BEDTIME WITH MRS.
HONEYBEE Mr.
Honeybee,
Have you seen any sign of the opposing team yet?
Not yet,
My dear.
I'm on the lookout,
Though.
We usually hear them before we see them.
That is how they got their name.
That's true.
They sure do live up to that name,
Don't they?
Midnight Ruckus.
Am I late?
Am I late?
I'm so sorry.
I was looking for my lucky coin.
Do you use for the coin flip that starts the game?
Did.
.
.
Did you not find it?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
What does it mean if you lose your lucky coin?
Oh no.
The coin is probably just hiding somewhere.
You'll find it.
It's not a gnome in Melody Bee.
It doesn't mean anything.
What if we lose because I lost the lucky coin that would have brought us all the luck the Honeybee Hive soccer team needs to win against the Midnight Ruckus?
Wait,
Why is it so quiet?
Why is there no ruckus?
Are they not here yet?
Not yet.
No sign of them.
I have time.
I'll search my pom-poms.
Sometimes things get stuck in the little strings.
Melody Bee,
I really don't think the Honeybee Hive,
Full of little honeybees,
Needs any luck.
These are the best soccer players the world's ever seen.
That is true.
Phew.
What was I thinking?
We don't need luck.
We have skill and heart and dedication.
Exactly.
And besides,
Whenever I find myself wondering about all the what ifs,
I drop the letter F and focus on what is.
Less ifs,
More is.
Instead of what if,
Focus on what is.
Got it.
That is a lot of ruckus.
They're here.
I never understand why they don't just walk through the open gate.
Why do they have to climb the fence?
Maybe walking through the open gate isn't loud enough?
Yeah,
Maybe that's it.
They must really like noise.
And they're very good at making a lot of it.
Melody Bee,
You said you don't have your coin.
I don't have a coin either.
Me neither.
It looks like the Midnight Ruckus have a coin.
Theirs should work,
Right?
Do we trust it,
Team?
Yeah,
I think we can.
Heads,
Honeybee Hive kicks off.
Tails,
Midnight Ruckus.
Psst,
Mr.
Honeybee.
Check to make sure it's not double-sided.
You never know.
I did lose the lucky coin we usually start our games with.
You have to make sure.
It's got both heads and tails.
This is a fair coin.
I made sure.
Okay,
Here goes.
Heads,
That's us.
Who needs luck?
We have honeybees.
Always remember,
Mrs.
Honeybee believes in you.
You are special and you are loved.
I can't wait to see you again.
