Chapter 6: Why the Lab?
By: Margueritediamond
The little raptor actually slept the rest of the night after he had his warm water bottle bed. But he woke up early before every one else. He was hungry. He could smell the meat brought up for breakfast. He snuck past the sleeping Marguerite and into the kitchen. The meat was hung up. Why?! It was to high for even him to get. He tried to get it by jumping and climbing but to no avail. Then he smelled another interestingly delicious smell. Fainter then the meat in the kitchen but it was none the less MEAT. Where was the delectable smell coming from? There in that room, down there, with all the shelves. There were the enticing little morsels on that desk by some stuff that didn't matter. All that mattered was the MEAT. Those little creatures running back and forth squeaking and some just sleeping curled up in a little ball. Ronnie jumped on the chair then to the desk and lunged at the creatures. Unfortunately the creatures were behind glass and Ronnie ended up with a hurt head. He could smell them, their fear at the sudden movement that jarred their cage. They were all moving. How could he resist? He jumped on top of the glass cage. This screen which made the top was easier to break through then the glass. The mice were his they had nowhere to run, except round and round in circles till he decided to eat them. He had just finished eating the tenth and last mouse. Now, How to get out of this glass prison? Jump. The little dinosaur jumped through the hole he had made earlier and landed on the other side of the cage. (Which just so happened to be over the edge of the desk from when he ran into it) The cage leaned dangerously and started to fall. Ronnie jumped as the cage fell to the floor and shattered. He landed on a table and crashed into a few beakers and a stack of books. The books fell into a shelf causing it to fall. As things began to fall in a chain reaction everywhere in the lab, the liquids spilled from the beakers began to smoke and make a hissing noise. Ronnie ran to hide in the first place he saw, under Challenger's desk. "Oh my, What happened Malone, Veronica get some water quickly we have to cool off my experiment." Said Challenger. Malone and Veronica run to the kitchen to get water. Roxton comes in rubbing his eyes. "What happened?" "I don't know but look at my lab. What could have done this?" "Have any of you seen Ronnie?" said Marguerite who just came in. Challenger and Roxton shake their heads. Marguerite began to search about the treehouse. "Here's the water," says Veronica, "Where do you want it?" A screech comes from in the lab "What the." "Ronnie!" Marguerite turns her interest back to the lab. She goes down the stairs leading to the lab. "Marguerite you can't go in there barefoot there's broken glass." Says Challenger as she reaches the bottom of the stairs. "I'll be careful" "Put some shoes on There are dangerous chemicals" "Then I'll be really careful" She began to walk across a fallen bookshelf. "Where are you Ronnie?" The tiny dinosaur roared. *Figures he'd be on the other side of the room.* "Marguerite get back here before you hurt yourself" "I'll be back as soon as I get Ronnie" "Well now I know what destroyed my lab. That thing isn't going to stay here anymore. It can stay outside with the goat" "Ronnie is staying in the treehouse whether you like it or not" "Marguerite, That thing is more trouble than he's worth," said Roxton. "Stop calling Ronnie "that thing" it's rude, didn't your mother ever teach you manners" "Yes my mother did teach me manners. I just don't think they apply to dinosaurs" "Fine John from now on I'll just start calling you that biped." "Marguerite that's not what I meant" "Challenger do you believe that biped" "What?" "Nevermind I have more important things to worry about" She had made her way half way across the ruined lab without a scratch, luckily. Now she had to make her way through the worst part. She'd have to keep off the floor for this part. It was covered in chemicals and broken glass and who knows what else. At least she could see Ronnie now; He was under Challenger's desk. How did he do so much damage? Wait a second The mouse cage was broke. Shouldn't mice be running around? Wait a second. Ronnie. She picked her way through the mess and finally reached Ronnie. "Ronna" Ronnie screeched. "Ronna?" Said Marguerite, "Come here let's get you out of here" She picked him up and began to go back towards the stairs "Rox!" Screeched Ronnie excitedly as he saw Roxton walking up the stairs. Marguerite didn't pay much attention to Ronnie she was to busy trying to pick her way past everything. Ronnie started screeching and roaring incessantly. "Ri runted rice rut rin rage ran ri rocked rit rover"* he said as they reached the stairs. Marguerite sat him on the step beside her. "Nice way to start the morning," She said sarcastically, "Where's the coffee?" "Rox" Screeched Ronnie. "Here's your coffee Marguerite," said Roxton seemingly appearing out of nowhere. "So that biped is good for something." "Marguerite, Ronnie has got to go," said Challenger.
*Author's note: this means I wanted mice but in cage and I knocked it over. Reasoning for this in the next chapter.
