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

Luke landed beside Jared and Rinkus as they were hugging. "What's this? If you two are going somewhere, could I tag along? I have a feeling it's not safe to be near Sierra right now..." He clasped his hands and looked entreatingly at the pair of them.

Sure, you can, if you want to Luke. Rinkus and I are gonna go to a private, empty cave that's close by Pterano's cave, sit down and fart! It'll be FUN! :lol While we fart, Rinkus and i'll talk for a little bit!

We'll go back to Pterano's cave when we're done farting.  You still wanna come, Luke? "  :DD said Jared, who was all smiles about farting in that empty cave with Rinkus.

Devon turned to Jared, Rinkus (who make a great father son couple by the way!  :yes ) and Luke. "Okay, have fun!" He turned to his father. "Ya know...um...Dad, things don't have to be this way, ya know." he explained. (I edited this because I was feeling sorry for Sierra. Thanks alot, Pterano. :p)

Luke's beak twitched. "Farting, you say? I know your farts, Jared, and they're a force to be reckoned with." He smiled. "But I'll see if I can cope." Preparing to take off, he joked; "Do either of you know a cave with an escape route that's big enough?"

Jared noticed a cave that was close by. It was very high up like Pterano's, no sharptooth could reach it, only a flyer. and it looked pretty empty.

"THERE'S a cave guys, right there!" Jared said, flapping and pointing at the empty cave he saw. "Let's go use that one. It looks safe enough." Jared said excitedly to Rinkus and Luke. "It's WAY up high, and only a flyer could reach it. Let's go." said Jared, flying to the cave with a grin.  :)

Sierra had landed, but had not been able to catch sight of Pterano. He had no idea where that slippery flyer was. He growled a little, and looked over at Rinkus, who was having his belly cried into by Jared. He grimaced as Jared mentioned their new hobby. "Great... what did I fly into?" he asked, rolling his eyes.

Rinkus wasn't sure about how best to respond at first. "Well... Jared, I'm glad you think of me that way. I really do try my best." He was older than Jared, so he could see how it would work. "I guess I just got a bit too lazy in my last few years." he said, patting his gut and then Jared's back.

"Um... I can't promise that I have anything in me, but I'll try, for your sake." he looked up at the cave. "Let's go then."

Sierra groaned in disgust, and shuffled away from them, but unwittingly brought himself by Devon. "Huh?" he asked, looking over at his son. "What... did you just call me?" he must have been hearing things, as there was no way that Devon could have just called him "dad".

Devon tried his best to keep calm. For without Pterano around, his father might...there's not telling what his father would do. But he knew he had to be brave. "I'm not saying I'm not mad at you. You have been putting doubts into my head ever since I was a kid and abusing me as well. And I look at Pterano like a dad because he's actually held me and took care of me. But...because of how you were feeling...that you actually cared that Pterano took me in...I was expecting you wouldn't...I..." Oh dear, never before had he done anything more painful than this..."I would like to give you a second chance." He almost barfed at the thought. He hated his father, yet he felt sorry for him. Why is that? Is it because Pterano had taught him to give people a chance? Could be...

He just stood there, heart racing in his chest, pulse pumping in his neck, waiting for an answer.

Sierra looked over at Devon, not sure if he heard the flyer right. "You... what? Want to give me a second chance?" he asked, dropping his wings to his side. He really wasn't sure if he was dreaming now or not. "Why... on earth would you want to do that?" he asked, his voice low, almost a mumble of incredulity.

"Don't ask why. It's too painful to explain." Devon rolled his eyes. "I just do. Let's leave it at that." He sighed, spreading his wings. "I'm going to find Pterano. In the mean time, think about it." And he took off.

And as he flew in Pterano's direction, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. And he knew Pterano would be proud of him as well. And yes, it was the fact that Pterano taught him to forgive others and give them a second chance. Maybe this would work out. Maybe...

Sierra decided to take flight as well, as he wasn't sure if he was going to feel sick or let his head keep swimming like it was was. He decided it would be somewhere in between if he could help it. He needed to clear his thoughts, and for a moment, considered chasing after Devon, to ask him more, but as he was going to find Pterano, there was no point in intruding on that.

Sierra sighed, spread his wings, and took off, going in the opposite direction of Devon, and not really sure where he'd end up. He just wanted to think, and stay by himself for a little while.

As they flew on, Harper focused on the dart of blue (?) that was Fury and where he was in relation to her position. She focused on attempting to get ahead of that position, just in friendly competition of course, but still she would win this!

Petrie had never seen his sister so determined. He put enough speed into the effort but heard Pterano's breathless call. With a little laugh he flew back closer. "Aw, come on Uncle, you not that old" he said flying beside him.

Redback looked up from his feeding, and saw the young flyers headed towards the grove. Smiling, he waved to them.

"C'mon, little guys! First one here gets a treesweet!" he shouted to them, waving the tiny pink flower in his claw.

Tero the nudged him in the side, tapping the side of his beak, as if to tell the sharptooth something. Redback put his hand to the same spot on his mouth, and felt a damp spot. Drawing his hand away, he saw a small stain of blood on his claws.

"Oh geez! Must have been from that crawly lizard!" He muttered, hastily trying to find something to get rid of the bloodstain. He had indeed indulged his carnivorous side on some small lizards he had found. Gulping down the last remnant (The tail), he saw a small pool of water at the base of the mountainside where the flyer's cave was. He dashed out of the grove, making a run for the pool.

Jared landed at the entrance of the nearby cave. He then told Luke and Rinkus,

"Guys, let's sit down close to the entrance of the cave. That way, we can exit quickly when we're finished or when smell gets to be too much to take."

Then, the tan rhamphorhynchus grinned and snickered... "All right, Rinkus and Luke...let's go in. Pick a spot to sit down against the cave wall, and *heh heh* let the farting begin!"  :)

"Hey, Pterano! Wait up!!!" Devon shouted at the red flyer and his nephew. He was going too fast as he forgot to slow down, so he flew past Pterano and Petrie. "Whoa!" he shouted, realizing he was about to hit the tree.

He switched directions just in time, flying towards Pterano. He again forgot to slow down as he rammed into the red flyer, sending them higher in the air by a few feet, then landing in a hidden cave near the top of a huge cliff.

Pterano lifted his head to face the blue flyer on top of him, panting. "Don't ever do that..." He panted again. "again."

Devon lifted his head that was buried in Pterano's shoulder. "...Sorry..."

Petrie was startled as Devon came flying in so jerkily and the little hatchling watched as the two went carening over to a cave before landing in what seemed a painful huddle.

He winced then flew over, "You ok?" the question was sort of asked to both. He'd given up the race by flying over, sure, but Petrie hadn't really cared about it in the first place.

By now, Pterano and Devon stood on their feet as Pterano held his back in pain. "Just a little hurt in the back, but other than that, I'm okay." He tried to stand up straight, but that sent even more pain down his spinal cord. "Oww!!!...I hope..."

Petrie gasped and flew over, "You no fine, you hurt" the hatchling frowned in worry over his favorite, if only one he knew about, uncle. His eyes went wide as once again he though of the worst thing to happen out of any accident, "Oh! What if you  no can fly!" Petrie looked really worried over this prospect.

(Petrie's such a little worry wart, but a cute one at that  :lol)

(Oh Mama's girl. You're sure right about that. I loved Petrie in Cold Fire. He was so adorable!! Any way, ON TO THE STORY!!! :lol )

"Don't worry Petrie," Pterano assured, still clutching his back but held up a paw. "I'll be fine. Maybe I just need to rest." With that, Pterano sat down, leaning his back against he wall.

"Well, okay then." Luke entered the cave and planted himself on the closest rock to the entrance. He looked uncomfortably at Jared and Rinkus. "Eh... after you two," he encouraged, kicking his tail nervously.

**I'm putting this story on hold for 4-5 weeks, my mom's taking the laptop with her on a Michigan trip. So i'll have no computer access until about the weekend after the 4th of July. I'll announce when we can continue posting as soon as I can. In the meantime, please don't forget me or this story. And please. don't move on without me! I'll feel sad and heartbroken if I get left out of my own adventure with Pterano and the gang.  :cry  so. I'll make one last post before putting "Flyers" on hold (till the weekend after the 4th, if not sooner...and I'll tell you guys when i'm back here on the GOF after I get to use my mom's laptop once again.. Now, let me make one last post before the hold..**

Jared sat down and grinned. "Ok, me first."

*PRRRT!* Jared let out a short, noisy one.. "Hahh! Ha Haa!"  :lol:  :lol he snickered and giggled.

"Ok, Rinkus, you go next, buddy!" said Jared, still snickering, as he looked at his pink friend with a huge grin. It was going to be fun farting with Rinkus. Jared really loved living with the pink flyer and he was never ever going to leave him.
