The house stood as most houses did in the suburbs. Tall. Peaceful. Bountiful. The neighborhood in which this house stood was just as much so. It seemed like in a neighborhood like this, nothing exciting would surely happen.

But hey, this was a new world.

A Jurassic World.

Ever since the escape of Isla Nublar's survivors three years prior, the global ecosystem had taken a new form. The ancient creatures which had roamed this world millions of years prior had been given a second chance at life. While some humans may not have been fully on board with this action, there were many who found it as a way of truly preserving their species.

There were those who could remember one fateful news story, in which one of these animals was accidentally released into the streets of San Diego, causing a wide variety of mayhem.

"These creatures… require our absence to survive, not our help. And if we can only step aside, and trust in nature… life will find a way."

The man who delivered the message to the world was the very man who started it all. John Hammond started out as the kind of man who had a soft spot for these remarkable animals. He founded InGen in 1975 as a means of making his dream a reality. His fascination with Dinosaurs was something that many of his colleagues scoffed at, but there were some who believed that the process was all a matter of knowing what to do and how to do it.

Because of the efforts of these people, the dreams that were held in Hammond's highest regard were now not only a dream realized, but the shape of the new world. Even though Hammond was long since deceased, InGen still lived on in the DPG (Dinosaur Protection Group), a corporation founded after the fall of Jurassic World to preserve the future of the Dinosaurs after Isla Nublar's destruction.

And now, in this new world, their efforts were now put to the test.

"In other news," The woman on the news report said as her report showed everything she was saying. "Another major traffic issue has been caused by a herd of Apatosaurus trying to cross. Only a few minor injuries were sustained in the crash for both humans and the dinosaurs. In addition, I'm just getting a report of a bull Pentaceratops taking up residence in a farmers cattle field."

As the report went on, the bored teenager laid back on his couch with his eyes latched onto his phone with his head propped on his hand. He watched as new texts from his girlfriend appear on his feed. It had been a month since he graduated college, and he currently was looking for a place of his own.

True, he may not have been the brightest bulb in the box, but Zach Mitchell did have his smart moments.

A perfect example?

Year: 2015.

Location: Jurassic World.

Oh, how he remembered that fateful trip. He and his brother had been sent to their Aunts theme park for a week of fun and enjoyment. As much as he wanted to deny it, he knew that this was only because his parents were splitting up, and Gray knew it. However, the two of them temporarily forgot about the aforementioned issue when the bigger incident occurred. The main attractions of the establishment had broken out and wreaked havoc on all the unfortunate visitors of the park, causing several casualties and many lawsuits.

He could never forget seeing people being terrorized and severely injured by the attacking dinosaurs. Nit a night went by that he did not hear his brother murmuring in his sleep about what had happened during those events. They both tried their best to push these memories out of his minds. But Zach, being the tough and cynical brother that he was, only gave him the response of having to "man up" instead of being there for him.

As he lifted his head from his phone, he could see his brother entering the living room. Gray was now 18 years of age, and was aspiring to become a professional photographer, which would very well make sense since he spent most of his time studying the Dinosaurs he would find near his neighborhood and other places. Not only would he take very good pictures of whatever he found, he would also draw them down in his sketchbook. It would be very safe to say that Gray was eager to also pursue some job in sketching as well.

"Jan? What's up?" He said into his phone as he spoke to whoever was on the other line. His expression soon changed from causality to excitement. "Wait, seriously? Right now? My gosh, I'll be right over! See you there!"

He then hung up the phone and backpack and his shoes. "Zach, come on!"

Zach just stared at his phone and gave an uninterested "Hm?"

"Come on, man! Jan says they moved. It's about to happen!" Gray answered eagerly. "Get your stuff, let's go!"

~Later~

The two brothers had left their neighborhood and made their way down near the beach, near the edge of the city. The sand was white and soft as the two crossed under the wire fencing. At the entrance of the beach was a rustic looking beach house that was painted blue.

"I can't understand why you're so excited about all this." Zach said in his normal bored tone of voice. "A couple Dinosauruses aren't exactly the most fascinating things in the world anymore."

"First off: stop calling them Dinosauruses," Gray said as-a-matter-of-factly. "I already told you, they're called Maiasaurus. Secondly: I want to catch this moment before it's over."

Near a large grassy sand dune, a girl with brown hair who appeared to be about Gray's age appeared and quickly motioned for them to come over. Once the brothers were over to her, she led them up the dune and hid behind the grass. She then held a pair of binoculars up to her eyes, watching over the grass.

"You said you saw movement?" Gray asked her.

"Started with three." The girl stated as she looked through the binoculars. "Then two more from the side."

"How many would you say there are?"

"At least a dozen." She answered before glancing at Zach. "Surprised your brother wanted to come. No one on to play Fortnite?"

Zach scoffed at her. "Funny. Just jumped at the thought of seeing this… what is this again?"

"Hatching." Gray silently groaned. "Me and Jan have been watching them for three months. The mom's been near the nest non-stop. It only proves that scientists were right to call it "good mother lizard". Jan's been keeping up with it."

Jan gave a rather prideful smile before gasping briefly. "Look. She's back."

What Jan was watching through her binoculars caught the boy's attention (mostly Gray's). A large animal was slowly walking across the sand, leaving its footprints behind it. The dinosaur stood at least 3 meters high, walking on four legs that sported three normal toes and one sharpened one on the side. The mouth was somewhat that of a bill, similar to a duck. Its skin was brown with white stripes painted down its back. In its' mouth, it seemed to be carrying several wads of fresh green plants.

The Animal stopped in front of a big pile of Grass and seaweed. This particular pile seemed to be covering a large hole it had dug with its peculiar, shovel-like feet. It looked down at it before looking around, seeing if it was not being followed. The three Teenagers could hear it sniffing around.

It was when it turned its head in their direction that they realized it had caught their scent. The Maiasaur seemed to notice them as it kept staring at their location. It tilted its head in a curious fashion. The children expected it to try and chase it off in one form or another.

But as they saw, it just stood there.

Instead, she just turned her head back down to the covered hole.

The foliage was moving.

The Maiasaur nudged some of the plants aside as she watched to see what would come out. After a few seconds, a small creature came crawling out of the nest. It had the same skin pattern as the mother, and was about the size of a small dog. The tiny hatchling looked up at its mother and made a small chittering noise. The mother lowered her snout as she helped nudge it out of the nest.

Behind the baby, its siblings began to emerge as well. Their little heads rose from the grassy cover to greet their mother. There appeared to be at least fifteen once it was certain they were all hatched. They all crowded in front of their mother as she began to chew up the plants that were in her mouth. With a snort, she lowered back down to them and emptied the chewed-up contents down to them. The infants then began to nibble at it and gulp it down.

Gray dug into his backpack and pulled up a camera. He turned the flash off and began taking several pictures of the dinosaurs before them. Once he had taken enough pictures, he pulled out a sketchpad and some markers. Once he opened it and found an empty page, he began to get started on his latest drawing.

Jan kept watching through her binoculars. "Wow. She's feeding them just like birds feed their chicks. She's sure going to have her claws full."

Zach, however, was looking down at his phone the whole time, clearly uninterested in the event taking place. All he seemed interested in was the latest feed on Instagram. But neither Gray or Jan paid his aloofness any mind. All they wanted to do was continue their studies on this remarkable sight before them.

Little did they know that they would have a lot more sights to see.
