This story is getting better by the minute! I'm sorry if the story is to long, but I have a lot of ideas to place in this plot. Anyway, enjoy chapter 5!
Ian was asleep in his pen when something suddenly filled the air. A wonderful smell of cinnamon apples . Ian leapt over then pen and stuck his head in the window. Claire was making apple pie for Maisie and Owen.
"Ian, what are you doing you silly dinosaur?" Claire asked as she scratched Ian under the chin.
"I'll tell you what, I'll make you a large steak if you help me make Owen eat this piece of lettuce,"
Ian looked at the lettuce. Owen would rather have his nails painted than eat lettuce.
"Owen said I didn't know how to have fun, so I decided that we can prove him wrong," Claire explained.
"Ian then pointed at the blue cloth on the counter.
"Yes, Blue can help us you lovesick raptor,"
Ian glared at Claire.
"Anyone can tell you two were meant for each other. It's so obvious!" Claire exclaimed as Ian sighed with annoyance.
"Tell Blue she needs to distract Owen until we're ready ok?" Claire asked.
Ian nodded as he called Blue over and told her the plan. Blue than ran off to keep watch for Owen. Ian stuck his head back into the window
"Okay, so I need you to get me that knife to your left,"
Ian squeezed his hand in the window and handed the knife to Claire. She took the ball of lettuce and cut it into a square.
"Can you hand me that frosting please?"
Ian handed Claire the frosting as she spread the frosting out until not single bit of green was seen. She sprinkled some rainbow sprinkles out all over the "cake".
"I bought three actual cakes for us all to share earlier at the store," Claire said as Ian whimpered.
"I also called Owen and asked him to make us some steak," She added as Ian wagged his tail.
"However, you're going to share your steak with Blue," Claire stated as Ian sighed.
"You have to learn how to be a gentlem…gentleraptor to her," Claire explained, "It's never too early to start,"
Ian nodded reluctantly and ran back outside to play for a while.
Later…
Owen made a delicious steak that corrupted the air for miles. Claire, Owen, and Maisie ate inside while Ian and Blue ate outback.
"Hey, Blue," Ian asked, "You want…some…steak?"
"Sure," Blue replied as Ian split the steak for the two.
"Ian! Blue!" Maisie yelled, "You want cake?"
Ian and Blue knew what was coming a ran to the window.
"Because you let us keep Ian, I decided to make you a cake," Claire said.
"It must've worked out because you didn't burn down the house," Owen replied.
"Ha ha," Claire sarcastically laughed as she gave Owen the cake.
He took a large spoonful of the cake.
"Why is it so crunchy looking?" Owen asked.
"It's a new recipe," Claire replied.
"Is this cabbage?" Owen asked.
"It's not, I promise," Claire replied.
Owen put the bite in his mouth. His expression went into such shock he spat it out. The piece flew and hit poor Ian in the snout. Blue began to laugh and Ian took his claw and put some frosting on her nose.
"I said it wasn't cabbage," Claire explained, "The cake was lettuce,"
"Dang it, Claire!" Owen exclaimed as Maisie began to laugh.
Owen smiled sweetly at her and took some frosting and placed it on Claire's nose. A full cake war began, and it went on for a good five minutes.
As everyone was heading to bed, Claire went outside and went over to Ian.
"You're a good guy, you know," She said as she stroked Ian's snout.
"There was something in my heart that told me to keep you. I was worried that you may kill us in the middle of the night," Claire continued, "I hope you don't. You still have that instinct inside, but you have one thing that the original Indoraptor didn't,"
Ian looked at her with big, slightly sad eyes.
"You have control," Claire finished.
"Promise me, that no matter what, you will protect Maisie," Claire whispered.
Ian smiled and nodded as Claire kissed him lightly on the nose.
"Ian?" Claire called out as Ian turned around.
"I love you,"
Ian's heart melted faster than ice in lava. He went to sleep happy, and loved.
I wanted to give each character a bonding time with Ian. The next chapter will be out soon, but until then, stay tuned! Beast boy and the Indoraptor are Beast mode!
