Epic of Bee

After I had finished with Gamble, Serria left to go help M&M, and I sent the Shadow Walkers off to finish handing out the BeeBliss Serum. I needed to have everyone ready for the Swarm Evolution System; that would allow us to have the best possible outcome.

"I will be in contact with you using small relays that I have been dropping since we left the Snake Village. If I would have had them ready sooner, I would have been dropping them from the SugaBees mountain. The relays will allow us to communicate with you, but you are going to have to fly back there," Gamble explained to me as I walked out the Honey Gate with Tag and Sig.

"With the MechaBees and Tag and Sig, we will get there fast. What is the status of my QBee? Have there been any changes since the last time that I used it?" I asked, and Gamble smiled.

"You have more than enough things to do right now, but, yes, I did. Well, I directed the people responsible for doing it. You will be able to check everything out on your flight there. For now, you have a meeting in the Flower Gardens, right? I think that you will like the new additions that Xani and Talli have made since you were out," Gamble explained to me.

"Yes, you are right. I am heading there right now, so I will talk to you once I am on my way. Make sure that you keep our people safe, okay Gamble? I know that you can't promise me that you will, but I want you to try your best to keep people from dying," I said to Gamble as he and I walked with the guards to the gate.

"Yes, I will try my very best, but you and I both know what we are walking into," Gamble said, and I nodded and then turned to my guards and nodded.

"Right-o! Come with us, out most Queeniest of Queen!" Tag said as he entered the gate, and I followed him with a smile.

Then I was in the Flower Garden, but I had thought that I was outside at first as I looked up and saw a blue sky with clouds in it. After a moment of staring at it, I looked back to Tag and Sig, who were now both standing at attention with big smiles.

"This is new. What is with this roof? I asked the boys, but then I wheeled around at the sound of a familiar voice.

"It is a false sky that came with the expansion that we did," Talli said as I turned to find Beezli, Pelleta, Xani, and her all waiting for me.

I smiled at them all and went over to hug each one of them before taking Xani's hand and pulling her into my arms for a long kiss. It was nice to share the moment, but I wanted to walk through the flowers; I could already hear them calling to me.

"I am very impressed by how much bigger this place is now! You all have done a wonderful job!" I said with excitement and started to walk to the Crystal Flowers field.

"Pelleta has been a tremendous help with everything. I have learned a lot about the plants and the Nectar that they produce," Xani said, and Talli, who was on my other side, nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I also learned many things from our time visiting with the Plant Goddess, and we have also created a new kind of flowers that we have growing at the back, thanks to Pixie and her MECA Nectar," Talli explained.

"I am glad to hear that you are two are helping," I said as I looked to Beezli and Pelleta.

"This one has been helping; I have just been standing around, looking important, you know," Beezli said while rolling her hand to the side as if to say that it was nothing.

"That isn't true! You were the one that has been going around and singing to the new flowers! Without you, I don't think that they would have grown as well as they did!" Pelleta exclaimed, but Beezli shot a glare at her, making Pelleta grin.

"What? You sing?" I asked in astonishment, and Beezli rolled her eyes, shaking her head.

"I wouldn't call it singing; I only hummed to an old tune that I enjoyed. Hardly worth talking about. You know that it was all your knowledge and hard work that caused the new flowers to bloom so wonderfully," Beezli said, taking Pelleta into her arms from behind, then kissing her on the top of the head.

"Have they been like this the entire time?" I asked Xani and Talli, and the two grinned up to me.

"Only when they come here. The rest of the time they act formally, but for some reason, this place seems to get to them, and they turn into puddles of mush," Talli said, but then Xani reached behind me and poked her in the side, making Talli squeeze and jump back from me.

"Oh yeah? Kind of like when the maid stops by? Whenever Will comes around you, turn into a puddle of mush as well!" Xani teased, and Talli's face went red with embarrassment.

"I can't help it! He comes in here and always acts so sweet to me and treats me like I am the most important person in the world! I can't help but melt in his arms when he does!" Talli said as she hugged herself, and I could only grin brightly as I looked back to Xani, who was squinting her eyes at me.

"Hey! Why don't I get that?!" Xani asked, breaking from my grasp.

"Hey, I have been running non-stop, and I just got out of a sugar coma! I do love you, but I am also the Queen, and I try to make time for all of you girls!" I said defensively.

Xani burst out laughing, and I wanted to slap the little witch for playing me like that to get a reaction out of me. I had to admit that I didn't hate it, but I just didn't like explaining myself, even though that was all I ever seemed to be doing.
