The next gen kids! I tried my best, so please forgive me if they look inaccurate

I tried my best with Annora 😭 sorry if she’s a little inaccurate (same with the others)

Tabs finally looks older (it was only a matter of time) I gave her slightly longer feathers, and she looks a little more like her dad now 🥺

Anselma is eating a bag of fresh carrion chips (from a food stand at the park)

I also gave Noelle a little bow! She has the same eye colour as Tabitha’s bio mother.

Thurston is wearing his jacket (he just wants to wear it, so leave him alone, lmao) he also chose to give up on wearing contacts by this point, lmao

[About a week before Lily turned 18...]

Lorraine: Lily, I need to get Jurassic Ginko leaves, come on.

Lily: [looks up from her collection, nods and starts following Lorraine to the train station]

Lily: Mom, I'll be safe at home, you don't have to-

Lorraine: I don't trust them. We're going together.

[They draw closer and closer to the train station. Lily doesn't understand why, but she has a bad feeling...]

Lily: ... Mom?

Lorraine: Yes, love?

Lily: What are we getting Jurassic Ginko leaves for?

Lorraine: Your birthday is in a week! So I want to make you a delicacy of a birthday meal!

Lily: You always made my meals with fruits and leaves from around here though. I'm not complaining! You make the best food, but...

Lorraine: Can't I do something special for you for your eighteenth birthday?

[The pause at the station, waiting for a train to pull up. Lily nervously fiddles around as Lorraine paces back and forth.]

Lily: ... Mom? You look nervous.

Lorraine: Me? Oh no! I'm fine, I just... planning has been...

Lily: You don't have to do something big for me, mom. I'm okay with something smaller, don't stress yourself.

Lorraine: But... I love you, Lily. And I want to do something that'll make you know how much I love you.

Lily, mustering courage: Then... can I make a req-

[A train whistle goes off. The Dinosaur Train rolls into the station.]

Tabitha: All aboard! Hello, Mrs. Lorraine. Hello, Lily! You're still cute as a button, I see-

Lorraine: Let's go, Lily. [Boards the train without even greeting Tabitha]

Tabitha: Well... um... Okay.

Lily: [smiles apologetically at Tabitha as she boards the train]

Tabitha: All aboard! Hang onto your hats! Gangway! [Closes the door]

[The train starts moving.]

Tabitha: Tickets! Tickets please!

Lorraine: [hands Tabitha the tickets]

Tabitha: Ooooh! What's the occasion to go all the way to-

Lorraine: -Birthday preparations. My special girl deserves the best birthday possible!

Tabitha, who's in on Lily and Don's escape plans but not at all spilling in: I'm sure it'll be a birthday to remember! Lily here is such a sweet young lass.

Lily: [smiles shyly] Tha-thank you, Mrs. Conductor!

[The train continues down the tracks, entering a time tunnel...]

[Later...]

Tabitha: Next stop, Laramidia City Station! Next stop, Laramidia! The Dinosaur Big City!

Lorraine: Lily. I just need to relieve myself in the station bathrooms. You're coming with me.

Lily: Oh. Okay.

[They both leave and approach the train station. Strangely, Lorraine slips behind the building, to the side that faces some dense trees and rocks that leads deeper into the city...]

Lily: You don't like the restrooms either?

Lorraine: Lily, come with me.

Lily, immediately alert: Wh-huh?

Lorraine: You. My daughter. Come with me. We're heading into the city.

Lily: Mom... I'm confused. You said we were having a bathroom break, and now we're going into the city? What about the leaves-

Lorraine: I'll get you the leaves. I'll get you anything you want! I'll give you everything your heart desires! But come with me!

Lily: M-mom, you're scaring me-

Lorraine: Ginko!

[When Lorraine issues the code word, a sauropod emerges from the trees and stands right over Lily. The tail whip is poised as a means of enforcing obedience, and Lily is between four powerful legs.]

Lily, tearing up: Mom! What's going on!?

Lorraine: Don't you speak to me like that! You're coming with me! Without the T-Rex maintaining territory, Pteranodon Terrace isn't our safest option anymore! And do you think I'm blind? I know you're planning on running away with our enemies the moment you're eighteen! I'm not letting that happen! I won't let them hurt you, anyone hurt you! I'll protect you! Your father's death won't be in vein! We're going far away, just the two of us, safe as a family, forever and ever!

Lily: No-

Sauropod, rumbling threateningly: She paid us handsomely for this already. You'd better be a cooperative escort...

Lily: [winces, looking away from the thug and lowering her head in defeat] ... I'll come with you.

Lorraine: Like I said, Lily, I love you. I'd do anything to keep you safe. Come with me.

[The three start to go deeper into the city. Lily looks behind at the station once before disappearing from sight.]

[nakamopapina]

baby mr. conductor?

Drew a baby Sonny with his dad.

This took FOREVER!

[nakamopapina]

Made it!

Dang girl! She looks roughed up!

I really don’t know why I wanted to draw this jackass getting into a sword fight with my favourite old lady.

I got a bit lazy with the background, mainly because I wasn’t sure where to set this drawing.
