Hey-O! Welcome to my first Jurassic Park fic! I own nothing except Maggie.

I watched as Alan held the door shut, trying to keep the raptors out of the control room. Ellie was at Alan's feet trying to help him keep the door shut.

"Ellie, get back and boot up the door locks!" Alan said.

"You can't hold it by yourself!" she said staying where she was.

"Try to reach the gun!"

Ellie reached out her foot, trying to pull it by the strap, failing.

"I can't get it unless I move!"

"I got it!" I said picking up the gun.

As I stood, I noticed something moving right beside her. I turned her head to see a raptor standing behind the glass window, staring me right in the eye. How did I get mixed up in all this?

My name is Maggie Sattler. I'm sure you never heard of me. My older sister, Ellie is the more famous out of us Sattler sisters. I was always stuck in her shadow all of my life, always second best. She was better than me in every way. Looks, brains, you name it. Even my college professors said she was the better student.

Me? I'm just known as Ellie Sattler's little sister, the klutz who would bump into anything.

I guess my story begins a few days ago. I had just graduated college and had decided to stay with Ellie for a while. I had just driven up to the current digging site Ellie was at. There were some trailers parked around.

"Ellie!" I called out. "Sis, you here?"

The door to one of the trailers opened to reveal a young woman with blonde hair tied back in a braid. She smiled as she saw me.

"Maggie!" she said running toward me.

"Hey, El", I said as I hugged her.

"So the college graduate finally decided to join us?" Ellie said smiling.

"It's just temporary", I said. "I need someplace to stay till I earn enough money to get my own place. I don't want to be a burden."

"Nonsense, it's no trouble at all", she said. "Alan and I won't mind."

"Alan?"

"Yeah, Alan Grant", Ellie said. "You remember him from last Thanksgiving?"

I looked over her shoulder to see the man himself. Alan Grant, one of the most famous paleontologists I knew. I remembered him, alright. I remember literally bumping into him and getting pumpkin pie and whipped cream all over myself. Some first impression.

As I looked at Alan, I had come to remember how handsome I thought he was. There he stood in those jeans and those sunglasses and that hat. Too bad my sister got him first. Who was I kidding? I never would've had a chance with him even if he and Ellie weren't together. All he'd ever see me was just a klutz.

"Do you need help with your bags?" Ellie asked.

"No, I can manage", I said. "It's just two bags."

I reached into the back of my truck and pulled my stuff out of the flatbed. As I carried it, I saw Alan stepping aside holding the door open.

"Thanks", I mumbled looking away hoping he wouldn't see the blush creeping up on my face.

Unfortunately, that was distracting as I didn't look in front of me to see the front step of the trailer. I tripped over the step and fell forward dropping my bags.

"Nice to see you again, Maggie", Alan chuckled.

"Yeah…" I said. "You too."

Another great impression.
