Yaz was taking a run through the jungle after they finally managed to get the jungle and dinosaurs under control. With Norman on the loose, they are still trying to keep an eye out for anything suspicious as Peter and Laura have been checking out the sewers and just about anywhere Norman could be hiding. Jeff was still swimming around in the lake while Ben was watching.
"Oh, really spoiled you with all those berries, huh?" Ben asked Angel and Rebel. "Don't worry. She'll be back soon."
That's when Yaz came running out of the jungle, even leaping over Ben in the process. He let out a squeal as she came to a stop near the water where Laura was.
"You okay, Fadoula?" Laura asked, watching as Yaz burst into laughter.
"Seriously. Now I am getting concerned." Ben admitted. "You okay?"
"We should tell Peter his girlfriend might be broken," Laura said.
"I forgot how good it feels to run," Yaz explained to them with a sigh of relief. I mean, really run. For fun, and not because something is chasing us."
"Can't say I can relate, but I'm glad you had a good time," Ben admitted.
Yaz sighed as she laid down. "Better than good. Being out there gave me the space to be at peace. After all of this madness..."
Laura nodded as she looked around. "Yeah, this place is pretty nice. Is it like this where you're from?"
"Some areas," Ben said. "But it's mostly big cities."
"Yeah, and you're going to have a blast getting a load of that when you get to New York with Peter," Yaz said, noticing the look of concern on Laura's face. "Wait." She then started to sit up. "Are you having second thoughts?"
"I mean... a little," Laura shrugged. "I've always been in the jungle. I know how to live in the jungle. What if I don't want to be a part of that world?"
"It's okay to be scared, Laura, but if you stay here... we would never see you again," Yaz said.
"Is this about Sammy?" Ben asks.
Laura considered her answer and shrugged. "A little. Its hard to admit that I had feelings for her to you guys. I don't know what happens if I told her."
"Laura," Yaz sighed as she sat up. "It wasn't easy for me to tell Peter how I felt. Yet look at where we are now."
Laura seemed to understand and considered the bad things against the good. "Alright... I'm gonna do it." She stated. "I'm gonna tell Sammy how I feel."
Ben gasps as he shoots up, and Yaz sits up with a large grin.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, I'm so happy for you." Ben cheered, rushing over and tried to hug Laura. But she saw that as a threat and immediately drew her claws in self defense. "Whoa! Sorry, sorry." He backed off with his arms raised. "How? When?"
"No idea. I'll just...I'll do it when the time is right, you know?" Laura said, rubbing her arm in nervousness.
They heard distant grunting and looked to see Sammy was dragging meat off in the distance.
"Well, how about now?" Ben asks.
Laura looked over and sighed. Sammy kept dragging the meat to the pile when she heard a snikt, getting her to look up and see Laura.
"Oh, Laura, hey," Sammy said in surprise.
Laura saw there was a pile of meat and tossed it into the pile. There was a roar, getting them to rush over to the side and see the Rexs make their way over so not to make meal out of the other dinos.
