Raptor Your Heart Out

Alice's last show for the day was about to begin, and she was excited now more than nervous. She began pacing around the paddock, happily taking each step thinking about what she would do to put smiles on everyone's faces, including Red One and Owen. Alice loved smiles, they were very important to her. Smiles help her tell what kind of person one was when they flashed a smile in her face. If there was one smile that had to be her favorite so far, it had to be Red One's. Red One's smile was sincere, soft, and sweet. Her smile also showed that she was in control of what she was in charge of and it could light up a room, and anyone's day. When Red One smiled, Owen smiled back at her, meaning that she could make other smile. Alice wondered if her smile could do that. Alice hadn't seen her smile in real life, only in a dream, and it freaked her out to the greatest extent. But, she did notice that when she smiled at Red One when the man from InGen asked her to touch her snout, that Owen and Red One smiled back, meaning that she might have the same ability as Red One: being able to light up a room with her smile.

Gabriel Ortiz stepped into the room with Styler and stood next to Claire and asked, "Is the show about to start?"

"Yes, sir. You came just in time, too. It's starting right now," replied Claire as she turned to look at the crowd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Jurassic World. My name is Claire Dearing, and I'm the Operations Manager of the park. And this man next to me is Owen Grady, our raptor trainer and Indominus caretaker. We are very happy to present the Indominus Rex of Jurassic World. Please give a warm welcome to Alice," she said as she pointed to the glass, with Alice stepping out of the brush.

Ortiz couldn't be more astonished at the beautiful, snow scaled dinosaur that just stepped out of the brush. This was Alice the Indominus Rex that she had heard about so much. She was beautiful. Ortiz suddenly smiled at seeing the hybrid, and Styler arched an eyebrow at seeing his boss pull the corners of his lips up.

"Gabe, you okay?" asked Styler.

"Es la cosa mas Hermosa que he visto en mi vida," said Ortiz.

Robert didn't understand much Spanish, he knew some of the common words, but he didn't understand what Ortiz had just said. Ortiz wanted to meet Alice up close, not now, but some other time.

Alice's last show had just concluded, and Ortiz was more than satisfied at seeing the hybrid. Now, Owen had to keep his promise. It was time for Alice to see Blue, Echo and Delta again. Alice was super excited to see Blue One, Green One, and Bronze One again. She couldn't wait to tell them about her shows and how much she's learned to like humans more. She couldn't wait to see them excited about her being there, too. So many things were running through Alice's mind, that it was distracting her from where she was going. She was being led by Owen, who was riding his motorcycle alongside Alice, to where Blue One and her sisters lived. The excitement that Alice was feeling was nearly too much to bear. Alice didn't understand why she was so excited. She had seen them before, but then again, she hadn.'t seen them in nearly a month, so a reunion was in order.

Claire began biting her nails as she watched the screens in the Control room, waiting for Alice and Owen to arrive at the raptor paddock. ACU had been told to hang around the paddock in case of an emergency, and everyone on the island was on high alert. Lowery looked at Claire and then said, "Stop eating your eating your nails, Claire. It'll be fine, okay?"

"How do you know that?" she asked him.

"I don't. But, I have enough faith in Alice that she won't do anything heinous."

Claire opened her mouth to say something, but then thought about Lowery's words and shut her mouth. Lowery had the right mentality right now. Claire needed to have some faith in Alice that she wouldn't do anything crucial. She then thought about Owen, who was riding alongside her and leading her to the paddock. He had to have more faith then anyone in Alice.

Owen's heart was racing. He began to sweat, but he blamed that on the climate of Central America. He began getting nervous for some reason. He then began to think about how this was going to go. He pictured Alice taking command again, and then ordering the raptors to kill everyone, like the night of the Incident. He then pictured Charlie, and when she was killed. Before Owen even realized it, he was snatch up into the air, very startled from his thoughts. Owen began to panic and flail, not fully processing what was happening. Owen blinked a few times and caught his breath. HE then began to look around and saw that he was high off the ground. Not super high, but enough to scare him a little. He then looked down at his waist and felt a small panic rising in his chest when he recognized the raven black talons wrapped around him. He then looked up and was startled at when he came face to face with Alice's scarlet eyes. Owen began breathing heavily, but slowly as he watched Alice blink.

"Uh, Alice, why are you holding me in your hand?" asked Owen.

Alice let out a chirp and then showed Owen his motorcycle, which had crashed into a tree. Owen then thought that he must've been very lost in thought, not paying attention to what was ahead of him.

"Oh, I see. Well, thanks Alice," Owen said as he gave a small smile at her.

Alice nodded her head and then let the human down. Owen walked over to his bike and then quickly inspected it. Nothing too serious, but he sure wasn't going to be driving it for the next day or so. He then radioed Lowery and told him what had happened. Lowery told him that Owen would have to take his motorcycle to the Jurassic World garage, where all vehicles were checked and repaired. Then again, Owen thought that he could simply fix the bike, but then thought about all the duties he had to fulfill now, and decided that it would be best to send the bike to the garage.

"We're not that far now, just a five minute walk from here," Owen said to Alice as he began to move forward, with Alice treading behind him.

They had finally arrived at the raptor paddock. Alice couldn't be anymore excited. Blue One and the others were beyond the walls of the paddock. Alice wanted to barge in, but simply waited for Owen's instructions.

"All right Alice. follow me. I'm going to take you to the other side of the paddock. Through there, you're going to have to be careful with the railing above you, okay?" Owen asked her.

Alice gave a nod of her head and then followed Owen to the other side of the paddock. Before Alice went in, they were stopped by a man, one that Owen called Barry.

"Hey Barry, how are the girls holding up?" Owen asked the man.

"They are crazier than ever now that you're not always around," replied Barry.

"Great! Well, Barry, this is Alice. Alice, this man here is Barry. He helps me around here with the girls. He's left in charge when I'm not around, well, kind of."

Barry rolled his eyes as he stepped forward and said to Alice, "It's nice to finally meet you, Alice. I've heard many good things about you. You're more beautiful than they say you are. Like a giant snowflake."

"Kiss ass," said Owen under his breath.

"I heard that."

"Y-Yeah well, you were su-supposed to."

Barry got closer to Alice, and Owen began to wonder if Barry had a death wish.

"Barry, what are you doing?"

Barry then waited for Alice to lower her head to his level, and then he wrapped his arms on her snout. Alice was surprised at how open and comfortable this human was around her, but she liked this human nonetheless. His touch was gentle, and warm. Then again, most humans' touch was warm. Barry was acceptable though, and Alice hoped that they could become great friends in the future. Alice let out a soft croon, making Barry smile. Alice now found her new favorite smile. Barry's smile was kind, and friendly. Anyone could approach Barry and become friends with him, and that was all because of his smile, and his personality.

"Barry, we're here so that Alice can see Blue and the others," said Owen.

"You sure that's such a good idea?" Barry asked as he began to rub the snow white scales of Alice's snout, making her shiver her jaws slightly.

"Well, Claire and I are pretty sure she's been wanting to see them for a while. And, if that is the case, then that also means that she's going to want to meet some of the other dinosaurs on this island. And, it's also because I promised her that I would let her see the other dinosaurs."

"There's the answer I was waiting to hear."

"What?"

"Everything has an explanation Owen. And, it doesn't surprise me when you tell me that most of your problems occur because you make promises to everyone, even dinosaur hybrids."

Owen scoffed as he then thought about what Barry had said. Barry was right. Most of Owen's problems were because he kept making promises to people that he couldn't keep. But, he would make sure that with Alice, every promise he made and would make to her, he would fulfill to the fullest.

"Right, well, Alice, you ready to see Blue again?" asked Owen.

Alice gave a happy chirp as she then began to shuffle her feet around in excitement. Barry chuckled at seeing her so full of joy, and then, with the help of Owen, they led the hybrid to the door that she was able to fit through.

"Now, Barry and I are going to be up on the railing, okay? If you need anything, just let us know and we will help you as best as we can," said Owen as he patted Alice's leg and then proceeded up the stairs to the railing.

The door began to open, and Alice could see green of the trees and bushes inside of the paddock. This was it.

Claire began to bite her nails again as she watched Alice slowly step into the raptor paddock.

"Claire, you have really got to stop chewing your nails," said Lowery, "Look, Alice is going into the paddock now. All that's left is to see what happens next."

Claire looked at Lowery and then said, "Lowery, realize that if you're wrong, you are so fired. But, if you're right, then I might give you a promotion."

"God, let's hope I'm right then."

All eyes were on Alice as she stepped into the brush. She was surprised at how quiet it was. Blue One was normally loud, so it was surprising not to hear her close by. Bronze and Green One weren't as loud and rowdy as Blue One. Then, Alice heard a call of a raptor nearby. She began walking in the direction of the sound until she stepped into a small clearing and then, happiness poured into her heart. It was Blue One, who had dead animal under her feet. The creature under her feet was small, with long ears and a small round tail. Blue One began to stare at Alice and then seemed to think about who it was that she was looking at. Then, Blue One recognized the ex-Alpha and gave a joyful bark, alerting Green One and Bronze One of Alice's presence. Bronze One and Green One then stepped out of the brush and then began jumping around Alice's feet in excitement, and this made Alice happy. She hadn't seen these three in a while and it was rejuvenating seeing old friends again.

"They seem like a pack," said Barry to Owen.

"Well, they were one, you remember? And, I taught my girls one rule: Once a pack, always a pack," said Owen.

"So, is she part of their pack?"

"Well, she's part of my pack, so, yeah she is part of the pack."

"Fair enough."

Claire felt a wave of relief come over her as she saw that the raptors and Alice were getting along just fine.

"Seems like I'm getting a promotion," said Lowery.

"Yeah, about that. How about a raise?" asked Claire as she continued to stare at the screens.

"How much are we talking about?"

"Oh, I think what I'm going to offer you will be more than enough."

"How much is it, Claire?"

Claire looked around quickly and grabbed a sticky note and a pen and wrote down Lowery's possible new salary. Lowery nearly jumped out of his body at seeing the numbers before his eyes.

"That is more than enough," he said as he folded up the note and put it in his pocket.

"That's what I thought," said Claire.

"Miss Dearing?" asked a deep voice from behind.

Claire and Lowery turned around to see that it was Gabriel Ortiz, with Styler standing next to him.

"Mr. Ortiz? What are you doing here?"

"I was coming up to check on how Control is doing. What's going on?"

"Uh, well, Alice wanted to see other dinosaurs, especially the raptors, so, we decided to let her see them."

"Oh, well, that's sounds fantastic."

Lowery made a slightly disgusted look and then turned to the screens. Lowery didn't not like Ortiz, it was just Ortiz's overwhelming enthusiasm that Lowery didn't like. Styler arched an eyebrow at catching Lowery's look, but then brushed it off and watched the screen, seeing Alice and the raptors communicating with each other.

Alice couldn't be happier. She was with her pack again, but it saddened her a bit when she thought about Younger One. If Younger One were here right now, then the pack would be complete. But, Alice's actions caused Younger's death, and Alice would have to live with that torture for the rest of her life. But, Blue One and her sisters told Alice that she didn't need to worry about it so much. Younger One was gone, and there was nothing that Alice, or anyone else for that matter could do about it. Alice feeling guilty over it isn't going to bring her back, and Alice had to learn that and then move on. Alice was startled from her thoughts when she heard Blue One give a chitter, and then looked down into the blazing gold eyes. Blue One had asked if she was all right. Alice responded with a shiver of her jaws, telling Blue One that she was fine. Blue One then perked up excitingly and then ran around Alice and then jumped up on her back. Alice turned her head as far as she could, and she saw that Blue One was looking around, especially at the railing. Alice could then tell what Blue One was probably thinking about and then let out a low growl, warning Blue One not to do anything stupid. Blue One looked into the scarlet eyes and then let out a bark, reassuring Alice that she wasn't going to do anything stupid. If Alice had eyebrows, she would arch one at Blue One. Alice didn't believe Blue One for one second. Alice then let out a warble, telling Blue One to get off of her back. Blue One then let out a sigh of defeat, and then jumped off of Alice's back. Blue One might be the Beta, but she sure wasn't stupid enough to try and start a fight with the smartest predator on the planet, let alone the fact that Alice was bigger than Blue One.

Owen couldn't help but smile at his girls being playful around Alice. Owen mentally smacked himself, because he thought back to the reason why he wouldn't let Alice see Blue and the others again. Now, if he had known that they were going to act fine, then he would have let her seen them sooner. Maybe Claire had a point. Maybe trying to put Alice with the raptors in one paddock wouldn't be such a bad idea. The idea of another dinosaur living with Alice in her paddock was becoming a bigger matter now that Alice would be meeting the other dinosaurs soon. Maybe, Alice will want to see if some of them could live with her, or hopefully she would just choose one dinosaur or specie of dinosaur to live with her in her paddock.

"Owen, you okay?" asked Barry as he nudged Owen's elbow with his own elbow.

Owen startled from his thoughts and then responded, "Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I just, have a lot of things on my mind right now."

Owen looked down into Alice's scarlet eyes, and then put a big smile on his face. If Alice was happy, then it seemed like everyone else was happy, too.

Alice finally saw the raptors again, and it was like the pack was back, and whole. Owen is now thinking about what dinosaur Alice would choose to live with her, and Alice met Barry and found her new favorite smile: Barry's smile. It's all going good so far, right?
