Here is my next story on Hopper's POV. It takes place during the movie. I know this takes place during the movie so no flames or mean comments please! I own nothing Bug's Life belongs to Disney and Pixar.

That one hot day,me and my gang are flying to Ant Island to get the food that the ants had collected for offering. The ants had BETTER collect enough food,or else I'll get really angry. It was really a long trip to Ant Island. Me and my gang were from Mexico,but grasshoppers can fly long ways without stopping (unless if we need to take a break). So anyway,while we were flying,my thoughts were on the food for the offering that the ants were collecting right now.

My thoughts were interrupted by my sister Tessa saying, "tell me why were doing this because I don't like this one bit."

I rolled my eyes, "we're doing this because the ants have more food and we're the ones who need the food too. If you don't like it then I would make you leave the gang,but I can't because of Mother's promise."

Tessa gave me a disapproving glare. I glared back at her. We continued glaring at each other,which was like a staring contest. I was not in the mood to do a staring contest,so I turned around,facing forward,ignoring the fact that Tessa was still glaring at me.

Me and my gang were continuing flying and we were nearly there. Ant Island was so close;so close that I was looking forward to get the food. But when we approached Ant Island,I didn't see any food on the offering stone! I faced the offering stone with an angry expression. The ants didn't do what I told them to do.

"What's going on!" One of the grasshoppers asked in a demanding tone.

"Yeah! Where's the food!" I heard Molt asking in a demanding tone as well.

I faced the offering stone for a minute, then I turned toward my gang, then I looked down at the ground. There's only one way to confront the ants. Breaking and entering.

We all slammed our foots down on the ground. And my gang went down in the holes that they smashed down on and scrambled inside the anthill. I heard the ants panicking to try and not get stepped on by my gang. I waited till all of the grasshoppers were inside the anthill and the ants had enough running around inside. Finally,I decided to make an appearance. I jumped down in one of the holes and landed on the floor of the anthill.

I saw three ants crawling on the ground,but they stopped crawling and everyone stopped panicking as soon as I landed inside the anthill. I looked down at them. I felt my antennas twitch and I bended down and looked at them. I can tell that they were scared of me. Ha! I know that they should be scared because I was getting more angry by the second.

"H-Hopper." The middle ant stammered.

I stood straight then I stepped over the three ants and I begin walking. The ants let me passed through while I was walking. I paused for a second then turned and continued walking. The ants spread out and backed away. I stopped walking and in a quiet voice I asked, "so where is it?"

There was no answer. "WHERE'S MY FOOD!" I shouted angrily,turning around.

There was silence for a minute. "Isn't it up there?" The princess asked in a scared tone,pointing at one of the holes.

"What?" I snapped,walking toward the princess.

"The food was in a leaf sitting on a---" The princess started.

"Excuse me?" I interrupted. I was not in the mood to hear excuses.

"Are you sure it's not up there?" The princess questioned.

I stopped walking and I looked at the princess with a bored expression. "Are you saying I'm stupid?" I asked coldly.

"No." The princess replied.

I didn't believe her. "Do I look stupid?---To you?" I challenged. "Lets think about the logic shall we? Lets just think about it for a second. If it was up there. Would I be coming down here? To your level---looking for it?"

The princess mumbled something that I couldn't hear.

"Why am I even talking to you?" I asked,smelling her with my antennas with her squirming. "You don't look like a queen,you don't smell like the queen."

"She's learning to take over for me,Hopper." The queen said.

"Oh! I see." I said,getting it. "Under new management!"

I turned toward the princess again. "So it's your fault?"

"It wasn't me. It was---" The princess pointed at someone in the group. I looked behind me,but I didn't see anything.

"Uh-uh-uh." I interrupted. "First rule of leadership;everything is your fault!"

I made the princess sit down on the rock that she was standing on. "It's a buggy-bug world out there,princess. One of those circle-of-life kind of things." I explained.

"Let me tell you how things are supposed to work: The sun grows the food,the ants pick the food,the grasshoppers eat the food..."

"And the birds eat the grasshoppers." Molt interrupted. I turned and looked at him with an annoyed expression.

"Hey like remember the one that nearly ate you,you remember?" Molt asked me. "You should have seen him."

"Molt---" I responded,trying to make him shut up.

Then I turned and looked at Tessa. Tessa slapped a hand over Molt's mouth to make him shut up. At least she understands that I don't want to be embarrassed either. Molt took Tessa's hand off of his mouth and held it so he can continue talking.

"Please let me finish the story." Molt said to Tessa. "So anyways this blue jay! He has him down his throat okay! And Hopper's-Hopper's kicking and screaming okay! And I'm scared,I'm not going anywhere near there."

I walked over to Molt,who still couldn't keep his big mouth shut.

"Aw! Come on,it's a great story!" Molt insisted. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" I grabbed his antennas and a couple of grasshoppers got out of the way and I slammed him to the wall. Tessa walked by Molt's side.

"I swear! If I hadn't promised mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you---I'd kill you!" I threatened Molt. Then to Tessa I said, "And you! I thought I could trust you to make sure that Molt keeps his mouth shut!"

"Hey! I tried,okay?" Tessa said.

"And believe me,no one appreciates that more than I do." Molt replied. I can tell that he was ignoring Tessa.

I turned back to Molt. "Shut up!" I snapped. "I don't want to hear one more word out of you anymore while we're on this Island. Do you understand me?"

Molt answered by whimpering. "I said DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" I asked coldly,shaking Molt angrily.

"Well,how can I answer? You told me not to say another word." Molt said

What an idiot! I growled angrily and I balled my fist,getting ready to give him a knuckle sandwich. "Ahh! Remember ma?" Molt asked quickly.

Instead of punching Molt,I turned around and punched the nearest grasshopper. I panted heavily.

"Um,Hopper?" Tessa asked,patting my shoulder.

"What?" I snapped,glancing at her.

Tessa pointed at something. I turned around and it looked like the ants have been watching the whole thing. Whoops,I guess I shouldn't have lost my temper with Molt.

I stopped panting. "Hey I'm a compassionate insect!" I said,smiling as if nothing happened. "There are still a few months till the rains come. So you can all just try again."

"But Hopper,since it's almost the rainy season,we need this time to gather food for ourselves." The queen replied.

"Listen! If you don't keep your end of the bargain,then I can't guarantee your safety,and there are insects out there that will take advantage of you." I said. "Someone can get hurt." I snapped my fingers.

I heard Thumper growling and a couple of grasshoppers got out of the way to show Thumper. There was another grasshopper holding Thumper's leash to keep him from hurting anybody. The tiny ant ran from the rock to get away from Thumper.

I picked up the tiny ant. "What's the matter? Are you scared of grasshoppers?" I asked in a fake gentle tone,walking close to Thumper,not caring that the tiny ant is scared of Thumper.

"Dot." I heard one of the ants saying the name of the tiny ant.

"You don't like Thumper?" I said,holding the tiny ant out to Thumper.

"Leave her alone!" I heard someone speak up.

I turned and glared at the ant that actually stood up to me. I walked up to the ant,ready to beat him up. Instead,I held out the tiny ant to him. He definitely looked ashamed. He had better be ashamed!

"You want her?" I asked. "Go ahead---take her."

The ant just stood there,looking down at the ground,not making any movements or answering my question. It's like he stood up to me for nothing,even though he didn't.

"No?" I answered for him. "Then get back in line!" I said through my clenched teeth.

The ant did as he was told and joined the rest of the ants.

"It seems to me that you ants are forgetting your place." I spoke up. "So lets double---the order of food."

The ants gasped as I walked to one of the holes that one of the grasshoppers broke through. "No,but,but,but---" The princess stammered.

"We'll be back at the end of the season---" I said,walking over to Molt and Tessa who were both standing under the hole. Molt closed his eyes,thinking that I'm going to beat him up,and Tessa put her arm around Molt,also thinking that I was going to beat up Molt. Well they thought wrong! I pulled a piece of skin off of Molt. "When the last leaf---falls." I said,dropping the piece of skin.

"Dunh,dunh,duh." Tessa replied.

I glanced at Tessa with my arms crossed and frowning.

"What? I'm just adding effect." Tessa said.

What a weirdo. I just rolled my eyes then I turned to the other ants and backed away to one of the holes.

My antennas twitched. "You ants have a nice summer." I said quietly. "LETS RIDE!" I barked to my gang.

The grasshoppers fluttered their wings and I bended my legs and I took off flying out of one of the holes. As soon as I was outside,I waited for my gang to come out. Soon the rest of my gang flew out of the hole. And we all flew back to the sombrero.

Tessa and Molt were flying next to me. I looked at Molt then I flew over to him and whacked him in the head.

"Ow!" Molt said,rubbing his head.

"Thanks so much for almost embarrassing me!" I said angrily and sarcastically. "You're very lucky that I didn't beat you up."

"But you were explaining about the world,so I thought I could include a memory." Molt replied.

I whacked him again. "Don't ever! Mention that story again." I said coldly.

Molt gulped,nodding.

"Hey give him a break! It's only one time!" I heard Tessa.

"I don't care if it's only one time." I said. "I'm not going to let anybody embarrass me."

"Okay,okay,calm down." Tessa said. "Geez who put dirt in your wings?"

"Just don't talk to me. I'm angry right now." I said through clenched teeth.

"I bet it sucked that the ants didn't collect the food." Tessa said.

"Don't remind me." I mumbled.

Tessa stopped talking and I didn't speak the rest of the way. I was extremely angry at the ants. I don't care if the ants need more time,they owe me twice as much food since they didn't do what I tell them to do.

Okay. Tell me if I made any mistakes.
