I'm sorry for the late update, but I started school, and have not been able to write that often. But now, because of school, I have to update every week for a project. So, on to the reviews!

Tabitha6000: Yeah, I liked that part too.

Ninja of Night: I tried! But anyway, I'll be updating much more frequently. At least for five weeks.

Chapter Three: No, I Will Not Skip Ahead Two Years … Yet

As we descended from the mountain, I was happy about obtaining another Vivosaur. Bob, on the other hand? Not so much.

"Still griping over my new Vivosaur?" I teased.

"Oh, shut it."

"Not my fault you didn't defeat the Cerato you had a type advantage over and let it escape."

"Seriously, I'm about to s-"

At this moment, a blur of green rammed straight into Bob, knocking him to the ground.

"Todd! Couldn't you at least wait for me if you're going to drag me somewhere else after we almost got eaten earlier!" A female voice shouted. I shuddered, my heart stopping. It was Dina. Oh my god it's Dina.

"Hey! Watch where you're going next ti- oh, hey Todd."

My life is over. I am so dead.

"Geez Todd, how can you still have enough energy to run that fast after what happened this morning?"

I had to go up on that mountain. My life is over. I Derrick Arashi, hereby will my Elasmo to-

"You can stop mentally freaking out, Derrick." Dina stated. "I'm not going to kill you. Him maybe, but not you."

I audibly sighed in relief as I relaxed. I noticed Bob glaring at me, and I shrugged as if to say "Hey, it's not my problem anymore."

"So Bob, a little birdie told me that you knew about some Vivosaurs on that mountain." She pointed in the direction we had just come from. She then addressed me. "And you knew nothing about this, right?"

I quickly nodded before replying. "Yes. I almost got eaten three times today. If I had known that might have happened, do you really think I would have headed up there?"

"I thought so."

"Hey wait a minute… … … how do you know that we were even on that mountain?"

"… I decline to answer, pursuant to my 5th Amendment right …"

"This isn't a court Dina."

"Fine. I saw you through the bushes, you and your orange jacket and all," she sighed.

"Was that so hard?"

"Shut up before I change my mind."

"Sorry!"

"As for you…" Dina said menacingly, turning to Bob, "You are gonna have some problems."

I tilted my head left, looking at Todd, and he nodded. We ran out of there as fast as we could.

I was panting by the time I reached my house. I had split from Todd earlier, when he had to make a left, and I a right. Sitting on my front doorstep, I contemplated the day's events. I had almost gotten eaten by three different Vivosaurs, had to run for my life three different times, I had met a world-renowned Fossil Fighter, and I had a new Vivosaur. I pulled out both my Dino Medals. I set Elasmo aside, and studied Carno. It had various blue bumps on its body and tail, which matched the color of its underbelly. Two large, black horns sat on the grey Vivosaur's head. I moved my operation to my backyard, where I tossed the medal in the air. The Carno roared as it appeared, then looked around strangely. When it saw me, it backed up and glared.

"Whoa, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." My tone was calm, but the Carno was still wary and didn't back down. "It's okay; I'm your fighter now, okay?" At the word "fighter", Carno roared and… curled up into a ball on the floor. I slowly removed myself from my defensive position. There was only one thing I could think of to say.

"If that thing starts rolling after me, I'm suing LucasArts."

Regardless to say, the sheer randomness of the comment, whether it was understood or not, was enough to make Carno poke its head out of the sphere. I slowly walked over to it, and it returned back into its previous state. I sighed, and then changed it back into a medal.

"Great, now I have to deal with an emotionally disturbed Carno. I can add that to my list of things that have to be taken care of."

"DERRICK!"

"And one more." I leaped up and scuried to the edge of the fence. Leaving through the side entrance, I grabbed Elasmo from the table on my way out, then darted off down the street. I hid behind a tree, and listened to Bob raging down the street. I overheard a quick conversation between my mother and him, and he left. Stepping down the stairs, he soon turned the corner, and headed in the general direction of his house. I sighed, and then sent out Carno again. It looked at me strangely.

"What?" Carno's only reply was to keep up its gaze. I tried to match it, but my eye started stinging, and I had to blink. "I really hate staring contests." I grumbled. Carno just smiled. "Just go back into a medal." Carno promptly disappeared and fell to the grass.

"Does that count as progress?" I asked myself. "Probably not." I retrieved the medal and strode off down the street.

I went back to my house, and got onto my laptop. Immediately, the computer resumed to an online web form that I was filling out before I had gotten a phone call this morning. I started to check some boxes, when my mom came into my room.

"Have an interesting day today?"

"You could say that," I replied, still typing.

"So is that why Bob was ready to kill you?"

"No, that was a completely different incident."

"Uh-huh. Is that all?"

"Yes, mom."

"Alright. Finish whatever you're doing, then go to bed."

"Okay."

"I mean it."

"I will."

"Alright," she said, then walked away.

A few minutes later, I had filled out the last entry in the form, submitted it, and shut the laptop. Putting my Dino Medals next to the computer, I hopped into bed, and shut off the light. My last thoughts bfore I fell asleep were "How much could I get for a boulder rolling after me?"

So, how was it? Please review. Reader input always helps!
