Cera and Miku C.M Pt 2: Over The Rainbow!
RING~
The bell rings of Cera's school means it's lunch time! Cera's taking her lunchbox from under her desk.
"Cera, let's eat lunch together." Cera's friend, Dorothy said with her own lunchbox in her hands.
"Sure, Dorothy!" Cera smile as they head for the school garden to eat.
In the school garden, the girls set up a picnic blanket on the grass by a tree as shade. The girls each open their lunchbox.
"Hey, your lunch looks pretty and cute!" Dorothy look at Cera's lunch.
Cera's lunch has rice omelet, apples cut in sakura flowers and veggies consist of broccoli, flower-shape carrots and mushrooms.
"Haha, thank you! Your lunch looks good too!" Cera said.
Dorothy's lunch has fried rice, fried fish, rolled egg omulet and octopus weiners.
"Say, looking more closely, your lunch looks like a forest." Dorothy said.
"Really? Well yours reminds me of the oceon!" Cera said.
"Wow, I never even knew! Haha, our Moms has caught the image of our home perfectly well." The girls giggle at the thought.
"Oh that reminds me! Dorothy, your family owns a seafood restaurant by the beach, doesn't it?" Cera said.
"Yeah, that's right. My parents works in a seafood restaurant and business is going great. Especially with Lion's help." Dorothy smile.
"Speaking of Lion. How's he doing as your partner?" Cera asked.
Lion is the name of Dorothy's Baryonyx. Dorothy had her parents' permission to adopt a Dinosaur partner of her own. Cera with her mother's help who works in the Rainbow Dinosaur Incubator, they helped Dorothy choose a partner and Lion Baryonyx was the dinosaur Dorothy chose.
Lion was an only Water Element dinosaur left. He was given the name "Lion" not only because of his color exactly like the king of animals, the lion, his personality is strong and loyal as well.
Dorothy and Lion have a lot of common things with each other. When she saw how fast and swift Lion's swimming was and how he caught a lot of fish, Dorothy once challenged him to a fishing competition. The result ended a draw but they had a lot of fun and they became partners. After Dorothy adopt Lion, he helped Dorothy catch fish and other sea creatures for her parents' restaurant. Their teamwork made Dorothy's parents really proud of them.
"Yeah, he's doing wonderful. Oh that's right, you haven't try any of our family's seafood yet, right? If you're not too busy, how about you come and try it? Of course it'll be my family's treat!" Dorothy ask.
"Eh, really?! I loved to! I'll ask my parents when I get home. Oh, is it alright if I bring Miku and the others to come along?"
"Of course!" Dorothy nod.
The girls' conversation end in happy moments and so, the school ends for the day. Cera was sent back home with Sue and Miku picking her up while Dorothy walked home with her father.
At Dorothy's place, Dorothy asked her parents if her best friend and her family would come to eat. Of course her parents were honored to serve their daughter's family. Not to mention, Dorothy's father was a fan of Cera's father who's the champion while her mother and Cera's mother were acquaintces.
(MEANWHILE)
Cera just finished her homework and she's doing her every day routine taking care of Miku and helping her mother with the chores.
While they're making dinner, Lunensis was watching TV with Erwin napping on his lap.
"On to our next weather report, there will be a heavy rainstorm coming up. So, everyone please stay indoors and make sure to lock the doors and windows." A weather woman on TV said.
"Looks like a storm's coming up." Lunensis said in worry and Erwin yawn.
(A MOMENT LATER)
As the weather predicted, a heavy rainstorm come. The rain was so strong, the trees were blowing hard as some big dinosaurs were struggling to endure while other dinosaurs take shelter from their human partner's home or find a nearby shelter. While at the beach where some water dinosaurs were, at least there's some who dive underwater for safety.
However the next day after the storm is over...
"AHHH! What's going on here?!" Dorothy shout in horror.
The beach is covered in trash and the sea had some too.
"Oh, Lion! Lion! Are you out there? Answer me!" Dorothy call out to her dino partner.
ROAR
An orange Baryonyx flop out of the water, hearing his partner's call as he breath hard from exhaustion.
"Lion!" Dorothy run towards him. "Are you alright?" She gently stroke Lion's snout.
Lion roar out in sadness. He looks like he's about to cry too. Dorothy sensed his emotions, she knew he felt that way because of the situation they're in. Dorothy look all over the beach and sea covered with trash because of the storm. With the things as it is, looks like Lion won't be fishing for a while and Dorothy's parents business would temporary close until the problem's been settled.
"What should I do? With things as it is, looks like we won't be able to fish anything for a while." Dorothy disappointly said and Lion roar in disappointment too. "Also, I won't be able to spend some time with you too, Lion. I have to help my parents clean up the beach and look after the shop."
Suddenly Dorothy had an idea! "Lion, how would you like to spend some time off together with my best friend, Cera and her Microraptor, Miku?" I'm sure you'll be happy to at least take a break from working. I'll bet if everything'll work out fast, I can invite her and her family to repay them."
Hearing the name Cera, his eyes sparkle and he nod as he splash some water with his tail, showing his happy behavior mood.
"I knew you'd like to. I'll give Cera a call." Settled, Dorothy took out her aqua Dinoshot and began to call Cera.

Meanwhile at Cera's home, she was looking out the window with Miku as she breath in the fresh air. "Sigh, that was some strong storm. But a storm always shows the good side after it, right Miku?" Cera smile looking at her partner stretch her wings and she nod.
BEEP BEEP
"You have mail." Miku said as she glide to Cera's Dinoshot on the table.
Cera grab her white Dinoshot and answer it. "Oh, it's from Dorothy! Let's see."
The Dinoshot reveal a message screen as Cera read it.
[Cera,
I have a favor to ask. My parents and I will be busy cleaning up the beach where our restaurant is because of the storm. I was wondering if you're not busy, maybe you could look after Lion for me for a day until the cleaning's done.
Meet me at the Dino Playpark and I'll let Lion off to you.
Dorothy.]
"Oh dear, poor Dorothy." Cera said. "Come Miku, let's go and help her." Cera hold Miku and carry her on her shoulders.
XXX
After Cera ask her parents about the mail she got from her friend, she got their permission to look after Dorothy's Lion for a day until she's ready to get him back.
Maia even prepared a picnic basket just in case they're hungry while Lunensis gave Cera encouragement to do her best even if anything bad happens.
"Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy! I'll do my best and make sure to come back before dark!" Cera and Miku wave goodbye to them as they head for the meeting place.
After Cera's out of sight, her parents smile feeling proud their daughter's growing up and starts to do a responsibility for herself and others.
(AT THE MEETING PLACE IN DINO PLAYPARK)
Dorothy and Lion in chibi form were waiting patiently by a fountain. Cera and Miku had just make it in time to meet up.
"Dorothy! Lion!"
"Ah, Cera! Miku! You made it!"
The girls happy to see each other they gave a friendly hug. Lion and Miku made eye contact as they greet each other.
"Sorry to make you do this, Cera." Dorothy apologize a bit.
"Mm... It's fine. I'm not busy today anyway. Hello again Lion! It's been a while!" Cera smile then look at the chibi Baryonyx.
"Hi Cera to you too!" Lion bark.
"Well, now that you're here. I have to get back to cleaning. Cera, take care of Lion for me, alright. If everything works out early, I'll come back for him." Dorothy said entrusting her best friend to look after Lion.
"Don't worry, Dorothy. I'll take good care of Lion for you until then. My Mommy even made a picnic for us too." Cera show her the picnic basket.
"I knew I can count on you! Well then, see you later!" Dorothy send her farewell and back to her work she go.
"There she goes. Well Lion, looks like it's just you and us for the time being." Cera's smile made Lion blush as he smile and wagging his tail.
Together with Lion in Cera and Miku's care, the 3 set off and enjoying the rest of the day while his partner's went to do some cleaning the beach with her parents.
While they're walking, Lion ask Cera to take him somewhere where he could swim. He missed swimming in the sea at his partner's beach. However since their beach was the only one that's dirty from the storm, Cera recommend another beach where it wasn't dirty. The other beach was small unlike at Dorothy's but it's perfect for Lion to swim.
"Yay! I love swimming! Weee!" Lion happily swam energeticly as Cera and Miku sat on a big rock watching.
"Haha! Look how fast Lion swims!" Cera giggle as Miku nod feeling happy to see her partner smile while looking impressively at the Baryonyx's swimming.
"Cera! Miku! Come play with me!" Lion call out.
"It's alright, Lion. Besides I don't have a swimsuit with me!" Cera said.
"How about you, Miku?" Lion ask.
"No thanks, I'll pass. My feathers will get soak." Miku decline.
"Oh, OK. I'll just swim by myself!" Lion continues to swim.
Suddenly, while Lion was swimming, he bump on to something.
"Ow! Hey watch where you're swimming?" The thing Lion bump on to was reveal to be a Suchomimus.
"Sorry. Eh... S-Smith? Is that you?" Lion widen his eyes to see a familiar face.
"Well it it isn't Lion! My cousin! How are you? And what are you doing here?"
(MEANWHILE)
Marina was finished doing some modeling for a swimsuit collection and right now she's walking along the beach to look for Smith when something caught her eye. She sees a little girl sitting alone on a rock looking out to the sea.
"Hey, she looks familiar. Oh!" Marina sees a resemblance and Maia instantly came in mind.
Marina decided to go and have a chat with the red hair little girl.
"Excuse me, young lady." Marina said.
Cera turn her head and she sees a pretty woman with black blog hair and ocean blue eyes. Miku however in defense, she snarl while spreading her wings protectively.
"Miku! Please, don't. Um... Hello, may I help you with something." Cera calm Miku down and politely reply to the woman.
"Hehe. Oh please forgive me. I was wondering, if you seen a chibi Suchomimus anywhere? His name's Smith." Marina said after she giggle at the Microraptor's protective behavior.
"A Suchomimus?" Just as Cera about to continue, she hear 2 different roars coming towards her.
"Cera! Miku! Look who I found!" Lion came running out to shore and quickly show his friend, someone familiar of him.
It's reveal to be a Suchomimus!
"Gasp! Smith! There you are!" Marina exclaim.
Smith seeing Marina, he jump into her embrace. Cera, Miku and Lion were in surprise.
"Smith?" Lion said.
Then the chibi Suchomimus release from the embrace, walk up to Lion and roar in conversation.
"Oh? Could you be... Lion?" Marina crouch to the chibi Baryonyx.
"Miss, do you know Lion?" Cera asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Lion is Dorothy's partner." Marina stated which made Cera in shock.
"You mean, Dorothy Yumeiro?" Cera ask specifically.
"Yes, my name is Marina Ametama. Sorry for the late introduction. Dorothy Yumeiro is actually my cousin." Marina said.
"Ehhh?! C-cousin?!"
Marina and Cera have a long conversation about Dorothy after Cera told Marina her name and the fact that she's Lunensis and Maia's daughter which Marina were acquainted with while the chibi dinosaurs play. It's revealed that the famous idol, Marina Ametama has a cousin named Dorothy from her Paternal Aunt, her father's older sister side. Despite the age gap being big, Marina and Dorothy got along during Marina's younger days when Dorothy was a newborn until she turn 3 years old. Marina sometimes went to Dorothy's parent's restaurant for a private lunch time when not at work.
Cera heard from Dorothy that her older cousin was a famous idol superstar and she admires her like an older sister. However she never talk much about her much because of her busy schedule also how Marina's super famous and popular she was which sometimes caused to be bothersome to ask Dorothy for Marina's autograph or some limited items.
"That's why, please keep it a secret of our meeting today. But at least tell your parents and my cousin about me privately, okay?" Marina wink.
"OK! I promise." Cera nod.
"Well I have to go back to work now. It's fun meeting you, Cera. I'm glad Dorothy made a good friend like you." Marina smile as she call Smith back and went off to continue her work.
"Wow. I never would have expect to meet Dorothy's cousin like this. She's so pretty. I can't wait to tell my parents and Dorothy about it."
(MEANWHILE)
At Dino Village, a Megalosaurus was sighing in boredom when the Deinonychus trio came by to visit.
"Hey, Megalo!" Dino said.
"What's with the long face?" Dano follow.
"Just when we've come to visit you." Sue finish.
"Oh, it's just you 3. I was kinda expecting Cera to come instead." The Megalosaurus named Megalo said disappointingly.
"Too bad we're not her."
"Hehe. Megalo, you really like Cera, don't you?"
"Reminds of ourselves with Maia."
Megalo just nod. The Deinonychus trio has seen a lot of change in Megalo ever since she came to Dino Village to play that one time.
Everyone all know that Megalo was the most violent and uncontrollable out of all Secret Dinosaurs. His violent behavior made all dinosaurs afraid of him except for Gaffer Miku and Cryolophosaurus named Crystal (which Cera gave).
However when Cera came into his life, she knew that Megalo was just too tough to control because of his strength when playing and his reason for his violent behavior was because he's bored. Cera realized that and she took her first step to befriend him. The first thing she did was to play with him in chibi form. This way he would avoid hurting her. Cera helped Megalo to use his special telekinesis powers as a tool to slowly control his toughness. With Cera's gentle training, Megalo finally learn to control his toughness. Because of that, Megalo has taken a liking to her for realizing the reason of his violent behavior and personality even in his adult form.
"But with Cera not around, he gets so grumpy."
"So true.
"Mmhmmm.
Megalo once again yawn. Suddenly the Deinonychus trio remembered something that'll help Megalosaurus perk up.
"Say, Megalo..."
"We were wondering if you like..."
"How would you like to come visit Cera at her home?"
Hearing that, Megalo did perk up and he starts to sit up! "Really?! You mean it?!"
"Yeah!" The 3 nod.
"Oh thank you very much! I would definitely love that!" Megalo happily said his thanks.
Because of his excitement, he activates his telekinesis ability as he levitate nearby boulders and rocks then throw them into the sky causing them to collide which to some views, made little remainings of the boulders and rocks act as meteor showers.

The day almost's over as Dorothy finished the job and it's time to pick up Lion in Cera's care.
Cera and the dinos' were having a picnic at the Playpark where Dorothy would come for Lion. Cera ate the sandwiches while Miku ate hams from the sandwiches and Lion ate the fish ones. After eating, the 3 drank water from a bottle.
"Ahh~ Delicious!"
"Cera! Lion!" Cera hear Dorothy's voice.
"Ah, Dorothy! Look Lion, Dorothy's here!" Cera exclaim.
ROAR
Dorothy reach them and happy to see them all happy together. "Lion, I see you're having a good time with them."
Lion nod as he jump on his partner's arms and nuzzle her.
"Thank you for looking after Lion for me, Cera and Miku!" Dorothy thanked.
"You're welcome!"
Before Dorothy and Lion head home, she decided to talk with Cera a bit about all the things they did together with Lion. Dorothy was surprised her best friend met her older cousin during the time at the beach. Of course Cera kept Marina's secret of her meeting her from anyone other than Dorothy and her parents.
As thanks for keeping Lion company, Dorothy's parents earlier made their special food from their restaurant for Cera, her parents and of course to their dinosaurs.
"Once again, thank you very much for looking after Lion for me. I hope you and everyone enjoy my family's seafood dishes. Well then, see you again." Dorothy give her final thanks to Cera as she and Lion head back home.
"You too, Dorothy! Goodbye Lion! I had a great time with you!" Cera and Miku wave goodbye.

At Cera's home, Cera told her happy times she spent looking after her best friend's dinosaur partner and of course about her first encounter with Marina. If Cera's parents encounter Marina again, Lunensis and Maia would give their thanks to her. Finally, Cera show her parents the gifts Dorothy gave her.
In the dining room, the O' Sauria family each open a box and open them. To their amaze, there's seafood fried rice, fried oysters, fishes and veggies too in different kinds.
"How nice of her to give us this." Maia said.
"Yeah, let me Summon out the others to join in too." Lunensis Summon out the other 6 dinosaurs in chibi form.
"Oh wait a moment, let me get something first." Maia suddenly remembered something as she run off in the kitchen to get it.
Later, Maia came back with a jar in her hands.
"What's that, Mommy?" Cera ask.
"It's called 'Rainbow sauce'. I made it myself." Maia giggle.
"Rainbow sauce?" The others have question marks floating on their heads.
"Hehe. Here, I spread it on the fried oysters." Maia open the jar and use a knife to spread the sause on the fried oysters.
The sauce's color just like the name says. It does have the colors of the rainbow.
"Wow, the sauce does look like a rainbow!" Cera and Lunensis eye sparkles.
"Please give it a try."
"Hmm, usually fried oysters goes with Worcestershire or Tartar sauce. But I'll try anything my wife make!" Lunensis said.
"I'll try it too!" Cera pick up a fork and using the knife, she cut it as the father and daughter take a bite.
"IT'S DELICIOUS!!!" X2
"It's a sauce in a whole different league from Worcestershire sause and Tartar sause! It draws out from the piping hot oysters and crisp breading their peak of appeal, making them so rich and delightful!" Lunensis shockingly said expressing the flavor in his mouth then his face turn bliss. "Ahh, such a sweet-and-sour piquancy... This is its true flavor, isn't it!"
"Mommy, it's so delicious! How did you make it so good! I'm so happy!" Cera too in bliss said.
"Honey, what's the secret in it. Please tell me." Lunensis ask.
"Hehe... Sorry dear, that is a se-cr-et." Maia wink playfully.
"Aww~" Lunensis sigh feeling left out.
"Anyways let's all enjoy the seafood, shall we?" Maia cheer up her husband and he instantly became happy again.
"Yeah, come on everyone! Let's eat!"
With that, the family and dinosaurs all enjoy the food made by Cera's best friend's successful seafood restaurant

Here's part 2! Just like the name title of the chapter, Dorothy and Lion are both characters from the story "The Wizard of Oz", isn't it fun! That's why I think Lion would be perfect for Dorothy and not to mention she's the cousin of Marina, the Water Captain.
I put a cameo show about Megalo Megalosaurus. He and the other Secret Dinosaurs will have more role later.
As for the Rainbow sauce, you can check out from the anime, Onegai My Melody Kuru Kuru Shuffle Episode 33.

HunterHQ,
Thanks and sorry for some spelling mistakes. I was in a hurry. I'll try to be more careful.
Yeah, since Hua and Hana are sisters and each has a Corythosaurus, I figured where did Chisotao come and how he became Hua's other partner. As for Craig about the using dinosaur part, he did use it to fight off the Gigonotosaurus from before but he wouldn't use them for climbing purposes.
Well let's just say, Hua loves nature like the Grass Element, she took other jobs and become a Scout Leader for girls. After all, there's no rule anybody could take only 1 job. It's everyone and anyone's dream and desire.
