1 Chapter 4: Finally Dinner

1.1 By: Margueritediamond

"Dinner" Roxton yelled from the kitchen.

"Come Along, Ronnie" Marguerite said as she exited the room.

Ronnie hopped off the bed and followed her.

Roxton already had the table set and was sitting down.

Marguerite picked up Ronnie and was about to set him in the chair beside her.

"That thing isn't eating at the table."

"Ronnie IS eating at the table"

"You gave it a name"

1.2 "His name is Ronnie stop calling him it"

"Its…um…Ronnie is a dinosaur. You can't keep it as a pet"

"He's eating at the table whether you like it or not" and with that she sat the small dinosaur in the seat beside. Both remained silent as they started to fill their plates. Marguerite put food on Ronnie's plate.

Ronnie tried to jump on the plate but Marguerite pulled him back in the seat by his tail.

"Mind your manners" scolded Marguerite. The dinosaur looked at her confused.

"Stay in your seat when you eat" she elaborated.

"Do you really think that he understands you." Said Roxton.

"Well…" Marguerite looked over at Ronnie. "Yes" Ronnie was doing exactly as Marguerite had told him.

Roxton gave her a strange look. She nodded towards the raptor.

"Well as long as he minds his manners," said Roxton giving in.

The rest of the meal was ate in silence. Except for the occasional sound from Ronnie.



The sun was just starting to set when the others got back.

Roxton was there to greet them. After they were done with their hellos. Challenger inquired, "Where's Marguerite?"

"Where else, with Ronnie." Roxton said as if it were the only possible answer.

"Ronnie?" the others questioned unanimously.

"Her new pet." There was a small pause as the others gave Roxton weird looks.

"I'll get her." Said Roxton as he turn to go to Marguerite's room.

He walked into the room. Marguerite was playing tug-of-war with Ronnie.

He cleared his throat letting her know that he was there. Marguerite let go of the material, sending Ronnie crashing into the pillows.

"What do you want?"

"They want to meet Ronnie?"

"they're back already."

"just stepped in"

"Oh…come on Ronnie" she picks up the tiny creature and walks out of the room followed by Roxton.

The others look at Marguerite in shock as she walks into the room with Ronnie in her arms. Malone was the first to speak.

"It's a raptor"

"His name is Ronnie" Marguerite corrected.

"Just out of curiosity where did you get this…um…Ronnie" inquired George

"We went hunting, we found some eggs, Ronnie hatched, he followed me home."

"You would think you would have shot him" said Veronica towards Roxton.

"Marguerite wouldn't let me"

"Surprises every day"
