## Scene 1: Ant Island

Flik's working on a new invention for his best friends for life and the worker ants to store and collect food products.

Atta: "I see that you're working on a new invention, right, Flik?"

Flik: "I sure am, Atta. you wanna see it?"

Atta: "I sure would."

Atta: [Kisses Flik]

Flik's greatest invention is a catapult which of course is a super big daisy with the stem tied with a few grass blade and the stick's the lever.

Atta: "Wow, a catapult. I see what you were doing there."

Dot: "A catapult? I never saw 1 of those before in my entire life."

Aphie: [Barking In Reply]

Flik: "Well, Dot, a catapult's a machine used to throw an object from a super far distance."

Dot: "Oh my gosh, that's like, super thrilling."

Flik: "We know, but it's not prepared 'til we get a few more grass blades to secure it and it'll be all finished up."

Dot: "Oh yeah, we get what you mean."

Flik: "Well, Dot, in the meantime,"

Atta: "How about you go find your fellow Blueberry Scout troop and lead them around for a bit,"

Flik: "then I'll show you exactly how the machine works, alright?"

Dot: "Alright. see you later, you guys."

Dot goes right off to lead her fellow Blueberry Scout troop.

Atta: "How long's it gonna take to finish the catapult? and what exactly are you gonna use it for?"

Flik: "It'll just take a few more minutes. and I'm gonna use it just in case the grasshoppers return to ruin Ant Island."

Atta: "You know, Flik, I wonder who's leading the entire group ever since that wild bird fed Hopper to her offsprings. I know it's been a super long year ever since his passing, but I'm just curious about it."

Flik: "Hmmm. well? who knows? maybe there could be a new leader. or maybe not. you'll never know."

Atta: "Yeah, I guess you're absolutely right. we'll probably just need to wait and see for ourselves."

Mr. Soil (waving hello to Flik): "Hey there, Flik!"

Flik: "Oh hi there, Mr. Soil. what brings you here?"

Mr. Soil: "I'm here to tell you that we're planning to have a harvest festival tomorrow afternoon. would you like to attend it?"

Flik: "Oh yeah, every single ant in the colony really loves it when we have celebrations. especially time away from those pure evil grasshoppers."

Atta: "I know that, but I sure hope they don't come to ruin the entire party."

Flik: "Don't worry about it, Atta. just as long as I'm right here with you, you'll be alright. I promise you."

Atta: "Okay. thanks a bunch, Flik. I just don't know what I would do without you here."

Flik: "You're welcome. well, come on right now. we better begin getting prepared for the harvest festival tomorrow afternoon."

Atta: "You said it, Flik."

Dot returns walking around with a depressed look on her face.

Dot: [Heartbroken] "The celebration at the harvest festival just won't be as super fun and thrilling without our mother, Atta. I really miss her more than anything ever since she passed away 10 days ago." [Breaks down into tears]

Aphie: [Whimpering In Concern and is licking Dot's face]

The crowd: [Feeling sorry for Dot] "Aww."

[Atta picks Dot up and hugs her while Dot is crying]

Atta: "There there, Dot. It's okay. It'll be alright. you still got me, Flik, and Aphie to look after you. we know exactly how you're feeling. I'm pretty sure the harvest festival can still be super fun and thrilling for you with me, Flik, and everybody in the colony to enjoy. I miss mom more than you do. but it's a super good thing we got Flik to protect all of us and everything. isn't that absolutely right Flik?"

Flik: "Yes of course. That's absolutely right. and, Dot, your sister and I will always be right here with you, no matter what happens. but I know exactly how you're feeling about your mother. I'm feeling a bit depressed and sorrowful about her passing as well too. but she was a super good queen, just like your sister's right now. you really know that, right?"

Dot nods her head in agreement while she is still sobbing. Atta kisses Dot's cheeks soaked with tears to comfort Dot.

Atta: "Don't cry, Dot. Flik's absolutely right. Say, I think I got an idea. Maybe we can do something nice for our mom right before the harvest festival. I'm pretty sure the colony would really like to pay tribute for the former queen of Ant Island. what do you think about that idea?"

Dot stops her emotional breakdown at last and feels better upon hearing what Atta and Flik told her.

Dot: "Well....okay. I think it's a super good idea."

Atta: "Good. I always knew that you would agree with me. now come on, we gotta go set everything up for the harvest festival."

Flik: "We're on it." .

Dot: "Alright, Atta. come on, Aphie, let's go."

Aphie: [Barking In Excitement]

### PT Flea's bug circus tent

The circus bugs are putting on a show for the flies in the audience. but it's not going just as it was planned.

PT Flea: "Darn you pathetic losers! What's the matter with you crazy cowards?! You're screwing up for the 12th time!"

Rosie: "Oh come on, PT Flea. can't you accept the fact that we all try our best for every single performance?"

PT Flea: "Nooooooo! Who's causing all of this trouble?!"

Francis (grabbing angrily right onto PT Flea): "Listen here you parasite! 1 more word outta you and I'm gonna-"

Slim: "Francis, please. what's got into you?"

Heimlich: "Ja. you're all angry and upset zis veek."

Slim: "Wait just 1 minute. Francis, have those flies in the audience been calling you female again?"

Francis: "Yeah right. they're at it again alright. won't they even face the facts that being a ladybug doesn't automatically make me female?!? huh?!?"

Slim: "Probably not."

Fly Number 1: "Hey there, girly bug. what's new?"

Francis angrily flies right over to the flies who had been teasing and mistaking him for a female ladybug. he had just about had enough of them.

Francis: "Listen here, fly boys! I'm not gonna take this constant teasing and rudeness from you any longer! I'm not female! I'm a male ladybug! you think you're intelligent?!?! So knock it off right now and know that, got it?!?"

The flies stand silent.

Francis: "Well? aren't any of you gonna say something?"

Fly Number 2: "You're A Girl."

Francis: "Alright! That does it! (He angrily grabs the flies.) When I say you're dead, I really mean you're DEAD!"

Fly Number 3: "What exactly are you gonna do about it, girly bug?"

Francis begins beating up the flies with all of his might.

Francis: "How exactly do you like that?!? that oughta teach you a lesson for calling me a female! you like that?!? huh?!?"

Other Circus Bugs: "Francis! please! Francis!"

Slim: "Francis, this isn't really you at all! keep yourself calm!"

Francis: "Let me go! let Me go! I'm gonna get all of you!"

Manny: "Francis! please! keep yourself calm!"

Francis: [Deep Breathing]

Rosie: "What's got into you lately, Francis? you been angrier and grouchier than before. is everything okay?"

Francis shakes his head silently.

Slim: "Do you even wish to discuss about this problem?"

Francis: "No way." .

Slim: "Please excuse us, everybuggy. Francis? what's the matter with you? is something wrong here?"

Francis: "No. nothing's wrong here. I'm perfectly fine. don't worry about me, Slim."

Slim: "Francis, let me give you some good advice. you really need to learn how to ignore those mean pesky flies. 'cause every single time you snap at them, they're gonna continue calling you female."

Francis: "How exactly can I ignore them? they just won't leave me alone. why can't they bully some other ladybug?"

Slim: "Francis, please listen to me. if you ignore them long enough and not say another word or react, they'll stop making fun of you 'cause it won't be super hilarious to them any longer. maybe they'll go on and pick on somebuggy their own size.you understand that right now?"

Francis: "But what if it doesn't really work?".

Slim: "Then we'll go with Plan C."

Francis: "If only there was some other way for those pesky flies to quit calling me fe-"

Francis pauses a bit and widens his eyes and mouth. he sees a female yellow ladybug that's giving her piece of grain to the ticket stand in order to see the bug circus. and when she turns herself around and sees Francis, she winks and waves at him. Francis waves back at her with hearts in his eyes.

Slim: "Come on, Francis. let's go right inside. it's almost showtime."

Francis: "Can you just give me 15 minutes? there's something I wanna do around here."

Slim: "Alright. but hurry up or PT Flea's gonna be angry and upset, alright?"

Francis isn't right next to Slim any longer.

Slim: "Francis? oh, Francis! oh well. he'll come back just in time for the performance."

Francis walks right over to the female yellow ladybug, feeling a bit timid.

Francis: "Uhhh...hi there."

Female Yellow Ladybug/Scarlet: "Hello there."

Francis: "I'm...I'm Francis."

Scarlet: "I'm Scarlet."

Francis: "Are you here to see the performance?"

Scarlet: "Yes, of course I am. somebuggy told me about PT Flea's bug circus. and I heard that it's a super good performance. what do you think about that?"

Francis: "I'm actually part of it." .

Scarlet: "Really? well, I bet you're gonna be super good. I'll be in the audience watching the performance."

Francis: "Sounds super good to me."

Scarlet: "You know, Francis. maybe right after the performance, we can speak some more if you want."

Francis: "Alright. then it's a deal."

Slim: "Time's up, Francis. it's time to begin the performance."

Francis: "Hey, what gives? that wasn't exactly 15 minutes."

Slim: "Yes, of course it was. now come on. it's showtime."

Francis: "Alright, okay, you twig. you had me. now let go of my arm."

Just as all of the circus bugs went right backstage getting prepared to go on, PT Flea goes right into the ring onstage.

PT Flea: "Ladies and gentlebugs, larvae of all stage. welcome to PT Flea's bug circus. I'm your host and ringmaster, PT Flea. and I'm here to give you a super good performance this evening. you'll be sure to enjoy it. and now, for the first performance: the most popular flaming death performance."

[Crowd Cheering And Applauding]

Just as the flaming death performance was going on, PT Flea begins remembering the last time they did the performance a couple of years ago. it didn't go exactly the way they planned. everything was mixed up and caused PT Flea to burn up. and Heimlich, Slim, and Francis were way too late to put the fire flames out when they got the water. everybuggy was burned up just as a result. and right now, they're trying the exact same performance again. and this time, it's going exactly as planned with no mishaps.

[Crowd Cheering And Applauding Again]

PT Flea: "I can't believe this. I just can't believe this. the flaming death performance really worked this time. yes! finally! that means I'm gonna be the richest flea in the entire bug universe! yes! yes! yes! yes! yes!"

### Back on Ant Island/preparing for the harvest festival

The entire colony of ants are working together as always to get prepared for the harvest festival for the very next day that was coming up.

Thorny: "So where exactly should we hang this banner up?"

Thorny's holding a banner that reads *Welcome to Our Very 1st Annual Harvest Festival!* on it.

Mr. Soil: "We should really place it right outside near the ant hill."

Thorny: "What a super good idea. that way all of us can see it when we come right outta the ant hill."

Flik: "So are you prepared for the very 1st annual harvest festival tomorrow afternoon, Atta?"

Atta: "I sure am, Flik. how 'bout you?"

Flik: "You know I am. I'm always prepared for anything in the universe."

Dot: "So am I. this is gonna be super fun and thrilling, me and my Blueberry Scout troop are gonna have lots of fun and excitement to do at this fun thrilled party."

Aphie: [Barking In Agreement]

A group of super big shadow figures appear and hover around right over Ant island.

Grasshoppers (off screen): [Buzzing Loudly]

Everybuggy looks right up to see the owners of the shadow figures and the buzzing sounds hovering up above. much to their fears and shock. it's really the grasshoppers.

Thorny: "Jiminy Crickets they're here!"

Thorny rushes right up to sound the signal alarm on the shell horn that alerts the colony when the grasshoppers are coming by.

[Signal Alarm Sounding]

Dr. Flora: "Oh dear! not the grasshoppers again!"

Atta: "Hurry, everybuggy! straight into the anthill! go, go, go, go, go!"

Every single ant rushes right inside the anthill, goes right through the spiral root, passes right by the council chambers, and goes right into the underground bunker. then the ants stand super silent so the grasshoppers won't spot the ant colony. but unfortunately, all of the grasshoppers hear the ants' movements and go right inside the anthill right into the bunker.

All Ants: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The ants are now running around in fear.

Hopper Jr. (off screen): "What's this? a harvest festival coming up? and I wasn't even invited? that's just not fair at all."

Dot: "Wait, who said that? it can't be Hopper again."

Atta: "Now don't worry about it, Dot. Hopper's gone for good right now. he was killed off by the wild bird. he just can't rise up from the grave."

Flik: "Who are you?!? show yourself!".

Hopper Jr.: "I'm Hopper Junior. and I just happen to know that 1 of you ants killed my father off. which 1 of you was it?"

The ants don't say another word.

Hopper Jr.: "Weeeeeeell?"

Flik: "I'll tell you what really happened. it wasn't 1 of us ants. really. it was actually a wild bird."

Hopper Jr.: "I knew I couldn't trust that wild bird."

Mr. Soil: "Well? what exactly are you grasshoppers doing here?"

Thorny: "And what exactly do you want from us, Hopper Jr.?!?"

Hopper Jr.: "Oh nothing. I heard that you puny little ants are having a fun thrilled party and you didn't even invite me or my entire gang. why's that?"

Flik: "Well? 'cause you and the other grasshoppers like to take all of our food products and ruin Ant Island, that's exactly why!"

Atta: "Wait just 1 minute. are you the new leader of the grasshoppers, Hopper Junior?"

Hopper Jr.: "Yeah, I sure am. I'm the new leader. ever since that wild bird ate my father, I'm taking over for him. now let's get right back to the chase. when's the fun thrilled party?"

Flik: "It's tomorrow afteroon. and we're not gonna have you and your pure evil gang destroy it!"

Hopper Jr.: "You can't always tell me what to do around here, Flik. I'm the leader right now. and there's nothing you can do about it."

Flik: "How exactly did you know my name?"

Hopper Jr.: "My father told me all about you and this colony right before he passed away. now you ants have a super good day 'cause we're coming to the harvest festival tomorrow afternoon. and I'm gonna become the king of Ant Island so we grasshoppers can get all of the food products we want. and to be with the lovely Atta as my wife."

Atta: [Gulps Nervously]

Hopper Jr.: "See you tomorrow afternoon, losers. now let's ride."

All of the grasshoppers fly right into mid-air and flies right outta the anthill and outta Ant Island and begins heading right back to their hideout.

Atta: "I guess we were absolutely right to find out that somebuggy would take over as the new leader for Hopper's gang after all, Flik."

Flik: "And without an unexpected doubt as well too. I just can't believe this. Hopper Junior's just as pure evil as Hopper was."

Dot: "Flik? did he really just say he wants to marry Atta and become the king of Ant Island?"

Flik: "He sure did, Dot, he sure did."

Cornelius: "This really can't be happening. I certainly don't want a grasshopper to be the king of ant island. what should we do right now?"

Mr. Soil: "Now, Cornelius, let's not get hysterical. I'm pretty sure Flik'll know exactly what to do if this really does happen. isn't that absolutely right, Flik?"

Flik: "Yes, of course.Mr. Soil's absolutely right, everybuggy. don't you all worry about it. just as long as I'm here to protect all of you and Atta and Dot and even Aphie. I won't let those grasshoppers destroy Ant Island. and Hopper Junior's never going to be the king of the colony and marry Atta. I'm the 1 who should be in that place since Atta's my 1 true love."

All Ants: [Cheering Wildly]

Atta: "I just knew that you wouldn't let me down, Flik."

Flik winks respectively at Atta.

Atta: "Flik's absolutley right, everybuggy. we're more grateful to have him as part of our colony as the official inventor. and 'cause of his bravery, he actually deserves to be a true leader along with me. I'm super proud of him."

All Ants: [Applauding]

Dot: "Oh, Flik. we'd be super lost without you."

Aphie: [Panting In Excitement]

### Back at PT Flea's bug circus tent

The circus bugs are still performing some super good performances. there's even a performance by Molt, the late Hopper's younger brother who now turned against Hopper and the other grasshoppers, who had joined the bug circus a year back to be the circus's strongbug.

PT Flea: "Now for the final performance, here's Manny and his lovely wife and assistant, Gypsy."

[Gong Clanging]

Manny and Gypsy enterthe ring for their magic performance.

Manny: "From the most mysterious regions of uncharted Asia. I give you the Chinese cabinet of metamorphosis. and now, I would like a volunteer to help me out with this super special magic performance."

Gypsy: "I wonder who he's gonna choose. he always knows exactly what he's doing."

Manny goes right over to the audience, covering his eyes, pointing his right pointer finger just as he moves it around, then stops and opens his eyes. his right pointer finger lands right on Scarlet.

Manny: "Why hello there, Ms. Ladybug. it looks like I chose you to be my volunteer."

Scarlet: "Who me?"

Manny: "Yes, of course. you. come with me while I take you to the Chinese cabinet of metamorphosis."

Manny walks Scarlet right into the ring and right over to the empty Chinese rice box.

Manny: "Now, my dear. why don't you get right inside the cabinet and Gypsy and I will do the magic. go on, don't be nervous."

Scarlet: "Alright, I'll go right in there."

Scarlet flies right into the empty Chinese rice box and sits right down on the bottom side.

Francis (from inside the empty Chinese rice box): "Hey, who's there?"

Scarlet: "Francis? it's me, Scarlet. what are you doing in here?"

Francis: "I'm just here for Manny's magic performance. I'm supposed to pop right outta this box when Manny says the magic words."

Scarlet: "Oh yeah. I see."

Francis: "Hey, do you mind if I sit right next to you 'til Manny sounds the signal?"

Scarlet: "No, Francis. I don't mind at all."

Manny: "Transformation. transformation. transformation."

Francis: "Uh oh. that's my cue. I gotta go right now, Scarlet."

Scarlet: "Francis, wait up!"

Just as the empty Chinese rice box magically bursts opened, Francis emerges right out of it and lands right in the ring.

Francis: ***Ta daaaaaaaaaaaa!***

[Crowd Cheering And Applauding Again]

Fly Number 3: "I don't see any difference at all. I still see a female ladybug."

Francis ignores the flies' comments and doesn't respond to them.

Manny: "Aren't I just amazingly the greatest performer of all times."

Fly Number 4: "You're giving us super big headaches!"

Fly Number 5: "get off the stage right now!"

Just like what Francis did, Manny just ignores the flies who are insulting him.

Scarlet: "Manny? Manny, can you please get me outta here? this box is shut real tight."

Manny: "No problem, Miss."

Manny and Gypsy tip the box right over and cause Scarlet to fall right out of it.

Scarlet: "Thanks a bunch."

Manny; "You're welcome. say, what's your name, young female ladybug?"

Scarlet: "I'm Scarlet."

Manny; "Well hello there, Scarlet. I'm super thrilled to meet you. Gypsy and I wanna thank you for participating in my magic performance."

Scarlet: "You're welcome, Manny. anytime."

(Brief pause)

Scarlet: "Where's Francis? I really wanna congratulate him."

Manny: "He's going way backstage."

Scarlet: "Oh thanks a bunch. hey, Francis! wait for me!"

Francis: "Oh hey, Scarlet. I'm terribly sorry I had to cut you off. I had to do the performance."

Scarlet: "That's no problem at all. I just wanna tell you how super good you were in the magic performance. you were like the greatest."

Francis: "Well thanks a bunch. you were too."

Scarlet: "Francis?"

Francis:"Yeah, Scarlet?"

Scarlet doesn't say anything. she pulls Francis right towards her and gives him a big and long 15 2nd kiss on the forehead. All Francis does is faint right on the ground.

Scarlet: [Chuckles A Bit]

Scarlet goes right back to her seat in the audience. Slim rushes in backstage with Heimlich following him around.

Slim: "Francis? what are you doing on the ground? are you alright?"

Heimlich: "Are you starving to death?"

Francis opens his eyes and sees Slim.

Francis: "You guys? I think I just got myself a 1 true love."

Slim: "What are you speaking about?"

Francis: "You remember Scarlet? that beautiful yellow ladybug that I met earlier?"

Slim: "Yeah? what about her?"

Heimlich: "Ja. vhat about her?"

Francis: "Well, you're not gonna believe this guys, but she actually kissed me."

Slim: "How super nice for you."

Heimlich: "Ja. I guess zat means she really likes you."

Francis: "Alright! I got myself a 1 true love! I finally got myself a 1 true love! and you guys don't! so lucky me!"

Francis runs away all super excited. he's super excited about going out with Scarlet.

Heimlich: "I sure vish I had a 1 true love like Francis does. if I had a 1 true love like Scarlet, she vould be a beautiful butterfly chust like me."

Slim: "So do I, Heimlich. so do I."

Rosie: "Hey, you guys. how 'bout heading right over to the Bug Bar and Grill for a lunch meal?"

Heimlich: "A lunch meal? oh ja, Rosie. I'm super hungry for some yummy good food around here."

Slim: "Alright then. let's go right over to the Bug Bar and Grill since the performance is officially over. come on, you guys. it's lunchtime."

### The Bug Bar and Grill

The circus bugs are all sitting right at a super big table chatting away while having their lunch meals.

Francis and Scarlet are sitting at another table.

Slim: "Wow, I can't believe this."

Rosie: "Neither can I."

Slim: "Isn't it kind of strange and yet wonderful?"

Heimlich: "Oh Ja. strange but vonderful."

Dim: "Dim think it wonderful."

Molt: "So do I."

Slim: "I do declare that this day has finally come. Francis has finally found his 1 true love."

Gypsy: "It's wonderful. and I thought nobuggy would wanna hang around with him. he's always been super angry and grouchy."

Manny: "Yes, of course, indeed. and now that Francis has found a 1 true love, I don't think he needs to worry about being called female any longer since Scarlet's a female ladybug and Francis is a male ladybug."

Slim: "You're exactly right, Manny."

Scarlet: "So Francis. I recently heard that those flies at the bug circus have been calling you female since you're a ladybug like me."

Francis: "Yeah right. it's super annoying with those pesky flies to think I'm female. I really wish they would just stop and realize that I'm not. say, Scarlet, do I look female to you?"

Scarlet: "Not at all, Francis. you look a lot more male to me. and you definitely sound male. I really love you just the way you are."

Francis: "You really do? why thanks a bunch. I never thought anybuggy would say things like that and accept who I really am."

Scarlet: "Well, I think you're a super nice bug. and boy, aren't you the bravest ladybug I met in my entire life."

Francis: "You really think so? well, I'm normally angry and upset all the time. but according to my best friends for life who say that and-"

Scarlet: "All of that really doesn't matter. all that really matters is the way you act like a gentlebug. you really know exactly how to treat a young ladybug with proper respect. I really love you, Francis."

Francis: "Oh, Scarlet. I really love you as well too."

Francis and Scarlet kiss 1 another.

The exact same flies from the bug circus arrive at the Bug Bar and Grill. they spot Francis and fly around right towards him.

Fly Number 6: "Hello there again, girly bug."

Francis doesn't say 1 single word.

Fly Number 7: "Why aren't you speaking? are you too nervous ever since you gave us that beating at the bug circus?"

Scarlet: "You leave Francis out of it! I'm the female here! not him! so if you revolting flies wanna call any other ladybugs female, you better do it to me! I'm not terrified of any of you!"

Scarlet uses her fists to throw a super big punch at every single 1 of the flies, knocking them out.

All Circus Bugs: [Gasping In Surprise And Amazement]

Slim: "My oh my! did you all see that? she's super brave, strong and heroic."

Molt: "Just like me."

Francis: "Wow, Scarlet. that was super thrilling. how exactly did you do that?"

Scarlet: "Well, Francis. I guess I just got the powerful strength to stand up to them. I'm terribly sorry that you had to go through all of this all the time."

Francis: "It's no big deal. ever since you knocked those flies out, they're probably gonna know from now on that you're the female and I'm not."

Scarlet: "Uh huh. so you're safe and secure. and I'm here to protect you as well too."

Francis kisses Scarlet on her forehead.

Scarlet: [Chuckles A Bit Again]

Scarlet kisses Francis on his forehead.

Francis now knows that everybuggy's not gonna call him female any longer now that he's got Scarlet on his side.

### Back on Ant Island/The Harvest Festival

The harvest festival's about to begin. But just right before the fun thrilled party, Atta announces that the colony must honor the former matriarch.

Atta: "Alright, everybuggy. right before we go out and begin the harvest festival, we must go right to the Council Chambers and have a memorial ceremony of our former queen of Ant Island: mine and Dot's mother. and I expect all of you to pay a super nice tribute for her in her memories."

They all follow Flik, Atta and Dot right through the Spiral Root in the anthill and right into the Council Chambers where they saw the grave of the former queen of Ant Island.

Atta: "Alright now, everybuggy. let's all take 1 single minute for 1 minute of silence to honor mine and Dot's mother."

She places a daisy right in front of the tombstone. the ants hold their hands together as always and stand silently for 1 single minute just as they stand right over the grave, as well as saying a praise in their minds.

Atta: "Super good work, everybuggy. I'm pretty sure mom would've been super thrilled now that we did something super nice for her in her memories."

Flik: "I kinda miss our former queen. she was a super good queen. and I'm pretty sure she would've been super thrilled to have me as her son-in-law."

Atta: "I agree with you here, Flik. she would've been super proud of both of us. but now let's not feel depressed and sorrowful any longer and go right back outside,"

Dot: "and begin the harvest festival."

The ants leave the ant hill and stand right outside of it.

Flik grabs a megaphone to help begin the fun thrilled party and gives it to Atta to use.

Atta: "Okay, everybuggy. are you prepared for Ant Island's very 1st annual harvest festival?"

All Other Ants: "Yeaaaaah!"

Flik: "Then let the harvest festival begin."

All Other Ants: "YAHOOOOOOOOO!"

Dot and Blueberry Scouts: "Alright!"

The harvest festival begins with lots of ants performing dance off party music in a super big ant band. Flik, Atta, Dot and all of the other ants are doing some fun thrilled games and activities and they all have some good snack foods and beverages. it's a super thrilling event.

Meanwhile at PT Flea's bug Circus, the circus bugs are preparing to go to Ant Island so they could perform a super big performance at the harvest festival.

Slim: "So which 1 have every single 1 of you planned to do at the harvest festival?"

PT Flea: "Like the usual, Slim. we're even gonna do our most popular flaming death performance as well."

All Circus Bugs: "Aw maaaaaaaan!"

Heimlich: "Not zat. I zink ve should impress everybuggy vith a super incredibly different performance. anyzing but ze flaming death, PT Flea."

Tuck and Roll come right by and show off another kind of performance by using 1 of the late Hopper's antennas: the only thing that was left from Hopper right after his deadly defeat from the wild bird. but PT Flea disapproves of it.

PT Flea: "No way! listen to me, all of you. the flaming death performance has been a super popular success ever since. I'm super serious. do the performance or you're all fired from the bug circus. that's a direct order."

The circus bugs nod their heads in agreement. just then, Scarlet comes right by them.

Scarlet: "Hi there, you guys."

All Circus Bugs: "Hi there, Scarlet."

Dim: "Hello there, Ms. Ladybug. Dim like Ms. Ladybug."

Scarlet: "And hello there to you, Francis."

Scarlet: [Kisses A Bit]

Francis: "Hi there, Scarlet. it's super good to see you again. did you have a super good time at the Bug Bar and Grill last evening?"

Scarlet: "I sure did, Francis. I really loved being there with you. especially since we were sitting together as always alone at the other table. so what are you guys up to?"

Rosie: "We're about to fly right over to Ant Island since there's a harvest festival going on there right now." would you like to come along with all of us, Scarlet?"

Scarlet: "Oh yes, of course I would like to join you guys. just as long as I got Francis there with me."

Francis: "You know I do, Scarlet."

PT Flea: "Okay, everybuggy. break a leg. let's go to the harvest festival."

All Circus Bugs and Scarlet: "Yes, PT Flea."

Tuck and Roll: "You fired!" .

Slim: "Let's hitch up the circus wagon."

Gypsy: "Don't forget everything for our magic performance, Manny."

Manny: "Yes, of course, my dear sweet wife. I would be super honored to do a super special magic performance for our best friends for life: the ants."

Manny realizes that Francis and Scarlet are both missing.

Manny: "Hold it right now. where are Francis and Scarlet?"

Slim: "Come on, Francis and Scarlet. it's time to go right now. we're waiting for the 2 of you."

Francis: "Come on, Scarlet. time for us to go to the harvest festival on Ant Island."

Scarlet: "Alright, Francis. let's go."

They all board the circus wagon and Francis and Scarlet take off in mid-air together as always just as the others do.

Dim carries the circus wagon with his legs while PT Flea sits right in front holding the shoelace reins of the 2 millipedes. and the entire bug circus begins flying right over to Ant Island to join all of the ants at the harvest festival.

### Back on Ant Island/Performing at the harvest festival

The ants see the circus bugs.

Ants: [Cheering And Applauding]

(Bug Circus Music In Background)

Dot: "Look, everybuggy. It's PT Flea and his circus bugs!"

Blueberry Scout Number 1: "And there's Francis."

Dot and Blueberry Scouts: "Yahooooooooo!"

Dot and her Blueberry Scout troop run right over to Francis and Scarlet.

Francis: "Hey there, Dot and girls, how's it going? did you all miss me?"

Dot: "Francis? who's that bright yellow ladybug next to you?"

Francis: "Dot? Blueberry Scouts? this is my 1 true love, Scarlet."

Scarlet: "Hi there Dot and Blueberry Scouts. it's nice meeting you here."

Dot and Blueberry Scouts: [Chuckling A Bit]

Flik: "Hi there, Francis, what's new? oh? I see that you got yourself a 1 true love, didn't you?"

Francis: "Yeah. I sure did. Flik, meet Scarlet. Scarlet, meet Flik."

Flik: "Hi there, Scarlet. it's such a pleasure meeting you here. I'm Flik,"

Scarlet: "It's nice meeting you here too, Flik."

Flik: "And this is my 1 true love, Atta."

Scarlet: "Hi there, Your Highness."

Atta: [Chuckles A Bit] "Just call me Atta."

Mr. Soil: "Atta? do we have enough food products for ourselves and the grasshoppers as well?"

Atta: "Hmmm...let me go check. (She looks right at the super big leaf full of grains, berries, and sweet peas. yeah. we sure got plenty of them."

Mr. Soil: "Well, that's super good to know, Your Highness. but I just wish the grasshoppers can find food products for themselves instead of having us be their slaves."

Atta: "We know. so do I."

Flik: "But what if they-"

[Grasshoppers Buzzing In Distance]

All Ants and Circus Bugs: [Gasping In Fear]

Aphie: [Barking In Alarm]

Atta: "Oh my word! it's the grasshoppers again! they came right back for us! and there's even more than before!"

Manny: "Oh dear! not them again!"

Cornelius: "Run away for your entire lives!"

The Ants and Circus bugs run away from the grasshoppers just as fast as their legs can carry them and hide away.

Hopper Jr.: "Well. I can see that there's a fun thrilled party going on around here."

Flik: "What are you doing here, Hopper Jr.? we told you that you weren't invited."

Hopper Jr.: "Oh, but I'm not here to attack any of you just yet. I'm here to crash your fun thrilled party. and I got some more grasshoppers to help me out. I got more than my father always had in his entire life."

Dot: "No way! you can't do that!"

Atta: "Don't worry about it, Dot. we won't let those grasshoppers attack you. we promise you'll be alright."

Flik: "Hopper Jr.'s just causing us more trouble 'cause he's just being selfish."

Dr. Flora: "Your Highness. we need to do something about those grasshoppers."

Atta: "We know, Dr. Flora. we know."

Thorny: "But what? there's way too many grasshoppers to fight off."

Hopper Jr.: "There's no time to waste. it's time to destroy this harvest festival and ruin the entire celebration. Chaaaaaarge!"

Hopper Jr. and all of the grasshoppers begin terrorizing the ants by chasing them around all over the place. Soon, they go hovering right above the ants, trying to capture them.

All Ants And Circus Bugs: [Screaming In Fear]

PT Flea: "This is a crazy catastrophe! I thought those pure evil grasshoppers would never come back here or have a new leader to take over Hopper's place!"

Molt: "Well, I didn't even realize my brother, Hopper had a son to take over his place! I guess I was wrong."

Flik: "You guys! it's Hopper Jr.! he's become the new grasshopper leader ever since Hopper's deadly defeat!"

Scarlet: "Stand back, everybuggy! I'll give those grasshoppers 1 single piece of my mind!"

Scarlet's just about to run right over to the grasshoppers when Francis stops her and pulls her way back.

Francis: "No, Scarlet! don't do it!"

Scarlet: "But something needs to be done, Francis!"

Francis: "Scarlet, I don't want you to get injured! those grasshoppers are tougher than those flies!"

Slim: "But Scarlet's absolutely right, Francis! something needs to be finished! we just can't let those grasshoppers destroy all of the fun and excitement!"

A few minutes later, Hopper Jr. and his gang grab all of the food products and fly right into mid-air.

Hopper Jr.: "So long, you little maggots. I'll be right back. so you better have more food products or you're all doomed for the rest of your entire life. we'll be watching all of you. and especially you, Flik."

Hopper Jr.: [Pure Evil Chuckle]

Hopper Jr. and his gang fly away right back to their hideout.

Flik: "Well. I'm super lucky that's over for now."

Slim: "That sure was a closer 1."

Atta: "Dot? are you alright?"

Dot: "Yeah, Atta. I really think so. man, Hopper Jr.'s just as mean and tough as Hopper was himself."

Scarlet: "I didn't realize that those grasshoppers were tougher and meaner than those flies. you were absolutely right, Francis."

Francis: "See? I told you so. are you alright?"

Scarlet: "Of course I'm alright. thanks a bunch, Francis."

PT Flea: "Say, are we gonna do this circus performance or what?"

Slim: "Why of course we are, PT Flea. let the bug circus begin."

Dot: "Super thrilling. let's go watch the bug circus."

All of the circus bugs go right into their positions right at the center of Ant Island just as all of the ants including Scarlet sit around the entire performance in the audience. PT Flea jumps right out on the center of the ring and takes a bow himself.

PT Flea: "Greetings and salutations, everybuggy. I'm the great PT Flea. and I'm here to present to you the greatest show you'll ever see in your entire lives. ladies and gentlebugs. presenting PT Flea's bug circus."

[Crowd Cheering Wildly]

PT Flea: "Thanks a bunch, thanks a bunch to all of you. and now, for our 1st performance: flaming death."

[Crowd Cheering Wildly Again]

The circus bugs begin performing the flaming death performance just as PT Flea lights the trail of matches that are lined up.

[Crowd Cheering and Waving Wildly Again]

Dot: "Oh my gosh! that was super thrilling!"

Atta: "It sure was, Dot. it sure was."

Flik: "Super thrilling."

Scarlet: "That's my dear sweet Francis."

Francis winks at Scarlet.

PT Flea: "Thanks a bunch. thanks a bunch to all of you here. you're super nice and respective."

Manny: "Can we not do that again for today this time? I wanna do my magic performance."

PT Flea: "Alright. whatever you say, Manny. but make it more faster. we got more performances for these ants here."

Manny does a magic performance with Gypsy and Tuck and Roll do a few acrobatic moves and performances with the late Hopper's leftover antenna as their weapon, Molt lifts some heavy objects, Rosie performs her rhinoceros beetle taming act with Dim, and Heimlich, Francis, and Slim do some entertainment and tell a few jokes with their clown around performance.

PT Flea: "I hope you all enjoyed the show, everybuggy. thanks a bunch for coming to see the greatest performance in the entire universe. you been a super fantastic audience. goodnight to all of you."

All Circus Bugs: "Wait up!"

PT Flea: "Now what?"

Slim: "Can't we just stay a bit longer at the harvest festival? just for a bit?"

Molt: "Yeah. we just got here!"

Dot: "Yeah. let them stay for a bit."

Dim: "Dim no wanna leave."

PT Flea: "Alright. okay. fine. we can stay here. but just for a bit. we got another performance to do tomorrow afternoon. you got that?"

Francis: "Not again. come on, PT Flea. can't you just give us 1 single relaxing break?"

PT Flea: "No. of course not. you guys are making me cash. and you're making me the richest and the greatest. listen closely to my words. If I give you guys more time off, that means no cash. and you all know how much I really love cash. so I want my cash and I wanna get it."

All Circus Bugs: "Awwwwwwwww!"

PT Flea: "Don't make me fire all of you again."

All Circus Bugs: [Sighing Heavily]

The ants on Ant Island continue enjoying the harvest festival despite the grasshoppers' attacks. and none of the grasshoppers come back for the rest of the entire day. not even their new leader of their pack, Hopper Jr.

### The grasshoppers' hideout

Hopper Jr. and the other grasshoppers are trying to think about another plan to get revenge on the ants ever since Hopper passed away due to a wild bird attack.

Hopper Jr.: "Let's see now. what to do around here. what to do around here."

Experion: "What do you think we should do right now, boss?"

Hopper Jr.: "I just said the exact same thing, Experion. now. how to get revenge. revenge. revenge. hmmm. I got it."

All Grasshoppers: "What is it?"

Hopper Jr.: "I remember. right before my father passed away. I remember seeing him trying to choke that bright blue ant who stood up to him."

Jumper: "What ant, boss?"

Hopper Jr.: "Flik. and Flik mentioned that he built a false bird to terrify my father. then the real bird came when Flik said it was 1 of his wild bird tricks. so that means Flik's responsible for killing my father off. and he actually meant to kill him off for good."

All Grasshoppers: "Whooooooooa."

Thumper: "So what's the plan, boss?"

Hopper Jr.: "You see? we're gonna get rid of Flik."

All Grasshoppers: [Gasping In Shock] "Get rid of Flik?"

Hopper Jr.: "Listen here, my henchman. it's the only way to punish him and the other ants for killing my father off."

Stoungy: "But Flik's got his inventions that help the ants give us the food products. we can't kill him off. you're completely crazy."

Hopper Jr.: "I'm the boss here. and we're gonna do as I say. is that understood?"

The grasshoppers nod their heads in agreement.

Hopper Jr.: "Now we're gonna get rid of Flik whether you like it or not. so who's with me?"

All of the grasshoppers raise their hands.

Hopper Jr.: "Very well then. let's go."

Hopper Jr. and all of the grasshoppers fly right outta the hideout and head right over back to Ant Island so they can do their plan and get revenge on them.

### PT Flea's bug circus (afternoon time)

The circus bugs have already left the harvest festival ever since PT Flea made them leave super early so they can practice another performance for their next performance. However, Francis isn't really concentrating on his performance since he's concentrating on Scarlet.

PT Flea: "Francis! concentrate on your performance!"

Francis: "Sorry 'bout that."

Scarlet: "I'm terribly sorry that you need to do this every single day. it must be backbreaking work. and PT Flea's always super serious."

Francis: "It's not a big deal. really, Scarlet. I'm used to it."

Scarlet: "If you don't like practicing this much like this every single hour, you should just quit your job and leave the bug circus."

Francis: "But I can't do that, Scarlet. the bug circus is my entire life. and it's my only career. and besides, I really love entertaining everybuggy. and I really love it when you come to see the performance. you know what, Scarlet? ever since I 1st met you, I been super thrilled lately."

Scarlet: "You really have? but I thought you were always angry and upset and-"

Francis: "I'm less like that right now. especially towards you. you see? I didn't wanna show my aggression towards you. 'cause if I did, you wouldn't even like me at all. so I tried to be just as kind and respective as a ladybug should always be. that way, you can still have a super good impression about me."

Scarlet: "Well. I think you did a super good job doing that, Francis. I'm super impressed."

Francis: "Thanks a bunch. I'm super thrilled I found you, Scarlet. and with you right by my side, I'll never need to worry about being called female ever again. I really love you more than anything."

Scarlet: "Oh thanks a bunch, Francis. I really love you as well too."

The 2 ladybugs look right at 1 another in the eyes with twinkling lights and give 1 another passionates kisses.

PT Flea: "Francis! stop that kissing and sweet speaking with your 1 true love and get back to work. we got a performance coming up."

Francis: "Oh. yes, kind sir. I'm coming, PT Flea. sorry to say this, Scarlet. I need to get right back to work on the circus performance right now. but don't worry about it, you can still watch me perform it. I'll speak with you later on."

Scarlet: "Alright. I understand. you probably don't wanna let good ol' PT Flea down. but I know you'll be the greatest. good luck with your next performance."

### Back on Ant Island/cleaning up right after the harvest festival celebration

The ants are cleaning up the place right after the harvest festival celebration.

Flik: "That sure was a fun thrilled party. wasn't it, Atta?"

Atta: "It sure was, Flik. except for when the grasshoppers crashed the harvest festival."

Flik: "It's no big deal, Atta. at least it's officially over from now on."

Atta: "You sure got a point."

Flik and Atta sit right down together as always on the root of a super big tree and look right at the moon rising right into the evening skies. then a few minutes later, the evening skies went dark. Flik decides it was time to go right back into the anthill.

Flik: "It's getting late, Atta. what do you say we begin heading for bed?"

Atta: "Why sure, Flik. [Yawns A Bit] I'm getting tired right after such a super long day."

Dot: "Yeah right. I'm really super tired. I'm going right to bed. goodnight, Flik. goodnight, Atta."

Atta: "Goodnight, Dot,"

Flik: "have a super good beauty sleep."

Dot goes right inside the anthill, goes right into her bedroom and falls asleep in her bed.

Then all of the ants on Ant Island go right into the anthill and fall asleep waiting for a brand new day ahead of them.

The very next morning, all of the ants wake up and begin doing their jobs by getting food products for themselves and the grasshoppers as well.

Dot: "Seriously? why can't the grasshoppers learn that they should collect food products for themselves?"

Atta: "I just wish they would, Dot."

Blueberry Scout Number 1: "It's just like we're their every single day slaves."

Blueberry Scout Number 2: "You sure got that right. this is just torture."

Flik: "I don't like this 1 bit either. but we need to do this or the grasshoppers would be angry and upset and threaten another terrible and horrible incident like yesterday afternoon."

All of a sudden, lots of shadow figures come right above the ants. It's Hopper Jr. and the rest of his grasshopper army.

Atta: "Oh my word! it's them! hide me, Flik!"

Flik: "Don't worry about it, Atta! I'll protect you and the others! everybuggy Into the anthill!"

But right before they can reach the anthill, Hopper Jr. swoops right over Atta, grabs her, and flies away with her as well.

Atta: "Flik! help me! help meeeeeeee!"

Flik: "Atta! NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Hopper Jr.: "So long, pathetic losers."

Hopper Jr.: [Laughs Pure Evilly]

Mr. Soil: "Oh dear me! this is terrible and horrible! whatever are we gonna do, Flik?!? the queen's been kidnapped!"

Dot: "Yeah right! we gotta do something about it! we gotta rescue my sister right away!"

Dr. Flora: "But how exactly are we gonna do that?!?"

Flik: "I don't know. I can't get her right away 'cause I can't fly around!"

Dot: "I just wish the circus bugs were here. they can save the day like always."

All Circus Bugs: "Have no fear! PT Flea's bug circus is here!"

Flik: "Whoa! how exactly did you guys get here super fast?!?"

Manny: "Just a bit of magic."

Dim: "Maaagic."

Tuck and Roll: "You fired!"

Heimlich: "Helloooooooo!"

The ants are super thrilled to see the circus bugs again.

Flik: "Oh yeah. magic is super thrilling. but enough of that! my 1 true love was taken away by Hopper Jr.! and I need to get her back here right before he proposes to her to become the king of Ant Island! would you guys help me out here?!?"

Slim: "Why of course, Flik. we're always here to help fight those grasshoppers off and make them cry and beg for mercy."

Francis: "You can always count on us, buddy."

Flik: Thanks, Francis."

Gypsy: "But let's hurry up right now! we need to rescue her! I can see exactly where Hopper Jr.'s flying around with her!"

Scarlet: "Leave this 1 to me, you guys! I'll go rescue her!"

Francis: "Scarlet, wait for us! we're coming right with you! we don't want you to rescue her on your own! you might get injured!"

Hopper Jr.'s still flying away super fast, grabbing Atta by her right wrist tightly. and he doesn't even notice Scarlet and Francis following them around. Atta turns herself around and notices Francis and Scarlet following right behind her and Hopper Jr. The 2 ladybugs grab Atta right outta Hopper Jr.'s grasp and flies right back with her.

Atta: "Francis?!? Scarlet?!?"

Scarlet: "Don't worry about it, Atta! we're here to rescue you!"

Francis: "That's exactly right! and we're here to teach those grasshoppers a super good lesson! now come on! let's get you back home to Ant Island!"

Hopper Jr.'s now angry and upset. he begins flying right back down towards Francis and Scarlet who are super-fast than him and carry Atta right back to the colony.

Hopper Jr.: "Hey, you! come back here, you annoying little termites! give me back Atta! she's my soon-to-be wife! and you're not gonna take her away from me!"

Scarlet: "Oh yes we are!"

Francis: "And we happen to be ladybugs, not annoying termites!"

Francis and Scarlet: "Save it for jury duty, Hopper Jr.!"

Scarlet: "Now come on, Atta let's get you back home to Ant Island!"

Atta, Scarlet, and Francis reach the ground. Everybuggy's overjoyed to see Atta back safe and secure.

Flik: "Atta! oh thank goodness! are you alright?!? I was super worried and nervous he was gonna attack you!"

Atta: "Well of course I'm alright, Flik. thanks a bunch."

Flik: "No problem. but right now, let's get right back to the-"

Hopper Jr. snatches Flik away from Atta, wraps his hands right around Flik's throat and begins choking him a bit.

[Crowd Gasping In Fear]

Hopper Jr.: "You really think it's over yet? listen here, Flik. she's mine. I'm gonna marry Atta and become the king of Ant Island. And you won't. [Snaps His Fingers] Thumper, kill Flik!"

Thumper jumps right behind Flik.

Thumper: "Just as you wish boss."

Thumper begins beating Flik up with all his might. He kicked Flik in the back, knocking him down across the ground. Then, he punched Flik in the chest, knocking him backwards.

Flik: "Yooooooow!" Ow, stop that! stop that!"

Thumper throws 1 final punch and knocks Flik right out on the ground.

[Crowd and Circus bugs Gasping In Shock]

Atta: "No! Flik! no!"

Atta runs right over to Flik whose eyes are closed and his entire body looks like its motionless, but not really.

Atta: [Angry] "What have you done to him?!?!"

Hopper Jr. smiles sneakingly without saying another word. Atta's eyes filled with tears.

Atta: "Flik. Flik? wake up. Please wake up."

Flik doesn't wake up. He can't even move one single muscle. He's covered in cuts and bruises. Flik even has both of his eyes blackened.

[The Crowd and Circus bugs Are Gasping In Alarm And They Grieve For The Loss Of Flik]

Dot holds Alphie in her arms and starts mourning the loss of Flik. But Atta was the saddest of all. Atta held Flik in her arms and hugged him tightly. Atta suddenly started crying.

Atta: [Crying] "No... no! NO!!! FLIK!!! PLEASE!!! Speak to me! Please don't die! Don't leave me, Flik! I LOVE YOU!"

Flik regains consciousness and opens his eyes up.

Flik: [Coughing A Bit]

Flik: "Atta? is that really you? are you alright?"

Atta sees Flik waking up and becomes overjoyed. Flik's still alive and kicking. Atta snuggles up with him super tightly.

Atta: "Flik! thank goodness you're still alive! You're still alive!"

[Crowd Cheering Wildly]

All Other Ants: "Yahoooooooooooo!"

Atta: "Oh, Flik. we thought you were deceased,"

Dot: "We thought we lost you for good."

Flik: "Well, at least I'm still here."

Atta: "I'm so thrilled you are."

Dot: "So am I."

Aphie: [Barking In Excitement]

Flik: "Hey, where'd Hopper Jr. go? is he still here trying to kill us off?"

They all turn to see Scarlet who's beating up Hopper Jr. with all of her might. She throws her fist at him.

Scarlet: "How'd you like that?!?! HUH?!?!"

Scarlet grabs a little stick and hits Hopper Jr. right in the side with it like a baseball bat, knocking him right to the ground. the Blueberry Scouts arrived and begin throwing bright red berries all over Hopper Jr.

Scarlet: "I bet you like that 1 too! this can teach you a super important lesson on trying to kill my best friends for life off! take this! and that! and take this and that, you cold-hearted brute!"

Flik: "Alright!"

Atta: "go, Scarlet!"

All Circus Bugs: "Go get him, Scarlet!"

Tuck and Roll: "Charge ya!"

Tuck and Roll pound right down on Hopper Jr. and begin pulling his antennas.

Right after a few more minutes of Scarlet beating Hopper Jr., Hopper Jr's now covered with bruises and scratches. he's now too stiff and weak to move around.

Scarlet: "There. that'll show you."

Hopper Jr.: "Yooooowwww."

Loco: "Let's get outta here right before that ladybug tries to kill us off!"

All of the grasshoppers fly away from Ant Island and to a far away place. Flik places Hopper Jr. right on his new daisy catapult and releases the lever.

Flik: "Goodbye, Hopper Jr.!"

Dot: "Happy trails!"

Hopper Jr.: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Hopper Jr. flies far away from Ant Island.

[Crowd and Circus bugs Laughing In Excitement]

Slim: "How exactly did she do that, Francis?"

Francis: "I guess my 1 true love's tough on grasshoppers like she is with the flies. [Chuckles A Bit] she's super tough. a super tough ladybug just like me."

Rosie: "That's super thrilling that you're both super tough."

Heimlich: "Ja. very tough indeed."

Thorny: "I never thought a ladybug like you could be super tough on those grasshoppers."

Scarlet: "Oh, it wasn't too much of anything. [Chuckles Nervously] but it was worth it."

Francis: "That's my brave young gal."

Scarlet smiles a bit and pulls his Francis's face right towards her and kisses him a bit. Francis is feeling super thrilled but yet super dizzy just as hearts are all around him.

PT Flea: "Wow, Scarlet. I'm super impressed. you sure know exactly how to kick some grasshopper behind."

Scarlet: "Why thanks a bunch, PT Flea."

That evening, right after the final battle fight and defeat of Hopper Junior, all of the ants and circus bugs go right into the anthill.

Atta: "You really did it, Flik."

Flik smiles a bit.

Mr. Soil: "I need to say it, my dear boy. you're once again our brave young hero,"

Gypsy: "And you're a super good inventor who builds things that help your colony out and things that protect them as well."

Flik: "Thanks a bunch, you guys."

Thornyh: "Whatever would we do without Flik to invent something like this to make our entire lives much better? there would be no Ant Island at all."

Cornelius: "You're absolutely right, Thorny. we collect all of the food products that we need faster than we usually do."

Dot: "As for our best friend for life, Flik'll always be right here for me and Atta. isn't that absolutely right, Flik?"

Flik smiles a bit at Dot and winks right at Atta.

Atta: "That's exactly right, Dot. we got super close ever since the final battle fight with those grasshoppers."

Rosie: "And that's a super good thing, Dot. with you as the young teenage princess and your sister as the queen of Ant Island, you'll always have Flik like he's part of your entire family."

Slim: "Yeah. part of the entire family."

Scarlet: "Oh yeah. talk about relationships."

Flik: "Speaking of true family and relationships. Atta?"

Atta: "Yeah, Flik?"

Flik: "I really think it's time."

Atta: "Huh, what? time for what?"

Flik kneels right down right before Atta. he takes out a wedding ring made outta tiny grass blades with golden gems on it just as he holds it right out to Atta.

Flik: "Atta? will you marry me?"

Atta can't believe her eyes. she smiles a bit just as she takes the wedding ring.

Atta: "Oh, Flik. of course I'll marry you."

Flik and Atta snuggle up with 1 another and give 1 another a super big kiss as well.

[Crowd and Circus bugs Cheering And Applauding Again]

Dr. Flora: "Oh how wonderful. we're gonna have a wedding ceremony on Ant Island. and we're going to have our king of Ant Island!"

Dot: "Oh my gosh. Flik's gonna become my brother-in-law."

The ants and circus bugs begin preparing for Flik and Atta's wedding ceremony.

### Flik and Atta's wedding ceremony

The wedding ceremony's decorated outside the anthill with banners and sparkle dust. the wedding ceremony for Flik and Atta's about to begin.

Francis: "Isn't this super thrilling, Dr. Flora?"

Dr. Flora: "Yes, Francis, of course it is. I just can't believe Atta and Flik are getting married. and Flik's gonna be our king of Ant Island."

Dot: [Sighs Heavily] "Mom would've been super proud of Flik and Atta if she was still here."

Dr. Flora: "Oh don't worry about it, Dot. at least you still have your sister and your soon to be brother-in-law. but right now, the wedding ceremony's about to begin."

[Wedding Ceremony Music In Background]

Dot walks right up the aisle to the altar dressed as a teenage flower girl. Tuck and Roll go right up the aisle to the altar dressed as ring bearers carrying the wedding ring. Gypsy walks right up the aisle to the altar dressed as a bridesmaid. Manny walks right up the aisle to the altar dressed as a best man. Rosie goes walking right up the aisle to the altar dressed as a maid of honor. Dim comes walking right up the aisle to the altar dressed as a groomsman.

Mr. Soil stands right in the center of the altar with the flower girl, the ring barriers, the best man, the bridesmaid, the maid of honor and the groomsman all standing right in position on the altar.

Slim: "You look super beautiful, Your Highness.

Francis is sitting right next to Scarlet right at the front of the aisle. he smiles a bit and winks right at Dot just as he and Scarlet admire how super beautiful she really looks as the teenage flower girl.

Mr. Soil: "We're all here today, to encourage, celebrate and support the cheerfulness of these 2 ants: Flik and Atta, who are gonna make and share in the joy and excitement that experience just as they pledge their true love and respect to 1 another."

Mr. Soil looks right at Flik.

Mr. Soil: "Flik, do you take Atta here to be your lawful wedded wife? to have and to hold? for rich or for poor? for good or for ill? will you promise to really love her? console her? honor her and keep her in sickness and in health? and forsake of all others? keep the only unto her? so just as long as you both shall live?"

Flik: "I do."

Mr. Soil: "And, Atta. do you take Flik here to be your lawful wedded husband? to have and to hold? for rich or for poor? for good or for ill? will you promise to really love him? console him? honor him and keep him in sickness and in health? and forsake of all others? keep the only unto him? so just as long as you both shall live?"

Atta: "I do." .

Tuck and Roll hold out the wedding ring to Manny. Manny takes the wedding ring and hands it right over to Mr. Soil. Mr. Soil hands the wedding ring right over to Flik. Flik places the wedding ring right on Atta's right ring finger and smiles a bit at her lovingly.

Mr. Soil: "I now pronounce you the king and queen of Ant Island. you can now kiss the bride."

Flik and Atta give 1 another super big long kisses.

[Crowd and Circus bugs Cheering And Applauding Again]

Scarlet: "Oh, Francis! I never been super thrilled in my entire life to go to a wedding ceremony with you."

Francis: "Neither have I. how would you like to have our wedding ceremony like this 1?"

But before Scarlet can reply, Slim rushes right over and picks up the ladybug couple.

Slim: "Come on, you 2. it's time for the super big celebration right after the wedding ceremony."

At the wedding ceremony party, Flik and Atta romantically dance around with 1 another celebrating their entire day. Manny and Gypsy join in with them. Francis and Scarlet come along. there's lots of dancing, singing, speaking, food, and even fun thrilled games to play around.

Atta: "Okay, everybuggy! who wants to play the old flower bouquet game?!?"

All Ants and Circus Bugs: "We do!"

Atta: "Good! okay! get prepared! 3...2...1.......go!"

Atta throws the wedding flowers right behind her and right towards the entire crowd. All of the female bugs run right over to the wedding flowers trying to capture it. Scarlet catches them at last.

Francis: "Hey, way to go, Scarlet."

Blueberry Scouts: "Yahoo for Scarlet!"

Scarlet: "Well, Francis, it looks like we're the next 1s to be married to 1 another. oh yeah!"

Francis: "You really said it. we sure are."

[Crowd Laughing And Cheering Wildly]

Dim: "Dim like fun thrilled parties."

Heimlich: "Ja. so do I."

Flik and Atta walk around together as always hand in hand and climb right aboard on Dim's back.

Flik: "I really love you, Atta."

Atta: "I really love you as well too, Flik."

[Crowd Cheering Wildly]

### End Credits/Outtakes and Bloopers Clip

***Directed by Josh Cooley***

Director: "Speed! Marker! Take 10! And action!"

Mr. Soil (waving hello to Flik): "Hey there, Flik!"

Flik: "Oh hi there, Mr. Soil. what brings you here?"

Mr. Soil: "I'm here to tell you that we're planning to have-"

Mr. Soil: [Coughing A Bit]

Flik: "Can we please get some cough drops on the set?!?!"

Director: "Cut. Yes we can."

***Produced by Andrew Stanton and Jonas Rivera***

Director: "Take 20! And action!"

Francis: "Listen here, fly boys! I'm not gonna take this constant teasing and rudeness from you any longer! I'm not female! I'm a-wait, what's my line again?"

Director: "Cut! You must say "*I'm a male ladybug! you think you're intelligent?!?! So knock it off right now and know that, got it?!" and I mean that*. Last chance."

***Screenplay written by Stephany Folsom, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter***

Director: "Action!"

PT Flea: "Darn you pathetic losers! what's the matter with you crazy cowards?! you're messing up for the 12th time!"

PT Flea looks like he's speaking to Francis, Heimlich, Rosie, Dim, Gypsy, Manny, Tuck and Roll, but instead, he's speaking to Wheezy from the *Toy Story* film series.

Wheezy: "Was I super good? Do I really get the part in the next movie?"

Director: "Cut! who put the little squeak toy penguin on the set? Security, kick the penguin out!"

The security pick Wheezy up.

Wheezy: "No! No no no no no no no! I'm part of this movie! You can't throw me out!"

The security didn't care about what Wheezy was saying and they literally toss Wheezy out of the studio.
