Chappie 28
After the first, second and third movie, the DVD finally switched itself off. I wasn't asleep. I couldn't go to sleep. My eyes were wide open and spasms surged through my arms and legs. I was uttering dinosaur names over and over.
Noodle came in. She was wearing pajamas. Soon after she came in, Murdoc, Russel and 2D came too, wearing there bedclothes. Murdoc was almost asleep, sucking his thumb and holding a teddybear behind his back. 2D's eyes sagged and he swerved dangerously back and forth. Russel's breathing was heavy and he blinked slowly. Noodle yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"You okay now?" She asked yawning.
"Did you know that Dilophosaurus was shown wrongly in the Jurassic Park film? Firstly, it is a much bigger Theropod with much different head proportions. Also, there is no fossil evidence that it had a frill or that it could spit poison. It only had a crest on it's head hence the name Dilophosaurus meaning "Crested-Lizard"." I spoke quickly without taking a breath and was wide-awake.
The group didn't say anything apart from Noodle who sneezed.
"The dinosaur family Herrerasauridae and the dinosaur Eioraptor, doesn't fit into the Saurischian, "lizard-hipped", or the Ornithschian, "Bird-hipped", categories for dinosaurs. They are such early forms of Dinosaur and so closely related to Dinosaurian ancestors that scientists are debating now that they were in fact, not dinosaurs, but dinosaurmorpha, meaning non-dinosaurs. Just like the Pterosaurs and Marine reptiles of the Mesozoic Era. This is of course excluding the earliest known bird Archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx was, in fact, a dinosaur. Believed to be the missing link between dinosaurs and birds. Birds are dinosaurs although seeing a sparrow at your bird feeder is not as exciting as if a Tyrannosaurus was there. Paleontologists have discovered that raptors, example, Megaraptor Velociraptor, had feathers and, being Theropods which are related to birds, were very bird like in structure as were other Theropods." I spoke again, without breathing.
2D coughed slightly, showing it was obvious no one was listening.
Russel picked me up on his shoulder and lumbered thorugh the hall way. Noodle went to her room to sleep and Murdoc went to his, fixed but dented Winnebago. Russel dumped onto the mattress on 2D's bedroom floor and shut the door behind him as he exited.
2D fell back on his bed and began snoring loudly. Suddenly, the sleep closed in on me and if it wasn't for a hard brick being in the place of my pillow, I would have fallen asleep without switching the lights off. My hand fumbled around until I pulled the lamp down, breaking the bulb and bringing on darkness.
The next day I was perfectly fine. Not hyperactive, not random, not tired. I even ate the ice cream left in the fridge with a knife instead of just with my hands. Everyone else was pretty much themselves too. Rover pooped round for half an hour and told me all about what happened last night.
Later Murdoc, being forced by Russel, apologized to me for beating the snot out of 2D. 2D, however, didn't remember being beaten up due to his concussion.
I knew, although I was still settling into routine with my friends and all the whacky things that have happened, that they were great mates and I would enjoy living with them for the rest of my life… Despite Murdoc's constant protests and the fact that I drive them all mad and to the brink of insanity…
Soz, had to end this fic somewhere. I know, crappy ending? I have a writer's block, sue me!
