The Encounter 4

After an extensive amount of running and climbing, I found myself safe up in the trees as the roads echoed down below. Finally, some peace, cause now a new question pops up...I just randomly vanished out of Nowhere, but now I’m normal again?? Though this is all interrupted when I heard laughing of some sort, everywhere around me...

???: Up here! What kind of bird are you supposed to be?

Tanzanite: what...who’s there??

???: Depends on how I feel at the moment. Maybe I’m a sick flying beast, maybe I’m one radical dude! You could always come up and see

So of course I had to go. Curiosity and fear were eating me up from the inside. A few branches later, and I’m face to face with a green gal that seemed...familiar...

Tanzanite: ...what? Do I look like a bird to you??

???: Of course not, I just wanted to know what you thought. Hmmm...Oh! Maybe if I ask nicely, we can keep you as a pet! I know a lot of cool tricks-

Tanzanite: What are you talking about?? I-I’m no Pet!

???: Not yet you’re not, Jeez! Get with the program...Where’re ya from anyways? You don’t look like the others...you’re too bright

Tanzanite: ...well, from what I know, Gems can come in many shapes and sizes

???: Ohh, you’re a Gem too! I didn’t know they could be so Bright!...well, I guess Amber is, kinda...? Dunno really, though she is pretty! Now then, you still need to tell me where you came from...Oh! And you’re lucky I found you before T-Rexy Messy chomped you to bits!

Tanzanite: I’m from Africa-...isn’t “T-Rexy Messy” a large, red beefcake of rage with a mighty roar?

???: You already got chased by her? That must’ve been hilarious!! How did you get away??

Tanzanite: ...I don’t think so, I should get going...

???: Aww! Don’t leave!! I gotta show you to Amber!!! I promise I’ll play nice...I’m Dinosaur Bone, but the others call me Ptery! I think...

Tanzanite: Wait...you wouldn’t happen to know a blue triceratops, would you?? And Who’s AMBER???-

It was then that I realized the branch I was sitting on was cracking. Guess I stayed on for too long as I wasn’t fast enough to escape, soon falling into the jungle below...
