Theme song

The **theme song** is the opening theme for *Nate Is Late*. It is played before every episode in most airings of the show.

## Lyrics

Just another trip to school for Nate and Malika
Adventure awaits, they're ready to shine
Even if they play it cool, will Nate and Malika
Ever, ever be on time?
**Principal Prudence:** *What's your excuse today?*
## Description

The theme song begins with the series' logo in front of a shot of Nate's house. Suddenly, Nate opens the door and jumps down the steps in front of Malika, and they share a high five. They then notice Melanie riding her bike toward them at a very high speed, prompting them to move out of the way before she crashes. They begin running to school, jumping over Ajax's leash much to his and Mrs. Rainfort's annoyance and running past Professor Toybos in his car, who has been stopped by Policeman Dwayne. They stop in front of Maurice, who is standing on top of a manhole cover, before Pimple opens it and invites them inside. They jump in and land in the sewer, where they find the Croaker ready to lick them. They dodge his tongue and jump into the sewage stream when the scene transitions to them in the park's lake, surrounded by Queen Hydra and her guards. The scene then transitions to them flying past the City in the Sky, Nate on a broomstick and Malika on a flyboard, before transitioning to them having been shrunk and gliding onto the ground with a leaf. George appears right behind them, and they begin running away from him. The scene changes multiple times as they continue running from a monstrified Kiki, Elvex and several futuristic drones, and Alpha Tauri as a black hole, before they finally make it to school. Principal Prudence stops them, however, and asks them their excuse for being late.

Spider

**Spider** is the of the four bugs Nate and Malika interact with in the episode, *The Insects*

## Appearance

Spider is a medium size insect with a bit of a grey color. She has six legs some tuffs around her neckline, four eyes, a rounded body and a bit of a pear-shape design in her head.

## Personality

Spider is a fairly nice bug who, unlike the others, never gets confrontational with Nate or Malika over how humans treat bugs. Despite Nate landing in her web, rather then web him up to eat him, she instead helps him down and likewise aids in getting the duo back to the shrinking machine to get them back to normal.

## Biography

She's introduced in the middle of the story, after Nate lands in her web from being thrown off Flea during the escape from "Tugasaurs" (aka George, Professor Toybos' pet iguana). She helps him down (Nate thanking her in turn) and regroups with the other bugs just as George manages to find the group and forcing everyone to resume fleeing. Roach is almost caught during the chase, but is saved thanks to Nate's quick thinking and the teamwork of everyone. However Roach still retains his grudge despite this and storms off, though the other insects are willing to help the duo get to Toybos' machine and get them back to normal size. They work together to temporarily incapacitate George, her role being to web George's tongue to the ground after Flea lures him to lash it out, giving Stinkbug the opening to knock George out with his smell.

Flea and she then help the duo up the machine to the activation button and all try to work together to push it, but their mass doesn't look to be enough. Roach however arrives to finally help and repay his debt to Nate, his extra mass allowing the button to be pressed. Nate and Malika jump into the beam and return to normal size, just in time to keep George from eating them. She then joins the other bugs in riding on Nate and Malika's shoulders as they head for school.

## Abilities

- **Spider Web**: Being a spider, she can naturally fire out webs to both climb up and down areas or stick something to the ground.

Roach

**Roach** is one of the insects Nate and Malika interact in the "*The Insects*", being one of the four focused characters of that episode

## Appearance

He's...a roach, being the tallest of the four insects seen. During Nate and Malika's shrunken stature, he manages to tower over them easily.

## Personality

Roach is a very gruff being, not being a big fan of humans as he claims all they do to bugs is either flick off (as Nate had done earlier) or squish them. He's more then willing to start a conflict over anything that slights him and is a bit prideful refusing help because of said grudge. But he's at least willing to put it aside for the bigger picture, does care for his friends and ultimately help when he knows he should, even if it'll take some convincing to do so.

## Biography

At the start of the episode, when Nate is digging around some trash as Malika and he are traveling to school. He hops on Nate's nose who is freaked out at this until eventually being flicked off. After the duo are accidently shrunken by Professer Toybus's machine. He confronts the pair alongside Stinkbug and Flea over how they treat bugs. Just as they're about to attack the duo, the ground shaking interrupts them and they realize "Tugasaurs" (aka George, Toybus' pet iguana) is nearby prompting everyone to flee. This goes on for a bit, with the group (joined by Spider) running for a facet. Roach is caught while climbing up it and almost eaten if not for Nate's quick thinking and the teamwork of everyone that saves him. However Roach, still retaining his grudge, refuses to accept his help and stormed away, though the other bugs agree to help the duo.

Despite his words, Roach watches as the group works together to temporally knock out George and getting the duo up to the shrinking machine's power button to turn it on. When the group don't seem to have enough mass to push the button, Roach arrives to help, finally getting over his pride and repaying his debt to Nate. His added weight is enough to help turn on the machine. Nate thanks him before Malika and he jump into the beam and return to normal size. just in time to keep George from eating the bugs. Roach joins the duo as he and the other bugs ride on their shoulder to school.

## Abilities

* He seems to be fairly strong person as his added weight is ultimately the deciding factor to help push the shrinking ray's button.
