The Forbidden Dino Island (Apply and interactive fic)

#1

The year is 3045, and humanity lives in a dazzling, tech-dominated world. 

Towering skyscrapers made of transparent materials float above the ground, connected by sky bridges.

 Hover cars zip past on invisible highways, while AI-driven robots manage everything from traffic control to personal errands. 

Public spaces are patrolled by security drones, their blue lights flashing through the smog-free air.

In this futuristic world, people wear sleek, form-fitting suits equipped with holographic displays that allow them to interact with digital information. 

The café Rose sits in is run entirely by robots, each one customized for specific tasks—some serve drinks with mechanical precision, while others monitor the environment, adjusting the temperature or light based on the patrons' preferences.

Rose sits in a corner, watching a holographic screen floating above her table, her long blonde hair reflecting the neon glow of the city. 

Rose sat in a small, futuristic café, sipping her coffee as the soft hum of robots working nearby blended with the sounds of the city outside. 

The world had changed so much by 3045, with technology embedded in every part of daily life.

 Holographic menus, self-driving vehicles, and robotic assistants were the norm.

 The sleek, shiny buildings around her were a testament to the advancements in architecture and engineering.

As she gazed out the window, her attention was caught by a girl sitting a few tables away, speaking in a hushed but excited tone on her phone. 

Rose couldn't help but eavesdrop as the girl's words cut through the buzz of the café.

"...dinosaurs, I swear. There's something about that island. It's real, and I think we can find it..."

Rose's heart skipped a beat. Dinosaurs? In this world of towering skyscrapers and flying cars, talk of something so ancient was absurd—or was it?

She leaned in, pretending to be absorbed in her drink, but every fiber of her being was focused on the girl's conversation.

The girl sighed, frustration evident as she hung up the phone and placed it on the table. 

Rose, curiosity piqued, stood up and walked over.

 She approached with a casual smile, leaning slightly toward the girl.

"Hey, I couldn't help but overhear..." Rose began, her voice light but intrigued. "Did you just say something about dinosaurs?"

The girl looked up, startled for a moment, then quickly composed herself. "Yeah... dinosaurs. But you wouldn't believe it."

Rose's eyes sparkled with interest. "Try me."

Ava Chen glanced up at Rose, hesitation flickering across her face before she gave a small nod.

 "I'm Ava," she introduced herself. "And yeah, dinosaurs. But it's not a joke. My friend Neha... she found something. A journal. It talks about a place called the Forbidden Dino Island."

Rose's eyes widened in surprise, her intrigue deepening. "Forbidden Dino Island? That sounds insane. Is this for real?"

Ava leaned forward, her voice dropping to a whisper. "More real than you'd believe. Neha's parents... they were paleontologists. They wrote everything about it."

Rose leaned in, fascinated. "A journal? So... what does it say about this island? Is it some kind of hidden place?"

Ava nodded, glancing around cautiously. "Neha believes it holds answers. It's not just about dinosaurs—it's something bigger. Her parents found clues, evidence, but they were silenced before they could reveal anything."
