White Lies
Disclaimer: I do not own PRDT. I never have, and never will. The events in the story are based on "The Missing Bone", whatever happens after that may or may not be parallel to the actual storyline.
Author's Note: The story will be mostly Conner/Kira/Trent and will be written as a compilation of POVs.
Kira
The moment I stepped into Dr. Oliver's house, I had not anticipated his reaction to the big news.
"That's great!" Dr. Oliver's voice pipes out from his helmet and slams into my brain.
"You're kidding, right?"
Dr. O replies defensively, "No. I know you think Anton's a little strange-"
"Ya. And Justin Timberlake's a little cute," I add, rolling my eyes.
Dr. O's shoulders sag a little. "Alright. He's a lot strange, but he's brilliant. He taught me a lot of what I know. He'll be great."
I force a tiny smile and give in. "If you say so."
"He really is an amazing person, once you get to know him."
I really hope Dr O's right. My mind wanders off a little but I turn my attention back to the bone in my hand. I turn the bone around to take a closer look at its label. As I feel its rough protusions and indentations, something tugs at my mind.
"Hey, where does this go?"
"Oh, you'd better give me that," Dr. O says, immediately retrieving it from my grasp.
"What is it?"
"Just a bone." Obviously.
"Ya, but why is it so important?"
"It needs to be kept safely in my hands. Let's just put it away," Dr. O shrugs off the question with a vague reply before hurriedly placing it into a case and locking it.
"Whatever you say." Something was off. If that bone turns out to be a special dino morpher, Conner will be pissed that Dr. O hid a potential power-up from him.
"Alright. Come along, now. We don't want to keep our prehistoric friends waiting," Mercer chirps. No matter how hard he tries, mixing Mercer and jokes only result in awkward moments.
I drag my feet to the entrance of the dinosaur museum. I suspect Mercer's got something up his sleeve. After all, it is his museum. Anyhow, a field trip still beats dreary periods in school getting hit by paper planes. As I trudge past the giant life-like dinosaur greeting us at the entrance, my eyes won't leave that lizard. It keeps staring at me, no matter the angle.
"What's the matter?" Conner asks.
"That thing just gives me a creepy vibe. It's like it moved."
Conner and Ethan turn their heads and glance at the giant figurine.
"You know dinosaurs are extinct, right?" Ethan adds, raising an eyebrow.
I tilt my head slightly and give a dull stare in reply. We pilot dinozords at least once a week and you're telling me this?
"Ohhkay... I see your point," Ethan says, casting me a weird sideway glance before heading into the museum, Conner following suit.
I give the dinosaur a final warning glare before heading in, wishing I was as laidback as Conner and Ethan.
