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

Gaz took the soda from Alvin and spoke "Thanks I suppose" was all she said as she begun to drink from it.

" "Thanks you suppose"? Is that all you can say I'm gonna....." Simon quickly throws a hand over Alvin's mouth as he continues to mutter angrily to Gaz.

"Alvin says "Your welcome"" Simon said with a smile.

"I sure do hope this here bus can float." Wally Gator said looking at the rain.

Gaz just seemed to glance over to Alvin and Simon as she just continued to drink the soda still, not even saying a word to them.

Droopy continued to sip his hot chocolate using it to warm his hands.   "Based on the shape and construction of this bus I would assume it is not designed to float." Droopy said.

Gary was still driving while keeping the mystery machine in sight with his headlights, thinking it may be better to switch to his high techy car form or starship.  Then he could also use radar and other things to keep keep watch on traffic and keep an eye on the mystery machine and the bus, as well as using near and far infa-red as well.  He decided he would wait a short time longer and if the rain continued he'd find a convenient place to switch without being seen.

Frankie gave off a small laugh at what Droopy had said "Yeah, this bus isn't really built for floating along a river or whatever"

"Well, at least I'll be able to turn into Ripjaws once the Omnitrix become available for use again, that is, if it floods" Ben piped up next.

Stripetail continued passing out the hot chocolate. " i don't think this bus will be floating away. it would take a strong current , like that of a river or flood.  Still , it helps to be prepared..
_ Meanwhile Scooby continued driving through the storm. the road was starting to rise at an angle, they were headed into a higher elevation.. ' Ro ronder rif rhere ris ranyrhere re ran rop' He said the windshield wipers flying back and forth struggling to keep the rain off so he could see..

Frankie continued to drive the bus onwards still, doing her best to see through the pouring down rain as Haley flew over to her "Um, you know, perhaps we should really stop for the night, the storm doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon"

"Yeah, I guess you are right about that" Frankie replied as she glanced over and saw an inn, to which she soon stopped the bus and turned to everyone else "Okay you guys, we're going to stop for the night, I can't really drive anymore in this sort of weather"

Scooby noticed the bus's headlights pulling into an inn, on the side of the road " Guess we're stopping for the night' Dixie said "just pull in on the left side of the Bus, the right side is where everyone will be getting out.. Scooby looked relieved, he was getting tired  as it was..
-
Dee stirred as scooby pulled into a parking spot in fromt of the enterance. it was still raining hard ' I guess we'll have to make a run for it.." She said grabbing her things and getting up off the passenger seat. she opened the door and headed out into the storm, closing the  van door behind her she dashed for the inn door.. Scooby and Dixie right behind her..

Zim looked out into the rain before he ran across to the inn, yelling at the moment as the rain seemed to burning his face as well.

"Uh....okay?" Jake asked back as he and Haley flew across as well.

Squidward on the other hand, stood there, glancing at Frankie "You expect me to go out there in the rain?"

"Unless you want to stay on this cold bus tonight" Frankie replied back to which Squidward glared at her for a long hard second.

"I hate you..." was all Suidward said as he walked over to join the rest of the group as well, along with Ben.

Seeing the rain was not letting up Gary looked for and quickly found a convenient place to drive into where no one was anywhere around being some bushes and trees off the road and switched to his cgi animated high techy, science fictiony car form.  He partially retracted his tires with a bit of ? sliding down to cover them.  He then turned  on his hover fans and hovermode as well as all of his sensors including the full emp spectrum before going back to the road to follow the mystery machine.  

Much easier since in this form he didn't need to use any tires and his sensors included radar, sonar, and the full emp spectrum, of course, included near and far infrared as well so it made keeping a watch on the road and other traffic as well as following the mystery machine very easy.  As well as having several on board computers to identify the mystery machine and have them keep a watch on it as well.

Frankie collected what money Madame Foster had given her before the whole trip and went and paid the clerk along with the help of Haley, using some of the money the the Mayor had given them.

Each getting a room to share with someone else to at least, cut back in some expenses anyway.

Wally and Droopy got off the bus after putting down their blanket and cups of hot chocolate.  Droopy ran for the door while Wally walked, not minding getting wet since he liked to swim often.  

Once near the front desk Droopy waited for Wally who lifted him onto the front desk so he would not be over looked.  

"We'd like a room for the night."Droopy said.  

- - -

Gary saw the bus and Mystery Machine pull into the inn and looked for a nearby out of the way parking lot where he could park.  He thought it cheaper to stay in car form to save money, and have certain other advantages.  

Once he found a place nearby where he could see both the bus and Mystery Machine he activated the stealth mode, which let folks see what was on the other side of him, making him invisible.  Extra effective since he was not moving.  He then had one of the on board computers keep a watch on the bus and Mystery Machine, turned on surveillance mode to keep watch, then started to watch a Charlie Chan in Paris.  Then he thought he may watch the Marx Brothers on Cocoanuts before trying to sleep in car mode, with the surveillance mode left on.

Ok, thats 25 dollars' Greg replied. I'll give you Room 220. He said to Droopy and wally, handing them the key.
 Dee finished her bath and rubbed herself down with a towel, meanwhile Scooby and Dixie continued to watch the game, which was filled with more hitting than scoring, it was 3-3 entering the 3rd.  scooby put his arm around Dixie who rested her head against him as she watched the game. "I would never want to play hockey.. much too violent..' "Rell, re right rave ro" Scooby admitted.  " What? Why? Dixie started. "Recause, rits ra rame rin rhe raffarympics' Scooby explained " Did you play it the last time you were in the games? 'Ro, rut re right rhis rime." Dixie looked at her husband and shook her head."Cousin? Dee called out. 'the shower is yours".she said heading out, wearing a fresh gdress it was a light red color.
_
Dixie got up off the bed, and headed to the bathroom.
_ Cindy curled up on the bed in Yogi's room, a while yogi and bobo watched tv. 'i do hope they were let me play in the games again " She said ' Why not? you were in them before.."

Droopy paid the amount while Wally took the key.  "Thanks." Wally said before helping Droopy down to the floor so they could both then walk to the hotel room.

The rest of the toons also got a room for the night, of course, doubling up in the rooms.  Jake and Haley in one, Zim and Gir in another, Mac and Bloo together, Gaz and Fang in another room with Squidward and Frankie being in, yet, another room of their own.

Ben, on the other hand, was luckily enough to get a room all to himself, sitting in his room, already playing video games to pass away the time.

Dixie got into the bathroom and undressed . She climbed into the tub and turned the water on. flinching as the water was cold at first but then warmed up. Dixie scrubbed her fur, creating foam around her front, and sides. Dixie sighed as she settled into the tub. She needed this, some 'her' time, to reflect on what was going on. she would do anything to help Scooby and the others save toon town, after all he was her husband
