Glad to see you again! I'm glad that you decided to visit this story again! It really means a lot to me that you keep on coming back to this story; I never thought survival would be this interesting and boy was I surprised when I saw how many views and reviews that I was getting! I am very grateful that you think this story is great.

I want you to know that Kenny never exactly worked at Jurassic World. What does that mean? You'll just have to wait and see.

Owen, Barry, and Claire will be featured in this chapter but only for a short bit. Claire however will be shown in several spots (mainly scene-breakers) that will play a very large role in the future of the story.

Meteorologists, pay attention.

Also, I gave Barry a last name.

Bold italics are for special blurbs that I will be putting in here (and quotes).

Lastly Blue will show another symptom of a common illness and let me say... it will terrify her.

Disclaimer: I tested this: You see the 1st chapter of a story when you click on it; regardless of what chapter you left it on. Therefore, you have already seen it. (I hope that this works).

On with the story!

Blue woke up with her head lying on Kenny's chest an arm over his stomach, and one of her legs over his. Blue smiled and nuzzled his chest softly, sniffing him and trailing her hand across his skin as she enjoyed her company with him for several more minutes before she gently nudged him and licked his face.

"C-ome on, wa-wake up silly." Blue repeated.

"Ngh. I noticed that you're getting better at talking." Kenny groaned as he got up and pet her head and neck, drawing a long sigh from the raptor.

"N-not r-really it's just tho-se wor-rds. Con-si-der-der-ing how mu-ch I have to-to tell you to get out of b-bed." Blue stated.

"Well either way your voice is becoming much softer now." Kenny replied.

"Re-really?" Blue asked.

"Yeah, and while your syllables may need some work I think some slow pronunciation can solve that." Kenny said.

"Tha-anks." Blue said as Kenny got up and got changed, with Blue licking her lips as he changed his boxers and slowly moved her head to the side before quickly jerking her head back to look at the floor when he started to turn around.

"Thanks, Blue." Kenny thanked. "Let's go check up on Yumi."

"Al-al-right." Blue agreed.

"See there ya go!" Kenny praised as he pet Blue's head as they went out into the hallway and saw that it was sunny out today.

They then headed into Yumi's room right next door. Unfortunately, Kenny forgot how easily the door opened and it slammed into the wall. Yumi raised her head in shock as her frill expanded.

"Woah! Woah Yumi! It's us!" Kenny frantically shouted after jumping in front of Blue.

Yumi chittered in an apologizing fashion.

"It's alright Yumi, sorry for waking you up like that." Kenny responded. Thanks to the light coming in from the window in the room opposite of the hall, Yumi's room was now relatively well-lit.

Right then Blue noticed something on the opposite wall from the door. The bars on the fence-like cabinets looked eerily similar to those on the cage that Wu imprisoned her in.

At that exact moment, Blue felt like the earth's gravity magnified tenfold and she felt like she was being crushed. On top of that, Blue noticed that her breathing was going faster than when she was chasing the Indominous, which was really fast. Blue also felt like her heart was trying to break out of her chest and she couldn't slow it down because she was shaking so much. Then she felt like everything in her stomach was trying to leave her. She felt so helpless right now. She felt so terrified that she began to cry again.

That was when she heard a very, very distant voice talking. Two in fact. She also felt arms around her back.

"[You're safe Blue, it's alright.]" Blue heard Yumi's faint voice say.

"Can you hear me Blue?" Kenny asked. "It's okay Blue, everything is okay. You are going to be fine."

"W-" Blue started to say.

"Ssssh, ssh, don't talk girl." Kenny softly spoke. "Just slow your breathing. Breath in through your mouth on 3 okay? 1...2...3."

Blue drew in a deep breath, still shaking.

"Good, hold it, 1...2...3; and breath out through your nose now." Kenny continued. "Breath in... hold...and out."

Kenny and Blue repeated these ten more times before Kenny felt Blue hug him back.

"W-hat, what, hap-happen-ned, t-to me?" Blue asked through whimpers.

"Blue, you just had a panic attack." Kenny answered.

"A w-wha-at?" Blue asked.

"A panic attack is when you feel as though you can't control your breathing or heartbeat, you feel nauseous, and you feel as though you're about to die. I've heard that it's really terrifying." Kenny explained.

"I-it w-was." Blue continued crying. "Tho-sse bar-ss on t-the cab-in-ets o-over there remi-mi-minded me of t-the ca-ges th-at Inge-en put m-me in."

"Well you don't have to worry about them anymore." Kenny said in a soothing voice. "And I think I know just the thing to fix this, as well as help Yumi here with recovering from her sickness. Chicken soup."

"Re-reall-ly?" Blue asked. "W-wh-ere w-will you f-f-i-ind a chick-chicken?"

"I'm going to go out hunting with Rexy." Kenny answered.

"W-wha-at?!" Blue asked in shock. "B-bu-t she c-could..."

"What? Eat me?" Kenny laughed. "I don't think she would want to do that considering how long I've known her and considering how I saved her life."

"C-ca-care-ful she's str-strong." Blue cautioned.

"Don't you worry about that." Kenny said. "I've known her for as long as Jurassic World has been open, she's not going to eat me."

Yumi looked at Kenny with a tilted head as she noticed something in his tone.

"It's alright you two. If you need me I'm going to go fill up the oxygen tanks in Aqua's lagoon over there, or there." Kenny said, taking the opportunity to take his left hand off of Blue's back. "I'm also going to be talking to Rexy about some things that she's missed, get some advice on hunting, and also to check up on her wounds."

Yumi noticed that Kenny pointed to Blue when he said, "Things that she's missed," and "Advice." Kenny just winked his eye and Yumi nodded her head in understanding. Blue then felt Kenny stand up and silently whimpered at the lack of his comforting touch.

"I'm going to head out now. Yumi, you shouldn't be contagious in a few hours so if I'm out for longer than that could you please look after Blue?" Kenny asked. Yumi nodded her head. Kenny then headed towards the door before being tugged back softly. Blue took her teeth off of Kenny's shirt and looked up at him.

"Ken-ny, when y-ou wri-ite in your jour-urnal, write wha-at's be-en happen-ning to me." Blue requested, still whimpering.

"Are you sure?" Kenny asked. "If people do come back to this island they may see what I wrote and I also didn't want to invade your privacy as, well, this is really personal for you."

"Pl-please Ken-kenny, I want-t to knnnnow what's wraw-wrong with me-e." Blue pleaded. Kenny knelt down to where Blue's head currently was and looked her in the eyes.

"Blue, nothing is wrong with you. Sure, you may be going through a tough time right now; but that doesn't mean that something is wrong with you." Kenny said. "I promise, we will find a way to make you feel better."

After that Kenny wrapped his arms around Blue and she returned his hug.

"I'll be back before you know it girl." Kenny said before putting on his leather jacket and leaving to his room as he grabbed the tranq-rifle and M16A4 before heading to the exam room Yumi was in and took the solar generator out. He then went to the garage and opened the door. He put the generator on charge mode after taking it outside. As he was driving out Kenny's eyes began to leak tears but wiped them away and steeled himself to get his friend help.

[10:45 am]

Kenny decided to take a loop around so that way he would be able to hit several things on his "to-do" list without having to waste gas going out of the way. Kenny had programmed the drones to return to main street once they went into reserve power. Kenny made sure to hook those up to the solar power generators that were already fully charged. He had 8 total in the street and made sure that half of them were always fully charged. After launching 4 new drones he drove off to the garage for Aqua's lagoon to make sure the generators and filters were still functioning. Kenny had tested the water earlier and confirmed that the reason the oxygen was so low was because of algae that was growing in the lagoon due to Aqua's waste not being filtered out of the water, providing plenty of nutrients for the algae to consume.

Fortunately, the filters were removing the nitrogen and other pollutants, and Aqua was now able to safely live in her lagoon again; although Kenny knelt down and scratched his head as he could smell the scents of other creatures down here, and had noticed that the lights appeared to have been replaced sometime recently, and a note sealed in a ziploc bag that was tied to the fuse box told him how to properly activate the lights in the tunnels. At this point Kenny was beginning to doubt that there were actually still people on the island, as the scents down here smelled similar to those of the two hybrids he and Blue encountered in the innovation center.

Kenny sighed and put those two on the back burner until he got Blue help and hopped back into his jeep and drove over to T-Rex Kingdom, and he got the feeling that something was terribly wrong when he got there.

In front of the door to paddock 9, was a crushed Steyr-Daimler-Puch Pinzgauer 712 M that was used in the Gallimimus Valley tours along with a Mercedes-Benz sprinter that was also crushed, both having their roofs ripped off and blood splatters on the seats, hoods, and sides of the vehicles. The vehicles were completely demolished as if they were in the way, only, Rexy was the only one who could move them, or at least he thought, and he wasn't sure how recent this was, and he found himself wondering how much of a fight she had put up when InGen came for her.

Kenny was tempted to go in but realized that would probably be a bad idea as if Rexy was somehow in there then she probably wouldn't be happy at being woken up. Kenny decided to head inside of the visitor's portion of the attraction, noticing the claw and teeth marks on the door handle which he took a picture of before heading in.

Several years ago, Kenny attended a T-Rex feeding where he saw Rexy eating a goat. While that may sound like any other feeding, what was really special was what Kenny saw a few hours after that. Thanks to a few Jacksons Kenny was able to get into the viewing log while maintenance was cleaning up some kid's vomit. When he got to the window he saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Rexy was sleeping soundly about 100 feet away from the viewing log. The sight mystified him, after all it's not every day you get to see a huge and powerful titan taking a rest.

That is not what he saw now.

The glass to the viewing log was completely shattered and caved in, and he saw a few darts on the ground outside the tunnel along with numerous unknown animal tracks that headed into the rest of Rexy's attraction.

"What on earth happened here?" Kenny muttered to himself as he looked over the forest while clicking his tongue. "Rexy is definitely not here."

Kenny figured that Rexy may come here again but seeing as how something broke into a T-Rex's home he realized that probably wouldn't happen, plus he and Blue heard the tyrannosaurus stake out a new piece of land. Unfortunately, Kenny had no idea where else to look for Rexy for the time being so he decided to head back out to his jeep and hope for the best.

Upon reaching his ride he opened his backpack and took out his journal before writing in it.

[February 2nd, 2016- 10:53 am] I'm afraid that Blue's emotional state is getting horribly worse. Earlier this morning she had a panic attack shortly after we woke up. It was immensely terrifying for her and I'm worried about how it will affect her. Before I left to see Rexy, she asked me to write what's been happening to her. I'm taking this as both good and bad. Good because as with most troubling mental disturbances, asking for help is the first and hardest step. Bad because this was disturbingly quick, it's only been about three days (since I'm writing this on the morning of the 2nd). Usually people (a raptor in this case) hold onto these thoughts and worries for a long time before finally asking for help (if they decide to); for Blue to ask for help so early is very troubling.

While Blue's ability to speak English is increasing exponentially, so is her mental and emotional stress. On the 30th, Blue had a nightmare, at the time I thought it was normal considering what she had gone through the night before. For someone to be broken after the amount of resistance that I heard Blue was putting up, is very disturbing. On the night of the 31st, she had a horrifying nightmare that kept her up for the rest of the night. On the 1st of February, she had a hallucination that she saw her deceased sister Charlie and chased the hallucination into a place that now appears to cause troubling memories to resurface; this place was the paddock in which she and her sisters once lived.

As I mentioned earlier she had a panic attack this morning and she has also been having very troubling memories appear in her mind as well as terrifying nightmares almost every night since I rescued her. I'm deathly afraid of the effects that this kind of trauma will have on her mind.

If I don't act soon enough then Blue's depression will most likely worsen to the point where she will become suicidal.

I have to find a way to solve this problem and fast. I cannot stand seeing her in this state as it breaks my heart to hear her cry. If I have to die in order for her to be able to overcome this, then I would be more than happy to, that's how far I am willing to go to save her. I have to do this for her, I can't let her go through this, not alone.

I'm going to talk to Rexy about this. Even though I can't understand her hopefully she can give me some encouragement.

Be back later, Kenny Serno.

P.S. I'm worried that all of these troubling memories are due to the psychological trauma that she underwent during the I. Rex incident. During this incident, she lost all of her family. Echo was tossed aside after being snatched in that bitch's jaws, Delta was roasted alive, and Charlie, she was Blue's youngest sister. From what I remember hearing and what I myself experienced, she was the baby sister of the pack at the time she was blown up by an RPG thanks to friendly fire (you can thank the white bitch for turning the velociraptors on the people). What's worse than that? Blue saw her own sister be blown up right in front of her eyes.

Kenny closed the journal and returned it to its case which he then put in the passenger seat of the jeep and climbed up into the driver's seat, figuring the best place to start looking for the queen was where he heard her roar from a couple days prior.

[Hilton hotel- Room 634- San Francisco, CA / 11:00 am]

Claire Dearing held the door to her room open with her foot while she picked up her breakfast that she had gotten in the lobby.

Although it has been over a month since the Jurassic World incident, known as a Christmas catastrophe in the eyes of the press; Claire still felt as though people were staring daggers at her all the time, and she didn't feel comfortable in public so she tried to make herself as invisible as possible whenever she was around people. Claire sat down at the table that was next to the balcony door and placed her breakfast on the table. She then turned on the TV and switched to something that was anything but a news channel. No doubt Fox News edited Lowery's voice when he said only a few words while trying to get her away from some news reporters who were trying to provoke her into saying more things so that they could produce the entertainment that the people wanted.

She was about halfway through eating her pancakes when she heard a voice on the balcony of the adjacent room, which just so happened to be Owen Grady's along with his friend Barry Savan.

"You don't think I'm a bad person do you?" Owen asked.

"Okay… that's a random question to ask out of nowhere." Barry said and leaned against the railing. "Let me guess... it's about your girls."

"What? How did you know?" Owen wondered.

"Owen, we've worked together for over five years now, and I can tell when something is bothering you. You've been watching videos of Blue and her sisters for what feels like every day now." Barry told him. "You miss them."

"Yeah, I guess you could say that" Owen said as he stared out at the beach front.

"Guess? Come on man, I know how much you care for those girls." Barry noted. "You told me yourself; Blue, Delta, and Echo brought down the Indominus Rex and that they were doing great, and when Claire released Rexy to help, it was all over for that creature. Rexy threw her around into buildings while your girls snapped at the Indominus's legs and tail, and cornered her at the end of the street with Rexy and your girls blocking every possible exit she could have taken. Still can't believe the Mosasaur was the one to finish the job, crazy to think that she could have done that any time if she wanted."

"Okay, you're right about all of that, but they have to be missing me." Owen replied. "I raised them from the very day they hatched after those two raptors were captured from Sorna and bred here before Simon had the two sent home. They're family."

"You still left the island though." Barry added.

"I had to make sure that Claire's nephews got to safety, and I intended to go back after they were brought to their parents." Owen said and sighed. "After that though, the no-fly and boating restrictions were put in place again, and now it's just like what happened after the incident in San Diego."

"Owen, the girls are practically adults now, you said they'd be turning 22 or so on the 14th." Barry said. "I'm sure they'll be alright, you trained them and gave them the abilities they needed to survive. Hold on, no… I know what you're thinking and no."

"It's not a bad idea." Owen said and smiled.

"It's not?" Barry exclaimed. "You're thinking of going there and taking them off the island!"

"Well they can't just stay there! Who knows how long the dinosaurs will last now that we aren't feeding them. Here on the mainland we could hunt much more game and variety." Owen told him. "I'm even thinking about buying a plot of land upstate and building a cabin where me and them can live."

"Have you forgotten about San Diego?" Barry prodded.

"Of course not. I'm not a fucking idiot." He said and shot Barry a glare. "We'd stay together, and I'd make sure they understood to stay away from people."

"How would you even get there?" Barry wondered. "Again, it's a no-fly or sail zone and any people that do end up on the island are on their own. Coast Guard has gotten tired of people either going there to poach the dinosaurs or pet them and go 'oooooh, ahhh' and then scream for rescue."

Claire finally decided to make her presence known and knocked on the door. "Hey, I heard what you said, and I want to help."

"What? Ugh, Claire, come on, you know you can't go back there." Owen sighed. "This is something I need to do."

"You can't go back there either Owen remember? Besides, there's something I want to do there too." Claire said. "I never got to give Rexy my thanks."

"She's a T. Rex Claire, I doubt she can understand you." Owen said.

"I used to think that too, but I've always felt something powerful in Rexy, and she is very smart. I like to think they can understand us." Claire told him. "Your raptors could, maybe the Indominus could too."

"The Indominus Rex was a sociopath Claire, one that could have been avoided." Owen said.

"We could have done more for her, the entire damn incident at Jurassic World could have been avoided if we just treated her right!" Claire said. "But we're getting off topic. I have buis-matters there, I'm coming with you, and I have a way you can get there. If the Lawyers don't know I went there, they can't do anything to me. I'm going."

"Are you going to chime in Barry?" Owen asked.

"Oh no, I'm enjoying this far too much." He chuckled.

"Owen, I remember very well how absolutely heartbroken Blue, Delta, Echo, and Charlie were at having to be separated from Kenny. That man has been their best friend for their entire life and he meant the world to them. It really tore them apart, and I could hear every ounce of grief in their voice." She said as she looked him in the eyes. "I understand how these dinosaurs feel now, and I want to do my part to help make that known."

"Fine, what's your plan?" Owen asked as he turned to her.

"Where are you?"

"Help me!"

"Luz, I'm here! Where are you?!"

"Please help me! I'm stuck under these rocks! Please!"

"Don't worry, I see you! I'm going to get you out!"

"Please… help get me out of here! I'm so scared!"

"Luz, you're… you're bleeding and… oh my god…"

"I-I can't, I can't move my legs…"

"You're going to be fine Luz, everything's going to be all right, okay?"

"I- oh no. Watch out for those rocks!"

"Don't you worry about them sweetie, they're not going to hurt you."

"But-"

"But nothing. I am going to get you out of here, then we're going to catch some nice gallimimus meat, and we're going to see daddy okay?"

"Mommy."

"I know that he's gone but-"

"Mommy!"

"We're going to-"

"MOMMY!"

The sounds of tons of rocks crashing is heard, as cries of agony are mixed in. However, the cries were oddly repeated before they suddenly became sustained.

[12:45 pm]

Rexy's eyes shot open as she winced at the sunlight shining through the cirrus clouds in the sky in addition to Kenny's sustained honking on the horn.

"Finally." Kenny said after he stopped honking the horn and got out of the jeep. "I was just about to fire off a shot hoping that would wake you up."

Kenny walked over to Rexy who he saw was leaking tears as she tried to get up off the ground but was unable to due to how small the garage was.

"That was some nightmare that you were having." Kenny noted as he walked over to her, that was when he noticed the same kinds of tracks that he saw back at Rexy's paddock. "Rexy, what happened here?"

Rexy only gave a quiet murmur as an answer as she looked away from Kenny.

"Rexy, please. Tell me what is happening here." Kenny worriedly pleaded. "First I find that there are quite a few crushed or destroyed vehicles around your paddock, then I discover that there are quite a few tracks of an unknown species in there, and now I see a dinosaur who is starting to develop bags under her eyes. What is going on?"

Rexy huffed and growled as she looked away from Kenny, shifting her gaze to the wires and hinges of the door to start working a way out.

"Rexy, I care about you too. If something's bothering you then I want to help you." Kenny reminded, but the saurian ignored him for the time being until her stomach growled very loudly, which sounded like a loud car engine to him. "Hey, I can see that you're obviously hungry. Come on, let's go get some food at gallimimus valley and then we can talk about what is going on."

Rexy sighed and nodded her head once before she tried to push the door open but was unable to do so. She pushed harder against it as she tried pushing against the wall, knocking over shelves of ceramic mixtures and stacks of plastic crates but was still unable to push it open. Growling she stepped back however much she could and tried to slam herself into the door, only to feel small chunks of stone bounce off her back and neck as they fell.

"Hey I'd stop doing that if I were you, I don't think anyone's been performing maintenance on the structure of this place for the past two decades. You must have accidentally caused the door to lock itself when you shut it." Kenny said after Rexy gave up. "I'll go see if I can unlock it. Hopefully you didn't break it when you slammed it shut."

Kenny then walked over to the maintenance shed for the garage that Rexy was in and saw that there were the same kinds of tracks that he saw back at her paddock and in front of the garage. He noticed that no power was being distributed to the building and therefore he wouldn't need an access code to get in. He also saw claw marks on the doors and readied his tranquilizer rifle, just in case there was a dinosaur still inside.

"Rexy, who's hunting you." Kenny muttered as he put his body to the door so that if there was a dinosaur inside, it would leap past him since his body would be out of the way.

Kenny turned the handle and quickly swung the door open before jumping out in front of it and aimed his tranquilizer rifle inside. While not seeing a dinosaur inside, he decided to play it safe and slowly moved the rifle past the door frame. After not feeling it move he quickly swung around and aimed it at the corner of the room that he couldn't see. He sighed in relief at not seeing a dinosaur inside and so he walked over to the switch on the right wall and pulled it. Kenny then walked out and looked at the locks on the door. He made a sort of hissing noise as he was disappointed to see that they hadn't moved at all.

"Either the hydraulic fluid leaked out over the years or you broke the system when you slammed the door shut." Kenny noted. "Regardless, I'm going to have to look at the wires and see if I can break them so that you can slip out."

"[Just do what you can to get me out of here.]" Rexy sighed and pulled her head back to sit up. "[I don't want to be stuck in here.]"

"Don't worry, Rexy. I promise you that I am going to get you out of there." Kenny said as he gave her a reassuring smile before he started to climb the wires. As he did he took notice of their bolted connections to the frame of the door, and he was relieved to see that they were somewhat rusted on the bolts and even the wires themselves were slightly rusted. He shimmied over to the left side and he was even more relieved to see that they were in the same condition as those on the right.

"Hey, I got some good news for you, Rexy!" Kenny called down to her as he climbed down. "The metal wires and their bonds are pretty rusted. That means that they're brittle and should be easy to break."

Rexy smiled at that and was happy that she would be able to get out of her very cramped shelter soon. She watched as Kenny went back to his jeep and pulled a toolbox out of the jeep and took a hacksaw out of it. Kenny came back over to her and started to climb the wires before he stopped and looked at Rexy.

"Oh, I need to let you know that even though these wires are kind of rusted, that there may still be some tension in them. So they may snap when I cut them. I'll do my best to watch out when I get up there okay?" Kenny warned. "I'll start at the top because if I don't make a big enough opening, then I won't be able to get back up there."

With that, Kenny started climbing the wires on the right side of the gate and climbed all the way up to the 4th wire from the top and locked his legs by lifting his right leg over the 3rd wire. Once he had done that he anchored his right foot by moving his right leg back over the 4th wire and hooking the top of his foot under it. Once he leaned back to make sure that he was stable he saw Rexy looking up at him with worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Rexy. I'm just making sure that I'm locked into the railing so that I can start cutting." Kenny said before he did just that.

"Please don't scare me like that, Kenny." Rexy thought as Kenny sawed away at the metal wires. "I really care about your safety and I don't want to see you get hurt."

Luckily, Kenny didn't as he was sawing away at the wires. As he finished sawing away at the top wire he ducked as he saw it bowing outward and slung to the sides of the shed once it broke. Noticing how it flew outward, Kenny decided to try something and climbed down a few wires before shifting his position so that he was on the inside of the garage, and moved so that he was locked in and started to saw at the wires again, but this time on the opposite side so neither of them would get hit. Kenny remembered that this is like what his father taught him when he was cutting down trees in Washington. Instead of chopping only on one side of a tree with an axe, he cut a small notch in the side of the tree that he wanted it to fall, and then he started chopping on the other side of the tree. That way when the tree fell, it's weight would already be focused on the small notch. Kenny repeated this process for the rest of the ropes and in as little as an hour and a half, he had cut through the wires completely. The only thing that he couldn't cut through was the one foot thick horizontal bar of steel in the middle.

"Okay, Rexy, let's get you out of there." Kenny said as he motioned for Rexy to come on out.

Rexy tried to crawl through on her stomach but was unable to due to the bar of steel above her, which she couldn't crouch under. Rexy decided to try sticking out her legs through the gap and shimmying out on her side. While it took her a few minutes, she was able to slide out and when she did she nuzzled Kenny affectionately while purring in gratitude. Kenny laughed and started cracking up when she decided to lick him. Kenny tried to ask her to stop but was unable to and was forced to wait a minute until her stomach started rumbling even louder than it did before.

"All right, now we can get you some real food from a hunt." Kenny laughed as he got up and walked over to his jeep.

Rexy pushed herself up with her arms, stretching until she heard several audible cracks as she arched her back. She stood up fully and leaned forward on each of her legs before moving her head and upper body from side to side. After she loosened up her muscles so that she was comfortable she looked towards Kenny and saw him admiring her. As the sunlight shone down on them, Kenny couldn't help but look at how it reflected off her beautiful brown scales. He was so fascinated that a T-Rex so old could still be so strong and magnificent. He knew that while she still had the power to completely crush him, he also knew that she wouldn't. She was his friend and they cared for each other.

"[Ready?]" Rexy chuckled as Kenny shook his head and laughed as he turned on the jeep before the two of them headed off to Gallimimus Valley.

"That is up for the jury to decide. We know that you had good intentions for Jurassic World as well as the creation of the Indominous Rex."

[Gallimimus Valley- 1:48 pm]

Since Rexy was a little bit more awake now she was able to catch a gallimimus with some effort, and by some she needed Kenny to shoot it when she stumbled over a small hill. She really wished that she had been able to catch it yet was thankful that Kenny was there to help her. Last night Rexy had tried to chase a gallimimus but had decided to call it quits after stumbling on a log and then a boulder later. It was bad enough that she had poor vision making things up close pretty fuzzy; whereas she had greater vision the farther away whatever she was looking at was, which didn't work well with hunts. There was a reason the staff of Jurassic World used flares whenever it was time for Rexy to eat a meal or for a show, most of the time she couldn't see the damn animals they brought out.

Every human that she came across said that she couldn't see them if they didn't move. That was complete and total bullshit according to her. She could see them if they were standing still, it was just hard for her to tell whether prey was a blur that was moving or a blur that wasn't. She particularly wanted to chase moving blurs since if those blurs were in fact prey, not doing so could mean a meal escaping. Since she was so popular and the only T-Rex on a regularly visited island, everyone assumed that anything they heard about her was true.

"I really hate that I created a stereotype about my species." Rexy thought to herself as she chewed on a gallimimus leg while lying down.

Kenny was sitting on a log about seven feet away from her so that he wouldn't get any blood splattered on him. He was busy applying spray paint to the motorcycle that he had found the day before, thankfully the wind was blowing away from Rexy and her food.

"You know," Kenny said, drawing Rexy's attention. "I'm glad that you were here to take out that giant white bitch that was terrorizing us, and… and took Delta, Echo, and Charlie away from me and Blue… at least I got to say goodbye to them. Owen was right though, if I hadn't it would have eaten away at me forever."

"[It was nothing.]" Rexy chuckled as she remembered thrashing the hybrid around and slamming her into buildings.

"So, I can see that you got a lot of scars from your fight with her, are you doing okay now? No dislocated limbs, lost teeth, broken bones?" Kenny asked with Rexy shaking her head at everything, except for when he asked about teeth. Rexy opened up her mouth and showed that she lost a couple of teeth. One on the right side of her upper jaw, and another on her right lower jaw, although he could see that they were starting to grow back too.

"How about everything else?" Kenny said as Rexy made a "so-so" motion with her claws before gesturing to the rest of the island. "Considering? Yeah, I hear ya girl."

Kenny finished painting Blue's eye onto the sides of the fuel tank of the motorcycle.

"I'm glad that I was able to feed you every single time that I came here, it pays to have friends in high places." Kenny continued as he finished painting the motorcycle. "Still I doubt that they would've gone easy on me if I got caught giving you that goat! Remember that?"

"I still can't believe that our birthdays are on the same day!" Kenny noted. "Talk about the luck of the Irish huh?"

Rexy huffed her agreement. She then pointed at Kenny and moved her arm up in large increments.

"Now what are you saying? That I grow up so quickly?" Kenny asked.

Rexy nodded her head and acted like she was using a walker. This made Kenny fall off the log while laughing at Rexy's charade. She always did know how to make him laugh ever since he was a small child.

"You? Old?" Kenny laughed as he crawled back onto the log. "Don't make me laugh, oh wait, you just did. Please you must be like early mid- 50s or something in human years, and from what I heard you kicked the Indominus's ass."

"[Dead-on kiddo, and damn right I did.]" Rexy cracked up until Kenny's tone changed.

"Still, Rexy. I really don't like the fact that you're not telling me something, I can hear it in your voice." Kenny said, causing Rexy to look at him with a shocked expression. "You keep saying and acting like you're fine, you say that everything is okay, and that nothing bad is going to happen to you. But… you keep saying that, over and over again, and it feels kind of off. So, are you going to tell me what just happened last night?"

"[Kenny, I don't want to talk about it.]" Rexy sternly said as she glared at him.

"Rexy!" Kenny pressed in a louder voice, startling her a little. "A pack of dinosaurs broke into your old home and the tracks there matched the ones I found outside that shed you were hiding in! They cornered you in that garage back there and tried to kill you! Someone or something is hunting you and I want to know who."

"[You don't need to worry about it! I can handle it! They're not some huge dinosaur or whatever, they're a bunch of runts I could step on and they'd be dinner!]" The Tyrannosaurus growled. "[I am handling it!]"

"Look, I know you think you're tough and that you can stand against anything without losing a fight, but Lowery showed me the video of the fight on main street. You got your ass kicked by her, and if Blue hadn't recovered, you'd be dead right now." Kenny said and looked at the ground. "Did you really think I'd believe that you won with all those scars and missing teeth? You lost Rexy, and I don't want to see you killed bec-"

A deafening growl shook Kenny out of his speech and sent a shiver down his body, as Rexy had somehow managed to get up and in front of him without him even feeling it, as when he opened his eyes he saw Rexy's cold, yellow ones glaring right at him. Right beneath them, the edges of her mouth curled back to reveal her foot long teeth only a few inches away from him.

"[Don't you ever dare say such a thing to me again child. Even after all the years we have known each other and everything you know about what I am, I can't believe that you would actually think anyone could beat me! I have won dozens of fights and challenges to my territory, and now no one dares challenge me!]" Rexy snarled. "[I don't fucking care what you saw, and I don't fucking care who showed it to you. I had it under control, and no matter what you think I still would have won even if Blue hadn't shown up. I! DIDN'T! LOSE!]"

"Rexy what has gotten into you? What is your problem?! Someone is concerned for their friend and your first reaction is to threaten them when they're just being honest? I don't care if it hurts your ego, you lost that fight, and you got your ass handed to you hard." Kenny said as he stared right back into her eyes as she snarled even louder, watching as her pupils shrank and her eyelids narrowed before she stepped back and clenched her jaws shut, but Kenny was one step ahead of her and stopped her with a point. "Don't you dare take another step girl, if you think I haven't been paying attention to your body and that you were planning to ram your head into me, you're an idiot. Tell me who chased you into that garage, and that's an order."

"[YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GIVE ME AN ORDER?!]" The tyrannosaurus roared before she felt a sharp pain right at the tip of her snout and noticed that Kenny had grabbed her nostrils with both hands and dug his nails into them.

"YES I DO! Listen Rexy, I may not be able to understand every goddamn word you're saying but I get the meaning of it!" Kenny yelled and tightened his grip on her nostrils. "Do you have even the slightest idea how fucking terrified I was for you when Lowery showed me that video of you fighting the Indominus Rex last night? I watched you get slashes all over your face and neck, I watched you get stomped on like you were a fucking spider, and the Indominus threw you into the stands and slammed you to the ground so hard I thought your back was broken! She was knelt over you and was about to snap your own goddamn neck! YOU! ALMOST! DIED!"

Rexy huffed and clenched her eyes shut as she yanked her head away from Kenny and started to walk off, sighing as she didn't even bother to lift her head up until she heard something she never thought she would from Kenny.

"I almost killed myself when I tried to hide the pain I felt." He said, making the tyrannosaurus freeze mid-step and slowly turned around to face him. "Do you remember the very first time I actually visited you, rather than simply assist in feeding you?"

Rexy nodded, and slowly walked towards him to lay down across from him in the grasses as she reached out with a claw to him.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Well I think what happened there is an obvious example of how good intentions don't always make good results. I never meant for that to happen, but it did."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[November 28th, 2008 - 1:15 am]

Rexy was snoring soundly as she laid sprawled out on her side in a makeshift bed of grasses and leaves, absolutely worn out after a long day of strolling up and eating goats and the like. She began to stir when she heard branches shuffling and something heading towards her, and immediately got her feet under her as she quickly looked around, sniffing the air and watching the ground very intently until she saw a young male stepping out of the brush.

While she did recognize the human child, it was the fact that he was here in her territory that left her dumbfounded, so much that she only watched as he slowly shuffled toward her and made quiet sniffling noises until he wrapped his arms around one of her ankles and those quiet noises turned into wailing that she didn't know how to respond to. Rexy knew that Kenny was crying and what it meant for humans most of the time, but she didn't dare move to try and gather more information, lest she risk accidentally killing a human child inside the world-renowned park.

"My dad died." He said, and his behavior suddenly made sense to her. Rexy took a step back with her free leg and gently pulled him off of her with her claws so she could curl around him and hold him close to her as she felt the weight of the news sink in.

Rexy held Kenny tight to her for her own comfort as he was for his, and the large dinosaur felt herself begin to cry with him as she remembered that it hadn't even been more than a year since she had seen her old friend. He would always be up at the crack of dawn to visit her and prepare her morning meals for her, even treating her to special morning feedings on the fog-laden island by letting her actually hunt and chase her food. Of course he wasn't supposed to since John, Muldoon, and the other managers wanted her to become accustomed to eating goats that were tied to a pole close to the road, but neither of them cared and Luke was always able to work out of it since he was one of her primary caretakers.

Rexy looked down at Kenny and caught his shimmering green eyes looking up at her, the light of his soul almost seeming to shine through them. She still remembered the first time she met the young child on the night of Jurassic World's opening day, and seeing such a kind young man that was his father. She could count the number of times she saw him on her claws ever since she reunited with him after the years since they had seen each other before during the time of Jurassic Park.

"[Kenny, what happened?]" She asked and sniffed as she stroked his back as delicately as she could under his shirt.

"He… he was…" Kenny tried to tell her, but couldn't manage more than those words out before he began crying once again, and Rexy immediately pressed him to her scales once again, letting her warmth wash over him to soothe his mind, encouraging him to release all of his emotions. As he heard gentle rumbles coming out of her throat, he held her chest even tighter and tried to speak once again. "I wa-wasn't told everything… but… he… he was in a helico-copter when… when an-another sh… shot a missile at it and… sent it… crashing… no one survived."

"[I'm so sorry Kenny, I truly am. I've missed him too, and… I can't believe I'll never see him again. Look, let me tell you something.]" She said, and Kenny pulled his head back to look up at her wet eyes. "[I lost a family member in a rockslide about 10 years ago, and even now it's still hanging over me, but I didn't want to let that ruin the rest of my life. I realized that if I never stopped thinking about it, I'd just dig myself deeper into a hole that I'd never want to climb out of. I'm not saying to just forget about it, this is something that we'll both have to come to terms with and accept, and hope that we'll see him when we pass on.]"

Kenny hugged her tight once again and let his tears wet her scales as he embraced her warm and titanic body.

"[I'm going to miss him dearly too Kenny, I really will, but if you ever need to talk, I will be here to listen.]" She whispered. "[Even if you can't find a way to sneak in here, I will be here for you.]"

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

"What I couldn't bring myself to tell you during that time was… that just a couple months before then, I almost shot myself with my dad's gun. I had found my father's gun hidden in his bedroom a couple years before that, but no one knew that I had found it after I put it back since I knew how dangerous they were." Kenny said. "I had sat in my room for about an hour just holding the gun in my hands. I fiddled with it, pointed it at myself a few times, but I never pulled the trigger. Strangely, even though I felt horrible, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Giving up on the thought of ending my life, I put the gun back again and when my mother came home from work, I told her that I was feeling so sad and that I wanted to die, and that I almost killed myself. I started getting therapy and treatment, but I wanted to come here around Thanksgiving, because I want you to know that I see you as actual family."

Rexy smiled and crawled closer to Kenny to nuzzle her snout against him, and Kenny got up to rest his arms on her and hug her as best he could, the two staying like this for several minutes under the warm sun before Kenny decided to speak.

"I'm sure you know that I can understand you dinosaurs on a deeper level than any other person, and you can understand us humans, even though I'm not sure how, but it doesn't matter." Kenny said as he sat in front of Rexy, his hand resting on her claws. "I'm just glad I've been able to have a nana like you ever since I started coming here, and that you have seen me as such a dear family friend as well. So, I hope you can understand why I'd get upset and worried when someone is trying to kill my family."

"[I do Kenny, so I'll tell you whose been trying to kill and eat me. I'm being hunted by a pack called Toxic Moon. They're a species that not much is known about to the humans, and they're called Troodon Pectinodon that use neurotoxins in their saliva to paralyze prey to use them as incubators for their eggs, and there are at least 60 of them, although in the last few weeks I've eaten several of them.]" Rexy explained in varying huffs and quiet bellows. "[They're not all bad, it's just a specific group in the pack led by the sister of their alpha that wants to kill and eat me. The alpha male never participates in any of the hunts that have been led against me and he hasn't to this day; of course the humans controlling the surface and parts of the tunnels underneath haven't helped, but Spark is cool and his sister Ciera is insane.]"

"Well you might as well just stay with us. You have friends, family, and people here to help you." Kenny said. "You can be confident in your abilities and your strength, just don't be overconfident okay?"

"[Of course, and I will be staying from time-to-time, but as you probably heard I got a nice piece of territory recently and I really love it. I'm not going to just give it up because some runts want me dead due to my connection with humans.]" Rexy continued as Kenny slowly pet her head. "[With Jurassic World in ruins and all of the security here gone, every dinosaur is free again, and the invisible fences have been shut down. They may be able to roam freely, but so can I, and I won't let them take my land.]"

"Just be careful alright? Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it alright?" Kenny asked, and she nodded. "Anyways, the reason I've spent most of the afternoon looking for you is because of Blue. We seriously need to talk about her. I'm not sure if you noticed earlier but Blue's mental and emotional state is getting much, much worse. Far beyond what she was going through when those Ingen bastards tried to rape her. She's been having horrific nightmares, hallucinations, and even this morning she had a terrifying panic attack."

Rexy's eyes widened and she made sure to straighten up and pay attention, as was nothing like what Blue was like the night of the hybrid's death.

"I'm not sure why, but I know that all of this isn't just because of Ingen, whatever happened that night; it seemed to serve as some kind of trigger for her, I just wish that I could find out what she has." Kenny said as he went on. "I mean I have an idea, but I don't want to make any assumptions, although I do think it's because of what happened when the park fell and how her alpha and father weren't around for her to gain comfort from. What's worse is how quickly it's developing. They say the first step: asking for help, is always the hardest. Well to have her ask for it after only about a few days is what frightens me the most, even though I'm glad she told me."

"You see, that's why I am fighting to lift her spirits." Kenny said as he looked up at the skies, which were full of cirrus clouds. "The night that I rescued her, I knew that she was scared of something. In that hotel, I saw the same kind of fear and grief that I went through so many years ago. I can't let her experience that, I can't let her do what I almost did, she means so much to me, and I won't leave her to suffer on her own."

Rexy huffed in understanding.

"Earlier I had talked to Yumi, this Dilophosaurus that we rescued yesterday, and Blue about creating some kind of language that we could all use to communicate with each other. From what Blue told me, only she can talk as Yumi tried it before but she can't even say a single letter, and I don't know what about Blue is different." Kenny suggested. "I figured that we could try sign language. I realized that since you three aren't as dexterous and don't have as many fingers as humans do then it will take some work to modify the signs but I know that we can do it. Do you like the sound of that?"

Rexy nodded her head in agreement.

"Glad to hear it. You know, what's been happening to Blue is the whole reason why I was wanting to start this language project." Kenny replied. "That way I can communicate with you and Yumi when Blue isn't around to translate. I know that while you can understand me and that I can pretty much guess what you're saying; it would still be nice if I knew exactly what you two were saying. You know what I'm saying?"

Kenny laughed when Rexy groaned at his bad joke.

"I heard that you, Blue, and Yumi treat each other like family. Has it always been like that? I mean since you all met each other after the incident with the I. Rex?" Kenny asked.

Rexy tapped her free arm on the ground once.

"1 week or 1 month?" Kenny wondered, with Rexy shaking her head at both of his guesses. "Well it obviously hasn't been a year, and Ingen was already here a month after; you mean she came to you that night?"

Rexy nodded her head, knowing that she will never forget how Blue was barely holding on that night. It was such a frightening time, to see and hear Blue wailing and shaking as Yumi walked in with her.

"Wow, you three must really know each other well then." Kenny said. "You seem to be treating Blue like an actual child of yours, and I can tell that you really care about her. Have you ever had children of your own?"

Rexy let out a deep sigh and turned her head to look into the distance. "[I'd really rather not talk about it.]"

"Too sensitive of a topic?" Kenny figured when Rexy stayed silent after that, to which she nodded her head at.

"That's okay, I won't pressure you like earlier if you don't want to talk about it." Kenny relented. "You want to go catch some more food for Blue and Maria before we head back?"

Rexy practically grinned at the word "hunt" and immediately stood up, stepping in place in such a way that defied how old she was.

"Oh Rexy, can I please take a picture with you? I found my phone mixed in with some of the supplies I brought to the innovation center and got it charged up. I'm thinking about sending it to my mother and showing her who my new nana is. Oh, you're cool if I think of you that right?" Kenny asked. Rexy smiled sweetly and nodded her head, and Kenny took out his cell phone. "Smile. Alright it looks great! I can't wait to show this to her, she's probably really worried about me, so I want to explain where I am and what's happening.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"Well regardless it happened. While you may not be held accountable for the lives of those who were lost, we still need to give the people some form of justice so that they may leave you alone."

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

[6:10 pm- Dinosaur medical center]

"[Do you know what's taking them so long?]" Blue wondered, finally calmed down after her panic attack long ago. "[They've been gone all day; then again so were we yesterday.]"

"[Maybe they're just chilling in the sunlight.]" Yumi suggested. "[Sure is a great day out. Too bad we can't be out there.]"

"[I know right.]" Blue agreed. "[And thanks for staying near me after Kenny left.]"

"[No problem.]" Yumi replied before coughing.

"[How do you know how to use a tablet?]" Blue wondered.

"[Uhh, luck?]" Yumi nervously replied, which Blue noticed. "[By the way Blue, can I ask you something?]"

"[Sure, what is it?]" Blue replied.

"[This sign language thing, what is it exactly?]" Yumi asked. "[Is it what I think it is? You seemed to know about it.]"

"[Oh that? It's just another form of language that the humans use.]" Blue answered. "[It's mainly used by people who can't hear. It involves gestures with the arms and hands. So yeah, you were right if that's what you were thinking.]"

"[Oh, cool.]" Yumi said. "[How do you know that?]"

"[Owen tried to teach it to me but I never really picked up on it.]" Blue told her.

"[Why not?]" Yumi asked. "[It sounds like it would be really helpful for you.]"

"[Eh. I'm sure it would have been.]" Blue replied. "[I thought it was too complicated though. And I especially didn't like the homework that came with it.]"

"[Homework?]" Yumi laughed, accidentally doing it too hard and starting to cough again before clearing her throat and talking again. "[So, what you're saying is that you were too lazy to do it.]"

"[Heh, kind of.]" Blue giggled while rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "[But this was like four, or so years ago, a few months after I became beta. Despite me being beta I was really immature back then.]"

"[Like tomboyish?]" Yumi guessed. "[Still weren't you getting food rewards back then? Wasn't that enough incentive?]"

"[Really tomboyish]" Blue laughed. "[And yeah I was. But back then when I was looking at it like risk/reward I thought that a bit of deer meat wasn't worth all that work. Eventually Owen and Claire decided that I 'couldn't learn sign language'.]"

Both sisters heard the sound of a motor approaching.

"[Speaking of food.]" Yumi noted. "[Kenny's back with the chickens, assuming he found some.]"

Then they felt several large bumps.

"[And Rexy's here too.]" Blue said. "[I'll go help Kenny make that soup.]"

Blue then headed out of the room before hearing Yumi call her.

"[Remember what we practiced.]" Yumi reminded before breaking into a fit of coughing again.

"[But I only got the syllables down, I still need to work on the word flow!]" Blue replied.

"[We'll get that tomorrow.]" Yumi said after clearing her throat.

"[Alright I'll do my best.]" Blue agreed.

"[That's my girl!]" Yumi cheered.

Blue then went into the kitchen to help with the cooking.

"So, you're up for it? I don't want to force you into anything. I still feel a little bad for making things personal during the incident." Claire spoke into the phone while Owen and Barry were eating dinner inside.

"Oh no don't be, you really helped me, plus seeing Rexy kick ass was awesome!" Lowery told her. "As for flying there, yeah. It shouldn't be too hard, I can't even remember how many boats and aircraft have gotten to the islands and not been stopped."

"Well they've generally been left alone to fend for themselves if they go the islands despite the risks, and have only been rescued usually if someone has friends in very high places." Claire reminded. "Thanks though, I'm glad to hear it."

"No problem, I think this might be fun." Lowery added.

"Don't say that. Okay well, I know. I think so too but these are still wild dinosaurs even though they are smart. Anyways, I'll let them know. See ya later." Claire said and hung up.

[8:30 pm- Isla Nublar]

"That's it Blue!" Kenny cheered as Blue stirred the soup with her claws, which she was surprisingly able to do. "I think if we do a great job gardening here then you can be a great cook in no time!"

"You... r-really... think, s-so?" Blue asked.

"I know it!" Kenny said. "If you can progress this quickly with speaking then I'm sure cooking will be snap for you!"

Blue lightly blushed at that, thankful that her scales covered it up.

"Alright now it's time to put it in the bowls." Kenny said as he turned off the fan.

Kenny and Blue then grabbed a ladle from the silverware drawer and began spooning the soup into a couple of bowls. After they were done Kenny grabbed the two bowls and brought them into a large office next to the one that he used to examine Yumi. He then came back into the kitchen and brought the large bowl that the soup was in for Rexy.

"Here's dinner, Bon appetite." Kenny said as he put the large bowl on the windowsill. "Here's your chicken soup, Nana Rexy."

"Nana?" Blue asked as she looked up at them.

"Yeah, she's cool with it." Kenny said as he leaned against a counter. "She's always been like a motherly figure to me, a second mom or a grandma if you will."

"R-really?" Blue asked. "That's so n-nice o-of you. M-mind if I t-talk t-t-to yours?"

"Of course not! I'm sure she'd love to see you too. You want to sleep outside tonight?" He agreed and made her smile as she nodded.

They then decided to eat their dinner and had the soup finished in a few minutes while Yumi went outside to sleep. Kenny took the bowls into the kitchen and set them in the sink where he got some dish soap out as well and began to wash the bowls so that way they wouldn't get food stuck to the inside of them. About ten minutes later he had them drying on a rack and was updating his journal

[February 2nd, 2016- 7:00 pm] Well I think it's safe to say that we're all here for each other, Yumi, Rexy, and I are all going to do our best to help Blue get through whatever she's experiencing. I know exactly the kind of grief that she's going through because I once went through the same kind. I'm just glad that it hasn't gotten to the point where she has tried to kill herself yet.

I'm glad that Rexy is more than willing to be a part of our pack (well, it's more like a family). It really means a lot to me that Rexy is more than willing to look out and care for us, and she's even willing to look after me like a grandmother would. Sarah Harding was right, T-Rexes are loving and protective parents. In fact, Yumi also seems to be great at caring for us; she acts more like an aunt though. I wonder if she ever had any children?

Speaking of children, I sure would have loved to see the juvenile T-Rex that was supposed to be at the original Jurassic Park, I wonder whatever happened to it. If there are any baby or dinosaur kids on this island then it's our job to care for them as well; even if they are herbivores. It's just not right to eat kids before they have a chance to grow up (I know that Apatosauruses are hunted while they are still kids due to them not having any natural predators when they are fully grown). In all honesty, I'm not sure if I would be a great parent. I know that I can be pretty caring but I don't think that I would be ready for the responsibilities that come with being a dad. I'm sure that if I ask Rexy then she would be able to give me some advice on caring for kids (Btw, I wonder if she ever had any of her own, regardless, it's personal for her and I wouldn't want to beat it out of her). I know that she would be more than happy to help.

Remember when I talked about a pack? The morning after I rescued Blue I decided that since her alpha left her all alone on this island, and that velociraptors can't survive very well on their own, that she needed a pack. That's where I came in. I decided that we would form a new pack, together. There's only four of us in this "pack" so far . What's it called? It's...

Honestly, we haven't come up with a name yet. We should get on that...

Well since we don't have anything else to do I think we're going to head to sleep now.

Goodnight, Kenny Serno.

P.S. Rexy's hide is so soft! I love its soft, leathery texture, it's so nice to sleep against!

"Okay, everybody ready?" Kenny asked as he came outside, and Blue and Rexy nodded as he came over to the Tyrannosaurus and sat down against a tree in front of her while Yumi slept under a tree farther away. Blue got up from where she was and came over to lay down with her head resting in Kenny's lap as he pulled out his phone to do a video call. "Here we go."

"Kenneth Edward Serno…" A woman with dark brown hair and red-rimmed glasses said, making Kenny cringe at the use of his full name. "You better have a damn good excuse for why a 'fishing trip' has taken so long and why you haven't answered any of my calls."

"Ummm, would you believe me if I said I was actually visiting some friends and was going to call you but lost my phone and had to charge it up?" He asked.

"No, because you could have used their phone. Where are you and who are you hanging out with? I'm worried sick about you." She wondered.

"Okay wellll, I can kind of answer both of those at once." Kenny answered and held his arm out to put Blue in the frame of the screen. "You remember Blue right?"

"... what are you doing back on that island? It's off-limits which means you're trespassing!" She asked. "I want you back home."

"I can't do that mom." Kenny sighed. "These are my friends here, and Rexy has been really cool to hunt with. Look, Blue means so much to me, you know that. We've been best friends ever since she hatched and I first met her a while after that."

"Kenny, come on… use your head kid, she's a wild animal and-" She started to say before the phone was yanked out of Kenny's hands.

"No I'm not! Mrs-Mrs… fucking… r-real-really thought I c-could do this without cra-crack… gah! Without cracking speech!" Blue said as she groaned and put a claw on her snout.

"He… hellllllllooooooo?" Kenny's mother asked as she looked at the screen, trying to peek around Blue.

"Ha-hang on I-I wa-want to do t-t-this." Blue sighed and picked her head up. "Do-do you th-think I'm wild? Da-dangerous?"

"Sort of? You're a velociraptor."

"Well, I a-a-am, bbbbbbbbbut I'm no-not to him." Blue said and gestured to Kenny. "I re-really care ab-about him a-a-and have for my ent-entire life. You p-p-probably know that f-from when you'd visit too though."

"Look Miss… Blue… it's dangerous there, and I love my son. I want him close to me."

"Please! I und-understand your love and care f-for your son, I re-really do! Kenny has be-been my life-long friend, and he means so much to me." Blue pleaded. "My sist-sisters are dead and the ma-man I had as a father just left me here to suffer alone. Kenny cares so m-much about me, and… I don't want to lose him. Please… can he please stay here and help me?"

"Can I speak to him please?"

"Of c-c-course, here you go Ken." Blue said and handed him the phone before lying down next to him with her head resting on his shoulders.

"Kenny, are you truly happy there? I don't mean to imply that you aren't, just answer the question." His mother asked.

"I really am. You know I've always felt like this place was a home, and that dinosaurs were truly my friends. I can understand them far better than anyone else can, and I want to make them happy and protect them from anyone who would want to hurt them. I love it here." Kenny said.

"Very well, never could keep you away from there anyways. Besides, you'd always start crying and throwing a hissy-fit when we had to leave when you were a kid." She said.

"Mom! Please don't say stuff like that!" Kenny hissed and started to turn red when Blue began to laugh.

"Is Rexy there?" His mom asked, and he nodded to turn the phone to Rexy, who squinted at the screen and tilted her head. "Hey there girl."

"[Hello?]" Rexy asked, leaning closer.

"Sh-she said 'hello'." Blue translated.

"Oh that reminds me, I think Rexy is farsighted, so I don't think she can see you." Kenny said.

"Well, I can see her, and it's nice to see you again Rexy." His mom said and waved. "You all look like you're having fun camping. Part of me believe it or not is wishing I was there too, I used to take Kenny camping all the time on weekends when my husband was still alive, and still did it afterwards. Keep him fed alright?"

"[Sure thing.]" Rexy agreed and Kenny turned the phone back to him.

"Alright, well I'll talk to you later, goodbye mom. Love you." Kenny said.

"Love you too Kenny, stay safe." She said and hung up.

"She's rea-really nice." Blue said and looked up at Kenny with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, she's really cool." Kenny said and yawned. "Well, ready to get some sleep?"

Rexy smiled and pat the ground that was right next to where her arms were. Kenny and Blue smiled and walked over to her and laid against her soft hide. Kenny laid his head upon Rexy's arm while Blue laid in front of him and rested her head on his shoulder. Kenny grabbed the last couple of blankets and, after some adjustments, finally got them over him and Blue. The last thing that Kenny thought before he fell asleep was: "I love my family."

"Yes, your honor. I will honor these terms and conditions in their truth and entirety until they are removed by your power."

"Good. Now are there any objections to this?"

The court was silent

"Very well. Now Claire Dearing, I am not saying that you will do this, but I must say it for legal reasons: 'If you are found to have removed any dinosaur from Isla Nublar or any dinosaur on any of the islands in the Five Deaths, then these terms and conditions will be revoked immediately and you shall be immediately arrested and held accountable for the lives of those who were lost during the Indominous Rex incident."

"Very well. This meeting is adjourned."

Well this chapter sure was something.

I honestly never thought about putting the part with Kenny's history with depression, Lowery working at Kenny's fishing company in San Francisco, or Kenny calling Rexy "Mom." I just kind of ignored my notes and put them on the back burner and just kept on typing; everything after Kenny waiting for Rexy was just free typing. I love how this chapter has so many family vibes to it. Updated note: NEVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. IGNORE YOUR NOTES. As Phineas T. Ratchet once (probably said) "Outlines, people, outlines!"

I hope that you noticed the little hints that I put throughout this chapter as well as Claire in a court case.

Also, I'm going to be trying these previews for future chapters.

Next time on Jurassic Lands: It's a school day. Rexy and Yumi are curious as to how they can learn sign language and Blue, is just bored out of her mind. But it's not all pretty, as we see just how far Ingen is willing to go to take back Isla Nublar, and what abominations they are willing to create to do so.

Join us next time on chapter 8: Code-name: The Chimera and The Banshee.

P.S. After talking with Mozart about how I can't decide on what story to do next, I'll leave it up to you. I will give hints and notes to these two stories that you can choose from every chapter. These will be in a poll on my profile page.

Option A: Torrential Gusts (A prequel to Shun and Skyress: True Love that provides vital info about my OC in it).

Twist Procella was so overjoyed when he met a Bakugan that he named Nova. This

brother and sister duo would go through many challenges together: traveling through the doom dimension, brawling Mira to enter the resistance, & rescuing a Bakugan trap named Zyga from Lync. Join us as we recall these exploits. M for violence, injuries, and language.

Option B: Undertale: Mirror Mirror (I don't have a summary for this yet). Will be a lemon. Asriel and Frisk are now one loving couple. However, their love and world could be destroyed in an instant by a person and monster that they never wished to see again or meet. One from another timeline, and another from Asriel's past.

Poll is closed.

Have fun! Twixst out!

P.S.S speaking of school, I won't be able to update this for a little while as I really have to work on my senior project. Also, I made quite a few edits to the other chapters, nothing too big.

Next time on Jurassic Lands:

"Watch, it's trying it again." Dr. Wu pointed out as a large creature flew towards the window. The Pteranodon like creature latched onto the window with the claws on its wings and knocked its beak against the glass several times. The creature then let out a very loud shriek that caused Brian and Dr. Wu as well as the scientist at the computer nearby to stumble and cover their ears.
