Taking their seats, Tyler made sure both of the boys were on either side of her. This way, Gray couldn't annoy Zach, and hopefully she could keep Zach off of his phone. The show would be starting soon, so she hunkered down and faced the large tank of water.
"This is going to be so cool!" Gray announced with a smile on his face.
Chuckling and crossing her legs Tyler nodded. "It usually is, and if you want after I can take you backstage to see it up even closer."
"What?! You can do that?!" The boy seemingly exploded.
Tyler just nodded as suddenly the woman began speaking. Immediately she recognized the trainer as Jill. "Hello everyone! And Welcome to the Mosasaurous show!" As Jill continued on talking about the random facts of the Mosasaurous, Tyler looked to her right to see Zach glued to his phone again.
A picture of a blond girl filled the screen and he was staring at it intently. "Girlfriend?" she leaned over and asked him.
At first he was caught off guard at her snooping. "Kind of... I don't know it's complicated."
Tyler shrugged. "It's best if your just straight forward with a girl bud, it ends up going a long ways with them. Now you might want to put it away, just a warning." She pointed forward towards the shark that was being lowered towards the water.
"Now let's see if she's hungry after already eating today." Jill called out.
Zach slipped his phone into his pocket all while keeping his eyes on Tyler. Quickly though, his attention was torn away from her tanned skin when a screeching beast barreled out of the water. It lept through the water and snatched up the great white for its mid afternoon snack. Once back in the water though, the wave crashed forward and all over the three soaking them head to toe.
A laughter exploded from Gray causing everyone around him to join in after. inch by inch they were lowered under water to look through the glass as the swimming mososaurous. "88 teeth!" the young boy clarified.
Chuckling Tyler looked to her side with to catch eyes with Zach. "The past doesn't have to go away Zach, because the best stories, are ones that come back in the end. Not the ones that truly go extinct. your girl will come around, as long as you want her too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three had spoken to Jill, gotten an inside look at the Mos., and already eaten lunch. While at the table though, Gray caught ear of Tyler's name being said over the speakers. They were announcing the new and upcoming attraction of the raptor show. Her brother and herself were the only trainers to put it on. The Raptors really wouldn't respond to anyone else.
"So you train the Raptors?" Zach pulled his gaze away from a group of girls to lock eyes with her.
Taking a swig of her water Tyler nodded. "Kind of, really just one. Her name is Echo. My brother trains the rest."
"How'd you meet them?" Gray asked.
"Ugh, well Owen and I were there for their hatching, so they kind of imprinted on us. But Echo-" A smile spread across her lips. "Echo saw me first, crawled right from her shell and into my hair. Been obsessed with it ever since." She fiddled lightly with her golden locks.
Zach swallowed as Gray spoke up. "It is shiney."
the soft wind moved each strand like a dance. "Thanks Gray. Now come on, lets head out. We still got a lot more to see for one day."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyler sat across from Gray and Zach in the train. Just like normal Zach's eyes would wander to stray girls among the train, but this time Tyler could see something different in young Gray's eyes. Then he did it, the young boy spoke. "Mom and dad are getting a divorce aren't they?"
Zach was caught off guard. "What? No! Why would you say that?"
"They are. You see how they act around one another. They get mail from two different lawyers."
"So what, that could mean anything?"
"I googled them, their divorce lawyers." Gray cut Zach off.
The older brother fell silent looking at his younger brother. "Okay? So what if they are?! That just means you get two of everything. Two birthdays, Two christmas's."
"I don't want two of everything..."
Rolling his eyes Zach huffed. "All of my friend's parents are divorced, it happens! Look, there is a time that you need to grow up. So stop crying. Everything will be fine."
Tyler immediately shot Zach a cold look. Then, even though it wasn't any of her business, she tried comforting the boy. "Look Gray..." She called getting his attention. "You can't get all worked up over it, it'll just hurt worse. Even if they do get a divorce, you'll still have them around... Think of the up sides."
"What upsides is there to that?" Gray asked. "I want my family together... I don't know what would happen if they weren't."
A huff drew from Tyler's lips as she looked out the window. Both boy's could see her expression change. It was almost as if all her emotions shut down. "You move on..."
There was a long silence, the tracks of the train echoing through the chatter filled cart. "What do you mean Tyler?" Zach finally asked.
A slight grin spread across her lips as she shook her head. Then, finally, she sat forward and leaned towards Gray. "Look kid, do you like me?"
At first they were both confused, but then Gray answered. "Yes."
"Do I seem like a good person? Like I got it all together?" This time Gray didn't answer, instead they both just stared at her. "Well I don't. Or at least I didn't. I grew up without parent's." Immediately both of their heart's sank. "But I think I turned out alright." Nothing more was said by the brothers, instead Tyler kept talking as the train rolled to a stop. "I took care of myself Gray, and even though you have your brother here, you can do the same. But you don't have to, because Zach is still, your mom is still here, and so is your dad. And even though they aren't always together, that doesn't mean that they love you any less. Trust me, things could be a lot worse than just a divorce." With that she rose to her feet and filed out with the other passengers.
Zach and Gray both watched her go as she did so. Eventually they were forced to follow her though.
Soon enough Gray was back into the groove of the dinosaurs forgetting about the conversation from earlier. But Zach, Tyler's words stuck in his head like glue. She grew up alone...?Suddenly he wanted to know more about this Jurassic Employee. Zach wanted to know more about the Raptor trainer, Zach wanted to know the real Tyler Grady.
