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

Dante smirked.
"We all were dead for a while there.  It was really darn freaky.  But thanks to Longtail, we came back."
He said enthusiastically, wrapping an arm around his friend...

Longtail smiled at Dante.
"Yeah, yeah. It wasn't all my doing. You guys had to convince the spirits to let you come back. I don't deserve all the credit." he said aloud.

Soul smiled.
"To be so young and so modest."

"Yes, it is curious that... dinosaurs don't take credit when credit is due." - Racnar said happily.

Cayso smiled but then he sighed - "At least, something good came out from all the mess my father caused."

"Yeah, I just hope we don't see him again," agreed Redclaw.

"Yeah...That wasn't fun."
Dante said, nodding as he released his transformation...

"Impressive," remarked Redclaw. He turned to Kai. "I'm glad to see you're still alive."

Longtail stepped forward for a moment and tried to change his scale color back to normal, but just like before his scales didn't change.
"Why does this keep happening...I can never seem to change the colors back to normal and I don't know why."

Soul smiled.
"I think I can explain that. When you first hatched, your scales were white much like mine, but after the first cold time the colors changed to match the sky."

"Really?" asked Longtail with a confused look on his face.

At hearing that Longtail's family had been dead, and while Twiz just looked more confused and or freaked out, but got over it soon enough, Misty was struck with an odd wondering...she wasn't sure she could make herself say it though.

"Y-you didn't...nevermind" she sighed, "there's probably a lot of egg snatcher where you guys were and...you wouldn't have known my parents even f you did met them" she cut herself off from asking what she'd been wanting to ask.

"Maybe Longtail or his parents, or even Redclaw may know... if you can tell us... their names." - Racnar said to Misty.

Cayso looked at Redclaw. - "At least, I hope not any of you have to see him again, but I still need some answers from him."

Longtail looked at his mother and Soul looked over at Misty.
"I might know your folks Misty...but what are their names?" she asked aloud.

Glancing at everyone and thinking, Misty went on, "Well...I only remember them as vague images from when I was younger, but I do remember the names, it's about all I could cling to. Shane and Windy". She ducked her head a bit, "My grandfather, I remember, use to say our hatchdates themselves named the girls of the family, you see, he was my mom's dad and the wind was blowing a lot when she was hatched apparently and then on my hatchdate, well you couldn't hardly see for all the mist about" she grinned.

She looked over to Soul and the others who were suppose to have been dead, "D-did you know any egg snatchers like that? I-- I'm trying to remember what they were like, for if you would have noticed them, I remember mom was always concerned about the nest being clean and was always sweeping away egg shells and dad...always only ate the egg shells" she smiled, how could she have forgotten watching from then nest as a little hatching as the neighbors yelled at her dad about how he was so weird and an embarrassment and everything like that, didn't even eat the right parts of the egg.

Remembering her parents more was bitter sweet though and a few tears made it down her cheeks.

Soul stepped over to Misty and quickly hugged the young egg stealer.
"Shhh...don't cry little one." she cooed. She then smiled as she she stood up with Misty still in her arms and said, "As a matter of fact I do know two Eggstealers with those names...they were two of my closest friends in the afterlife. I can find them for you and bring them here..."

Longtail smiled at hearing the news. However he frowned at the thought of his mother going out into the Mysterious Beyond by herself. He then lightly tugged on her tail and held back a whimper as he said, " I don't want to lose you again...I can't..."

Dil walked over to Longtail and said with an air of confidence, "Oh don't worry kid...your mother will be fine...if what we've all seen is true she won't have any problems at all."
SHe then turned to the rest of Longtail's biological family and asked a simple question....
"Do any of you actually have names?"

"Dil is right..." - Cayso said - "...we were so busy trying to contain our great happiness for Longtail that we forgot to ask for your names."

Racnar replied - "Chomper introduced us to you... and we are curious to know your names... you are the family of one of our friends, and it would be great to know."

Longtails' mother looked back to her three other hatchlings and smiled as she said "To on...tell them your names!"

Longtail's brother went to respond when his eyes snapped open and he looked to his two sisters as he asked, "I-I don't think I have a name...what about you two?"

They both looked at each other and together had a blank look on their faces as they too had no idea.

Soul sighed, and tapped her head with the tip of her tail.
"I forgot...you three didn't hatch from your eggs...I never got a chance to name you. Silly me."

"Yeah, I'd say so mom." commented Longtail with a grin.

"Are you kidding me?" Greg laugh, surprised by this.

Rit had an idea, a crazy one, but still. "Could we name them?" she asked.

"Hehehe, that would be a good idea, we could try to help if the mother can get that many names at once." - Cayso saidas he smiled.

Misty was still thinking over Soul's offer. "i-if it's not dangerous to go there or anything...oh Miss Soul, it would be the most awesome thing ever if I could see them again" she impulsively hugged the flyer.

"Oh, but I'm sorry" she sat back, "right now apparently you have to name your kids" she laughed. "You can go ahead and do that first".
