Written by: CS-Masyet
Dean: Just what are you hiding, Que?
Que: Dean... can you keep a secret?
Dean: O-of course.
Que: I... can talk to bugs.
Dean: Y-you mean, you can understand them?!?
Que: Yeah, that's right...
Dean: T-that's...
Que: ...weird, right?
Dean: No, I think that's really cool!
Que: R-really?
Dean: Yeah. I'm guessing you don't want anyone else to know, right?
Que: Yeah, I'm not supposed to let anyone know...
Dean: That makes sense. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else.
Que: Thank you, Dean.
Spider: I'm happy that we can trust him.
Que: Oh, Spider says that he's happy that we can trust you.
Dean: That's right, you can talk to Spider too... Gets closer to Spider. Um hello, I'm Dean. Can you understand me?
Spider: Yeah...
Que: Spider said yeah.
Dean: Oh, so bugs can understand human language... Interesting...
Spider: Looks at Que's watch. Que, it's 15:40...
Que: Huh? ...a-ah! Oh no, my mom'll be home in 5 minutes! See you tomorrow, Dean! Runs home.
Dean: Okay! (Don't worry Que, I won't tell anyone your secret.)
The next day...Que: Running to school. Oh no, I'm gonna be late!
Spider: Who's that?
Que: Sees a girl standing by the school entrance. Don't know; I've never seen her before...
Girl: ... (Where is he?)
Que: Runs up her. Um hello, who're you? Are you new here?
Girl: BUG!!! Runs away.
Que: Huh?
Spider: I must've scared her...
Que: Goes to class. *huff* I made it...
Dean: Good morning, Que.
Que: Morning!
Dean: Hey, there's something I want to talk to you abo-...
Jay: Walks up to them. Hey, bugfreak and nerd boy! Have you seen a blue-haired girl around?
Dean: If you're going to ask us something, don't call us names...
Que: Ah, I think I have!
Jay: Really? Where?
Que: She was by the school entrance, but she ran away from me...
Jay: Because she's scared of bugs! Stupid bugfreak, now I have to look for her! Leaves.
Dean: He's such a jerk. It's not like you would know or anything...
Que: *tearyeyed* A-am I really a bugfreak...?
Dean: Don't mind him, Que. You're not a freak.
Que: Thanks, Dean. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?
Teacher: Alright everyone, class is starting now. Get in your seats.
Dean: I'll tell you at recess.
Que: Okay... The students get in their seats. Jay hasn't come back yet...
Spider: Why was Jay looking for that girl, anyway?
Que: Maybe she's his sister. They both have blue hair, and they look sorta alike.
Spider: Yeah, true...
Que: I wonder what her name is. Maybe we can be friends...
Spider: I doubt it, since she doesn't like bugs...
Que: I just realized something! Can bugs have names, too?
Spider: I suppose... I don't have one, though.
Que: I give you one, then! What about... Webs? No... I know! How about Spidey?
Spider: Sure.
Que: Alright, from now on, you're Spidey!
Spidey: Okay!
Jay/Girl: Come in.
Teacher: There you two are! Where have you been?
Girl: Sorry, I got lost...
Teacher: That's alright. Why don't you introduce yourself?
Girl: Hello everyone, I'm Cey. I'm Jay's cousin.
Spidey: Wow, you were close Que...
Cey: I hope to get along with everyo-... GYAHH!!! Hides behind Jay.
Teacher: What's the matter?
Cey: *tearyeyed* Points to Que. S-spider...
Jay: Cey is scared of bugs.
Teacher: Don't worry, you can sit at the back so you won't be near the spider, okay?
Cey: B-but...
Teacher: I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it now. Please take a seat.
Cey: ... Sits far away from Que.
Jay: ...
Teacher: You too, Jay...
Jay: Oh, right! Sits in his seat.
During recess...Teacher: Que, can I talk to you for a minute?
Que: Um, sure... Walks to the teacher's desk. What is it, teacher?
Teacher: I'm sorry, but could you leave your spider at home from now on?
Que: W-what? *tearyeyed* Why?
Teacher: Since Cey is scared of bugs, I can't have the spider near her... Isn't there anywhere you can keep it during school?
Que: I-I... don't...
Dean: Walks up to them. You can keep him at my house.
Que: D-Dean? Are you sure?
Dean: Yeah. Don't worry, I have a place that's perfect for him.
Que: Really? Thank you, Dean! Hugs him. You're a livesaver!
Dean (blushing): D-don't mention it... They both go outside.
Que: So, what do you want to talk about?
Dean: About what you were saying to the bugs... It sounded like they were in danger...
Que: They said the forest was being destroyed by someone.
Dean: W-what?!? Who would do something like that?!?
Que: I don't know... They said they need my help, but I don't know what to do...
Dean: If there's anything I can do to help, then feel free to tell me, okay?
Que: Thank you, Dean. Sees Cey walking by. Oh, it's Cey! I'm going to go talk to her. Runs by.
Spidey: But I'm still on your shoulder...
Que: Hi.
Cey: BUG!!! Hides behind a tree.
Que: Again?
Spidey: Of course, she's afraid of me...
Que: But you're a friendly spider...
Dean: Don't worry Cey, the spider won't hurt you.
Cey (blushing): R-really? (He's cute...)
Dean: Yeah, now stop hiding from behind the tr-... The bell rings.
Cey: EEK!!! Runs into the school.
Dean: *sigh*
Que: But I want us to be friends...
After school...Dean: Walking home.
Que: Follows Dean. Wait, Dean!
Dean: What is it?
Que: You said you'd take care of Spidey, right?
Dean: Oh, yeah! *sweatdrop* Almost forgot...
Que: Can I go to your house with you to bring Spidey there? I want to see where he's going to stay anyway.
Dean: Sure! Follow me!
Que: Okay! Dean and Que run to his house.
A new student has appeared, causing Que to leave Spidey at Dean's house. What exactly is the place that he said was "perfect for him"? Find out in the next episode of Bug Guardian!
