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

"Ohh? is that true?" - Trod asked.

"Can I ask what is her name?." - Rhamphy asked,, very curious.

"Rita," Chomper said, "She's a sharptooth I met when we hunted on the mainland."

"I hope she is as nice as you are and does not see us as food, I do, I do." Ducky said, a bit concerned with meeting a new sharptooth.

"Don't worry, if you're with me, she won't try to eat you," Chomper said confidently.

"That is a relief indeed. It is nice to have a sharptooth friend." - Trod said happily.

Rhamphy was still looking at the Flyers that were far away, he gave a sigh of relief as he saw them moving away.

"I do hope you are right, I do, I do." Ducky said, still a little worried.

Littlefoot looked at Ducky, "Things will turn out ok, just wait and see." Littlefoot said smiling to her.

"Yeah, and something tells me we'll be able to explain ourselves to a kid like us a bit better" Kit said.

After a few more minutes of trekking, the gang finally arrived back at the beach!

"<We're here!>" grinned Spike.

"Yea, we are on the mainland again." Ducky said, cheering and waving her arms happily.  

"Yea, it's great to be back.  Isn't it?" He asked looking at the others.

Cyrix smiled as well as his feet touched the sand of the mainland again.
"Ahhh, I'd forgotten how nice this feels."

Hunter sighed.
"I'm just glad to be off that land bridge...it was creepy being so close to the big water."

Hunter blushed from Spikes question and answered in sharptooth, <"I just don't like to think about what lives in there...and if it could eat me...the farther away from it I am, the better!">

"<Good point...>" Spike replied.

SPEAKING OF THINGS THAT COULD EAT THEM..........

"<Morning mom and dad,>" Greg smiled to Ichy and Dil.

"Yea, it's nice to be back here again." LIttlefoot said.

"I do not like to think about what swims in the water or under it, no I do not." Ducky said, remembering some her imagination and the song they had sung earlier as well as their encounter with a swimming sharptooth.  

"Yea, we encountered 1 of the swimming sharpteeth, who knows what sorts of other things may be there, maybe even wonders.  Though it is still nice to be here again.  Shall we rest a bit here or would you rather head towards the Valley of mists?" Littlefoot asked looking around at the others.

"<From my point of view, the sooner we get to this Valley the better.>" Dein said staring in a distance, but not looking at anything particular. He was thinking about something for a moment, then he turned to leafeater's kids.

"You know. You dont have to come with us. I mean... You have your own families to find and every heartbeat you are spending with us decreases your chances to catch up with them. All you need to do to help me is this: just tell us where we can find that Valley of Mists and how does this flower you mentioned look like. That alone will be enough and you will be able to go your own way." he said calmly.

Trod and Rhamphy looked at each other, then the Runner replied to Dein. - "I think we will go with you, specially after all of you have done for us. Besides, to visit new places can give us new clues about where my Mother's herd is."

Rhamphy looked at the other kids. - "Dein does have a point, but I'd like to know what will be your decision."

Kit frowned, thinking this through, she did feel bad for her dad since she was about all that he had left of family, but...

"I...I'd just feel bad for probably ever if I left and didn't help you like you helped us, like the others said" she said in flattooth to convey her thoughts better. Twiz translated, though he may not have needed to by this point.

"We don't know where our family exactly are.  Since the leaf gobblers ate all the green food in the Great Valley they are not there yet, and we know exactly where the flowers are so at least I should go with you." Littlefoot said.  "The rest of you guys can do what you want." Littlefoot said.

"I will go too.  Like Littlefoot said.  & maybe we'll see Tickles and Archie again.  We may, we may." Ducky said.

"But still we should make this adventure to be a fast one. So we can heal Chomper's father and help all families to be reunited again!" - Trod said, as he also began walking in the sand of the mainland again, after many bright circles.

Rhamphy got off of Trod's back - "Thanks for the ride pal!" - he said as he landed in the sand.

At that time, someone was looking at the group from a safe distance, behind some rocks in the top of a mountain - "So, they were hiding in that island this whole time. But now I found them." - He said to himself as he made a sly grin.
