"You used to be afraid of the ocean?" Mo asked, slightly narrowing her eyes. "Atticus..."
"Keep in mind, this was before we found our parents," Cherry reminded Mo. "Before Atticus reunited with his mother's family..."
"Oh... Sorry... Guess I didn't think about that..." Mo hit herself on the forehead.
"Anyways, while I stayed with Ellie to make sure the triceratops would be cured, Cherry and the others were the unlucky ones." Atticus said.
"As usual..." Cherry released a long-suffering sigh.
Junior giggled at that.
"Oh, you find my pain funny, do you?" Cherry glanced at him.
Junior stuck his tongue out.
"Salty!" Cherry folded her arms. "I blame your big sister."
"So what happened?" Mo asked.
"Dine-Sawr?" Junior asked.
"Yep and where it was the king of the dinos himself." Atticus said.
Mo's eyes widened. "The rex?"
Atticus looked to Cherry.
"Heh..." Cherry smiled nervously.
"Cherry, it's your turn to tell the story, but only on your side of it." Atticus said.
"All right... Let me see..." Cherry stopped to think. "We left Ellie and Atticus with the triceratops..."
"Yeah, and...?" Mo urged for her to continue.
"The rain was getting worse," Cherry continued ever so slowly. "I think Ian decided to go back."
"How bad do you think the storm's going to get, Cherry?" Lex asked.
"Man, it's really coming down out there..." Cherry said as the sky was dark and lightning was zapping on and off like a light switch. "I hope we can find shelter soon."
"Same here." Lex said.
The vehicles then suddenly stopped in front of the tyrannosaurus's partic.
"Uh, did we just stop?" Tim asked.
"That can't be good..." Cherry said.
"Um, why is the screen off?" Lex asked.
"Rainstorms plus electric car equals power surge..." Cherry groaned.
"We're not going to be stuck here all night, are we?" Lex asked.
"I'm sure your grandpa will think of something." Cherry shrugged.
"I sure hope you're right." Lex said.
"Hey, isn't that the goat?" Cherry looked out the window as Alan and Ian's car stopped ahead of them.
"Yeah, and it's still not eaten, so?" Tim asked.
Before anything could be said, Cherry's door was opened by Alan.
"Is everything okay?" Cherry asked.
"Yeah, everything's okay on our part, how are you kids doing?" Alan asked Cherry, Tim, and Lex.
"We're fine," Cherry said. "Are you okay though?"
"I-I'm fine, just making sure, kids get scared, ya know..." Alan sounded very nervous and worried, but he left them alone.
Lex and Cherry then glanced to each other, then noticed something missing.
"Hey, where's your brother...?" Cherry then asked.
"BOO!" Tim popped up from behind the front seat with a pair of mechanical goggles over his eyes.
This caused for Lex to scream, but it didn't cause Cherry to scream.
"Where did you find those?" The lawyer asked.
"In the box under my seat." Tim replied as he took them off.
"Are they heavy?" the lawyer asked.
"Yeah." Tim nodded as he looked to them.
"Then they're expensive," the lawyer sounded scolding. "Put them back."
"Don't listen to him, Tim, you can use them if you want, just be careful with them." Cherry said.
"Who's the adult here?" the lawyer glanced at her.
"I say he can, so there." Cherry retorted.
Tim put the goggles back on and decided to climb over to his new friend and sister.
"Don't scare me." Lex scolded, hitting Tim with her hat in mild annoyance.
"Cool, night vision." Tim smiled as soon as he turned on the goggles and zoomed them out.
Cherry came to his side as she looked at the back window past the drizzling raindrops. "What do you see?"
"Just the other car..." Tim said as he explored night vision.
Alan opened his door to collect rain water into his bottle as he was running low on his own and even shared with Ian.
After a little while, Tim and Cherry overheard and felt something as if something was coming. The lawyer seemed to fall asleep and Lex was fanning herself slightly with her hat, becoming extremely bored.
Tim put his hand on his sister's shoulder. "Did you feel that?"
"I'm sure it's nothing..." Cherry sounded in denial, but had slight worry in her voice.
Tim leaned over and took a close look at the two cups of water. One of them shook and there were tiny ripples coming from the top.
"If it's nothing, then why's the water rippling?" Tim asked.
This seemed to wake the lawyer up.
"Maybe it's the power trying to come back on." he then suggested to their worries and assumptions.
Lex looked around. "What is that?"
"Tim, try to take a look." Cherry suggested.
Tim did so as he looked at where the goat was with his night vision goggles, but to his and the others' surprise... The goat was gone. Lex, Cherry, and the lawyer could even see this without the night vision.
"Where's the goat?" Lex asked.
As if on cue, a bloody piece of meat slammed onto the window, which startled them all.
"Found it..." Cherry weakly responded.
"B-B-But if one of it's legs is there, then does that mean what I think it means?" Lex asked, frightened.
The others heard a snarl from behind the 10,000 volt electric fence. They looked ahead and saw a silhouette of another dinosaur which was the king of all of them. It dipped its head back and chomped on the rest of the goat.
"Well, at least we'll be staying in this vehicle together." Tim whispered.
"Jesus!" the lawyer whimpered, going off for himself and ran away.
"He left us..." Lex whispered fearfully. "He left us!"
"Coward!" Cherry glared before she went to close the door.
"Where does he think he's going?" Alan muttered once he saw the lawyer escape.
Ian noticed that the lawyer had hid in one of the public bathrooms. "When you gotta go, you gotta go."
The fence seemed to be coming apart. And where this seemed to be the opportunity the king of the dinosaurs waited for.
"Don't move..." Cherry said through her teeth. "Don't make a sound..."
"Why?" Tim asked.
The rex was emerging from the fence and was stomping its way over to the electric cars. Lex, not hearing what Cherry said, looked in the way back of their vehicle to find a case. The dinosaur stomped and roared as it looked around, looking for food.
"Stay absolutely still, it's vision is based on movement." Alan whispered to Ian.
Lex looked to the back of the car and decided to look for something to help them against the dinosaur.
"Lex!" Cherry whispered loudly. "Stop!"
But Lex, too afraid too listen, grabbed a flashlight and turned it on.
"Oh, why me...?" Cherry shuddered as she instantly sweated.
The tyrannosaurus rex snarled and came over to their car, leaving Alan and Ian alone.
"Turn it off," Alan whispered. "Turn it off!"
"Turn the light off!" Tim and Cherry urged Lex as the dinosaur was coming closer.
Lex began to try to do so. The rex snarled, scanning through the windows as they did their best to be silent and staying still. The rex lowered its head and stared at them with one large eye which worried and overwhelmed Cherry, Tim, and Lex. It then let out an ear piercingly loud roar which made the three of them flinch and cover their ears in an instant.
'W-Well, at least it can't get worse.' Tim thought to himself.
Cherry gestured with her head for them to scooch to the other side as she did. Lex and Tim got the message and scooted themselves back while the tyrannosaurus rex was distracted so it wouldn't track them based on their movements. However, the dinosaur was staring at the car and nudged its head against it, which made them all scream as they were being violently shaken.
"Turn it off!" Tim told his sister.
The Murphy siblings seemed to have issues with turning off the light and blamed each other about it.
"Guys!" Cherry hissed quietly.
The tyrannosaurs rex shoved its head through the roof of the vehicle, making the glass press against the three of them, but luckily didn't break or cut them. The three then tried to keep up the glass so the dinosaur couldn't break through and try to eat them.
"Well, at least it can't get any worse from here." Tim said.
"Never say that out loud..." Cherry groaned as she struggled with holding up the glass.
The tyrannosaurs rex snarled in defeat as it was unable to get through the glass, so it then tried to nudge against the vehicle again, which nearly knocked it on the side of the ground. After the second try, it knocked to the side, but then rolled right upside down.
"Oh, come on!" Tim groaned.
"You just had to say it..." Lex weakly deadpanned with a groan.
The dinosaur then stomped on top of the car and started to gnaw at it like it was food.
"Can this at least get better for us?" Tim asked.
"I think we ought to stay still..." Cherry advised as the rex was chewing at the tires, trying to get meat for itself.
"I agree." Lex said.
This tour was no longer boring as much as it was life-threatening now.
"Hey!" Alan's voice called out. "Hey!"
Lex, Tim, and Cherry were getting bloody and muddy from the tyrannosaurus rex. The dinosaur looked up to see Alan, holding a firework. Alan lured the dinosaur with it, waving it back and forth before throwing it. The tyrannosaurs rex snarled and decided to go after the fire, like a dog running off to play fetch with a stick.
But then Ian, not thinking at all, got out with the same flare.
"Ian, freeze!" Alan called out to him.
"Get the kids!" Ian ran as the dinosaur chased him now.
"Get rid of the flare!" Alan told him.
Ian did just that, but continued to run. Ian and the dinosaur were then running toward the bathroom. The lawyer's scream was heard as the dinosaur burst in through the bathroom, snarling very viciously. Ian landed hard on the ground, groaning in pain. The tyrannosaurs rex then came for the lawyer.
The lawyer shivered and shook as he was now exposed on the toilet. "NO!"
The tyrannosaurs rex then grabbed the lawyer in his mouth and shook him violently in its jaws of death.
Alan began to help out the kids one at a time, first was Lex and then Cherry and finally was about get Tim out next.
"I'm stuck," Tim winced. "The seat's got my foot!"
Alan was about to help Tim out of the seats, but then he heard one of the girls scream which meant one thing. "Don't move," he told both the girls, putting his hand over Lex's mouth. "He can't see us if you don't move."
The tyrannosaurus rex squished through the mud and leaned over to Alan, Lex, and Cherry. It breathed heavily which fogged up Cherry's glasses and blew Alan's hat clear off his head. Cherry continued to stay still even if her glasses were fogged. The dinosaur started to spin the vehicle around through the slippery mud.
"Why is it spinning the car?" Lex asked.
"Probably still trying to find us." Cherry guessed.
Once the car stopped spinning, Cherry, Alan, and Lex hid behind it. The tyrannosarus rex then started to hit the car and a boy's yelp was heard.
"Oh, Tim's still in there!" Cherry then remembered.
"We gotta save him." Lex said.
Lex, Cherry, and Alan wandered behind the car as the rex kept trying to get Tim. They made it on top of the car as the tyrannosaurs rex kept trying to eat Tim, but luckily was blocked just as much as they were. They were now on top of the fence barrier and Alan decided to go after Tim since he was an adult.
"Um, sir, I don't think now would be a good time to try and save him!" Cherry told him while looking behind them.
"Why not?" Alan grunted, choking slightly since Lex's arms were tightly around his throat.
"Because if you do that, then we'll possibly fall to our death!" Cherry told him.
"I know what I'm doing!" Alan told her.
The vehicle was nearing the edge as they were going down.
"I don't like this..." Cherry said. "The rain could make one of us slip and fall..."
Alan didn't want to admit it, but it did really look like it was getting too dangerous. He tried to do what he was doing while hiding his fear as the vehicle was closer to the higher edge. The vehicle was slipping and then fell straight down, luckily passing Lex, Cherry, and Alan after the wires were grabbed and pulled. After thinking it killed off it's prey, the tyrannosaur roared.
