Shane's POV
(Aeroporto Juan Santamaria)

An American Airlines Boeing 757 touches down on the tarmac in Costa Rica.

(Costa Rican Dock)

Gray, Zach  and I are among hundreds of people boarding a ferry for Isla Nublar. The boarding ramps have Jurassic World logos on them.

"How big is the island?" Gray asks.

"Big." I answer because Zach was was on his phone.

"But how many pounds?" Gray asks.

"That doesn't make sense." Zach says. Look who is focused now.

(Ocean)

The ferry sails across the water. Gray, Zach and I stand at the rail.

"When they first opened, they had eight species. Now they have fourteen herbivores and six carnivores. That's like fifty tons of food a week." Gray says.

Zach isn't paying attention, smiling at some pretty teenage girls on a lower deck. A few minutes later, Isla Nublar comes into view and the ferry sails towards it.

(Isla Nublar Dock)

All of us disembark from the ship along with the other passengers. A Park Announcer's voice is heard over a P.A. system.

"Welcome to Isla Nublar, home of Jurassic World. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable stay with us." The Park Annoucer says.

We all stop as the announcement repeats in another language, seeing Zara Young, a bored-looking woman wearing sunglasses, holding a sign with their names on it. They don't recognize her.

"Where's Aunt Claire?" Gray asks.

Zach looks sullen and doesn't reply. The three of us trudge over to meet Zara. A large monorail system which traverses the park is seen in the background.

(Train)

The brothers and I are seated side by side in the lead car of the train running along the monorail. Zach continues looking sullen and bored, brossing his arms. A gleeful Gray grins and elbows him but doesn't get a response. The ever watchful Zara, having removed her shades, is sitting behind them. A Monorail Announcer is heard over the interior speakers.

"Okay, those of you in the front of the train should be able to see our main gate, built from the gate of the original park, over twenty years ago." The Monorail announced says.

Excited, Gray leaps up and runs to the front and watches as the train approaches the main entrance to the park. It greatly resembles that of the original Jurassic Park, complete with lit torches, except it reads "JURASSIC WORLD" in large blue letters. The doors creak open, allowing the train to pass through.

(Monorail Hub)

Gray rushes excitedly through the crowd.

"Please obey all park rules. Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times." The Park Announcer says.

Gray gasps at everything he sees. The glum-looking Zach follows a little ways behind, Zara walking beside him, having some difficulty keeping pace with him. She checks her wristwatch.

"Zach, try being a little excited for your brother, Gray." I said.

"Your aunt arranged to meet you at one o'clock. (annoyed) Can he slow down?" Zara asks.

"Nope." Zach and I say in unsion.

Gray has already gotten on a nearby escalator and gestures excitedly to them.

"Come on!" Gray says excitedly.

(Hotel Room)

Zara opens the door and enters a lavish-looking hotel room with the us entering behind her.

"Your aunt's got you VIP access. So you can get on all the rides without waiting in line." Zara says.

Gray is impatient, futzing with the big screen TV.

"Let's go!" Grays says.

Zach, looking at his iPhone, goes and flops down on the bed.

"Dude, she said we had to wait." Zach says.

"I don't wanna wait anymore!" Gray says.

He runs and opens the windows, looking out at the park. Beyond the hotel room balcony, we see John Hammond's dream come true as the sun burns bright onto Jurassic World and built beside the fences of the Mosasaur Lagoon stands the Monorail. Standing big and proud, The Innovation Center can be seen from afar along with Main Street below it with massive amounts of tourists walking back and forth to each attractional building and we pass the roof the innovation center, we see a quick shot of the Helipad.

Sorry, that this chapter is short. Nothing really interesting happens here. In the near future, I will try to make the chapter a bit longer. Enjoy the story.
