SHORTS 9: Pterodactyl Problems [Takes place during "Bros Before Dinos"]

Dipper approached Y/n, who was standing in the church's nave. "Are you okay?" he wanted to know.

"I should be the one asking you that question," Y/n joked. "You know, that pterodactyl almost got you."

"Yeah, if it hadn't been for you saving me back there," Dipper admitted, rubbing his arm sheepishly. "Y/n, I-"

The pterodactyl jumped out, catching Y/n's legs in its mouth and trying to drag her down, but Dipper managed to grab her hand. Mabel, Soos, and Stan followed him and began pulling, hoping to free her, but the dinosaur was far more powerful than all four of them.

Despite this, they refused to give up.

Dipper gritted his teeth after mistaking Y/n's contorted face for pain. "Y/n, don't you dare let go, okay?"

Y/n was at a loss for words in this situation. She was perfectly fine and in no pain, but she was torn. She didn't want them to be pulled along, but she also didn't want to be eaten.

The pterodactyl fought back, pulling harder each time. Dipper's slipping shoes, which were losing traction, drew Y/n's attention. "Don't worry, Dipper," she reassured him. He appeared helpless, while she appeared assured, as the two exchanged ferocious stares.

She was yanked one more time, and his grip on her hand slipped, but she didn't fall because Dipper grabbed the pendant from her necklace. Y/n's gaze was fixed on his hands. "Dipper, it'll snap."

"No! Just- take my hand! " He held out one hand while the other was clasped around her necklace.

"No, you're gonna get pulled down, too!" Y/n yelled back. "You need to let go!"

Dipper was adamant in his refusal to listen to her pleadings. In the midst of the struggle, Y/n managed to exchange an uncertain look with Stan. They were both at a loss for what to do.

But at the moment, she does.

With one swift swipe, her hands came behind her neck and unhooked her necklace, and the force was shocking as she was quickly taken down, her gasp echoing. Dipper screamed her name into the darkness, but there was no response.

She counted for at least 7 seconds before her back struck the edge of the geyser. She rolled around till her face was in direct touch with the soil. Y/n took a deep breath and stood up, as if she were just viewing the sunset. She was just here 5 minutes ago, when they were being chased by the pterodactyl.

Speaking of the pterodactyl...

A loud hiss caught her attention, and her eyes followed the noise. Due to the crack of the floorboards being covered with debris, there weren't any light sources that could help her see in the darkness. But she could guess that the creature was lurking to the left of her. "You can come out, I'm not gonna hurt her."

Seemed like the dinosaur's instincts triggered the moment it heard her voice after the silence as it suddenly charged towards her, stomping its big, meaty claws. Y/n remained unmoving, observing its movements and before she knew it, the pterodactyl was already in front of her, its mouth widening and screaming at her face.

She merely blinked, her eyes slightly furrowed. "Rude," she said, "You do not scream in other's faces."

The pterodactyl closed its foodhole and simply tilted its head in curiosity, seeing that this human didn't have any evil intention. But it wanted to test the waters and began opening its mouth and slanting its head to properly fit her in its mouth.
