Disclaimer: We. Don't. Own. Jurassic. Park. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oh, sorry, was I sleeping? Lol

A/N: YES! This is THE greatest chapter! I'm not sure if everyone will like it as much as I do, but if they are fans of the first Jurassic Park movie, I think they will. Ok, well please read and review. Thanx! PS- There is a reason the dinos are living without Lysine. It explains it in a later chapter.

Chapter 9- By Dani

"Isla Nublar?" Eric asked distantly.

Dr. Grant nodded. "Isla Nublar," he confirmed.

"Wh- what do we do?" Paul asked. "Most of us have never been on this island."

"Yeah. At least on Isla Sorna we knew our way around. A little," Amanda agreed.

Eric thought about it for a minute, feeling his survival instincts once again kicking in. "Let's head for the main entrance of the park."

"Good idea," Billy said.

The large group walked on, stopping only a few times to take a breather. Soon they saw the gas pumped flames burning, even eight years later, in the distance. The words Jurassic Park hovered over the flames, above two huge metal doors. The entrance to the dinosaur tour.

Dr. Grant had a feeling. He knew that technically, the dinosaurs should have died without their lysine supply, but somehow he knew they had survived. This scared him.

Everyone was terrified. All shaking and trembling, but going through that way was the only way to reach the main building quickly.

"So... we take a deep breath and run for it?" Dana suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement, then turned toward the huge gate and the flames and ran. Ran as if there were no tomorrow, which they all knew there quite possibly not be.

To their incredible luck, they were about through the dinosaur tour and they still hadn't seen any.

Alan almost smiled through his running as he remembered the frustration and anger he'd felt eight years ago when he had seen no dinosaurs on the tour. Ironically, now he was incredibly grateful for it.

After a few moments of running, they all came to a sudden stop, their eyes falling on something surprising. Directly up ahead, staring down at some type of huge footprint then writing things down on a clipboard, was a man. He was young, maybe two or three years younger than Billy. About 18. He looked up from the track and turned to the group of people. He walked slowly up to them and stared at Dr. Grant with a faraway look in his eyes, as though trying to remember something from long ago. No one spoke.

Finally the man said, "...Dr, Grant? You are the last person I'd ever expect to see here. How...how have you been? I can't believe it's been eight years."

Dr. Grant looked at him, confused. "Do I...?" he began.

HHHHHRRRRROOOOOOARRRRRR!

"T-Rex! Come on, hurry!" the young man yelled. Without a moment's hesitation the group followed him, just as the T-Rex burst through the trees behind them.

RRRROOOOOAAAARRRR!

The mysterious young man jumped into what appeared to be a huge ditch. The others jumped in with him, but the T-Rex snatched Mr. Darril in mid- jump. Its powerful jaws closed around him, just as the young man pulled shut two metal doors at the top of the ditch. Again, everyone was shocked at how quickly another life had just ended. It horrified them.

They waited for the pounding footsteps to stomp away, then looked around. They were in a large underground room with two computers and desk chairs, a couch bed, and a large regular bed. There was also a small refrigerator. The electronics were plugged into an underground outlet.

"So, um... sorry about that guy..." the young man said sympathetically, then decided it was a good idea to change the subject. "What were we talking about again?"

Alan pulled down his hat. "Do I know you?"

"Oh, come on. How can you not remember me? I was the cutest little human piece of toast. And my jokes were the best. That blind dinosaur joke was brilliant."

Suddenly, memories poured into Alan's head.

Eight years ago, sitting in a tree, his arms around two sleeping children. One was a boy and the other a girl.

A boy falling on his back from a fence onto the hard ground below, his electrified hair sticking out in all directions.

The words "Do-you-think-he-saurus?"

Alan looked up slowly. "Timmy?"

He nodded. "That's me. I'm a college freshman now, majoring in paleontology. We were sent here for a research project because we have the highest GPA in our field. Not to mention that we were like, the only ones to volunteer," Tim laughed.

"...We?"

Just then, one of the desk chairs swiveled around to reveal a blonde- haired girl. She was Billy's age.

"Lex?"

"How have you been, Dr. Grant? It's been almost a decade."

"Uhhh...fine. So...you've taken up paleontology?"

Lex nodded. "Yeah."

"I thought you hated dinosaurs."

"I did. But after I left Jurassic Park I began to realize how much I...well, how much I missed it. I started reading up on dinosaurs and I was learning as much as I could. Next thing you know, I'm as hooked as Tim," Lex explained.

Dr. Grant took off his hat and put it on the couch. "And your college sent you here...alone? For some research project?"

Time shook his head a little. "Well, no. Not...alone."

Alan was about to ask what he meant by that when Lex interrupted. "So, who are your friends?"

Eric introduced everyone. Tim and Lex shook all their hands. Lex shook Billy's a noticeable amount longer than everyone else's.

`Oh, no. Not another crush,' Time thought as he noticed the lengthy handshake. He remembered only too well how many crushes she had gone through, including when she liked Dr. Grant. Ughh. It gave Tim chills just thinking about it. And it had only been eight years ago.

After everyone had met, Alan tried again. "Who came with you?"

Time looked at the computer and acted as if he hadn't heard Dr. Grant. "Do you want to see our research?"

Alan gave Tim a stern look. "Who...came...with...you?"

Tim and Lex still didn't answer, but suddenly, as if planned, the metal door above them swung open and a woman jumped through, her shoulder length blonde hair streaming behind her. She looked up at Alan and he stumbled back and fell onto the couch next to his hat. He didn't need *another* surprise.

"E...El...Ellie?" he stammered.

She smiled. "Oh...Alan! What are you doing here?"

He gave an odd half smile. "Can I ask you the same?"
