It is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion insects alive

at any one time. But forget about them.

This is about me, Lloyd. I'm a fly!

Oh, come on.

Oh, I cannot wait to try this new ride.

Apparently it's even scarier than the old ghost door.

Yes! Well, that never scared me.

There's nothing scary about a few old moulted skins.

Beware!

Sorry. It got away from me.

Need all the room we can get in here.

Hmm.

Step this way for the Ghost Coaster!

Have your stomachs churned like never before.

In a fun, enjoyable way.

Three for the ride, please.

Hold up. Stand here, please.

Whoa! A height limit. This ride must be super cool.

Sorry, son.

You must be this tall and... well, you're not.

My turn. My turn.

No!

There you go. This is not fair.

Sorry. Nothing I can do.

I don't make the rules.

Yes, you do. It's your ride.

Well, yes, but rules are still rules.

Oh. Step this way for the Ghost Coaster.

Have your stomachs churned like never before.

If we scream, does it go faster?

Not tall enough. I am the perfect height, thank you very much.

Maybe the ride is not very good. We're not missing much.

I feel like a kid again!

Oh, maybe we can try and grow taller? Ngngngh!

We'll never be tall enough.

Hmm. Not necessarily.

Welcome to our... Oh, it's you again.

Look, I'm sorry, but... It's not that.

We just want to ask you something.

Abacus, what do we want to ask?

The glow-worms. Do they have names?

Of course they do.

Nice of you to ask.

This is Petri.

That one is little Cauliflower.

Ip, Marmaduke.

Roller-Pop, Tarmac.

Fascinating.

But more importantly, could you measure me again, please?

I think I just had a growth spurt.

Huh? I could have sworn.

Mind you, you're a growing pug.

My grandson shot up a whole millimetre last week.

Oh, now, me. I've grown too.

Hmm.

PB, I'd be having my stomach churned right now if it wasn't for you.

It's not fair if only you get on.

Abacus and I want to ride too.

Oh, I don't mind either way.

You're right. We all need to ride, so we all need to be taller.

I know. Flegs!

Flegs? Fake legs.

Even better the second time. Whoo!

Welcome to the... oh, good grief.

Hello.

I believe our troublesome children were here earlier trying to sneak in.

But we are not them.

No, we're our... their parents.

Well, I'm utterly convinced if you could just stand here.

Of course. No problem at all.

I'll just stand here being a grown-up.

Perfect.

And if you could both stop flapping your wings.

Oh, no.

My poor broken flegs... Legs! I can explain.

I'm the parent of my son who was just here. Oh, no.

I can't explain.

Oh, hello, you three. Are you here for the Ghost Coaster?

I hear it's faster than a speeding hawk moth.

Well, we tried, but we're not... Brave enough to go

on by ourselves, are we?

No.

But maybe we could go on together.

Hmm. OK.

For the Ghost Coaster, please.

Four? Yes, please.

Well, you can always go around again, I guess. Through there.

Oh, is there a height limit?

Am I tall enough?

Yeah, I think you're good.

Oh, good. You best check for these three as well.

Hmmmm.

We nearly got on the ride.

That's almost a success.

Hopefully you are right, Abacus.

The ride's no fun, and we're not mi7ssing out on anything.

That was so much fun.

If only you could try it. You don't know what you're missing.

Oh I wish I could go again.

Oh, wait, I can. I've got three more goes! Whee!

It's not fair.

Why can't we be as tall as Cornea or one of these moulted skins?

Argh!

That's it!

Huh? Huh?

That's it. One foot in front of the other, Abacus. Keep going.

Ow! Why do you get to be the head, Lloyd?

I'm the smallest.

What do you mean? I'm the brains of the operation, PB.

Now work those arms.

Careful, Abs.

Sorry, Brain, I can't really see anything down here.

Ow!

Huh? Step this way for the Ghost Coast... er?

Left a bit. Right. Right a bit.

My right or your right?

No, like a cricket.

This would be so much easier if I was the brains.

Eeeesh.

Hush. Now, remember. Let me do the talking.

Steady.

Don't be suspicious.

Welcome to the...

...Ghost Coaster.

Three, please. ONE!

I mean, not three, please.

Just one, please.

Here's my crumb.

Crumb!

Forward. In front of me. To this kind gentleman.

And now I should probably put the crumb down.

Hmm.

Alright. In you go. Through there.

Well, that was just as delightful the second time around.

Oh, sorry.

You look very familiar.

Have we met before?

Huh? Have we met before?

I don't think so.

Are you sure?

What's your name?

My name is, um, Trevor.

Turnip. Copper Wire.

That's me.

Good old Trevor Turnip Copper Wire.

Pleased to meet you.

I take it back. I don't think we have met.

I'm very good with names.

Care to join me Trevor Turnip Copper Wire?

I'm going round again.

Yes, please. Thank you. Hello?

Ow, ow, ow.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You caught me muttering to myself.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Sitting comfortably?

I'm upside down. Yes. Yes. Let's go.

Yes. What I said.

Good.

Now prepare for the thrill of the Ghost Coaster.

The awesome speed,

the exciting twists and turns.

Do you think we could just shift places?

Hold on tight.

This is it. Get ready to...

Oh, wonderful.

I could do that all day.

I think I'm going to be sick.

PB? Is that...

Oh, maybe three times is enough.

I'm definitely gonna be sick.

Abandoned skin! Abandon skin!

It's OK. I'm feeling better now.

Let's go again!

OK. Let's get back in the skin before we're...

Ahem. ...discovered.

We're sorry for pretending to be a cricket.

So you should be.

The rules are there for a reason.

What is the reason, by the way?

Why is there a height limit?

The height limit is there to make the ride sound more exciting.

What? So it's not even dangerous?

Gosh, I hope not. That would be terrible for business.

We built and tested it ourselves.

It's very safe.

You do make a good point, though.

There is no actual need for a height limit.

This ride no longer has a height restriction.

Yay! So we can go again!

It's now adults only.

Still sounds exciting, but for less specific reasons.

Awww.

Now I have to go and pupate.

Sorry. Rules are rules.
