HydroWorld: Nolan's World - Season 2, Episode 5: "Vera's Velociraptor Friend"

When a midnight shipment to the Hydro Rescue Team's remote Rippon base departs from the Hydrohovership Helicarrier, one of Rex Dangervest's reconnaissance raptors boards the cargo shuttle by mistake. After fleeing from the shuttleport at the base upon arrival, it cuts through the forest to the opposite side of the Rippon University School Playground and rests there while waiting for assistance to arrive. Nolan's best friend Vera eventually discovers it the next morning and names it Blue before offering to take it home with her that afternoon.

Later that afternoon, best friends Nolan and Tasnia arrive at Vera's house to pick up their friend for an important meeting on the Hydrohovership Helicarrier after school, she shows them the raptor in her backyard. That's when Nolan recognizes the dinosaur's blue skin, as well as the lime green stripes down it's side as one of Rex Dangervest's raptors, and advises that she return it to Rex immediately. Vera tells him that she does not want to return the creature yet, as the dinosaur is now her friend. instead, she instructs the raptor to stay in her bedroom until she returns from the Helicarrier.

As you would expect, things do not end well between Vera and the Raptor that night before bedtime. She comes back from the meeting to a very messy room, with the raptor snacking on all her clothes and digging through drawers. She gets very upset about this, sends her new friend back outside, and radioes her other friends Molly, Tooey, and Trini to come help her clean up the mess.

The next morning, Vera takes her new velociraptor friend back to school. She forgives it for last night's incident, and lets it sit with her in class that day. Mrs. Marsh isn't too happy about Vera's idea to bring the dinosaur into class, but she still allows it for the day as long as it follows all the rules. Overall, things start off very well. The raptor does listen and follow instructions, thanks to how well it was trained by its real owner. But once it comes time for recess and lunch, and the class leaves the room, The raptor starts digging into things, including the students' backpacks and cubbies. Then it starts playing with the lamp, and eventually finds the teacher's not-so-secret stash of candies. After eating through the entire stash, the dinosaur bounces off the walls and starts ramming into furniture.

The second Mrs. Marsh opens the door while returning the students from lunch an hour later, Blue bolts out of the room like a rocket, dashing through the hall towards Mrs. Grogan's door. Vera calls out for him, but its no use. The real big surprise comes when Mrs. Marsh walks into her severely-damaged classroom.

The hyperactive dinosaur busts open the door in Mrs. Grogan's classroom, terrifying Nolan and his friends and damaging everything in its path. Mrs. Grogan calls the front office for assistance, while Nolan switches to full commander mode and issues orders to his friends, who are also his teammates. He calls his secret Hydrocave base for backup, and flying drones with built-in net shooters swarm into the school building to try and capture the creature.

After chasing the dinosaur all over the school, Nolan and all of his friends decide to take a break in the school courtyard. Vera apologizes to everyone for not listening to Nolan and returning the dinosaur to Rex. Had she been more careful when bringing the dinosaur into school, even her home, none of this would have happened. Fortunately, Rex Dangervest arrives looking for his raptor. He rapidly locates it using a tracking beacon and then traps it using the net shooter in his extreme off-roader vehicle. Everyone cheers.

Vera apologizes to Rex for not returning her new best friend sooner, and learns a very important lesson about how important it is to understand your creature before you adopt it. Rex forgives her, telling her that she can still be friends with Blue and come to visit anytime she wants.

As Rex and his raptor board the return shuttle back to the Helicarrier, he thanks Vera for taking such good care of Blue even though he caused so much trouble. He promises to take better care of the raptor himself and always keep an eye on it whenever a new supply shipment leaves the Helicarrier. Vera wipes away tears after saying goodbye to Blue one last time when the return shuttle takes off. Nolan gives her a hug and reminds her that Blue will always be her best friend, and so will he.
