A/N: Short, but fun!
Lowery
Alice and Dom finally met, and the two are loving life together. Casey Johnson came around and is now hanging around with Ian and the other teens. The board gave Claire the green light to James so that he could move his raptors over to Alice's old paddock.
It was Sunday, and today, everyone was relaxing as best as they could. Claire and Owen were checking around Alice's old paddock to make sure that there were no faults in security. Ryan decided to sleep in for the day and then meet up with Sarah to hang out. Ian, Olivia, Casey, and Alexis decided to hang out at the Bamboo Forest. Lowery decided to spend the day to hang out with Alice and Dom to teach Alice a few more words.
Lowery entered Alice and Dom's paddock and was immediately surprised by getting the wind knocked out of him when a sudden white flash came upon him and rested on his stomach. It was Dom, who had tackled Lowery and began to chitter at the man.
"God, Dom," he began, "you gotta give a guy a warning before you do that."
Dom trilled in happiness and then hopped off Lowery as he watched Alice step out of the brush. Alice chirped at Dom, and told him to be careful around Lowery. Dom barked back at Alice and then jumped on her snout and nibbled on it. Lowery got up off of the ground and then rubbed his chest. Alice gave a concerned chirp at the tech geek.
"It's fine Alice, I'll live," he said as he then pulled out the laminated letters and put them on the ground.
Alice was happy that Lowery was fine and then lied down on the ground, with Dom on her back and waited for Lowery to show her more words.
"First, tell me how you're doing right now."
Alice rearranged the letters and spelled out, 'Good.'
"Well that's good to hear. How's Dom?"
'Anoying.'
"Alice, there's another N after the first N in that word. But, that's my fault because you don't have enough letters. I think I'll print you another set of letters."
'How are you'
"I'm doing good. Everyone's taking a chill day today, except for Claire and Owen. They're checking out your old paddock because we'll have another raptor pack arriving in a few days."
Alice perked her head up at those words. Another raptor pack? That sounded great!
'Can I meet'
"We'll have to see what Claire and Owen say."
'Okay'
"Well, today we'll learn a few more names of animals on this planet."
Alice nodded her head and then watched Lowery was getting ready to teach her some new words.
Alice loved Lowery so much. It made her wonder why she hadn't trusted Lowery first. She always said in her mind that she loved him, but she ended up trusting Claire first. Lowery was a great human. He always took time to hang around Alice and show her new things. He taught her lots of things. Besides the words that she was learning now, he taught her what the moon and stars were; he taught her about video games and movies; he also taught her about how humans can act at times in their lives. Lowery was a loving human, and Alice adored him with all her heart.
Alice then rearranged the letters, forming a question.
'Do you trust me'
Lowery looked down at the words and then let out a sigh as he scratched the back of his head.
"I figured this time would come eventually," he said.
Lowery then sat down in front of Alice and then said, "Alice, I gotta say, you're something special to me. I've been with you when you were alone and when you were confused by some things. I never thought that you and I would get this far in our friendship, and I honestly hope that we continue on this way. As your uncle, I've taught you many things, and I will continue to do so until the day I die, or the day you die. But, I'll trust you when I know that you trust me."
Alice should've known that Lowery would've been like this. Alice took a few minutes to think back at her relationship with the tech-geek. Lowery was scared of Alice at first, but he grew to be more relaxed around her. Lowery felt safe around Alice now and would hope that if he was in trouble, that Alice would come to his rescue. Alice was certain that she would protect Lowery from whatever dangers may present themselves, even if they were mental ones.
It seemed to Alice like she trusted Lowery, but she needed a bigger incentive to drive off of. Maybe, the fact that he always spent his time around her was a good enough incentive. Alice had never seen anyone else as much as she had seen, and heard, Lowery. Owen had his pack to watch over, Claire was busy being CEO, and everyone else just had their own things. But, Lowery, even though he had a job at the park, he always had time to be around Alice. Alice then decided to picture Lowery in a dangerous situation, and saw herself saving the man in a heartbeat. She then pictured herself in a dangerous situation, and then saw that Lowery came to her rescue. Alice had to admit it to herself. She did trust Lowery.
'I do trust you'
"Yes! I beat Owen to it!" Lowery said.
Alice rolled her eyes. What a goofball. Was it a competition to see who Alice would trust first? Alice was pretty sure that no one expected Claire to be the first one to be trusted by the Indominus herself.
Alice then moved closer to Lowery and nuzzled the human. Lowery embraced the snout and hugged it in response.
"I trust you, too Alice," he said as he let go of her snout.
Dom then jumped off of Alice's back and tackled Lowery once again and began to nuzzle Lowery's face.
"Dom! I get it! I trust you, too buddy!" said Lowery as he struggled to get the little Indominus off of him.
Alice wanted to laugh as Lowery wiggled his way out from under Dom. Lowery always had the most unfortunate things happen to him in a funny way. Alice loved the man, and she knew that Lowery loved her, too.
Short, yet sweet scenario. Alice finally came to realize that she had trusted Lowery for some time. Lowery was excited that he beat Owen to it! Owen's bound to be next in line, right?
A/N: Turtles! I know that this chapter was short, but I felt like it was sweet enough. Alice trusted Lowery, yay! How many of you expected Owen to be trusted next instead of Lowery? Welp, Owen should be next in line, right? We'll just wait and see! I hope that you enjoyed this chapter and that you come back for more! Review, if you'd like and stay tuned for more to come!
