In this story, there's a big meeting at City Hall and all the bugs in Bugville are going. While just about all the other bugs are excited, Lass is worried. She thinks something bad is going to happen. Later, Lass and her family have a surprise party and everyone is invited. Well almost everyone, for you see there's a problem with the invitations; and some certain, special bugs may not be coming to the party.
