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

"looks like you have a visitor." Grandpa Longneck said to Littlefoot, then turning to Ali he said, "Good Morning Ali.  You look like you are doing well today." He said.

--

Petrie continued to eat his breakfast.  He wanted to get done to see what the others of his friends were up to and going to do for the day.  Once done he headed out to look for Ducky or Littlefoot.

--

Mim finisher her morning drink and breakfast then decided to go for a short walk around the valley to to see what some others are up to and as some general exercise  to see the sights again also.

"Thanks Grandpa Longneck" Ali replied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belmont and Bron continued to discuss Red Claw's attack "its still a mystery considering how they got in" Belmont said "they could have came in through the hidden canyon that Littlefoot said he discovered" Bron replied "but that...was sealed off" Belmont proclaimed.

Rebecca called out to Petrie, "Be sure to say "hi" to the newcomers and Pterano for me!"

She waited for her other children to be done with their food. One of her daughters asked her, "Mom, wasn't Pterano supposed to come later? Like when five cold times past? I mean, wasn't that the agreement?"

Rebecca replied, "Yes it was...I suppose if he tried to help us get rid of those fastbiters and Red Claw, he was a bit more accepted toward us. I'm glad your uncle is here though. Everyone deserves a second chance." She finished her sentence with a smile.
--------------------
Amy ate the fish so fast, she thought she was going to vomit it out right then and there, but she didn't, she was able to eat it. She had to say, she was not usually one to like fish, but for some reason she loved the fishy taste.

She asked Anna once she swallowed a piece, "So...what your plans for today?"
----------------
Little Foot saw Ali and said in a tired voice, "Hi Ali, sorry we didn't talk to much yesterday." He looked down at his feet and swayed a bit. "Maybe you and I can find everyone else and just hang out? And...maybe look for Shorty and my dad?"

Before Ali could speak however, Mr. Three Horn came into the scene and said, "Good morning longnecks." He grinned and then looked up at Grandpa Longneck. "Longneck, I think we need to talk about yesterday, without the children hearing if you don't mind." He looked at the kids and Little Foot, being annoyed with Mr. Three Horn's typical behavior, whispered to Ali in a soft voice, "I guess that's our cue to go."

Though much of what Pangaea had said about his sleep story was confusing to him, Guido took it all in. The subject of Pangaea’s ordinary life made him think of something. “Do you think you’ll ever go back?” he asked.

Pangaea’s heart jerked, as it often did when he experienced a sudden jolt of emotion. What Guido had brought up was exactly the issue he didn’t want to think about, though he knew that he probably should. On one hand, being in this world was a dream come true for him, and wondered how he could go back to living his old life, having experienced this. But if he remained here, he would never again know all of the things he enjoyed about his human life: his family; his writing and artwork; books; computers; science; television; the Land Before Time movies themselves. The possibility that he would have to choose one or the other was painful to him.

“I don’t know,” he sighed, “I love being here, but my old life was good, too. I figure I’ll be pining for one or the other, no matter where I stay. The best thing would be if I could move between them, ya know? Spend some of my time here, and some of my time in my own universe. Trouble is, I don’t know how I even got here in the first place, so getting back might be a problem, let alone finding a way to move between universes at will.”

He brightened up. “But, I don’t wanna waste time worrying about that right now. I’ve only been here a day, after all. There’s plenty of things I’d like to do before I’d even think about going home. Like getting to know everyone else in the valley.”

"Actually, I have no idea.  I guess we'll see what the day brings us," Anna replied.  "But you're more than welcome to hang with us if ya want.  You're Amy. right?"

Amy was in the middle of chewing, with her eyes wide, so she just nodded. Then she swallowed. "And you're Cancerian Tiger on the GOF am I correct?"
---------------
Red Claw spent his time listening and smelling to everything around him. The sounds, the smells, everything he knew when he could see, he could not recognize and "see" everything in a new way. In some way it mystified him, but in another way, it angered him that sight was taken away from him. Suddenly he thought of the flyer again.

I WILL make her pay...I just have to heal a bit...then I can try to get her again...

"Yeah, that's right!" Anna chirped.  Ducky looked at Amy, then back at Anna.

"Do you two know each other?" Ducky asked curiously.

"Yup.  We both come from the human world, but we have not met in person before arriving here," Anna explained.

"How is that possible?" Ducky asked again.  Anna could tell the poor swimmer was becoming confused.

"Well...it's a long story.  Let's just say there are ways humans can communicate with each other without actually standing in front of each other," Anna replied.  Ducky simply reached up and scratched her head while looking confused.

Sam reached where amy anna and ducky were.

Thud woke up. "So if we're going after that flyer again what time do you want to,' thud asked redclaw.

Red Claw jumped a bit from suddenly hearing Thud speak.

Then he responded in a gruff voice, "looking" the other way, "Well...once we have our fill and once I healed up a bit more, we can go after that beakhead again. Right now, let's just try to get through the day."
----------------
Amy made a huge grin when Anna said that. "It's great to see you here Anna, and as a dinosaur too." She chuckled a bit. Then she saw Sam and said, "Oh good morning Sam."

"You're more than welcome to hang out with us," Anna replied.  She then felt Ducky tap her hand.

"Anna, I am too high up to jump safely, yep yep yep.  Could you please set me down?" Ducky asked.

"Sure," Anna giggled as she set Ducky down.  Ducky then walked up to Sam.

"I am Ducky, and my brother Spike is right over there.  He does not talk much, no no no," Ducky chattered as she looked up at Sam.

"...it couldn't have been the hidden canyon" Belmont said "I see, maybe there was a gap in the great wall" Bron suggested "maybe" Belmont replied before getting up, morphing into dino form and saying goodbye to Bron and Shorty, Belmont headed back to the cave.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"yeah" Ali replied as she left with Littlefoot.

Once Cera finished her breakfast, she looked up at Tria.

"Tria, is it okay if I go play with my friends now?" she asked as Tricia finished up her breakfast.

“Say,” Guido said, “last night, before we went to sleep, weren’t Cera and Ducky and Tricia already sleeping nearby, and there was this swimmer who was with them, and you asked heró”

Pangaea slapped his forehead. “Gaaaaah!” he squawked exasperatedly, “I totally forgot! Anna, I think her name wasóI wanted to talk to her and Ducky and Cera when they’d all woken up! Why can I never remember these things?!” He slapped himself again and again, cursing: “Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!”

Guido was a little startled by how distressed Pangaea had suddenly become. His outburst wasn’t all that loud (certainly nowhere near one of Cera and her father were capable of), but it was something of a shock to see him act this upset, especially since he had so far appeared to be a relatively reserved and soft-spoken individual.

“Uh...uh...it’s not that bad,” Guido stammered hesitantly, wanting to calm Pangaea down and not make the situation worse, “I didn’t see them around when we got up. They must have woken up first and left already. Maybe one of them had to go home, and she didn’t want to wake us up. I–I–I’m sure we can find them again.”

Realizing that he had flustered Guido (and feeling bad for it), Pangaea hastily attempted to regain his composure. “Sorry...” he said, taking a deep breath, “Sorry. Got a bit theatrical there. Bad habit of mine. I just...forget things a lot, and tend to get mad at myself when I do. And sometimes, if I’m really frustrated, I blow up like I did just now, because I don’t know how else to get it out of my system. Trouble is, sometimes people think it’s them I’m mad at.” He looked at Guido guiltily. “Again, I’m really, really sorry.”

“Oh, oh, don’t worry about it,” Guido told him, “You just kinda scared me there.” He gave a nervous chuckle.

“Thank you,” Pangaea said, relieved that Guido was so understanding, “I’ll try to be more careful about that.”

“No problem,” Guido replied, “C’mon; if you want to talk to Cera or Ducky or, uh...that other swimmer, let’s go find them right now.”

"Go on Cera. Have fun! I'll be with your father today... we have some things to discuss..." Tria replied to her stepdaughter.

Grandpa Longneck looked at Threehorn.  "Good morning Mr. Threehorn.  What do you wish to discuss?  Are the young ones to loud again?  Young ones do tend to be loud at times when they are having fun."  He said smiling in a friendly way.

--

Kor decided to climb a good size tree and have a look around at the nearby surroundings.

Petrie turned back when her thought he heard his mother mention his uncle's name.  He turned back to hover in front of her.  "Uncle back?  But me think he gone for 5 cold times." he said in surprise.

"Thanks, Tria," Cera replied with a smile.  "C'mon, Tricia.  Let's go see what the others are up to."  Tricia giggled and babbled in response as she caught up to her older.  She walked next to Cera as they looked around for any signs of the others.

Rebecca replied, "Yes Petrie, he's returned. I was surprised to see him back myself. He actually tried to help fight the sharpteeth away. Maybe you should go find him and welcome him. I know he'll be happy to see you." Petrie's mother smiled warmly.

Mr. Three Horn stared sternly at the longneck and replied, "Please, the kids are great, it has to do with last night, with the sharp teeth coming in."

Little Foot was leading Ali away but stopped when he heard Mr. Three Horn talking about sharpteeth. He wondered what he had to say.

Amy was done eating her fish, so she turned to the others and watched him converse. She did not want to interrupt any conversation so she just listened to everyone.
