ELLIE'S POV (3 years ago)

"Wow that's actually starting to sound like something." I heard Joel as I was trying to play the guitar, but it was really hard.
"Ugh, I suck."
"Nah, you just need to build your calluses thats all."
"Yeah." I rubbed my fingertips.
"Alright, let's go."
"This is it?"
"Oh shit." I stood up in excitement, as Joel was bragging about what he had for my birthday.
"Okay, I'm gonna start guessing."
"You wanna ruin your surprise now?"
"Is it a dinosaur?"
"No."
"Is it a convertible?"
"Ellie, you're not gonna guess."
"Ugh, fine."

We walked in silence.

"Okay but is it, an elephant?"
"Ellie-"
"How bout a bunch of kittens?"
"You mean a litter?"
"What's a litter?"
"A bunch of kittens."
"Why wouldn't you just call it a bunch of kittens?"
"I don't know- I didn't come up with it."
"Hm."
"Alright, watch your step."
Joel pushed some branches out of the way for me to walk on this thinner ledge.
"I got it- WOAH!"
Joel had pushed me into the water below us, and he was laughing.
"What the fuck?!"
"You should see your face right now." He kept laughing his ass off.
"What if I drowned?"
"You're not gonna drown, gotta work on that confidence kiddo."
"Pft, keep laughing old man, see what happened."
"Now remember, you don't just flail about, you gotta push the-"
"Push the water with your whole arm. Blah blah blah."
"Glad to know I'm getting through."
After I got back on land, Joel and I spotted a deer.
"Ellie look." He pointed at it.
"Looks like..."
"WOAH!"
I pushed Joel into the water.
"Yeah, how does that feel?"
"Refreshing."
"Yeah doesn't feel to good now does it?"
"We gotta swim through this part anyways."
"Admit it, you're angry and upset."
"I'm very angry and upset, now come on."
"Ugh."
I jumped into the water and we dived under a couple rocks.
"Is it uhhh, new pair of sneakers?"
"How many of those do you have?"
"Pft, not enough."
Joel and I climbed up a ledge.
"Is it my fifth grade history teacher wanting to apologize for being a massive dick?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Logan... and I, we would get into these arguments whenever she called Fireflies terrorists." Saying his name broke my heart a little. When talking to Joel, I always referred to Logan as 'him'.
"You really gotta stop letting people rile you up."
"It's hard when they're dicks.... is it a uhhh, dvd? Oh what about laserdiscs, i heard that's a thing."

As we walked forward we came to a big opening with a huge statue of a T-rex.

"Woah!! It IS A DINOSAUR!"
"That it is." Joel looked real proud of himself.
"Joel!!" I shouted in excitement.
As I walked up to it I wrote what the panel said in my journal.
"King of the tyrant lizards. That's a big boi."
I started to climb it.
"Ellie! What're you doing?!"
"I'm climbing a dinosaur!"
"I know just don't die falling off one." I got to the top.
"IM ON A MOTHERFUCKING DINOSAUR!"
"Alright alright, just climb on down."
I saw a pool of water and couldn't resist. I jumped into it.
"Ellie!"
There was a big splash.
"Did you see that?" I said to Joel.
"Yeah, I did."
"That was awesome."
I saw a huge sign.
"Wyoming Museum. How'd you find this place?"
"Maria told me about it, figured it'd be right up your alley."
"Figured right."

As we walked in there was a book on a small holder at the door.

"What's this?"
"Uhh. A book?"
"It's a dinosaur book."
"Okay?" Joel didn't want to tell me anything about the place.
"Alright."

As I walked in a saw a hat and put it on.
"Joel look!"
He smiled.

We kept going through the museum, seeing all the fossils, and I even put my hat on all the ones that I could.

We got to the second floor.

The walls started to get darker and had white spots. It was the space exhibit.
