Din (leaving the pet store when his dad called): Yes, Daddy T. Yeah, I just left the pet store, got everything I needed. Is dinner ready? Be there soon, bye! (Din ends the call and puts his phone in his pants pocket.)

Din hadn't even taken a few steps when he spotted Annie.

Annie (mockingly): Well, hey, smartass, how are you? Where are you rushing from? What are you talking about?

Din (maintaining his composure): How many times do I have to tell you I'm not smartass, I'm just highly intelligent. I just came from the pet store, I needed to buy food for the pets.

Annie: Wait, you have pets?! And you take care of them yourself, without Thurston helping you?

Din: Of course, I have pets! And I do everything myself: feed them, clean them, bathe them, walk them, etc. Daddy T takes care of them when I'm sick or when I'm at my grandparents'. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go home.

Annie (holding Dean back before he could leave): Wait, what kind of pets do you have exactly?

Din: 2 dogs - Rex, a shepherd/mutt mix, and Thunder, a Doberman; 1 raven - Shkvor; 2 parrots - Rio, a scarlet macaw, and Lightning, a hyacinth macaw; 1 black cat - Geyser; 1 orange iguana - Amber; 12 fish - 3 neon, 4 guppies, and 5 goldfish; 1 hedgehog - Fluffy; 3 talking chipmunks - Alvin, Simon, and Theodore; a real red dragon the size of a cat - Fire. It's time for me to go, bye, forest gremlin.

Din (wiping his hands after fixing the floor lamp in the living room): I'm done. One of your wires is corroded and the bulb burned out, but I fixed it all, and this lamp will last you a long time.

Trevor (turning on the lamp): It actually works. Thanks, guy.

Din (gathering all his tools and walking to the door): You're welcome. But I have to go, goodbye.

Tabitha (stopping Din): Wait, maybe you'll stay for tea and cake?

Din (thoughtfully): I guess…

Tabitha: Please, you did such a great job, and everyone deserves a little break.

Din (considering): Okay, not everyone gets the chance to be in the company of the famous Dinosaur Train conductor and the renowned explorer.

(The three of them head to the kitchen.)

[Meanwhile, on the veranda]

Leonard (watching everything through the window): Well, my, your classmate Thurston's son has really taken a liking to our parents.

Sonny (sipping his tea): Yeah, little Din is like that. He's not only a genius in science and technology, but also the friendliest guy in the world.

Leonard (picking up his cup and sipping his tea): You and your classmate are right, Din is the most amazing guy in the world.

Thurston (kissing Din on the top of his head): You're my little kitten!

(From Dinosaur Train)

Lorraine (aggressively): Where's that damn young detective?

Tiny (pleading): Mrs. Lambeosaurus, please…

Lorraine (slapping Tiny in the face): What 'please'? Oh, there you are!

(Lorraine sees Din trying to take his prescribed antidepressant. Lorraine pushes him, causing him to fall to the floor, dropping the medication.)

Lorraine (grabbing Din by the collar of his vest): Why won't you help us find my poor Leroy?

Din: I…

Lorraine (slapping Din in the face and throwing him to the floor): What? Are you just saying you don't want to do this? I demand you find my son!

Tiny: Mrs. Lambeosaurus, GET AWAY FROM MY FRIEND DIN NOW!

Lorraine (slapping Tiny again): Shut up, you little thing!

Lorraine (turning to Din): You know what!? You're not a child. YOU'RE JUST A WEAK, SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT, DISGUSTING PARASITE! I'm not surprised Thurston has put up with you for so long, you've rotted him to the core! No one cares about you! You're nothing but trouble and no good! You're just a pathetic little thing your "parent" found in the trash, where all the useless things were, including you.

(Lorraine was about to hit Din again, when Sonny abruptly stopped her.)

Sonny: What's going on here?

Lorraine: Ah, he's finally here! Thurston's kid's been hiding while my Leroy's missing! He was supposed to find him! He's a detective, even if he's a young one.

Sonny (pinning Lorraine against the wall of the train car): Lorraine. You're going to walk out of here now. And until you learn to talk to kids without using punches and insults, you're not going anywhere near Din.

Lorraine: HOW DARE YOU?!

Sonny (trying to remain calm): I dare. Because Din has been diagnosed with depression and is strictly forbidden from negative emotions, lest it worsen. Because Din is Thurston's son, my best friend and student, and the best mechanic at DTI. And because no one—no one—has the right to lay a hand on him. And even more so, you have no right to lay a hand on my charge

Lorraine opened her mouth to scream again, but Sonny held up his hand, stopping her.

Sonny: If you don't walk out now, I'm calling the sheriff. And let him figure out why you're attacking a child. You're grieving—I understand. But grief doesn't give you the right to hurt others.

Tiny (tugging at the hem of Sonny's conductor's vest): Mr. Conductor, Din's escaped.

Indeed, while Sonny was dealing with Lorraine, Din managed to escape the train car.

Sonny (looking Lorraine in the eye): Thurston and I will deal with you. Now, come on, Tiny, we need to find Din.

Tricia (saying something to Sonny and Thurston): To which I say to this passenger…

(Then they hear someone singing in the far part of the depot)

Tricia: Wait, who's that singing?

Thurston: I can guess who it is.

Sonny: Me too.

(They followed the sound and saw their children, Din, Gilbert, and Trina, singing "Bad Day.")

Din, Gilbert, Trina

[Human AU. Early Teen]

(Din's phone rang).

Din (sleepily): Who's so smart calling me at 3 AM? answers Hello? Who is this?

Annie: Hey, Dinie, how's my favorite Self-Taught Nerdy Guy doing?

Din: First of all, I'm not Self-Taught Nerdy Guy, I'm really smart, and secondly, why are you calling me?

Annie: Nothing, I just wanted to say hi.

Din (shocked and angry): ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! IT'S 3 AM, AND I HAVE A BITTIN' MATH TEST AT SCHOOL TODAY! AND YOU, YOU FOREST GREMLIN, ARE YOU CALLING ME JUST TO SAY HI?! IF I FAIL MY TEST TODAY, DADDY T WON'T BUY ME NEW COMPUTER GAMES, SO HE HAS THIS AGREEMENT WITH ME: PASS THE TEST, GET NEW GAMES, DAMN IT!

Annie: But Dinie

Din: BYE!!! LET ME SLEEP! ends call, puts phone back Someone put me out of my misery!
