Grant was now stuck with an iguanodon because clearly he hadn't thought things through. DinoLand was a big enough place for the iguanodon to roam and it was mainly filled with Dino Institute employees who now knew about him. The tourists and employees at the tourist trap next door did not.

Grant sighed. He really needed to warn Chester and Hester about Lucky (as he'd named his new pet iguanodon), even though he knew the elderly proprietors of Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama would definitely do their best to profit of the dinosaur somehow.

So out of the Dino Institute he went. He had his hands in the pockets of his lab coat as he walked the path that would take him past the T-Rex skeleton on display, and eventually off campus and to the Restaurantosaurus the interns kept raving about. He went through and saw scores of interns and tourists getting fast food - burgers, fries, hot dogs, shrimp…

George Thorogood and the Destroyers was playing - Bad to the Bone. Which made sense, he figured. How many songs about palaeontology were there? And would anyone really want to hear songs about digging for dinosaur bones? No, that was more Chester and Hester's thing.

Outside, Grant was still on Dino Institute territory. And it was quite a walk to Chester and Hester's. Though the area was full of tourists, he did not arouse suspicion from them - there were a lot of scientists hanging about thanks to his place of work.

It took some time, but Grant got to The Boneyard, where palaeontologists did their digging ever since the first fossil was found there in 1947 - the t-rex that he'd passed earlier on his way out of the Dino Institute. Though, many fossils had been found there since.

'Hey, hey, Dig-Man. I saw a great movie last night.'

'What was it?'

'Great Excavations!'

'Was it as good as The Lizard of Oz?'

'No.'

Grant looked around for the source of the conversation, as it seemed to be coming from the nearby radio. He found it - two of the interns sitting with pirate radio equipment in the scaffolding above the dig site.

'The theme this month is "Grads on a Hot Tin Roof".'

'Should be the time of the millennium! And to help set the tone, here's a tribute to the final days of our prehistoric pals!'

At that moment, Blue Öyster Cult's Godzilla started to play.

'What are you doing up there?' Grant called up to them.

'Oh! Dr Seeker! How's your iguanodon?' one of them asked, covering the mic with his hand.

'Lucky,' the other one said.

'Yeah. Lucky. Hey, Digger, why is he called Lucky?'

'Because he survived the extinction event,' said Grant.

'Makes sense.'

'Of course it does, Bonehead.'

Grant nodded. 'Lucky's fine,' he said. 'Are Chester and Hester about?'

'Uh… yeah,' said Bonehead. 'I've seen them.'

'They're working their carnival games,' said Digger. 'Why? You gonna tell them about your new pet?'

'Why didn't you get fired for that?' asked Bonehead. 'If that was me, I totally would have been fired. Is it true you stole Dr Marsh's log-in credentials?'

'Yeah, that's the rumour,' Digger added.

'That knowledge is above your pay grade,' said Grant.

'You're not paying us at all,' said Digger.

Grant nodded. That was a fair comment. 'Okay, never ask about how I acquired Lucky, and I won't tell anyone about your little pirate radio station going on here.'

'Deal,' said Bonehead. 'Bye, Dr Seeker!'

The two interns waved at Grant as he carried on the, what would now be a short, walk to Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama.

Grant could see what used to be a road and the cracks in the asphalt where it had gone neglected for the past forty years. Then he passed what used to be Chester and Hester's gas station - old fashioned red gas pumps and all - complete with a shaded mural that read; "Greetings from DinoLand USA!"

Opposite was their tacky tourist trap. A green and a blue dinosaur looked down on him on opposite sides of a sign that read; "Chester & Hester's Dino-Rama!"

He hated going inside. It was as though it was mocking him and all his and his colleages' work at the Dino Institute. He walked past the tacky carnival rides and made his way across the former parking lot to the carnival games. There, Grant found Digger had been right - Chester and Hester were both working the Whac-A-Packycephalosaur game. Like Whac-A-Mole, but themed around pachycephalosauruses rather than moles.

To get their attention, Grant loudly cleared his throat.

'Ah. Dr Seeker,' said Hester. 'I thought you'd been fired.'

'What made you think that?' asked Grant.

'We just… well, we heard some things through the grapevine,' said Chester, 'that you'd been causing trouble for Dr Marsh.'

'Something about an iguanodon,' said Hester.

So they knew already, Grant thought to himself.

Chester and Hester were likeable enough people. Just because they ran the tourist trap next door it did not mean they were the enemy. They'd taken tours of the Dino Institute and got involved in digs at the Boneyard. They liked Grant, and Grant kind of liked them too. They just also happened to like money more than Scrooge McDuck. And they were stingy, just like Scrooge McDuck. Grant just didn't want them profiting from Lucky.

'Yes, you're right. There was an incident with an iguanodon,' said Grant. 'The iguanodon is now living at the Dino Institute.'

Chester had no reaction while Hester simply tried to contain her shock.

'So it's… alive?' she asked.

'Uh. Yes.' Grant nodded. 'It is indeed.'

'It's not you with a poorly constructed hand puppet this time?' asked Chester.

'No. No it is not.' Grant shook his head.

'You're telling us that a real, actual dinosaur is living next door?' said Hester.

'Yeah, I thought you should know, just in case he tramples your tourist trap.'

Chester and Hester shared a worried look.

'Chester?'

'Yes, Hester?'

'Is there such thing as Dinosaur Insurance?'

This is just an overall exploration of the theme at DinoLand in Animal Kingdom. It's a very misunderstood area and it has probably the best theme and backstory of all the lands at Disney Parks.
A fossil was found in 1947 - the t-rex at the Dino Institute. Chester and Hester turned their gas station into a tourist trap as palaeontologists started moving there and founded the Dino Institute. Then the Time Rover at the Dino Institute was invented in the 90s, and they took advantage of the tourists, sending them back in time. Scientists and tourists ate at Restaurantosaurus - where interns sometimes slept -and at the Boneyard, two interns - The Digger and The Bonehead - run a pirate radio station where they play rock songs.
So there's a lot of things I've mentioned that can be found at DinoLand. Google Earth it - I've tried to get it as accurate as possible, but I did take some liberties.
It's just a clever and misunderstood area.
This sort of follows the events of One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing.
Yes, I used some lines from The Digger and The Bonehead's radio loop.
As for why Aladar is Lucky here, there was a dinosaur walk around animatronic called Lucky. It wasn't Aladar, but I'm stealing the name. Lucky just makes sense - Aladar was lucky to survive the meteor and Grant was lucky to keep his job after everything he did.
