(Me: Okay...Well the other chapter took me a while to finish up. Lol, ok well, here is the other chapter that I promise you all; however, at this point of the story Atta DOES NOT HATE Filk, she is just mad at him but gets over .)
The room was quiet, all the ants couldn't believe what Flik have done, of course they were a bit happy that no one got hurt; however, they won't happy about this at all.
The queen gently put her daughter down , who was also silent, she knew that she didn't want to hurt the young ant. He was only trying to protect the colony, right?
However the queen was about to speak to the young ant in a gentle way, but she was cut off when Mike and his buddy Robbie walked up to the blue ant. (Remember these guys?) ''What the hell was that for, huh? ,'' Mike yelled at Flik, who kept quiet.
''Please boys calm-''
''Sorry, my queen, but seriously...How could you do this to us. The colony? ,'' Mike said. ''Dude...that was low making the grasshoppers think that we are weak...''
Flik knew that he was in trouble. He thought it was going to be the queen or Atta giving him 'the speech'; however, he never thought Mike was going to be giving him the speech. Even though, Flik knew that Mike and Robbie never got along with him, but somehow he knew that he was also trying to protect the colony too.
However, when the young ant looked up to see Mike's light blue eyes full of anger and fear. Flik could have sworn that he saw tears forming. He wanted to do something but what could he do, he knew if he tried to reason with them, they will just attack him with words. Looking around to see the colony looking at him with anger, fear, and betrayal.
''...I'm sorry..,'' Flik said in a weak voice.
''No...No, you're not. You only thought about yourself, dude.''
''NO...That's not true! I was thinking about the rest, but.,'' he stopped himself looking at the princess. ''...I...''
Mike looked at him for a bit before saying this,''...Even though we me and you have our difference..I still care about this colony.'' He turn to the queen who looked shocked as ever. ''I'm sorry, my queen...but I think I should get to work,'' he said before leaving.
Robbie stood there showing his friend leaving the hole, he turn to Flik. He knew that he was always mean to the poor kind, but he knew that he was trying to stop Hopper hurting someone. They were staring at each other for a while, but Flik slap out of it seeing the rest of the colony walked away from him angry. He knew they were going work; however, he also knew they were not going to speak to him.
''...Sorry...,'' his voice was so low that Robbie couldn't hear it. Robbie wanted to say something but he didn't it so he left. When everyone left , the queen looked at Flik , but first she told her daughters to leave her be, and walked up to him. Flik stood there quietly waiting for the queen to yell or do something to him, but she didn't.
*xx*
Princess Atta was upset at the fact that the grasshopper wanted them to gather the food again and only they only had one days to gather the things for the talent show. She thought of Flik for a moment, but at the same time she was too upset to feel sorry for him.
Princess Dot looked up to see her sister looking upset at something, she wanted to know what was wrong, but she knew to play it cool for a bit.
Atta stop walking her trial to speak, ''Dot, just spilt it out.,'' her voice was calm but at the same time it was full of anger. However, Dot knew that her sister was trying to hide her anger.
''What do you mean, sis?,'' asked Dot in a sweet tone.
Atta knew that her sister was trying to hide her curiousness, she put her hands on her hips and said,'' Dot...''
Dot tried to hide it. ''Heheheheh, don't be silly, Atta. I mean, I would I be curious about...I know...'' She couldn't hold her tears any longer, she began to sob not caring if her older sister made fun of her. Quickly Atta hover a bit to her younger sister's side and gave her a hug.
She knew why Dot was crying so hard. Dot was thinking about poor Flik, even though she was still mad at him, Atta still care about Flik; she held her younger sister tighter. ''Shh...It's going to be okay. It's going to okay, Dot, I'm here...,''
*xx*
Flik and the queen walked in silent, no one spoke just only the sound of their feet moving. Flik could tell something was bugging the queen, but he didn't right now.
He sigh, of course the queen heard but didn't want to speak to him in the hall. They enter her throne like counseling room, the queen sat down on her chair. However, Flik stood quiet, of course he was trying to stay calm as possible. The queen didn't want to give him 'the talk' right now, but she knew that she had too.
''Flik-''
''I know that you're upset at me, queen, but...I was only trying to protect the colony...,'' he said trying ti find his voice. Flik knew that he should have kept his mouth shut, he never liked being that ant that let the grasshoppers bully them around. He knew that the colony hated it too, but they were too scared to do anything.
''I'm not mad...I'm very disappointed at you for almost endangering the colony and my young daughter. What were you thinking?,'' her voice was calm but yet fill with anger. Flik didn't know what to say at this, of course the queen was right about this. Flik almost endanger the whole colony!
However, Flik didn't say anything to her but only simply stare at her with sorry eyes; he knew what he had done. ''Flik...you're a great young ant, and an excellent inventor; however, you werenot acting like yourself today.,'' she said calmly.
The queen was right, the young blue ant wasn't acting like himself today, somehow she had a feeling that he was hiding something from her. ''Is there something that you're hiding from me?''
Flik stared at her for a bit then he shook his head. ''Why would I hide anything to you, my queen?,'' his voice was low and yet sad, knowing when he leaves the throne room he's going to get the evil eye from the rest of the colony.
However, he knew it was going to happened sooner or later, but at the same time, the young blue ant needed to face the truth. Flik looked at the queen before leaving and said, ''I know that is was an terrible idea but at the same time...I try to help out but ...I guess my lucked fail.,'' he said before leaving.
His words were right, even though he tried so hard to protect the royals and the colony, he felt like a failure to the queen. She thought for a second what he had just said and ran to tell him, but he was already gone from the sight.
*xx*
While walking quietly, Flik thought about what's going to happen tomorrow, he was scared about this but at the same time he needed to put on the brave face on. He stopped walking to see the princess walking towards him. She looked a bit upset, he was going to try to talk to her, even though he could tell that she was upset at him.
''Hey there, princess...,'' his voice was low. He wasn't trying to hard but his heart started to hurt when he said some reason. The blue ant didn't dare to open his mouth, just in case she was going to slap him or something. He looked at her for a moment when she spoke up to her, ''Flik-''
''Look princess, I'm so sorry what I did, I just wanted to protect y- I mean, the colony, I just I was tired of Mike and Robbie teasing me how weak I was but...I failed..,''
The princess didn't say anything further after that, she stared at him with curious eyes right now. ''Why is he's acting so jumpy..?,'' she thought. However, Atta didn't brother to ay anything about it; she knew that Mike and Robbie were always putting the young blue ant down, but at the same time she knew this wasn't going to end good.
Atta didn't say anything but walked closer to him; Flik looked up her eyes and-SLAP! He thought it was just a dream that something bad happen, but it wasn't...Flik gently placed a hand on his sworn cheek; carefully he turn to face the princess, who had a angry face. Flik never the princess this angry at anyone before, he was shocked at her actions; he didn't say anything to her but only,''...Atta...'', he whisper her name gently.
However she didn't say a word but only just glare at him with angry eyes; no not with hated-she couldn't think of hating him, but she was angry at him for almost endangering her younger sister.
''YOU IDIOT! You almost endanger the colony, how you think only about yourself!,'' she cried out.
He flinched at the volume of her voice, he never knew how strong her voice was, of course this was the first time Flik ever heard the princess yelled. The princess, on the other hand was about to say something else when she stopped herself, she looked down at the ground .
''How could you, Flik...You almost put my younger sister in dangerous place, she could've been..Ugh! Why are you trying so hard to prove yourself to the colony, huh?,'' she said finally looking at him with sadness in her light blue eyes.
''Atta, I'm sorry alright, I was only trying to help.! And I'm not proving myself...I...I just hate the fact that the grasshoppers think they can own us, that's why I stood up to them, princess. I was sick of it...,'' he said. However the room became silent, it was strange because Flik thought she was going to yell or something but the only thing she did was looked down once again.
''...Go...''
''...Atta...''
''I said GO! Get to work and leave me alone, Flik! I trusted you; I can't believe I'm saying this but that was the most stupidest thing you ever done!,'' she shouted at him with anger; however, the blue ant felt that he should been yelled by the others and the queen, but the queen didn't yell just simply spoke with him in gentle tone. But Atta spoke at him with anger in her voice, usually he loved hearing her gentle voice but he knew not today...Today was not a good day for gentle talk.
Princess Atta took a deep breath trying to calm herself. Flik was still placing his hand on his sworn cheek, he looked at her eyes once again and notice the princess's eyes were about to tear up, he gasp at the sight of her crying. Atta quickly realized why he gasped, she quickly wiped her eyes, and then said, ''Flik...just please go to work and leave me alone...I need time to think..,'' she said softly before she gently flew away from him.
He turn back to see his 'love' just leave him like that, leaving him with just confused and sadness in his heart; however, he didn't notice that young Princess Dot was looking at him sadly in the other side of the rock.' 'Flik...,'' she said in a very low voice.
*xx*
Flik was finally outside, he saw the others were working really hard; however, he notice that the others were looking at him in a bad way; of course he knew why though; he felt it was his fault, but only he knew why.
''C'mon! Hurry up before the grasshoppers come again!,'' a ant yelled.
''How the heck will they be back, they left about what-fifteen minutes ago.,'' said the second ant.
However Flik thought it be true, even though they just left the island, they might come back for more. H e started to walk near a planet that wasn't cut yet, he picked up his inventors, and began to work; however, he heard some of the ants talking about Flik getting 'into' the grasshopper's face.
''I still can't believe it.,'' said one of the ant worker's.
''Yeah, dude...He thinks he can just be brave and stand up to those damn grasshoppers. But look at him! He still thinks he can be forgive-''
''I don't think so.,'' said a voice that sounded a upset. The two ant workers turn to see Mike looking straight at the young blue ant. Mike was still upset at the fact that the talent show is tomorrow, it was going to be in two days, but Flik spoke up to them. Mike, didn't like this at all, how could the princess or the queen let this little ant-that almost cost them their lives to work. He was about to say something when his friend, Robbie spoke to him. ''Mike...'' He turn to face his friend.
''I know that everyone is mad at this kid..but we can't be worrying about that, we need to forced on the main goal right now,'' Robbie spoke with so much hope in his voice that it almost touched the other two ant workers to smile, but Mike just simply looked back at Flik and began to work. While the others looked confused, they continued to return to their work.
On the other hand, Flik heard everything what the others said about him. He looked down on his feet for a second before looking up to see the others were scared and upset; he knew that they were going to keep talking about him, but at the same time-it did bother him, but he knew he knew in his heart he did the right to stand up to the grasshoppers.
(Me: Allrightly...I'm finally finished with chapter...Whew, that took me two months cuz I was so busy with school and stuff. Hehehe. Okay, I wanted to tell u again Atta does NOT HATE FLIK, she's just up[set with him for standing up to the grasshoppers. I know, i know it sounds really stupid, but Atta and the other ants think Hopper was going to kill them if they EVER stood up to him. However, they are also mad because Hopper was going to make the talent show for two days for it to start, but Flik open his mouth and thats why the talent show is the next day. If you don't understand it please email me. And before I forget: IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT COMMENT IT! Ok, the next chapter will be posted up soon. Laters! :D)
