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

Terribly mad at Chomper for his recent actions, Topsy approached the young Tyrannosaurus. "Sharptooth, what are you still doing in the valley?" He said to Chomper.

"Uh... well... um..." Chomper began, feeling scared.

Very angry, Topsy said "You are a threat to my children, and the children of the whole valley, and when you grow up, you will threaten the adults too!"

"When will you finally get it through your thick head that Chomper is not like other sharpteeth, Topsy Threehorn?!" Tria snapped at him.  Mr. Threehorn looked at Tria in a surprised manner.

"But, Tria..." he began.

"I don't want to hear your sorry excuses!  Chomper has never harmed Tricia, Cera, and her friends in the least bit!  He is a nice little guy to have around!  If there's anyone who needs to knock their nonsense off, it's you!" Tria yelled at him.  All Mr. Threehorn could do was shut up and look down in embarrassment.  He knew his mate was right.

"Xactly when do you tell me how to run things in the valley?!" Topsy said to Tria. "I was handling things long before you ever set foot in here! I know that you don't have my duties, but as a leader in the Great Valley, I need to be responsible for everyone's safety, including YOURS, Tria! What happens when Chomper grows up? He will need to eat whole dinosaurs! He could eat our daughter! He could eat you!"

Of course, being wrong never stopped Topsy before. He was still angry. He had harsh words for his wife, and didn't get the words quite right. Tria backed down. She was insistent, and believed that she was right... but knew better than to risk a confrontation now. She knew that he would not back down...

Besides, the thought of Tricia being eaten scared her too.

"Yes.  I suppose you are right, Mr. Threehorn.  It would not make sense for me to remain in the valley, even though the ones I care about and vowed I would NEVER harm are all there.  Besides, after what I've just seen and heard, I don't feel comfortable being in the valley any longer.  Very well, then.  Farewell, friends," Chomper said as he turned to leave.  He then looked back at Mr. Threehorn.

"By the way, don't waste your breath apologizing to me.  I'm not the one that deserves it, but somebody else does," Chomper said just before he gestured to a crying Tria.

"ZZZZ" could be heard in the valley that night. Topsy and Tria were still fighting over what had just happened, but neither side was willing to budge.

"Tria, I could never live with myself if Cera or Tricia were to be eaten by Chomper, and that I was the one who had allowed him to live in the valley and get close to them. I also don't know what I'd do if a hungry sharptooth ever ate you." He said to his mate.

"Are you sure that's the only reason you don't want Chomper around, or is your racist side coming out again?  From what Cera has told me, you did not even want her playing with other dinosaurs who are not threehorns.  Have they harmed her?  Of course not.  They're a close bunch of kids, and...oh, forget it.  There's no use continuing an argument that is not going anywhere.  In fact, I don't even know why I'm talking to you after how you spoke to me.  I'm just downright stupid, I guess.  I don't even know what you see in me," Tria replied.

"Because I want to keep my children safe" Topsy said. "As for you, Tria, I see in you a loving mother, and beautiful mate, and an excellent companion. There is no other female in the whole valley... or the whole world that I would rather have as a consort... you really are beautiful... and, like our children you need to be protected." Tria was indeed the alpha female among the Triceratopses of the valley, as the mate of the alpha male.

Cautiously, Tria looked around the valley and saw everyone was asleep, which she found fortunate, as she wanted to keep the next part of the conversation with her mate private.

She sighed. "What about the one you were with when Cera was born?  How do you compare her to me?" She asked him.

"During my time with her, I had several children... but only Cera survived..." Topsy said. "You are far more beautiful than she ever was... and you are kinder as well." Topsy's first mate had a skin color that was similar to his, but Tria was colored an attractive shade of pink... Tria certainly was more noticeably feminine, that was for sure.

"For the good of the valley, Chomper had to leave; even he said so himself. Tria, look, I know it is hard, but it was all for the best... it will all work out in the long run..." Topsy responded to his mate. "Besides, Chomper will be happier in the mysterious beyond... he won't get in trouble for eating leaf-eaters there..."

Gee. who made that decison? You did Topsy! A decison ;like that that should be up to the council, not just your whims!" Tria replied.. "You're sleeping by yourself tonight.. and for the next few nights as well!"

"Have it your way, Tria. I am used to that... you are only punishing yourself. I've slept alone for years before I met you... if anything, this will hurt you, though. Remember, I'm the one with the prestige around here... separating from me will result in YOU losing status, not me, even if it is temporary. There will inevitably be rumors of you losing your position as alpha female among the threehorns if you are seen sleeping apart from me." Topsy replied. "Besides, Cera isn't with you... she's MY daughter, not yours."

"I will, then." Tria said. "I'll... you'll see me again later, Topsy. Hopefully, by then, you will have thought about what you have said and will let poor Chomper back in..."

Tria then got up and walked a good distance before lying down for the night. Tricia was with her, but Cera obviously was not.

Just then, Cera got up.  She had not been able to sleep, consequently hearing the conversation.  She quietly walked over to Tria, but not too quiet for Tria to notice her.

"Well, hello Cera.  What are you doing up so late?" Tria asked.

"I can't sleep.  Tria, I need to talk to you," Cera whispered.

"What is it, little one?" Tria asked as Cera nestled down next to her.

"It's about the talk you had with Daddy.  I heard the whole thing."

"Cera, I'm sorry if he said anything about your mother that offended you."

"That's not the part I'm talking about.  It's about Chomper.  Tria, I know you mean well, and Chomper has always been a good friend.  However, it is inevitable that he will have to leave to valley.  My friends and I all know that, and so does Chomper."

"I'm only trying to look out for you, Cera."

"The only looking out you need to do is to make sure our family is not torn apart.  To be honest, I don't give a rotten treesweet if I'm your daughter or not.  I still care about you, and Tricia means a lot to me.  If I were to lose her because of some stupid argument, I would flip.  I've already lost my mother and sisters.  I can't handle losing another sister.  Despite what he said, Tricia is HIS daughter just as she is yours.  I mean, you two had her.  I'll never forgive him if he even tries to reject Tricia.  Or if he rejects you," Cera said.

"I'm glad to hear that, sweetie, but Chomper..."

"Is going to be better off outside of the valley," Cera interrupted.  "It's for the good of all of us.  Please, Tria.  A broken family is the last thing I need to deal with, and I know what it's like to not have one parent with me.  I don't want Tricia to go through the same ordeal.  It really stinks.  Just be patient with Daddy.  He has his moments, but I know he still loves you.  Just be patient."

Krak-koom! It was starting to thunder and rain.

"Tria! Where are you? It isn't good to be out in this rain at night" Topsy said.

He was looking for her for some time. Topsy cared about her enough to go look for her in the approaching storm, even though it meant that he would get wet as well. He hadn't noticed Cera missing, so he was somewhat surprised to find his eldest daughter with Tria.

"Listen to me, Tria!" Topsy said. "I know that we have disagreements over some things, but we can overcome those, I am sure. For now, let's all just get some shelter from this rain. I think we can all agree on that."

"Must get out of this rain, little ones," Tria said to the two sisters before she guided them over to Mr. Threehorn.  As they took cover, Cera kept Tricia close to her.  She had never felt more fear of possibly losing her sister than she did at that moment.
