Link

Link had been left alone in the abandoned Starship by Eileen, but it was okay, he liked having time to himself. Link was the kind of secluded individual that would not be caught dead with a large crowd of people. He enjoyed reading and writing fantasy and about worlds beyond Bug World. He also secretly loved to sing; he got it from his father. Link looked much like his father Bug when he was a human, with Dark wavy hair that collected in perfect locks, his pale complexion, and crooked smile, the only difference was he didn't have his father's dark brown eyes, but he had his mother's soft blue eyes.

"Link sweetie, we need to go home," February called from outside of the Starship.

"Alright Mom, coming!"

Link ran out of the abandoned Starship to see his mother waiting for him. She gave him a hug and they started walking back to their home.

"So did you have a good time with Eileen today?" February asked as she walked with her son.

Link blushed at the sound of Eileen's name, "Yep!"

"Well that's good, you can tell your dad all about it when we get home," February exclaimed.

They walked together for 10 minutes until they came about to a cozy little nest on the outskirts of the main Hive. As they entered the house, Bug embraced hem both hugging Link and kissing February. They all sat down at their table and began talking about Link's visit.

"So Link," Bug started, "How was your date with Eileen?"

Link flushed red, "DAD! It wasn't a date… me and Eileen just hung out together. We did some roleplaying to get ready for Starship Training tomorrow. I was the Lieutenant, and she was the Commander."

"Why was she the Commander…?" February asked curiously.

"Because she's older than me, but not by much; just 3 months. But it's not really fair because I should be the Commander since I'm a guy," Link mumbled.

"Well you know Link, gender doesn't really matter…," Bug explained, "It's like I told and old friend once; the one of the most viscous creatures on Bug World is a giant mother spider protecting her young. And hey, did you know female scorpions are bigger, more aggressive, and live longer than males? And we can't forget the most infamous and feared female creature to walk on the face of this planet… Your Aunt Taz!"

Link laughed at the thought of Taz being the most feared female in Bug World, though it was probably true. Even though she wasn't his blood Aunt, Taz still helped deliver him, care for him, and teach him all about being a Starship Ranger.

"Yeah your probably right dad, as usual," Link said getting up from the table.

He kissed his mother on the cheek and hugged his dad as he said goodnight, and headed to his room. He changed out of his Ranger outfit and put on some flannel pajamas pants and laid on his bed. He rolled on to his back to look up at his celling, thinking about so many things; Eileen, Ranger Training, seeing Taz again, and all of the new recruits. Slowly, Link drifted off to sleep, dreaming about the first day of Starship Ranger Training.
