I remained the rest of my lunch break in my bed, scrolling mindlessly through Instagram, when a word pulled me out of my phone. Nublar. I turned up the volume of the TV.

A British blond woman sat behind a big table staring straight into the camera. "...earthquakes were felt on the coast of Costa Rica over the past months, however the activity showed great increase this week. While seismic activity is common in the area, this is the first evidence of activity from the volcano in Isla Nublar. Jackson has the latest."

The camera switched to a middle-aged white man with a sunburn. He was clearly in front of a green screen, because behind him, pictures of people running and evacuating a city were seen. "On Tuesday, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake originated on the Isla Nublar, west of Costa Rica, followed by a 6.6 quake on Wednesday and a 7.1 today. Tsunami alerts were triggered across the Pacific and sent residents fleeing along the west coast of Costa Rica." Pictures of the island as I knew flashed on the screen, mountains covered in green, rocky cliffs, rivers and waterfalls, but then a new image came up, a lot of smoke coming out of the lone mountain on the north of the island.

"Isla Nublar sits on the Ring of Fire of the Pacific, an area prone to seismic activity. Volcanologists previously deemed Mt. Sibo as inactive, but this was clearly proven incorrect over the past months." The image panned closer. "It is still unsure if or when it will erupt, specialists are still working on it, but the matter at hand, Phillipa, is what about the dinosaurs left behind on that island after the Jurassic World incident? I got word that the United Nations will do an emergency meeting regarding the specimens still alive on the island. We will report as the situation develops. Back to you Phillipa."

The initial woman came into frame again and I couldn't stop staring at the TV, my heart beating fast. There was a volcano on Nublar? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to build a dinosaur's park on top of a volcano? What about the dinosaurs? What about Bumpy?

The news wasn't even done with the report when my phone lit up with our group video call. 'Camp Fam' was written on the screen.

I picked up the call right away. And this was the most chaotic video call we had ever had, everybody was talking over each other.

"Guys, guys, guys..." Ben's voice was the first one to come through.

"Are you seeing this?" Kenji asked.

"Y'all..." Sammy cried.

"It's on every channel." Darius said.

"A fucking volcano?" I glanced at the TV.

"This can't be real." Yasmina shook her head.

"Damn, I can't even..." Brooklynn groaned. "Look at this Phillipa lady, she's, like, bored talking about it."

Everyone was on their little square trying to talk as we watched the news together, everybody from their corner of the US. Camp Fam had grown up so much in two years. Kenji was in what seemed to be a bathroom, clearly his lunch got interrupted. Ben looked to be in his room, he had let his hair grow more even than Kenji, and now Ben also had a shallow beard on his chin, we liked to tease him that he looked like a hipster college student still in high school. Darius looked much the same, just a new haircut, a kinda square with a fade. Sammy and Yasmina were exactly the same, and Brooklynn was the one who changed the most. She still had her pink hair, but it was cut short on a pixie cut; it made her look more mature, and it really suited her.
