"Take a look out there." the pilot called back to the three.
Lily looked out the window and saw the island coming into view.
"Wow," she breathed.
"Isla Nublar." Todd said as she leaned over her shoulder to look out.
"It's beautiful."
Lily could hardly contain her excitement at the moment. She would be able to see, hear and perhaps touch an actual dinosaur.
As they landed on a helicopter pad, Simon Masrani stood there to welcome them.Todd stepped off first, and then helped Lily get down.
"I'm so glad you took me up on my offer Lily." Simon smiled at her as the young woman looked around hoping to see a dinosaur.
"Thank you for having me, Mr. Masrani."
"Hello?!" Zara called from the helicopter glaring at Todd. Todd rolled his eyes before walking over to help her.
"Thank you!" she huffed.
"Come let me give you a tour." he said.
He turned to Todd and Zara.
"Mr. York and Ms. Young, Ms. Dearing will be here in a moment to help you get settled."
Lily followed Simon around as he led her to the entrance of the park.
"Are you excited?" he asked.
She could only nod.
He chuckled. "Good."
As they entered park, Lily was thrust into a new world. She was so used to the quiet of the museum with the few visitors but the park was packed with families of tourists. There were screams and laughter. Lily just stood still looking everywhere.
"It's a lot to take in the first time, isn't it?" Simon said.
She saw a whole bunch of children surrounding a small fenced in area. She walked over leaving Simon's side and saw a bunch of young dinosaurs walking around as children fed them from the palm of their hands.

"Here ya go Ma'am." a worker said dropping some feed into her hand. A small triceratops waddled over sniffing at her hand and letting out a call.
"My goodness," she lowered her hand and the triceratops began eating away, it's beak like mouth tickling her hand. "This can't be real..."
"Oh but it is." Simon said standing beside her. "It's very real. This is our Gentle Giants Petting Zoo."
"A dinosaur petting zoo? What's next dinosaur rides?" she laughed.
"Actually, if I could direct your attention over..." He led her over to where she saw children riding triceratops around as if they were ponies.She had no idea what to say.
"Just let it all sink in, we haven't even gotten to the best part."
They walked over to a gift shop where Masrani grabbed a couple of flat peak hats with the Jurassic World logo imprinted on it.
"The sun will kill you here somedays." he told her handing her one. The shop merchant wished them a good day as they walked out.
"You use herbivores only-"
"Only when it comes to the riding and petting aspect, we have carnivores, omnivores and other herbivores throughout the park. We can't have the children petting a T-Rex now can we?"
"Well no, but while herbivores aren't very known for their aggression, they are animals..."
"Ms. Goodwin, I assure, our dinosaurs are very well acquainted with humans from the moment they hatch."
"I'm not doubting your work Mr. Masrani, I'm just..."
"Let me show you a few other of our works and then you can give me your full opinion, deal?"
"Deal."
Lily walked into the T-Rex exhibit behind Simon.
"It's feeding time." he smiled.

Lily made her way to the front of the window as goat was lowered in dangling.
"A live feeding?" she said slightly impressed.
"Well, we attempted to feed her just raw meat but she refused to eat unless it was still kicking."
"As she should." Lily said. "They're hunters, they rely on noise and smell. If anything, she would probably prefer feedings at night."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, everything is much quieter at night, their senses are all open. It's the perfect time to hunt. Their sense of smell is so much stronger."
"Really?" he crossed his arms watching as tourists turned to listen to her. She was watching the T-Rex stomping around as the goat fidgeted and cried out.
"Oh yes, you see, while examining the brains of these dinosaurs, it was discovered that they had something called olfactory bulbs. Looking at closest relative the birds, they also have the olfactory bulbs and they heavily rely on their sense of smell to find meat. Most of their brain function is dedicated to smell. Now, don't get me wrong, they probably wouldn't pass on feeding on a dead dinosaur but the excitement lies within the hunt."
She looked over to see the people watching her. Simon smiled before wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
"You're going to fit in very nicely around here."
Lily rode in the car as Simon drove out of the main center of the park.
"You know, Ms. Goodwin, many people don't share in the excitement of dinosaurs anymore."
"You don't have to tell me twice, try giving a tour to two people while other exhibits are constantly packed."
"So you understand, the park here while still quite popular is losing it's luster. People want more and more."
"What more could people possibly want?"
"I don't know." Simon admitted. "When we open new exhibits are numbers increase but then they dwindle back down once the hype is over. I want people to feel that excitement every time."
"Right."
"I think you can bring back that excitement."
"Me? But how?"
" The way you speak about these dinosaurs captivates people, you draw their attention and that's what we need. We need them leaving our attractions saying, did you hear that? Deep down people don't want to just look at the dinosaurs they want a story. We can't allow our dinosaurs to live exactly the way they did when they roamed this Earth as much as we try. But we can paint the picture in their heads and allow them to see the animals up close."
"So you want me to be a tour guide?" she asked.
"No, not just a tour guide." he said. "I don't want you just working in that. I want you involved in this park. Reading your work Ms. Goodwin, you know these dinosaurs. You know these dinosaurs better and that's without ever meeting one. I want you to see our genetics lab, our infirmary, our hatchery...I want you to see the world...Jurassic World."

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
