Once we were deep in the tunnel's, Colt called out.

"Peggy!" He called.

"What?" The voice, I think Peggy, called back.

"Come meet the princesses. I hear she's from the human world." Colt said, and not a moment or two later, a penguin waddles out.

"Hello, I am Peggy. And you must be the princesses." Peggy said, excited.

"Yes, I am." I said, quietly.

"Will you come with me? I want to ask some questions about the human world." Peggy asked.

"Sure." I replied, kinda shy.

"Thank you, Colt." I turned around and thanked a retreating Colt.

"No problem. Let me know when your done, Princess." He replied.

I turned around and walked into the library room.

The walls were carved out of the mud walls and booms were attacked everywhere.

"So, tell me about the human world." Peggy asked.

"I never got to see the outside world. I was stuck in a lab, but I do know that there were these things called flowers that I loved. They were the most colorful things I have ever saw." I said, spreading the truth thin.

"Flowers, I rembered reading about that...." Peggy started on his ramble.

'I'm sorry for lying, sis.....Wait, I don't have sisters, do I?' I thought, as Peggy lectured me about his human world fascination.

'No, I would remember my own sisters if I had any.' I thought, as Peggy still rambled on.

'I guess I'm an only child. The daughter of the Ant queen.' I thought.

"Princess Kikumi." Peggy called, snapping me out of my daydream.

"What?" I answered.

"Were you listening?" He asked me.

"I'm sorry. I was thinking about the flowers outside." I said, apologetically.

"That's ok, princess. I guess I did ramble a little longer than normal." Peggy said, rubbing the back of his neck with his flipper. 

"Would you like me to go get you some flowers, Peggy?" I asked, hopeful.

"Yes, I would love that." Peggy said, smiling.

I looked outside of the library to see all of the ants have left, probably to go hunt.

"Mom." I called, running into her den.

"What is it, sweetie?" She asked.

"Can I go outside to go get flowers?" I asked her.

"Whatever for?" Mom countered, a look of concern on her face.

"I want to decorate the place and surprise everyone." I said, my tail swishing in excitement.

"Take Colt with you." She answered, sighing.

"Ok, Mom." I said, childishly.

She laughed and patted my ears.

"Run along now." She said, happily.

I smiled up at her before I ran out of the den.

'I love my mom.' I thought, happily.

"Colt!" I called and not a second later, he apeared.

I flinched at his sudden arrival.

"Good afternoon, Princess." He said, with a bow.

"Colt, let's go pick some flowers." I happily said.
