Chaptter 8- The Bus Ride
The Butterfly House was currently closed, after Meete's little...
Whatever it was.
"Hey, Techrot, after school, can we meet one of the Insect Queens or Kings?"
"Which would you like to meet?" he asked expressionlessly.
I thought.
Butterfly Queen's obviously out of question- Techrot wouldn't allow it.
The Ant Queen works people hard- I don't want that.
Obviously, the Spider Queen's one of the worst choices.
Perhaps I can meet the Grasshopper King.
Bee Queen's ou- wait a second.
"What does the Bee Queen think of humans?"
He shrugged, "Actually, she's quite fond. All she really cares about are her children. That's why bees often attack humans- they are allowed to, and even encouraged to, if they feel in danger. Also, a lot of bees hurt humans to tick her off."
...
Okay then.
It would be fun to see how the Bee Queen and them converse....
But it would also be cool to see a Pair like the Tick King and Queen. But at the same time, I kinda don't want all the blood sucked out of me.
Speaking of which-
"What insect type do you have, Techrot?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Merely a few. I am 10% tick, 6% Walking Stick, and 13% grasshopper."
Whoa.
"So the Grasshopper King likes you?"
"Not quite. In fact, he hates me."
Okay then. I'm not-
"My father had sex with his date."
Twitch, twitch.
Huh, so insects cheat on their dates, too....
"He was part Grasshopper and part Walking Stick. His parents had mixed their kind up. Quite stupid, actually."
Wait, so... they thought they were the same insect?
"My mother however, was a Tick Human, obviously."
"Wait, so Mekrot-"
"Don't make assumption, human. He is part tick and human, that is true. But no one knows who his father is."
Wait, so they're half brothers?
"Mekwah has same daddy," Meete joined the conversation.
"..."
"Wait, wouldn't that mean he's a Grasshopper and a Walking Stick?"
"It's THOUGHT that he's part Walking Stick and Grasshopper, but those percentages are low. Though the human percentage is 45. Tick 25."
He seems dark....
"What's the rest?"
"Fighting and Country. And THAT thing."
Huh?
He clutched his hands into fists, "That's why I want him nowhere near Meete."
What?
"Hey, Techrot... why do you hate Mekrot?"
"Because of a time long ago. I won't take that chance again." He gritted his teeth, "We're only lucky Meete had a little bit of Tick in him and some odd Healing DNA."
What??
What on earth happened years ago??
Ah wait, I wanted to know which Queen and or King to visit.
"Can I meet the Bee Queen?"
"I'll warn you right now. If you come with US to her, she will instantly hate you."
Uno...
"W-Well, which King or Queen do you suggest then?"
"I suggest the Moth Queen. She is a bit bossy, extremely girly, but she is polite and loving."
Whoa, wouldn't expect that.
"Doesn't she have dust everywhere though?"
"Yes, it's her 'fashion'. Or you could go to the Ladybug King and Queen. They are hospitable, kind, free-spirited, and caring. They get along with Meete well."
"Oh, then them!!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, Katenoki-chan, are you guys going to some Insect Convention or something?" my friend asked worriedly.
"Ah, no, that's not it, uh... W-We..."
What can I excuse it with?
"Ah, uh, T-Techrot has a figure collection!!"
Oh my gosh, that is ridiculous.
"And he said he'll, uh, act like one of his characters for me, so I'm trying to choose which to see!!" I laughed nervously.
"What on-" Techrot started, irritated.
"S-So!! Anyway, I'll choose the Ladybug."
"You are an absolute idiot, girl."
Just then, a song came blaring on, and I learned that while I was trying to choose which Queen and or King to visit, the kids had been trying to convince the bus driver to put music on.
It was 'I hate Everything About You.' {I don't own this song, but I love it!! Mainly because of Natsume and Mikan :P }
I love this song!! I began singing along, and soon enough, Meete began humming along as if he'd known this song all his life.
"What the heck," Techrot muttered, obviously not fond of the song. "Are humans so stupid and obsessed with emotions that they hate while they love? Preposterous. It's not even possible."
"I! HATE! EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! WHY! DO! I LOVE YOU?!! YOU! HATE! EVERYTHING ABOUT ME! WHY! DO! YOU LOVE ME?!! I! HATE! YOU! HATE! I LOVE YOU!!"
Oh my gosh, I love this song.
Everyone toned down while a new song, 'If I Die Young', Nightcore version came on. {I don't own this song in any version.}
Meete soon hummed along to this song, too.
How does he know all these?
"Hey Techrot, how does Meete know all these songs?"
"He doesn't."
"But he's singing along."
Techrot rolled his eyes, "You honestly think I'd let or make him listen to such crud? No. Meete just grabs the tone in a few verses or so. As stupid as he is, he can get all the lyrics of the song in a short time."
Just then, Meete began singing the lyrics in his chirpy voice.
"If I Die Young, buwy me in satin. Lay me down in a, bed of woses."
He seemed content in the song, and even Techrot seemed to like it, and was very interested in Meete's singing for some reason.
"Sink me in da wiver, at dawn. Send me away wit da words of a wove sooo-o-ong. The shawp knife, of a showwwt wii-i-ife. Well, I've had. Just enough tii-i-ime. A penny for my foughts, oh no, I sell em forwa dowwah."
"Hey, Techrot, these lyrics haven't been up!!" I exclaimed in whisper.
"He can sometimes foresee the lyrics if he's into it enough."
"Dey're worf so much more, aftah I'm a gonah, and, maybe den you'h hear, da words I been singing. Funny when you're dead, how people staht a' listenin~"
Everyone stayed quiet as they stared and listened at Meete. When he finished, everyone clapped and cheered.
Man, I never knew what a great singer he was!!
