Chapter 3
Lex was in her room, unpacking her clothes. She was as excited as anybody else on the trip, but seeing the survivors of the park all these years later brought back memories she tried hard to forget. Seeing Alan again reminded her of the T-Rex encounter, but then also the amazing Triceratops that they had seen. She tried hard like her brother to be optimistic, but couldn't do it as well as he could. The coming year she was starting college at CU Boulder, in Colorado. She had gotten there on a track scholarship. This trip would be the perfect way to relax before her hard first year in college.
Tim was wandering around the ship, not knowing whether he wanted to go on the upper decks for fear of being sea sick. He had never ridden a boat like this, and didn't know. He was happy to see Alan and the others again. Though it did bring back bad memories of the island, he also remembered his first excitement at seeing the Triceratops and the first excitement, and then terror, at seeing the awesome T-Rex. Whenever he remembered the island he tried to think of the good times, instead of the bad. He was very optimistic.
Kelly, Ian's daughter, was up on the decks, strolling around. She knew Sarah and her father were somewhere on the other end of the ship, the bow, she thought. This trip didn't excite her, or make her feel the fearful feelings of the past. She just thought it was neat that Mr. Hammond had done this for the people who had survived the islands. She was back on the gymnastics team, and whenever she needed motivation she just thought of the time she saved her dad on the island. And her dad supported her all the way with her gymnastics, which made her try even harder, to the point where she became the best on the team. The one good thing about this trip, she thought, is that I get to spend time with my dad.
The happy feelings of these teens will soon turn to terror as they experience something they did not want to go back to.
