THE REST OF THE MONORAIL RIDE WAS SILENT, and we got off at the Gyro sphere tour. I smile, excited to ride this ride since Ive never been on it before, didnt have another person to go with me. We get in the line for the three person Gyro Sphere and Gray starts to explain about DNA or something Im not quite sure.

"Did you know that the soft tissue is preserved because the iron in the dinosaur's blood generates free radicals, and those are highly reactive. So, the proteins and the cell membranes get all mixed up, and and uh... act as a natural preservative. DNA can survive for a millennia that way." Gray excitedly speaks to us two.

"I didnt know that! Super cool." I respond smiling. Im not all that sure what he said but I want to make him happy.

"So uh, what do you like to do other than cleaning velociraptors?" Zach chuckles and asks. Hes making a move. I like it.

"Well I like to listen to music, and do art. I also play the guitar but that's about it. Im pretty basic." I laugh. Its true, I dont really do much. I use those to escape from home.

"Well you got the pretty part right, but not the basic. Those are cool. I cant even draw a stick figure correctly." Zach jokes and I feel a blush creep on my face when he said that. Hes going all in, and that was really smooth.

"Im sure you could with a little practice." I grab the string of his hoodie and play with it in my fingers. Kinda stupid but it drives men crazy.

"Ew hello?" Gray calls our attention and I realize how close to Zach I am and let go of his hoodie as the Gyro Sphere rolls up. My face feels super warm but I shake it off and let Gray climb in first. I take the middle and Zach takes the seat closest to where we were standing. The pod closes and we all buckle up. We start rolling and then the tv starts talking to us and its Jimmy Fallon? I ignore it and keep watching.

"Where are they?" Gray asks looking around. Almost as if it were on cue, we hear the bellows of a Brontosaurus.

"Oh man." Zach surveys the scene.

"Wow..." I look around at all the beautiful creatures. They are so breathtaking every single time I look at them. We were rolling right next to a bunch of Brontosaurus' and Triceratops. A beep from the monitor brought us back to reality.

"Due to technical difficulties all our exhibits are now closed. Please disembark all rides and return to the resort." An automated voice message reads out, while a picture of a T-Rex skeleton with the words 'RIDE CLOSED' read out. Gray sighs and looks upset at this.

"Come on, no we can stay out a couple more minutes." Zach brushes off the message.

"But they said it was closed." Gray speaks confused.

"Aunt Claire gave us special wristbands, right?We're VIP, dude. Come on. It'll be fun." Zach smiles.

"Yeah it'll be fine!" I encourage. Zach moves the joystick forward and we go faster, causing the dinosaurs to run with us. It really was a magical moment.
