When Trevor comes back from the Ice Age and one of his children wants to play a funny prank with the eternally confused grandpa?
Better seasons greasons 👍
{One Hadrosaur Rides Away Arc}
(In the medical car; Shiny and Don walk in)
Gilbert: Hey guys!
Don: … *waves to Gilbert*
Shiny: … uh… hi, Gilbert…
Trevor: Yikes… you can feel the change in the atmosphere in here…
Thurston: Oh, well… I’m going to get something from the dining car if you two want something other than the Doctor approved foods
Trevor: Some of the soup of the day? I don’t want to cross the line too far…
Gilbert: I think I want some of your cooking, Pops…
Thurston: I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to enter the kitchen, is there something else?
Gilbert: Same as grandpa then…
Thurston: *looks at Shiny and Don* Would you two like me to get you anything from the dining car?
Shiny: No thank you, Thurston. I think mom would be very upset if we eat dining car food out of the dining car
Thurston: Understandable, so I won’t overstep
(Thurston hugs Gilbert carefully as to not aggravate his injuries’
Thurston: Alright, then I’ll be right back, fy mabi
(Thurston kisses the top of Gilbert’s head and leaves)
Gilbert: How are you guys?
Shiny: We’re doing okay, sort of… I’m sorry that you and Trevor got hurt..
Gilbert: I’m sorry too… *looks at Don* Don, I know that you’re angry at Dad and Pops, but please-
Don: Who said I was angry at them?! I’m not-
Gilbert: Don. It doesn’t take a scientist to figure out that you’re at least upset with them, but please try to understand that they needed to walk away
Don: They shouldn’t have to punish Lily for what Lorraine did!
Trevor: Woah! They’re not walking away to punish Lily! They’re walking away because they’ve had enough!
Don: …
Shiny: *gets closer to Gilbert, to show that she’s letting Trevor talk* …
Trevor: Don, look at me please.
Don: *looks at Trevor* …
Trevor: Now, I’m not going to explain on Sonny’s behalf on why he’s walking out; because I believe that he’d want to have that conversation with you directly. However, I will explain for Thurston; now you might not understand his reasoning, but that might be because you’re looking at this like a child and not a parent.
Don: I don’t understand
Trevor: Let me explain; No good parent wants to see their child hurt or suffer from someone else’s poor decisions, and when something like that does happen, a parent’s first instinct and priority is to take their child somewhere safe and protect them from further harm, even if it meant that they might need to walk away from focusing someone else’s child.
Don: They still walked out on the search! They walked out on Lily!!! *sobs* They don’t care about her!!!
Shiny: Don!
Gilbert: *stares at Don and his grandfather, unsure of what to do* …
Trevor: Don. A parent’s decision to focus on their own child instead of someone else’s during a chaotic, emotional and stressful event, even if that other child is missing, doesn’t mean they don’t care about that other child
Don: But I- I still trusted them! Both of them!!
Trevor: Don… I know that despite my explanation; you’re still mad at them, and you’re allowed to feel that way. But it’s also unrealistic and unreasonable to expect them to prioritize looking for Lily when their own child needs them right now.
Don: *looks away, clearly still upset* …
Trevor: Take some time to think on it some more, and maybe it’ll be a little easier to understand.
Don: I’ll be fine... *leaves, almost slamming the door* …
Gilbert: I don’t think he really understood what you said
Trevor: If he’s as upset as Larry believed he was when your parents decided to walk out, then it’ll take a good while to set in. Just give him a little space
Shiny: It’s not fair for Don to still be mad at them after you explained why they had to walk away!
Trevor: It’s not fair to expect Don to drop that anger the second the explanation was given either. He needs time to process and accept this explanation. Believe it or not, he’s still allowed to be upset about it
Shiny: Oh, I… I think I understand a little better
Gilbert: I’m sorry… this wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t get hurt…
Trevor: Don’t take the blame for something that was out of your control. If anyone is to blame for this, this is on Lorraine for pushing us to go through with her plan, and myself for caving…
Gilbert: Oh… okay…
Trevor: Kids. This may sound personal, and it sort of is, Lily and Leroy are much safer with their herd. *looks scared* I see too much of my own mother in Lorraine. How she comfortably pins the blame on others, paints others as the enemy for having reasonable expectations and boundaries, how she’s beginning to become so controlling, even- *looks away* how she tries to pin folks against one another when things don’t go her way, and weaponizes the relationships of her children, and her former friendships to get what she wants…
Shiny: *face pales* …
Gilbert: *looks terrified* Is- is that why Pops doesn’t want her anywhere near me?
Trevor: Could be.
Shiny: Trevor…
Trevor: *looks at Shiny* Yes?
Shiny: I think- I think I need to tell you something…
[At Adventure Camp]
Dolores: *sees Annie’s file and reads out loud* Summarized personality description: pump a small, hyper raptor with straight caffeine and give it a pinch of cocaine…
Dolores: …
Sonny: Thurston! Why would you write that?!
Thurston: It was the most accurate description I could come up with!
Trevor: We’re going to get killed!
Dolores: *nods* Accurate.
{One Hadrosaur Rides Away Arc}
Gilbert: Dr. Brendan, I’d like to get some real sunlight pleeeeeaaaaaase!
Dr. Brendan: *finally caving* Alright, but I don’t want you to be on that leg quite yet. *pulls out a cart meant to transport patients* also I want you to stay on this cart
Gilbert: Ah, I knew there was a catch… Okay, Pops! Can we go to the next car please?
Thurston: Okay *looks at Trevor* Dad, would like to go next?
Trevor: Ehhh… I’m feeling comfortably lazy today under this nice heating lamp…
Dr. Brendan: Good, that means the heating lamp is working exactly as it should. Nor would I allow you to leave the car with your injuries.
Trevor: *yawns* You’re the boss here, Doctor
Dr. Brendan: Thurston. Bring him right back if he tries to leave the cart
Thurston: Yes, sir. We’ll be out of the car for at most 30 minutes, don’t want him away from your observation for too long
Dr. Brendan: Thank you. That way I don’t have to look for you when I want you back
Gilbert: Less chatting more outside time!
Thurston: A please would be greatly appreciated, fy mabi
Gilbert: Please, more outside time?
Thurston: Much better
(Gilbert impatiently gets on the little cart, trying not to wag his tail too much, Thurston takes Gilbert to the neighbouring car as requested)
Gilbert: Yesss! Sunlight! Fresh air!
Annie: *looks over* Gilbert!
(Annie runs over, but Thurston lets out a quiet growl, swishing his tail like he’s sizing her up slightly, looking on edge)
Annie: Okay! Okay… I see that you haven’t forgiven me yet, and that’s perfectly okay… and expected.. *backs up a bit* I’ll stay right over here
Gilbert: Pops!! What’s gotten into you?!
Annie: I made a poorly timed joke, and he didn’t take it very well… it was 100% my fault
(Buddy lets out a low, rumbling noise, which Thurston responds by standing between him and Gilbert, and he growls back at Buddy)
Annie: *hits Buddy with her tail* Stop it! You’re not helping!! >:(
Buddy: He started it
Annie: He did not
Gilbert: *raises his uninjured hand* May I ask what was the joke?
Annie: I joked that I was gonna smack you upside the head when I see you for getting hurt, and your Pops took it as a threat. Then in turn, he growled at me, to which I have acknowledged that I rightfully deserved that response
Gilbert: Oh.
Buddy: I still think he overreacted…
Annie: And Ma told you otherwise, so guess who’s actually in the right here, Bud.
Gilbert: …
Annie: Anyways, Ma told me not to get too close to you until your Pops forgives me, otherwise I’m just asking for him to do more than just growl and hiss
Gilbert: Ah, well, it’ll take Pops one or two days to forgive you, give or take you don’t get too close… and Buddy keeps his rumble fits to himself.
(Sonny and Boris enter the car, and Thurston immediately relaxes and walks to Gilbert, checking on him like he’s still a hatchling)
Sonny: Who ruffled Poppa’s feathers here?
(Gilbert and Annie both point at Buddy with no hesitation)
Annie: Thurston’s not happy with me-
Buddy: He growled at you!
Annie: BECAUSE I GAVE HIM A FUCKING REASON, DIPSHIT!! Dad, I want this on the record- I did something that Thurston perceived as a threat to Gilbert- even Ma said I deserved that growl!
Boris: Stop the raging. Both of you
Sonny: *leans closer to Boris* Boris, we need to tell Buddy to back off, now.
Boris: Oh?
Sonny: To keep it short and sweet, treat this like how you would treat it as if the kids are messing with a very angry momma who’s feeling extra protective of her baby
Annie: *snickers*
(Boris quickly looks at Buddy more firmly)
Boris: Buddy.
Buddy: What?
Boris: Back off. You look like an asshole
(Buddy grumbles then stalks away)
Sonny: Need me to talk to him or-
Boris: Stay with your mate. *follows Buddy to give him an earful*
Sonny: *looks at Annie* …
Annie: Sorry, seems like both of them are on their man period :T
Sonny: Alright, Thurston’s just hormonal right now
Sonny: You two can continue to chat, as long as you don’t get any closer to one another
Annie: So, Gilbert… how many days until your Pops forgives me?
Gilbert: One or two days as long as Buddy doesn’t ruffle his feathers again
Annie: Mother. Fucker. >:(
Sonny: Sounds about right… just give Gilbert some space, be patient and Thurston will forgive you pretty quick
Annie: That’s what I’m trying to do, but Buddy’s getting in the way of earning that forgiveness because he thinks he knows what’s going on right now >:(
Sonny: I think Boris is gonna give him an earful on this, which we both know will be nicer than Dolores giving him an earful
Annie: Yeah…
Gilbert: Annie, what sort of creatures have you seen so far during your migration?
Annie: Glad you asked!
[Adult/Next Gen AU; The Confrontation with Nonna]
(Trevor, Shiny and Thurston all manage to track Nonna down at one of the neighbourhoods in town)
Trevor: Remember, our main goal is getting information about what she talked to Ansisa about.
Thurston: Probably her usual crap.
Shiny: Or worse.
Trevor: We mustn’t let our emotions control us. As much as she is a professional pain in the ass, we can’t let her words influence our actions
Shiny: Okay
Thurston: No promises, Dad
(They approach her)
Trevor: Nora, there you are, we’ve been looking for you
Nonna: Trevor. Afternoon, how may I help you?
Trevor: Ansisa is missing and I heard that you were the last person to see her, what were you two talking about?
Nonna: *defensive* I simply told her the truth!
Thurston: Ha! Your definition of truth is vastly different than most people’s definition of truth, so what did you tell her? Come on, you can cough it up!
Nonna: *annoyed at Thurston* I told her that she is the reason for that petty drama that happened years ago! Sonny’s hospitalization, her mother’s near death experience! Her father’s scar! Everything that mattered!!
Shiny: The drama that happened all those years ago was because us who were involved had a massive overreaction on our end!! No one else’s!
Nonna: What about your jealousy?! Your inability to bear children-
Shiny: -It was a simple poor choice of judgment. Everyone has done it at least once in their lifetimes! And before you finish, Annie didn’t ‘throw it in my face’! It was an issue at the time because I made it an issue!
Trevor: And no child is to blame for egg binding!! That’s just pure bad luck! Shame on you for blaming an innocent child for things she had no control over, especially to blame her for things that happened before she even hatched?!
Thurston: As for my husband’s mental breakdown, it was caused by many factors, but not a single one was caused by Ansisa!
Nonna: Many can argue on whether or not she really is to blame for all that… but there is one thing that we all know that no one can deny she’s at fault for!
Shiny: You didn’t!
Nonna: She’s definitely at fault for what happened to Thurston! No amount of arguing can change the fact that she climbed up high and was the reason he had to go after her, fell and had to get surgery for his hip to fix the damage, and yet he’s still physically incapable of doing much of what he used to, and to end up on all that medication! That monster-
Shiny: -YOU’RE THE MONSTER!! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO INFLICT SUCH CRUELTY!!
Thurston: And to decide you can dictate who’s to blame for what misfortunes and mistakes?! It’s vile! Disgusting! Shameful!!
Nonna: Why are you- out of everyone defending that monster?! You will never run again! You’re chances of retiring early have skyrocketed thanks to that little creatu-
(Thurston swings his cane at Nonna, which she barely dodged, she began to fly up into the air)
Thurston: You have no right to decide who’s to blame for others’ misfortunes on their behalf!!
Nonna: You’re just blind to the tru-
(Thurston throws his cane at Nonna, but she barely dodges it and flies away)
Shiny: *starts going after her* I won’t let you get away!
Trevor: Let her go, Shiny!!
Shiny: *stops in her tracks and looks at Trevor* But she can’t get away with it! Not this time!!!
Trevor: She won’t! Tabs will take care of her, later. Right now, we need to relay what we got to everyone else, before we lose any more time
Shiny: *flies to Thurston’s cane and picks it up and hands it to him* Here, nice aim might I add.
Thurston: *looks exhausted* Thank you, but I got so angry that I didn’t think… she’s now gone…
Trevor: It’s fine. We got what we wanted. Now, if she’s smart, she’ll take it as a warning of what’s to come
Shiny: If she was smart, she wouldn’t have done this! Or even a third of what she’s done!
Thurston: *nods* …
Trevor: You do have a point.
Shiny: Grandpa Trevor, what do you mean that Grandma Tabitha will take care of her?
Trevor: She has decades of personal scores to settle with Nora, it’s best to let her dish out the vengeance this time.
{One Hadrosaur Rides Away Arc}
(Gilbert wakes up in the medical car)
Gilbert: Poppa?
Thurston: Gilbert! How are you feeling?
Gilbert: Sore… why?
Tiny: You suffered a broken leg, a strained tail, along with some internal injuries, but nothing that needed surgery- sorry, but it was bad. Trevor also got hit pretty bad- he got the worst of it, Don has the least amount of injuries compared to you two…
Gilbert: Oh… please don’t find this rude, but why are you hiding in here?
Tiny: Mr. Conductor doesn’t want me to share the same air as Mrs. Lambeosaurus right now, so he asked me to stay in here and help Dr. Brendan
Gilbert: Where’s Don?
Thurston: He left. Safe to say he might be quite angry at your father and I for walking out of the search. I’m sorry Gilbert, but I can’t take watching Lorraine act the way she’s been acting much longer, and almost everyone excusing her behaviour! I- I couldn’t take it anymore-
Gilbert: Pops! There’s no need for you to tell me your reason for walking out, I’m more surprised you stayed for as long as you did…
Thurston: Honestly, I mainly stayed this long for you kids… because I know how much your friend matters to you guys, and even though Don might not believe it right now, I am genuinely worried about Lily and Leroy, but because you got hurt the way you did; I need to put you first right now.
Gilbert: You’re just doing your duty as one of my parents, and protecting me. I know, and I understand. Even if Don might not right now…
Tiny: *looks down* Yeah…
Tiny: Wait. Don said he was angry?
Trevor: *opens the dividing curtain* He didn’t have to. Larry said that it was rather obvious from his facial expression and body language that he was quite angry about it.
Tiny: …
Trevor: Tiny, before you say anything about not being able to help Don, you’re doing so much here! Unfortunately, Don is being blinded by his feelings for Lily, that he’s no longer seeing reason! There’s no amount of being free that’ll help him there!
Tiny: What can we do about it?
Trevor: There’s nothing we can do, except wait until he can see it himself, and more importantly accepts it, and be there to support him when he does.
Tiny: Nothing we can do, huh….
Gilbert: Pops, where’s Dad? Is he angry?
Thurston: Getting some fresh air, and yes he’s very angry at Lorraine, and possibly angry at Cameron/Ellen and Parker/Colin. Do you want me to go get him?
Gilbert: No, I was just curious… why is Dad angry at Mr. and Mrs. Pteranodon?
Thurston: I guess angry may be a strong word, I think more accurately he’s losing his patience with them for taking that treatment from Lorraine, and not saying anything about how she’s treating your friends
Gilbert: Oh…
Trevor: Honestly, I’m losing my patience with them myself. That’s why I don’t want to see them right now
Tiny: I don’t blame you… I don’t want to talk to them right now either for the same reason…
Gilbert: …
Trevor: Gilbert. I don’t want you to rejoin that search party if you recover before this is over.
Gilbert: But Grandpa-
Trevor: Lorraine has gotten desperate enough that she’s willing to sacrifice others *gestures to himself and Gilbert* she’s already shown that she’s not above it. Unfortunately, it appears like most of the other members either can’t or won’t see it.
Thurston: *looks at Trevor* She’s going to get someone killed at this rate! I won’t give her the opportunity to consider Gilbert as an option again! *looks at Gilbert* She already threw you and your grandfather into the snake pit once! Who’s to say she won’t try again?!
Gilbert: You tried to warn them of this observation?
Tiny: He tried. But almost everybody that was in the room obviously brushed it off as Thurston only saying those things because he was emotional from you getting hurt.
Gilbert: So they didn’t even stop to think about it?
Tiny: Maybe Larry? I don’t know… it’s hard to tell with him. If Tricia was in the train car, she would’ve backed him up
Gilbert: Oh… okay
Trevor: Once your grandmother comes by again, we best tell her everything… otherwise everybody here is going to be on the receiving end of her wrath
