(A/n: This would take place just after the episode "Tanks a Lot!" and before "Bungle in the Jungle.")
Ren was off to her new school. She had Ebony walk with her on the way to school. Ren would put Ebony back in her card when she was about a block away. Ren has mastered the stone over the year and a half that she's had it. The school was about a block away now. Ren smiled down at Ebony. "Time to go back into your card. I'll let you out later." Ren told her. A purple light surrounded the stegosaurus before she was a card again and back in Ren's hand, which she put into her pocket in her hoodie.
As she approached, the school, she tried to get first impressions on some of the kids she met, whether they'd be popular, outcasts, nerds, rebels or anything related to those sorts. She was there the day before and got her tour around the school and who her teacher was, Miss Michelle. She couldn't quite remember the direction Michelle's classroom was in. So naturally, she asked the closest person to her. This person just happened to be a boy with spiky brown hair and chocolatey eyes. He wore a red and yellow short sleeved top with orange shorts. There was some sort of pack around his torso. To top it off, he wore a visor with horns representing one's of a triceratops. "Excuse me..." Ren started. "Do you know where Miss Michelle's room is at?" Ren asked the boy. The boy's eyes lit up. "You must be the new student! I'm Max Taylor! I'm actually heading there right now. I could show you the way. What's your name?"
"Oh... Um... Thanks I guess. My name's Ren" Ren responded and followed Max to the classroom. Michelle looked towards the two when they entered the classroom. "Oh hello!" Michelle walked up to and greeted Ren. "You must be Ren Hounder. I'm Miss Michelle." She walked to a desk. "This is where you'll sit. I see you know Max, so this is the seat next to him." The teacher told Ren. Max smiled. "Alright!" He cheered. Ren couldn't care more or less. Anywhere between a couple of weeks and a few months, her parents would move again. "Hey Ren, I have a good idea!" Max started. Ren simply looked at him. "I could introduce you to my friends!" Ren had a facial expression that said that she wasn't pleased with the idea, but would play along anyways. Max led Ren to a spot on schoolgrounds where the D-Team met up every day. "Hey guys!" Max said to two kids that were already standing in the meet up place. Ren looked at the two. She tried to keep her distance, but stayed close out of kindness and respect. "Hey, Max." A blonde haired boy said. The boy wore a blue jacket over a white shirt with brown pants. He wore a pair of blue sneakers on his feet. He had blonde hair and the same blue eyes as her own. The most noticeable feature about the boy that stuck to Ren was the dinosaur tooth that was around his neck. "Who's your friend?" The girl asked Max. The girl had pink hair tied up in pigtails with yellow hair ties. She had pink goggles set on top of her head. She wore a black, bare stomach, short-sleeved shirt with a red and orange vest over it. Her shorts matched the colors of her vest. She wore long black socks and green sneakers. She had green bracelets and a green choker. She had a smaller dinosaur tooth necklace. "This is Ren." Max said looking at the newcomer. "She's new in town. Ren, this is Rex and Zoe." Max pointed at them respectfully. Ren was lost in her own train of thought. She must have been staring at Rex because he waved a hand in front of her face. "Hello?" Rex asked. Ren shook her head. "Sorry... I was thinking. I'm fine." Ren said.
"So, what brings you to out town?" Zoe asked Ren. Ren was silent for a few minutes. "My parents travel, so I don't stay places for very long." Ren responded.
"At least you can keep in touch with your old friends through technology." Zoe said. Ren looked at the ground with a look of both sadness and regret. "I... I don't have any friends..." Ren admitted.
"Then I guess we'll just be your first ones!" Max said proudly. Ren hesitated. She pulled her hand out of her pocket and scratched the back of her head, making Ebony's card fell out of her pocket. Ren quickly picked up the card. The three others stared at her. "Was that.." Rex started. The three looked around to make sure no one was listening. "A dinosaur card?" The blonde haired boy finished. Ren was shocked. How did these three know about the dinosaurs? Simultaneously, all three of the kids pulled their own cards out of their pockets. Max showed Ren his triceratops card. "This is Chomp. He's a triceratops. He like to bite anything that can fit in his mouth." He told her. Ren giggled. Rex was next. "This is Ace. Ace is a Carnotaurus. I call him Ace because Ace means 1, and Ace was my very first dinosaur." Rex told Ren. Finally, Zoe showed Ren her card. "This is Paris. Paris is short for Parasaurolophus."
Ren nodded before showing her card to the others. "This is Ebony. We met in an ebony forest. Since my parents travel, they let me keep her to keep me company." Ren explained to the group.
"Aww!" Zoe remarked. "Ebony's so cute." Ren smiled at this comment. She looked down at her stegosaurus card. "Yeah... Paris is cute too." Ren smiled up at Zoe.
"Chomp's a electric dinosaur." Max said.
"Ace's is a wind one." Rex added.
"And Paris is a grass element." Zoe beamed.
"Ebony is an earth element." Ren told them.
"I have a super cool idea!" Max said suddenly. The entire ground looked at him. "After school we should show Ren and Ebony around the D-lab!" Ren looked puzzled as Max earned nods and smiles from the other two members of the group. "I guess..." Ren said.
