1 Welcome...to Dinosaur Bay!

Have you ever wondered what happened to the dinosaurs? Today, everyone believes that these fantastic creatures are extinct and never to be seen again.... or are they. Somewhere off the coast of America's pacific northwest, there lies a truly remote island called Dinosaur Bay. Surprisingly in this Prehistoric Paradise, many dinosaurs and other ancient saurian species have not only survived but continue to flourish even after millions of years. Then one faithful day, something new would arrive on the island. On a beautiful day, a little dinosaur was taking a stroll through the forest. His name is Parker the Parksosaurus (PAHRK-so-SOR-us), a little dinosaur with a big heart. Parker was just having a normal day but as he was about to pass by the beach, the little dinosaur noticed something new to the island.

"What in the Mesozoic is that?" the little dinosaur wondered curiously. "It's truly not like anything I've ever seen on Dinosaur Bay and I've seen a lot of interesting things."

Peaked with interest, the little dinosaur decided to check the mysterious object out. Walking down to the shore, Parker got a closer look at the object in question which is a boat. The little dinosaur had never seen a boat before, and it was certainly quite a curious discovery.

"Well, I have to admit," Parker thought to himself. "This thing is truly Jurassic Fantastic!"

After getting himself on board, the little dinosaur proceeded to check out the deck. As he looked around, Parker became astonished by the many different things he found on board. However, as he continued to look around the deck, the little dinosaur was caught by surprise when he heard someone say...

"Jacob, are you back yet?"

Upon hearing the new voice, Parker the Parksosaurus quickly realized that he wasn't alone on the boat. Looking around, the little dinosaur searched for whoever was on the boat with him. Sure, enough as he turned around, Parker found himself face to face with a brand-new creature. After being startled by the little dinosaur's presence, the creature ran away from Parker and tried to find a place to hide. Seeing how worried the creature was by his presence, Parker knew he had to assure it that he isn't a threat. So, walking up to where the creature hid, the little dinosaur proceeded to introduce himself.

"Uh, hello there," the little dinosaur greeted. "Sorry if I startled you, but I was just curious about this thing on the beach and I wanted to check it out. My name is Parker and I am a bipedal plant-eating dinosaur called a Parksosaurus. Do you have a name?"

Now the creature became even more astonished that the little dinosaur could speak, but felt relieved that Parker has no interest in harming it. Gaining enough courage, the young creature let out a reply.

"M...my name is Molly Maple," the creature replied. "I am something called a human, which I guess to you is a type of giant mammal."

"A Dino-sized mammal?!" Parker gasped in surprise. "Now that's something you don't see every day on Dinosaur Bay, but how did you end up on the island anyway?"

Molly didn't exactly know how to explain her situation to her new prehistoric acquaintance but decided to tell her story the very best she could. She explained that she came from a place called Amber Hills and that she and her brother Jacob were kicking off the summer with a small boat tour around the cove. It seemed they took a wrong turn and Molly got seasick and had to lie down. This prompted her to realize that Jacob was nowhere around. It became clear to Parker that this sweet little girl could use some help, and he decided that he should be the one to help her.

"Maybe until we can find your brother, Parker explained. "You could stay with me at my hollow tree for a while."

"You mean spending time with a dinosaur," Molly said in surprise. "Well, I don't want to be any trouble…"

"Relax it's the least I can do," assured Parker. "Just get what you need and then I'll escort you there."

Moments later Molly ventured outside with her new Dino pal. She was surprised by the lush and beautiful primeval world of Dinosaur Bay. The two ventured through the cedar swamp, they decided to stop near a stream where Molly looked on in astonishment at the magnificent variety of plant-eating Dinosaurs on the other side of the stream such as the docile Camptosaurus (KAMP-toe-SOR-us), the plated and spike tail Stegosaurus (STEG-o-SOR-us), and the gigantic long-necked Brontosaurus (BRON-to-SOR-us) as they fed on the local vegetation and drank from the stream. Molly awed at the prehistoric flora and fauna residing on the island, and she became even more astonished as an Avisaurus (Av-ee- SOR-us) flew overhead. Parker easily recognized the Proto-bird as one of his friends Teryx.

"Oh, hey there Parker," said Teryx. "What's shaking my down to Earth buddy?"

"I would like you to meet my new friend," said Parker. "This is Molly, and she's a kind of Dino-sized mammal called a human."

Teryx landed on the branch of a tree, to get a really good look at the human girl. To say the least, the Avisaurus was quite impressed, and after hearing Molly's situation, Teryx decided to assure the young child.

"I do hope you find your fellow mammal," said Teryx.

"Thank you Teryx," Molly replied.

"I better get going," Teryx told the two. "I got some tasty insects to catch."

"Very well then Teryx," replied Parker. "I'll see you later.

"It was truly nice to meet you Teryx," said Molly. "Take care."

Parker and Molly continue walking through the forest until they came upon a valley basin with ferns, cycads, and shrubbery. Here more dinosaurs were seen going about their day. There was the duck-billed Trachodon (TRAK-oh-don), the crested Parasaurolophus (pah-ra-SOR-oh-LO-fus), the famous three-horned Triceratops (tri-SEH-ruh-tops), and the armored Ankylosaurus (ang-KI-lo-SOR-us) enjoying the vegetation in the valley. All this reminded Molly of animals she knew back home outside of the island when a thought struck her and she asked Parker a question.

"Parker," Molly asked the little dinosaur." Are there meat-eating Dinosaurs on Dinosaur Bay?"

"Afraid so," The little dinosaur replied. "Why do you ask?"

Just as Parker asked, a hungry pair of Dromaeosaurus (DROH-mee-o-SOR-us) popped out of nowhere attempting to ambush a young Trachodon that got separated from the herd. Just in the nick of time, the mother got in between and shielded her child from the ravenous raptors. Parker and Molly smiled happily at the mother's quicksave, but their relief was cut short as the carnivores decided to go after them instead. Just as the Dromaeosaurus pair raced up towards them, something went stomping and bellowing to protect the pair. In an instant, a Leptoceratops (LEP-to-SEH-ruh-tops) named Boulder shielded them from the predators. Hoping for an easier meal, the raptors high-tailed it away back into the forest.

"That'll teach those featherweights something," said Boulder. "I'm sure glad you and that peculiar fella are okay."

"Thank you, Boulder," Parker chuckled. "Though I think Molly here might be female."

"That's okay Parker," said Molly giggling. "First time I've ever been called a fellow by a dinosaur.

"Why thank you kindly miss uh…" Boulder paused realizing he instantly forgot her name.

"My name is Molly," the little girl replied. "Thank you again for saving us."

"Yeah Boulder," Parker agreed. "I Sure hope to see you again my four-legged pal."

"You too," Boulder replied. "See you later."

While Boulder went on his way, Parker and Molly continue walking through the basin until they enter another forest. While the two kept on their journey, many more prehistoric creatures go about their day on their island home. Among them included the dome-headed and spiky Stygimoloch (STIJ-i-MOL-ock) feeding on a tree fern, while a small flock of Ornithomimus (or-NITH-o-MIEM-us) passes on by. As they venture through the forested region, Molly saw that the further they went through the forest…the darker the surroundings become. This made Parker realize something about Molly; it appeared that she was quite frightened of the darkness around them. The little dinosaur went to her side to comfort the little girl as she shivered, trying his best to help her relax.

"Don't worry Molly," said Parker. "There's nothing to be scared of in here."

"Then what are those," Molly pointed in one direction.

It was then, further within the darkness, a pair of eyes looked on nearby. This made Molly even more worried, but as the eyes came closer to them Parker quickly knew who they belonged to.

"Dusk is that you?" Parker asked the glowing eyes.

Coming closer to the light, Dusk revealed himself to be a sneaky but friendly Troodon (TROH-o-don).

"It is quite wonderful to see you again Parker," said Dusk. "Who might your new friend be?"

"Well… my name is Molly," she said while becoming a little braver. "Say you're not as scary as I thought. You look…amazing."

"You think so," Dusk said blushing. "Rarely do I get a compliment like that around here, but I'm glad to hear it anyway."

"Now do you still think the dark is scary Molly?" Parker asked.

"Not as much as I used to," said Molly. "Appears that once you know what's out there, there isn't too much to be frightened of."

After saying farewell to Dusk, Parker and Molly continued through the forest and light began to reappear. They continued to walk until finally, Parker and Molly reached the little Dinosaur's home. It was quite a humble hollow tree, but Molly knew that to a little dinosaur it was the best kind of home. Inside the two settled down to rest from their prehistoric adventure, and everything is quite quiet until…

"Ahhh…!"

With that yelp, Parker and Molly jumped and looked outside. By absolute chance, there is another human running for his life with an egg in hand. Once Molly got a good look at him, she quickly realized who this particular human was.

"Oh, my goodness," said Molly in surprise. "It's my brother."

"He's an egg thief by the looks of things," said Parker disapprovingly.

As Jacob kept running, Molly shouted to her brother. Hearing her voice, he was surprised to see that Molly was here and took the chance to hide with her. As he got inside the tree, Jacob was relieved to see his little sister again but was quite shocked to see a little dinosaur next to her.

"Oh Molly," said Jacob regaining his breath. "Who's you're new…"

"The name's Parker," The little dinosaur answered before Jacob could finish. "And would you tell me why you took that egg? It's never okay to steal you know."

"Hey can't a guy have something to eat?" Jacob jokingly asked.

"But Jacob," Molly informed her brother. "The parent Dinosaur must be worried sick for that egg."

"Well, that could explain why that Tyrannosaurus Rex (ti-RAN-o-SOR-us Rex) was after me," said Jacob now feeling bad for what he had done.

"TYRANNOSAURUS REX…!" Parker and Molly shouted in shock.

Just as they said it, a ferocious growl could be heard as outside of the hollow tree there stood the enraged T-Rex. He began sniffing around the tree, for he could easily recognize the scent of the egg inside. Parker and the two humans wondered what to do when Molly thought of something, and despite her brother's reluctant nature she asked him to hand over the egg. Parker knew exactly what was about to happen, and while concerned for her safety, the little dinosaur allowed her to go with the plan. She went outside to confront the Tyrannosaurus Rex and gently she placed the egg close to his snout.

"We're sorry for what my brother did Mr. Rex," said Molly. "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him and accept your egg back please?"

The T-Rex continued to examine the egg when it cracked; out popped the head of a cute and fuzzy T-Rex chick. The father Rex smiled with happiness to see his little hatchling completely all right. When the baby T. Rex fully emerged from its shell, Molly knew that everything would be fine.

"Thank you little one," The father Rex told the young girl.

"You're welcome Mr. Rex," Molly happily replied

As the father Rex and his hatchling left, Parker and Jacob came out relieved that it's over.

"Well so much for my omelet," Jacob joked.

"Molly you did a really brave thing out there," Parker told Molly. "You certainly have a Dinosaur's heart."

"Thank you, Parker," Molly replied with a proud smile on her face.

Parker and Molly both had a light chuckled when Jacob realized something important. He quickly reminded his little sister that they needed to head back home before it got too dark to sail... Hearing this, Parker and Molly knew it was time to bid one another farewell.

"I'm going to miss you, Parker," said Molly.

"Same here," Parker replied. "You are a Jurassic Fantastic friend. And I hope one day we meet again."

"Thank you," said Molly. "And you know…maybe we could visit again."

"Well, I hope you do Molly," replied Parker. "I'll be waiting."

"Then we'll make sure not to be too long," Molly giggled. "See you very soon."

With this said, Molly and Jacob part ways with Parker. As the little Dinosaur looked on, he knew deep down that one day the two of them would meet again… and have plenty more adventures here on an island called Dinosaur Bay!
