So when we got home after school... well, let's just say I'd meet a different Queen before the Ladybug one.

"Meete, Techrot, the Bee Queen wishes to see you," a human in a bee custume announced sternly.

"What did we do this time?" Techrot seemed bored, shifting his antenna around.

"Meete ate more honey and babies."

"Food!-" Meete began to scream, but Techrot held his arm in front of him.

"When did this occur?"

"Yesterday, 5 p.m."

"That's impossible. Meete was with me at that time. It was someone else, though I don't know who else is stupid enough to eat babies."

"Tell it to the Queen, Techrot."

He sighed, "Girl, would you like to come?"

"Uh, sure."

So that's how I was brought to the Bee Queen's Palace.

Flying was a nice experience.

"Meete was with me, Your Highness," Techrot stated in front of the giant Bee. "It was impossible for him to commit the crime."

She seemed like a bi***, sarcastic, rude, and absolutely pi**ed, "Right. There is no one besides you two that eat my young. They were newborns, I'm sure you know. How many bees are to die this year? You know how long it takes for baby bees to be produced."

"I know, Your Highness, but Meete did no such-"

"Foo-" Meete almost jumped on a baby bee, but Techrot held his arm.

"Not food, Meete. Anyway, Your Highness, I know Meete is-"

"Hm? Ah, Techwah?"

"What now, Meete?"

"Onii-chan," Meete turned to him happy.

"Wha-"

Just then, everything crashed on us.

"Oh good Lord, Meete!!" Techrot screamed, "Why couldn't you have warned me sooner?!!"

What? Mekrot's-

I turned around and met a boy that looked quite a bit like Meete only tinier.

He sniffed my hair, "Pollen?" his eyes sparkled.

N-No way- Meete's-

"Lotten!! Get off her this instant!! She has absolutely no pollen!!"

"I smell it," the boy said, content.

Is it just me, or is this boy smarter than Meete?

"What you smell is girl eggs, Lotten!!"

"Whatever."

"Onii-chan!!!!" both Meete and 'Lotten' squealed, attacking each other with a hug.

"Good Lord," Techrot grumbled, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Well, I suppose we solved the mystery of who ate the babies."

"What?" I asked.

"Girl-"

"Katenoki," I corrected him expressionlessly, absolutely annoyed that he won't say my name.

"Allow me to introduce Meete's little brother, Lottion. Though he prefers Lotten."

"It's just like Onii-chan's name!!" he chirped.

Um, no it's not.

"He has a comprehensible number of types in him, unlike Meete, but they are extremely alike."

"I can definitely see that. Stupid just like him."

"Thanks for the compliment!!" they chirped together.

JUST like him.

"Are they twins?" I asked, annoyed.

"No."

"They act like it."

"Lotten, what are you doing here?" Techrot asked, ignoring my comment.

"Hm? Ah, yesterday, I got a good meal here. They were tasty!!" he grinned widely.

"Yes, well, your actions got your big brother in trouble. Don't eat baby bees or honey. In fact, don't eat ANYTHING here unless you're asked or told to by someone OTHER THAN MEETE."

"Eh? I got Onii-chan in trouble?" he asked worriedly. "I'm sorry, Onii-chan."

"I don't know what trouble you got," Meete replied, obviously having no clue what was going on.

"Okay, Tech-nee-chan-"

Nee-chan?

"I won't eat anything here."

"How many times have I told you that I am male? In which I would be 'nii'?"

"I don' know." Techrot sighed in exasperation.

Wow, this boy's stupid just like Meete.

"Your Highness, Lotten is the culprit. He's the only other person stupid enough to think bee babies are food."

"Food? Where?" Meete asked.

"What babies?" Lotten sighed. Techrot just sighed at both of their comments.

Wait, isn't Techrot giving up Lotten for Meete? Is he that obsessed with justice? Or is it something else?

What will the Bee Queen... do to Lotten?

"Alright, fine, I suppose I need no evidence or such- he just confessed. Lottion, you will be punished."

My breath was cold, barely moving in my throat.

Neither Meete nor Lottion knew what was going on, but I wasn't that stupid.

"Three years in prison."

My breath then got swiped out of me.

"In pollen?!" both Meete and Lotten exclaimed in excitement, "Yaaaay!!!"

Still, neither understood...

That Lotten would be confined.

Just five minutes after I meet this boy, Meete's little brother, he goes to prison.

I won't see the poor little guy until three years from now.

IF I even am still housing them three years from now.

I just realized.

What will happen when Meete and Techrot leave? I've already become so close to them....

Why can't I be with them forever? Why do they have to travel around?

I want to be with them. Forever.

They're my friends.
