Without you
Chapter 1
He was gone. The one who saved the colony from the grasshoppers power 5 years ago. was now gone No one could believe the news, some chose not to believe it. Atta cried the first night, her and flik had been married for 3 years. They were expecting their first child together but Flik died just a week before the due date. Now Atta was faced having to rule the colony and raise their child alone. She didn't know what to do, flik was always her support system from the very beginning but she was on her own.
Thorney: oh queen Atta, it's great to see you...
Atta: (passes by without saying a word)
Mr soil: we haven't seen you in awhile, how have you been?
Atta: (doesn't answer again)
Mother: guys, leave her be...she's adjusting right now
(Atta walked to the big rock and sat..she looked out into the sky. Where she had sent flik to find the circus bugs...where it all began)
(Flashback)
Flik: (holding his made telescope up to her face) hello princess! My aren't you looking lovely this morning...of course you wouldn't need a telescope to see that
Thorney: alright listen! The princess doesn't have time for this! You wanna help? Then get rid of that machine! Get back in line and pick grain like everybody else!
Cornielous: like everybody else!
Atta: please filk just go
Filk: I'm sorry...I was just...trying to help
(End of flashback)
(Atta felt guilty, flik always believed in her when she didn't believe in herself. She never thought she was cut out for being queen but filk always made sure she didn't forget that. Right then and there she started to cry, she wanted flik back...why him? He had done so many great things why did it have to be him that had to go?)
Dot: Atta...are you ok?
Atta: (turns around and sees dot and wipes her tears fast) dot...I didn't see yo there
Dot: were you crying?
Atta: what? Oh no! I'm ok!
Dot: it's ok if you're upset, I was too
Atta: you were crying?
Dot: well yeah...I miss him too, he was a great friend
Atta: he was...
Dot: I want to help you
Atta: I'm ok for, really I am
Dot: you're my sister, I know when you're lying
Atta: you're only 13 what'd you know?
Dot: it's ok you're upset, he was your husband
Atta: he was more than that...ok fine you're right I'm upset...do you think I was expecting my husband to die and leave me to raise our child all alone?
Dot: you act like you're the only one who's upset...what about the circus bugs? Without flik they wouldn't be where they are today, and what about the colony? Because of him we no longer live in fear of the grasshoppers...but sure you're the only victim...
Atta: ok so maybe I'm not the only one...but we were supposed to raise something beautiful together and now we can't
Dot: it can still be beautiful...
Atta: (doesn't answer)
Dot: do you wanna be alone?
Atta: (no answer) I
Dot: I'll take that as a yes (she flies away)
(The second dot left, Atta started to cry again. It had only been a day, but she didn't know if she was gonna get over this. She put a hand on her stomach...the baby kicked...he would never know if it was a boy or girl...they would never have adventures with their child, they would never grow old together. The child would never know how great their father was. Atta looked out into the water...she then flew to the top of the hill this spot also held a memory...a good memory.
(Flashback)
(Flik, Atta, and Dot were waving to the circus bugs as they left and then when they disappeared into the distance, dot headed back to show off her princess crown to the blueberry scouts. Atta and Flik just walked back, taking their time, hand and hand.
Atta: you did it
Flik: no Atta we did it
Atta: oh please I didn't do anything...if anything it's my fault...I banished you...I'm really sorry I did that to you flik...
Filk: don't say that...it's ok...I'm just glad you and the Colony are safe
Atta: that plan was very smart...and brave...I mean you put yourself in danger for me...I don't deserve this crown
Filk: you deserve this and much more! Do I have to give you the seed lecture?
Atta: (laughs) seed?
Filk: ah nothing, the point is...you saved me that night...you know
Atta: well...I wasn't gonna let hopper just take you was I?
Filk: I love you Atta...
Atta: wha-what?
Filk: I said I love you Atta...more than anything in this world...you could've picked anyone to be your mate...and you picked me..
Atta: because your a hero to our colony...and a great inventor...I'm sorry I never appreciated them back then...
Filk: well what's important is...we're finally free..we can do whatever we desire
Atta: you know what filk?
Filk: (smiles) what?
Atta: I love you too
(They both stared into each other's eyes what seemed like forever before they slowly leaned in and shared their first kiss. It was magical...it was both of their first kiss and nothing felt anything amazing.)
(End of flashback)
Atta: oh Flik...I wish I could kiss you one more time
