Bedtime with Mrs.
Honeybee.
All you have to do is close your eyes,
Get cozy,
And listen to the sound of my voice.
Mrs.
Honeybee will be your guide.
Let's begin.
Mr.
Honeybee,
Are you playing video games in the reclining theater seats?
This humongous screen isn't just for us.
We have little honeybees that'll be here any minute for the tournament.
Oh,
Oh,
No!
I wasn't really playing video games.
Harold,
I would never play without you.
On purpose,
I was testing all the chairs and controllers.
I have to make sure they work.
Quality assurance.
Roger,
Robot,
And I were working on it together.
Don't be silly.
We did that earlier.
Remember,
Mr.
Honeybee?
I have the assessment right here.
Roger,
Shouldn't you be somewhere else assuring the quality of something?
Nope,
I'm all done with inspections.
You have to remember,
It was right before we personally played each game.
It took us hours.
We walked around the perimeter of the arcade,
Tested all the billiard and card tables,
And I clobbered you at a game of darts.
I don't remember that.
Sorry,
It must not have happened like that.
I do seem to remember a chess match that I won.
That was right before I out-ski-balled you 80 to 50.
You double-checked the Mario Kart controllers twice.
You've already confirmed that all 50 controllers are ready for action,
And each of the games have been tested.
Oh,
Yeah,
That's right.
What was I thinking?
I was just making sure the high-resolution,
Wall-to-wall screen was ready.
It's going to be the main attraction right here in the center of the arcade.
It has to be perfect.
That was it,
Wasn't it,
My dear?
Screen testing.
It wasn't that you were playing that game where you roll around and gather stuff into a big ball to remake the cosmos.
That's why there's a big ball of stuff on the screen right now.
You're rolling right through a garden,
Picking up flowers.
I do love that game.
I was screen testing.
I am happy to report that this screen has been thoroughly tested,
And this private video game theater arcade we built is amazing.
Yeah,
It is.
But I kind of crashed a little bit on the racing game.
I think the whole game itself might have crashed.
But I think it's okay.
You might want to check on it,
Though.
How did you break the whole game?
Is the screen stuck on the menu?
I think I may have pushed all the buttons at once.
Whoops.
But these gaming chairs?
They're so cozy.
This is way more my speed.
And they recline.
I could nap in them.
But this screen?
Wow-wee.
It makes everything so realistic.
Is that flower real?
Or just on the screen?
I think I'm dreaming.
I need to get that flower.
I'll buzz over real quick and be right back.
No,
Melody Bee.
The flower is on the screen.
It's not real.
It's so bright.
And big.
I can't smell it,
Though.
Why can't I smell it?
It's not real,
Melody Bee.
Go slower.
You're going to.
.
.
Crash into the screen.
Are those antennas of yours just for show?
How did you not pick up on the electrical frequencies?
You will need a full diagnostic now.
Look at your wings.
They're all bent out of shape.
I have no time to spare.
I was never good at video games.
That much is clear.
Well,
Without further ado,
Let's bring in the gamers and let the games begin.
