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

(Ok.  I don't have a problem when something like this happens once, but twice is getting close to the line.  I think there has to be some rules about RPing made soon.  I don't want to make this sound like a drag, (not all of us like rules anyway) but there's been more than one problem happening more than once here that needs to be solved.)

Odon hears a scream and soon Tops was over there looking at Odon "What the Blazes going on!? I am still a Kid!! But your not tell me Odon!" Tops shouted and raved "I thought this wish should of ended last night and I back to adult like you but no I am still a size of a child" Tops snapped.

The spikethumb children were jarred awake by the commotion, and were shocked at what happened.

Odon looks at himself again to see that he is back to his adult self, then looks back down at Tops.  "What the...  I thought the wish did end last night!  But something else must've happened to...wait a minute..."  He looks back to see his brother stirring awake, the same brother who's now older and alive...

Spikefoot yawns and looks around.  "What in the world is going on..."

"Daddy!"  cried Donna and runs over to nudge his massive head.

Goanna's mouth hangs open.  "He's...alive..."  She then runs over to her father and joins her sister in the warm hug.

Guan remains still in shock.

Odon thinks back to the wish he made last night, which could not have been possible due to the absence of a wishing star...or maybe there was one when they weren't looking.  "I only wished for Spikefoot to return..."

"...to the herd as the father that I was before I was gone," Spikefoot finished, staring at Odon with a stunned faced.  "That was what we both wished that night."

Odon stares at the three kids.  "Did any of you wished for something on Mr. Threehorn remaining as a child?"

Guan, Goanna, and Donna shake their heads no in reply.

"This wishing star is starting to create more problems than solutions..." Odon muttered.

"Better find out how this happened... I might be stuck in this body but I still got my temper and I am at the moment getting really anger..." Tops said gritting his teeth as he spoke feeling very anger that he was the only one out of Zila and Odon to be a child.

Odon looks back at Threehorn.  "You mean Zilla's back to his normal self?  Then someone else must have wished you to remain this way.  But who?"

"How am I suppose to know?" Tops grunted "It could be any..." then he hears Littlefoot coming up to them and Tops looking at him "Have you been there listening the whole time? did you wish for this?"

Littlefoot was stunned by the barrage of questions Cera's father is throwing on him.  "What are you talking about?  I didn't wish for anything.  And how come you're still a kid?"

Grandma and Grandpa soon follow, seeing Threehorn still as a child.

"Oh my..." Grandma began.

"I thought the wish ended by the end of the day," Grandpa added.

"But before ask I didn't wish this on myself I made no wish last night.Someone in this Valley wished other wise. I asked Cera and she didn't... I asked anyone I could think off... before coming here. I talked to Zila and TUrio they couldn't believe this, Cera was shocked and you lot was shocked. It like NO one has no idea what happened..." Tops froze looking at Odon.

"Your wish might had a cost... for your brother being here it might of... well triggered something... made me stay young a extra day. A way to balance the wish out... I heard a saying said the first wish has no effect but a second might have a cost" Tops said  to Odon then looking up at the Grandparents of Littlefoot.

Odon slowly grew annoyed.  "Now I have no idea what you're talking about, Threehorn.  None of us knew about a star flying over a second day in a row.  And what's this about a saying of a costly second wish?  I never heard of this saying before.  Are you saying you know something that should have been shared with the rest of us?"

Spikefoot stood between Threehorn and Odon.  "That's enough.  We've only recently found out what has just happened, but we are already too quick to start pointing claws at each other.  We must stay calm and think this through, and soon we will find the answers and a solution to this problem."

Odon takes his brother's words to thought, knowing Spikefoot has always been the wise one.  Grandma and Grandpa both nod in agreement.

Donna looks around.  "Where's Zila and Turio?  Isn't today the day we leave for the Great Lake?"

Guan suddenly gets a thought into his mind.  "Do you think that there may be answer to this...situation at the Great Lake?"

Zila and Turio came over to them with Zila normal size he sees Tops "What the..." Zila gasped.
"Yes I am a kid still" Tops groaned.

"My grandparents warned of something like this could happen" Zila said

"What?" Tops questioned.

"If two wishes made in two nights three days before the three nights of the blue moon a wish will stay to one from a group. It will be undone at the end of the threehorn blue moons." Zila said "That was what I was told by my Grandparents and what they say usually did happen so I can only guess that it happened with them as well to know this type of thing"

"I am stuck like this for 6 DAYS!!!! NO way! no! you can't be serious!!" Tops freaked out.

Littlefoot had to hide behind Grandpa's leg in fear of Threehorn's anger, despite the adult threehorn still being a kid, and Donna moves closer to her father.

"I guess this was one of the few things I missed when I was still young," muttered Odon.

"At least it's not forever," Spikefoot responded.  "All we have to do is to wait out the 6 days for the wish to be undone."

"But what will happen to you, Daddy?" asked Donna.

Spikefoot looks down at his daughter and smiles assuringly.  "I don't know, but no matter what happens, I will always be here to watch over you.  And so will your mother..."

Guan gives a half-smile for a moment.

"That wish will stay... it just the cross with the first wish and second wish will undo it self... that in this case Tops" Zila said looking down at Tops.

"I can't believe this... stuck like this for 6 days... how am I suppose to be a father to Cera if I can't even protect her while being like this" Tops said looking and feeling sad and down feeling very unsafe. "Odon... I don't like this idea... but until I am back to normal me and Cera will be under your protection..." Tops looked away feeling down at saying it.

Odon looks at Spikefoot with a puzzled look, and then turns back to Threehorn.  "You'll always know I will look out for my friends, even old ones," he said.

"We treat everyone like one of our own," added Spikefoot.  "We care for each other and we leave no one behind."

The spikethumb children all nod in reply.  Even the longnecks seem to agree as well.

"That appracted" Tops smirked then looked at the kids "Please stop hidding behind your folks everytime I get annoyed... look I can't do much about it at this time... when I was this young ages ago I had a bit of a short fuse... I easily lost my temper on the most sillyest of things so I ask you kids keep calling me by my name for now and let me know if I am going a bit on the annoyed side please" Tops said, requested and spoke to Littlefoot and the other kids around them.

The children gave confused looks at each other.

Littlefoot was the first to come from behind Grandpa.  "Ok...um...Tops."

Donna also steps out and nods.

"Thanks. Odon can back up what I said, when we was kids... I kind of lost my temper on the samllers of things" Tops looked at Odon.

Odon nods.  "Tops certainly had quite a temper when we were kids," he said.  "We always kept on our feet whenever he gets mad long enough to try and charge someone, but that was a rare case."

"It was hard to try to convince him in anything," agreed Spikefoot.  "He always believed he was right all the time."

"There wasn't much change in him to adulthood," Odon smirked.

"Thanks..." Tops muttered "I know... but since so much been happening I've seen a wider view of life. It might take longer but I've finally see that everything can't be my way I have to listen to other opotions" Tops said to them. "Just being this young for a while is making me a bit well tempered... but I won't get too much into it like I did a long time ago. I'll give you my word on that" Tops said to them.
