Nightmares, Pteranodons and Chryslers, Oh My!

Who: Marooned People, You Know Who They Are
Where: Maroon Planet (No, It's Not Purple)
When: Daybreak
============================================
> Jay burst through the trees.
> "Who died!" he yelled
> "N...nothing nothing.. bad dream" Tara stuttered, convinced
> everyone now knew about...the incident...
Suddenly Keto's eyes shot opened and he sat bolt upright.
"CLEAVAGE!" he yelled. Everyone else was awoken by the shout. Jay
turned to look at Keto.
"Well, it wasn't Keets that died...pity," he snorted, "Come on, we
need to get a move on, the sun'll be up soon, and anything within a
three mile radius will have been attracted by the sound of Mr
Nightmare's bad dreams here."
"Shut up Chrysler," muttered Keto somewhat shakily, unable to
summon a better insult than that. Jay shook his head and began to
climb up a nearby tree to scout out the area.
As Tara began to take charge of the twins (who were now sitting up
and rubbing their eyes...oh, and about eight years old) and the
others began to pack up the makeshift camp, Keto climbed to his feet.
Well, the fact that he'd only just remembered something he'd really
rather forget under stressful conditions in his sleep pointed to the
fact that they were probably repressed memories. He didn't need
Cerebrum to tell him that.
And he could quite clearly see why he'd suppressed them!
Keto's musings were interrupted from a yell from above.
"LOOK OUT!"
There was a ear-splitting shriek, and every member of the team dove
to the ground as a huge pterandon swooped overhead, its wingspan
narrowly missing the trees, claws tearing up shreds of undergrowth as
it tried to catch an unfortunate soul in its talons.
It turned out that the unfortunate soul was the pteranodon itself,
however - as Jay, with remarkable presence of mind (if absence of
sanity), leapt off his tree and onto the creature's back.
As the screeching dinosaur soared off upwards, everyone craned
their necks to watch, most of them looked rather worred (most, but
not all!) Ambee cried, "Uncle Jay!"
"Hmm, oh dear, what a great pity, let's go!" said Keto, and quickly
turned to head in the direction of the base.
He froze as there was a whistle and a triumphant yell from above.
Looking back upwards, he saw the pterandon come swooping down once
again...but this time with a grinning Jay Chrysler perched atop its
back.
"Climb a tree and jump on!" yelled Jay, as the creature slowly
flapped its way along. After a few seconds of stunned silence,
everyone madly scrambled up branches as the pteranodon soared low to
the ground. As it passed under the trees, the team let go...and
landed squarely on the huge beast's back.
"You're saying you can FLY this thing?" snapped Keto sceptically
from his uncomfortable position, trying to maintain balance between
the huge wings.
"I can fly a BRICK if needs be!" retorted Jay, "Now be quiet and
hurry up and fall off!"
Sourly, Keto turned away, wondering how much quicker this flying
deathtrap was going to get them to the base.
"We're not crossing any oceans on the way there, I hope," he
muttered.
