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

Cyrix stepped quickly but with caution. However he was still smiling as he walked along with the others.

Hunter had to ask, "Why are you so cheerful Cyrix?"

The rainbow face laughed as he answered.
"I'm just glad to know that we are all able to have an adventure together and see our world for what it is."

~~~

Terri laughed as well as she thought about what Dein had said.
"Yes I suppose they do have a reason to celebrate don't they?"

"I guess they will be." Littlefoot said, "Once they find out that is." He said.  He looked ahead to see how far they were from the mainland.  

""Having an adventure can be fun, it can, it can.  We've had a few ourselves, and we have gotten to see new areas.  But there are many dangers too, there are, there are." Ducky said nodding and thinking of some of the adventures they have had before.

"Yeah, me hope there no danger this time" Petrie said. Cory laughed, "Well I wouldn't bet on none at all, but maybe nothing too big" he smiled.

Hunter laughed quietly as she said, "Well...danger can also be another form of adventure ya know."

Cyrix smiled.
"Very true Hunter, but usually you have to go looking for adventure...with Danger, it always comes to find you."

"Sadly, that's true," Chomper said with a little laugh.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey mom, what are we going to do today?" Greg asked Dil, who was still a bit sleepy.

"That is true, though it seems adventures come to us at times, or maybe it is that we are good at finding adventures." Ducky said.  Thinking it over she wasn't sure which it was.  "I guess an adventure would not be an adventure without some danger." She said.

"That true, sometimes adventures just find us" Petrie agreed, like the time there had been no water. They hadn't asked for that, or for Hyp to take off and them to have to follow him.

That was sort of like now, they hadn't asked for Chomper's dad to get sick.

"Well some of the adventures we do ourselves turn out just as good" Kit pointed out with a smile, "after all, if Cera had never thought to run away we wouldn't have all met Chomper, or some all of us" she admitted.

"There is no way we can guess how an adventure can start... untill it starts." - Trod said, also remembering the things he has lived since started travelling.

At that time, Rhamphy frowned as he saw some Flyers in the very distant horizon, in the sea, but near the shore. He then tried to ignore the thought that they may be with the Flyer who attacked them and he thought - "I must stay optimistic."

"What's bothering you Rhampy?" Chomper asked, noticing the odd expression on his face.

Trod looked back to see his Flyer friend riding on his back, he didn't say a word, but the look on his face asked for itself.

Chomper's question took Rhamphy by surprise, he thought of not telling all about what he was thinking, to not worry the little Sharptooth. He sighed before replying. - "I am just thinking... if I really made the Flyer who attacked us to lost track of me. I am hoping he did not found the island and just returned home."

"Maybe he did, after looking for you for a while and could not find you." Littlefoot said.

"Yea, and you are not along now, no you are not." Ducky said hoping that bit of truth would help Rhamphy to feel better.

"Yeah, we're here if he tries anything" Cory assured, getting a bold stance like an over confident kid might do when imagining fighting bad guys, and of course it going better in his imagination than it ever would in real life.

"Careful Cory, don't fall off Spike" Kit laughed.

"That is very nice from all of you. Thanks." - Rhamphy said, as he gave a wide smile.

"It is nice to not be travelling alone. It feels so much better and safe." - Trod added. he then looked forward and asked, trying to get the ambient to bemore relaxed. - "Any idea in how long we'll get to the mainland?."

"That sounds good." - Rhamphy replied.

"It sounds good for you because I am the one walking." - Trod replied with a faked unamused face. To that, Rhamphy just gave a wide grin. Trod laughed.

"I could give you a ride Trod,' Chomper offered.

"Yea, it shouldn't be long now till we all get to the mainland." Littlefoot said happily.  He would be glad to get to the mainland again & it was nice to see Chomper again, and to make new friends and such too.

"And to tell the truth, there's someone I want to see on the mainland," Chomper admitted.

Trod looked at Chomper. - "I am fine, thanks, and besides I am a bit taller than you, so it would be like too much, hehehe."

"It must have been awesome for you to find again your friend here in this island." - Rhamphy said to Littlefoot. - "Maybe soon I'll be lucky enough to make more friends, like all of you here."

"I'm hoping...I can see my girlfriend again," Chomper admitted with a blush
