Earlier that day...
Gerry Harding, the chief veterinarian of Jurassic Park was looking over a stream surrounded by jungle. At his side was his youngest daughter Jess.
"Yeah, it's a great view, but where are the dinosaurs!?" Jess asked.
"There should be Triceratops out there." Gerry said. "Sometimes they're kind of hard to spot..."
"Oh yeah?" Jess said. She pulled a pair of binoculars out of her pocket and looked out at the jungle.
"Where'd you get those?" Gerry asked.
"Uh, these?" Jess said, motioning the binoculars.
"Yeah, those." Gerry said.
"That, um, guy gave 'em to me." Jess explained. "Your boss, John Hammer, or whatever. He likes me."
"That was...generous of him." Gerry said. He was not completely sure Jess was being truthful.
"Yeah." Jess said.
"I see jungle and stuff, but no dinos." Jess said, again looking out with the binoculars.
"Just look around, you'll find them." Gerry said.
Suddenly a bush rustled.
"Hey, there's a dinosaur shaking that tree!" Jess said excitedly.
A small flock of birds suddenly flew out from the bush.
"Oh, forget it. Just some birds." Jess said.
Jess saw a large grey object further back.
"I see a...oh, never mind. It's a rock. I see a rock."
Jess lowered the binoculars and looked at her father. "Can we go down there and see the dinos up close?" Jess asked.
"When I worked in San Diego, did I let you into the tiger enclosure?" Gerry said.
"That was different." Jess explained. "Besides, I was only seven!"
"Right. And you scared the daylights out of me!" Gerry said.
Jess looked back towards the rock.
"Maybe there's a dinosaur hiding behind that rock." Jess joked. She looked down towards a red and grey MG KN Magnette parked on a road.
"There's a car down there."
"Must be Hammond's visitors." Gerry explained. "He's got some hotshot paleontologists here to see the park."
"I bet they get to see some dinos up close." Jess said.
Jess looked towards another section of jungle. She saw peered into a clearing and saw some dark shapes in the mud.
"There's a bunch of dinosaur footprints around that plant." Jess said.
"Our Triceratops are big fans of banana leaf." Gerry said. "They're probably nearby!"
Jess looked towards a brown object further up from the plant.
"Wait...wait, I definitely see one." Jess said.
Suddenly the Triceratops disappeared into the jungle.
"Aw. He just ran away."
"Actually it's a "she"," Gerry said. "They're all female. So, which way did she go?"
"Hm..." Jess wondered. "Wouldn't it be educational if I stuck around here another day or two?"
"You know, I think your mom might miss you a bit." Gerry said.
"Are you kidding me?" Jess said. "She'd be happy!"
"Oh c'mon, no she wouldn't." Gerry said.
"Yeah she would!" Jess said.
Jess looked in another direction and saw a yellow flowering plant.
"What's that yellow flower?" Jess asked. "It's kind of like mom's bird of paradise only, you know, healthy."
"Sounds like Heliconia." Gerry answered. "We imported them from the mainland to brighten up the place."
"You have more flowers here than dinosaurs." Jess said.
"Yeah, but they're good-looking flowers, right?" Gerry said.
Above the flower, Jess noticed a path of footprints.
"The footprints go into the stream..." Jess said.
"Sure," Gerry said. "The Triceratops went in for a dip! She must've come out somewhere."
"What's that little bunker building?" Jess asked.
"Just a maintenance shed." Gerry explained.
"For dinosaurs that need repaired?" Jess joked.
"Yeah. Sure. We like to keep 'em tuned up, you know." Gerry said.
Jess followed the stream until she saw the footprints reappear on another bank.
"There's footprints coming out of the stream!" Jess said.
"You're on the right track." Gerry said.
Jess followed the footprints until she came to a Triceratops that emerged from the bushes.
"Ok, I see her!" Jess said. "Wait...there's a bunch of 'em. Oh awesome, they're fighting! I wanted to see this!"
"Well, actually it's more of a dominance display than a fight." Gerry explained.
The larger Triceratops and a smaller Triceratops charged, ramming their horns against each other.
"You remember how Patchie was when your mom got that new puppy?" Gerry asked. "Lady Margaret's like that with the younger Triceratops."
"Seriously?" Jess asked incredulously. ""Lady Margaret"?"
"Yep, that's what we call the alpha." Gerry said. "See those horns? They're more than three feet long."
"Good for fighting T. rex, right?" Jess asked. "When do we get to see that?"
"That's not gonna happen." Gerry said. "I'm busy enough without holding gladiator fights. Which reminds me...remember I said I've got a sick Triceratops to check on? I should get going. I'll drop you at the guest house."
"Really, already?" Jess protested.
"It'll give you some time to pack your stuff. The boat leaves tonight, remember?" Gerry said as he walked to his Magnette.
"I don't have any stuff." Jess said. "I practically just got here." Jess walked towards the car.
"Well at least you got to see Triceratops fight." Gerry said.
"Actually, it was more like a dominance display." Jess said.
"Smartass." Gerry said, smiling. "C'mon, let's go."
As the two got into the Magnette, Gerry said, "Let's hope for clear skies. No fun on that boat when the waves are rough."
