ONE-SHOT: Can you do a one shot when you’re visiting your dad Owen at Jurassic World and Zach ends up falling in love with you ONE-SHOT: Imagine your Owen’s daughter and Zach falls in love with you ONE-SHOT: Would you please do a one shot where you’re Owen’s daughter and a super badass and at one point you save Zach’s life by fighting a dinosaur and he totally falls in love with you ANNOUNCEMENTS: I paired these three requests up because they were all pretty similar so I hope you all like it! WARNINGS: Maybe a little violence but thats it really
Your face crunched up as the ocean spray splashed up and over the side of the boat. Blinking the salty water out of your eyes you were finally able to see the up and coming Isla Nublar, the famous Jurassic World. You smiled nervously, you were coming here to begin living with your father, Owen Grady, the Velociraptor trainer. It had taken this long because he didn’t really know if he would be staying or not, but he did, and at first he changed from coming to the island and back home but eventually he just stayed on the island and left you with your neighbor, the most boring person on Earth. At first you didn’t like the thought of him working at a place who messed this up the first time 22 years ago, but you soon realized that he could handle himself just like he had taught you to do.
Once you got off of the boat you looked around the docks through the churning sea of people and finally saw your father surveying the crowed. His eyes locked with yours and brightened up. Making your way over to him the two of you instantly embraced in a warm hug.
“Hey there!” He took you by the shoulders and looked at you, “My gosh, it has been too long. I’m really sorry that it has taken this long for me to get you to the island but I’ve just been so busy and-”
You laughed, cutting him off, “It’s fine, really. What you should be sorry about is leaving me with Ms. Wyatt for an entire year. You do realize that the only thing she has for fun is a television and that somehow only get the crocheting channels.” He winced, “Yeah… but hey! People say those things will rot your brain y'know! Besides, I don’t have a tv at all.”
“Yeah, but you live on an island full of dinosaurs.”
“True. Now lets get going, I still have a few more hours of work but I’ll introduce you to the Raptors and then I’ll have someone drop you off at the bungalow and then you can explore the park.”
You through your fist in the air in celebration, “Yes!”
Instead of getting on the monorail to the park the two of you took a jeep with the parks logo on it and headed down a dirt road. The two of you had a little catching up to do but not much, I mean, he only called you basically every day so there wasn’t much you hadn’t covered in those calls. Eventually the bumpy road came to an end next to a large concrete structure. To be honest it wasn’t that impressive but you could still barely contain your excitement, I mean, actual Velociraptors! Not skeletons or pictures in a textbook but real, living, breathing animals! The two of you hopped out of the car and into humid jungle weather and made your way over to the bottom of some metal stairs.
“Ok,” he said, “I don’t usually let random people up here so if anyone asks you’re with me,”
“Got it.”
The metal clanked under your boots as the two of you made your way up the stairs and onto a cat-walk that overlooked a jungle filled enclosure.
“Oh, and by the way,” Owen started, “Don’t fall over please, in fact, hold onto the railing, please.”
“I’m not gonna fall over, chill,” you said taking a hold of the railing anyway.
That seemed to satisfy him as he started what ever he was doing. A pig squealed through followed by 4 other things that you couldn’t quite see until they came to a stop right beneath you. The breath caught in your chest and you smiled brightly, there they were, 4 Velociraptors, all big and powerful and deadly. Your father called out some commands and they actually listened, go this way, that way, and finally he gave them all treats, the one named Blue getting a little white rat.
“And, go!” he said finally and the Raptors went sprinting back into hiding.
“That,” you said with wide eyes, “Was, awesome!”
He laughed and the two of you made your way back down the stairs. He introduced you to one of the other workers and said that they would be taking you to the park for some exploring. Once you were at the park you felt kind of lost. You had never been alone in a place as big as this before, but that was ok, you would be able to handle yourself. And besides, what could really go wrong?
—-
You jinxed it, you thought to yourself as you ran through a crowed of screaming people as they tried to keep from being Pterodactyl food. You just had to open your big fat mouth at say something as stupid as, ‘what could possibly go wrong?’ so, so stupid. You could barely make out one person from another as you tried to find a safe spot. And all you could really do for your father is hope that he wasn’t dead.
Suddenly, a few of the beasts started falling to the ground, one landed near you and you saw something sticking out of its side, a dart. Looking up you saw a few people scattered throughout the crowed with dart guns, aiming at anything flying. One of the men was taken from behind, screaming as he went up and dropping his gun, and without a second thought, you grabbed it and started aiming at the beasts too. All of a sudden, two boys ran in front of you, one about your age and one a few years younger than you. They went to the large fence that kept people from falling in with the Mosasaur, looking at something that you couldn’t quite make out. In doing this they were in plain view of everything that thought to try and look for food, and soon, a few of the Pterodactyls were swooping for them.
You ran to get a better shot and started taking out those things left and right, all the while the two boys just looked at you in awe. You couldn’t blame them though, you were being pretty freaking awesome right now.
When the air was clear for the moment, you looked at them, “C'mon, don’t just stand there, lets go!”
They got up and start running with you while you tried to look for anyone who familiar, all the while shooting anything that flew. All of a sudden the boy about your age tugged on your shirt and pointed to a redheaded lady standing on a car. You nodded and followed him towards the direction of the lady, and almost shouted with joy. Right next to her was Owen, keeping an eye on the lady and making sure she wasn’t carried off. Suddenly though, he was tackled by one of the flying beasts, barely fighting it off from biting his face off, you raised your gun, ready to shoot, but was beaten to the point by the redheaded lady.
The three of you kids jogged over to them, they hugged the lady and you went and about tackled Owen. It was a quick moment though, as the panic was not yet over. Your father led the way to a company jeep and all of you watched as people broke through the gate and flooded past the car. For now at least, you were all safe and could take a breath.
“Can we stay with you?” said the younger brother.
“Trust me guys, I am never leaving you again,” replied the redhead
They both started at once, “No, no, we meant them.”
—-
The rest of the day pretty much sucked also, the raptors temporarily found a new Alpha which sucked for a lot of people, then this big fight between the I-Rex, T-Rex, Raptors, and Mosasaur, but then, you saw your dad’s heart break when his last remaining Raptor, Blue went back into the wild of the jungle. But, even with a few cuts and bruises, everyone made it out alive. Currently you were walking around an 'infirmary’, helping people find their families and things like that. You saw the boys and the redheaded lady you found out was named Claire, and signaled Owen you were going over there. Claire stood up and went over to your father and you took her spot right next to the boys.
“Hey,” the one named Zach said.
“Hi,” you replied.
Gray looked at the two of you and sighed, “I’ll just be over there then.”
“So,” he started, “Thanks, for, y'know, keeping us alive back there.”
“Ah,” you said sarcastically, “It’s was nothing, really.”
The two of you chuckled at that one, “Hey. So, I was just, I was gonna ask that, um, if you wanted, to, like-”
You cut him off by taking his hand and grabbing a pen, “I would love to, here’s my number, call me sometime maybe.” And with that, you got up and started helping your father again who had just apparently had a similar moment with Claire.
Maybe you should jinx things more often.
Cocky
One-Shot: Imagine you have a fall out with Owen but then when trouble starts you find him and you work together but at the end you get injured and you can make up the ending Announcements: Sorry this took so long to get out! Warnings: None that I can think of! You walked into the trailer. It was a bit small, but big enough you to live comfortably. You lived right next to your partner, Owen Grady, but it wasn’t ‘partner’ as in boyfriend, more like as in co-worker. You both led your own separate packs of Raptors, and you were both the Alphas, which you had to be, if you were going to be respected and listened to by the Raptors.
You slumped down onto your bed, dropping your stuff down on the floor next to you. Today was an exhausting day, and you were both sad and frustrated with Owen. Mostly you were frustrated… angry… ok, pissed off at that cocky bastard. He though he was invincible even though he was clearly not. Some scrawny kid had fallen into the enclosure and he just ran in there without a care in the world. Sure, you thought, it would have set back his work by months, even years if the guards had tazed the Raptors, but it could have ended his life if he hadn’t gotten lucky this one time.
—-
“What were you thinking?” You had yelled at him, “You almost died in there!”
“But I didn’t,” he retorted, winking at you.
“It was stupid and reckless and-“
“Stupid?” He asked, his voice rising slightly, “That kid would have been dead if it weren’t for me!”
“Maybe, but you both could have been dead if you didn’t get lucky this single time! You should have let them take the Raptors down! They would have ripped you to shreds if you hadn’t gotten out of there when you did!”
He looked at you incredulously, “If I had let them then they would have never trusted me again! They are too precious of ally’s to have on our bad sides! You would have done the same thing.”
That made you stop. Would you have? Or would you have let them be taken down? You shook your head slightly, this was different, you thought, he actually did it.
“Are you that surprised that I would put a human life before an animals comfort?” you said instead, “They would have been fine! A little disoriented for a while and given a break before the next training session. You-“
“Wow, just… wow,” he said, “Would I even want to know the answer?”
“I, I…”
He huffed and pushed passed you, leaving you standing there, angry and about ready to start crying. God, that idiot, you thought.
—-
You decided to skip dinner and go straight to sleep. You were about to fall into the sweet clutches of unconsciousness when someone started knocking on your door. Oh what now, you thought grumpily as you pushed yourself of off the bed.
Opening the door you were met with the face of Owen, “Boss Lady’s here and she needs us both,” he said, turning and walking to a shiny silver car before you could get a word in.
As you walked to the car you saw that in the driver’s seat was a redheaded woman you knew to be Claire Dearing. Hopping in next to a quiet Owen you asked, “So, what do you need us for?”
She glanced at you while started the car and driving off, “Mr. Masrani thought it would be best for the two of you to review the paddock of one of the new attractions for safety.”
“Oh,” you said simply.
—
And thus continued the suckiness of the day, first a fight with Owen and then escalating into running for your life from a dinosaur that never existed. And now here you were, running through the jungle towards the park, trying to push the visons of the two poor workers being chomped in half out of your thoughts for the moment. At this point, hours must have passed, I mean, this was a huge island when you’re walking on foot, and you’re sure you’re lost. At last you stumbled out onto a large cliff that overlooked the park, and what you saw almost made your heart stop, it was the Pterodactyls, they were loosed and dive bombing the park. Oh hell, you thought and began to run to the park.
When you got down there it was still chaos, people running, screaming, crying, trying to keep from being bird food, it made you mad. These idiots should have evacuated the island, but no, it would have cost them too much money, it’s all about the money! All of a sudden you were jerked back by your shirt, and then up. Claws dugs painfully into your shoulder as you suddenly realized that you had been caught by one of the Pterodactyls and was not being lifted into the sky.
You heard screaming but didn’t know if it was yours or the crowed below you, either way, it sounded terrified. Suddenly, as quickly as you had been lifted up into the air, you were falling back to the ground. The animal made a squawking sound and released its iron grip on you. You thought that you would be too high to keep from gaining any injuries but just before you hit the ground, powerful arms caught you, sending you and Owen to the ground.
He quickly looked up at you, “Are you hurt,”
You looked at him while you tried to feel any major points of pain that could mean broken, and then looked down at your ankle and winced. Even now it was beginning to turn purple and swollen, it must have been caught under Owen when the two of you fell.
Owen followed your gaze, his eyes widening as he saw your ankle too, “Here, c’mon, I gotcha.”
As he lifted you up your eyes locked with each other’s and before you could protest put his hands around your face and smashed his lips into yours.
After a few moments of that he released you, “I’m sorry about earlier, I know it was stu-“
You cut him off, “That can wait.”
He looked at you with his fascinating green eyes and nodded, “Follow me.”
It was a short distance to the car but with the added trouble of a panicked crowed and useless ankle it seemed to take a lifetime. Claire Dearing was in the front and there were two boys you didn’t recognize in the back as you squeezed in next to them. For now at least, everything seemed ok, and you thought of a few ways that you could apologize to Owen too.
Scandalous
One-Shot: Can I have a one-shot where Owen Grady (aka Chris Pratt) introduces you to the raptors and some of them try to hurt you and yeah if that makes sense:) Annoucement: I hope you like it! Warnings: None
You closed your eyes and took a deep breath of ocean air. It wasn’t a long boat drive to the Isla Nublar, but it sure was refreshing. You were barely containing your excitement though, to be honest this may be the best day ever. You were visiting your partner, Owen Grady, and he said he was finally going to show you his Raptor girls. That’s right, actually Velociraptors. You had been nervous about him taking the job at first, seeing as how 22 years earlier Raptors had contributed to the events at Jurassic Park, but eventually you had learned to accept it.
Getting off the boat and swaying a little bit from just getting back on land, you looked around through the crowed of families and friends.
All of a sudden there was a jabbing, tickling feeling on your sides, “RAPTOR ATTACK!”
Apart from it tickling a bit, it scared the hell out of you and made you jump about five feet into the air, “AHHH!”
Some people within earshot of you gave you odd looks as you whipped around and found yourself immediately faced with stunning green eyes. You smiled and smacked Owen on the arm.
He pretended to be shocked and hurt, “What on Earth was that for?”
“You know what for,” you said, “And, by the way… Raptor attack? Really?”
He took you by the arm and the both of you started making your way off of the dock, “Ah, well, just trying to get you in the mood.”
Hopping into his jeep you chuckled nervously, “Yeah, right. I hope they like me.”
Owen smiled and looked over at you, “Of course they will, I’m the Alpha, they’ll think of you as my mate and respect you too.”
“Alpha, huh? I bet you use that one on all the girls.”
He started the car, “Only you, hun bun.”
The rest of the ride was filled with small talk and the general catching up. You were studying back in America so you kind of had to keep this a long distance relationship which wasn’t always easy, but you managed. And besides, you were almost done anyways, you were really trying to push for a job on the island so you could be near Owen but that was a worry for another day.
Soon, the bumpy car ride to the enclosure was over and the two of you hopped out of the car, “Yeesh, it is mildly warm out here,” you said sarcastically, taking off your top shirt to reveal your tank top.
“Are you trying to impress me, or the dinosaurs,” Owen commented.
“Well, I just want to make a good impression,” you retorted. You followed him a short distance and to something that looked like a viewing area of some sort, both sides closed off by safety fences.
“Here,” Owen said, “Just stand here and watch.”
“I think I can handle that,” you said, feeling the excitement kick your pulse up a few notches.
He signaled someone and all of sudden a tiny pig came squealing in through the opening in the enclosure. It disappeared in a hole in the wall and a panel slammed down behind it, keeping it from being eaten by the four beings that came streaking in behind it. Their sleek reptilian bodies moved around the arena, hissing at the people up on the catwalk above and nipping playfully at each other. They eventually saw you and Owen in the safety cage and slinked over. Your eyes were wide, this was the first time that you had been able to see the Raptors, and they were magnificent. They came closer to the gate that separated you from them, staring at each other in the eyes.
“This one it Blue,” Owen said, pointing to the one closest to the fence, “That one is Echo, there’s Charlie, and over there is Delta.”
“Awesome,” you whispered with a slightly open mouth.
All of a sudden, Blue, jumped forward towards the cage, making you jump back, just barely missing the her claws as she stuck her arm though an opening.
“Ahh!” You yelped.
Owen pushed you back to a safer distance, “Hey! No, Blue! No! Back, stay back!”
The Raptor looked at Owen and slid her arm out of the door quietly. The others had stayed back, and started hissing at you.
“Was it something I said?” you asked shakily.
He frowned and helped you up off of the ground, “No, I don’t know. Maybe they just didn’t sense that you were my mate?” He looked back in the cage, “I don’t know. Are you ok? Any scratches? Anything?”
You shook your head, “I don’t know either, maybe we need to kiss in front of them next time. Show then whose boss.”
He raised an eyebrow at you, “Ooh, scandalous. What would the people think?”
“Who cares?” and pecked him on the lips.
A near mauling by your boyfriends Raptors can really make a person crave physical contact.
Bacon Savers
One-Shot request: Imagine Zach saves you, and you end up falling for each other. Annoncements: Thanks everyone! I think I’m getting faster at this! WOO HOO Warnings: POSSIBLE SPOILERS
You didn’t know how this happened, but at the moment you didn’t really care. You were just screaming at yourself for wearing noise canceling headphones when you went to sleep. Of course you knew that you couldn’t have predicted that something was going to get loose and they would have to evacuate the island. You felt a rising panic, what if you missed the evacuation and you were all alone on the island full of loose dinosaurs? Currently you were jogging toward the docks when you heard yelling and inhuman screeches. You whipped your head around and saw something that made you stop in your tracks. Four beat up looking people came running out of the Dino information hall and were surrounded by what looked like Velociraptors. You looked around for something to throw and saw some glass dinosaur figures. Picking one up you more or less aim it at a Raptor and threw it while yelling like a maniac to get their attention. It almost worked, if not for a larger white creature barging in and getting hit instead. It began turning its large head to glare at you, the tiny screaming figure who was now turning silent. “Oh hell,” Was the only thing you got to say before the thing roared and started lumbering towards you. You started running back in the direction of the T-Rex attraction because that was the only direction you could go without putting more people in danger, “I so did not think this through!” You chanced a glance over at the four people, they seemed to be doing just fine STARING at you instead of HELPING, “Oh no, I’m fine thank you!” You yelled at them. That seemed to get them into action. The youngest two went find safety and the redheaded lady soon followed as the man seemed to be giving the raptors orders, you probably didn’t see that one correctly, I mean, you were running for your life here. You rounded the corner and almost slipped on the concrete, picking yourself up though, you raced and ducked into what looked like a large storage warehouse. You slowed down to a trot, trying to catch your breath, thinking you were safe in the metal building. You soon realized your mistake though, as suddenly the wall was crunched inwards from the weight of a dino body slam. You stopped breathing, and started looking for another way out, but found none. You started to panic, this was not good, not good at all, you were completely trapped. Your body started to freeze completely, your mind going blank, your breathing ragged as the Dinosaur finally burst through the wall, raining down glass and debris onto your head. You couldn’t really remember what happened next but you think it involved you squeaking and trying to run the opposite direction but tripping on some wires. You closed your eyes, waiting for the inevitable when you were jerked sideways by your arm and under a forklift just as huge jaws came smashing down where you once were. Turning your head you saw a head of brown hair and two panicked looking eyes looking right at you. It was the older of the two kids. “Come on!” He yelled, you gave no argument. Running had never really been your forte, but right now you thought you could be setting some new records. The two of you went to the far left side of the beast, trying to get around it. By some miracle you managed to do just that and leaped through the gaping hole in the wall and started running back to the gift shop area. “Zach!” someone yelled, the two of you turned your heads to find the woman running, but towards you instead of away like any sane person should be doing at this moment in time, with a lit road flare in her hands, “Run!” Sprinting into a nearby toy shop and hiding under one of the displays you and Zach looked out of the window to see the lady throw the flare at the white beast and then come into the shop with you. All of a sudden the ground started shaking dramatically, getting louder and heavier with each passing second until finally you saw it, the T-Rex. It was slightly smaller than the other Dinosaur but still impressive. Soon it was joined by the Raptors and it almost seemed like they were on the same side as they simultaneously attacked the beast in front of them. Soon, the fight was over, Rex, Raptors, and Mosasaur victorious, all going on their separate ways. The redheaded lady who you found out was named Claire found and hugged the youngest one, Gray, and soon was joined by Zach and the man, Owen, who was off having a moment with a blue tinted Raptor. That left you, standing off to the side quietly as they had their family love moment. Soon though, you were joined by Zach, “Hey,” he said. You looked over at him, “Hi,” you couldn’t think of anything better to say, “Thanks, for, ya’know, saving my skin.” “Hey, I was just returning the favor. You got us out of a big mess back there.” You turned and faced him, “Well, I guess this is good-bye. It was nice saving each other’s bacon.” His eyes widened a bit, “Uh, well, yeah, I guess it’s good-bye, I guess.” You gave him one last smile and turned back to the docks, hesitating a bit before you started walking. Zach came back over to his little group, earning a disappointed look from Gray. He looked back to where you were walking away and sighed, you were beautiful. Gray punched him in the arm, “Nothings gonna happen if you just keep staring at her.” Zach looked at Gray and back up at you, “Yeah, you’re right,” and started jogging to catch up to you. You turned around when you heard Zach’s voice from behind you, “Hey, wait up.” You stopped walking and looked him in the eyes, “Yeah? Is everything ok?” He looked down, “No, not really, I mean, it’s just that, well I-“ You stopped him from saying another word as you gave him a little peck on the lips, grabbed his hand and wrote down your number on his palm. “Here,” you said, “Call me when you get back to the mainland and we’ll get together, maybe.” He didn’t say anything as you turned around and started walking off again. Finally he breathed out a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding and yelled out, “I liked saving bacon too!”
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. May the veracity of this remind you to never underestimate a bird, and to be thankful they are so delicious when slowly and aromatically roasted.
*Thanks to tumblr, biologyislove for this!

OOTD #5
I havent been posting ootds cuz my outfits kinda sucked, but heres a new one :3
featuring: my old ass converse, my dino backpack, and my myriad of necklaces and friendship bracelets!
Enough about the ideal man. These darlings were featherless, occasionally bipedal, and gorgeous
This is the ideal creature. Hollow crested, nostrils connected to a huge empty bone head, allowing for not only BIG SNOFF, but also BIG SINGING. Cousins of the equally as lovely lambeosaurus, who are the most beautiful and well shaped of creatures of all time.
Hadrosaurids ;-; my beloveds, millions of years separating us
I like to say my horse is scared of dinosaurs because she isn’t very spooky except about big birds. The neighbors have an emu and we can’t really walk past it. The herons make her snorty and dragony. And I’ve nearly fallen off multiple times because of turkeys.
