Lucas lead Hova, Kreela, and Fugax to the front steps of his house. Hova gave Lucas a ride on her back as she and the others climbed the step. They reached the top and Lucas jumped off Hova's back as they went under the front door. Hova, Kreela, and Fugax looked at the inside of the house in awe. Lucas smiled at his friends awe and thought it was kind of funny since Hova and the others were the first real friends he ever invited to his home. The little group soon came across it's first big challenge. The carpet. It's looked like a miniature forest an ant could easily get lost in. Lucas examined the carpet and then he cast his eyes upwards to a table with a flower on it and got an idea. The ants climbed up onto the table and they each grabbed a flower petal. Lucas then explained that they could use the flower petals and the wind produced by the fans set up by his grandma to glide all the way to the kitchen. The others were a bit reluctant with the plan, but Hova said she trusted Lucas and had faith in his plan.
"Thank your craziness grandma." Thought Lucas as he jumped off the table and was picked up by the wind of the fan.
The other ants followed along and soon they were gliding through the living room and heading towards the kitchen. Lucas gave his friends a little tour as they flew. Fugax eyes landed on a family photo and asked who the queen was of the family.
"My big sister Tiffany thinks she's the queen and acts like it." Joked Lucas.
Lucas's eyes then landed on a picture of his mother and he began to feel sad. He tried to cry, but nothing came out of his eyes, but a sad expression did appear on his face and Hova noticed that.
"Don't be sad Lucas, you'll be a human again and return your normal size real soon and then he can see your mom again. You keep helping the colony and you'll be home in no time." Said Hova.
"Thanks Hova." Said Lucas with a smile as he cheered up.
Lucas thought about telling Hova why they were really here, but he didn't to alarm or upset her. The group soon reached the kitchen and landed on the counter. The little party were in shock to find a box of open jellybeans on the counter. Fugax and Kreela went to work rolling the jellybeans to the edge of the counter as they got into an argument over when color was the best flavor. Lucas saw the house phone laying on the counter and his glasses not too far away pointed at the fridge, where Stan's business card was pinned on. It seemed luck was on Lucas's side. Lucas looked through his glasses to get a better of the number and then he climbed onto the phone and began jumping on the numbers. It was a bit hard since Lucas was small, but he was determined to dial the number and call off the order. Lucas hit the buttons and a voice began to speak through the phone.
"Hello?"
The voice didn't sound like Stan, so it must have been one of Stan's employees.
Lucas hopped to the other end of the phone and yelled into it as loud as he could, while Hova watched him.
"This is Lucas Nickle! I called to cancel my order!"
What Lucas didn't know was that he called a pizza burger place instead of Stan.
"Cancel?" Asked the voice.
"Yes!" Shouted Lucas.
Lucas then ended the phone call satisfied that he had called Stan off and saved the colony. The phone then rang and Tiffany came into the kitchen.
"Hide!" Yelled Lucas as he hopped off the phone.
Hova and Kreela followed Lucas to the phone receiver, while Fugax continued to roll a jellybean. Tiffany picked up the phone and answered it.
"Tiff speaking. Oh hey mom, I'm doing good. Lucas is just being a pest playing a stupid video game in his room. Ok. Ok. I'm hugging the phone too. Goodbye." Said Tiffany before she hung up.
Tiffany then looked down and noticed Fugax. Fugax looked up and waved at Tiffany, who screamed in disgust and brought the phone smashing down at the ant. Fugax screamed and ran managing to avoid a few smashes. At one point the phone did smash down on Fugax seemly crushing him, but he ended up going through one of the speaker holes and survived. Lucas and the others took off running from Tiffany's attack and they made their way to the sink and jumped down the drain, just as Grandma took the phone away from Tiffany and told her to stop because she might hurt Lucas. Grandma then dropped her teeth in the sink drain and Tiffany went to help her get her spare as Lucas and the others escaped down the drain and towards the world outside.
