Written by: CSMaster
Que: After school. *sigh*
Spider: What's wrong, Que?
Que: I still miss the butterfly...
Spider: Maybe we can meet a new friend on the way home.
Que: Good idea! Goes to a patch of flowers. Bugs... Where are you?
Bee: Sleeping in a flower. Zzz...
Que: Aw, it's a baby bee! So cute!
Bee: Wakes up. Huh?
Que: Oh, I'm sorry! Did I wake you up?
Bee: Flies next to Que. No, it's okay. Oh no, everyone else is gone...
Que: Huh? Do you mean your family?
Bee: Yeah, I can't find my way home by myself...
Que: Do you want me to help you find your home?
Bee: You'll help me? Thank you so much!
Que: So where's your hive? Is it in a tree?
Bee: Yeah, it's a big o-...
Dean: Whacks the bee with rolled-up paper.
Que: BEE!!!
Dean: Que, are you okay?
Que: Starts crying.
Dean: Que, what's wrong?
Que (crying): Slaps Dean in the face.
Dean: Ow! Why did y-...
Que (crying): Why did you do that for, you meanie?!? I HATE YOU!!! Picks up the bee and runs away.
Dean: Eh... Starts crying. (W-what just happened...?)
Que: Bee, are you okay?
Bee: Starts flying again. Yeah, I'm okay. He didn't hit me that hard...
Que: Stupid Dean, why did he do that? I thought he was nice to bugs...
Spider: Maybe he thought the bee would sting you...
Que: But Bee wouldn't do that! Right, Bee?
Bee: Of course not!
Spider: But he probably didn't know... You should forgive him...
Que: Never! Dean's a meanie! Hmph!
Spider: *sigh*
Meanwhile, with Dean...Dean: Sitting in the grass. (I don't understand... Why was she mad at me? All I did was hit the bee... Maybe it's because she likes bugs so much...)
Jay: Walks up to him. Hey, what's up? You're not hanging out with the bugfreak today?
Dean: Que got mad at me because I swatted a bee...
Jay: Figures. She likes bugs as much as I love pie!
Dean: Gets up. I'm going to go apologize to her.
Jay: Fine, do whatever you want, but it'll be hard getting that bug lover to forgive you.
Dean: Runs away.
Jay: *sigh* (But why's such a weird girl gotta be so cute...?)
Dean: (He has a point... How am I going to get Que to forgive me...?) *sigh* Sees a butterfly flying by. (That...!)
Back with Que...Que: In a forest full of trees. So, which tree is it? Is it one of these?
Bee: I don't know... They all look the same...
Spider: This is going to take forever...
Que: And it's already 15:00... I have to get home soon...
Spider: If only we had some help...
Que: Hm... I know; I'll ask some bugs for help! Sees a beetle on the ground. Excuse me, Mr. Beetle!
Beetle: Leave me alone...
Que: Oh, sorry... I won't disturb you...
Beetle: Whatever... ...wait, you can understand me?!?
Que: Yeah, that's right!
Beetle: Don't tell me you're the Bug Guardian?!?
Que: I don't know; that's what all the bugs say...
Beetle: Everyone, the Bug Guardian has returned!
A bunch of bugs come out from the ground and the trees.Ladybug: B-Bug Guardian?!?
Mantis: That little girl is the Bug Guardian?!?
Dragonfly: Now we're all saved!
Que: Wow, so many bugs...
Ant: Please, you must help us, o' great protector of bugs!
Que: Why? Do you need my help with something?
Dean: Runs into the forest and hides behind a tree. (What's going on here; what's with all the bugs...? And why's Que with all of them?!?)
Beetle: This forest is home to most of the bugs in Htrae. It is like a bug utopia.
Mantis: But the forest's trees have been getting chopped down by humans... More often now recently.
Ladybug: We've tried to stop them, but we're just bugs... Humans think of us as nothing but vermin, and extermiate us.
Que: T-that's horrible!
Dragonfly: But you're also a human! You can help us since you can understand us!
Que: But I don't know what to do... I'm just a little girl...
Beetle: Please, you must do something!
Ant: Please, o' great protector!
Ladybug: Save us!
Que: I... I... I'll do whatever I can! I promise!
Spider: And I'll help too! You're not alone, Que!
Que: Thank you, Spider!
Bee: Um, Que...
Que: Oh, that's right! I still have to help find your home, Bee! Um, does anyone kno-...
Mother Bee: Flies to Bee. Oh, my baby! I've been so worried!
Bee: Mama!
Spider: Well, that solved that problem.
Mother Bee: Thank you Bug Guardian, for finding my child.
Que: You're welcome.
Mother Bee: Oh honey, you're injured! What happened?
Bee: It's nothing; I'm fine!
Mother Bee: Please, Bug Guardian! Heal my child with your powers!
Que: I'm sorry, I can't do something like that... I can only talk to bugs...
Mother Bee: But the last Bug Guardian could...
Mantis: She still must be inexperienced...
Que: Wow, there's more to being a Bug Guardian then I thought...
Spider: Hey Que, what time is it?
Que: 15:30... A-ah, my mom's going to get home in 15 minutes! I have to go! See everyone later! Runs and crashes into Dean. Ow! ...Dean?
Dean: Q-Que...
Que: Why are you here?
Dean: I wanted to apologize to you... About what I did...
Que: ...
Spider: Que...
Dean: Oh, I brought you something... Takes out a cage. There is a butterfly inside.
Que: Is that...
Dean: Opens the cage.
Butterfly: Mama!
Que: Butterfly! I missed you!
Butterfly: I missed you, too!
Que: Thank you so much, Dean!
Dean: You're welcome... And I'm really sorry...
Que: It's okay, I forgive you.
Dean: Really?
Que: Yeah.
Spider: Que, don't you have to get home?
Que: Ah, that's right! Sorry Dean, I have to get home! Bye, Butterfly! Starts to run, but Dean stops her. What's wrong?
Dean: Que, wait... There's something I want to ask you...
Que: What is it?
Dean: ...can you talk to bugs?
Que: E-eh?
Dean: There were a whole bunch of bugs around you before, and you were talking to them...
Que (shocked): Y-you saw that?!?
Dean: Not only did it seem like they understood you... It also seemed like you could understand them...
Que: U-um...
Spider: D-don't tell me he found out...
Dean: Just what are you hiding?
Que: Dean...
Dean: Yeah?
Que: ...can you keep a secret?
