This chapter is a birthday gift for my longtime friend Vickyt36. May not be for everyone but I know it'll make her happy. Vicky, enjoy. And if you like it anyone else, thx.

One of the most famous citizens of litwak city was a woman named Honey Potts, or the queen bee as she was also known as. She was a former mascot for a company called Sweet Honey treats. While she lived a life of adventure and luxury now, growing up she was trapped in her website by a firewall which prevented her from leaving, leading to a very boring life.

For reasons unknown to her, her parents disappeared at a young age, and she lived alone with her 3 bee friends, Buzz, Bumble, and Stinger. Their jobs were restocking items for the avatars and basic maintenance and site search help. They lived together in a small office with a desk, computer, small tv and a window of the internet. Not much, but they had basic necessities to survive.

Life was ok if not boring, most visitors to the site couldn't see her so she didn't have many people to talk to. Her only visitor she got every few months she could talk to was an eye doctor who changed out her glasses, without which she'd be blind as a bat.

For most of her life, honey thought this way of living was fine, she had what she needed, she just wished she owned a little more than she did, especially seeing women on tv with nice clothes and tech. Her wish sorta came true when she met a man named Rancis fluggerbutter, who became a friend of hers after crashing his plane he called an X Wing fighter into her site. She loved looking at it, sitting in the wrecked cockpit pretending she was exploring. Rancis would tell her stories of adventures he went on, and talked about his life back home. One day he stopped coming, and she didn't know why, and she soon in time forgot about him, but before he stopped coming, he gave her a gift that while many questioned, she loved more than anything.

He got her a black tote purse which she adored. The day after she got it, she wore it all day at work, using it to carry products around as well as stuff she needed. She loved posing with it and she felt like a real business woman wearing it. Those who could see her, internet citizens, complimented her look but questioned why she needed it when she didn't go anywhere. She merely brushed those comments away and wore it everyday to feel more professional.

One day in the mid 2020's, she got another visitor who intrigued her, a mysterious fortune teller who offered to share her future. After agreeing on a payment, honey led her to her office, sat her purse under her desk, then sat down.

"Ask me any question you want" said the fortune teller

"Will I ever leave this site?" Honey asked

The fortune teller grabbed Honeys hand and started feeling around.

"I see you one day leaving. By the end of the decade, you will go on a grand adventure of your own. You'll make powerful friends, meet deadly foes, and the rewards for your actions will be great"

"Adventure? Wow, sounds so cool" said Honey "Where will I go?"

"I see a grand city, where homeless people go to live. Full of unique people big and small. But this world is not without danger. A great conflict is inevitable between a little girl, and a powerful empire from another galaxy. A spoiled princess this girl is, but you'll be a good friend to her"

"I don't believe you. If this world sounds bad, why would I want to go there?" Honey asked

"Let me show you what your future self will hold"

Honey then began to see visions in her head, she saw a big house with her name on the mailbox. She saw shadows of people she'd meet, big and small. She was then shown her reflection, she had a new purse over her shoulder, and around her neck were 2 necklaces she thought were beautiful, pearls and a silver one with a heart. She had a matching bracelet and a diamond ring, she even had earrings, something she always wanted since she was younger. She looked amazing. But then the visions faded away and were replaced by 2 evil yellow eyes, followed by laughter, evil sounding laughter. Finally she saw a giant bee flying towards her before she snapped back to reality.

"Who was that? What was that?" Honey asked

"I'm afraid I do not know. But you will one day find out" said the teller

Honey asked more questions about her future, would she find love, happiness, would she live her dreams? While given somewhat vague answers, she was satisfied with the service and paid the teller in products she kept in her purse.

Honey anxiously awaited the day she would leave, but it grew harder everyday waiting. Her bees even looked up the jewelry and items she described having in her vision, and sadly told her she'd never own them.

"They're too expensive and we're stuck here" said Buzz

"Let's face it, you've been lied to" said Stinger

This made honey sad. She tried her best to continue her job, but one morning, she refused to get up and work.

"I'm not going and that's that. I hate my job here and nobody will even notice if I'm gone" said Honey as she tried to go back to sleep

Her bees tried getting her to wake up, even going as far as stinging her, but bee stings were nothing more than hard pokes to her and gave her little if any pain. After a while, the bees finally gave up, and let honey be. If she wanted to be lazy, then so be it. Not like anyone truly cared.

This behavior went on for a bit before finally, the site shut down after years of service and declining popularity, and finally, honey was free to leave. She grabbed a couple crates of bees she used to make honey as well as the little belongings she could carry in her purse and left the site, vowing never to come back.

After walking for some time, she stumbled upon world designer, and the city of litwak city, a place she could call home. Over a week she settled into her lovely new home and built a honey farm and store to continue what she knew best. But of course for the aging mascot, times were tough, and her business wasn't the smash hit she expected. She barely had enough money for groceries, subsiding on her treats and fast food.

For the first time in her life, honey felt completely hopeless as she walked home one day. As she walked to her apartment, she heard a car honk at her.

"Go back to the bee hive!" An npc shouted

The npc in the car threw a flavored drink at honey, soaking her.

"Yeah I got her, screw you bumblebee!" The npc shouted before driving away

Honey trudged her way back home and tossed her bag off. It was then that the purse straps finally snapped off after years of use. Honey plopped on her couch, and began to cry. She finally got to leave her site but her life was worse. As the stars came out, she made a wish on a shooting star she saw

"I wish my life was better than it is" she told herself

(Some years later)

Honey sat in her office desk finishing some work and moving stuff around. To say her luck improved is an understatement. Over the last several years, honeys life turned for the better, and she was now one of the games big celebrities and heroes. She was loved by many, and toys of her were sold along with other items with her face on them.

Honey finished her work and turned to a display case, full of items she collected on travels to the internet. She amassed quite a collection of items, and definitely had some favorites she treasured dearly.

Her pearl necklace she wore everyday reminded her of when she found her true love. The heart necklace she also wore reminded her of when she finally learned to fly and became a respected pilot. In her display case she also kept her first purse, now repaired, to remind her of her first valuable belonging. She also kept an invitation from her first villains party, where she learned she was respected by every villain in the game. She got invited to just about every party a villain threw, and she was the guest of honor whenever she did show up to one.

A major possession she owned was up in space in the games galaxy. Docked at the city spaceport was an imperial Star destroyer, the wasp. Formerly called the Palpatine's fist, it was a symbol of oppression and might for the Galactic Empire, one of the games governments. Now it was a symbol of all the struggle and strength honey had gone through getting where she was today. It served as a home away from home and private museum for her collection of game artifacts.

Honey then smiled as she stood up. She had been through a lot, she fought an evil virus and saved the game, reunited with her long lost parents, started a family, defeated an evil emperor, even reunited with Rancis, who claimed he stopped visiting because her site moved and he didn't know her company's name. All things she couldn't imagine in her old life. She grabbed her purse and decided to head out, time for another adventure, time to continue living the life she dreamed of years ago.

Happy early birthday to my best friend Vickyt36, whom this chapter is for
