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

"Think you have the art supplies to handle that Rafiki?" Kovu smiled, unable to hold back a chuckle.

Kiara and Vitani followed after Nala, into the grasslands.

"I hate to sound mean," Vitani told the other 2, "But sometimes i wish that Damon cub would shut up...."

"Till either he or I feels he's had enough," Kovu smirked to Rafiki, "Hope you like black and brown," he chuckled to Simba, "Though be advised, with those colors you may suddenly have all the lionesses attracted to you...."

Kopa meanwhile was finishing his run around the kingdom, unaware of what was going on with the other group  Running was a way for him to focus within, a place for him to reflect about himself as a lion, rather than on his place in everything..so far, he thought the transition to being a prince was going well. he had the makings of good relationships with both kiara and Kovu. he was beginning to date vitani, whom he really liked, when he gave it some thought..

 Just be careful with my husband Kovu Nala laughed " I do want him to see his grandcubs after all..course it will be a shock seeing him look like you ha ha..

Damon hunched back and grinned nearviously. His ears were pinned up againist his head. "OK, OK. I was just trying to be funny, Could ya cut me some slack. This is my first attempt at non-cynical humor." He said nerviously as he remained silent.

"It won't be too much of a shock," Kovu chuckled to Nala, "Come on, Simba...."

When they got to the tree, they saw Rafiki smirking at Simba.

Nuteri Climbed into the tree and started helping Rafiki look for the right supplies.. " When was  the last time you cleaned this tree? Nuteri's voice came down from in the leaves..
_ Hey guys" Kopa said , running up to them '  just finished my run.. whats going on? He asked as he noticed grins on both Kiara's and Kovu's faces..

"Well Kopa," Kovu smirked, "Your dad is going to have a bit of a makeover, if you will, and I think it's really gonna be for the better...."

"Simple terms," Kiara added, "we're gonna give daddy Kovu's colors."

Kopa burst out laughing.. ' Ha Ha Ha! You're kidding right? Ok, what did Dad do to deserve this?
_ Its a form of payback for exiling Kovu before.. "Nala said " oh i see Kopa shrugged " well that all happened while I was training with Nuteri so it doesn't have any effect on me..So how long is dad going to have to look like that? " we really don't know, its pretty much up to Kovu.." nala said.. " Rafiki and Nuteri are going through Rafiki's stores of supplies to see if he has enough to do a full job, your dad is a big lion after all, and there a lot of mane and body to cover.. " For the mane I would suggest have him roll in a lot of mud,. " that only works in turning his mane brown..  we need to turn it to black. Nuteri cut in.. Kopa turned and looked at Vitani and Nuka, both looked like they were about to burst from laughter...

"Sweet, sweet, payback," Nuka giggled, trying not to be loud.

"This is so rich...." Vitani laughed.

Kovu carefully climbed up the tree to help look through Rafiki's supplies. "Well, well, what do we have here?" he grinned widely at one spot.

"I dunno...." Kovu laughed, turning to his friends and his mate. "Kiara? Vitani? Nuka? Do any of you have suggestions? I'm going to be one of the kings soon, so I need to be able to hear others out...."

Alright.. I'm going to have Zazu compose a " remember" list. And near the top of that will be " never piss off Kovu" Kopa smirked. " Hey dad It could be worse.. They could make you look like mom or Kiara.." Simba gave him a look " Don't go there Kopa.. alright? Its bad enough I'm probably going to spend weeks looking like my son-in law..
_ yes lets not embarass the king any more than necessary.. still this is nothing compared to what King Nuti had to endure? remember him Kopa/ " the king with 6 cubs? yeah I remember him..yeah he had 6 children , two boys and four girls.. honestly, i can't imagine why they would have had so many?" Love, my boy.. Every cub in royal family is important, no matter where they are in the pecking order..

"Yeah..." Kiara and Nuka nodded, both being in that kind of situation, "It's true..."

Kovu saw that Rafiki had gathered what was needed. "Your appointment is ready, Simba," the young lion smirked.

" i figure this tranformation will last 6 weeks or so.. give or take a week.. " so in short You have no idea" Simba cracked..

"We'll just see what time does," Kovu smirked, holding Simba by one paw, Kiara, Vitani, and Nuka joining in, "Maybe you'll want to stay my colors, who knows...."

"Point taken..." Kovu nodded.

Luuckily, the lions were informed that the smell would go away after about a day.

"We all should take art lessons," Kiara grinned to the others.
