Alan, Ellie, and Y/n left the confinement of the jeep, creeping closer to the dinosaur. Ellie and Alan spoke in awe at the creature, while Y/n couldn't bring herself to speak. She was astounded that such a thing could exist. John walked up to the three, placing a soft hand on Y/n's shoulder.

"My grandpa would have loved this," she whispered, hands covering her mouth as she admired the Brachiosaurus before her.

"We could tear up the book on cold-bloodedness. It doesn't apply. They're totally wrong. This is a warm-blooded creature," Alan gushed.

"This thing doesn't live in a swamp," noted the blonde female.

"This thing's got a... twenty-five? Twenty-seven-foot neck?" Alan turned to John as he asked his question.

"Brachiosaur? Thirty," John smiled.

"Thirty feet," Alan repeated breathlessly. The gentle giant stood on its hind legs, reaching the very top leaves of the tree before resting on all fours once again, causing a small tremor to shake the ground.

"How fast are they?" Alan seemed like a child in a candy story, filled with glee and excitement.

"Well, we've clocked the T-Rex at 32 miles an hour," answered John. Both scientists gave Hammond an awestruck look as they continued to pester the man with more questions.

It was Ellie that spoke next. "T-T-Rex?" The man in white hummed in response as Y/n stepped closer to them.

"You have a T-Rex?" the artist quipped. Another hum as a grin crossed his face.

Alan grabbed the owner's shoulders, looked him dead in the eyes and asked, "Say again?"

"We have a T-Rex!" John said with another smile. Alan took a step back, attempting to catch his breath by placing his hands on his knees and taking several sharp inhales. Ellie gave him some advice as Y/n hopped up and down in pure glee.

"Dr. Grant. Dr. Sattler. My dear Y/n. Welcome to Jurassic Park."

The three looked over and saw a sight that looked like something out of their wildest dreams. Surrounding a lake was a herd of Brachiosaur, along with a small group of Parasaurolophus drinking from the clear water. Several birds soared in the air as the creatures bellowed, the sound carrying through the air, almost resembling the song of a whale.

"They're moving in herds, they do move in herds," Alan declared. He turned to Hammond and spoke once again. "How did you do this?"

"I'll show you." John beckoned them back to the cars, and each one climbed in. The vehicles started off again, with Y/n gazing at the dinosaurs they passed. She was in complete awe and shock that there were living, breathing dinosaurs not twenty feet away from her.

Pretty soon, they arrived at a building, which they assumed was the visitor's center. It appeared to be a work in progress, but otherwise looked welcoming and like a joyous place. Several workers smiled as they came and went, and the group hopped out of the jeeps. John coaxed the group forward and led them through the doors.

"G'day, g'day, g'day," John greeted as they wandered past people. "Now, the most advanced amusement park in the entire world, incorporating all the latest technologies - and I'm not talking just about rides, you know, everybody has rides. But we've made living biological attractions so astounding, that they'll capture the imagination of the entire planet."

"So what are you thinking?" Ellie asked Alan.

"That we're out of a job," answered the paleontologist.

"Don't you mean 'extinct'?" Ian inquired. Y/n gave him a side eye, then started laughing lightly, which then turned into louder laughter. Ian focused on her, giving a slight smile as he listened to her melodious laughter. One of her insecurities was her laugh, but Ian found it to be refreshing and a glorious sound.
