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

"Uh oh..." Goanna said, looking away from the group.  "We got more company..."

Littlefoot approaches the others.  "Wow.  You're all up early too."  He notices the new young dinosaurs.  "New kids?  Must've came in late at night.  I'm Littlefoot."

Spikefoot walks up to Littlfoot.  "Hi, Littlefoot.  I'm Spikefoot, and my brother over there is Odoy."

Littlfoot looks over at Odon.  "Odoy...?"  His eyes start to widen, forcing Guan to take Littlefoot away from the group to talk with him.

"Is that spikethumb there your uncle?  What happened to him?  And why's Cera on the ground unconcious?!" Littlefoot began questioning the teenage spikethumb.

"Uncle Odon, Zila, and Mr. Threehorn made a wish last night and now they're our age!  Cera just found what happened to her dad."

"I...see...  Then who is Spikefoot?"

"He's someone from Uncle Odon's past, and it would be best not to tell Spikefoot about it.  Promise me that."

Littlefoot was hesitant.  "I...promise...  But soon the whole Valley will find out what happened.  What do we do then?"

Guan sighs.  "I don't know..."

Threehorn looked at Cera still out cold and sighed "How am I going to explain this to her..." he muttered to himself "I hope this don't happen again when she comes too" He said quietly to himself.

Zila sat there looking at Spikefoot "Spikefoot where do you think we are? the location" Zila asked him wondering that the answer could be a problem or not.

Spikefoot looks around in wonder at the surroundings, curious.  "This does not look like home," he said.  "It looks smaller.  Where are we?"

"We're in the Great Valley," Odon answered.

Spikefoot looks at his brother, surprised.  "The Great Valley?  But we lived so far away from here?  How did we get here so fast?  ...and where's Dad?"

Odon looks around at everyone else sadly and takes Spikefoot off someplace to talk alone.

Guan and Littlefoot sees this as they approach the others.

Guan shakes his head sadly.  "I guess we couldn't keep any secrets from anyone.  The wish has already made too big a mess..."

Littlefoot looks up at Guan.  "Lying to someone does not come out good in the end, even if it was meant to cause less harm.  I know that from experience."

"That also means we can't lie to the rest of the Valley about this," Goanna agreed.  "They'll all know sooner or later."

Guan could only nod in agreement to them both, waiting for his uncle and father to return...

Zila looked at Guan and Littlefoot "Some wish we made... it was just from the thought that us three made" Zila said to him

Threehorn nods "While I'm stuck like this..." he sighs "I am going to regret this... but... you lot may call me Tops..." Threehorn said with a bit of dislike to the idea.

"Um...ok...Tops?" Littlefoot replied, confused and nervous.

Then, Odon and Spikefoot return to face the others, Spikefoot showing a variety of feelings.

Guan looks worried at Odon.  "So he knows everything...?"

Odon sighs and nods his head.

Spikefoot take a step forward.  "This seems really strange though.  Like going forward in time to meet your kids.  I never even thought about having kids when I grow up."

"Well, things do change when you grow up," replied Odon.

"Yeah.  But it's kind of funny that there's a spikethumb who may be even better than me!"

"Hey!  I never said you were better than me!  It always comes out to a draw!"

"Only because I go easy on you," Spikefoot remarked, poking his nose up into the air.

Odon growls and tackles his brother, playfully wrestling on the ground.  Guan, Goanna, and Donna look at each other in confusion.

"Well they playing..." Tops said to them tiding up the confusion.

"Yes I remember and they always draw in their games" Zila said watching.

Cera wakes up weaving a bit then looks at Littlefoot "What going on? what happened to t daddy?"

Littlefoot gives a nervous look at Tops.  "He may have wished along with Zila and Odon to be young again, and...they did."

Odon and Spikefoot stops wrestling and comes to their senses, and rejoins the others, Spikefoot meeting with his future children.  "Even though I know now what will happen in my future...but for today I want all three of you to treat me like I am now.  Is that ok?"

"Ok, Da... Spikefoot," Guan answered.

"This is going to be cool!" Donna added.

Odon looks sharply at Guan (which actually would make look cuter than he already is :lol ), "Because you're now the only spikethumb with fully grown thumb spikes, you now have the responsibility of taking care of your family...even your father and uncle."

"I won't disappoint you, Uncle Odon," Guan replied proudly.

"Glad that part's over," Goanna remarked.  "What's next to deal with?"

Just then, Grandpa and Grandma appears in the distance...

Cera looked at her dad "You wished that? Daddy?" Cera said with a nervous question

"Yes and please you two stop being nervous around me... at this time I can't even do much myself at this age... I might still be myself in this young body but I am at this time a kid as much as you two and the others." Tops said to Cera and Littlefoot walking up to him then looking at with with a smirk. "Littlefoot just be yourselve and same with you Cera"

"Sure thing daddy." Cera nods then see Grandpa and Grandma longneck "Daddy look behind you"

"What?" Tops turned and saw them "this isn't my day..."

Zila laughs "Looks like we have to face the Grandparents of Littlefoot" Zila said finding it amusing a little bit

Littlefoot gives an assuring nod to Tops until he sees his grandparents coming.

Grandpa and Grandma reaches the children.

"Morning, children," Grandpa said.  "You all seemed to have woken up early today.  We were trying to find Threehorn, Zila, and Odon..."  He stops abruptly, noticing something strange about some of the children, which he does not recognize.  He lowers his head down to the kids' level for a closer look, then his eyes start to go wide.

Odon steps forward.  "I guess you found us, Longneck..."

Grandma hears this and is shocked.  "Oh my...  What happened?"

"It's a long story," muttered Odon in a reply.  "Let's just say we now have to be careful when we wish upon a star..."

Donna and Spikefoot giggle at the remark, while Goanna and Guan resort to a quick snicker.

Cera laughed at the comment then she looks at Tops.

"Well Longneck see you me now I was when I was a child, don't us Zila and Odon look some what simlar to kids that your longneck herd went through a land with Bron when he was young?" Tops said to the grandparents of Littlefoot "And I right?"

(I still haven't seen LBT 10 yet, so who's the children of the grandparents?)

Grandpa nods.  "Yes, I remember," he replies, "but that was so long ago."

(Bron calls Grandpa, Papa Longneck in LBT 10. So I guess from that he is Grandpa and Grandma's son)

"Yes it was and look like the past in our wish caught back up, spill it over the valley if you two like, don't bother me none" Tops looked at Littlefoot then grinned a bit thinking 'Not it is the game Cera called it? mmm lets see how much fun this is really is'

Tops walked up to Littlefoot then smirked again touching his leg against Littlefoot's then shouts for the hell of it "Not it! Littlefoot it!" He yelled making a break for it.

Littlefoot's jaw drops at Tops tagging him, before he finally smirks and races after the others.  Donna, Goanna, Guan, and Spikefoot sprints off close behind Tops.  Littlefoot nearly tags Odon, but the spikethumb sidesteps, watching as the little longneck flies past.

"I'll...join you in a minute, Littlefoot," Odon says.  "I need to talk with Zila first."

With a nod, Littlefoot races off to catch up with the others, leaving Odon, Zila, and the elder longnecks alone.

"What will Turio say when he finds out?" Odon asks.

"Well I'll tell him what happened and wait for his reaction" Zila answered looking at Odon "Why don't we play with the others?"

Odon manages to smile.  "We gotta hurry if we don't wanna be left out."  He bolts off after the others, who have already left through a line of trees to another clearing.

Grandma and Grandpa look at each other in confusion before looking back at Zila.  "You want us to find Turio and send him to you?" Grandpa asks.

"Yes if you can, I would be very greatful." Zila smiled then raced after the Odon and the others.

Tops came to a stop by the water edge then Cera runs into him and so does Guan, Goanna and Donna all falling in the water with a big splash

Grandpa and Grandma soon depart to find Turio.

----------

Goanna wiggles herself out from the pile and out of the water.  "Yeesh!  Who put the water in the middle of the game?"

Soon Spikefoot bursts out of the trees and dives into the water, surfacing with a laugh.  "Littlefoot's coming!" he shouted.

Soon enough, Littlefoot appears in front of Goanna and tags her.  "Not it!  Goanna's it!" he shouted before running in the other other direction.

Guan and Donna quickly swim by Tops to the shore on the other side of the water.  Then Odon and Zila appear in the game, just in time to see Goanna chase after Littflefoot towards them.

Tops got out the water shaking himself dry "Need to watch where I run" Tops then runs to catch up with Guan and Donna.

Zila sees Littlefoot being chased by Goanna "Odoy Goanna it"

"I see," Odon said quickly.  "Littlefoot!  This way!"

Littlefoot takes a hard right towards Odon and Zila, Goanna closing behind.

"Let's go this way!" Odon said to Zila and Littlefoot.  "We'll lose her there!"  He leads the others towards a clump of trees barely large enough for the three small dinosaurs.

"No fair!" Goanna called out, slowing down.  "Uncle Odon's great at losing chasing sharpteeth!"

On the other side of the water, Tops, Guan, and Donna regroups with Spikefoot.  They obviously heard what Goanna had said.

"We were trained with those maneuvers," Spikefoot said between panting, still smiling.  "Very useful for Not It, too."

"Very smart move and funny" Tops smirked

"Daddy your different like this but it fun" Cera said looking at him.

"Well fun only comes once a childhood and this is a second chance we have and I'm not letting that go" Tops said back then looks at Spikefoot "Did you ever think that tomorrow you might be still here but given a second chance in life? I believe that could be ture... you might end up tomorrow a full grown Spikethumb remembering everyone here. Why else would a joint wish have you here with us now?" Tops said to Spikefoot

"Daddy that the smartest and crazyest thing ever you said and it sounds possible" She said to Tops then looking at Spikefoot.
