Lainey Blake
"Wake up, wake up sleeping dino its time!" Dad yell, pulling off my blanket. I groan and rub my sleepy eyes. "What time?"
"Its today, honey. Now go get ready and I'll make breakfast." Dad said.

Oh, right. Almost forgot.

"Can't I sleep 5 more minutes?" I whine.

"Nope, come on cheer up a bit!"

"Fine." I said, before throwing a pillow at Dad as I went out from bed and get ready.

~*~*~

I adjust my blue bandanna that I tied around my head as I seat properly beside Dad in the chopper. Mr.Hammond said to wear something comfy so I wear a denim shirt,leaving the buttons off, tuck in, rolled the sleeves to my forearm and tied it around my waist like Ellie did with a black tank top underneath, short khakis and combat boots. I tied my hair to a side braided ponytail and a blue bandanna around my head. And Dad is wearing a navy blue plaid shirt, rolled the sleeves to his elbows, tan pants and boots.

I check my camera to make sure they're working and I heard Mr.Hammond introduce me, Alan, Ellie and Dad to a lawyer Donald Gennaro, who represents Mr.Hammond's investors and a mathematician Dr.Ian Malcolm.

"So you guys uh...dig dinosaur bones?" Ian ask. "Yes we are." Alan answer, rather annoyed. Ian suddenly laughs weirdly and we all look at him like a freak. "Don't mind Dr.Malcolm here he suffers from deplorable excess of personality, espcially for a mathematician." Mr.Hammond shakes his head. "I bring scientists and what did you bring Gennaro? You bring a rockstar."

"Chaos, Mr.Hammmond! Have you ever heard of chaos theory, Dr.Sattler?" Ian ask. Ellie let out a disbelief chuckle and hide her face at Alan's shoulder and shake her head. He look at my direction and I'm trying to ignore him by occupying on my camera. "How about you kid?" I clench my fist. "First of all, the name's Lainey and second, I'm 15 and certainly not a KID." I emphasized the word 'kid'. "Feisty one I see." Dad rubs my shoulders to calm me down. "Easy there kiddo."

"We're finally here." Mr.Hammond said. I look outside and below us are the blue sea as we fly to an island. "We're landing down and it could be a bumpy ride so hold on tight people." I see everyone start buckling on their seatbelts. Except the fact Alan got both buckles and decide to tie it instead.

The chopper lands on the helipad,me and Dad wear our sunglasses. Two jeeps already there, Alan, Ellie and Ian get in the first one and me and Dad end up with Mr.Hammond and Gennaro.

Along the drive, Gennaro kept saying to Mr.Hammond that he needs to ensure the park is safe and kept asking question about the security and so on. "Can't you ignore your work and enjoy this trip for the weekend?" Mr.Hammond said. Dad and I snicker from behind hearing their conversation.

"Dr.Blake, Lainey, are you enjoying the trip?" Mr.Hammond ask us. "I can't wait to see what you did, sir. "I smile warmly while Dad nod. "Can I take pictures Mr.Hammond? If you don't mind." I ask, showing my camera around my neck. "Oh, I don't mind at all Lainey." I clap my hands excitedly. "See Gennaro, everyone are enjoying it." Gennaro just look away.

Few minutes driving, Mr.Hammond orders the drivers to stop at an open green field. I furrowed my eyebrows. "Why are we stopping here?" Mr.Hammond chuckles. "Just wait and see Ms.Blake." I see Dad is busy reading the pamphlet, mumbling on his own.

I look at my left and that's when I saw it. I rose up from my seat, holding on to the jeep balancing myself. I pulled off my sunglasses. In the other jeep Alan also saw it. I lift Dad's head to get his attention. "Lainey, what are you doing? You should hear this about the Creteacous period its amazing-" He also stop when he saw it.

I literally jump out from the jeep with the camera around my neck and slowly walk to the creature. I heard Dad calling me to wait but I ignore it and he, Alan and Ellie following me from behind.

I stop and look up. It's a freaking Brachiosaurus! "Dad, are you seeing this?" I said, still looking at the Brachiosaurus walking to a tall tree. "We all do Lainey." He reply, standing beside me. Still ignoring the pain from looking up, I held the camera and snap a few times of it.

Alan won't stop rambling about it. "I'm right. I'm right this whole time!!"
"It's a warm blooded animal! I'm right." Alan kept saying. "I take it that you guys like it." Mr.Hammond said, walking to our direction with a cane on his hand. "Like it? I absolutely love it!" I squeal, Dad patting my shoulder."Glad you love it Lainey." Mr.Hammond beams.

I lay on my stomach on the grass, taking pictures of the enormous dinosaur. "How tall it is?" I heard Alan ask. "Approximately 23-30 feet." Mr.Hammond said. "How fast it is?" Dad ask. "Well we calculate the T-Rex is 32 miles per hour." Mr.Hammond said casually. "Did I heard you right?A T-REX?!!" I look at Mr.Hammond from my shoulder. "Your hearing is fine Lainey." Mr.Hammond chuckle.

"T-T-T-Rex? You have a T-Rex?" Ellie ask. Alan grab Mr.Hammond's shoulder. "Say it again." He barely whispers. "We  have a T-Rex." Mr.Hammond smiles. "Keep your head between your knees, honey." Ellie said to Alan, who's trying to absorb the fact that Mr.Hammond have a T-Rex.

"Take the pictures while it last Lainey , because you'll never get the chance to take it in the future." Mr.Hammond crouch down next to me, observing me laying on my stomach focus on the camera. "Already doing it Mr.Hammond." I grin widely.

Ellie and Dad now on the ground with Alan who's now calmer than before. "What is this place?" Dad look at Mr.Hammond, who's already standing up.

"Dr.Grant, Dr.Sattler, Dr.Blake, my dear Lainey, welcome to Jurassic Park." Mr.Hammond said.

Still in my position, I watch as more Brachiosaurus in the water together in a herd with other herbivores such as Stegosaurus.

"They're moving in a herd. They really are moving in a herd. You see that, guys." Alan watch in awe.

"This is incredible. Scientifically it is entirely impossible dinosaurs to exist in our world now." I stare the dinosaurs.

"How Mr.Hammond!? Exactly how??" Dad ask, wide eyes.

"How did you do this?" Alan ask, looking at the calm Mr.Hammond who won't stop grinning.

"I'll show you." He said coolly.

Well he better! OMG is this a dream I'm having or it really is real?I mentally slap myself few times, realizing that it is happening right in front of my eyes!
