A/N: Guys! Sorry for not uploading this chapter sooner! I went out of town for the weekend, so now that I'm back, I can update! YAY! And now, Welcome back, to Jurassic World!

The Park is Open...Once Again

Today was the day that everyone was waiting for. The day that would start the redemption for Alice. The day that was thought would never come again. The day that Owen had been dreading ever since he stopped Alice's rampage on Main Street. It...was reopening day. Thousands of tickets had been sold, thousands of visitors were coming to see the park, even after knowing about the Indominus Incident. Millions of eyes were focusing on this one, anticipated day. Eyes of the world were keeping themselves on alert, eyes of celebrities were going to be visiting the park to see if they could get more popularity by visiting the park, and in return the park would get popularity, too. Every eye in the world was focused on Isla Nublar today. It astonished Claire that so many people had bought tickets, since she thought that they would've been afraid because of Alice. But, she did some research and, to her surprise, it turns out that attractions become more popular after fatal accidents. Maybe they should have had dinosaurs break out more often, but then, they probably would have gotten shut down instead of giving them another chance.

Alice was nervous with anticipation for today. She was so nervous, that she couldn't sit still and shuffled her feet every second. She then began pacing around her new home and began to wonder about the thousands of faces that would be looking at her when the time came. She didn't want to mess this one up. She didn't want to send everyone in a panic. She didn't want anything to go wrong, instead she wanted everything to go right. This was her chance, this was her moment, this was her shot of redemption, and she didn't want to screw that up. She wanted to prove to everyone that she was nice, calm, tame, etc. She wanted so many things for today, but who knows how much of it she would actually get. Alice had never been in front of crowds before, so she didn't know what to think about that. She had never done a show before, so having to come to the viewing glass at certain times was something very new to her. She had never been presented to others before, at least others who weren't there for a sponsorship. All of this pressure was making her heart rate rise and her brain to pound a bit. If she continued like this, Alice would probably have a heart attack during her first show. Alice was startled from all her thoughts when she heard someone calling her name, making her turn her attention to the person that was calling her. But, before she even realized who was calling her, she clumsily hit a tree, stumbling back a bit and shaking her head from the minor pain that she had just received. She then looked again at the person who was calling her, except this time they were actually laughing at her hitting a tree.

Owen couldn't help but laugh at when Alice hit a tree. That's why he was trying to get her attention sooner. She was heading for the tree regardless of Owen calling her name. Alice was so deep in thought, and it worried Owen a little that she was over thinking everything. Alice didn't need to worry so much. She would do fine today and everyday that was to come. She would be the star of the park, next to Rexy that is of course. Owen was staring at Alice through the glass of the viewing room of Alice's new paddock that was located in the Rex Kingdom. The paddock was directly across from Rexy's. It was big, so that Alice could have a nice space to walk around and hunt freely. They set animals like goats, pigs, and even cattle loose in her paddock. It had a pretty good sized clearing, where most of her prey would gather to graze and rest. It had a pond, bigger than the spring in her old paddock, where she would drink water, and where the other animals would drink water, too. There was a good sized brush in her paddock, with towering trees, beautiful bushes, a few poisonous plants, spectacular flowers, and even rich, brown soil. Alice loved her new paddock, and something that she really liked was that they put in a window in the viewing room, an idea that came to Owen's mind when they were taking the glass out of her neck. The window slid to the left when you looked at it from the perspective of entering the viewing room first hand, but from Alice's side, it slid to the right. Owen showed Alice how to open the window, in case she ever felt like she wanted to just stick her head in and rest it on the cold, hard floor. Alice'Alice ' s paddock was everything she wanted it to be, and she hoped that maybe, they would let in another dinosaur so that she could meet it, especially Lime Eyes and the other with it. Owen put a small smile on his face as he saw how nervous, yet happy she was. Alice was excited for today, but she was scared, too. Owen always told Alice that she would be fine, but she wouldn't believe it until it happened. Owen then thought about how his raptors were doing. He hadn't decided yet whether to move them closer to Main Street, or to keep them away from Alice. But, there was magical choice C that only he knew about: put the raptors in Alice's paddock. Owen knew that Alice wanted to see Blue and her sisters again, and he honestly wanted them to meet again, but he didn't know what would happen if they did. Maybe someday, like a Saturday or Sunday, he'll let them visit her and see what happens. If it went well, then maybe he might let Alice meet some of the other dinosaurs on the island. Owen hadn't traveled the whole island, he wasn't super fond of being far from his pack. He hadn't seen any of the other dinosaurs out on the island, but he heard some of their names. So, if and when Alice met other dinos for the first time, it would be Owen's first time, too.

Owen snapped from his thoughts when he heard the window slide open and Alice stick her head through and rest her head on the floor. Owen stepped forward and placed his hand on her snout, making her softly puff air through her nostrils. Owen smiled when he thought about how far Alice had come. When he stopped her on Main Street, when he touched her for the first time, when he calmed her down when she had a nightmare, when he gave her the name Alice, and when she helped Lowery get Claire and Owen together to talk and rekindle their relationship. Owen was grateful for that, and swore that he would never do anything so stupid to Claire again. Owen then began to run his hands against the snow white scales. Alice was warm, or maybe Owen's hand was very cold. Either way, Owen liked her warmth.

"You ready Alice?" he asked her as he ran his hand down to the edge of her upper lip, right before her teeth.

Alice gave a chitter in response, telling Owen that she was nervous.

"It's okay to be nervous and scared, especially on your very first day. But, remember, today is your shot to become a symbol of redemption to everyone in the world. It's okay to be scared, just remember that you'll be fine. Just roar when you feel like it's necessary and maybe try changing colors with your camouflaging ability."

Alice gave a warble at Owen's advice.

"You will do fine. If you need me, I'll be in the viewing room right next to the window, or maybe on the platform that's right there, okay?"

Owen was pointing to a platform that had railing on it. It was a small platform for Owen to step out on so that he can talk about Alice and pet her when he wanted to show people that she wasn't aggressive or violent towards humans. Alice appreciated Owen and his words of advice. She just wished the Blue One and her sisters were here to tell her to relax and that everything was going to be fine.

"Hey, eyes on me Alice," he told her as he patted her nose.

The crimson orbs turned to look into Owen's green ones.

"Maybe, if you do good today, you might be able to see Blue and her sisters again."

Those words excited Alice. She let out a happy croon and she began to feel a happiness in her chest. She would love to see Blue One again!

"You also might get the chance to meet other dinosaurs on the island."

Those words were music to Alice's ears. She would finally be able to meet Lime Eyes and the other with it. She would finally be able to meet Rexy. Oh the joy in all the world! Alice was very happy right now, and she hoped that this happiness could cloud the fact that a crowd would be standing in front of her in an hour.

"Now, I know that you might not trust me, or Lowery, or Claire, or even yourself right now, but hopefully, with the park reopening, you can learn to trust us and other humans that you meet along the way."

Alice wanted the same thing. Trust was something that was earned, and Alice only knew three humans in her life. She had a list of who she trusted more: Owen, Lowery, and then Red One. Alice knew that after the park reopened, new friendships would spark and new trusts would be built as well.

Claire took in a deep breath as she looked at herself in the reflective doors of the elevator. Nothing much had changed, at least physically. Her hair was the same, her blouse, skirt, and three inch high heels were the same. What was different, was her personality. She went from seeing the dinosaurs as assets, to seeing them as beautiful, living, breathing creatures. She had many more responsibilities now than ever. But, she remembered something that Simon Masrani told her one day: 'A key for being in control, is to learn that you are never in control.' Claire snapped from her thoughts when the elevator dinged and the doors slid open. She then walked through the Innovation Center and stepped out the main entrance doors, leading out to Main Street. There was a sea of people standing in front of the Innovation Center, and it surprised Claire. She stepped forward and stood in front of a podium with a microphone stand on it. She looked out unto the excited crowd and then took a deep breath. Claire now, finally spoke.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, today is a day of redemption. Today is a day for happiness. Three weeks ago, our Indominus Rex broke out and began to cause havoc on the island, letting out the pterosaurs that attacked the many visitors on Main Street. Many lives were lost that day, as were many people injured. I now would like us to have a moment of silent for those who lost their lives on that disastrous day," she said.

Then, silence fell upon the crowd, and the only thing that Claire could hear, was her beating heart. This moment of silence felt like it was taking forever. Claire's heart rate began to rise, and she could feel her palms beginning to sweat. Claire was nervous not just for today, but that she wanted to see how the people would react to the park reopening only three weeks after the Indominus Incident. She mostly wanted to know how everyone would react around Alice. But, she had to take everything one step at a time. Claire then took another deep breath before speaking again.

"And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an honor to say: Welcome to Jurassic World!" she said with the utmost enthusiasm.

She expected the crowd to simply stay quiet and then disperse, but was astonished at when they applauded and cheered. Were these people aware of what had just happened three weeks ago?

Owen looked down at his watch, there were only a few more minutes until Alice's very first show. Alice was pacing around her paddock in worry and anticipation. Owen kept telling her to relax and that everything was going to be fine, but she ignored his words and continued to pace around. Owen was simply nervous. He had never done a show before. He had never spoken in front of big crowds. In a way, Owen was pretty much like Alice. Owen shook the thoughts from his head as he continued to watch Alice. Owen heard the clicking of heels behind him and didn't turn around because he already knew who it was.

Claire stood next to Owen and then asked him, "She ready?"

"She's nervous," he replied.

"Who wouldn't be today?"

"You're nervous, too?"

"A little, yes."

"Well, relax. Everything will be fine."

"What, you're not nervous?"

"Of course I am. But, you just gotta learn hoe to be calm under pressure."

"Why are you always right?"

"I honestly have no idea. I guess it's just a natural thing or some thing."

Claire rolled her eyes at Owen's remark and then watched Alice as she continued to pace around.

"Alice, sweetie?" asked Claire.

The Indominus walked over to the viewing room and gave a chitter at seeing Claire.

"You ready?" Claire asked her.

Alice shook her head, making Claire chuckle and Owen smile.

"Everything will be fine, okay? If you start getting really nervous, just think of something on your feet, like roaring, or changing colors, or something else. Or, just look at Owen and try talking to him."

Alice gave a single nod of her head, and took a few steps back at when she saw people starting to walk into the viewing room. Alice walked into the brush and camouflaged so that no one could see her.

"She'll do fine," said Claire.

"You gonna stick around for the show?" Owen asked her.

"You're not going to be the only one talking about her, at least for today."

"So, you want to talk about her out on the platform, or in here?"

"We can do a bit of both."

"Are we going to let others pet her and meet her up close?"

"Maybe. I still don't know if right now is the best time."

"Right."

Claire looked at her watch. There was only a minute left until the show began. Alice's moment, her shot for redemption, started in less than sixty seconds. Everyone that worked at Jurassic World had been waiting for this moment.

"Ready?" Owen asked Claire.

"As ready as I'll ever be," she replied.

"Let's do it."

"Let's."

Claire and Owen turned around and tested the microphones they had by switching the them on and then counting to three a few times. Owen then took a deep breath and then began to speak.

"All right, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Jurassic World and welcome to the Rex Kingdom. Today, you guys are in for the heck of a show. It's my pleasure to present to you guys, with the help of the sponsorship from Verizon Wireless, please say hello, to the 'Untamable King.' Ladies and Gentlemen, the Indominus Rex!" said Owen as he pointed to the brush.

This was it. Alice knew that her moment had finally come. She swallowed down every nervous feeling down and then slowly stepped out of the brush, changing her scales from green to white in an instant.

Everyone in the viewing room gasped at seeing the Indominus appear out of the brush. Then, they began to applaud and cheer. Owen and Claire were very confused. How could these people react this way, even after hearing what she had done three weeks prior?

Alice felt a very happy feeling when she heard the people in the viewing room clap and cheer. Her nerves seemed to go away in a flash, and, to keep them going with the praise, she decided to let out her infamous roar that pierced the heavens. Her roar made a few of the people, including Claire and Owen, to jump a little, and some people laughed at the reactions.

"Now, everyone, the Indominus Rex is Jurassic World's first genetically modified hybrid," began Claire, "We don't know exactly what she's made of, but we do know that her base genome is T-Rex, and she's also got some velociraptor in her."

"And, we have speculation to believe that she might even have some human DNA. I mean, look at her opposable thumb-like talons!" added Owen.

"We don't fully know the habits of the Indominus, but from what we do know, they like using the element of surprise, especially by using their camouflage ability."

"Indominus are very smart animals. They can communicate with raptors, and even humans!"

"Normally, Indominus may be perceived as an aggressive creature, but not the Indominus here."

"That's right. Everyone, say hello to Alice, the Indominus Rex."

Everyone waved at her and actually said hi. Owen and Claire turned around and saw that Alice was very excited. Alice responded by giving a kind croon, making some people in the room chuckle. Owen and Claire were happy that the people were responding so positively to Alice, and Alice showed that she was actually happy, too. Her redemption had happened sooner than expected. Alice expected everyone to just watch her for now, but the reactions of the people now were a big change of pace.

"Alice is the Indominus that caused some trouble a few weeks ago, but now, she's calm and she's a kind dinosaur," said Claire as she gestured to Owen to step out onto the platform.

Owen went over to the door leading to the platform and then stepped out onto it. He looked around and admired the inside of Alice's paddock for a few seconds.

"Alice is learning to trust humans, and learning to be nice to them. She's gotten to know a few workers here. Now, everyone, if you could please direct your attention to the platform to my right, which would be your left, we are going to show you how much Alice is progressing in trusting humans," said Claire with a big smile on her face.

Everyone turned to see Owen standing out on the platform, with Alice walking towards him.

"The man that you see out there is Owen Grady, he's Jurassic World's raptor trainer and the Indominus caretaker. He was the one that stopped Alice's rampage during the Incident, and has been by her side ever since."

Owen put a hand over his mic as he looked at Alice's scarlet eyes.

"Alice, you're doing amazing! Just a little bit longer, okay? Right now, we're just showing how much you like me. I'm just going to pet your snout, all right?" Owen asked her.

Alice gave a small nod of her head and then waited for Owen to touch her snout.

Owen stretched out his hand and then gently placed it on Alice's snout. He began to rub the snow white scales, and Alice gave a gentle croon in response to his touch.

Claire couldn't help but smile when she heard the people in the viewing room murmur about how cool it was that Owen was petting Alice. She turned and saw small children jumping in excitement. It seemed like they want to pet her, too.

Owen then patted Alice's snout, telling her to stand in front of the viewing glass once again. Alice returned to her position and then stared at Red One, who had that soft, gentle smile on her face.

"Well, everyone, you are now free to take pictures. I hope you enjoyed hearing a little insight on Alice," said Claire.

"Hey, can we pet her, too?" yelled someone in the crowd.

The people then began agreeing with the person that shouted and then began to ask Claire if they could see Alice up close and pet her. Claire didn't know what to say at first, but, due to popular demand, she gave in.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I am now going to open this window, which will allow Alice to rest her head here. Please, don't freak her out. Just approach her nicely, please," said Claire as she grabbed the handle to the window.

Claire slid the window open and called Alice over.

"All right sweetie, I need you to remain calm now. Everyone in there has asked for you to rest your head here so that they could pet you and see you up close. Also, don't panic if you see a few flashes, that just means people are taking pictures of you or with you."

Alice nodded her head and then slowly stepped forward and rested her head on the cold ground. Everyone in the viewing room stepped back and admired the grand size of Alice's head. Kids went crazy and ran up to her hand began to touch her snout, teeth, and her cheeks. Alice didn't know what to do, so she just froze in place. Alice felt a happy feeling with seeing all these hatchling so excited to greet her. This is what Alice wanted, for people to trust her and to pet her. She soon saw that the older humans began to walk forward and stand next to their hatchlings and pet Alice, too. She saw some others taking pictures and selfies with her. All Alice could do was watch. Alice loved this moment so much. She wished that this would never end.

Owen and Claire couldn't help smiling at seeing Alice actually happy. They loved seeing her croon at children and their parents and seeing kids taking pictures with Alice. Claire chuckled at seeing a few college students act like little kids and tale some pretty hilarious selfies. Claire could relax a whole lot more now that she knows Alice will do fine at Jurassic World. Claire turned to Owen and put her hand over her mic and said, "She seems really happy."

"You think?" asked Owen.

"So, you think it might be a good time to consider putting the raptors in her paddock?"

"One step at a time Claire. What if we put a different dinosaur in her paddock?"

"What?"

"Well, see, a few minutes ago I promised Alice that if she did awesome today, then I'd let her visit another dinosaur, or have her meet other donosaurs."

"And, that has to do with putting a different dinosaur in her paddock how?"

"Well, what if Alice wants someone else to live in her paddock?"

Claire thought about Owen's words for a few seconds. Owen had a point, what if Alice did want someone else living in her paddock? What if she just wanted to see the raptors again, rather than have them stay with her.

"You might be onto something Mr. Grady," she said to him as she pointed a finger at him.

Owen put a small smile on his face and then he and Claire continued to watch Alice, who was now having fun changing different colors, exciting everyone that was watching. Claire looked down at her watch for a moment, and was surprised to see how quick time had flown. Alice's show was nearly over, but Claire didn't want to take her happiness so soon. But then, Claire remembered that Alice had many shows ahead of her today, so maybe Alice wouldn't be sad about her first show ending.

"Well folks," began Owen, "this now marks the end of Alice's show. The next show will start in an hour. Thank you for coming and we hope you enjoy your stay here at Jurassic World."

Claire was grateful that Owen spoke, because she sure didn't want to end Alice's first show. Everyone that was in the paddock said their goodbyes to Alice, no complaints whatsoever. Kids yelled goodbyes to Alice and some wrapped their tiny arms on her snout.

Alice had never felt such a kindness, such a love from other humans before, and her first show made her realize that humans could be trusted, to a certain extent. The hatchlings were sweet and innocent, and Alice could see the wonder and amazement in their eyes. The older ones were nearly the same as the hatchlings. There was an amazement and awe in their eyes that peaked Alice's curiosity. Alice was sad that her first show ended, but was happy that her redemption had come, and it was awesome.

Everyone except for Owen and Claire left the viewing room and waited until everyone was completely out. Once the three of them were alone, Owen and Claire walked up to Alice and began to give her praise.

"Alice, you did amazing!" said Claire as she placed her hand on the snow white scales and rubbed them.

"I'm definitely going to take you to see other dinosaurs," said Owen.

Alice gave a happy croon at Owen's words and nudged him. Owen gave a chuckle at Alice's nudging and then patted her snout.

"Claire, you think we can try and schedule meetings once she's done with her last show?"

"It's possible, but it might be tricky, I mean with her walking around and all, guests would find it strange. And they might get scared because then they'd think that Alice broke out again."

"Well, Alice's last show ends right when the park closes for the day, right?"

"Oh, you're right."

"So, it's possible then?"

"Yeah it is."

"Great, I'll take her to go and see Blue and the others later today."

"Today? Owen, don't you think you should give it a few days until you start taking her to see other dinosaurs? Or, maybe you can just take her during the weekends."

"Hm, why don't we let Alice decide?"

"Okay. Alice, do you agree with me, or with Owen?"

Alice's initial reaction would have been to agree with Owen, but Red One did bring up a few good points, too. Alice wanted to see Blue One and her sisters, but she didn't want to risk scaring anyone either. Alice didn't know what to do, so, she, without realizing it, lifted her shoulders.

Owen and Claire couldn't believe it. Alice was shrugging, meaning she didn't know.

"Okay, let's try this. You can go and see the raptors today, and then we'll try the weekend idea and see which one Alice likes better," said Claire.

"Okay, that sounds fair. Get ready Alice, your going to see Blue and her sisters soon," said Owen as he patted Alice's snout.

Alice let out an excited chirp and then pulled her head out of the viewing room and back into the paddock.

Owen watched as Alice began to walk back into the brush, when a man stood next to him. Owen turned his head to look at the man standing before him. The man had tanned skin, milk chocolate brown eyes, short black hair, and a shaped up beard, which he also kept short. He was wearing a black suit and pants and shoes, with a white button down shirt underneath it, complemented by a silk red tie.

"Uh, sir, I'm sorry to tell you this but, the show just ended. But, you can catch the next show in an hour if you'd like," said Owen.

The man turned to look at Owen and then said in a calm, deep voice, "Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought that since this was my Indominus, that I'd be free to see her at anytime."

Owen arched an eyebrow and Claire just stared at Owen. Claire realized whose voice it was and then asked, "Sir, who are you?"

"Why, Miss Dearing I should think that of all people, you should know who I am," replied the man.

Claire now officially knew who this man was and turned to Owen and said, "Owen, let me introduce you to Mr. Ortiz, the CEO of InGen."

Owen then stood straight and stretched out his hand to Ortiz. The man grabbed Owen's hand and gave it a firm shake as he said, "So, this is the man that saved the park?"

"That's me. Owen Grady, in case you didn't know that," said Owen.

"I've heard many things about you Mr. Grady."

"Owen, sir."

"Right. My name is Gabriel Ortiz. It a pleasure to meet you Owen."

"It's nice to meet you, too."

"Well, I hope you've been taking good care of my Alice."

Owen didn't like how Gabriel exclaimed that Alice was his. Yes, InGen might own her, but she wasn't his.

"I am, sir. And she's doing very good at improving her behaviour."

"Well that's fantastic to hear!"

Owen was a little surprised with Ortiz's enthusiasm, especially with him being the CEO of InGen. The last CEO of InGen was known to be a stern, cold hearted prick. But this guys seemed to be the complete opposite.

"So, Mr. Ortiz, how long are you going to be here?" asked Owen.

"I'm not staying here, if that's what you mean. I'm simply going to visit in my own time, so I might appear at random times, but I mostly let Claire know when I'm coming."

"Oh, okay."

"Right well, I'll be taking my leave for now. I'll be back in the afternoon to catch Alice's last show. Save me a spot, would you Miss Dearing?"

"Of course Mr. Ortiz."

The man gave a single nod of his head and turned his attention to a man that had dirty blonde hair and a familiar scar on his right cheek.

"Mr. Ortiz, we need to get going if you're going to catch that meeting," said the man as he then turned his attention to Owen and Claire.

"Styler? What are you doing here?" asked Claire.

"Oh, did I not mention before? I'm Ortiz's assistant."

"Roberto here is my go to man. He's liteally the best assistant I've ever had."

"Right, thanks Ortiz. So, that meeting. We need to get going, now."

"Okay. Claire, Owen, I will see you both later."

Claire and Owen both nodded their heads and watched Ortiz and Styler as they exited the viewing room and left for the meeting that Styler spoke of.

"I don't like the looks of this," said Owen.

"What?" asked Claire.

"That man is way too enthusiastic for a CEO."

"People are different Owen. Ortiz simply isn't a strict man. He's just, very happy about many things."

"Looks can be deceiving Claire."

"Whatever, he's fine for now. Besides, he shouldn't be our main focus. Our main focus, is Alice."

"You're right."

"Good. I'm going to head up to Control for a few minutes. I'm going to try and make each of Alice's shows for today, but if I can't I'll just watch from Control."

"Okay, see you later Claire."

The red head nodded and stepped out of the viewing room and went to Control.

The park is now open again. Thousands of guests flooded the park, and Alice's first show went amazing. Alice loved doing the show and she wished that her shows would never end. Gabriel Ortiz showed up and is excited to see Alice during her last show.

Alice the Indominus Rex, the world's first genetically modified hybrid. Though seen as a monster with a thirst for blood at first, she was simply misunderstood and wanted another chance to redeem herself. Only time would tell if Owen, Claire and the others grew to trust and love her more. And only time would if Alice would grow to trust and love humans the way she always wanted.

Everything will be fine...
