Rosie and Dim's Past

It was a rainy day in the city of Bugdom. There stood all of the widow spiders.

Joanna, with her three 6-year-old kids Josie, Reginald, and even an original black widow named Rosie, were heartbroken for Conrad, who used to be her husband and the kids' father.

The funeral was held at this time. Joanna felt emotional while making her goodbyes to her husband; her children are feeling the same way.


Years went by, Joanna's kids were becoming adults. Rosie was out front playing gracefully, but she noticed a male brown widow walking around the town.

"Hi!" Rosie called.

The male brown widow turned and replied,

"Oh, hey!"

"Oh, I have to admit you look handsome," Rosie chimed in as she flirted.

"Do I?" the brown widow asked as he flirted as well.

"Yep! I'm Rosie by the way. What's your name?" Rosie said.

"Monarch," the brown widow replied.

Rosie smiled, and told her family.

"Mom, can me and Monarch go on a date, please?" she asked.

Joanna chuckled and replied,

"Yes, sweetheart. Be back by dinner!"

"Love you, mom!" Rosie called out as she grabbed Monarch's hand and headed over to Bennett's Bar restaurant.

Joanna sighed, while Josie and Reginald smiled.


At the restaurant, Rosie and Monarch had spent time laughing and talking.

"So, Rosie, my lady, do tell me how many times you were married," Monarch said with a smile.

"Oh, Monarch, I was married eleven times." Rosie replied with a sweet smile.

"Now it's twelve," Monarch chuckled, and took out a jewelry box, and opened it, showing the ring to Rosie.

She squealed at the ring while seeing it sparkle, and glitter.

"Rosie, will you marry me?" he asked.

Smiling tearfully, Rosie said,

"Yes!"

Monarch smiled, and puts the ring on Rosie's finger. Then, the two spiders leaned a kiss. All the bugs watched in awe as they smiled while seeing Rosie and Monarch become husband and wife.

Once it was becoming late afternoon, Rosie and Monarch went back from their date at Bennett's Bar, and spread the news to Joanna and their family that the two would get married soon.


Much, much later…

One evening, a sky was dark for misery. The dark clouds were surrounding the sky through the fog. Rosie rushed to her house, gathered by a lot of her family members outside.

Rosie knocked on the door, and her brother, Reginald, opened it, with a sad look on his face.

"How is Monarch, is he okay?" she asked.

Reginald shook his head and said,

"I'm so sorry, Rosie, your husband's life is ending. You have to be near him with Mother and Josie right now before he leaves the world of Bugdom."

Hearing what her brother said in the sad news, Rosie began whimpering as she shedded tears. How can she lose eleven husbands, and now her twelfth husband? First, she lost her father, and now, her beloved husband.

Reginald lead Rosie into her mother's room, where Joanna and Josie was at the bedside. Monarch was wheezing very badly. He was very sick, due to illness. Rosie held Monarch's hand, squeezing it.

"Monarch, please, don't go, I need you!" she cried as tears began to fall.

Monarch coughed softly. Knowing that he would at least get to see her for the one last time, Monarch nuzzled her forehead, smoothing her cheeks with his hands. Rosie kissed him on the forehead.

"Rosie... I~ I love you..." Monarch finally said.

"I love you, too, Monarch! Oh, Monarch, please stay with me! Don't leave me; not yet," Rosie said between sobs.

Monarch used his last strength to hug and kiss Rosie at the time.

"Goodbye, dear... I love you..." he said softly.

With a final sigh, Monarch died at her gaze, laying unconscious on bed. Rosie embraced him and cried. Josie embraced her mother as she mourned the loss of her twin sister's husband's death. Joanna hugged her daughter tight in comfort, holding back tears. Reginald bowed his head in respect as he got over to Rosie, putting a hand on his sister's shoulder, in comfort.

For now, her husband, is lost.


The next day…

One beautiful, sunny day at the city of Bugdom, time passed after the day at the funeral since Monarch's death.

At Bennett's Bar, Rosie was dining with her mother, Joanna and Josie, her twin sister. Joanna and Josie had cheered up Rosie from thinking about how she lost her husband, Monarch, too much.

"Thanks, Josie, and mother," Rosie said as she wiped her tears away.

"You're welcome, baby. We'll find you an another husband," Joanna said as she soothed Rosie's hair.

"Yeah, sis! How about that idea?" Josie agreed with a smile.

Sadly, Rosie shuddered.

"What if... but what if my another husband died, like Monarch?" she asked as she tried to hold back tears.

Just then, there was a ferocious, frightful roar. The spiders turned, including the other bugs. It was a rhino beetle! Its trainer, the cockroach, was pulling the rhino beetle with his rope, and whipping at it.

"Come ON, you wild animal! Get back here!" the cockroach yelled, but the rhino beetle bucked, and roared, swinging his legs in pain.

The bugs screamed as they ran around the restaurant.

"A RHINOCEROS BEETLE!" one bug panicked.

"It's dangerous!" the other shouted.

"Oh, no! It's coming towards us! Run!" Joanna yelled, as she grabbed the hands of Josie and Rosie, and ran out of the restaurant bar.

The rhino beetle threw the cockroach from the rope he was tied by, and it ran away.

Joanna, Josie and Rosie hid quickly into their house. They saw a rhino beetle running, and stopping frightfully. Suddenly, a cockroach caught him again!

"Get over here, you SAVAGE! Listen to me!" he screamed angrily.

The rhino beetle bucked and reared as he kicked the cockroach with his hind legs. Frowning, the cockroach threw the whip to the ground, and stomped off, saying,

"This is the worst day of me training a rhinoceros beetle! I've had it; I'M GONNA BE FIRED FROM MY JOB!"

As Joanna, Josie and Rosie scooted up the window, they saw the rhino beetle whimpering. Rosie came up with a clever idea, and she walked out of the house.

"Rosie, wait!" Joanna hissed with fear.

"You can't! It's too dangerous!" Josie agreed in a whisper.

Rosie approached to the rhino beetle, who snarled, as if to know that she was about to act like his trainer, but Rosie's motherly instincts kicked in.

"It's okay, it's okay. I won't hurt you," Rosie insisted in comfort.

In a matter of seconds, the rhino beetle stopped snarling, and shaking. It went close to her, and gave Rosie a small nudge, sniffing her hand she showed it. With a smile, Rosie conjured some spider web from her bulgy abdomen, and puts them into the rhino beetle's wounds, as if to help heal them. After doing so, she sweetly said,

"Good boy. My name's Rosie; what's your name?"

Blushing, the male rhino beetle thought for a moment, and answered in a deep voice,

"Dim."

She thought for a moment with confusion, Dim closed his eyes.

"Dim, that's a nice name! I like it," Rosie said with a smile.

Then, she puts her hand on Dim's horn. Blushing again, he opened his eyes, feeling Rosie's hand touch his horn. And for now, Dim beamed a smile.

"Anyway, Dim, would you like to see my family?" Rosie asked.

Dim nodded for a moment, but said as he shook a little,

"Wha~ what if they don't like me?"

"Don't worry, Dim. It's going to be okay. I'll let them know," Rosie replied as she reassured him.

Dim nodded, and followed Rosie to Joanna and Josie.


As Rosie led Dim in the house, Joanna and Josie yelped as they held onto each other.

"Rosie! What did I tell you about the dangerous rhinoceros beetle?!" Joanna shrieked a little.

"Get that thing away from us!" Josie urged.

Dim felt startled, and began shaking as he whimpered. Rosie sadly insisted,

"Mom! Josie! You have to understand, I have to do this, and now he is tamed. I promised the rhinoceros beetle that he won't hurt us."

Joanna and Josie thought for a moment, as Rosie sighed heavily, reassuring Dim.

"Okay, so what did you name him after that?" Josie asked.

"Oh, his name is Dim," Rosie responded sweetly.

"Right, so his name means bright, right?" Joanna asked.

"That's correct, mother. It oppositely means that, but even if its actual meaning is dark, though," Rosie said,

"So, can he stay with us?"

Joanna and Josie smiled at that question Rosie asked, and nodded.

"Sure, thing, sweetheart!" Joanna said.

"How lovely is that idea," Josie said happily.

Rosie squealed happily, and Dim chuckled as they embraced each other. It felt like a bliss, and romance.


Dim and Rosie tucked in their rooms for the night.

"It'll be fine, Dim. You are going to be my adopted son," Rosie added.

Dim shyly blushed, and spoke deeply to Rosie,

"…Mom?"

"Yes! I am your adoptive mother. And I will protect you at all times," Rosie responded in a motherly tone.

Smiling, Dim blushed red as he nudged his adoptive mother, saying,

"Thank you, mom."

Rosie felt awed and petted Dim back.

Then, Dim and Rosie fell right to sleep; Rosie was smoothing Dim's foot and even his leg with passion. Dim slept deeply as he felt the smoothness coming from his adoptive mother, and he nudged her with passion as his sonly instincts kick in.
