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.

♪ La di da di da

♪ Crumb, crumb, yum, yum, yum

♪ Here I come to fill my tum ♪

I'd have thought others would be here, doing the same.

Psst! Cornea! Psst!

Cornea!

Oh, hello, Lloyd.

I was just wondering where everyone was.

Go! Get out of here, Cornea. It's not safe.

What's that? I can't hear you.

Watch out!

Oh, my...

You don't see one of those in here very often, ooh!

Aperture, how lovely to see you. What brings you here?

Hiding. We were having a picnic of leftover breakfast crumbs and...

"We"? Over there. Look.

Uh...

Bird!

Brilliant.

When that thing arrived.

Goodness! Biggo must have left a window open.

Oh! Don't! It might see you.

Did you see Abacus? We all ran. I don't know where he ended up.

Oh, I hope he's OK.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about Abacus.

With a friend like Lloyd,

this won't be the first life-threatening situation

he's experienced.

Oh... Oh!

We're safe for now. As long as it doesn't spot us.

We'd have a better chance of not being spotted

if you stopped sticking your head out.

Sorry, Molly. I just wish I knew where Abacus was.

He's helpless without me. What we need is a plan.

Um... Hyah!

My plan is to stay put and not get eaten.

So, your plan is to do nothing.

If it means not getting eaten, yes.

Yeah, well, I don't want to get eaten, either,

but I can think of a better plan than that.

Hmm... Hmm...

Which is? I'm thinking.

Would you stop?

Oh, Oh!

Mm-hm. OK, so, here's the plan.

We maintain a defensive position, remain observant,

and prepare for a long wait.

So, your plan is to do nothing.

Uh, well, if you must oversimplify, then, yes.

Hmm. Suits me.

Hope Lloyd is alright.

Oh, it's all you keep saying, again and again.

Is that all you can say?

Um, I hope my mum is alright.

Oh, give it a rest.

You don't hear me panicking about my Aunt Molly.

I saw her fly toward the pen lid with Lloyd.

He'll keep her safe.

She's with Lloyd?

Oh! I've got to save her.

Oh!

Maybe not right now.

I hope Lloyd and my mum are alright.

Aaah!

PB, get your head down!

I've never seen a bird so close.

Those were your Auntie Turmeric's last words.

Wow! So, she was eaten by a bird? Ah!

Well, no. She was eaten by the cat that killed the bird,

but it's effectively the same.

That's it!

And breathe in...

...two, three, four.

And out, two, three, four.

Oh, very good.

Is this, uh, really the time for a yoga session?

Definitely.

Yoga is wonderful for relieving the stress and tension

brought on by the fear of being eaten.

And breathe...

...two, three, four.

Don't even think about it.

Ugh. I hope Abacus is OK.

He'd feel much safer if he was with me.

My Berry's out there, too, or had you forgotten that?

Yeah, more so, I've not thought about it.

I'm worried sick.

But we're no good to Berry or Abacus if you get us eaten.

Me, get us eaten? Well, I... Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!

Uh...

OK. An addition to the plan,

stay very, very still.

If only I'd thought of that.

Psst, Dad. Come on. I've got an idea.

Huh?

Where are we going, PB? What's your idea?

To get a closer look while the bird is distracted.

Closer look?

No, that's a terrible idea! Get back here!

Oh, PB! PB! Whoa!

Oh! Hm. Oh! Hm.

Oh. Oh.

Uh... Wow!

And relax into that pose. Good.

Can I open my eyes yet?

No, not yet, no. Uh, let's try the sideways beetle.

Moving very slowly.

Move round to the right, keeping our eyes tightly closed.

Oh, Dad, PB! They're going to get eaten!

But what can we do? It will eat us, too.

Hah!

What are you doing?

OK, new plan. Cause a distraction.

Help me roll!

See? We're distracting the bird while remaining safe

inside the pen lid. That's what I call a plan.

Oh!

Aaaah! Aaaah!

Lloyd and Molly are probably fine.

They'll be doing the same as us, staying hidden and waiting it out.

Whoa! Aaah!

Ah. Aaaah! Ah. Aaaah!

Aaaah! Aaaah!

Whoa! Aaah!

I think they need our help.

That does look likely.

Oh! Whoa!

You were right, Cornea. This is so soothing.

Hey! Come and eat us, biggy bird!

Oh! Whoa!

Here, big birdy bird!

Oh, dear.

Come on, over here! This way!

Come on! Look at me!

Oh! Oh!

Hey.

Over here!

Quick, PB! To Cornea!

Wing it!

This way!

Huh?

Lloyd, Mum!

Molly! We'll be safer with them.

Now's our chance.

Lloyd, are you alright? I'm alright. Are you alright?

I'm alright. PB, are you alright?

I'm alright. Cornea, are you alright?

Oh, yes. I'm alright. Aperture, are you alright?

Oh, I think so. Molly, are you alright?

I'm alright. Just a bit shaken.

Yeah, I'm alright, too.

Berry!

Oh, yeah. Berry.

How nice. Everybody is alright.

Where's Abacus? Where's Abacus?

Huh? He was right behind me.

Help! I'm stuck!

Abacus! Abacus!

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Oh, dear. Hey!

Don't you dare eat my best friend!

Ah!

Oh, no. Not again.

Aaah!

Eat me instead! I dare you! I'm delicious!

You'll have to catch me first!

Come on! Come on! Try and eat me! Try!

I'm the tastiest fly in the world! Much tastier than Abacus!

OK, that's new.

Quick! Get Abacus!

Come on, Molly.

Oh, I'm a tasty fly!

I've been eating tasty bird all my life!

Oh! Thank you very much.

You can't catch me!

Oh! Oh!

Aaah! Oh! Oh!

Run away!

Run!

Oh!

Hurry, Lloyd! You can make it!

Aaaaaaaah!

Lloyd!

Oh, no!

Hooray! Lloyd!

I don't like how you went about it, but thank you for saving me, Lloyd.

Lloyd, that was either very brave or very stupid.

I say stupid.

I say brave.

I say both. Well, whichever way, well done.

Now, let's get home, quick.

I don't wanna be here if it comes back.

As plans go, Lloyd, that wasn't bad.

Oh, thank you. I came up with it at the same time doing it.

You mean you had no plan and you improvised.

If you wanna call it that.

The important thing is that everyone was safe,

and I looked heroic and clever and cool.
