Alright,here we go,on with the story


The ants and grasshoppers were thinking of a scary story to tell the dragonflies so they can leave them alone and not come back to Ant Island ever again. It's been two and a half months since the dragonflies were torturing the ants and grasshoppers. Well,on the bright side;Hopper and Shelby were expecting another grasshopper nymph to be born.

"Dad,where do babies come from?" Bouncer and Lilly questioned one day.

Hopper looked at his son and daughter,not saying anything,but thinking of how to say it.

"Um,your mother will be mad if I told you two where babies come from." Hopper said.

"Please." Lilly begged.

Hopper sighed, "Okay,I'll tell you, you know how mother nature creates something?"

"Yes." Bouncer said.

"Well,see babies come from heaven." Hopper said.

"You really don't know,do you?" Bouncer said.

"Why don't I tell you two-- when you're older." Hopper said.

Bouncer and Lilly sighed sadly.

"So,what scary story are we going to tell the dragonflies?" Lilly questioned.

"Yeah,and what will happen to them that will scare them away?" Bouncer added.

"We're going to take either slippery,sharp,or some kind of sticks that will make them trip and fell then we attack them." Hopper said.

Shelby walked in the room and said, "so, are you three coming up with scary story ideas?"

"Yes." Hopper replied.

"Okay." Shelby said. "So what is the scary story plan?"

"We just include sound effects and any other objects that we can find around here to scare them away." Hopper said.

"Like what?" A voice said.

The four grasshoppers turned and they saw Flik,Atta,Sally,Daniel,Molt,Ellen,Caster, Amanda,Carson,Lisa,Rose,Justin,Harper,and Sheldon coming in the room.

"Just anything we could find." Hopper shrugged, "that's all."

"We could get a tasmanian devil." Molt suggested.

"We're not in Austrailia,bro." Hopper said,shaking his head.

"You know I'm not good at geometry!" Molt said.

Hopper stunned, "right." He said slowly.

"And you're not good at vocabulary either." Carson scoffed.

"Carson,not in front of the kids." Lisa whispered,noticing the kids looking at Carson.

"Right,sorry." Carson said.

"Look,we just need a scary animal that lives here." Shelby said.

"We could get an eagle." Flik said then he remembered, "Oh, wait, they're endangered-- never mind."

"And I'm scared of birds." Hopper included.

"We could dress up as bears and scare dragonflies away." Bouncer said.

"Wait,do bears eat dragonflies?" Lilly asked.

Daniel rolled his eyes,for the ideas were came up with something in his head then said, "Why don't we use snakes? Snakes eat dragonflies."

"Oh yeah,why didn't I think of that?" Sally questioned.

"Because you're stupid." Daniel said to his sister.

"What!?"

"Never mind."

Sally sneered at her brother.

"Daniel,it's not polite to call someone stupid." Atta said.

"So anyway," Hopper started, "we could dress up as snakes for props and for sound effects;we can make growling and hissing noises."

"How do we make the snakes?" Caster asked.

"I think we get some socks from the junkyard and--" Amanda started.

"No way I'm going to wear smelly socks!" Caster frowned.

"Don't be such a baby." Amanda sighed.

"I'm not a baby!" Caster retorted.

"Caster,sweetie,it's part of the plan." Ellen said.

"But mom,I don't want to get dirty and smelly." Caster said.

"We'll spray air freshener--how about that?" Ellen asked.

"Okay." Caster said.

"Who is going to the junk yard?" Atta said.

None of them spoke,Hopper,Molt,Carson,and Flik said at the same time, "we'll do it."

"Okay." Atta replied. "but,do it after sunset and before dark because humans don't go out at that time in the junk yard."
