A/N: In this story, Blue and all the other dinosaurs (except Indominus and Indoraptor, who here as in canon are CGI fantasy hybrids) are real dinosaurs and acting in the Park/World movies.


Blue is being interviewed by Lester Holt in a large recording studio. He sits in a chair while Blue lounges on a specially built dais. The film crew starts taping at a director's signal.

Lester: Good evening. I'm Lester Holt, and tonight I have an exclusive interview with Blue the Raptor, star of the Jurassic World franchise. It's an honor to interview you, Blue.

Blue: You as well, Lester. [waves at camera] Hello, world!

Lester: Blue, you've received accolades for your performance in the Jurassic World movies and your character is one of the most beloved of the entire Jurassic Park franchise's dinosaurs. What inspired you to act?

Blue: I was a very young dinosaur when I watched Jurassic Park and I was blown away by the performance of Sue, who played Rexy. I knew I wanted to be an actress, too. To inspire people. Or dinosaurs. Or both.

Lester: How did your acting career start?

Blue: I got a few bit parts after telling my handler I was interested in acting. My big break came on a series called Era of Dinosaurs. It was a documentary series about the days before the Great Extinction. Back when 'real' dinosaurs, as it were, existed. Colin Trevorrow was watching and he enjoyed my performance. He thought I'd be perfect for the role of 'Blue' in Jurassic World. And before you ask, my real name and my character's name are the same because I didn't like any of the names they came up with for my character.

Lester: Were you nervous about becoming part of one of the most successful movie series of all time?

Blue: A little, especially when I found out Sue was reprising her role as the original Park rex. But she's really humble, put me at ease and gave me some great acting tips.

Lester: And what of your human co-stars? What was it like working with them?

Blue: They were great! None of them had ever worked with dinosaurs before, but we all got along right away. It felt so natural! Isabella Sermon and I are real good friends, now. It's been amazing watching her grow up. We liked to prank the rest of the cast between shoots when Fallen Kingdom was being filmed, and we'd go for hikes or play flag football between takes during production of Dominion.

Lester: Yes, speaking of Dominion, do you regret reprising your role? It has been criticized as the worst entry in the entire franchise.

Blue: Do I regret it? No...not particularly. I enjoy my role, and I was so excited to get to work alongside Sam Neill and Laura Dern! But I am absolutely disappointed in the movie. Freakin' locusts, really?

Lester: You mentioned Sam Neill and Laura Dern. What was it like working with them?

Blue (not listening): ...the end of an epic dinosaur move series and the main plot is about a plan to take over the world with locusts?

Lester: Ms. Blue, can you please answer the question?

Blue: It started out so well. Mosasaurus attacks, shady dinosaur kidnappings, 'wild' dinosaurs in Montana, and just when it was getting good, we get that dumbass scene of these kids running away from a storm of locusts!

Lester: Ms. Blue...

Blue: ...and don't get me started on the whole 'locusts on fire' thing at the end.

Lester: MS. BLUE! Back on track, please!

Blue: Erm, sorry, Lester. I just feel really passionate about this movie. You were asking...?

Lester: What was it like working with Sam Neill and Laura Dern?

Blue: It was incredible! It felt a little intimidating at first to meet the actors who started it all, but they were easy to work with. They even answered all my questions about filming the original Park movies! And the nostalgia of them reprising their roles? I fangirled the entire time we were on set!

Lester: What about your dinosaur co-stars? What has it been like working with them?

Blue: Kind of a mix. Sue was a great mentor. I got along okay with the other raptors, but we weren't really close. The gigasaur and I are good friends after Dominion, though, and the little raptor who played my character's daughter is as cute as a button!

Lester: Lastly, do you plan on continuing to act? Have you gotten any offers?

Blue: I'm actually planning on retiring. As much as I liked working on the Jurassic World movies, I was starting to feel burnt out. I'm going to retire to Montana, and maybe do a tour or interview from time to time.

Lester: There you have it, folks. The star of the Jurassic World movies in her own words. Goodnight, everyone!

Blue (waves at camera): Goodnight, world, we love you!
