I own nothing except for Birdie and my small bit of added plot to the movie.

"Let's go Remy, time to give them all a show." I said to the large T-Rex in front of me. She reared her large head and let out a loud roar.

"That's the spirit." I said.

I walked to the in closed room off to the side of the paddock where I could watch her. The audience was antsy to see Remy eat her snack.

Most thought I was crazy for going into the enclosure with her but I knew she wouldn't harm me. Not only do we share a special bond but she also wouldn't dare harm me. She knows the amount of damage I can do to her. We have a mutual respect for each other.

"That's still by far the scariest and most insane thing I've ever seen. Even if you do it daily." My coworker Brad said.

"Nah, I've done more dangerous things before." I said.

"That right there is a hard thought to comprehend. How can anything be more dangerous than playing with a very alive, very dangerous killer dinosaur?" Myra, the security of Remy's paddock, asked.

"Well, that would take a lot of explaining and I only have a twenty minute break and I'd like to eat in that time." I said grabbing the keys and bag before walking out.

This had been my routine for a very long while. Eat, Remy, Eat, Remy, Sleep. That was my life for the last ten years in a nutshell. Occasionally I would be consulted for a new 'asset'.

I hated when they used that word. To all the managers they may just be numbers but for the trainers these were animals and half the times the dinosaurs formed a bond with their trainers and vise versa. Like how Remy and I were… friends I guess, there's the raptor trainer Owen Grady who became the Alpha of the raptor pack, some trainers gain a parental role in their dinosaurs lives, and there was others who simply trained their dinosaurs without a second thought.

And as I mentioned before there are the people in this park who only cared about the money and not the animals. A large population think that dinosaurs aren't animals because they're too big and scary. Or because they killed so many people. I really hate people like that. It's like how people think sharks are such horrible creatures. That they kill everything, which of course is a lie. You're more likely to die from a lightning strike than from a shark attack. But I'm getting off topic here.

I had few friends on the island in all honesty. I kept mostly to myself save for a few friends I'd made. Clarisse was actually my roommate for a while. And what was once a forced friendship became a lifelong one. She actually introduced me to my best friend/bain of my existence Owen Grady. He was such an asshole sometimes and way too cocky for his own good. Though I should really stop making him seem so bad. We have had our fun times together (Not in that way you dirty minded). We joke around constantly. I will admit at first we barely talked unless we had to. But as our time together grew we became nicer to each other. We always tease each other for fun. But he's still a cocky ass wagon. He has tried on many occasions to get me out on a date with him but I can never tell if he's doing it because he knows I'll never say yes and it annoys the crap out of me or if he actually likes me. Either way I always respond with some sort of witty comeback and we move on.

As always Main Street was crowded with visitors trying to do and see everything. Most of the better restaurants were on MS so employees usually ate there. Unless they worked further out in the restricted sectors, those people usually had their own homes over there and went home for all meals.

I was not one of those people so I had to fight the crowds to get lunch. I could eat in the employee cafeteria but I was a vegetarian so that was a no go.

Just as I was sitting down to eat when my pager went off.

"Ms. Torrent please report to paddock nine." I recognized the voice as Owen Grady, also known as the biggest pain in my ass. He knew how much the formalities drove me nuts so he went out of his way to make sure to use them as much as possible.

I grabbed my tofu burger and fries to go and started back towards the T-Rex enclosure. When I arrived in the employee area of the exhibit I sighed seeing Owen standing waiting for me.

"I was on lunch break you know." I said putting my bag in my locker before sitting down to eat my lunch.

"Yeah, and?" He asked with that stupidly annoying smile of his.

"Is there a reason you're here Grady?" I asked monotonously.

"Well sourpuss, I wanted to see if you wanted to join me and a few other trainers tonight for a small party at my bungalow?" He asked.

"You came all this way to invite me to get smashed at your place?" I asked.

"Yes." he answered. I shrugged and nodded.

"Well alright then. What time is this little get together?" I asked.

"Eight, most of the trainers are done with work by then, I know you're not, but everyone else is, so just come over as soon as you can." Grady said.

"Whatever, but if this turns out to be a way for you to get me alone I will stick an arrow through your eye." I threatened. He held a hand over his heart with a hurt expression on his face.

"You'd kill me." He said with a pouty face.

"No, I said I'd stick an arrow in your eye. You'd survive, you'd just be down one eye." I said before getting up and walking towards the door.

"Now if you'll excuse me I want to play with my baby before the next feeding show." I said opening the door and laughing at his baffled face.

I whistled loudly getting Remy's attention. I felt her before I saw her. She came towards me slowly, knowing not to run at me. Last time she did that she almost trampled me.

"Hey girl, how was your afternoon snack?" I asked the giant in front of me. She made some growling noises before nudging me lightly with her huge head.

"Well that's good, now how about a ride?" I asked her. If a T-Rex could smile I think she would be.

It was twenty after eight when I finally got out of the T-Rex exhibit. Remy decided she wanted to play and wouldn't let me leave. I rushed back to the employee housing to quickly change into something more appropriate for a 'party'. Luckily I wasn't to prissy so it didn't take me long to get ready but as luck would have it Owen's bungalow is practically on the other side of the island. I quickly hopped on my dirt bike and shoved my helmet on my head before tearing off onto the dirt paths that lead through the island.

You'd be surprised how useful dirt bikes are in this place. Most of the guys here think motorcycles are better, which they do look pretty sick, but dirt bikes are made for off roading which is like the only way to get around the island.

As I was pulling up I noticed all eyes were on me. I skidded to a stop near all the other transportation, varying from jeeps to quads.

"Damn girl," I heard Barry say as I took the helmet off my head. I laughed at all of the males shocked faces.

"Thanks boys, I appreciate the admiration." I said walking over to the only other female trainer, also known as my best friend, Clarisse. She was in charge of the Spinosaurus. It was kind of funny to me because I had the feeling the only reason Clarisse was here was because she knew Barry would be here. She had a huge crush on him. Had since she first met him. She's only been here for three years, which to some may seem like a long time but to some of us it's not all that long.

"Hey Birdie, I think you just made every single guy here want to date you even more than they already do." Clarisse said.

"Oh will you stop with this. No one here wants to date me. If they did they would've asked me out already." I mumbled.

"You've turned down three of them." Owen said butting into the conversation.

"I didn't remember asking you." I pointed out stealing the beer from his hands and taking a swig. "Dude, that was mine." Owen said.

"So, I wanted a beer and didn't want to move and you just happened to have a beer in your hand so, whatever." I said with a shrug.

Both Barry and Clarisse laughed and Barry mumbled something to Owen before whisking Clarisse off. I'd never seen her smile so brightly.

"You know I've never seen you wear anything other than your uniform of cargos and tanks and I must say you look very sexy." Owen commented wiggling his eyebrows.

"Really that's the best you could do?" I teased him.

"Oh well my bad," Owen said sarcastically.

Owen and I talked for a while taking shots of tequila in between. It was nice to get the buzz from the alcohol again.

"So can I play some music or is that illegal?" I asked pulling my phone out of my pocket.

Owen motioned to his old radio and said "If you can make it hook up somehow be my guest."

I smiled and turned the radio on to what I like to call my channel before making sure the settings were right on my phone making the music blast through Owen's old radio. A large group made a dance floor just moving along to the music. I had pretty much every type of music on my phone so I just put it on shuffle. Before I knew it my favorite song came on.

'Edge of Tonight' by All Time Low was playing loudly through the speakers. I smiled at the sound of my favorite band playing.

"What is this?" Owen asked with a questioning face on.

"All Time Low, one of my favorite bands in the universe." I said with a smile.

"Dance with me Raptor Man?" I asked. Owen laughed but allowed me to lead him to the makeshift dance floor. We swayed as the song played. I think it may have been the fact that I'd already downed a few shots that'd made me so brave but it was fun nonetheless.

As the hours passed people started heading home, quite a few of them shouldn't have been driving so Owen made sure they got a ride home from one of the few sober caretakers. And those who didn't have work in the morning just crashed at his place. Well most of them were passed out on the lawn so we just left them there.

Once Owen and I were the last people out and we had made sure everyone was home safely. Owen was a lot more sober than I at this point, but I wasn't that drunk, just tipsy.

"So, do you want a cab or are you just gonna stay here?" Owen asked me.

"I'll stay here, but I don't want to waste the rest of the night just yet." I said.

"And what am I supposed to make of that?" Owen asked.

"Nothing, I'm gonna walk along the water for a bit, it's so beautiful at night. I don't get a view like this often." I said admiring the view.

"Well you're pretty tipsy and I don't feel like explaining how you fell into the water and drown while you were drunk to your T-Rex friend." Owen said.

"I'm fine but if you want to join me feel free." I said walking towards the edge stopping before I got to close. I could see Owen watching me from the corner of my eye. It was nice to have company. It was a nice night to be able to see the lake glimmering under the light of the moon.

"So what made you want to work here?" Owen asked suddenly.

"I've always loved animals and Dinosaurs are no different. I guess my love and connection to animals is what caused me to become so close with Remy so quickly. She's a real sweetheart once you get to know her. No one takes the time though. She can be violent but only if necessary. Everyone views her as a monster, I don't. I think she appreciates that. " I explained.

"Well, I guess that makes sense then." Owen said. We walked for a while in silence before Owen broke it by saying "We should head back, we both have work in the morning."

I nodded and allowed him to lead me back to his bungalow.
