Tristan and his friends were walking toward the staff housing. It was getting late and they'd exhausted themselves rescuing giant birds and chaolicotheres, so a good night's rest was in order.

As was a lot of talking.

"Alright, spill, now," remarked a rather aggressive sounding Alice.

"What?" asked a confused Tristan.

"You never told us about this place. You didn't even tell your siblings about it. Why?"

Tristan seemed to calm down at that remark.

"Well, until last week, I didn't know that it existed."

"...Seriously?"

"Yeah. I only found out about it because my dad sent me here. He thought I'd enjoy it. I think he was correct."

"Ok, I believe you there. So, what can you tell us about the park."

"Well, so far, they've done eight rescue missions, this one included. Some of the animals are stowaways from the specials Nigel's done for Impossible Pictures. The main missions were to rescue Tyrannosaurus, Mammuthus primigenius, Microraptor, Smilodon populator, a bunch of bugs from the Carboniferous, Deinosuchus, and Bistahieversor and Pentaceratops. I joined with tem for the last one."

"All the big names, then."

"Yep."

"Why'd dad send you here first?" asked Violet.

"I'm guessing because I'm the oldest."

"True.."

"When did they make the time portal?"

"About 16 years ago. They needed a lot of testing, though, which is why they didn't get the park set up earlier."

"Anyone else you planning to bring here?"

"Aside from Elise and Sean? No."

"Oh, and before you guys ask anymore questions, we're here."

The group stopped talking and turned to see what was in front of them.

What they saw left them absolutely speechless.

Before them was an utterly colossal structure built into some kind of tree. it resembled a normal tree house, but was several times bigger, on a tree that put even a baobab to shame. Several birds were roosting on the branches of the great tree, while bird of paradise plants emerged from gardens near the windows.

"Welcome home."

Inside, the structures offers more surprises still. Within are rooms for well over a dozen people: a dining room, kitchen, at least four bathrooms, many bedrooms, a game room, a fitness room, and so many more.

"Why is this place so...so...so big?" asks an utterly astounded Tai.

"There's plans to eventually use the park for teaching, so the guys funding it paid for a bunch of nifty dorms, cabins and other stuff. This one is meant as a sort of luxury room for those people if they ever wanted to throw a party. I don't think they'll mind us using it."

"So, right now, I'd suggest you guys get settled in. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."

The group quickly obliges.

An hour or so later, the group is on the roof of their new home, watching the star filled sky. Unlike the skyline of the city, this one is filled to the brim with stars, present an unimaginably beautiful sight.

"So, this is where we'll be living for a while, isn't it?" asks Vera.

"Yeah, it is."

"I think we're gonna like it here."

"Indeed."

A shooting star passes by, travelling to parts unknown. The mystical sight surprises the group, but it soon fades into blissful silence. This might not be what they had in mind for their summer, but it is certainly going to be an adventure.

AN: Well, hello!

Now, I've wanted to do this story for awhile, just like with Inside their World. This time, though, we'll be focusing on our human cast and what they do off camera. So feel free to sit back, relax, and listen to
