"Should we wait until you feed them?" I asked, still holding Messia in my arms.

"No, I will stay back here with the girls and take care of them. You should go out and explore, but you should take the boys with you when you go," Messia told me as she looked into my eyes.

"Sure, but then I am leaving Leah with you. She can't fly, and I won't feel okay unless I know that you are safe, and that's important to help me keep control of my emotions," I explained to Messia, and we broke apart, but I took her hands as we did.

"Yes, I will have Leah help me clean up here. I will get her to wear gloves and move things around. Will that work, Queeny?" Messia asked my helper that buzzed softly, and she bobbed.

"Yes, gloves will Bee fine; there is nothing here that is truly dangerous, and wearing gloves adds to that protection. The very few dangerous things that are in here could not Bee activated by even Ashia yet," Queeny explained as we both stood up and headed for the door.

Once outside, I could see our group and the boys already with them. Pixie was annoying Leah, and Talli was pretending to ride her tail.

"Leah, I would like you to stay back and help clean up the hut with Messia, please. Make sure you wear gloves and no exception!" I told a now grinning Leah who started to walk over, and the girls thought that this was the time to start acting worse, no more.

"GIRLS!" I shouted, not getting angry but getting my point across, and still making them stop. "That is enough of acting like children. Come over here and stand Bee-side me, and each one of you will take two of my hands."

I needed to get these two under order now. It seemed that Pixie and Talli were just ignored in the hive, and now that there were only a few of us, they were dying for attention even worse.

That was unfortunate, but I couldn't let that fact get in the way of raising these girls to become great people one day. Each and every one of the people was going to help me in their own way later on. It was my job to help them now.

"Are you going to be okay?" Messia asked, coming over to the girls and me.

"Yes, I will Bee fine, but, uh, could I get a snack for the road?" I asked hopefully, with a smile.

The smile that I got back sent heat into my body as she leaned in and kissed me. The jelly poured in, and even though it was a fast exchange, I enjoyed every second of it.

As we broke apart, Messia gave me another warm smile, giving me that warm feeling renewed. I turned to see the end of Leah feeding Riza, and I noticed that they held each other's eyes and smiled as they pulled apart. Those two would make a cute couple.

I turned back to the boys after saying goodbye, and Riza came over to join me. She took Pixie from me, who was no longer bouncing around, and that kind of made me feel like a meany, but it couldn't be helped.

"Your most Queenliness, are you ready to go? Where?" Tag asked, and he looked like he had confused himself a bit with the last question, but that was a good question.

"Where is somewhere that we can go that is safe but will have many interesting things?" I asked the boys, and they looked at each other.

"Sisi is pretty excellent, and the Snake Folk are a little cold-blooded, but they are good people," Sig said far too seriously.

"Where is that?" I asked, intrigued.

"With our most Awesomest wings, we should make it there in no time! We just have to head north to the crossroad and then hang a left west, then we have made it to the Cobra Canyon!" Tag explained with some wild pointing and hand gestures.

"Ya, but Tag! Now that we have these most excellent wings, we can just fly over the top of the Nightmare Falls now!" Sig said with excitement.

"Woah, Nightmare Falls? I have to know why it's called that! What kind of monsters are there?!" I asked in excitement.

There was always the type that loved to play games to hunt and kill monsters, but there were also other people like me—the one that likes Digimon, and monster rancher, and other games that let you raise pets.

"Ha, monsters? More like monster jerks. Nightmare Falls is home to black Unicorns called Nightmares, and they are grouchy jerks that give anyone that they catch at their waterfall one day of bad luck, just for having a drink!" Sig told me, but Tag slapped him on the back, laughing.

"Or you could be like Jit and go pee in the water on a dare. Leafa was so mad at him for the next week of bad luck she had to put up with! Most horrendous of situations for her, but we had a good laugh all that week!" Tag said, still laughing.

Black asshole Unicorns that gave a week of bad luck for pissing in their drinking water? I am surprised he made it out alive! Seven days of bad luck was a lesson!

"Do you think that we could stop by and talk to them? I mean, we wouldn't Bee stepping on the ground, and we can just fly away, but I really want to see them," I said to the boys, and they just shrugged.

"You're the most excellent Boss Queen Bee!" Sig said.

"Yeah, I wanna see what happens, but we will go first so that we get the bad luck. Sig and I know a trick to get rid of it, but it's not something I would suggest to a lady or my number one Queen," Tag said with a smile.

"I am your only Queen, Tag. You got me, though; now you have to tell me what the secret is," I said, trying not to roll my eyes.

This was going to Bee good!
