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

"Can I also taste one,' sam asked. "I also have heard a lot about them but they just don't grow where I come from,' sam said.

Petrie started to fly into the air.  "Maybe there treesweets in trees nearby." He said as he started looking for a tree with some treesweets.  

---

Grandpa Longneck decided to head over to near the thunderting falls since some of the underwater green food there was especially tasty and grew at a good rate of speed.  As he walked there he ate a few leaves now and then from some trees as he passed, and a treesweet.

"Chronicler? That's a rather interesting name," said Ruby. "Why are you called that?"

"That would require some explaining," said Chronicler.

"I have all day available. Please tell me everything you need to tell me."

"Maybe later. I still need some time getting used to not only this new body but also being in this universe."

"Hey, that reminds me, would you like to meet my friends?"

Chronicler hesitated. "Not really. Nobody every really wanted to be friends with me and I've actually gotten used to it by now. You heard me right, I prefer being alone."

"But you'll never know how great it is to have friends until you actually have friends. Now come with me and I'll introduce you to them."

Chronicler sighed. "Alright, but if you have a lot of friends you want me introduced to, don't expect a kind attitude out of me."

"I have a right to collect anything I want. It's just junk anyway."

Mim led Flapper towards the thundering falls area, stopping along the way to wash their hands clean of the stickness from the couple of treesweets they had eaten.  

"Much better." Mim said now that her hands were clean.  "Just this way." She said and continued to lead the way towards the Thundering Falls area.  

Flapper continued following Mim, remembering some scenes from movies and tv episodes he had seen, but this was different actually seeing them for real.

John panted as he came to a halt, "if this is what goes on in the Gang Of Five, then I might as well cancel my membership" he said in-between gasps.

When he caught his breath John found that he was at the Longneck's nest, the home of Littlefoot and his grandparents, unfortunatly, no one was there.

Little Foot pulled out some of the lower tree sweets and gave them to Sam and Rick.

"Here you go, they're really good!"

Drew contiuned to scream, err...roar in fear at what he had become before he quickly went to breathing heavily. Getting up, he reached with one of his small arms to his new snout as he said "What in the world have I become, some sort of...T-rex".

As he stood their on his new legs, Chomper came from out of the bushes, looking for the source of the noise. Seeing the new T-Rex, he clicked at him. Drew turned around in shock and stared at the small t-rex. Blinking, he siad "What".

Chomper tried again, as he clicked and sqeualed.

Drew shook his head, as he siad "I dont understand what your saying".

Chomper looked confused, as he siad "You can talk like a leaf eater, but cant talk like a sharptooth".

"He looks familar" Drew thought to himself, as he looked down embarssed. "Well..uhh...heh heh, no one really taught me how". Looking up, he siad "I'm...Drew".

"My name's Chomper, nice to meet you" he smiled a toothy grin as he shook Drew's hand. As Chomper backed up, he said "So, whatcha doing here in the great valley anyway".

Drew looked away as he thought "The great valley....as in land before time?!? WHOA, NO WAY". Drew realized he took to long to answer, as he blushed "Well umm...just kinda new here, and wanted to look around". Looking at his big feet, he siad "I dont have any friends here, and wanted to go say hi I guess".

"I can take you too meet my friends if you want" Chomper smiled, eager to introduce his new friend.

Drew was stunned. Chomper was one of his favs in land before time, and he felt lucky to be talking with him. But to meet all the others?!? Wow that would be cool!! Drew noded eagerly, feeling like a kid again as he remarked "Yeah, please take me to meet them".

Chomper then beckoned "Okay this way, follow me". He then turned on and led the way through the forest of fear towards the valley.

Anna and Ducky had been startled by Mr. Threehorn at first, but they sighed in relief after his tune changed.

"Uh...sure I'll come!  Well, it was nice meeting y'all.  Maybe we can meet up later," Anna said before catching up to Mr. Threehorn.  

"Good luck!" Ducky called with a smile before she turned her attention to Spike.

________________

Meanwhile, Cera and Tricia were still back at home.  Cera kept pacing back and forth while Tricia sat and watched her.

"I hope Daddy sees Anna's not bad," Cera said to Tricia.  Tricia giggled and noddedin agreement.

Mr. Three Horn lead Anna away from the Thundering falls and they went near one of the water holes in the Great Valley. He drank a bit of the water there before he asked any other questions. Then he sat himself comfortably next to a rock and he his expression was stern as usual.

"Anna, please sit down and make yourself comfortable. I have many things to discuss with you."

Okay," said Anna as she sat down and faced Mr. Threehorn.  "Look, if this has anything to do with what happened between me and Cera, I take responsibility and full blame for it.  I probably got carried away defending myself with treesweets, and I understand your daughters are still very young.  If I caused them any harm, I'm truly sorry.  I can understand if I'm not allowed anywhere near 'em again."

Grandpa Longneck reached the Thundering falls and started to drink some of the water, then to eat some of the underwater green food, one of his favorite places in the Great Valley.  

Petrie nodded to what Littlefoot said, "you try, you like." He said.

Rick was eager, but hesitant as he used his tongue and ate a few of the treesweets. His eyes suddenly widened as he sat down, while he struggled not to cry at the taste he could feel racing across his taste buds.

Grandma Longneck at first looked concerned for Rick, but then realized he was only shocked at how sweet the treesweets really tasted.
But she decided to ask just for safety sake, "Are you alright Rick..."

~~~

Spike turned to Ducky and gave a low sounding moan as if to ask if Anna would be okay with Mr.Threehorn.

Sam also tried the tree sweets and was also shocked at how sweet they were. "That a very unique taste very sweet,' sam said.

"Do not worry, Spike. I am sure Anna will be okay with Cera's dad," Ducky reassured her brother in her normally optimistic fashion.

As Anna sat in front of Mr. Threehorn, she could not get the siz of him, especially his horns, out of her mind.

Great, big horns, Anna thought to herself.  Big tail, big feet, big everything.  If he has it in for me, I'm screwed.

Upon hearing no answer, Markus unsteadily got to his feet, wincing as his spine cracked at the movement. His shock gave way to slight terror as he beheld himself as a swimmer, utterly baffled at his sudden transformation. "What the...?" He held up a saurian hand to his face, fascinated yet terrified at the same time.

"How could this possibly happen?" he wondered aloud, glancing about his suroundings before returning his gaze to his new form. "Not only am I in a world with dinosaurs, I AM one!" Another thought made him cringe slightly in fear. "But...can I return to a human form?"

The thought of being stuck in a form that, as interesting and cool as it was, was not his own drove a deep stake of fear into his heart. Markus struggled to keep calm, trying to reason his way through his situation. "OK, let's think about this. How do people transform?" His mind immediately wandered to science fiction, the only place he'd ever seen such transformations occur. "If I'm some sort of shapeshifter, then I can probably change back into my human form by thinking about it."

The thought sounded ridiculously easy, but, seeing no alternatives, Markus decided to give it a try. Closing his eyes, he thought of his human self, belatedly hoping he had clothes on. Opening his eyes, he gasped in surprise that he had indeed returned to his normal form. He was no longer a tall, red swimmer, and now appeared to be a regular human in his late teens. He tenatively ran a slightly tan-skinned hand through his short, dark hair, looking down at himself to find he was even wearing the jeans and white T-shirt he had last been wearing.

The transformation relieved Markus to no end, but other questions barraged his mind before he could relax. "I've got to be on some kind of drugs, or dead or something!" he thought to himself as he looked out at his surroundings. "I mean, how can all this be real? How did I get here? How can I transform? And most importantly," he added to himself. "what happened to my car?" The answerless questions tugged at his mind as he took another look around, noting that the dinosaurs he thought he had seen had already left.

"Well, I'm not gonna get any answers standing around here." he thought to himself, walking away from the waterfall through the brush. "Let's see where I've ended up..."

Drew was led through the forest, and out into the great valley. He was so nervous, that at the moment he kept repeating to himself "I wish i were human again!! What if the dinosaurs here freak out" he thought.

Chomper smirked, as he said "This here is the great valley!! It's beautiful isnt it". He always enjoyed coming back here to see his friends and how they were doing.

Drew nodded in response. "Yeah, definetly is" he smiled. He had to admit, that he always did want to go and travel their one day.....even if none of it was real". As Chomper turned around to look at him, he suddenly went wide eyed. "Wh...what our you" he asked.

Drew looked confused, as he said "What our you talking about".

Chomper gasped as he said "Drew, is that you". Drew had suddenly changed from a small teen sharptooth into a creature he'd never seen before.

Drew, noticing the look stared at himself. Seeing his regular clothes back, and skin he cheered "All right!!! I'm human again".

"H...Human, whats a human" Chomper perplexed confused, as he scratched his head with one of his paws.

Drew stared back, as he thought "Well...how do I explain this...".

It was then that John left for the Thundering falls and when he arrived, many of the Great Valley dinosaurs were there,he saw Grandpa Longneck and decided to give him the recent news.

 "Grandpa Longneck" John spoke before continuing,"Bron has returned" and soon John had left.

Amy suddenly woke up from her dream. She slowly got herself up and tried to climb up of the ditch. It hard, for she was weak. So she tried to find boulders to help her climb from rock to rock. She kept slipping again and again. She tried to climb up and up. Higher and higher again. She kept slipping many times, because she felt so weak.

After hours of climbing however, she was able to get to the top. Suddenly she heard a grumble. She peered down again and saw the boulders move, slowly the sharp tooth got up and he shaked himself of the dust. He roared up at her and tried to climb up, but he too, being weak from falling, kept falling back. Amy spat insults at him in very vulgar words. Then she in a huff, limped away.

She slowly walked, because she heard voices faraway with her hearing.

Hmm I guess there is perks to being a flyer. She smiled as she limped to try to find the source of the voices, and hopefully, she would find that human and Pterano. Amy believed that the human was actually Noname from the GOF.

Well, if he is, it's going to be interesting, the discussions and things we could have. His views are so different then mine. Then of course, my ideas are usually different then everyone else's, especially my spiritual views.
-----------------------
"Let me speak before you butt in dear girl." Mr. Three Horn silenced Anna.

Mr. Three Horn dramatically changed his expression and tried to be a bit more friendly, "So I understand you have never been to the Great Valley before. Just where are you from exactly?"

"I believe she is new here" Pterano said, flying in. "Thomas" was close behind.

"She claims to have seen me somewhere before" the human said. "I'm not sure where, but... maybe I have too."

"That was sweeter than I expected it to be,' sam said reflecting on the taste of the treesweet.
