DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN JURASSIC PARK/WORLD THEY BELONG TO THEIR OWNERS.

a/n: Happy New Year Everyone! Thank you so much for your reviews in the last chapter they made me laugh! I am glad you guys love that change in pace from super serious to really funny. The idea came up when I was watching prehysteria and surprisingly enough The Lost World Jurassic Park. It was fun to watch it again after all these years and an inspiration to write. Now this chapter was inspired by the Gremlins and Lilo and Stitch and all I have to say is Owen is in a LOT of trouble.

Now then on with the story.

ALAN'S DINOSAURS

Chapter 30: Prehysteria Part 2

JUST OUTSIDE OF SEATLE

Oh no! Was the thoughts that raced through Owen's mind as he stared at the Archeopteryx that was hiding among the display of birds. The said dinosaur's rapid eye movements were the only sign that Frankie was not a display. Cocking his head a bit Owen locked eyes with the little ball of terror.

And he wished he hadn't.

While the teacher was talking Frankie cocked his head in his direction. The other students didn't notice the presence of the small dinosaur because their focus was on the teacher. However Owen did and he was very nervous.

"Is there something interesting about my display Mr. Grady?" a voice said and Owen quickly changed his view to his now annoyed teacher.

"Um nothing sir," Owen said sounding nervous.

"You seem as if you've seen a ghost tell me at the battle of Gettysburg how many men did the South lose?" he asked Owen.

"Um….," Owen knew the answer but his focus was not on him but on the slowly moving figure that was coming up behind him.

"Mr. Grady is there something you are not telling me?" the teacher asked.

"Nothing!" Owen said back to him his voice squeaked, but his face betrayed his emotions. The teacher gave him a skeptical look before turning towards the other occupants in the room.

"Megan can you please tell everyone how many men died at the Battle of Gettysburg on the Confederate side?" the teacher asked.

The girl, Megan, was a blonde girl with dark brown eyes and her hair up in a wild hairdo. It was like those of the eighties which was a few years ago. She blew out a bubble from her mouth before answering, "28,000 men sir roughly the records were not clear but the casualties were high. All together both armies lost a total of 51,000 soldiers." she said before going back to filing her nails.

"Thank you Megan and please spit out your gum and put that file away," he said to her.

Megan made a face before she went to spit out her gum. The rest of the class was now focused on Owen and the history teacher.

"Now Mr. Grady I expect you to know the answer. I had high expectations for you. Perhaps you did not pay as much attention to your assignment as you should. Or maybe this class is a big joke is that it?" The teacher said.

"No sir," Owen tried to explain.

The teacher was a large Caucasian man with a large bald spot at the top of his head. However he wore a small wig that did not exactly match his head. For starters instead of being neatly combed it looked like a bird's nest….or a giant spider.

Oh shit! Owen thought realizing far too late why Frankie was eyeing the taupe.

"Well then Mr. Grady you have not answered the question," he said.

"Um….you see….," He tried to explain.

"What the fuck is that?" someone said finally noticing Frankie.

The teacher turned just as Frankie lunged for him and the teacher ducked. But that did not stop the dinosaur from flapping his wings and banking to come at him again. The man ducked again before trying to swat at Frankie. The smaller dinosaur tried to get at him again as he ducked and weaved.

"Your wig! Throw away your wig!" Owen shouted over the screaming of the other students. Many of them scrambling for cover as Frankie came at him again.

"What the…?" they said and suddenly one of the girls started screaming when Frankie landed on the globe and the large orb started to spin. Other students started to scream when Frankie opened is mouth and came at another boy this one with bugs on his shirt. Ducking under the table he was followed by many others as they raced to get out of the classroom.

"What is that thing!" someone else shouted as they ran.

"What is going on here?" a voice said from the hallway as the Principal opened the door.

"Don't!" Owen warned, but it was too late.

Frankie raced towards him wings flapping and mouth opened wide. The principal screamed as he fell backwards. Owen rushed out of the classroom following the panicking students.

"Frankie!" he shouted.

But the dinosaur ignored him and flew out of the room on the hunt for bugs. Racing out Owen looked around before shouting for Frankie again. He could not hear over the shouting and screaming of his fellow students before a noise alerted him to trouble.

It was also followed by a girl's scream.

Owen quickly ran around the corner only to confront a girl with butterfly pins in her hair and Frankie attacking her. She was trying to fight him off but the archeopteryx is not having it as he gotten himself entangled into her hair.

"Hey wait don't fight him it will only make it worse!" Owen said as he quickly rushed to her.

The girl however was too scared to do anything but scream and try to fight the thing off. He quickly rushed to her and tried to help but she slapped him on accident. Her long fingernails raked his face causing it to bleed.

"Hey will you stop! It will only get worse!" Owen replied and grabbed her hands. Stopping her from swatting at Frankie and from hurting herself further with being bitten.

Frankie pulled on her hair while he held her hands still. Shocked she stood there staring at him as he let go and reached to grabbed Frankie. The Archeopteryx tried to bite him but Owen held on as he untangled Frankie from the girl's hair. The girl screamed as Frankie held on and Owen had to use his other hand after holding Frankie with his arm to untangle her hair. When Frankie let go he struggled with getting at the girl again.

It was then that Owen realized why he was attacking the girl.

"Your hair pins! Take them off," he said.

"What? Why?" the girl said as she stared at him and then looked down at Frankie.

Backing away in fear she looked down at him, "What...is...that thing?" she said between gasps.

"I will explain later but take off your hair pins he is after your hair pins!" Owen said.

She reached up and felt her now ruined hair pins, "That little shit ruined my hair pins!" she said and tried to slap Owen but Frankie broke free and bit her hand.

"Owwww!" she screamed as he raised his wings and hissed at her.

"That….that is not a bird!" she realized why Owen was holding Frankie.

"Frankie hissed at her with his teeth showing. The girl looked down and luckily her many rings saved her hand from being badly bitten. But his sharp teeth still left a few puncture wounds.

"Come on let's get that looked at," Owen said to her.

"No way keep that damn thing away from me!" the girl said and ran away.

When she was gone Frankie looked up at Owen his large eyes were innocent in their appearance.

"Don't give me that look you little shit you caused enough trouble as it is," Owen said and just as he said it he heard voices coming down the hallway. Thinking quickly he grabbed Frankie once again before hiding in a nearby corner. As he hid with his hand firmly on Frankie's snout.

Just as he said the voices of the principal and several teachers could be heard, "I saw it sir a fat boy was holding that thing!" it was the same girl from before.

Owen could hear Frankie growling from under his hand. It was with luck that the classroom he came out of is nearby. Looking through the window he spotted his bag on the seat still. Breathing a sigh of relief he quickly held onto Frankie as he made his way into the classroom.

Grabbing his bag he quickly stuffed a protesting Frankie in there.

"You are in a lot of trouble you little shit! Get in there and stay in there!" he said.

"Mr. Grady what do you have in the bag?" a voice said and Owen froze as he slowly turned his head to face none other then the teacher.

"Um Mr. Camble nice to see you," Owen said sheepishly.

"What is in the bag Mr. Grady?" Mr. Camble said to Owen.

The boy held the bag as Frankie started to move, "Nothing sir," Owen replied.

"Give me the bag Mr. Grady now," he said.

"I can't," Owen said as he held onto the bag.

"Why not?" Mr. Camble said.

"Because…." Owen tried but his mind was empty of excuses.

"Now Mr. Grady," Mr. Camble said and as soon as Owen reluctantly handed the bag over to the teacher he braced for the worst.

Mr. Camble looked down at the bag and proceeded to open it. Then suddenly a clawed hand reached out and opened the zipper revealing a very annoyed and very angry Frankie. Shocked and surprised Mr. Camble backed away when Frankie hissed then leaped for his face.

Only for Owen to grab him and pull him back before he could do some real damage. Frankie snapped at him and tried to get at him again only for Owen to hold him.

"Frankie stop its alright!" he said holding the archeopteryx. Frankie hissed at him with mouth wide and showing all of his teeth.

"Owen what is that thing!" he said pointing to Frankie.

"Um...he is the reason why I did not want you to take my bag. I just caught him and I don't know how he got out of his cage...wait on second thought I don't want to know how he got out of his cage. My parents told me the cage was raven proof not dino proof," Owen replied.

"Young man are you telling me this thing was in a cage when you are here?" Mr. Camble said.

"Yes sir, mom and dad locked him up so he don't destroy our house," Owen said.

"Really? I sure say that he is an interesting bird-thing um what is he exactly," Mr. Camble said to Owen.

"Um well….you will not believe me if I told you," Owen replied.

Frankie replied with a hiss to Mr. Camble, and it was followed by a low growl with teeth still bared. It was then that Owen finally noticed why Frankie was growling.

"Um, Mr. Camble do you smoke?" Owen asked.

"Yes, I do on my breaks is that what's bothering him or it?" Mr. Camble said to Owen looking at Frankie further but pulled away when he tried to bite his nose.

"Yes, he does not like the smell of cigarettes a family friend of ours is a chain smoker and Frankie always steals his cigarettes when he smokes." Owen replied.

Mr. Camble reached in and took out the pack of cigarettes and showed them to Frankie. In the blink of an eye Frankie took the pack in his mouth and proceeded to snap at the pack. Then breaking out of Owen's hold he tore the pack to shreds leaving nothing but paper and cotton all over the ground. The sounds of his growling was enough to cause Mr. Camble to look in surprise when he was done.

"If you have any strong cologne you might want to wipe it off too. And I better find some bugs to feed him because if that girl was anything then Frankie is getting hungry," Owen replied.

"You could ask Mr. Bridger for some crickets he feeds them to his chameleon. Um you still did not tell me what exactly is...Frankie you said his name was?" Mr. Camble asked.

"Yes sir and he is a dinosaur," with that Owen called for Frankie to follow him. The Archeopteryx flew to Owen's bag and climbed inside. Owen disappeared out the door right when he heard Mr. Camble.

"He is a WHAT!"

Owen raced down the now empty hallway and just as he was getting towards the science class the bell rang. Frankie screeched in fear as he hid in the bag. Just then students started pouring out of the classrooms and going down the hallway. Owen took this time to walk down the long hallway with Frankie occasionally poking his head out the bag.

"Hey Grady what happened back there!" a voice said and Owen turned to find none other then his friend Norman. Norman was breathing heavily as he was gasping for air. His overweight body rippling under each breath.

"What do you mean?" Owen said equally out of breath.

"I mean everyone ran out of Mr. Camble's history class like a monster went nuts in there?" Norman said and Owen cursed. He just remembered that Norman was in the class next door.

"Sorry my...pet somehow got out and paid me a visit," Owen said.

"You mean Ruby got out….wait not Ruby or else she would be beside you. It's that bird isn't it? The one you are watching for your friend?" Norman replied.

"Yes, the same one," Owen replied and as if on cue his bag started to move.

"Um Owen?" Norman said and pointed to his bag.

"Oh yeah, I put Frankie in here so he doesn't cause anymore havoc," Owen replied.

"Yeah, so why isn't Frankie making any noise? I mean normally birds make a lot of noise?" Norman said out loud.

"Not all birds make noise Norman and Frankie….well he is not a normal bird," Owen replied.

"Really?" Norman said and it was then that they noticed the lack of students.

"Shit, we better get to class before we get in trouble," Owen said and both boys quickly ran into the science classroom where their next class was going to be. And unfortunately for them it was biology class a class they shared with a familiar group of people.

As they sat down Owen dreaded his assigned seat it was just in front of a familiar group of bullies that had been the bane of his existence. David and his friends sat there laughing as Owen and Norman both took a seat next to each other. The science teacher then entered the room his posture looked to be a bit stressed probably due to the man wanting to not help the principal try to find the perpetrators that caused the latest school uproar.

Thankfully the bell rang indicating that class was once again in session.

"Alright class we will be discussing the Mesozoic Era in our assignments. Can someone tell me what we discussed yesterday about the climate and how the Earth was shifted….Lisa why don't you tell us a bit about it?" the teacher Mr. Bridger say.

Lisa Miller blew out a bubble from her chewing gum. Her blonde hair stood out in a classic rock style. Owen rolled his eyes when her painted lips and black dusted eyes gave a bored look.

"I don't know cavemen live in caves and created fire from that time period," Lisa said and the whole class started laughing.

"Ms. Miller did you even pay attention to the assignment yesterday?" Mr. Bridger said to her.

"I can't seem to remember Mr. Bridger," she said in reply trying to give an innocent look.

"Ok how about you Norman why don't you answer our question of the day?" Mr. Bridger said to him.

"Um we were studying the Jurassic Period sir and how the earth changed during the time of the dinosaurs." Norman said.

"Very good," Mr. Bridger said before proceeding to write on the chalk board. Much to the whispering of people calling Norman a 'Nerd' and a 'Teacher's Pet'.

Owen looked down at his bag making sure that Frankie stayed put. The two large glowing eyes of the archeopteryx were enough to let him know that the dinosaur for the moment was staying put.

But as he turned his head to pay attention to the teacher Frankie looked outside of the bag. His large eyes looked around the room and seeing the new people. Pointing his nose out he took in the many scents that lingered in the room. A very noxious odor seemed to take to his nostrils as he looked behind him. A very large boy sat behind Owen and he proceeded to throw things at him. Frankie cocked his head and proceeded to peek outside of the bag. Luckily for him the bag was on the floor where no one can see him.

Poking his head out further Frankie eyed the boy behind Owen and made a growling noise. It was barely heard considering the sound of the chalk hitting the chalk board and the chatting of a number of students. Frankie looked around to see if there was anything he could eat. After all he is still hungry.

As he looked around he took a look at the large male and his friends once more. One of them seemed to be passing something to the large one. Frankie's sharp eyes zoomed in and his mouth began to water.

There in the boy's hand was a very large, very fat spider. Frankie was very hungry and the sight of that spider was enough to make him want to bite into it.

MEANWHILE

Owen was growing worried the feeling of dread had never left him as he stared at Mr. Bridger's back. He was busy taking down notes and trying to concentrate on studying. Norman was doing the same, but he kept eyeing Owen's bag as if whatever was inside was going to break out. The tension was thick as the two boys tried to concentrate. But Owen still could not shake the feeling of doom.

Then he turned around to face David…

Only to see the enormous spider he held in his hand. Owen saw its wiggling form coming directly at him. And it was only when the girl next to him screamed in fear did he start to move.

"What is...Mr. Gregson what is the meaning….PUT THAT THING AWAY NOW!" Mr. Bridger said noticing that David had taken the tarantula that he had kept out of his aquarium and was about to put it in Owen's shirt.

"But Mr. Bridger it's just a spider!" David said innocently.

"Mr. Gregson you will put that spider back this instant and detention for you," he said.

"Sure thing Mr. Bridger," David said as he got up to put the spider away. But he faked a fall and tossed the spider right at Owen.

Owen's eyes went wide at the spider as it spreads its legs and its fangs extend. Just as the spider was about to bite Owen a flash of feathers and teeth came from below and bit into the spider. Then doing a back flip Frankie landed on the floor with the spider in his mouth.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!" David shouted when he watched Frankie land on his feet and proceeded to bash the spider till it fell to pieces. When it landed in more pieces then he could count Frankie then ate the spider. Making sure to shake out all the hair from the spider before swallowing it.

Then he turned his attention to David.

"That is the ugliest parrot I have ever seen!" someone else said.

Frankie hissed at David showing his teeth and claws. His feathers were puffed out and his wings were extended making him look bigger. David and his gang backed in fear.

Owen saw Frankie hiss at David with teeth fully showing. His long tail fully raised in a threatening manner and claws flexing showing off his flight prowess. Then Owen smiled at the comments the other students made as they backed away.

"Grady this is your doing isn't it!?" David shouted at Owen as Frankie charged and the bullies raced away towards the wall.

Then David grabbed the nearest thing which was another student's baseball bat. Frankie screeched at him again not giving into the threat. He then leaped onto the desk his small size made for quite the threatening appearance. His enraged shriek was heard through the classroom. Then Frankie charged with David trying to hit him. His goons dove for cover as Frankie flew around David while he tried to swing at him with his bat. The other students quickly dodged for cover. More so from David's wild swinging then from Frankie's flying.

The archeopteryx easily flew around David having dealt with guns and mercenaries for the past few weeks. Some of the larger goons tried to catch Frankie but they had gotten bitten and badly scratched. When David went for Owen in a fit of rage Frankie bit into him just before he could land a blow on Owen. Screaming in pain David backed away and tried to get Frankie off of him. The only thing saving David from Frankie's claws was the thickness of his jersey jacket, but he was not safe from Frankie's teeth. The small dinosaur bit into his fingers and hands.

This caused him to drop the bat onto his foot. Screaming in pain he yelled at Owen, "Call him off Grady! Call him off!"

"What is going on here!" a voice shouted and Owen turned to find the principal there along with the janitor and several teachers. Mr. Bridger tried to help David but Frankie bit at him too.

Owen had a smile on his face for a little bit while his classmates were leaning against the walls. Some ran out the door.

"GRADY YOU SON OF A BITCH I WILL KILL YOU! IT CALL IT OFF!" David shouted.

"Owen!" this time Owen turned to see Norman among the people backed against the wall near the window. Sighing Owen turned towards David.

"Apologize to me now David and to the people whom you had stolen homework from," Owen said to him.

"Fuck you Grady!" was the reply as David tried to grab at Frankie but the dinosaur only shot poo right in his face. The caused many students to laugh at him.

"Apologize now!" Owen said.

"Mr. Grady what is going on here! And what is that thing?" the principal said seeing Frankie attacking David.

"When I find you Grady I will pulverize you!" David shouted.

"You will apologize to me for stealing my homework since the beginning of the year, and to the other students you bullied. If not my friend will enjoy eating your flesh like how he enjoyed that spider you tried to shove in the back of my shirt!" Owen said.

"Is this true Mr. Gregson?" the principal said to him.

"He's lying! he's lying Mr. Rogers he lies!" David shouted to him.

"Owen is telling the truth sir," it was Norman who spoke up. He was clearly shaking when he said this.

"Call that thing off Mr. Grady," said Mr. Rogers.

Sighing Owen turned towards the screaming David, "Frankie come!" he said holding out a cricket that he snatched from Mr. Bridger's box next to his chameleon.

Frankie released himself from David and flew towards Owen landing softly while snatching the bug from Owen's hand. When he finally swallowed it he gave a burp and licked himself. David gotten up from his position on the floor where he fell. His face was scratched and bleeding and a thick dark and white smelly substance clung to his face.

"Mr. Gregson you will be escorted to the nurses office while you Mr. Grady will have a lot of explaining to do once this is over with." The Principal Mr. Rogers said to him before pulling David up to be escorted to the health room all the while shouting curses at Owen. He was also followed by his goons. Owen stroked Frankie down as he ate his cricket. The other students finally got to see him for the first time.

"Owen what is he?" asked Mr. Bridger.

"Oh that is what I wanted to see you for before class sir. You see my feathered friend was hungry and I wanted to ask you for some of your crickets since you house the large ones," Owen replied.

"But Owen you still never told me what exactly is Frankie?" Norman said.

"Oh sorry," Owen said as he gotten in front of the classroom. By now some of the students had restored order to the class while other students from other classrooms and those who were curious to watch looked at Owen as he proudly walked up to the front.

"I don't know how he got out, but I should not have expected none the less from an archeopteryx." Owen said.

"A what?" asked the same blonde girl who was questioned earlier by the teacher.

"Ok, where to start," Owen said taking a breath.

"How about what is that monstrosity on your arm?" asked another boy this one was one of the nerdy boys that David also bullied.

"Well his name is Frankie and he's...well….he's a dinosaur," Owen said.

Immediately the classroom was in an uproar which Frankie screeched out a warning quieting the whole room. When the room was silent once more then he began to preen.

"Owen that is not possible dinosaurs don't have feathers," said Norman.

"Grady you can't be serious! Aren't dinosaurs supposed to be...y'know bigger?" said another student.

"Aren't dinosaurs supposed to be extinct?" a third student asked.

Owen smiled but someone was not smiling and that was the teacher. He leaned over towards Frankie who was busy preening. Frankie stopped when Mr. Bridger had gotten too close and took a swipe at him. Reacting quickly Mr. Bridger pulled back just in time before he could be mauled by Frankie's sharp teeth or raked by his claws. The warning hiss was all he had gotten.

"Mr. Grady how is that possible dinosaurs have been extinct for more then sixty five million years!" the science teacher said baffled.

"Tell that to his owner who found him as an egg on his dig site in Montana along with his brothers and sisters," Owen replied with a smile.

Just then the door opened once again and the principal entered he was not too pleased. "Mr. Grady do come with me," he said his voice was not the slightest bit pleasant.

"Frankie come!" Owen said keeping Frankie in place by holding his bottom claws. The archeopteryx protested at first but he was carried away while they walked silently down the hall.

"Tell me Mr. Grady how did that creature end up here?" The Principal said when they entered his office. Owen sat down in the chair in front of him while the Principal sat down behind his desk.

"I don't know how. My parents put him in a raven proof cage which is very hard to get out of. But...I am not surprised Frankie gotten out. After all we were warned that he was a master escape artist," Owen replied.

"Who warned you?" asked the Principal.

"Dr. Grant his owner. We were watching him for Dr. Alan Grant while he is recovering from an injury in Costa Rica," Owen replied. Frankie at this time then settled down on Owen's shoulder and tucked himself in for a quick snooze. After leaving a very loud gas explosion from his rear end.

"So he escaped from his cage somehow and ended up here? How is that possible Mr. Grady," the principal Mr. Rodgers said from behind his desk.

Owen sighed causing Frankie to stir from his perch and the archeopteryx gave off a cooing noise as he started to preen Owen. His soft chirping alerted the secretary whom came in to investigate. When she saw Frankie she was a little disturbed by the sight of him.

"I will explain later Mina," Mr. Rodgers said to his secretary.

The secretary left to resume her work leaving Owen with the principal once more. He swallowed before he started to explain. "Well you see Frankie has a keen sense of smell sir he probably could smell me from my house. But the reason is why out in the cold? I don't know why he was out in the cold sir since he don't do so well in cold weather."

"It is starting to snow outside once again and I don't think anyone is going outside that is for sure. According to the weather report there is a blizzard coming in from the north." Mr. Rodgers said.

Owen sighed, "How is David doing?" he asked.

"Other then having anger problems he confessed to taking the homework of other students, including yours. So I am not going to punish you for your, 'pet' being in the building Mr. Grady but what I am going to ask you is will you testify to his bullying. Now mind you his appearance before the board will not happen until he is fully recovered from his attack. His parents are not going to be happy about it." Mr. Rodgers said looking at Owen square in the eye. His dark eyes catching Owen's stormy gray blues.

"I'm sorry sir it won't happen again," Owen said.

"I'm sure it won't but because you violated the no pets policy you are sentenced to detention along with several of his other culprits," he said.

Owen gulped not liking this at all.

DETENTION

Owen scrubbed a nearby wall full of graffiti. It was in the girl's locker room one of the rooms he was dreading. Beside him was the janitor as well as some of David's friends. They were there watching Owen as if he were some sort of disease. Owen gulped as he continued to scrub the walls.

"Now you folks will keep scrubbing till the wall is clean understood?" the janitor said.

Owen really hated his life right now and just wished something would happen.

When he looked up the Janitor and David's friends were gone.

Great just great, Owen thought.

MEANWHILE

Frankie hated this cage for it was dark and there is nothing to do. He scratched and he clawed at the cage wanting to get out but it held.

At least for the moment.

"Shh I think it is in here," said a soft voice.

Frankie instantly quieted when he heard it. Cocking his head to listen his third eye lid blinked when he heard something scraping against the door. He couldn't see through the cloth over his cage, but he could hear well enough.

The sound of something breaking instantly had his feathers up. His growl was well heard throughout the cage. His pupil became a pin-prick when he smelled a familiar scent. He did not like this human and from the smell of it Frankie knew who it is.

"Look there's the cage!" another voice said.

Frankie's growls grew more prominent as the sound of footsteps and giggling gotten closer. Then suddenly the cover was lifted and he was looking into a pocked face of one of the kids he met in the classroom.

"See what did I tell you!" he whispered to his friends.

"Oh look at the colors on his feathers!" said a girl with a very shrilly voice.

Frankie was not having it as he rushed to the cage and began to gnaw at the bars. His growling was heard as he tried to swipe at them with his claws as well. The kids laughed at him as they poked and prodded him with such cruelty.

"He does not look like a dinosaur!" said another kid this one with thick glasses. He snorted when Frankie lifted is tail and made a mess on one of the kids shirts.

"Eww! Now I will smell like shit….gross I think that was the spider that was in Mr. Bridger's classroom!" the girl who spoke said. She was screeching as she looked down at her shirt.

"Hey what are you kids doing here!" said a voice one that Frankie recognized as Mr. Rodgers the principal.

"Nothing," they all said.

"I can see that, Amanda clean yourself up, Timmy and the rest of you back to detention!" the principal said pointing out the door.

The kids walked out leaving the principal to stare at Frankie who was eyeing him with curiosity. He cocked his head this way and that looking at him from all angles. The principal looked at him before sitting behind his desk. The phone rang signaling someone was trying to call him. Taking the phone in his hand and putting it to his ear he answered, "This is Principal Rodgers," he said.

Frankie listened in while eyeing the shiny object around Principal Rodger's fingers.

"Yes Mr. Gregson your son was attacked….I have the animal here with me in my office caged." the principal said.

"What was that? Oh it was a bird that attacked your son. Yes the animal escaped his master's home or so the boy said." Mr. Rodgers said.

Frankie heard mutterings from the phone piece as the man on the other end was apparently shouting at the principal. He could not make out the gender of the person yelling but for a small dinosaur he could guess that something was up.

"Unfortunately I can't call animal control on it because the actual owner is in Costa Rica. That's right the animal does not belong to the boy or is his family. They were watching it for a friend and somehow it escaped...yes I understand perfectly Mr. Gregson. However I also want to talk about your son's behav…..yes, yes I know he was injured….is it that extensive? I didn't know I was trying to rush him to the healthroom so I can return to help contain the animal...Yes, I know that sir but you have to understand the safety of my other….I see well I will have to speak to the Grady's about this. You have a good day for you," with that Frankie saw him hang up the phone. He gave a sigh before picking up the phone again to another call.

"Yes, this is Principal Rodgers," he said and he listened to the muffled voices on the other end.

"Mrs. Grady? Oh yes thank you for returning my call." the Principal said.

Grady? Frankie lifted head up further so he could see the desk better. He watched as the principal conversed on the phone.

"Yes Mrs. Grady he somehow made his way here according to your son and then he attacked several students….I see so he responded to that? Ok I understand so how do I ensure he does not….oh ok. So how soon can you get here to pick him up? Oh, I see so what do I do with him in the meantime?" The principal looked flustered at the voice on the other end.

"Keep him with the boy? I can't do that ma'am….what do you mean he would only break out again? That cage has held back….oh! Ok now that is something new, no one told me of this. Ok I understand but how do we contain him then?…...Oh, ah, ok thank you Mrs. Grady." When the principal hung up the phone he looked at the cage where Frankie was watching him. It was a long staring contest with neither backing down to the other.

Frankie hissed at the principal showing his teeth as a way of his displeasure of being caged. He screeched as loud as he could and reached out with his claws. Trying to swipe at the man who imprisoned him in this cage. But Principal Rodgers kept his distance even as Frankie bit into the cage bars.

"You can't get out of that one my friend the bars are meant to hold dogs which are much stronger then birds." he said.

Frankie looked at him for a second cocked his head and hissed once more. Then he looked around the cage trying to see a way out. He hopped from one end to the other and when he finally spotted something he turned to look at the principal and bit into the wire the separated the cage bars. The principal watched as Frankie pulled on the wires and began to twist them into a straight line. Then when that was over he then pulled on them to get them out. As soon as they fell out the cage fell apart and the principal was staring at Frankie who ruffled his feathers. Giving him a cold stare even go so far as to hiss at him and lifting his tongue.

The Principal was just speechless as Frankie shook himself snorted and hopped down from his spot just outside of the cage. Walking like any dinosaur would do given his overly large wings he walked towards the door and looked at the handle. It was one of those round handles that he had seen on the Grady's home. Flapping his wings he flew up to the door and used his legs to open the door. This is not his house so he does not have to listen to the rules.

When the door opened he landed on the ground and walked out...well not before leaving a very nasty mess on the ground cutesy of his lunch.

OWEN

Owen had just finished cleaning the girl's locker room. Who knew that girls could be so messy! He is never going to question his mother about her time of the month ever again! If Maria gets it then he is just going to hide in his room and never come out till its over. Owen had just become a lot wiser for it. Not only that but he was the only one who stayed.

The goons who was supposed to be here with him bailed the first chance they got. So that resulted in Owen cleaning the girls locker room by himself as well as the boys locker room and most of the gym. He was tired sore and hungry if his growling stomach had anything to go by. Walking out he was greeted by the Janitor who waited for his return.

"So Mr. Grady you are the only one who remained I am surprised. I expected you to be like your friends and bailed the first chance they got?" he said.

"No sir," Owen replied.

"Will Owen Grady please report to the principal's office please, will Owen Grady please report to the Principal's Office." was the voice on the intercom.

Sighing Owen gathered his things and thanked the Janitor for his help before heading over to the office.

PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

When Owen entered the Principal's office there was a man there with Principal Rodgers along with is parents. Owen gulped as he entered. He turned to the cage where Frankie normally would be….only to find it empty.

"Where's Frankie?" Owen asked.

"You tell us young man," said the older gentlemen in the chair.

"I don't know what you are talking about I was in detention you can ask the janitor," Owen said.

"Owen darling Frankie escaped again," Jessica said.

"Escaped?" Owen asked.

"Yes, quite spectacularly," Richard replied pointing to the mess the secretary was cleaning up.

Looking sheepish Owen turned to the Principal, "What do you want me to do about it?" he said.

"Since you are a student at this school if you recapture that animal I will have you taken off the detention list." the Principal said.

"What about that animal? I want it destroyed! It attacked my son!" the man said.

"Wait? you're David's father?" Owen asked. He expected David's father to be well….neglectful or almost abusive but from the man in front he looked to be ordinary. He was dressed like someone who works in a restaurant with the food stains on his apron. He also was clean shaven and his hair was slicked back and neatly combed.

"You can't destroy that animal he is the only member of his species and the only one of his kind left in the world. Destroying him would destroy his species forever," Richard Grady said looking at his wife for support.

"You claim that thing is a dinosaur but so far what I heard is that it looks more like a deformed bird then a dinosaur." the Principal said to Jessica.

"Birds don't have teeth or claws on their wings," said Richard.

"That one bird from New Guinea has claws on its wings," Mr. Gregson replied.

"If you are referring to the Hoazin they are not from New Guinea they are from South America. And Frankie is not a Hoatzin he is an Archeopteryx a species that is the link between dinosaurs and birds. And for your information he is the only one of his kind and your son attacked mine. In fact he has been attacking mine for quite sometime!" Jessica shouted getting on her feet with Richard trying to hold her back.

"My son is top athlete in this school with straight A's and you dare say he is a bully!" Mr. Gregson said.

"Your son is both a bully and a fraud! Why don't you ask him simple questions about his academics give him a test per say then lets see who has the last laugh." Jessica replied.

"Are you saying my son is an idiot!" Mr. Gregson shouted.

"ENOUGH!" Principal Rodgers shouted. Owen cringed when he raised his voice and tried to shy away towards the door. A large hand landed on his shoulder and he looked up at another person who entered, the janitor.

"It is ok Owen," the Janitor said as he came to further clean up the mess.

Their attention returned to the Principal, "I will not have that sort of behavior in my school. Bad enough I have to deal with teenagers who fight on a daily basis but it is worse when I have to deal with adults! Now sit down all of you!" he said forcefully. Everyone sat as he looked at each and every one of them.

"Now as for the situation with your son and the Grady's accusations he will be subjected to a standardize placement test with only himself. This is to ensure that your son is telling the truth and not lying about his academics. If he passes the required threshold Mr. Gregson then your son will remain as he is on the football team. However if he fails then further investigation will be underway with intense scrutiny and I mean intense scrutiny. I do not care for cheaters in this school and neither does the board of directors. Our school prides itself on honest work and I will not have that reputation tarnished by one students fraudulent actions. Young Owen here will also be subjected to the same tests to be fair since looking at his latest grads he was also showing signs of failing. If he passes then further investigation will be underway as to why his grades were failing. Then with proper tutoring and assessment from his teachers he will be brought back up to standards with the rest of the students. Now all students involved in this investigation will have their parents notified of what happened here in this school, but for now you all will sit down and act like adults or I will have you all removed form my school!" he said.

Everyone sat down Owen only gulped when he was offered a chair this was not going to end well.

FRANKIE

Frankie made it out of the room he was in thanks to several vents that ran into the main office. So far no one has seen him, but at the same time he almost gotten sucked into the fans on the other side. That was something he was not looking forward to. He was also very thirsty since there is no water. Thankfully the rats that were living here provided a nice snack outside of the spiders and roaches. Normally he don't eat rat but they make a nice treat once in a while.

As he crawled through a scent caught wind in his nostrils. It was one that always delighted him as he made his way further along the vents.

It was here at the end that he finally managed to find the source just below him. Looking down through the vent were several people in white clothes chopping food. He always enjoyed the scent of human food though not all of it tasted as good as a beetle, but still. The scent was delightful as he looked at all the food his claws could grab. Frankie needed a way down there and looked for a way to get out. It was then he spotted several seems in the vent he was coming out from. Ticking his tail feathers he started to bite into the vent.

MEANWHILE

Owen left the adults having been dismissed for lunch. His stomach growled as he made his way over towards the cafeteria for something to eat. It was by luck that he managed to make it to second lunch. First lunch is normally reserved for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. Owen himself is in the seventh grade so he is mid-level middle school student. That meant that he was supposed to take first lunch. But due to his recent adventure with detention he has to take second lunch.

So Owen is stuck going to lunch alone.

As he waited in line he noticed something off to his right and his heart sank. David's friends have finally showed up after disappearing from detention. Not only were they there, but so was a very angry David. He held stitches to his face and his demeanor was one of pure rage. He looked around the school and finally noticed Owen in line.

Owen began to back away pushing and shoving as David came right at Owen. Owen tried to run images of the mercenaries back on Isla Nublar have begun to return to his mind. But before he could get very far two of David's friends managed to catch him and pin him to the wall.

Other students quickly gathered around trying to get the best view of the pummeling that was about to occur. Some of them even started to chant for a fight. David snagged Owen from his two goons as Owen tried to hit and get at him but David's grip was two strong. He held one hand to Owen's throat while the other he started to hit him in the face. Owen thrashed kicking and punching but David was too strong. He started to lose air as the shouts and chanting of the students rang in his ear. Some even tried to get David off of him calling a coward.

But David still hit David's face. Then without warning the screaming started and another figure ran at David pulling him away from Owen. David turned and something black came into his hand. The figure backed away and Owen barely saw through bloodied eyes the face of the boy who spoke to him in Gym class, Matt.

Matt was there in full uniform along with several other members of the football team. They along with a few cheerleaders came rushing into the circle trying to break up the students so that others can look to Owen. They were currently being fought off by David's friends.

But when David pulled out the gun everything stopped. The few teachers trying to help stopped as well. No one moved for a second till the screaming started and the lunch room scattered as people ran to find a place to hide. Matt was standing there frozen in fear as David held the gun to him. Then he pointed the gun at Owen. No one heard the crash or the shriek from the kitchens. The screaming from the cooks or the splashing sounds of something in the soup.

Everything was still as Owen looked down the barrel of the gun. His mind was playing with him as images of the mercenaries came back to him. His fear was in an all time high as he was frozen still.

"You ruined me Grady! My father wants me to take a test! A FUCKEN TEST! Ha! Fuck him and fuck you for ruining it for me. You and that fucken freak show bird. I am going to fix it and I am going to show you who is the true man around here!" David said.

"Don't do it David!" another voice shouted and David turned to see his father there along with the Principal and Owen's own parents. They had shocked looks on their faces as they looked at David in fear.

"Fuck you dad!" David shouted back as he aimed the gun at Owen.

"David don't do this don't throw yourself away like this!" his father said.

"Fuck you!" David shouted as he went to shoot his own father. Then without warning something hit David from the side.

A ball of feathers came flying out from the kitchens shrieking as it attacked David's hand. Shrieking in pain David dropped the gun and proceeded to fight off Frankie. Some of David's friends rushed to help save David from Frankie. Owen now freed rushed to Mr. Gregson's side. Mr. Gregson who had fallen over a chair was nursing a bruise on his face.

David's friends rushed over to help fend off Frankie while security for the school rushed to help contain the animal.

"Are you ok Mr. Gregson?" asked Owen as he helped the man up.

"I'm fine, call off your bird please!" he said to Owen.

Owen turned towards where the ruckus was with his own parents trying to call Frankie but the archeopteryx would not listen.

"Frankie come!" Owen shouted.

The shrieking insisted as many people had been bit or hurt by Frankie. But Owen persisted trying to stop this madness from going further.

"FRANKIE STOP! COME HERE!" Owen raised his voice loud enough for Frankie to hear.

Eventually the archeopteryx heard him and came flying out of the pile of people to Owen's waiting hand. The animal cooed as Owen softly stroked him to calm him down. Blood dripped from his snout and all four of his talons. His eyes glared at Mr. Gregson as he looked back at Frankie.

"What is that thing?" he said finally seeing Frankie for the first time.

"He is a dinosaur," Owen said.

Those that remained in the cafeteria looked on in awe and fear at Frankie who puffed his feathers before shaking them. Owen only put his head to Frankie's to comfort the distressed animal. Mr Gregson who was shaken by what Frankie is looked at him in terror especially when he saw the damage that Frankie inflicted on his son.

David's wounds had been reopened but this time deep marks are littered across his arms and hands. Because he fended off Frankie further damage thankfully was spared from his face. But his hands were mangled and torn down to the bone. Blood was dripping everywhere as people even the school nurse rushed to help him. David the whole time was screaming at Owen that he would kill Frankie and kill everyone out there.

Mr. Gregson sighed as he looked at Frankie and came closer. Frankie huffed as he puffed out his feathers in warning.

"Frankie stop," Owen said as he held Frankie's snout to tell him no. Frankie struggled at first but relented afterward. His wings relaxed against his body but his head feathers were still raised. Owen then started scratching the top of his head where scales meets feathers and Frankie's eyes rolled back in a relaxing fashion. He then leaned into the touch while someone handed him a wet cloth to help clean the blood off of his feathers.

"That thing? He is loyal to you isn't he?" Mr. Gregson said his voice raw with emotion. His son was just mauled by Frankie and taken to a hospital he was still in shock by what happened to him. But still he was staring into the eyes of a creature that was supposed to be extinct. A creature that can be as dangerous as he can be beautiful.

"I was there when he was born. He sort of imprinted on me as a member of his family. So I guess he sees me as a member of his flock," Owen said.

Frankie hissed showing off the row of teeth but Mr. Gregson slowly reached his hand out only for Frankie to snap at it.

"I would not touch him right now sir he is under stress," Owen replied.

"I see, he is dangerous just look at what he did to my son," Mr. Gregson said.

"Your son has done worse to me sir," Owen replied his voice shaking.

"I will talk to the doctors but that animal should be dealt with," Mr. Gregson said before walking off being escorted by the newly arrived police. As they appeared with animal control the only thing they got was the fright of their lives when Frankie huffed at them again.

The claws alone were enough to scare them as they backed off but a snapping jaw full of teeth and large eyes makes up for the frightening appearance.

"Let us deal with him guys because if you come at him with nets he will maul you," Jessica warned them. They knew here from the vet's office in town so they backed off.

Frankie was in a staring contest with Matt who could not keep his eyes off of the dinosaur. Frankie looked at Matt in curiosity before settling down on Owen's arm. His snort was enough to show that he was not in the mood to be handled by anyone else.

"Mr. and Mrs. Grady why don't you take your son and animal home. I will have his teachers compile the rest of his assignments and have someone deliver them to your home," Mr. Rodgers said to them. The Grady's agreed as they escorted Owen home with a very huffy Frankie.

LATER

Owen sat in his room doing his homework. Frankie was preening himself on the bed and Ruby was on the floor. The events of the past two days had rubbed off on the Grady's and it was only now that Owen realized how much responsibility has to be given to taking care of Frankie. Dr. Grant had been right to warn the Grady's in the past that taking care of dinosaurs is a full time commitment. And now he is starting to believe that.

The events that had happened nearly two days ago now had made Owen suspended from school but not for bad behavior. It was because he is currently being investigated for being the victim of bullying and to prevent Frankie from coming back to the school and causing more havoc. So far none of his friends had been able to visit him because their parents had forbid them from visiting him. He felt isolated and alone as he finished his last assignment.

It was at this time that the doorbell rang and he could hear his mother answering the door. There was silence at the moment until Maria poked her head into the room.

"Owen your friends are here," she said to him.

Raising his head up from his desk Owen walked out but not before Frankie hopped onto his shoulder refusing to leave his side. Ruby followed behind him as they made their way to the stairs.

There at the foot of the stairs was none other then Matt the senior from school. Right behind him was Norman and the rest of Owen's friends. All of them bringing gifts and assortments for him when he arrived.

"Sorry we could not come sooner but Matt decided to come and break us out of our houses," Norman said.

Owen smiled for the first time in days as they came up the stairs much to the excited chirping of Frankie. Everyone backed off at first but Owen smiled knowing the sounds that Frankie makes.

"Don't worry he is just excited to see new people he is not angry," Owen said.

They all laughed before they went into Owen's room to chat and have fun. And for the first time Owen felt as if the experience at school had brought them all that much closer.

ONE MONTH LATER

It has been one month since the incident at school and Owen was walking with confidence towards his science class. On his shoulder was Frankie who sported a new jacket from one of the students so that way people can be aware of what Frankie actually is. Owen gotten a good laugh when his friend Nancy managed to present it to him a day ago. The principal Mr. Rodgers had been hammered by requests by students and a few teachers to have him return to the school. Frankie as it turns out is sort of a hero with exposing David and his goons to the bullying that had been going on at school.

But the Principal was pressured by concerned parents about Frankie returning to school. Frankie had proven that he is dangerous and wild. But after Owen explained why Frankie broke out of his cage many concerns were still raised. Now Owen had missed the science fair since David destroyed his project and ruined his reports. So by the request of many parents and teachers he and the other students who were effected by the bully had to present their projects yet again.

So now Owen was in front of the classroom along with several others and in the back of the biology classroom was the school Board of Directors. They along with Owen's parents and the parents of the students who had been victimized by David and his goons are now getting some closure. The said students had been short on grades needed to pass into the next level. But due to the investigation of David's criminal activities it was found that they were victims of bullying.

So now with the bully gone Owen was free to present his make up report to his science class.

But his class was not the only one. Everyone in school wanted to see Frankie. A real live living dinosaur right there with them. Frankie was wearing Nancy's sweater that has the words on the back, 'Beware of me for I will bite,' on the back and 'Owen's Little Monster,' on the front. It was really adorable. And since Nancy with a little help from Matt who turns out owns a few birds made the sweater to match Frankie's feathers.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen I want your attention please!" said Mr. Bridger as he stood in front of the class.

"Our next speaker has caused quite a stir this year in school so as a treat he would be presenting his science fair project to you. As well as letting us get first hand experience with our long lost missing link. Go ahead Owen the front is yours," Mr. Bridger said to Owen.

Owen was nervous but he managed to walk up with pride. He was wearing the shirt he had taken from the Visitor's Center back on Isla Nublar. Everyone thought it was a good joke and Owen even said that a friend of his came up with the design. Not wanting to tell them about his adventures on the Dinosaur infested Island. On his left arm was Frankie who had removed the hoodie from his head with his wing claws. Owen laughed as he had the hood hocked onto his right claw. Making it look like he was some sort of cartoon character.

"Hi, I'm Owen Grady and I am in the seventh grade. Today I will be presenting my science fair project which is on Dinosaurs and what happens if they were to be alive today in modern society. And this little guy with me is named Frankie who is a dinosaur. He is on loan from our good family friend Dr. Alan Grant who lives in Montana with the rest of his dinosaurs. Right behind me on my presentation board I have pictures of all the other dinosaurs that he owns. And no they are not fake or dressed up animals they are real and as you can see with Frankie they are also wild animals." And so Owen spent a good half hour presenting his project as well as answering many questions from many people. Frankie since he is not in the cage was enjoying the attention and only sat on Owen's arm preening. He had fed on a large tray of big juicy cockroaches presented by Mr. Bridger. So he was content and full and enjoying the moment.

Owen was enjoying the fact that the rest of his school year will be a lot smoother now that Frankie had gotten rid of David the bully. He just prays that Dr. Grant will be ok in Costa Rica.
