RP Meme from "A Bug's Life"
Where's the line?!
Do not panic. Do not panic! We are trained professionals. Now, stay calm.
We'll be stuck here forever!
I don't think we can do that.
That's it, that's it. Good. You're doing great. There you go!
Watch my eyes! Don't look away.
Just be confident, dear.
That's our lot in life. It's not a lot, but it's our life.
What did I tell you about trying to fly?
It's not my fault she's so stressed out.
I'm always acting like the sky is falling.
You could have killed somebody over here.
Please forgive me. I'm sorry!
My invention will speed up production.
Oh, another invention?
Aren't you looking lovely this morning!
I'm sorry, I was really just trying--trying to help.
I can make another one.
I'm beginning to think nothing I do works.
Great. One success.
I'm never gonna make a difference.
Being little's not such a bad thing.
Everything that made that giant tree is already contained inside this tiny little seed. All it needs is some time, a little bit of sunshine and rain, and voila!
You've gotta work with me, all right?
You might not feel like you can do much now, but that's just because, well, you're not a tree yet. You just have to give yourself some time. You're still a seed.
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW A ROCK WHEN I SEE A ROCK?!
You're weird, but I like you.
C'mon! Keep moving! Keep moving!
It was an accident?
Where's the food?
Are you sure it's not up there?
Are you saying I'm stupid?
Do I look stupid to you?
Oh, I see! Under new management. So it's your fault.
First rule of leadership; Everything is your fault.
I swear, if I hadn't promised Mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you, I would kill you!
Shut up! I don't want to hear another word out of you while we're on this island. Do you understand me?
Well, how can I answer? You said I couldn't say another word.
Listen, if you don't keep your end of the bargain, then I can't guarantee your safety.
Someone could get hurt.
You want her? Go ahead. Take her.
Let's ride!
I'm sorry for the way I am. I didn't mean for things to go so wrong.
I was just trying to help.
Then help us-- don't help us.
Perfect? What's so perfect?
Why didn't I think of that? Oh! Because it's suicide!
Who would do a crazy thing like that?
Wait a minute. What did we just decide here?
I won't let you down, I promise, I promise, I promise.
I should help repair the damage before I go.
Get back, you horrible beast!
I have no fear!
I have been in outhouses that didn't stink that bad.
This is ridiculous. What a disappointment!
You! Come here! I want my money back!
I hate performing on an empty stomach!
What's the point of going out there? They'll only laugh at me.
You parasite.
I am a cute little bumblebee! Here I come!
Candy corn! Here, let me help you to finish it.
They are poo-poo heads!
The stage is the other way, dear.
I'm gonna pick the hairs out of your head one by one!
Take your best shot!
That's no way to speak to a lady.
I heard that, you twig.
I demand to know who said that!
How dare you! Ingrates!
I only got 24 hours to live and I ain't gonna waste it here. Come on.
Aah! I've just about had it with these losers! Flaming death!
Water! We need some water!
You're all fired.
Burn him again!
Don't look at the light!
I can't help it! It's so beautiful!
Oh, sorry! Oh. I'm really, really sorry. That was an-an-an ac-ac-accident.
I'll show ya who's tough!
Oh, will you shut up?
Someday I will be a beautiful butterfly, and then everything will be better.
Farewell, my friends.
Shoo, fly. Don't bother me.
Not so tough now, are you?
Get up and fight like a girl.
What part can I play?
Justice is my sword and truth shall be my quiver!
No, no! I want to watch this!
Thrust, parry, lunge!
Me thinketh it's not working!
Help! Help! Get me out!
You can explain the details on the way.
Whoa, you're vicious!
This is insane.
Quit shoving!
We need a miracle!
Run for your lives!
Once again, our reputation precedes us.
Oh, my ticker!
Bingo! We gotta sweeten the deal.
You should be proud of yourself.
Oh, aren't they adorable!
Okay, honey. You're up.
I'm making a speech.
Shouldn't I come too?
No, classified in the D.M.Z. Gotta go A.S.A.P. You know, strictly B.Y.O.B. Bye!
Are you kidding? Do you know what this is? This, my friends, is false advertising. How dare you!
Give me some time, I'll come up with a plan.
Just go tell them the truth!
The truth, you see, is bad.
I will be branded for life.
If you could squish me, that would be great, because, uh, when they find out, I'm as good as dead.
I really do think I should be part of this meeting.
You can't go! I'm desperate!
I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha, I gotcha!
Somebody do something!
I'm going to snap. I'm going to snap.
Suck it in, man!
That, my friends, is the sound of applause!
We voted you our honorary den mother!
You're too kind.
Don't tell 'em I said that.
Boy, that's all I'd need, another royal blunder like that.
I know what everyone really thinks.
Thanks, you're sweet. You're wrong, but sweet.
Nobody really believes I can do this job.
I haven't been that nice to you, and I'm sorry.
Aren't you sweet?
I outrank everyone here. Remember that.
Now you're gonna cry, right?
Please, don't cry. Please.
Keep up the good work.
I mean, why take the risk?
I didn't think it was such a good idea myself. It wasn't even my idea.
They talked fancy to me. I got confused!
Why go back?
Didn't that hurt?
Any sign of those fiends?
Okay, I've told everyone you'll be stationed deep in the command bunker.
Party quiets down, I sneak you out the back way and then you're outta here forever.
He's not fully trained. I mean, house-trained.
It seems we've been booked for an extended engagement.
They're back! Get ready, everybody! Get to your posts!
Battle stations, everyone. This is not a drill. Come on, everyone, you know your jobs! LET'S GO, GO, GO, GO!
You mean, you're not warriors?
You mean to tell me that our entire defensive strategy, was concocted by clowns?!
Tell me this isn't true.
This couldn't have happened at a more inopportune time.
You lied to me! And like an idiot, I believed you.
I just wanted to make a difference.
Tough crowd.
You think this is a game?
You don't want to make him mad. Believe me! No, no, no.
You're staying with me, Your Highness.
Quick! To the clubhouse!
Have you checked over there?
I love our job.
I'm gonna be rich, rich, rich I'm gonna be rich, rich, rich
I'm rich, rich, rich That's who I am
The circus life isn't so bad.
What are you talking about? It was your idea.
I just make things worse.
I've made a living out of being a failure.
You have rekindled the long-dormant embers of purpose in our lives.
They're rounding everyone up.
I promise to start thinking about paying you
Okay, I'll pay ya! I'll pay ya!
WAIT A MINUTE!
I think I'm going to wet myself!
I guess we could use a little entertainment.
On with the show!
The circus, the circus! I love the circus
That's the signal. That's the signal!
A magician never reveals his secrets.
You've got to make it work!
Don't let it get me! Don't let it get me!
Oh, my eye! Help me!
Oh, the pain!
There goes my magic act!
WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS?!
I'm the one you want!
Where do you get the gall to do this to me?
I hate it when someone gives away the ending.
A piece of dirt! No, I'm wrong. You're lower than dirt.
Ideas are very dangerous things.
So who's the weaker species?!
It's you who need us!
We're a lot stronger than you say we are! And you know it, don't you?
Oh, this was such a bad idea!
Quick! After them!
Go that way! I've got an idea!
Come on! We've gotta hide! No matter what happens, stay down!
All your little stunt did was buy them time!
I finally get a second to relax, and I gotta get out of my chair.
I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry.
Shutting up.
What's with the rock?
Now it's getting mushy.
Finally, I'm a beautiful butterfly!
You better start flying!
I am flying! And from way up here, you all look like little ants!

part one | part three | masterlist | wattpad
Tumblr media
Kara was becoming a frequent presence more and more in life as time went on. She was always there for me to count on, even when I didn't know I needed it, and I was extremely grateful. I wasn't even sure why she ever took a liking towards me, but I was lucky she did.
She'd come over to mine every other evening and invited me over to hers as well, and I welcomed the distraction whilst in the healing process of Anna and I's breakup.
I'd see the she-devil around work as little as I could manage, along with her new girlfriend – because of course they were dating now – but I tried not to let it affect me. Every time I found myself self-deprecating, I tried to remember it wasn't my fault. She was just a shitty person.
Eventually I stopped getting pitiful looks off people around the office. It wasn't helping with my self-esteem. Kara was a big help with that though, managing to glare people into looking the other way. It was funny after a while, how she stuck up for me like nobody had before.
I wanted to thank her somehow, for being there for me, but I wasn't sure what to do or how to even go about it. I wanted it to be meaningful, but I was never good at saying things outright. Maybe I could write it, I was always better with written words...
"...could do with a bagel right about now," Kara said, practically salivating at the thought.
I laughed, raising an eyebrow. "We literally just ate lunch. You're always hungry."
"Girl's gotta eat," she said simply, patting her stomach.
I rolled my eyes playfully, looking back to my computer for a moment. I was browsing Amazon for a new bookshelf and I asked Kara over to my desk for her opinion.
"This one," I said, turning my monitor around so she could see. "It doesn't look too hard to put together and it would fit well next to my TV, right?"
She leaned down to get a better look, nodding her head. "Yeah, that could work. Are you good at putting things together?"
I almost snorted. "No way."
"I can help if you want," she said with a laugh. "I'm pretty good at DIY if I do say so myself."
"Cheers." I smiled with amusement, watching how her eyes lit up at my dismay. Worth it.
My smile faded when I heard the irritating voice of Katy. I saw she was in our department, talking to one of the other reporters. Her whole being infuriated me and I could never control my annoyance when I saw her. She glanced at me, smirking, before continuing her chat with whoever.
"I can mix her coffee with laxatives if it makes you feel better," Kara spoke, gaining my attention. It took me a moment to realise what she said, and when I looked at her, I saw the seriousness in her eyes.
I cracked a smile, shaking my head. "You can't do that."
She mirrored my smile, shrugging. "Well, I could, but I shouldn't."
"There should be hearing aids invented that simply tune out her voice," I said, rolling my eyes a little. "She really bugs me."
"Yeah, it sucks, but at least it's a very rare occurrence that she's here," Kara said, trying to find the bright side of things.
"I guess, but– woah!"
I widened my eyes when I saw Kara suddenly reach in front of my face, catching a pencil sharpener in her hand. She looked down to me with concern and also surprise, before looking up to see where it came from.
"Oh my god, Y/N, that was totally my bad," Katy apologised, approaching my desk.
I stared up at her, surprised at the hint of mischief in her expression.
"That was supposed to go to Jack," she continued, pointing to the desk behind me. "I've got terrible aim."
Something told me only half of that was true.
"You should be more careful next time," Kara said, dropping the sharpener into Katy's hand. She was definitely not impressed as she added, "That could have hurt someone."
"Sorry," Katy repeated, flashing us an 'apologetic' smile before leaving to give Jack the sharpener.
I breathed out with relief, only just realising how close of a call that was. I looked to Kara appreciatively.
"Nice reflexes."
"Yeah," she said, half heartedly, still watching Katy with narrowed eyes, before looking to me. "You okay?"
"Thanks to you," I pointed out. "You really are my own personal hero."
Kara smiled, rolling her eyes as if to distract from the pink spreading across her cheeks. "Whatever."
I scrunched my nose, smiling at how cute she looked, before looking back to my computer. "I guess I'm buying a bookshelf. And you're gonna help me, right?"
"Right."
"Awesome."
***
Some more time passed before I realised how I wanted to thank Kara. It wasn't a big deal, nothing flashy or exciting. In fact, it wasn't the best thing ever, but it was all I could think of that didn't seem silly or fake.
I wrote her a letter. It thanked her for being there for me throughout everything, and how her being there brought us closer together as friends which I was grateful for. It said how I was lucky to have her in my life and so was anybody else who had her, too. She was gracious and kind one of those rare, beautiful souls that I couldn't let go by unnoticed without at least thanking properly.
I knew she didn't like big gifts and lavish presents, so I didn't bother. It wouldn't have felt right anyway – I wanted something more personal. So, I had the note ready to give with some flowers and a little Supergirl keyring that was soon to be explained.
I heard her knock on my door after work and that's when I readied the gifts on the kitchen counter.
"Hey," I greeted the blonde when opening the door.
She looked up and smiled brightly when she saw me. "Hey, I found those Jaffa Cakes you said you missed from home on the way here and thought I'd buy them for the movie." She held a packet of Jaffa Cakes in the air excitedly. "What d'you think?"
I stepped to the side to let her in, accepting the Jaffa Cakes, and grinned widely, unable to contain my appreciation.
"Kara, these aren't just something you 'find' on the way here," I told her, looking up to see her staring at me with anticipation. "You would have had to go to some sort of special store or something. Somewhere that specialises in British sweets and stuff."
Kara waved her hand dismissively. "It wasn't that hard."
I raised an eyebrow knowingly.
She suppressed a smile. "Okay, it was a little hard."
I laughed and moved forward, surprising her with a big hug. She chuckled, returning the embrace.
"If I knew Jaffa Cakes would make you this happy, I would've brought you a lot more," she joked as I pulled away.
"I've got something for you," I said, meeting her eyes with excitement.
"Not Jaffa Cakes I hope, otherwise this is embarrassing."
"Kara!"
"I'm kidding, go on," she said, laughing contagiously. "What have you got, Y/N?"
I put the Jaffa Cakes on the kitchen counter before grabbing the three items I wanted to give her.
"Well, that's a lot," Kara joked again, but I saw the appreciation glimmer in her eyes.
"Come sit down," I said, leading her to the couch. She followed and joined me as I sat down, facing her. "This is a thank you gift. It's kind of dumb, a little embarrassing, but I want to give it to you."
Kara had a smile permanently stuck on her face as she watched me. It made me feel a little nervous under her gaze, but I kept going.
"So, I wrote you a letter because I'm really bad at saying things," I explained, holding out the envelope. "English. Saying– speaking English. God, why am I so nervous?"
She laughed and accepted the envelope.
"But yeah, that's everything. So, you can read that first," I finished, nodding.
I watched hesitantly, as she pulled the note from the envelope and opened it up. Her eyebrows scrunched together with concentration as she read, and I knew I'd written a lot but it didn't make me any less patient to see what she'd say afterwards.
After what felt like forever, she looked up with an expression I couldn't read.
"I made it weird, didn't I?" I said, chewing on my lower lip.
Kara pressed her lips together and shook her head. "Y/N... I... you have a wonderful way with words."
I breathed out with relief.
"Thank you for saying those things," she said, resting a hand on mine, sending shivers up my arm. "It was sweet. And you're welcome."
I smiled softly. "I'm glad you like it." I held out the flowers adding, "These are for you. Just a little something extra."
Kara chuckled, accepting the flowers. "They're beautiful."
"And finally, there's this," I said, holding out the little blue box. "It's kinda stupid, but yeah."
She accepted the box, too, opening it up to reveal a Supergirl keychain.
"So, Supergirl is National City's hero, right? Well, I thought it would be funny because you're, well, you're mine. I mean, you helped me through my shitty breakup, and even before then, you've always been a big help with work. I just thought it could be a little reminder that I'm grateful for all the good you do. Like Supergirl, y'know?"
Kara lifted the keychain from the box and laughed, nodding her head. "This is amazing, Y/N. I love it."
"You do?"
"Yes," she said, lowering the keychain and meeting my eyes with her excited blue ones.
"Good. I... good."
She grinned, leaning forward to give me a quick hug. I smiled to myself, glad she liked it. My hammering heartbeat relaxed when we pulled away.
"Now to find a place to put it," she said, making me chuckle. "Wait a minute..." She reached into her coat pocket and pulled out her keys, attaching the keychain onto them, joining a fluffy cat and some other keys. "There. Perfect."
"Perfect."
***
I watched as the barista put whipped cream on my hot chocolate and sprinkled chocolate powder on top, making me excited. It was a chillier day in National City today, so I was picking up a drink on my break at Noonan's when I felt a familiar presence beside me.
"Y/N, hey."
I glanced over my shoulder and swallowed hard when I saw Anna, smiling awkwardly at me.
"Here you go," the barista grabbed my attention, placing my drink in front of me. "Enjoy!"
"Cheers," I said, grabbing my cup, before turning around to see Anna still, watching me. "Er, hey."
"I see you're also on your break," she noted, nodding to the drink in my hand. "Tea?"
I shook my head, still wrapping my head around the fact that we were speaking. I'd been successfully avoiding her for a few months now, and eventually I got over her and what she did to me. I didn't understand why she was attempting to talk to me now though – surely she had gotten the hint?
"Hot chocolate," I corrected her, pursing my lips, unsure whether to leave.
Anna accepted her drink from the barista before glancing at me. "It's been a while since we've spoken. I've been meaning to have a chat with you. I know you didn't want to speak to me, but I thought that it's been a while since then, so maybe you're up for it now?"
I raised my eyebrows. "I don't really know what there is to say, Anna."
"Please," she added, her voice suggesting a hint of desperation. "I won't be long."
I felt the heat from my hot chocolate in my hand remind me that I was going to head back to CatCo, but Anna seemed like she had something important to say. And I felt like I was emotionally mature enough to finally hear her out, or at least be civil with her, for the sake of our work relationship.
"Yeah, sure, okay," I agreed reluctantly, before leading her to a table by the window.
We sat opposite each other, clutching our takeaway cups nervously, unable to meet each other's eyes. Until finally, she spoke.
"You seem well," she said softly, and I could feel her gaze on me, "since, y'know..."
"Since I broke up with you after you cheated on me," I reminded her, meeting her eyes.
She licked her lips, nodding. "Right."
"What was it exactly you wanted to talk to me about, Anna?"
"I broke up with Katy," she said abruptly.
"It wasn't exactly a relationship destined to work out considering the circumstances in which it formed, was it?"
She gave me a knowing look. "Y/N."
I shook my head. "What do you want me to say, Anna? How would you like me to react?"
She was staring into my eyes as if expecting me to know what she was thinking, but I didn't. Not anymore.
"I honestly couldn't care less if you broke up with her," I said, truthfully. "It doesn't affect me. Quite frankly, nothing you do affects me. I've moved on."
"I shouldn't have cheated on you."
I breathed out slowly, trying to contain any oncoming anger I was feeling. "I don't care anymore."
"It's nice that Kara is helping you through," she added, a hint of jealousy in her voice, making me roll my eyes.
"Sure is."
"Are you guys a thing or something?"
I stared at her dumbfounded. "You're kidding, right?"
"No," she said, shaking her head. She was deadly serious.
I chuckled with distaste. "You think I owe you an answer? After everything you did to me?"
"So you are together," she said, a little disappointedly.
I clenched my jaw. "No, Anna, we're not. We're just friends if you must know. Not that it's any of your business."
She nodded, glancing down at her coffee cup with a hint of a smile. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes once again.
"Did you wanna talk to me just to remind me of all the shit you put me through?"
"No, no... that's not it," she said, meeting my eyes again. "I broke up with Katy."
I sighed. "You said."
"I broke up with her because I'm still in love with you."
I raised my eyebrows with surprise. Definitely wasn't expecting that.
"You don't seem mad about that," she pointed out hopefully.
"I don't seem happy either," I bursted her bubble, zoning back into reality. "This ought to be good."
"I'm serious, Y/N," she began, what I think was, sincerely. "I'm in love with you still."
I stared at her, so fed up of feeling everything because of her. I didn't even know how to react – I knew I didn't love her, I stopped a long time ago. But I was so exhausted with dealing with what she put me through that my brain didn't know what to do as she was speaking.
"You remember the part where you cheated on me, right?" I asked, quirking a brow.
"You're not taking this seriously," she decided.
"You bet your arse I'm not taking this seriously," I agreed, narrowing my eyes. "You broke my heart, Anna. You went off and slept with another woman whilst we were together – you cheated. You made me feel like shit."
"I know that," she said regretfully. "I know. I was horrible! I didn't appreciate what I had, okay? You were always so nice and loving. You cared about me so much and it became suffocating, infuriating! I hated it, that we were so..."
"Perfect?" I filled in for her, feeling a lump forming in my throat.
"Exactly," she said, her eyes softening as they met mine. "You loved me too much and I hated it then, but I miss it now. I miss us. I'm here to ask you for another chance."
I pursed my lips, wondering how on earth she thought she could have me back after everything she'd done. And now knowing why she'd cheated in the first place, something I thought I never needed to know... I didn't want to admit it, but it fucking hurt.
"You just told me that my love, the way I treat the people I care about, is suffocating," I said, swallowing hard. "Why the hell would I want to be in a relationship with you? Aside from the fucking obvious?"
I pushed my stool out and stood up, grabbing my bag and hot chocolate.
"Y/N, no, wait–!"
"You know, I don't remember you being this much of an arsehole when we were together," I said, staring at her one last time before storming past her and out of Noonan's.
As I headed back to CatCo, I tried to understand what the hell just happened. I was over Anna – I'd worked so hard to get over her, and with Kara's help, I had. I was convinced that I didn't need to know why she cheated, I mean, why does anyone cheat? I didn't think there'd be a reason. But now, knowing that there was a reason, and it was because of me apparently, it hurt. That same pain I felt those few months ago after finding out she was cheating, returned, even if it was for a split second.
Was I really too much when with those I cared about? Did I care too much? Was I too kind? Too loving? I didn't think that was possible, but now... I shouldn't have believed anything Anna said, yet it was lingering in the back of my head and I couldn't get rid of it.
When I reached my desk, I sat down and tried to get on with some work, but my head was still elsewhere, processing what Anna had told me. She still loved me, okay, that didn't bother me as much. I didn't love her at all, not anymore, not after how she treated me. She cheated on me because I was too much for her, too 'perfect'... that one was still a horrible thought embedded in my mind now. I had ironically pushed her away because I cared too much about keeping her close.
I'd barely gotten any work done when I saw a message pop up on my computer screen. It was from Kara, who was probably sat at her desk on the other side of the room.
KARA: Hey, we still on for takeaway and a movie tonight at mine? I'll let you pick the food.. :D
I was about to respond with a 'yes', but then I thought about what Anna said. I hated that she was making me second guess my friendship with Kara, but if what she said was true, then the last thing I wanted to do was push Kara away because I was too clingy.
ME: I think I'm gonna be staying late tonight to finish some work off. Maybe next time?
Yeah, that would work. I just needed to hold off for a bit. Kara and I had been hanging out quite a bit lately, and after giving her that keyring we– god, that keyring! That was so stupid! That was clingy, for sure. If I kept this up, caring for her too much, she might end up like Anna – feeling suffocated and trapped. I needed to slow it down. Give Kara some space to have a life, too. She'd been there for me so much that I barely let her do her own thing. It surely must have been annoying for her. The last thing I wanted was her hanging out with me because of some obligation she felt she had.
KARA: oh, okay, that's fine! anything I can help with? I don't mind staying back with you
ME: I should be okay, thanks anyway
I saw she wrote something else, but I decided to leave it at that and get on with my work. I still felt my heart hurting a little, and I wasn't sure if it was because of what Anna said or because of my newfound fear of losing Kara at my own hand.
