A while later, Grace was roaming around inside the anthill when she heard Flik yelling "IT'S PERFECT!" From the courtroom. Grace took a peek inside the courtroom and hearing their conversation

"Perfect? What's so perfect?" The Queen asked

"Your Highness, don't you see? We could send someone to get help!" Flik said

The Ant Council gasped

"Leave the island?" Atta asked

"Now, why didn't I think of that?" The Queen said "oh! Because it's suicide!"

"She's right! We never leave the island!" Thorny said

"Never leave!" Cornelius said

"There's snakes and birds and bigger bugs out there!" Thorny said

"Exactly! Bigger bugs!" Flik said "we could find bigger bugs to come here and fight and forever rid us of Hopper and his gang!"

"Ludicrous!" Mr. Soil said

"Who would do a crazy thing like that?" Dr. Flora asked

"I'll volunteer. I'd be very happy to volunteer" Flik suggested

The Queen laughs and said "you got a lot of spunk, kid, but no one's gonna help a bunch of ants"

"At least we could try" Flik said "oh, I-I could... I could travel to the city. I could search there!"

"If you went, you'd be on that silly search for weeks" Atta said

"Royal huddle" Thorny said

Atta and the ant council huddled together and

"Flik, after much deliberation, we have decided" Atta said "to grant you your request"

"Really?" Flik surprised

"Really?" The Queen surprised

"Uh, really" Atta said

"Oh! Thank you, princess. Thank you so much for this chance" Flik thanked Atta by shaking her hand "I-I-I won't let you down, I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise"

"Yeah, yeah, that's fine, that's fine. No, forget it, forget it" Atta said

"But I should probably help repair some of the damage before I go, don't you think..." Flik suggested

The ant council and Atta told him no and just leave

The next morning, Flik was on his way to find warrior bugs

"Hey. Don't worry! The colony is in good hands!" Flik said to the ants "bye, now"

The ants cheered

"All right" Flik said as he breathes in and continues walking

"Flik!" Grace running to him

"Morning Grace" Flik said

"I was wondering if I can come to the city with you" Grace suggested

"Oh umm, I don't know Grace, I think it might be too dangerous for you" Flik said

"But I've been in cities before and I turn out fine" Grace said

"Oh really?" Flik thought "alright, but you have to stay with me at all times"

"Okay" Grace agreed

They continued walking and Flik sees the violet ant and blue ant boys

"Hey, fellas. Beautiful morning, huh?" Flik asked

The ant boys climbed down and following Flik

"My dad says he gives you one hour before you come back to the island crying" blue ant boy said
