merry-go... carousel... and a seesaw. They all moved, motorized of course. But people would say they could see the fleas."
Leina just looks at him and lets him continue.
""I can see the fleas, mummy! Can't you see the fleas?" Clown fleas, high wire fleas, fleas on parade."
"But with this place, I wanted to show them something that wasn't an illusion. Something that was real. Something they could... see and touch. An aim not devoid of merit." Vance finished.
"But you can't think through this one, Father. You have to feel it." Leina said.
Vance began to smile before he spoke.
"You're right, you are absolutely right. Hiring Risty was a mistake, that's obvious. We're overdependent on automation, I can see that now. Now, the next time, everything's correctable."
"Father…" Leina began.
"Creation is an act of sheer will. Next time, it'll be flawless." Vance said, pointing to Leina.
"It's still the Flea Circus. It's all an illusion." Leina then said.
"When we have control again..." Vance started.
"You never had control! That's the illusion!" Leina said, Interrupting Vance.
From the Tone in her Voice it shocked Him.
"I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. So I made a mistake, too. I didn't have enough respect for that power, and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan, Nowa, and Ethan. Father, they're out there, where people are dying." Leina said with much emotion.
Vance then looked down at the Ground.
"So…" Leina said as she takes a spoon out of one of the buckets of ice cream, and licks it.
"It's good."
"Spared no Expense." Vance said.
Out in the Park
Unknown Paddock, Near Dawn
Grant, Ethan, and Nowa are asleep in the branches of the tree, both kids now curled up under Grant's arms. A brachiosaur's head pushes into the tree branches, right up beside them. Grant awakens, only a little bit asleep. He smiles. Nowa awakens too.
Nowa opens her mouth to scream, but nothing comes out. She flees to a higher branch. The head returns for a second bite. Ethan awakes too.
"Go away!" Nowa screamed.
"It's okay! It's okay! It's a brachiosaur!" Grant said quietly. He then stands up and starts to look for something.
"Veggiesaurus, Nowa, Veggiesaurus!" Ethan said, trying to help Calm Nowa.
But Nowa isn't taking any chances and stays away from its mouth.
"Veggie." Nowa said.
Ethan then tries to imitate the Brachiosaur hoot like Grant last night.
"Come on. Come on, girl. Come on."
Grant moves forward with a branch with leafs, and points it towards the Brachiosaur's mouth.
"Come on, baby." Grant then said.
The brachiosaur makes a loud honking noise, startling Grant and the kids.
Grant tries to feed the brachiosaur. The animal gets the end of the branch and starts a tug-of-war with Grant.
"I'm not letting Go!" Grant said, tugging the Branch.
Grant pulls the head close to him. They really begin to have a good time with the brachiosaur. Ethan reaches out, petting the dinosaur's head while it chews.
The dinosaur keeps chewing, not objecting to the inspection.
"It looks like it has a cold." Ethan said.
"Yeah. Maybe." Grant says, looking at the Dinosaur's Nose at the top of its head.
"Can I touch it?" Nowa asked, more relaxed now.
"Sure. Just think of it as kind of a big cow." Grant says.
Ethan giggles as Nowa reaches out to touch the dinosaur.
"I like cows." Nowa said.
The dinosaur head moves away from the group. Nowa tentatively edges forward in the tree to the inspection.
"Come on, girl. Come on up here, girl. Come on."
It Sneezes. It's a vast explosion, and Nowa is dripping wet from head to toe. She is frozen with horror.
"God Bless You!" Ethan Shouts as it walks away.
Grant and the Kids then climb down the Tree and meet up with Tomoe and Shizuka before carrying on.
