Friend or Foe?

[Y/N POV]

The door whirrs shut as we enter it.

What are we thinking?

We walk though the white hallway.
Brooklyn spots a door on the side and she and Kenji run to it.

"Guys, come on." Darius follows them

We approach the door. On the side, a tablet showing a screen with a red lock on it beeps at us, as Brooklyn swipes it once with the tip of her thumb.

The door opens revealing a jungle just like Nublar's

A wave of nostalgia hits me, and I stagger back a little.

(birds chirping)

Entering the forest with open mouths, we look around in wonder and bewilderment.

What the—?

"Guys, do you remember how, like, five minutes ago, we were in a desert?" Brooklyn mumbles

Ben grips my hand even tighter, and I give him a reassuring squeeze.

"What the heck is this place?"
Sammy asks

(ground rumbles)

"No. It can't be." I mumble. Turning to Ben, I say, "It sounds like Toro's footsteps."

Ben frowns and nods, agreeing.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that feels like a..."

(dinosaur snorting)

My head snaps up and I spot a foot stomp out.

The T-Rex roars at us loudly.

"Oh no!"

Everyone except for me and Yaz run away. Both of us freeze in our spots.
Ben notices and pulls us both just in time.

"You have got kidding me!" Kenji yells

We duck behind some boulders as the T-Rex stomps past us, shaking the ground terribly.

A second, smaller T-Rex emerges.

"What." I whisper-shout

They both roar at each other and start fighting. We hide behind some trees and Brooklyn covers her ears

"Does every island have dinosaurs now?" I yelp

"Let's ask her." Ben points

A dark-skinned woman with curly black hair in a ponytail holds a laptop. She is wearing cargo jeans, a white shirt, and has black glasses on her head.

I unconsciously touch my own glasses on my head and frown.

The woman turns around and types something on the tablet, with a sandwich in her mouth.

"Who's that?" Caleb whispers loudly

Her head snaps up and she runs to us. "You're trespassing. What are you up to?"

She gasps. "Are you here to spy?"

Kenji rolls his eyes sarcastically. "Yeah. We're an elite band of teenage secret agents."

"Are you crazy?!" Brooklyn says to her.
"You're eating a sandwich in the middle of a T-Rex fight!"

"First of all, they're not fighting. They're pla—"

"Playing!" Darius exclaims excitedly. "Cranio facial biting! It's true!"

"Uh, yes." The woman says. "Don't change the subject."
