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

"Glad to see you're doing better," Chomper smiled. "I wonder what Miss Dill's hatchling will be like," he added.

Twiz smiled that Longtail was doing better too. "Probably really...um...what did my mom call it one time...opinonated, like she said Miss Dill is from what she's seen" Twiz said in answer to Chomper's question.

Dil was trying to sleep, but she simply couldn't. The fact that she had an egg and was soon to hatch was keeping her awake with anticipation. She looked down at Ichy and smiled knowing he would be here to help her with the hatchling. She gently licked Ichy as she continued to smile.


Longtail yawned again and asked, "Hey Chomper, how is your dad such a heavy sleeper?"

Terri laughed gently at that question but allowed Chomper to answer.

"He hunts a lot, and always tires himself out," Chomper explained.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks," Ichy responded, wiping the lick off. "It'll be hatched soon..." he added with a smile.

"Makes sense" Twiz said, "my mom get's to sleep lots because yelling at lost of our herd members tires her out" he said.

"Does you mom get angry easily?" asked Chomper.

Longtail yawned again and replied by saying, "If I had to yell at the members of my herd all day, then I'd be tired too."

Terri smiled.
"I try to help him when he's hunting but he seems to like doing it on his own." she said with a small laugh.

Dil smiled and checked the egg again.
"I know it will, but I'm still so excited...I wonder what I'm going to name the little one?"

"That name you suggested, Greg sounded nice," Ichy commented.

(OOC: I just thought of what comes next, hope you like it GVG.  :DD )

Just then, a teenage female sharpbeak came flying up out of nowhere towards Ichy and Dil. "Hey dad," she said.

(OOC again: My idea is that before Ichy met Dil, he was with a another sharpbeak and they mated, but after the mother laid the egg, she kicked Ichy out of the nest for some reason.)

~~~~~~~~~

"At least he always catches something, just like you mom," Chomper smiled. Dein, Terri, and Redclaw all had a special talent: They won every fight they got into with a big leafeater, and always caught something. They were virtually unbeatable.

Dil looked up rather surprised.
"Who are you? My next meal perhaps?" she asked slyly not knowing who this sharpbeak was or why she was here.

~~~

Terri smiled at Chompers remark.
"That is true son."

Longtail cleared his throat and asked, "What about me? I mean I could prove myself again if that would help."

"You're....my daughter?" Ichy asked the teenage sharpbeak in disbelief.

"Yeah, my mom kicked me out of the nest since she didn't "Like my attitude,", and she told me to find you."

~~~~~~~~~~

"You probably should," agreed Chomper.

Dil was stunned, she didn't even know Ichy had a mate, let alone a hatchling who was now almost fully grown. "Ichy...why didn't you tell me you had a daughter. If she has nowhere else to go she can stay with us." she said with a smile.

~~~

Longtail sighed aloud. "I was afraid you'd say that Chomper." he said with a giggle.

Terri smiled. "Well don't worry kid, you can try and catch our food for in the morning. How does that sound?"

Longtail smiled too.
"I'd like that." He then turned to Twiz "You wanna help me?"

"She told me t leave the nest right after the egg came out," Ichy said, "That was a long time ago."

"I'm Ari," the teenage sharpbeak replied.

~~~~~~~~~`

"I'll be in the mood for threehorn," Chomper grinned.

"Sure" Twiz said with a smile. He nodded at what Chomper said, threehorn sounded big but...well with someone like Longtail with him maybe he could manage it.

"Threehorn...I guess they're not...too hard, are they?" he turned to Longtail not sure of the answer himself.

"Threehorn meat is a bit tough," Chomper admitted.

"I meant catching something with that many horns in the first place is probably tough..." Twiz said with a frown, "But if Longtail's there I'm sure it'll go fine" he next smiled.

"And I could help if he wants," Chomper offered.

Terri smiled at hearing the conversation the younglings were having. She then noticed Longtail was flying rather high in the sky. "Hey Longtail," she said as she called out to him, "Would you like to come down and help plan the attack?"

Longtail looked down and gave a sheepish smile as he nose dived towards the ground only to pull up before hitting the ground. He then landed in front of Twiz and Chomper as he said, "Sure. I could help with that." He then faced Twiz directly.
"Don't worry. I'll be more than happy to help you bring down a threehorn. They may be tough...but not as tough as me!" he boasted with a grin.

"Well, I know my mom might be tougher than you Longtail," Chomper smiled confidently.

"Maybe" Twiz agreed, "but I definitely believe you're tougher than a threehorn, so like I said, I'm not worried...much".

"A group of sharpteeth can take a threehorn down easily," Chomper said confidently.
