The next few days, Flik Jr. and Filia helped out around the circus, partially as punishment for running off. When they went outside to let in customers, the chameleon was there, scaring the flies and other bugs.

"Don't be scared, he's harmless…" Jr reassured and ushered them quickly inside.

"Don't you think it's strange that a chameleon is going to be following us around…" Filia whispered to the blue ant

Then they heard the loud music of the city and the chameleon ran off whining."

"I think being near the city makes him crazy…" Jr pointed out

"Poor fellow…" Filia added sympathetically.

"Come one come all to P.T. Flea's circus…" the two children announced, letting everyone inside of the large tent.


After the show, Rosie, Francis and Slim were cleaning up the tent when they heard giggling from Flik Jr. and Filia.

"And then the blue jay scooped up my brother and had him halfway down his throat…"

"Oh my…" Filia gasped.

"Then what happened…" Jr asked. Then the 3 insects silently peeked in seeing that Molt was telling the kids a story.

"Hopper was kicking and screaming and I was scared..and I wasn't going near there...and all of a sudden...He just blasted right out of its mouth."

Jr. gasped and clung onto Filia, holding Buddy.

"And then he had a bleeding eye and he was blind…" Rosie interrupted. All 3 of them turned to the 3 bugs. "Trust me Molt told us this story too."

"W-Wait...What happened to the blue jay…" Jr. asked.

"Oh well um see what happened...Um…" Molt stuttered. "I don't know...it just disappeared…"

"I guess now we know how to be careful with birds…" Rosie told them

"And chameleons...Your buddy has been out there all day…" P.T. hopped in. "Scaring my customers…"

"He's just lonely...being near the city drives him crazy...Maybe he can live near Ant Island…"

"Are you mad...What would your mother say…" Slim said aghast.

"You're starting to sound like Mr. Thorny and Mr. Soil…He'll be fine...He can get away from the city for a while...and...Maybe he can help us with the grasshoppers…"

The circus bugs exchange glances and slowly nod. Then they continued cleaning up


Meanwhile back at Ant Island, everyone was preparing a bunch of battle stations and some leaf tents. Queen Atta walked about to see if everything was set.

"Are your stations ready…." Queen Atta asked

"Yes, my queen but are you sure it isn't too drastic?" Mr. Soil asked her.

"As drastic as this sounds, If the grasshoppers want a fight, then we need to be ready...Who knows when they'll strike…" Atta responded. Then Thorny approached her

"I know you miss your son but this is crazy...What if that mad grasshopper brings in more bugs…"

"Don't worry Thorny, We have Flik's inventions and our numbers...They won't stand a chance…" then Flik raced over to the ants

"Everything's set and ready…" then a droning buzz came in and everyone froze in their tracks.

"In positions everyone…" then Flik and Atta tried to race back to the anthill but the madam landed right in front of them

"Where do you think you're going?" She grabbed them both and the rest of the grasshoppers downed on the rest of the ants to attack. The ants got into positions and began to launch the leafy makeshift cannons filled with seeds. Meanwhile, Skipper, Skeeter, and Bucky witnessed Flik and Atta's abduction and went into a group huddle

"We gotta get Jr. back home…" Skipper told them

"Agreed…" then when the ants and grasshoppers weren't looking, Skipper and Skeeter flew away carrying Bucky with them.


Meanwhile back at the circus at night, Flik Jr. and Filia decided to play with the chameleon outside, trying their best to keep him company. The chameleon flicked its tongue at the two children and they were trying to dodge it.

"You can't catch me…" Flik Jr. teased

Filia was slightly faster than Jr. because of her wings but she let him win a few times

"Okay- Woah chameleon…" P.T Flea yelled about to get the matches.

"No PT, he's good, he won't eat you, will you Mr. chameleon" Jr turned to the scaly creature who shook his head no. "See?"

"Ugh, we gotta get that thing outta here…"

"He'll go to Ant Island with us…I'll ask Mommy and Daddy if he can live across from the island…"

"Forget it, kid, he's dangerous…He's a predator…" P.T yelled before taking off. The two children sadly turned to the lizard who just lied down in sadness

"If we leave, you can come with us…" The small blue ant told the chameleon, making it perk up

"Yes…but just sneak quietly…" Filia added. The chameleon agreed with this plan and went to the grass to fall asleep. The children returned to the tent too.


Then the next morning, a scream woke up Jr. and he rushed outside.

"Don't let it eat me, don't let it eat me…" a voice screeched.

"I know that voice…" then He rushed outside and saw three ants battling it out

"Get my slingshot ready, Skeeter…"

"Wait...Stop, those are my friends…" Jr. yelled. Then the chameleon stopped and turned to Jr. The three ants tumbled down and collapsed on the ground while the small ant raced to them

"What are you guys doing here...I thought a birdie would eat you…" Jr yelled. The rest of the circus bugs ran out hearing the commotion

"Ugh thank goodness we found you...the grasshoppers came back…" Skipper started

"And there's a war going on…" Bucky continued.

"And that lady grasshopper took your parents...and took over the island" everyone was astonished, even the chameleon.

"We have to go back…" Jr. turned to the circus bugs

"Are you crazy...With a war going on, we'll be killed…" Francis objected

"But wait, You guys helped before...Why can't you help now…" Filia backed up her best friend

"Yeah...My mommy and Daddy are in trouble...Please help them…" Jr was on the brink of tears

"Oh, poor baby…" Rosie ran towards Jr. and embraced him. "Guys, let's go back, for Jr's and the ant's sake…"

"Yah, let's fight the war…" Heimlich added.

Then the rest of the circus bugs cheered and went along with Rosie. Then they all took off in flight. Then Skeeter looked down and saw the chameleon.

"Uh guys, I hate to scare you but that chameleon is following us…" She pointed

"That was the kid's idea…" Francis pointed a thumb to Jr. who paid no attention and just looked ahead at the green scenery ahead of them.

"Please...please, please...I hope I'm not too late...Please let mommy and Daddy be okay…" Jr. whispered to himself

"Sweetheart please, your parents are going to be fine…" Rosie reassured him

"I hope so…" Jr said sadly.
