(Me: Okay... Well this is the third chapter. This chapter is going to have lots of details with it...So please review my story and thanks for liking it. Please enjoy.)
The next morning every worker ant and even the royals woke up pretty early to get the food for the grasshoppers. However, the children were still sleeping because it was too early for them, but the other needed to wake up this early to get ready. The queen looked around to see every ant working perfectly. ''Why good morning, my queen,'' said Cornelius who looked like he was in a good mood.
''Oh, hello Cornelius. How are you?,'' she asked; however, it was a bit strange for the queen because she never saw him in a good mood this early before. Why was he acting like this? ''I'm doing fine my dear. Hm.. I hope they get the rest of the fruits before 'they' show up,'' his said in a tone that scared he was a bit nervous. The queen was about to say something but when a worker called out.
''Why did the queen wanted to make a freaking talent show for.. I mean, seriously. ,'' Robbie said.(A/N: Ok remember that ant that was talking mean about Flik, well I gave him a name. Who cares! .) The other ants agree with this, of course they knew this was crazy-why would the grasshopper want some stupid talent show. ''But I think that the princess is going to be in it.,'' Mike said. (A/N: That's ant #2).
Mike was thinking of something for a minute when he shift his eyes towards the young ant Flik, who was trying to fix his invention; he let out a grin causing the other ants to look at him. ''What is?,'' one of the workers asked. He grin and began to them his plan.
However when Flik was done fixing his invention, he smile and he was about to begin to work, but somehow he felt uneasy for some strange reason... He thought of the grasshopper coming this noon, but the feeling won't go away, he just shrugged it off. ''Stop thinking of these weird feeling Flik,'' he told himself. Putting on the invention, he let the cool air touch his skin. He smile but he heard the other worker talking.. He turn to them.
''Hey guys.,'' he said.
''Oh hi. Look I know you're going to tell us to hurry before the grasshoppers come. Yeah, yeah, we get it.,'' one of the workers said. All of them began to work, Flik nodded and also began to work; however, he didn't even notice the smirks of Mike's and Robbie had.
Princess Atta flew everywhere to see the others working, of course she began to panic like always. ''Okay, girl, you need to take a deep breath and tell yourself this: the grasshoppers will come, get the food and leave. Okay,'' she said this to herself. This 'talent shoe' was making her nervous... Of course she agree to do the talent show, not for the grasshoppers but for her colony and for her family. She sigh.
The princess flew a bit further to see the ants working quickly as possible, the poor things. She landed gently onto a left, looking around she saw her mother talking to a servant; however, she didn't want to eavesdropping on them, but she just wanted to hear what they were saying. Carefully, she flew near them..
''So are your saying...,'' it was her mother's voice.
''I just really don't know if we have enough food for the grasshoppers , my lady. But of course you're going to audience to them.'' The princess couldn't see what was happening but only she just heard was, ''okay'', she move a bit closer to her mother talking to Cornelius. The princess was getting worried about this, she was about to run but thought of it for a second. No. She couldn't run away from this.
Taking a deep breath and trying to relax herself she walked up from her hiding space. ''Oh Atta, we're about to sent a servant to come get you.,'' Cornelius said. Princess Atta smiled him and gave him a gentle look, of course he understood that the princess wanted to be alone with her mother to discussion this her.
When he left, she looked at her mother. ''Mother, what's going on I'm so confused...''
The queen sigh. ''Atta, dear, it's nothing. We're handle, Like I said before, the grasshoppers are just going to take the food and stay for a bit to see the talent show and leave,'' she said with a smile. Of course the princess was getting nervous again she couldn't but smile at her mother. ''Umm...ok, mother. Should I wake up Dot.,'' she asked.
''Not yet, dear. Go relax for a bit and I'll take of things from here,'' said the queen.
''Okay, sure.'' She said before going off.
While the others were stilling working and the two older royal trying to think of a plan for the talent show, no one notice a small little girl. (A/N: Like I said before, they are going to half-humans and half-ants.) Princess Dot was trying to practice to fly higher, she tired and tired but couldn't get it right. ''Ouch! Watch where you're going, Flik.,'' said a worker ant near-by. Dot had a grin on her tiny face. She ran to find her friend and idol Flik.
''Seriously, kid, watch where you're going,'' the same ant said. ''Sorry..,'' his voice was low, he don't know why but today every ant was picking or just being mean today. Usually, they just leave him alone. But Flik shrugged it off, he didn't want to be sad for something so silly like that, he was about to pick one of the fruits in till he heard a voice. ''...lk...'' Flik looked around to see no one there. ''Huh. That was a bit weird,'' he said
''Flik!'' said the same voice. He turn to see a little girl; running towards him, then he smile and wave to see a happy face of Princess Dot.
''Hey there, Dot,'' he said showing her his dorky but cute smile. She let out a giggled. Even though she was just a child, she had a tiny crush on him, she hid it well actually.
''Watcha up too, Flik.''
''Getting the fruits for the grasshopper. Hopefully they will come late.'' He pause to see some ants were still working while some others were relaxing. ''Hm.. Are you going to perform in the talent show, Dot?,'' he said before they started to walk.
Dot grin at him and said, '' Yup we have to because my teacher said-,'' but she couldn't finished her sentence because they heard the horn.
''Mother! Mother!,'' Atta yelled, trying to find her mother. Every ant was trying to hurry and some of them were screaming; she flew to the sky to find her mother quick. Spotting her she flew to her. ''Mom!,'' Atta said in a scared tone. ''Mother they are here! They are here! They are, mother!,'' she said while shifting her eyes to see if her younger was in the screaming crowd.
''Mother!'' The old Queen nodded to show she was aware, saying, "I know, dear!" She then turned and whistled very loudly, gaining the attention of most of the nearby workers; those beyond them also skidded to a halt, noticing their brethren had stopped. "Drop everything you're doing!" she yelled as loudly as her aged voice would allow. "All food goes into one pile, and all sticks and building stones go into another! Keep your ears open and move!''
Instantly the ants sprang to life; to one side of the Queen the workers began to drop their grains and berries in a pile, the others following suit to her opposite side, where small leaves, sticks, and rocks were dropped into another. This served no purpose other than to free the ants' hands so they could concentrate on what their queen was saying.
'' My queen,'' one of the servants came to her. ''The others are in the field...I don't if they heard.,'' she said. ''Go hurry and find them, now.,'' her voice was loud but her eyes were gentle; the servant ran to get the other, while the others were doing the thing that the queen told them to do.
''Atta...''
''Yes mother...''
''Go and find the children.,'' she said in a gentle tone.
''Of course I'll find them and I'll hurry., ''Quickly going to the sky. While she flew away, the queen look at her colony of ants and pry for the best.
They ran as fast as they could; ants rushing to the ant hole of safely , Flik and Dot ran to catch up with the others. ''Come on, Flik, hurry..,'' Princess Dot voice started to fill with worry. The young boy knew this was not going to work out, he carry the young girl. ''What-.'' Flik gave her a smile. ''It will be faster.'' They ran.
Princess Atta, still looking for the her sister, she flew down. ''Dot! Dot!,'' she yelled into the crowd. Nervously she looked around to see no sight of her sister. ''Go! Go!,'' she ordered the others to head inside. ''Atta! Princess Atta!,'' said a familiar voice. Atta turn to see Flik carrying her sister in his arms. The older princess let out a sigh of relief thanking the lord that Dot was safe.
Flik put her down and she ran to her sister, he was about to enter the anthill when he notice that he forgot his invention! ''Oh no...,'' he thought turning away from the anthill and heading to the fields. ''What the hell are you doing back here, Flik, we need to move!,'' Mike said.
''I need to get-''
''No we need to head back before the grasshoppers kill us!,'' he dragged Flik with him. Even though he thought Flik was a 'punk' they were a colony and he knew the rules. 'No ant gets behind'.
Xx
They finally reached the anthill and Atta shouted to hurry, they hurried and enter before she flew inside. Quickly they stood; Atta walked up to her mother who was nervous as she was. Flik was in the back. He walked a bit forward but ants were in the way, he looked nervous too but just a bit.
The colony stood even quieter; however the queen knew this was just only the begin. ''Please let them get the food, we perform a talent show for them and they leave us alone...,'' she thought quietly to herself. However Princess Atta saw how worried her mother looked, she was about to give her hug but then they heard the buzzing grew to a deafening tone, causing the ants to flinch and grow quiet. Several large shadows swept over the ground around them, and brown figures blotted the sun into and out of view.
They all gasp just only seeing the other grasshoppers, but Hopper came last, jumping down. The ants were terrified of him; he stood up and place a hand though his hair. (A/N: Remember there are humans-half and half-insect.) Looking at the ants, he let out a deadly smirk and said, ''Good morning.''
(Me: I know that was a bit then I thought it will be. ^.^ Sorry if I took away it's because I was busy with school and other stuff that I do. And I know usually they will talk about the talent show, but in this chapter I just wanted to make it epic! I know the ending was like...ugh...But oh well. :) And also please enjoy my story. And Mike and Robbie are going to do something mean to Flik in the other chapters...So please patient. ^.^)
