A/N: Aww, a nice happy chapter Maybe a bit upsetting for people who like
the deaths in JP, but nice for everyone else. ;-) Very sappy and kinda off
the subject of dinos, but also very original for a JP fic. ;-)
Chapter 18- By Courtney
Everyone climbed down and were getting ready to go back to the research center. A rustling noise came out from the brush. They noticed quickly and stared at the leaves, not exactly ready for what lie behind them. Out jumped about 20 compys, all ready to attack. The group began to back away slowly. They turned, ready to sprint away, when from behind 20 more began to jump at them.
"Oh my God… Ellie was right…" Alan muttered.
"They're smarter?" Eric questioned.
"Uhhh- huh…" Billy answered for Dr. Grant. "They waited for us… they knew we'd be coming down so they hid and waited for us…"
Everyone was stepping back into a tighter formation. They were terrified of the small, weak looking creatures.
Suddenly, a voice called out from the bushes. "Here, come on!" The speaker pushed aside a fern branch. A rock, coming from the direction of the person, soared suddenly through the air and landed on one of the nipping compys. It screeched, and the others backed away.
The compy victims immediately dashed towards their savior, running from the compys who had come back to their senses and were now trailing them once again. Through the brush, they spotted a meadow. They reached the field of tall grass.
Midway, they looked straight ahead, startled, and stopped. Immediately they turned around and began running the other way. It was a heard of Gallamimas. ((A/N: sry, I no the spelling's wrong.)) The compys were gone. But now, ahead of them, was a flock of quick paced dinosaurs.
Everyone kept running. Cordelia was having a pretty hard time. Suddenly, the flock shifted its movement and the group was almost out of harm's way. Out of breath, they slowed down and stopped.
For Lex. Tim, and Alan, this was all too familiar. Lex remembered her experience to be more gruesome. Tim remembered that in his mind, it hadn't been gruesome enough. And Alan just remembered it as it was. Nature taking its course.
Everyone doubled over to catch their breath.
"Jeez, you could at least thank me first," a familiar voice suggested, causing everyone to snap their heads up. For the first time, they saw their rescuer.
"Dana!" Eric and Cordelia cried in unison. They rushed forward, Cordelia keeping up on her crutches, and they all engaged in a hug. Cordelia and Lex was crying. The boys were laughing. Dana hugged them all.
******************************************************************
Allasyn was crying hysterically. Sheila, Paul, and Michael were trying to calm her down, though extremely upset themselves. So was Ellie, but she tried to hold her head high anyway.
They were all in an airport in Costa Rica. Their boat had managed to stay afloat until a huge cruise ship confronted them, and a few passengers who'd seen them from the rail of the ship took them aboard. The ship stopped at the mainland of Costa Rica where the group managed to find the airport. They got seats standby on a flight to the U.S. ((A/N: just a comment on how they got the $, I'm thinking Ellie had a credit card in her pocket or sumthin. Lol. It's not really important but I know it would've probably come up in reviews))
Before their flight boarded, Ellie called collect on a payphone some of the only people she thought could help.
**************************************************************
Through her tears, Cordelia finally was able to speak. "…That was one of the most pathetic throws I've ever seen!"
Dana sniffed. "Thanks for the compliment."
"So… back from the dead?" Eric asked, hugging her again.
"Like brother like sister?" Dr. Grant looked over at Billy.
"Wait… how…how did you…?" Billy stuttered.
Dr. Grant pulled out Billy's print out of the hacked- into web site. Then he held up another paper. "Oklahoma State Adoption Agency: Dana Brennan- Born Nov. 13, 1988…" it read. Billy looked up at Dana in complete shock.
"What…" Dana was very confused. She looked at Cordelia and Eric but they shrugged, looking as blank as she.
Lex grabbed the papers and read them quickly. Then she gasped and handed them to Dana. "I think you should take a look at this."
Dana stared at them. "Dana Brennan…. Dana Carter? Dana… *Brennan*?" She looked up, understanding. Her face lit up. She dropped the papers and ran over to Billy. They hugged tightly.
Cordelia picked up the papers and she and Eric read them. "Wow…" she whispered.
"Yeah…" Eric agreed.
Dana and Billy smiled. They had no words, only the smiles of two long separated siblings, reunited in ways that could only be explained by Fate.
