Maya the Bee: The Honey Games Page #3

---

On the final day,

the two remaining teams

will compete

in front of the Empress...

...for The Honey Cup!

[gasps and applause]

Willi, we're gonna win that cup.

[Violet chuckles]

We're gonna win that cup.

Bye Willi.

Bye.

[sighs] So, where's our cabin?

Over here.

Uh, I don't know.

- It doesn't look very safe.

- [Flip] Hello little ones.

[Maya] Flip!

Are you lost?

We're looking

for Team Poppy's cabin.

Oh, you won't find it up there.

That's Slug Hill, a nasty place.

It's out of bounds.

Your cabin's just over there.

Who's on our team, Flip?

They said it would be

the finest bugs in Poppy Meadow.

Well, I hope

we know some of them.

There's only one way

to find out.

Thanks, Flip! Come on Willi!

- [Maya giggles]

- Good luck you two!

Poppy Meadow

believes in you, kiddo!

Hello, anybody there?

Hello?

- [both scream]

- [Willi gasps]

Uh, guys. You can come out.

It's, like, not Violet.

Maya, quick, hide!

Uh, maybe I'm in

the wrong place.

I bet it's one of her friends.

Beat it, city bee! This cave's

for Poppy Meadow bugs only!

I am a Poppy Meadow bug!

[sniffs]

She doesn't smell

like one of Violet's friends.

- Violet's not my friend.

- Lucky you.

That girl's meaner

than a scorpion

that stung its own backside.

And she's mean too.

And she thinks she's, like,

so funny, but she's so not.

She won't be laughing

when we win that golden cup.

Guys wait, she's serious.

No one thinks we can win.

But aren't you the finest bugs

in Poppy Meadow?

[all laugh]

That's so funny.

We're only here

because Beegood said

we'd won a trip

to the Honey Games.

He never told us

we had to compete.

Don't stress, the sooner we lose

the sooner we can go home.

What? No! I have to win.

We have to win!

Anyway,

what's your name little bee?

I'm Maya,

and that's my friend Willi.

- Hi. Maya, run now!

- What's your name?

I'm Craig,

pleased to meet... [gasps]

Don't worry about Craig,

he hates germs.

I'm sorry little bee,

I just don't shake hands,

unless they're mine.

The spider up there is Spinder.

She's a vegetarian.

If it's got a face,

I don't eat it.

[Willi whimpers]

And the angry little bedbug

over there is Bedford.

[chewing]

Just one thing with him,

sometimes he bites.

[gasps] Strangers!

Save yourselves.

[both]

Hut hut hut hut hut hut hut!

Privates Arnie and Barney

reporting for Games duty, sir!

What're you two doing here?

Well, Maya, a little bird told

us you might need some help.

And then it tried to eat us.

It was actually

quite a big bird.

So, here we are,

peak physical specimens.

- Higher!

- Faster.

- Stronger!

- Weaker.

[Arnie]

Beatle, sunshine, raindrop.

[Barney] Now you're just

listing words, Arnie,

- but who needs words?

- Not me, Barney.

Actions speak louder than words.

- Burpees!

- [both belch]

Chin ups!

Feel the burn. Feel the burn!

It's burning.

And shake it off.

These guys are strange.

Don't worry,

they'll grow on you.

- Huh?

- Grow on us?

Like fungus? [groans]

You can sleep over there.

[chuckles nervously]

Good night!

Hut hut hut hut hut hut!

[snoring]

We can't win with these bugs.

We can do this.

Every bug has a talent.

[screams]

I've got my eyes on you,

both of them.

[teeth chatter]

[crowd cheering]

[Mantis] Good morning bugs!

And welcome to day one

of competition!

Today's event is Dodge Ball!

The team with the fewest points

at day's end will be eliminated.

[Beegood] First round,

team Burly Bluff

versus team Poppy Meadow.

Teams into position.

Seriously?

Even their muscles have muscles.

This should be good.

[snickers]

We'll be great, just follow

my lead. Everyone ready?

[blows whistle] Play ball!

[thudding and grunting]

Whoa!

Whoa!

Okay time out, time out!

- Huh?

- What did he...? What?

[gasps]

Arnie how did you do that?

As long as you make a capital T,

you put this hand on top

of this hand, the game stops.

Show me again!

Oh sure,

you take this hand and...

[gasps]

Extra time... [gasps]

[both moan]

[Willi groans]

[Beegood]

Team Burly Bluff win!

[snickering]

Boom, show me the love.

[Beegood] Team Burly Bluff

versus Team Tropolis!

[crowd cheering]

[chuckles]

Well, well, more little bugs.

Oh, poor Violet, I can't watch.

[whistle blows]

[voice slowed down]

Oh, no!

[crowd gasping]

[grunts]

Oh no.

[whistle blows]

[Beegood]

Team Tropolis wins!

[snickers]

Next.

Oh, she's really good.

[sighs] She sure is.

We're good too!

If we work together,

we can achieve anything.

[groans] I think motivational

speaking is, like, her thing.

[Beegood] Team Buggy Hollow

versus Team Aphid Gorge!

Aww, how cute.

Don't worry, little baby bugs.

We'll go easy on you.

[cooing]

Let's get em all!

[all gasp]

[whistle blows]

[groaning]

[Beegood] Team Tropolis

versus Team Poppy Meadow!

[crowd cheering]

[chuckles] Looking a bit

off-color, Team Poppy.

[sighs]

Team Tropolis attack!

Let's go, Team Poppy!

[screaming]

[chuckles then grunts]

Willi!

Pollen.

[whimpers]

Craig, throw the pollen!

- [sighs] I'm so out of here.

- [Maya] Spinder!

Bedford, you have to move.

[grunts]

Ha! Great team you got there,

Maya!

[snickering]

[screams]

[both groan]

You saved me.

You're my special friend now.

Arnie! Barney! Help Spinder!

[both] Aye, aye, Captain.

- What did she say?

- She said, "Help spin her."

Ten-four, bug daddy! Spin her!

Spin her, now!

[groaning]

- [Arnie] Incoming!

- [Barney] Outgoing! [giggles]

[gasps]

[gasping]

[gasps]

Victory to Team Tropolis!

- [crowd cheering]

- Ha!

Oh, we lost again.

But look, we got some points.

Huh?

[Craig] We got points!

We've got points!

We got points!

Uh, not that I care.

[whistling]

But, is it enough?

[Team Tropolis cheering]

[gong chimes]

And so ends day one

of competition.

You should all be very proud.

Unfortunately, one team

had to finish last

and today, that team is...

- Buggy Hollow...

- Oh, what?

...who finished just one point

below Team Poppy.

We made it through?

- We made it through! Ha, yes!

- Yeah! Woohoo!

[chuckles and woops]

- Yes!

- [Willi woops]

Go team! Let's get some food

and celebrate!

[yawns] I'm gonna go lie down.

- Yep. Nighty-night.

- [Barney snores]

[Spinder sighs]

See you back at camp, Maya.

[Barney] I gotta sleep.

Huh. Hmm.

Should we be worried?

About her?

[scoffs] Hardly.

[chuckles]

Every bug has a weakness.

[crickets chirping]

[Empress chomps on treats]

[Beegood]

Your Empressness,

I have the team scores

after Day One.

Excellent. We're first.

[Crawley panting]

The team scores, Your Majesty.

Excellent! We're not last.

[groans] Ew!

Yuck.

Taste it, Willi.

Trying new things is good.

But I don't like new things.

I like pollen.

[little bugs cheering]

[Violet] I have pollen, Willi.

Oh... okay.

Team Tropolis' food

is flown in specially for us.

Wanna join me?

Ah! Violet, thank you!

[slurps]

Hey, come on, Maya!

Yes, Maya. Please, take a seat.

Hmm. Okay, thanks, Violet.

- Sorry, that's Chelsea's spot.
