Jurassic World: Chaos Theory

Free Fall

14 months ago:

Yaz is breathing heavily. She's taking deep breaths in and deep breaths out, trying to calm herself down. She opened her eyes and a large dinosaur eye was the first thing she saw. She started getting nightmares again of dinosaurs creeping up to her and hunting her. "Okay. Alright." She tried to calm down and walked closer to herbivore. Once she placed her hand on it, the nightmares took over, but she didn't let that stop her. She calmed down and opened her eyes and started to see the reality. Nothing happened. The looked at the head and the Stegosaurus just looked at her with no reaction.

"Whoa," someone else comes, watching Yaz do what she feared, "That was amazing!"

"Thanks. I wouldn't go that far, but it's a procress."

Brooklyn talks to the Stegosaurus with a babyish voice, "Yaz is being too hard on herself, is she? Yes she is."

Yaz gave a fake annoyed look, "What did we say about that baby talk?"

Brooklyn remembered, "Oh right. My bad."

"I thought I was done with dinosaurs once we left the island, but they follow me back here. I was fine before. Why is it so hard again?"

Brooklyn tried to feel Yaz's pain, "I know. I don't think ANYONE thought this would be our lives. It's hard to adapt to a world that's different than what you thought it'd be."

"I'm just glad you found this place. I've never heard of Dino Immersion Therapy before but clearly, I'm their target demographic."

Brooklyn realized something was off with who Yaz chose to call over, "It's not like I don't LOVE hanging out with you but is there any reason I'M here and not Sammy?"

Yaz explained, "Honestly, I'm working really hard to get my anxiety in check but Sammy still treats me like a fragile flower. But I really think this new college program in Wyoming will be good for the two of us. Hopefully, she'll see the progress I'm making once I'm there, you know?"

"Totally."

"Unless I'm tricking myself into THINKING I'm better but in reality, I'm a total mess."

"If YOU'RE a total mess, there's NO hope for the rest of us." Brooklyn turned to the Stegosaurus, "Isn't that wight widdle... girl."

The two girls share a laugh.

Present time:

Sammy tried to call Yaz again. In the van, Ben played rock music and started scatting. "🎵 Sammy's on a phone call. Trying to all her girlfriend, but her girlfriend won't pick up!🎵"

"Do you mind?" Sammy asked.

"🎵 Come on, Yasmina. Pick up! 🎵" Then he started scatting more.

Yaz picked up, "Sammy?"

"Oh my god, Yaz?" Sammy tried to get Ben to stop.

"Um, excuse you." Then he screamed, "🎵 YASMINA!!! 🎵"

Sammy felt really embarrassed, "Uh, Ben? Yaz is on the phone."

Ben didn't realize Sammy actually meant it, "🎵 Yasmina's on the phone! 🎵"

Yaz tried again, "Sammy?"

"Oh, hi. It's so good to hear your voice. It's been a while."

"You know how school gets. I actually just finished a big project I've been working on."
