"How do I know your name? Well, if I told ya, you'd think I'm nuts or somethin'," the human responded to Cera's question.
"Actually, I think I've seen an awful great deal of weird things today. I still wanna know," replied Cera as Tricia stepped up next to her sister.
"Okay, here goes. I'm not sure how I got here or who brought me here, but I come from the future. The reason I know y'all is 'cuz I come from somewhere in the future where my kind know stories 'bout the bunch of y'all and are big fans," the human explained.
"Fans? What are fans?" asked Cera.
"Others like myself who adore dinosaurs like yourself, so much that we'de love to be friends with y'all," the human replied. It was in that moment that Cera realized the creature was not there to hurt anyone. In fact, Cera was excited to learn she was adored by others she did not even know.
"You mean to tell me that I, we are liked by others we don't even know?" asked Cera.
"Yup, and you're the one I like the most. I do like the bunch of y'all, though."
"Okay, what's with the whole 'y'all' thing? Why do you talk like that?" Cera demanded.
"Well, where I come from, people talk differently depending on where they come from. In the human world, I come from what's known in my country as the South," explained the human.
"Country? People? If I may ask, what ARE you?" asked Cera.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I am what's known as a human, and a whole bunch of us are what's known as people or humans. A country in our world is what is a territory in yours. To make it clearer, think of the valley as your country. The Mysterious Beyond is another country, the Land of Mists is another country, and so on. Get it?" asked the human.
"Uhh, I think I do now. So, now that I know about your kind somewhat, do humans have names or not?" asked Cera.
"Of course we do! Otherwise we could never identify each other."
"Well, then. What is your name?"
"Name's Anna, and I'm happy to finally meetcha," the human, now identified as Anna, replied as she crouched down and extended her right hand. Surprisingly, Cera quickly caught on.
"Uh, nice to meet you, too," said Cera as she extended her right front paw before Anna gave her paw a firm shake. Just then, Tricia came up and nuzzled Anna's hand.
"And you're Tricia. You're so cute," Anna giggled as she patted Tricia on the head. She then stood up to face the girls' father, who stood like a building over her.
