"Hey Lex, where is that volcanic cave again? The Sampson Cave. A visitor is asking." Chase asked in the museum common link as I walked towards Dino Bite Cafe.

"About 15 miles off of the city. It's where we found the T-Rex fossil. Don't forget to meet me at the cafe." I reminded him. I walked into the cafe and told Shelby, the waitress, my order. Shelby and I talked quite often, she seemed so interested in dinosaurs and wanted in on digs a lot, but after the incident on finding my energem a few months back, Kendall decided that whenever the 3 of us go on digs to look for energems we shouldn't take anybody else. We don't want to risk any innocent civilians getting hurt. I sat patiently in Dino Bite Cafe waiting for Chase, cause he agreed to let me drive the truck to our next digging site if I bought him some food. Chase finally walked into the cafe and he walked over to me.

"I see you bought me some food." He said, sitting down.

"You better hold up your promise about letting me drive the truck, or your skateboard will get it." I threatened him, just incase he backs out at the last minute. He passed me the truck's keys, holding up his end of the deal. I grinned and noticed Chase watching Shelby.

"She keeps glancing over here. Maybe she finally wants to go on a date." Chase commented cockily and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't count on it." I said. "Come on, Kendall wants us to leave soon to check out the triceratops fossil." I said as Chase finished up. We walk out of the cafe and pulled on headphones and I put in my earbuds, but I kept one out of an ear so I could still hear the surroundings around me. Chase pushed a cart filled with equipment we needed for our dig and I walked next to him, spinning the truck keys around a finger.

"Chase, Alexa! Wait up!" I heard Shelby shout and I stopped walking and grabbed Chase's arm to catch his attention. I jerked my head towards Shelby, signaling the approaching girl. Chase stopped walking as well and took his headphones off. I tugged my earbuds off as well and let them lay around the back of my neck.

"Hey Sheri, are you bringing me a present?" Chase asked, glancing at the brown paper bag in her hand.

"It's Shelby." Shelby corrected Chase and I gave her a smile. "So Chase, Alexa. Going fossil hunting?" Shelby asked, looking over the stuff we had on the cart. I nodded, answering her question.

"Yup," I started. "It's supposed to be a great find." Shelby picked up the tablet off of the cart, that had a picture of the triceratops fossil that we were going to go check out in hopes to find the pink energem.

"The triceratops! You're both digging up my favorite dinosaur. See it's right here." Shelby said and motioned to her Dino Bite Cafe name tag that had her name and a silhouette of a triceratops printed on it.

"Let's cut to the chase, and go catch a movie." Chase asked and I rolled my eyes at the pick up line.

"Does that line work on New Zealand girls?" Shelby asked, clearly shutting him down.

"Nope, doesn't work on them either." Chase replied and continued to push the cart. I walked with him.

"Instead of a movie, why don't you take me on the dig?" Shelby asked Chase, following the both of us towards the loading deck where Koda was lifting up boxes and putting them in the truck.

"Sorry, no can do. Museum policy." Chase answered her question.

"Sorry Shelby." I apologized to her and ran to catch up with Chase. I glanced back over my shoulder and saw Shelby approach Koda with the brown paper bag. I smiled when Koda grabbed the bag and ate the bronto burger. Shelby sighed and sat down on a big crate. Koda picked up the crate easily and loaded it up on the truck. Kendall walked out and I helped her with the things she gave me to load up on the truck.

"I think your party in booth four is missing a dinner roll, and no you can't come. Museum policy." Kendall told Shelby, not even letting her ask if she could come.

"Triceratops head grew up to be seven feet long. Only two of horns were really bone. One was just a ligament. Give me a shot Miss Morgan, please?" Shelby pleaded. "I know as much about dinosaurs as anyone on your crew." Shelby said, motioning to the three of us. Kendall glanced over to Chase and Koda, Chase was balancing his skateboard in his head and Kuda was licking his fingers.

"For your information, Chase and Koda are very highly trained museum personnel." Kendall started, but Shelby cut her off.

"Well, they hide it pretty well." Shelby said, talking about the boys and glanced at the two boys.

"Besides Alexa knows a lot more about dinosaurs then you can imagine." Kendall finished her thought and I smiled at the compliment.

"We should be leaving now." I said and Kendall nodded and shooed Shelby away. I climbed into the driver's seat of the truck and waited for Chase and Koda to get in truck.
