Traveling Time Museum
The next day, Lunensis was at Don's house to hang out. Right now, the 2 of them were having tea in Don's backyard garden while their dinosaurs were playing together.
"So Lunensis, did you had fun at the Valentine Day Party? Tell me all about it." Don said excitely to hear what his best friend reply.
"You don't know the half of it. It was the most strange, epic valentine ever." Lunensis sigh going through all the lovesick people and dinosaurs. Including Erwin.
"Aha~. I wish I could have seen it myself. As the Love Master, I could've done something to help." Don said regretting he couldn't come along.
"Please Don, don't. It's something even a Love Master couldn't do. But at least everything went back to normal at the end."
It's revealed that Don's reason for asking Lunensis to the valentine party was to convince him to enjoy himself for once from working and training hard everyday. The other reason he did not know was maybe Lunensis could even find someone to enjoy together other than him.
"Oh yeah, you said that everyone got cured from the love fever using a rose, right?
"Yup! Look!" Lunensis show Don the yellow Mood Rose that used to cure Erwin.
"Woah, a yellow rose! I never expected that." Don said in surprise.
As the 2 continued talking about the valentine incident, they're right now at the important point where Don asked about finding a partner to dance during the party. Of course, Lunensis answered that he's not interested in dancing with other women other than his first love and childhood friend, Maia.
"By the way, you said that you've reunited with that girl we met during that Orphanage's play event, right? If I'm not mistaken, her name was... Maia, isn't it?" Don asked the part where Lunensis met and reunited with the girl he had a crush on.
"Yeah, I did. It was kind of a heroic reunion if you ask me. I sure did those thugs a good beating with Erwin's help." Lunensis shyly scratch his cheek.
"So, now that you 2 have reunited, what are you going to do now? Like are you going to ask her out?" Don smirk.
"Ehh?! T-that's too sudden? Besides, I don't have much experience with in this kind of thing!" Lunensis blush frantically.
"Hehehe. Just leave it me, the Love Master! I can give you a head start on what to do." Don bump his fist onto his chest.
"Oh I don't know about that." Lunensis sweat drop feeling unsure if it works. But with no time to lose, Lunensis gave Don a chance to speak up to see what his best friend had in mind.

(AT MAIA'S WORKPLACE)
Maia and Wanda were making the baby dinosaur's snacks for their bedtime.
"Here you go little ones." The girls fed them.
BARK
The babies ate their food happily and after they finished, they're all sleeping soundly in their beds.
After that, Wanda and Maia were having their free time talking about what happened after the Valentine Day yesterday. Maia told Wanda about the incident where she was being stalked by scary thugs and about her getting rescued by her childhood friend.
"Oh my gosh! Were you hurt? They didn't do anything weird to you, were they?" Wanda said in concern.
"No, I'm alright. It's thanks to Lunensis and Erwin saving me, I didn't get hurt." Maia said.
"Thank goodness! I was beginning to worry sick about you. Especially with you walking home late at night even though the Deinonychus trio were with you. Cosmo and I should've walk you home together. It's dangerous for women to walk alone at night." Wanda said wishing she and Cosmo could've protect Maia to avoid dangers.
"It's fine, Wanda. Besides, Dino, Dano and Sue were really tired during all that fiesta at Valentine Day. I don't want to bother them."
"Well it's a good thing you protected them from those creeps. I know those 3 were really grateful to you."
"Thanks, Wanda." Maia smiled.
As the 2 continue talking about when the next time something Maia goes home alone without the trio guarding her, the couple would do the honors.
"Anyway Maia, about that man and Eoraptor... When are you going to meet them? I would like to give my thanks to him if we run in." Wanda asked about Maia's rescuer.
"Um... Well, we did exchange numbers. But I don't know if I'll see him again. Also I made this hand-made handkerchief." Maia took out the white handkerchief with Lunensis' name written in yellow thread and a golden moon embroidery on it.
"Wow, it looks wonderful! I'm sure he'll like it!" Wanda said impressed by Maia's handicraft. "So, when are you going to give it to him?
"Well..." Before Maia could think of a way, her Dinoshot's beeping.
BEEP BEEP
"I wonder who could it be?" Maia Dinoshot has receive 1 new message. She look at the name who send it.
"Ah, it's from Lunensis!" Maia gasp.
"Eh, really? What's it say?" Maia open the message.
[Hi, Maia.
This is embarrassing and my first time, messaging you after we met last night. But I was wondering, if you have time... Maybe we could meet each other and hang out together?
Do you know the "Ancient Time Museum"? The 1 that's not too far from the Orphanage where we first met. I was thinking of spending time with you and maybe... I don't know, catching up with the time now that we've reunited.
I'll be waiting for your reply.
Lunensis O'Sauria.]
"Ehh?! Could this be? Could this mean, he's inviting you out a date?!" Wanda surprising said when they read the message.
"Umm... I not sure if it's a date. He just said that he's asking if we could hang out." Maia sweatdrop.
"But, but... I still think he's inviting you out. Besides that, this could be your only chance to give that handkerchief you made." Wanda suggest.
"Oh... I could give it to him when it comes. But I'm not sure about the inviting out part from what you're thinking of." Maia thought it's a good chance to do it. "Well anyway, I should reply back to him."
Maia began to write her reply on her Dinoshot.

(AT DON'S PLACE)
BEEP BEEP
"Oh, a reply! Hurry and read it!" Don said excitingly.
"Calm down, Don. I'm getting to it." Lunensis read the message.
[Hello to you too Lunensis,
Yes, I would love to. I wanted to spend time catching up with you too.
Tell me where and when will be meeting and I'll schedule my time.
Maia Sauropod.
P. S Thanks for saving me last night.]
"All right, she said yes! Isn't that great, Lunensis?!" Don cheer.
"Come on Don, you don't have to get all excited. It's not like you're the 1 going." Lunensis sweatdrop at his friend's happy mood.
"Of course I know that man! As a Love Master, it's my duty to support people in love and give advice. You can count on me too if you need help." Don put a thumbs up pointing at himself.
"Ah ha... Thanks, I appreciate it."

(THE NEXT DAY IN THEIR MEETING TIME)
The time has come for the reunited childhood friends to meet. Maia was already ready to meet Lunensis at their meeting place. He told her in the message to meet each other at the Dino Park.
"Oh, I'm so nervous. I wonder if I'm dressed right." Maia said looking at herself.
Maia was wearing a short sleeve blue ruffle dress, white vest and blue strap heels. Her hair has a blue headband with a snowflake on the left side and she's carrying a black handbag.
Meanwhile from behind the scenes, the Deinonychus trio were hiding in chibi form feeling anxious.
"I can't believe Maia's going out for the first time without us." Sue said feeling a bit hurt.
"It can't be help, Sue. She said she'll be meeting with her childhood friend when she was younger. Not to mention she looks really happy." Dano calm Sue.
"Well for me, I felt regret that we didn't do anything to help her when she was in danger after she cheered us up." Dino said remembering the time when they turn back into a card and that time, if they could turn themselves without Maia summoning, they could prevent the danger.
"Yeah, you're right. But this time, we'll do our best to watch over Maia if anything dangerous happens." Dano said.
"But is it alright to be in our chibi form instead of our adult form?" Sue questioned not feeling sure if this was a good idea.
"Of course it is. In our small form, we'll attract less attention from having any humans noticing us. Besides, we're fast and plenty of stamina thanks to our years of ninja training." Dino said stating about the facts.
"As expected of Brother Dino! We're so lucky to have you as our brother!" Dano and Sue as they gave Dino a big hug.
"So am I. I'm lucky to have a brother and sister like you." Dino thanked.
While the 3 were in a happy sibling moment, they heard a man's voice.
"Maia!" It was Lunensis voice.
"Lunensis!" Maia wave.
"So, that must be the childhood friend that Maia was talking about!" Sue said looking at the man with reddish-brown hair and brown eyes.
Lunensis was dressed in a white shirt, black jacket, dark blue jeans with a belt and brown shoes.
Lunensis and Maia met up at last. They're smiling happily at each other and the same time, feeling a bit nervous.
"Did I made you wait?" Lunensis asked feeling tired from his rapid panting.
"Oh no, I came here 10 minutes ago from our meeting time." Maia smiled.
"Thank goodness, I was so nervous last night that I couldn't get any sleep. At least thanks to Erwin waking me up instead of an alarm clock. Haha." Lunensis sigh in relief.
"Oh by the way, where's Erwin? Isn't he with you?" Maia asked.
"Actually, he's here." Lunensis took out Erwin's card from his pocket. "I decided to spend time together just the 2 of us."
"Oh, I see."
"Well anyway, let's go and get something to eat first before we go to the museum." The 2 head off to a nearby Cafe.
They reach to a Café called Saurus Patisserie. Inside the store, it sells many cakes decorated in dinosaur theme. Lunensis and Maia took a seat at the outside table. They drank 2 cups of hot chocolate and the food they ordered 2 slices of vanilla flavor cake with a picture of a triceratops on it. While they were eating, they talked about what were they doing during the time they part ways after the end of Maia's Orphanage event.
"Oh? You became a Fossil Fighter?" Maia said.
"Not only that, I'm also a Dino Duelist in training. Erwin and I have been training hard." Lunensis added.
"Wow, that's amazing. Do your best! I'll support you all the way!" Maia said with a big smile in a cheerful way.
"Thank you. So how about you, Maia? How's your life taking care of baby dinosaurs?" Lunensis continued.
"It's the most happy and I made lots of friends! Especially Dino, Dano and Sue!" Maia smiled.
"Dino, Dano and Sue? Who're they?" Lunensis raise an eyebrow.
"The Deinonychus trio. They're the first dinosaurs I'd made friends with. You could say, they're very swift, energetic and protective." Maia said describing the Deinonychus trio.
"Oh~."
Meanwhile, the trio were still watching Maia from a distance and they heard everything what Maia and Lunensis were talking.
"Swift..." Dino start off.
"Energetic..." Dano followed.
"And protective..." Sue finished.
"Oh Maia! We're so... HAPPY!" The 3 shouted in happiness. But little did they know, they're so happy that they roared really loud, noticing people were looking at them.
Noticing that they're loud. Before Maia and Lunensis could turn their heads to see where the roaring came from, they instantly dissappear into a nearby tree.
"Eh? What was that?"
"Weird, I thought I heard something."
At the trio's close call, they sigh in relief.
"That was close!" Dino said.
Back at Lunensis and Maia, they forget about the noise they heard as they continue eating and then head off to the museum where their destination awaits.
"Come on guys, Maia's leaving. Let's keep up with them!" The trio jump from tree to tree like ninjas following them while keeping their stealth.

(AT THE MUSEUM)
After they had some lunch, they reach to the museum that Lunensis talk about in the message.
"Here we are, Maia. This is the museum I told you about." Lunensis introduced the museum building. The museum name was named "Ancient Time Museum" in honor of the Ancient Family that made the dinosaur revolution possible alongside Dr. Z the Dinosaur King.
"Wow, I've heard of Dr. Ancient. It's my first time visiting here. I can't wait!" Maia felt excited.
"Let's go!" With that the 2 went inside the building.
Inside the museum, there were many prehistoric and interesting things that Dr. Ancient and his family had descovered. Not to mention there were dinosaurs and other animal bones with information about them.
"Maia, let's visit the 7 time relic treasure section. I heard that it tells a story about how they went through different times and they collect something to remember by." Lunensis show Maia upstairs of the museum.
While they went upstairs, the Deinonychus trio carefully follow them without being seen.
On the upper floor, climbing the stairs, they saw 7 small panorama of 7 different time and place of the treasure the Ancient found.
First is Ancient Rome, Italy in the year of 73 BC. It showed a coliseum diorama with gladiators on it. The treasure of Rome was a special, delicious pizza recipe displaying in a glass case.
Second is the Caribbean Seas in the year 1718. It showed an island and a pirate ship on the sea diorama. The treasure from that island was an old treasure map with a few gold coins and a ruby necklace.
Third is China in the year 636 A.D. It show old looking houses, and fields for planting. The treasure was a big, tall fruit tree planted in good soil. It's said that this tree grew fruits that'll give people eternal youth and life. Right now the tree doesn't have any fruits at the moment.
Maia was smiling lovingly at the tree and touch her palm on the tree's trunk. After they left for the fourth section, they didn't noticed the tree started to grow fruits.
Meanwhile as the Deinonychus trio were following them, they stop at the China Time section. They were looking at the tree with nostalgic memories.
"This tree brings back memories, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, I could still remember it like it was yesterday."
"Me too."
(DEINONYCHUS TRIO'S FLASHBACK)
It was during the time when the Deinonychus trio were being summoned alongside the other secret dinosaurs by Dr. Z in order to spend more time with his favorite, the Therizinosaurus.
Around the time Dr. Ancient were cleaning and gathering the things from the returned Backlander, he found something really interesting in the storage room among other things that he and his family had discovered.
"Well look what I found. These must be the things that those kids had found throughout the times and places while we were in hostage. How nice. I think I know just what to do with them." Dr. Ancient said as he grab the 6 treasures and the mammoth bones.
At his home, he put the small treasure aside to plant the plant from China's time in a new fresh patch of soil in the garden until it grew big.
"There, until you're big enough, you'll be in display to let everybody know what you are." He finished water it and went back into his house.
Meanwhile, the tree grew up healthy as time pass by and it finally became big with fruits. The Deinonychus trio passed by the tree trying to get away from Dr. Z from finding them.
"Sigh! Away from that old man at last!" Dino said.
"You could say that again. I can't stand looking at him!" Dano said.
"Me too! It gives us bad memories from his harsh ways of training to be ninja masters!" Sue finished.
"Well at least he's in good terms with Therizinosaurus. He's good enough to be called his child. The old man doesn't need any more of Dinosaur children to look after and care for." Dino said the good side of it.
Sue looks kind of sad when the 2 brothers look at her. "What's wrong, Sue? Are you okay?" Dano asked.
"Oh, well it's just my thought but... Brother Dino and Brother Dano... I was thinking. Watching Therizinosaurus accepting that old man as his 'father' and partner, do you think we'll too find a partner of our own?" Sue wondered when she thought of what Therizinosaurus had seen in him.
"Sue...? Do you mean to say, being with a human partner of our own and have strong connections with?" Dino said and Sue nod.
"I don't know about that. Besides who would want to be with a dinosaur being ferocious and have terrible claws in our names. Not to mention, being a Secret Element." Dano said.
"But, from what I've heard from Therizinosaurus, he said that he'd seen many people and dinosaurs were partners and they love each other a lot different from how the old man treated us. Hearing that gave me thoughts about how will it feels to be with a human who loves and accepts us." Sue said confidently.
"Umm..." Dino and Dano didn't know what to say. It's the first time their sister talk about something about this. Just as they were about to answer, their stomach starts to growl.
Growl~
"I'm hungry!" Dano said rubbing his stomach.
"Me too. But I don't feel like asking for humans to give us any food." Dino said.
"I agree. Isn't there anything to eat around here?" Sue said looking around for anything to eat. Hearing her stomach growling again, feeling weak to move, she then saw a tree that Dr. Ancient planted. "Hey, that tree has fruits in it!"
Dino and Dano saw the tree with fruits on it. However. "Um, Sue, we're carnivores. Meaning we eat meat not veggie." Dano reminded as Dino nod.
"But I'm so hungry. I can't feel my body. What choice do we have? We're all by ourselves now and besides that fruit looks so yummy." Sue started to drool as she quickly dash out to pluck 1 and eat it.
BITE
"Sue!?" Dino and Dano became shock.
"Hmm?! It's so juicy and delicious! Brothers, you've got to try it! It's really good!" Sue smiled dreamingly as she ate.
"Eh? Really?" Hearing she said it's good, the 2 too gave a try.
BITE
"Mmmm...! She's right! This does taste good. I could feel my body been re-energize.
Little did they know, the fruit that the 3 ate was a fruit of eternal youth and life. As time went on, the 2 brother Deinonychus were still in thought about what their sister had said about being with a human partner where they could accept and share many things together. Looks like the fruit gave them their wish as years went on.
(DEINONYCHUS TRIO'S FLASHBACK END)
"I still can't believe the fruit we ate from that tree gave us that effect. But I'm grateful for it." Dino said.
"Me too. If we never had ate it, we never would have met Maia. She accepted us and became our first human friend." Dano agree.
"Well, I'm glad we did. Come on you 2, let's continue watching over Maia with all we've got." The trio continue on their mission.

Continue on to the fourth time treasure, this time is the Chubi region of Japan in the year 1572. It featured a Japanese house where Tokugawa lived surrounded by the forest trees. The treasure of that time was a silver snake sword that was discovered inside of an 8 headed dragon, Orochi.
Fifth was the Desert of Ancient Persia in the year of 757. They show a diorama of a desert and a village similar to Aladdin's story. Similar to the Caribbean Sea, the treasure was some gold jewel hidden in a secret cave by the 39 thieves.
Sixth was Paris, France in the year 1615. It show a French castle with some royal people in it. Unlike the other 5, they displayed 3 blue musketeer tunics, feather hats and swords.
Finally the seventh was in the stone age in 10000 B.C. It featured a historic time of humans using old tools and a volcano. Unlike the 6th, it show a skeleton of a Mammoth fossil like the dinosaur fossils from the floor below.
After they had a wonderful time at the museum, they hadn't realized that it's almost sunset when they exit the building. "Wow, the day's almost over." Lunensis said looking at the setting sun.
"Well as they say, time flies when having fun. I enjoyed my time with you. Thank you very much, Lunensis." Maia's smile making him blush.
"You're welcome. I enjoyed it too." Lunensis shyly smiled. "Oh would you like me to company you back home?"
"Yes, please. I would like that." Maia hold Lunensis hand surprising him and as they walk, the Deinonychus trio continued following them.
(AT MAIA'S APARTMENT)
"Thanks very much for walking me back home." Maia thanked Lunensis.
"You're welcome, Maia. I'm always honored to walk you home, everyday if you like." Lunensis said. "Well then, see you again."
Before he walk away, Maia hold his arm, stopping him. "Please wait a minute."
"Huh? W-what is it? Is something wrong?"
"Here." Maia took out the handmade handkerchief from her handbag and show it to him. "I made this to say thank you for that time. I like for you to have it."
"Oh?! Um..." Lunensis felt nervous.
"Y-You don't like it...?" Maia softly said when she thought of the feeling he doesn't want it.
"Oh no, it's not that. It's just my first time anyone has given me something. Thanks, I'll treasure it." Lunensis take the handkerchief and smiled seeing its very well made with his name on it.
After that, they said their goodbyes to each other and promise to hang out again.
Before Maia enter her apartment..." Dino... Dano... Sue... ~ I know you guys are there. You don't have to hide anymore." Maia smirk.
A ruffling sound came from a nearby tree as the chibi Deinonychus trio came out of hiding and landed in front of Maia looking kind of awkward.
"Haha... Looks like we've got caught." Dino said.
"How'd you know that we're here?" Sue asked feeling confident that their stealth was good enough.
"Oh you 3... I knew you guys were there during the time at the café. I heard your roars." Maia smile and stroke softly at them.
"Oops." The trio said.
"Anyway, let's go inside. I'll cook a delicious meal for all of us. You must be very hungry, right?" Maia stand up as she open the door.
"Yay! Let's go eat!" The chibi trio excitedly went inside followed by Maia as they wait for their meal.

Meanwhile at Lunensis bedroom, he summon Erwin to tell him everything he did alone with Maia on their reunion day. He even show his Dino the handkerchief she made.
"Erwin, this is the first time someone ever gave me a gift other than my grandparents and Don. I'm so happy." Lunensis said holding the handkerchief close to his heart as Erwin bark happy for his partner.
"Maia... You really are special to me than any other girls. I've decided. I'm going to tell you how I really feel about you." Lunensis decided as he stood proudly.
"The problem is how..."

Thanks. As for the fight part, I'm not a big fan of violence so this was the best I could come up with. I don't think I could think of a dinosaurs those thugs could use so I decided not to add it.
Lunensis first tournament will be soon, so please be patient.
Like you asked about the museum, here you have it! I think it goes perfect for their reunion hang out!
By the way, are you going to add Erwin Eoraptor's name into your story?
