Back at P.T Flea's Circus
"I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU LOSERS! YOU'RE MAKING ME LOSE MONEY AND YOUR ACTS ARE TERRIBLE!" P.T yelled at his troupe. "Oh P.T! Give us a break, you know how much we always try and do our best in every show!" Rosie snapped back at the Flea. "It's those flies that are ruining our act!" Francis told P.T, "They keep calling me a girl just because I'm a 'Ladybug'!"
"I thought you were over with being called a girl!" P.T said, "You were able to handle those little girl ants call you a girl but not those flies?" "Well that's different!" Francis replied, "They were just kids, these are grown bugs!" "Francis just ignore them and focus on our act!" Slim told the ladybug.
Francis scoffed, every time he tries to focus on the act he can't because the flies keep distracting him. No matter how hard he tries to ignore them. Francis may have been used to being called a girl by the Blueberry Scout, but he is not used to being called a girl by the flies. Just then, the flies were heard calling out for Francis. "COME ON GIRLY BUG! WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU!" One of the flies shouted. Francis had enough of this, "THAT'S IT! I'M GONNA BEAT THOSE FLIES UP UNTIL THEY LEARN NOT TO CALL ME A GIRL AGAIN!" Francis shouted as he was about to rush inside the tent and attack those flies, but Slim held him back. "WOAH FRANCIS CALM DOWN!" Slim told Francis. "I CAN'T! NOW LET GO OF ME SO I CAN ATTACK THEM!" Francis replied, trying to break of Slim's grasp so he can get to the flies.
P.T Flea rolled his eyes, "Why don't we just get this show over with?!" He said leaping onto the stage. "Ladies and Gentlebugs! In this next act, I present to you... FLAMING DEATH!"
The act went the way things were supposed to go, although Francis had nearly flew up to the audience to attack them... but he was able to resist. P.T was very proud of how well and successful his act went out, he knew that his show could still make him rich. When the show was over, P.T ordered his troupe to his office. "I'm very proud of you guys! Maybe perhaps, we can go back ant island and see our good old friend Flik! I heard he's gonna be King soon, don't wanna miss his coronation!" "You mean wedding? Because he is getting married to Queen Atta." Rosie corrected P.T. "Oh how wonderful! Flik is not only going to become King, he's going to become the husband of our beloved Queen Atta!" Gypsy said. "I hope to colony recognizes me as their friend..." Molt said, nervous. "I bet they will!" P.T said, "Now let's go!" "YOU'RE FIRED!" Tuck and Roll said with excitement. The circus bugs all gathered inside the wagon and then took off back to Ant Island to pay the ants a visit (and to not miss Flik and Atta's wedding).
Back at Ant Island
The colony was still gathering food for the winter, they were still happy to not work for anyone anymore. They were mostly excited for the upcoming wedding of Flik and Queen Atta, but Atta and Dot were still sad about the loss of their mother. Their mother had died a few months after Atta became Queen and after the circus bugs left the island to continue working at the circus, but their mom will never be able to see the wedding. This has hurt Atta ever since, even Flik was sad that his parents will never see him get married and become king, his parents died from a terrible sickness before Dot was born and no one knew about it, Flik still never told anyone yet that his parents are dead, some of the ants thought that his parents abandoned him. Flik even had three younger siblings who disappeared unexpectedly.
Flik, Atta and Dot were forced to drain their memories and just focus on their future and the wedding. Flik and Atta watched as the colony gathered food for the winter, boy was it hard for Atta to not have her mother around, but most of all she did not want to lose Flik. Not in a million years will she ever let Flik leave her like this, which is why she always tries to keep Flik in her sight. Flik does the same, he is really determine to protect his soon-to-be wife from getting in trouble. Flik and Atta then cuddled each other for comfort, that was their worst fear, losing each other. Just then, the horn rang!
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their happiness turned to terrified. "They're back?!" Atta screamed, terrified more than ever. "How is this possible! I thought those grasshoppers had enough with us!" Flik said then turned his attention to the colony, "Everyone, in the anthill! NOW!"
The colony as fast as they could into the anthill, they were more terrified than they ever were in years. Flik, Atta, and Dot stayed close together and everyone waited quietly for the grasshoppers to leave. They all heard the buzzing of the their wings coming closer and closer to the island, and everyone became frozen with fear to hear those buzzing sounds. "Oh no, what do we do?!" Dr. Flora panicked. "I hope they're not back for revenge!" Thorny said. The buzzing then stopped and everyone became more scared.
"Alright everyone, let's give those ants a lesson to learn!" One of the voices of the grasshopper's said above ground. Everyone recognized the voice of the grasshopper, but they couldn't believe who's voice it was. It couldn't be true! He died after being eaten by a bird!
UH OH! The colony's got some real trouble going on now!
Also sorry for taking a while to update this story, school is like torturing me right now and it was pushing me away from getting this done...
Anyway here is chapter 2! Who is the grasshopper that was eaten by a bird and is now back?
