The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Cera heard Petrie's voice "She close" Cera whispered

"Yeah I heard it too but sound like she still a bit away we should be alright for now" Trihorn whispered back.

Trihorn looked at Cera and gives her a nod, he gets out of the hiding place and hides some bushes near by quickly waiting to see if Ducky coming towards him as he hid in his new spot

"Crazy Trihorn" Cera thought in her head watching him quickly hide in another spot.

Odon looks down at the small scar on his front right leg, then back up at Zila, trying to concentrate on if he's seen the face before.  But like anything else in his childhood, his mind comes up empty.  "Sorry...  Nothing comes to mind at all."

----------

Guan looks over to a group of rustling leaves, thinking that it was Ducky, but breathes deeply when it was Trihorn instead.

"She almost got you?" he asked, no louder than a whisper.

"She got good hearing for a swimmer" Trihorn whispers back very low to Guan.

---

"Lets try this..." Zila thinks "Your father had a go at you in front of you and two others saying shamful things about you being friends with different kinds and hitting you with his thumb claw that gave you that scar" Zila said to Odon hoping that would work.

"Ha!" Odon said, laughing.  "Not even close!  First, my father never attacks me because I was friends with other kinds.  He does it as a training drill for me, my brother, and another young member of the herd.  And second, the scar was done because of one of our many close calls with those fast moving shapteeth.  It was when I blocked one of it's long claws away from a little swimmer..."  He pauses, wide-eyed at Zila, a long-lost memory coming back to him like it was never lost.  "You were that swimmer...  the one everyone calls Zil Zil.  It seems we have met once before."

----------

"I wouldn't say she's bad at hide and seek..." Guan replied in a whisper.

"Yes and the Threehorn father of that child Cera is Tops our threehorn child friend. talk about all of us being in the same place and all of us having families. It been a while Odoy. I bet if Tops heard this he'll be suprised" Zila said and heard a cough him and Odon turned to see Mr Threehorn

"So that why you looked like someone I knew before... I can't believe our childhood ended with us all back together... all this time and I didn't realise it. you was self sured trying to help us Zila and you Odon always the one found ways of having fun with the smallest of things... I well being the moody one out the bunch" Mr Threehorn recalled his memiors walking up to Zila and Odon.

"I used to be the fun one," Odon said, frowning, "until yet another sharptooth attack forced my herd to move again.  That was when my group moved to a lake and we stayed there until the Great Earthshake destroyed much of herd, leaving me, my brother, his mate, and their three children, the very same kids playing hide and seek in the Great Valley."

"Yes that broke every herd up from there, But it seems we here all back again. the kids reaction would be  shocking to know that us three was and I say still best friends... I don't think the Tritail friendship we did could be broke unless you two forgot that" Zila said to them both

"I remember that, we all turned around touching our tail tips together and swearing by our hearts that we be friends forever no matter what" Mr Threehorn sighed remembering that day now regrating the rude words he gave Odon when he first arrived with the others. "Odon... I appolize for when your herd first arrived I feel such a fool for doing it..." Mr Threehorn muttered.

Odon shook his head.  "There's no need to apologize.  I never would really care about what you said back in that past.  And personally, it's not the right time for me to tell Guan and girls about our past friendship..."

He looks away from the other two.  "I'm going to go check on the kids..."  And he leaves without saying another word.

"His changed a lot" Zila mumbled.

"Well I've going, talk to you later" Mr Threehorn walks away.

Zila walks and stops seeing Ducky looking around he stands where he stood watching "Seem like things look fine here" he muttered to himself watching carefully

Spike ends up finishing the bush he started on and moves on to the next bush, one that happened to be one of the bushes Cera was hiding behind...

----------

Guan takes a peek over the bushes for only a moment, then whispers to Trihorn.  "Ducky's getter closer.  It won't be long until she searches here.  I'm heading over to another hiding spot.  If you want to come with, then you better keep up."  And with a smirk, he slinks out of the trees away from the clearing where Ducky is searching, and quietly heads for a hill clustered with rocks.

----------

Donna takes a peak from her hiding place, looking around.  "I wonder how Turio is doing..." she says to herself.

(Cera hinding in a Log)

"Coming" Trihorn whispered following Guan

----

Turio sits in the cave drinking some of the water and watching the light on the roof of the small cave "Ducky no find me here, I will wait for a bit then if Ducky do not find I give myself up" Turio said to himself

(Ok.  So Spike is eating a bush next to the log she's hiding in)

Guan keeps a quiet and steady pace so that Trihorn can stay with him, rounding around a corner of rocks to another hiding place, nearly runs into Grandpa Longneck!

"Oops!  Sorry, Grandfather Longeck," Guan said, as low as a whisper.

Grandpa chuckles and lowers his head to the kids' height.  "Still playing hide and seek?" he whispered.

Guan nods.  "Littlefoot may still be hiding.  I saw Ducky find Spike, but that was about it."

"Ok then.  Go and hide before Ducky sees you."

"Thanks, Grandfather Longneck," Guan replied softly and leads Trihorn to the next hiding spot; a circle of rocks standing in the hill and overlooking the clearing where most of kids are hiding.

----------

Donna had left her hiding space to search for Turio, reaching the crack where Goanna is hiding.

Goanna notices her sister outside.  "Psst!  Donna!  Go someplace else to hide!  You're going to lead Ducky here!"

Donna moves closer to the crack.  "Have you seen Turio?  I can't find him."

"I don't know where he is.  He's small.  He might be hiding in a good place.  Now go!"

Donna snorts and walks off, searching someplace else.

Turio hears movement above him knowing it was a bit bigger then Ducky from the small shakes he jumps in the water and comes out the cave coming out the waterhole surface and sees Donna "Hey you be found?" Turio asked

----

Trihorn looked at Guan "How good is Cera at this game? she seem to be very calm when I left the long?" Trihorn asked him with a whisper.

Donna turns and sees Turio, then breathes a sigh of relief and walks over to him.  "Not yet," she whispered.  "It got a little too quiet and I got bored.  You must've picked a good hiding spot under the waterpool."

----------

Guan looks carefully over the rocks down at the clearing.  "I see Ducky searching where we used to be.  I also see Donna and Turio back at the waterhole, talking.  And then I see Spike next to the log Cera may be hiding in.  She must be a good hider, 'cause I don't think Spike noticed her."

----------

Spike continued to munch away at the bush, unaware of the small threehorn hiding in the log next to him...

"I think the under water cave hole is big enough for you to get through there is dry underground cave area through hole, if you look in water maybe you can see if big enough, it very good hiding spot" Turio said to Donna.

----

"Sounds like she is, did you know that Cera has a very kind and soft spot, I didn't know that at first but she shows it more to me then anyone else..." Trihorn whispered back to Guan.

"I wish I could, but I don't know how to swim that deep," Donna said softly.  "Uncle Odon says I'm not yet ready for deep water swimming."

----------

Guan dips below the line of rock to look back at Trihorn.  "She hasn't mentioned it alot.  I guess before she normally tries to hide her true feelings to try and impress her father.  But since Mr. Threehorn's coming out of his shell, it might've been ok for Cera to let out her feelings.  But I don't know her as well as Littlefoot and the others, so I can't be sure."

"It not deep though, I am small so it deep to me, it about twice your height that all, plus I will help you get in the cave I would not let back happen to good friend like you Donna" Turio said to Donna.

---

Trihorn nods "Maybe I will ask him later" Trihorn said to Guan looking over the rocks for a second "I see Littlefoot and Ali, they are near to the point where we was hiding"

"Well..." Donna began, hesitating.  "I'll try.  At least I have been working on holding my breath underwater."

----------

Guan peeks over as well.  "I'm surprised that Ducky hasn't found them yet.  She's that close."

----------

Littlefoor remains absolutely still, keeping as quiet as possible while Ducky searches very close by...
