❝ They're not monsters.
They're just animals ❞

Of course when she saw the opportunity she had to take it.

The opportunity being scaring Zach.

She had said goodbye to Claire just a couple of minuets ago and easily found her way to the paddock with the T-Rex, where Zach said they were currently at.

Penny had spotted Zach on the phone, but this time in a call so she could only assume it was probably his mom. Gray was no where to be seen.

"Boo!" She literally screamed in his ear making him yelp and turn around frightened.

Once he saw it was only Penelope he glared at her.

"Not funny." He said through gritted teeth.

She smiled at him. "Actually it's kind of funny."

The person on the other line spoke but Penny couldn't hear them clearly.

"Yeah I'm fine, mom. The girl aunt Claire forced us to hang out with just scared me." He gave her one last glare.

Penny faked gasped and put a hand over her heart in mock hurt.

Zach ignored her and talked to his mother.

"No Claire isn't with us. Okay, I'll talk to you later, bye."

He finally hung up putting his phone in his back pocket.

"It wasn't funny." He said looking at Penny who was still giggling.

She shook her head. "Forced? If you forgot you're the one who told me where you were, you could've let me be clueless with Zara."

Zach crossed his arm. "Gray wanted you here, speaking of Gray we need to find him."

Penny dropped the subject and followed Zach around the small hallway until Gray came running up to the two teenagers.

"Zach! Penny! Look!" The kid held up a paper that said Mosasaurus feeding in the next hour.

"We have to go!" He shouted.

"Will you calm down?" Zach asked him again.

While Penny asked. "What is it with you and watching these things eat?"

"Just come on we need to get good seats!" Gray said before running off and pushing his way through the crowd with Zach and penny following closely behind.

◤☠ ◿

Because Gray insisted on getting there early he had to sit through an agonizing thirty minutes of Zach and Penny fighting like an old married couple.

"If you don't put your phone away I'm gonna through it in the water." Penny said with her arms crossed over her chest.

Gray had forced her to sit next to him which meant she was stuck in between him and Zach.

"If you do that I'll throw you in the water." Zach replied still typing on his phone.

Penny grumbled. "What could possibly be more important than a Mosasaurus?"

He finally looked up to stare her down. "A lot of things, Penny. You should really get out more, have human friends, go on a couple dates. Though the last one might be a bit hard for you."

Penny got fed up and reached out to grab Zach's phone, luckily for him he already had a firm grip on the thing and they began a sort of tug of war over it.

Penny was a lot stronger than she looked, Zach would give her that.

Gray was genuinely embarrassed that he was with two teenagers that were acting like five year olds.

"Guys! Stop! It's starting!" Gray shouted and Penny finally took her attention off Zach and let go of his phone as a lady in a Jurassic world staff t-shirt made her way to the platform.

She began introducing herself and then explaining things Penny already knew about the Mosasaurus.

"Look look look."

Penny nodded as they lowered a dead great white shark to the tank. "I'm watching."

"No, Zach! Look!" He shouted as the Mosasaurus began swimming to the top of the tank.

No matter how much she wanted to feed Zach to the T-Rex she nudged him just in time so he wouldn't miss the Mosasaurus popping out of the water and taking the Great white whole in her mouth and twisting her body around and falling back in the water.

The Mosasaurus's weight caused the water to soak anyone close enough in the audience.

Luckily or unluckily the group was pretty close, soaking them to the bone.

Penny may have looked like a hot mess but she was having fun so she clapped along with everyone else as Grey screamed from next to her out of excitement.

"That was awesome!" He yelled turning to the two teens grabbing onto Penny's shoulder.

She turned to look at Zach and to her surprise he was actually laughing and smiling, his wet hair falling over his eyes.

"That was pretty cool." He smiled at the blonde.

If possible Penny's smile got wider and she let herself giggle while looking at Zach.

"I told you giving a shit isn't gonna kill you." She repeated her line from earlier in the day.

She liked this part of Zach.

He was actually smiling and laughing and fun to be around. Plus he had a nice smile.

The seats suddenly began descending and Gray still had a hold of Penny's shoulder but she grabbed onto Zach's wrist looking around worriedly.

"Okay, hold on tight, we're gonna give you an even closer look at our Mosasaurus." Said the lady.

Soon the group was able to see the Mosasaurus underwater through the glass.

Everyone began clapping and cheering and jumping up as she finished her meal and swam around almost as if she knew she was being watched.

It even made Zach clap along with everyone else.

"It has eighty-eight teeth!" Gray informed them and began snapping pictures on his disposable camera.

Zach laughed and actually looked glad to be here, like he was just realizing how truly amazing everything was here.

"Hey you wanna see something else cool?" Zach asked turning to both of them.

Penny gave him a questioning look. "What did you have in mind?"
