Firefly Arson (Almost book 16)

Since we're not going to publish it, I thought it would be fun to post the old book 16 here. So here it is...

Fiona's Firefighter

Possible Fiona Fireflies 

1. Fiona Firefly was buzzing around Bugtown, enjoying the cool air, when she smelled smoke. She looked over to see Molly Moth's house was on fire! She buzzed over quickly to see if she could help.

2. At the scene, fire ants were rushing around trying to put out the fire with water from the nearby Bugtown lake. She arrived just in time to see a firefly jump out of the window carrying Molly.

3. He buzzed down to the ground, giving Molly to the doctors to treat her burned wing. He then ran back inside to search for any other bugs. That was Finn, Fiona's husband. She thought he was the most courageous bug alive.

Sketches for Finn Firefly

4. The fire quickly got put out, and she returned back to her normal life. Except, Finn began acting very strange. He kept asking her to invite Larry Ladybug over, who she had never even met. When she finally did, he seemed relieved and left for a walk.

5. Larry arrived, and they began talking about nothing. They were interrupted by his phone, and a frightened voice came on: "Sir, your mansion is on fire!" Both Larry and Fiona jumped up, quickly running to his limo and speeding off to the mansion.

6. The fire ants were there, with Finn helping carry buckets. Apparently he was called during his walk. Thankfully, nobody was inside, but Larry was extremely upset.

7. In a few more days, the same thing happened. Finn made Fiona have a meeting with Sam, while he stayed home. While she was out with Sam, they heard the sirens and rushed over to see Sam's house on fire.

8. Fiona was scared. At Sam's house, she heard the police talking about an arsonist, and she feared that it might be Finn! She was too scared to ask if it was true, but he definitely was acting strange.

9. In a few days, Finn asked her to invite Betsy Beetle over. She had a plan though, so agreed. Following her plan, Fiona called Betsy, except asked to meet at Betsy's house. This way she could know for sure.
10. On the day they planned, Finn suspiciously left again. After he was gone, Fiona ran to Betsy's house as quick as she could. She tried to relax, but keep looking around for the arsonist. After a while, she heard a noise out front.
11. Right as Fiona turned around, a wasp threw a match, and the door was covered in flames. Fiona was shocked when Finn jumped out of the bushes, tackling the wasp. Sirens sounded very close, and soon a fire truck arrived with the police right behind.

12. Several fire ants quickly unrolled a hose and extinguished the fire before it spread. Pat the Policebug also came running out, handcuffing the struggling wasp. Once free, Finn went over and hugged Fiona. “I’m so glad you’re alright.”

13. He could finally explain what was going on, and pulled out a paper to show her. He said it was a note given to the firemen, threatening several powerful bugs. Nobody had believed it until Molly's house caught fire, exactly as planned.

14. Finn had wanted to keep these people safe, but needed proof to convict the wasp. But with Fiona’s help, they caught the arsonist and Bugtown was safe. Fiona looked at Finn again and saw the bravest bug she would ever know.

Eh? Right? It's convoluted and confusing, but hopefully you enjoyed it anyways.

Book 16 Fireflies?

After completing the Firefly-Arson book 16, we felt as though it did not match well with the Bugventures style. It was too complex, convoluted, and just a little strange. While it is a fun story, we have decided that it does not belong in the series. Instead, I am planning book 16 to be a space adventure, trying to use a more fun and whimsical style of writing. Sorry for the wait, but it'll be worth it!
