"I call people by their full names when I don't like them."

The trio were sitting in the gyrosphere, watching the small screen in front of them as Jimmy Fallon spoke to them about the safety surrounding the weird vehicle we were in. Elle tried her best to ignore the fact that Zach was leaning on her leg because it was really starting to get on her nerves. 

She watched as Jimmy Fallon fell over. She rolled her eyes, glancing away. 

"Where are they?" Gray demanded. 

As he spoke Elle heard the familiar noise of the dinosaurs. 

"Oh man," Zach gasped. 

"Amazing right?" Elle questioned. "I watched them grow up."

"You're so lucky," Gray voiced, bouncing in his seat. 

"Yeah, I am," she breathed. 

It was moments like this that made Elle remember what it meant to be a Jurassic World employee. She worked with the impossible and she felt incredibly lucky. 

Their awe was interrupted by an alert on the screen telling them to turn back around due to technical difficulties. 

Elle noticed Gray's face fall. 

"Come on, we can stay out a couple more minutes," Zach told.

"But they said it was closed," Gray argued. 

"Maybe we should-"

"Aunt Claire gave us special wristbands, right? We're VIP, dude. Come on. It'll be fun," Zach convinced. 

"Zachary, this is not a good idea. I am all for breaking rules but this is actually serious and I don't say that a lot," Elle informed.

"Let loose a little," he replied, squeezing her thigh. 

"Touch me again and you'll be tasting my boots for the rest of your holiday," she threatened. 

He laughed, holding his hands up in surrender before he continued controlling the vehicle. 

As they kept going Elle's phone began to vibrate. 

"Claire, hey," she greeted.

"Where...you?" 

"In the gyrosphere," she answered. 

"Get...now...dinosaur."

"Claire I can't hear you, I'll call you back later," Elle responded, hanging up. She turned to Zach. "She sounded panicked, maybe we should go back," she suggested. 

"Live a little," Zach laughed. 

"God, you're irritating," she muttered, leaning backwards. 

Zach's phone then began to vibrate.
