 Kenji whimpers as he too spots the multiple other Velociraptors coming forward.

"It's okay, it's okay... we're okay..." Darius comforts, looking around for a way out of this.

"Kenji," Darius turns around and points at the ground by Kenji's feet, "Those bones, check for a raptor skull." He instructs carefully.

Kenji looks around at the scattered bones helplessly, "What??" He whines in confusion.

Y/N and Brooklyn spot Dave and Roxie pulling up in the Jeep and wave them down.

Roxie approaches the control box the two teens had been trying to figure out and quickly flicks on a switch.

With this, all the lights around the enclosure turn on, startling the dinos.

"Hey! Come and get it!" Roxie yells from the balcony as she throws down slabs of raw meat for the velociraptors.

Most of them quickly run after it, but the original one is locked onto Kenji and Darius.

"Get out of there!" Roxie shouts at the boys, who are frozen in fear.

Just as they think they're about to get eaten, Dave grabs them both by the arm and tugs them back. The divider gate closes and they're safe from the dinosaur.

Kenji and Darius sit on the ground, panting.

Once Darius and Kenji are safe with Dave, more Jeeps pull up and rush the enclosure.

Roxie brings Brooklyn and Y/N safely down the steps.

They come down to see Dave hunched over, throwing up.

Roxie runs up to them to make sure they're okay.

Kenji tries to walk away but Roxie grabs him by the shoulder, "Woah, woah. Where do you think you're going!?"

Roxie wears a stern expression; all the kids can tell they're in some serious trouble.

"You and Darius are in big trouble." She informs.

Brooklyn and Y/N share a glance.

"But- I, he- he was!" Darius tried to defend, but Roxie shut him down.

"Save it. We'll decide what to do with you later." She released Kenji and crossed her arms.

"If you even get to remain here after a stunt like this." She shakes her head in disappointment.

They all slowly and solemnly make their way to the Jeep, Darius hanging back for a moment.

Back at camp, Brooklyn and Y/N are sent to their bunks, while Kenji and Darius are told to stay back.

Y/N and Brooklyn had a silent elevator ride and an almost silent walk to the room before Brooklyn spoke up, "Hey, uhm... I'm sorry about earlier."

Y/N pauses his steps to look at her, he speaks slowly, "None of it was your fault. It was all Kenji being a stupi-"

"No," She cut him off, "I mean on the ride to camp. I felt bad about all the, 'how many followers, we should collab' stuff." She sighs.

"I'm not really good at, y'know, the regular talk stuff. And Sammy said she was a fan. I didn't want to put down the facade." She admits, much to Y/N's confusion.

"Why do you even put one up in the first place?" He questions.

Brooklyn stands there in thought for a moment, which Y/N takes as an invitation to walk away.

He leaves Brooklyn in the hall.

The next morning, Roxie and Dave take everyone outside to... stand in front of a big pile of dino poop?
