Owen drove his jeep towards the park. Since it was noon, it meant it was time for lunch. Knowing Valentina must have been hungry after her encounter with the Utahraptors, Owen and his daughter took the toddler to the Jurassic Diner before Reese checked her timetable. Reese sighed of relief as she knew she would only go back to Mark Norell High School, which welcomed all employees' children aged from 11 to 18. As they got off the jeep, Reese took her weaponry before Owen took his niece and carried her through the park to the diner. Valentina couldn't stop admiring the park and how many people were there, hence the fact Owen carrying Valentina, so that she didn't get lost among the crowd. Valentina saw lots of people walking in the park, sitting at restaurants, going to different enclosures, entering shops or the Visitor Center. Reese wasn't so impressed anymore, since the teen lived in the park since she was 11. Now nearly 15 years old, Reese knew what it was to live in a dinosaur theme park. Valentina was extremely excited to see dinosaurs but she was so hungry that her uncle and cousin said they should eat first, visit later. Owen and his daughter entered the diner and got seats near the windows. They sat down while Reese ordered two cheeseburgers, some fries, one blueberry milkshake, two mugs of coffee, a veggie burger and three slices of apple pie. Owen ate his meal as he watched his niece hungrily eat her lunch, knowing Valentina must have been hungry after being showered with affection by the Utahraptor pack, while Reese ate silently, wondering what was wrong with her cousin. After lunch, Owen carried his niece while Reese took her M4A1 carbine with her, not paying attention to the armed employees in the diner, as the family went to the first stop of their tour.
The Gentle Giants Petting Zoo. It was an attraction in Jurassic World where many baby herbivores were fed, fed and ridden on by children. Reese frowned upon seeing the baby Apatosauruses, Gallimimuses and Triceratopses being treated like this. Unlike Valentina, who was extremely excited to see the baby dinosaurs up close and she could see them, since Valentina was sitting on her uncle's shoulders. Valentina wanted to pet all of the baby dinosaurs with love, despite her previous adventure with the four Utahraptors.
"Can I go Uncwe Owen? Can I go, Weese? Pwease, pwease, pwease!" Valentina loudly squeaked while jumping on her uncle's shoulders.
A chuckling Owen then replied to his niece, "Alright, alright. But Reese will accompany you just in case."
Reese then put her M4A1 carbine across her chest before entering the petting zoo, followed by her father and cousin. Owen then put Valentina down as Reese went to the baby dinosaurs to keep an eye on the toddler. Valentina then excitedly ran to the baby dinosaurs while Owen went to an employee named Joey. As the two adults were having a basic conversation, Valentina was heading towards a baby Apatosaurus, which then stopped moving and looked at Valentina curiously. Valentina gently patted the baby Apatosaurus on the head before the latter started nuzzling the toddler. Reese checked her M4A1 carbine and saw the rifle already had a bullet housed into the barrel before removing the safety as Valentina started giggling while playing with the baby Apatosaurus, childishly patting the dinosaur's head, scratching it's chin and singing an equally childish song to the dinosaur. The commotion also attracted other baby dinosaurs, which then started to connect to Valetina before storming the toddler and ignoring the sad children. Reese then saw her cousin giggle incontrolably as the baby dinosaurs licked Valentina. Reese then aimed her M4A1 carbine nowhere in particular before firing off four rounds, temporarily scaring the baby dinosaurs away.
Hearing Reese's shots, Owen and Joey stopped their conversation and were startled to see a giggling Valentina still surrounded by the baby dinosaurs, although the latter were a bit further than before the gunshots. Owen then was snapped out of his shock when he spotted a baby Triceratops climbing on his niece. Owen dashed towards her and picked his niece by the armpits while Reese fired off two more rounds, scaring the baby Triceratops away although a baby Gallimimus clinged on Valentina fake Utahraptor tail. Fortunately, Joey whistled at the baby dinosaur as Owen ran from the paddock with his giggling niece.
"Okay, Petting Zoo's over! Thanks Joey!" Owen stated as Reese joined her father.
Joey nodded in gratitude while Reese looked at the laughing tourists with an attitude, seeing it uncomfortable to be looked at that way. But Valentina was giggling and waving at the baby dinosaurs while her uncle carried her away from the baby dinosaurs. Just as Owen and Reese made it out of the paddock, Joey closed the gate, preventing the baby dinosaurs from following them.
"Okay. Petting Zoo's off limits now. On with the next exhibit!" Reese said leading the way while her father carried a giggling Valentina to the next attraction.
Owen and his daughter then walked to the Titanoboa Jungle Tunnel. The exhibit ressembled an underground reptile zoo, since tourists could go downstairs to see the jungle from below. But as the huge Titanoboa was nowhere to be found, the tourists and the employee in charge, Andrew, were disappointed. Andrew and the tourists supposed the snake was trying to avoid all of the Christmas lighting found althrough the park. But when Reese and her father, still carrying an overexcited Valentina, came into the exhibit, there were very few people apart from Andrew himself of course.
"Not much persons in here." Owen said as he put his niece down.
As Valentina ran to the glass windows trying the find the giant snake, Reese shouldered her M4A1 carbine and aimed it anywhere towards the undergrowth. Valentina tried to get a glimpse at the big snake, but couldn't, just like Reese, who lowered her M4A1 carbine. Reese deduced the exhibit wasn't that popular.
"Whewe's the big snake?" Valentina asked.
"I don't know. If Reese couldn't find it, then no one could." Owen replied as he scratched his head.
"I'll be the first dumbass to sing for a snake." Reese said before humming the US Marine Corps Hymn.
"You stowe my spot. I wanted to sing songs mommy taught me!" Valetina complained to her indifferent cousin.
Owen then shook his head, knowing humming a song and singing it were two very different things. Then, Andrew left his chair and went towards Owen. The two adult men then shook hands and began a casual conversation when Reese suddenly began actually the US Army's anthem. Valentina raised her eyes and saw some leaves moving, as Reese noticed branches moving away from something big. Reese then took her cellphone and started her playlist.
"Hey, Owen. The exhibit will close if no one sees the Titanoboa, aka Tani. And guests keep complaining the snake isn't anywhere to be seen." Andrew explained.
"I see. If guest keep complaining about the exhibit, you're done for your job if I understand." Owen summed up as Andrew spotted Valentina.
"Sorry for your bro and your sis-in-law. And I presumed Reese and you must raise your niece." Andrew told Owen.
Owen nodded as Reese started singing 'The longest day' while looking at rustling leaves. Valentina began humming 'The Ants go marching one by one' while Reese's friends went into the tunnel. Seeing rustling leaves and Reese singing, the teens immediately understood what to do and motioned Reese they would get ready. One of Reese's friends took a ukulele while another one took her fiddle and the final of Reese's friends took harmonica. Reese then began singing a Christmas son named 'Let it snow'.
Just as Reese was singing the song, Valentina giggled, catching the attention of both her uncle and Andrew. Turning around, the two adults saw Tani the Titanoboa looking at Valentina. But what shocked the two of them the most was that Tani wasn't agressive and was even focusing on Valentina. The giggling toddler then went to her uncle as Reese and her friends finished singing.
"Uncwe Owen! I made a new fwiend!" Valentina happily giggled.
As he lifted his niece up, Owen deduced that it must have been the military songs Reese sung that attracted Tani to the open... or the occasion of an easy prey. Equally perplex, Andrew looked at Valentina, who was completely unaware of how dangerous the snake actually was. Tani then tilted her head as Valentina giggled and clapped her hands. Reese and her friends motioned Owen to hide Valentina, to which Owen obliged. Soon, Tani turned back to the undergrowth before Reese and her friends started the music, bringing Tani in the open again.
"She heawd Weese sing and she wants to heaw mowe! Watch them!" Valentina pleaded as she went next to her uncle.
"Yes Owen. Watch." Andrew commented, recognizing Reese's friends as Mark, Rhea and Beverly.
As her friends were playing their instruments, Reese began singing, "It's Christmas time and I can't wait - Mama hurry, don't be late - Let's go down to the railroad tracks - Santa Train is coming back - Ooh Ooh Here It Comes - Ooh Ooh Santa Train - Ooh Ooh Get On Board - Ooh Ooh Santa Train - From Shelbiana through Elkhorn Pass - Up the grade and down to the Dante - All along the Clinchfield Route - Little children scream and shout -"
As Reese was singing 'Santa Train', Mark, an African-American boy with straight black hair wearing a red jacket, blue jeans and white sneakers, played the harmonica while Rhea, a Hispanic teen with short dark hair wearing a blue jacket, white trousers and red trainers, was playing the ukulele. Last but not least, Owen, his niece and Andrew saw Beverly, a blonde white girl wearing a white jacket, red sneakers and black jeans, playing the fiddle. The tourists then looked in amazement as Reese and her friends calmed Tani down with music while the Titanoboa herself was focusing on Valentina, plainly ignoring the sudden crowd in the exhibit.
"Oh shit. Control room, this is Andrew. Tani can be brought out thanks to music." Andrew loudly stated on his earpiece.
"What? Hell, we didn't know it. We'll tell Claire. And also put part of the thanks on Valentina." a female voice replied on the radio.
"Thanks, Vivian. Out." Andrew politely said.
Owen nodded in agreement as Mark, Rhea and Beverly began playing their instruments as Reese sung 'Santa Train' one more time, proving her theory to be correct. Indeed, many teenagers who had come to visit Jurassic World with their parents were joining into the improvized choral, forcing Reese to sing this very song several times. But Claire also heard this from Lowery Cruthers and Vivian Krill and the trio joined Andrew and Owen through the staff service door of the exhibit. Claire smirked as she saw Reese and her group of friends sing to bring Tani the Titanoboa in the open.
"Your kid and her friends are indeed talented. So I was thinking of something very special for them." Claire said.
"Good. I bet it's the new dinosaur." Owen replied, knowing what Claire would say.
Claire nodded as Reese, Mark, Rhea and Beverly followed on with 'From the Halls of Montezuma' before several visitors applauded and saw the quartet sing 'The Army goes rolling along', immediately following with 'The US Navy hymn' and 'I heard the bells'. Owen and Andrew then heard Mark, Rhea and Beverly's parents coming to see why there were so many people coming into a not so popular exhibit only to see Owen welcoming them. Beverly's mother then quickly understood why and filmed the scene happening before her eyes as Valentina clapped uncontrolably. Meanwhile, Andrew went to his station and downloaded some music through the loudspeaker system, prompting Reese and her friends to stop their inpromptu concert.
"Alright, Valentina. Time to go home." Owen said picking up his niece.
"Hey, Owen. Our kids may spend some time at your place." Rhea's father told Owen.
Owen nodded as Valentina giggled as Tani the Titanoboa just boringly listened to the songs being played by Andrew's loudspeakers. Claire, Lowery and Vivian congratulated Andrew for his quick thinking before going back to the control room. With a warm smile from Claire congratulating the teens, Reese, Beverly, Rhea and Mark left the exit alongside Owen and went on with the tour.
