"AAAHHHH!" snarled a voice at the circus. It was Francis. He was teased by the audience for being called a girly bug.

"What? Hate being called that, girl?!" A fly said meanly.

"Why, YES, stupid! I am gonna knock you dead!" Francis shouted.

"Well, take your best shot, then!" The other fly insisted.

"Oh, that, is, SO it!" P.T Flea shouted, and he went backstage.

"Francis, just leave them alone!" Heimlich pleaded.

"Really, Francis..." Slim groaned in an annoyance as he left Heimlich to stop Francis from yelling a lot.

"Oh, shut up, fly boy! I am gonna rip the hairs out of your head ONE BY ONE!" Francis yelled.

"Oh, YEAH?!" the fly shouted back.

"Come on, Francis," Slim said as he began to talk to the flies.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's just that Francis has anger issues, and there's no way to speak to a lady.

"I heard that, you twig!" Francis shot back.

Slim carried Francis sternly as Heimlich followed them.

"You fly boys will be dead for this, you stupid idiots!" Francis screamed as the three went backstage.

The flies just frowned.

"All, right, friend, let's go back," The fly said and then some of them flew away.

"Yeah, this sucks," The other fly agreed.

"What a disappointment!" The third fly agreed as well.

"No! You can't leave!" P.T Flea cried, but the flies kept flying away.

"Oh, God, I am losing audience. I need to have a serious talk with these clowns," he muttered to himself as he went backstage.

"You three, what on earth is wrong with you?!" P.T Flea yelled at Slim Francis and Heimlich,

"Uh, sorry, P.T, it's just that Francis is teased by the audience," Heimlich said.

"Oh? What's the reason?!" P.T Flea asked.

"He's being called a lady," Slim insisted, trying to comfort Francis from being angry.

"Yeah, these flies are ingrates to me and Gypsy," Manny said.

Gypsy nodded her head in agreement.

Just then, Rosie, holding the whip in her hand, with a disappointed expression came and said,

"These flies REALLY are driving us crazy."

Dim followed her. He was crying; his foot was hit.

P.T Flea and the other circus bugs turned to Dim and Rosie.

"I knew it," Francis growled angrily, as if to agree with Rosie, who was now comforting Dim by putting the bandage on his foot.

"How does it feel, Dim," she asked as she smoothed his aided foot.

Dim, whimpering, with tears from his eyes, said,

"I think it's better."

Then, he and Rosie went next to Tuck and Roll, who were next to Manny and Gypsy.

P.T Flea turned to all of the circus bugs with frown in his face.

"As for you three, do your best act or you're fired! Understand?" he asked.

The circus bugs nodded, and they left the tent, to go home.

Later in the evening...

The circus bugs were in their rooms, getting ready for bed. Francis, sitting on the bed, was panting heavily, as if to stop his anger.

"All right, Francis, take a deep breath, in and out," Slim said kindly.

Francis took a deep breath, and calmly said,

"Slim, Heimlich, I'm sorry... I couldn't control myself. Will you mind forgiving me?"

"Don't worry, Francis. We still forgive you," Heimlich said.

"He's right, even if your look automatically makes you a girl, even if you're a male," Slim said.

Francis smiled as he said,

"Thanks, guys."

Then, he hugged Slim and Heimlich. They hugged him back.

And a couple minutes later, the three slept on their bed, hoping that their act will be perfect than today's.

Francis just smiled as he slept next to Slim and Heimlich, knowing that he will never lose his temper just because the audience did this to him. All he needs to do is to just let it go.
