You are a simple, happy ladybug. You have lived your life peacfully. Your house in the garden, right at the base of the tomato plant, is the most beautiful of any of the insects that live there. It is your pride and joy and so heavely coveted by the rest of Gated Gardens, the neighborhod in which you live. You put a lot of effort into your home, and make sure to care for it. You're very greatful to have such nice neighbors and that you live in such a nice place, unlike in Mushroom Marsh a kreepy, uncared for community.
Part of why you love where you live is because you get to care for the tomoto bush. Other ladybugs live around you and care for their plants too, but no one cares for their plant quite like you do. Even other bugs in other neighborhhods can't compete. Although your friend Buzz the bumble bee who lives in Hive Hallows but works a few towns over in Flower Forrest, sure did give you a run for your money this year for best cared for plant.
Now, enough about that! How's about we start the day?

[[Prologue]]
[[Start|Home]]
You are in the town square. A circular water fountain is in the center, with insects of all kinds sitting around it. Just above the beutiful flowing water is large pair of golden gardening shears. The setting sunlight has made them sparkle just a bit brighter.
There is a young grasshoper sitting on the edge of the fountian reading a book, some children racing around the fountain, bugs all around.

You wake up early this morning. The golden sunshine is streaming into your home and you can smell the earthy spoil outside, and the tomoto leaves hanging over you. You stretch your ladybug arms and get ready for a great day at work. You go through your routine as usual. Clean your wings and shine your spots. Comb your antenna. You walk out of your beautiful home made of fresh grass and leaves and fly up on over to work. You help tend to the plants in your garden. Work is work as usual and you love it. The wonderful smell of tomato lingers on your body. You fly home and walk inside. You start to cook dinner for yourself, when all of a sudden there is a knock on your door. You go to answer the door and it's your good friend Buzz the bumble bee.
What a pleasent surpirse. You invite him into your home and offer him some of your food, but since it is not honey he respectfully declines. After some light and happy chatter, Buzz tells you why he has come to see you.
"The workers in Flower Forrest are dying. There has been a very strange rain there and it is causing it's people to get sick, and even die. Some say that the rain is because Weedy Woods and Mushroom Marsh are becoming more populated and expanding into Flower Forrest. The insects that live in the border of the city are the ones becoming sick. It hasn't effected me becuase I work in the heart of Flower Forrest, but I fear for my friends that work at the edge of the Forrest. The Queen wants us to destroy those towns so that her workers won't die anymore, but I don't think that's right. I would do anything for the Queen, but this is too far. Getting rid of those towns is getting rid of insects' homes."
Tell him:
[["You can't disobey the Queen's orders!"|Don't Disobey]]
[["I will help you try to evacuate the insects of those towns."|Evacuate]]
You continue to tell him:
"The Queen bee will surely send the other worker bees after you if you do not obey her orders. For your safety you must do as she says."
Buzz looks unhappy at your answer. His usually glowing yellow fur on his cheeks has lost its brightness, and has turned slighty green. You hate to see him upset, you two have been the best of friends for a very long time. You remember you had met at one of the plant care taker conventions, and hit it off immediately.
