All I Wanted (Zach Mitchell)

3

We have been rolling around the plains for a good 5 minutes and have seen nothing yet. I was stuck in between the brothers, watching a video with Jimmy Fallon on safety of the Gyrosphere. I was giggling so much, it made the boys start laughing.

"You laugh really easily, you know," Zach said, chuckling. I cross my arms playfully.

"I do not," I say, shaking my head. They both look at me with 'are you kidding me' looks.

I grumble and uncross my arms. "Okay, fine, I do," I confess, and they laugh and high-five in victory over my head.

"Due to technical difficulty, all rides are closed. Please embark back to docking station," The screen said, cutting Jimmy Fallon off.

Gray sighs in disappointment. I look over at Zach who had a thoughtful face on.

"We can stay on a couple more minutes," He says, pushing the stick forward making the ball move.

"I-I don't know Zach, it said we should go back,"  Gray says, looking at his brother .

"Aunt Claire gave us these VIP bracelets for a reason," Zach emphasises, taking my wrist and holding it up. 

I swear, I felt bolts of electricity shoot through my arm. Zach drops my hand when Gray doesn't respond and moves the ball.

"I don't have a very good feeling about this," I whisper, wiping my hands on my thighs nervously.

"Calm down, I've got you," Zach says, resting his hand on mine, continuing to steer. I feel a nudge from my right and look down to see Gray smirking.

Zach's phone rings, and mine does as well. 

"It's Claire," He says, answering it.

I pull mine out to see it's my best friend, Owen.

"Hey Owen, what's up?" I answer, looking over at Gray.

"Where are you?" He asks, a bit of panic in his voice. I look over to see Zach putting his phone away. His call must have dropped.

"I'm in the Gyrosphere with Claire's nephews, why?" I ask, but all I get is some words and static. Then, the call dropped.

"That was weird," I mutter, putting my phone away. Zach nods in agreement, taking off in the ball again.

We roll up to a restricted area gate broken, open to anyone who wanted to walk on through. 

"Guys, off road," He says, looking between me and his brother. His hand was still on mine, so there was a light rose tint to my cheeks.

I look at Zach with a timid look on my face, and he squeezes my hand.

Gray shakes his head. "No, I think we should go back," I nod in agreement.

He sighs and removes hand looks at us. "I'm just worried you guys aren't getting the full Jurassic Park experience," I look at my sneakers and Gray sighs.

I look up to him holding a finger to his lips and making the ball roll forward once again.

"We shouldn't be here Zach," I say shakily, looking around. I could almost hear him roll his eyes, and he ignores me. I felt Gray grip my hand, and I squeeze it in reassurance.

We roll up of four Ankylosaurus eating quietly. I smile a little.

"See? Four dinosaurases," He says, unsure of him self. I giggle, looking at him.

"First, they are Ankylosaurus, Second, there are 5," Gray says.

I furrow my eyebrows and look at Zach in confusion, his expression matching mine.

"Aren't you supposed to be a genius or something? There's four," Zach asks.

"See? One, Two, Three, Four," I explain, pointing at each one.

"Five.." Gray whispers, and just as he does, a set of teeth were revealed in the reflection of the Hamster ball. 

All three of us turn around to see what looked to be a T-Rex, but bigger, more teeth, and white scales.

"DRIVE!" I scream, turning back around quickly.

But it was too late, as we were kicked around like a game of Pinball. All three of us were screaming at the top of our lungs, and somehow Zach's hand found mine, and we were holding on to each other for dear life. 

Suddenly we stopped, hanging upside down. The dinosaur was attacking the others, and I immediately covered Gray's eyes.

"We're safe in here, right?" Gray whispers.

"Yeah," I choke out in a whisper.

Then, Claire decides to call Zach, which is phone was at the bottom of the ball vibrating.

I whimper, as Zach tried reaching for his phone.

"Zach," I whisper in fear.

"Almost got it," He says.

"Zach, look," Gray whispers.

We both look up to lock eyes with a deadly yellow one. It was too late.
