Here is the next chapter. Enjoy!


Wednesday came by and Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt were getting ready for Jackson's funeral.

"This is going to be sad,guys." Molt said.

"I know,Molt." Hopper agreed, "But it'll be over soon."

"I don't like funerals. They're too. . .emo." Tessa said.

"Hopper,Molt,Tessa,are you ready to go?" Clover asked. "Do you three need to go to the bathroom or something?"

"We already went." Hopper said.

"I don't need to go." Tessa said.

"Actually,I need to go to the bathroom." Molt interrupted.

"Okay." Clover said.

Molt hurried to the bathroom.

Clover, Hopper,and Tessa waited for a few minutes until Molt came out.

"Okay,so are we ready to go?" Clover questioned.

"Yeah." Hopper,Tessa, and Molt said at the same time.

"Okay,lets go." Clover said as she and her two sons and daughter flew outside.

The funeral took place in the grassfield and lots of Jackson's relatives,family, friends,and random bugs came to his funeral.

When Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt were finally at the grassfield,they saw Jackson in a small cardboard box casket with eyes closed. Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt greeted their relatives and Teresa and her daughters and son walked up to Clover and her sons and daughter and greeted them.

"Hi,you must be Clover." Teresa said then to Hopper and Molt she said, "and these must be your sons,Hopper and Molt!" Teresa pinched their cheeks, "Gosh,aren't they cute? Hopper,Molt your father has told me so much about you two."

"Okay,good to know." Hopper said.

"And Tessa!" Teresa said. "You must be Hopper and Molt's sister---nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too." Tessa said.

"Which one of you is Hopper and Molt?" Teresa asked the boys.

"I'm Hopper,the oldest and smart one." The tall grasshopper nymph said.

"I'm Molt,the youngest and dumb one." The short grasshopper nymph said.

"You must be our step mom." Molt said.

"Yes I am." Teresa said.

"And you must be Teresa." Clover said.

"Mmm-hmm." Teresa nodded then said, "Tiffany!Daffodil!Dustin! Get over here!"

Tiffany, Daffodil,and Dustin came over and they looked at Hopper,Tessa, and Molt and scowled at them.

Tiffany was the older sister,her skin was yellowish-brown and she had green emerald eyes,and Daffodil was the younger sister,like Tiffany,her skin was yellowish-brown,but she had pale blue eyes,and Dustin was the middle child and he,too had yellowish-brown skin and he had the same color eyes as Tiffany.

"These are my daughters." Teresa said to Clover. "And your stepsisters and stepbrother,Tiffany, Daffodil,and Dustin." She said to Hopper,Tessa, and Molt.

"Hi." Hopper,Tessa, and Molt said at the same time to Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil.

"Hi." Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil said at the same time to Hopper,Tessa, and Molt.

"Now kids,be nice to your stepbrothers and stepsister while we're here,do you three understand?" Teresa said sternly.

"Yes,mother." Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil said at the same time as they hugged Hopper,Tessa, and Molt,but Hopper,Tessa, and Molt didn't hug back.

"Great." and Molt said dully.

"kids,you be nice to your stepsisters,okay?" Clover said sternly.

"Yes,ma." Hopper,Tessa,and Molt said at once.

"Don't worry,mom." Tiffany pretended to assure her mother, "Daffodil,Dustin, and I are going to treat Hopper and Molt like they're our real brothers,right Daffi and Dustin??"

"Yes,Tiff." Daffodil and Dustin said,pretending to assure their mother, "We'll treat Hopper,Tessa, and Molt as though we're related."

While Teresa and Clover talked to each other about Jackson, Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil whispered to each other about their stepbrothers and stepsister.

"What happened to Hopper's eye?" Tiffany whispered.

"I don't know and Molt is a stupid name for Hopper's little brother,but I guess it suits him because he has a shedding problem." Daffodil whispered back.

"Don't forget that Tessa is weird." Dustin whispered.

"Hi Daffodil,Tiffany,Dustin." Molt greeted his stepsisters and stepbrother, "it's nice to meet you."

Daffodil scoffed, "Yeah,well it's not nice meeting you,skin peeler." Daffodil,Dustin, and Tiffany laughed. Molt started to cry.

"Hey! You leave my brother alone! Nobody makes fun of him,but me." Hopper said.

"And me!" Tessa said

"Look whose talking,bad eye!" Tiffany insulted Hopper.

"SHUT UP!" Hopper said angrily.

Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil were shocked.

"What was that?" Tiffany asked Hopper.

"You heard me." Hopper said.

"He told us to shut up." Daffodil said to her sister.

"I heard what he said!" Tiffany said impatiently.

"Then why did you ask?" Daffodil questioned.

"Because no one has told me to shut up before." Tiffany answered.

Molt took bits of his skin off and threw it at his stepsisters.

"EWW!" Daffodil,Dustin and Tiffany said at the same time then to Molt they said, "You're disgusting!"

"I don't care." Molt smirked.

"We got new names for you girls." Hopper announced, "Molt,lets say them."

Then at the same time Hopper and Molt said, "Daffodork and Tiffmeanie."

"And Dustin I'm going to call you Dirtstin." Tessa smirked.

Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil raged at Hopper,Molt,and Tessa and they lunged at them and attacked them. Hopper pushed Tiffany off and he shoved her and Molt kicked Tiffany off of him and slapped her,Dustin leaped on Tessa and attacked her,but Tessa hit Dustin---hard. The Daffodil,Tiffany,and Dustin attacked their stepbrothers and stepsister;Hopper,Tessa, and Molt helped each other and Tiffany,Dustin and Daffodil helped each other. They kept on fighting until someone pulled them off of each other.

Clover pulled Hopper,Tessa, and Molt off of Daffodil,Dustin, and Tiffany and Teresa pulled Daffodil,Dustin, and Tiffany off of Hopper,Tessa, and Molt.

"Hopper,Molt,Tessa!" Clover said angrily and sternly.

"Tiffany,Daffodil,Dustin!" Teresa said angrily and sternly.

"I can't turn my back on you three for ten minutes and all of a sudden, you fight your stepsiblings!" Clover said to her sons and daughter angrily.

"I am ashamed of you three!" Teresa said to her daughters and son angrily.

"Hopper,Tessa, and Molt,apologize to your stepsiblings!" Clover commanded.

"Tiffany,Daffodil,Dustin,apologize to your stepsiblings!" Teresa commanded.

"But,they started it!" Hopper,Tessa, and Molt and Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil said at the same time.

"I don't care who started it." Teresa and Clover said at the same time.

"Sorry." Hopper,Molt,Tessa,Tiffany,Dustin,and Daffodil said at the same time to each other dully.

Clover sighed, "Come on Hopper,Molt,Tessa lets take our seats,the funeral is about to start."

"Tiffany,Daffodil,Dustin,,Dyou too." Teresa said.

Tiffanyustin, and Daffodil stuck their tongues out at their stepbrothers and stepsister while Hopper,Tessa, and Molt glared at their stepsisters and stepbrother.

Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt took their seats and Daffodil took a seat next to Hopper with Tiffany sitting by her and Teresa sitting next to Tiffany and Dustin sitting next to Teresa.

Hopper looked at Molt, "Switch seats with me." Hopper whispered.

"Hmm,let me think. . .no!" Molt said.

"But Daffodork is sitting next to me." Hopper whispered.

"Get over it." Molt whispered. Hopper sighed helplessly

The preacher cleared his throat and said, "We're all gathered here today to pay our last respects to Jackson. Jackson was a good grasshopper that was killed by bug spray and he died shortly after that. Jackson will always be remembered in our hearts."

The preacher kept on going with his speech and said the life of Jackson (I'm too lazy to do it).

When the funeral was over,Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt got up and said goodbye to Jackson. And Teresa,Tiffany,Dustin,and Daffodil said goodbye to Jackson too.

"Come on,Hopper,Molt,Tessa lets go home." Clover said.

"Come on,Tiffany,Daffodil,Dustin, lets go." Teresa said.

"Bye Hopper,bye Tessa,bye Molt." Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil said 'sweetly'.

"Bye." The brothers and sister said dully.

Clover took her sons' and daughter's hands and left. Hopper,Tessa, and Molt gave their stepsisters and stepbrother a hate-filled look and Tiffany,Dustin, and Daffodil stuck their tongue out at their stepbrothers and stepsister when their mother wasn't looking.

"Looks like we have bratty stepsisters and a jerk of a stepbrother,Molt and Tessa." Hopper whispered.

"Don't forget they're mean." Molt whispered back.

"And idiotic." Tessa added.
