Violet's alive. Ben's alive. Those words were still processing for Yasmina. Them being back didn't fully hit her but right now she was still in the moment of just being happy to see them actually alive.

Yasmina had her arms wrapped around Violet's waist while on the back of the quad. She spoke near Violet's ear so the girl could hear through the loud motor sounds, "What is it with you and falling from high places?"

"And surviving each one?" Violet questioned in a clear voice with a joking smile. "Because I'm awesome."

Yasmina scoffed as she looked forward. Brooklynn and Kenji were on the motorcycle together. He sat in the front while Brooklynn was in the back but she was driving.

Violet continued to drive the quad, following their lead. "Your ankle...it's a lot better now." She noticed that Yasmina was able to walk better and not really limp like the last time.

Yasmina looked through the alley of the underground tunnel. A smile came onto her face, "Yeah, not to brag or anything but I can totally still beat you in a race. It'll be like nothing ever changed."

"What?" Violet opened her mouth, slightly glancing at the girl as she shook her head. "No. No. Yasmina, you have it all wrong. You are the one who always had trouble keeping up with me."

Yasmina scoffed, looking forward into the darkness of the tunnel. "When Ben fell out, he was grabbed by the pteranodons. I'm guessing you hit your head on the way down."

Violet immediately started to chuckle. "You're hilarious." She slowly turned her smile into a small smirk as a thought crossed her mind. "Actually...maybe I did. I've gotten into a few encounters that ended up with me being in terrible pain. Is it true that kissing the pain away actually works?" Violet glanced at Yasmina, meeting her eyes. "Do you wanna try?"

Yasmina's smile fell off her face as she stared at Violet, not blinking her eyes as she slowly diverted her eyes elsewhere, still trying to process. Her heart felt like it had stopped or maybe it was just beating way too fast to register. "To...to kiss-"

"The pain away." Violet nodded with a cheeky grin. She smiled even more to herself at seeing the look on Yasmina's face. How she had a hard time to just say those words. Violet glanced at her left wrist, "You can start with my hand and call me your majesty."

Yasmina smacked Violet's shoulder which made Violet laugh. The track star cooled down from the heat that was on her face as she let a soft scoff out of her mouth. "I thought you were dead and the first thing you do is continue to toy with me."

Violet slowed the quad down as they came to a stop. She lifted her head up to look to the side at her, "Who says I'm toying with you?"

Yasmina wasn't sure how to respond to that or anything that Violet had been saying. She tried to get her mind set straight. They were supposed to be helping Darius and Sammy. Once again, this was a horrible time for Violet to be acting like this and making Yasmina feel all these weird emotions again. She could not afford to be a mess right now and she most definitely should not want to flirt with a woman who just came back from the dead whilst trying to save their friends.

Violet fully stopped the quad in front of a blocked wall that had rails. She didn't move off the quad just yet. Violet glanced down at the hands that were still wrapped around her waist. She waited a couple of seconds but they were still there.

Violet turned her head to Yasmina whose mind was obviously elsewhere, "Hey, Trackstar." She called out in a soft tone, getting the girls' attention. "You okay there?"

"Yeah." Yasmina quickly replied as she looked at Violet. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Violet formed a side smile while glancing forward. "Because we are at a dead end." She tried explaining in the simplest way yet Yasmina still didn't see the point of her words which Violet understood so she continued talking. "And I don't mind the physical touch from you-"

"Oh." Yasmina widened her eyes as her hands immediately opened out, taking her arms off from Violet's waist. She quickly got off the quad with her back facing Violet as she fixed the strand of hair that was in front of her eyes. "Sorry, I'm just super worried for the others and how everything-" Yasmina continued to ramble about the others as Violet got off the vehicle next.

Kenji immediately dropped his body off the motorcycle, feeling nauseous and motion sickness from all the quick turns.

Ben walked up to the gate, "Let's take this down, Bumps." He tapped the gate two times with the spear that was in his hand. Bumpy ran up to the gate and whacked it with her tail, causing a loud sound from the hit. Nothing happened the first time so Ben made her do it again but nothing. Ben got irritated at it and started to punch it.

Yasmina leaned her arm on the wall, watching Ben. "Yeah, I don't think Wild Child and his Amazing Dino are gonna be able to punch through that gate."

Violet had huffed a chuckle at the nicknames. She was on the other side of the wall, across from Yasmina, "Oh, do me."

"Do..." Yasmina slowly took her eyes off Ben and directed them at Violet. "You?" Of course, only someone like Violet could be so direct-

"I want a nickname too." Violet shined a smile at her with a nod.

"Why-let." Kenji snapped his head at Violet after hearing the word, nickname. "Get it. Why-let, Violet." He chuckled to himself. "I came up with it. Just right now."

Yasmina relaxed her face with slight embarrassment at what she previously thought. She stared at Violet and Kenji. "Nickname..." She whispered to herself.

Violet raised one brow while the other scrunched, "Why-let sounds like toilet."

"Violet sounds like toilet." Yasmina bluntly spoke out loud.

Connor didn't try to hide the fact that he bursted out laughing.

Violet turned her head back to the girl with a hurt look. She quickly spoke, "And Yasmina sounds like Yaz-mean-uh." She emphasized on mean.

"Okay." Kenji raised his voice as he walked forward to the dinosaur who couldn't get the gate down. "Maybe Bumpy just needs a little pep talk to bring it down." He put the attention back on Bumpy while kneeling down to her. "You break barriers, barriers don't break you."

Connor stood beside Kenji, "Yeah, great pep talk, dude." He spoke with sarcasm. He looked past Kenji, seeing Ben who then started kicking the gate. "Ben, stop kicking the gate."

Ben turned around with anger at the gate. "But we can't give up now."

"No one said anything about giving up." Connor motioned his hand at the gate. "But kicking the gate isn't going to work otherwise I would have already done it."

Violet walked forward to him, standing beside them. "We would never give up on any of them. We just need more time for another solution."

"What if we run out of time?" Ben turned around, letting his back hit the gate.

Violet put a hand on his shoulder, "Ben, c'mon, it's Sammy and Darius. They'll be fine."

Ben looked at her in thought, "You really think so?"

"Yes." Violet told him with full confidence then when he looked away she slowly looked to the side with a mutter, "They better be."

That was when they all heard clanging sounds from behind them which slightly startled them all. Brooklynn started walking toward the noise first, followed by the rest going towards it.
