I'm back, after taking like a day to relax and give my mind a break! Please enjoy this new installment of the story! Review!
Jack could feel the humidity on his skin as he opened his eyes slowly to light streaming into the tree. He looked up and began to move when he realized Hiccup was nestled against him, sleeping peacefully. He leaned back and smiled to himself, reaching his hand up and hesitating before finally drawing his fingers through Hiccup's wild and thick brown hair. He let a small smile crease his lips as he blushed lightly, before Astrid's scream erupted and gave everyone a start.
"Astrid, calm down! It's just a herbivore!" Benny said, a grimace on his face as he stretched against the hard bark of the tree.
Jack looked over and saw the huge plant eater moving his head forward against the tree, grabbing onto a branch of leaves and tearing it away as it fed. Jack felt Hiccup reached forward, clearly awake now as he tried to pet the dinosaur. He smiled to himself as he watched Dr. Weir break a branch away and stick it out for the foraging animal to eat. It leaned forward once more with it's massively long neck and started to bite onto the branch. Jack positioned himself so he could run his hands down the things snout as it ate, Astrid staying back in fear before finally attempting to pet it, only for the dinosaur to draw back.
"Get another branch!" Astrid hollered out, Benny rolling his eyes as he tore another branch off and got the herbivore to come closer to the tree.
"It's like a big cow," Astrid said as she smiled to herself, petting the dinosaurs nose as it purred gently. Suddenly it snapped it's head back, sneezing and throwing snot all over Astrid who just knelled there in shock. Jack couldn't help the fit of giggles that erupted from his body as he leaned back against the tree and laughed alongside Hiccup.
"God bless you!" Hiccup yelled out, only for Astrid to slowly turn her head to look at him and glare. Jack looked over at Benny who was also laughing hard as the mucus dripped from Astrid's face and clothes.
Ethan's POV – Third Person
Ethan stood there in the infirmary as John Hammond and Ellie attended to Ian's wounds. He couldn't do anything but sit down and sigh to himself as Ian berated Hammond for his stupidity at playing God.
"All theme parks have issues! This is just one of them!" Hammond said, clearly agitated with him.
"John, when the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates down eat the tourists!" Ian retorted, looking up as the game warden walked in.
"It's been too long, Ray should be back by now," the warden said as he paced back and forth, his shotgun slung over his back.
"Well, Ray did say it would take a bit to get the system back online," Hammond said, walking around with the assistance of his amber tipped cane.
"No he's right. I'm going to go check on him," Ellie said, grabbing a portable walkie-talkie.
"Well it really should be me uh going," Hammond said, causing Ellie to stop as Ethan looked up at the two.
"Why?" Ellie said as John Hammond began to stutter and stammer as he tried to work for his words.
"Because I'm a uh, and your a uh," Hammond stuttered, Ethan looking to Ellie as she just gave him a small glare.
"Look, we can talk sexism in disaster situations when I get back," Ellie said, the game warden joining her as they walked out of the building and into the jungle.
