The next morning, Flik, Grace and the troupe were flying over a grassy field while Flik introduced himself and Grace and explained to them the story

"So you see, it was my fault that Hopper's coming back" Flik said to Tuck and Roll "but then, Princess Atta... Boy, is she one in a million. She let me go out and find you. And after seeing you fight off those flies... Boy, are those grasshoppers in for a big surprise!"

He laughing triumphantly and Tuck and Roll laughed uncomfortably

Tuck and asks Roll a question in Hungarian language and Roll shrugs

A while later, Dot was waiting for Flik and Grace to return

"Flik! Grace! They did it! They did it!" Dot cheered

They were heading to Ant Island

"This is it! This is Ant Island!" Flik said

"Flik! Grace! Over here! Flik! Grace!" Dot called

"Hey!" Flik and Grace waves at Dot

"They did it! They did it! Yay! They did it! They did it!" Dot jumped

Meanwhile at Ant Island

"At the rate these leaves are dropping" Thorny said "we're gonna need a miracle"

"That's right! We need a miracle!" Cornelius said

The troupe begins descending with a droning buzz

"Run for your lives!" Cornelius panicked

The ants ran to hide, the troupe made and grand entrance

"Ta-da!" A male ladybug named Francis said

There was a complete silent

"Once again, our reputation precedes us" Manny sighed

"Hey, everybody! Hey! I'm back! Hey, guys!" Flik said when he jumped off of Dim and Grace jumped off too "Hey! Look. Look! Look who's there with me!"

"Flik! Grace! Flik! Grace! You're back!" Dot ran to him and Flik picked her up "I knew you could do it!"

The ants came out of their hiding spots and seeing the troupes

"So, what are you supposed to be?" Blue ant boy asked Slim

"He's a stick, stupid. You hit bugs with him" violet ant boy said

"That's an oversimplification" Slim said

"That's right, kids. Like this!" Francis said

"No! Put me down!" Slim said when Francis picked him and hits Hemlich on the head "oh!"

"Hey!" Tuck and Roll said

"My, you just pop right open there, don't ya?" Dr. Flora surprised

The ant kids went under Dim

"Kids, he's kind of ticklish" Rosie said

The ant kids got their antenna tickling Dim's stomach, he started laughing and stomping, making the ant kids ran out screaming and laughing

"Well, my boy, you came through! Aphie and I are very impressed" the Queen said

"Princess Atta! Hey!" Flik said as he came to her "hey, guys, this is Princess Atta! She's the one that sent me to find you!"

"Atta, did you see that really big bug?" Dot asked Atta

"He looks absolutely ferocious!" Dr. Soil said

"They're our ticket out of this mess!" Thorny said

"They came just in time!" Dr. Flora said

"So, Princess Atta, what... What do you think?" Flik asked

"No, no, no, wait!" Atta huddles the ant council "this was not supposed to happen"

"Mayday, mayday. We're losing the job" Slim said when he heard their conversation

"We don't fight grasshoppers!" Atta said

"We don't, but they will" Thorny said

"Bingo!" Cornelius said

"We've gotta sweeten the deal" Francis jumps on Dim's nose "your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, our troupe here guarantees a performance like no other! Why, when your grasshopper friends get here, we are gonna knock them dead!"

"These folks are sure hard up for entertainment" Slim said
