Happily wandering in the forest one day, this little mantis ended up getting himself into quite a bit of trouble; after thankfully taking a deep breath that was going to lead into a happy sigh, a drop of water splatted onto him from above, trapping him inside! He struggled to get out for several minutes, even rolling the drop around to find something to pop it, but it wasn't happening, and he just had to keep holding his breath and hope for help...

Another 10 minutes passed, and no help was coming. The mantis was awkwardly covering his mouth at this point, his blue cheeks now as big as his head. Even with his lungs burning, he tries his best to stay still, still having hope that someone would find him in time.

P2

With 17 minutes having passed with him stuck in the droplet, the poor mantis couldn't take any more. He starts beating against the edge of the droplet, calling out for help as bubbles stream from his mouth, before he finally draws in a breath, water surging down his throat and into his lungs...

that's the power of surface tension

Yep, with enough of a size difference it can be a real issue.

Yikes! That's a rough spot! One of the many downfalls of being tiny like that...

Things are pretty rough for the tiny beings out there. He's lucky he's at least not going through something worse.

*on a beautiful spring day this little mantis was wandering around in the forest, until a tiny little ribombee was happily skipping around in the forest too, and they accidently bump into the mantis*
"Whoops! Sorry!"

After regaining his balance, the mantis smiles at the ribombee. "Oh, no worries! I sort of blend into the grass around here, not the first time someone ran into me."

"Heh, I see..." *the ribombee looks at the mantis with a curious look* "What are you supposed to be? I've never seen anything like you before..."

"I'm a mantis! Makes sense that you don't know what that is, we're kind of uncommon around here. Speaking of that, what are you?"

"A mantis huh? That's really neat! You look cool! As for me, I'm a pokemon called ribombee! I'm pretty small as you can see" *they smile and blush a tiny bit at that*

"You look cool too! It's really nice to meet someone that has a similar size to mine, that's only happened to me a few times."

"Yeah same here, it's not often it happens, but I'm glad I met you..." *they nuzzle the mantis a bit, but little do they know...trouble is about to happen to the duo soon...*

The mantis happily hugs the ribombee. Above the two, a water droplet rolls along a leaf, soon reaching the tip some distance directly above them...

*as the ribombee happily hugs the mantis back, the water droplet above them drops down, luckily the duo was gonna take a breath to originally give a happy sigh, but before they could let it out the droplet plops onto them!*

The force of the droplet falling on them pushes them both to the ground... And into the droplet! The mantis burbles out some air in a bit of pain, before realizing he's now underwater and covering his mouth.

*the ribombee's eyes go wide for a second at what's going on, losing some air as well and noticing they were underwater, which causes a panic attack out of them before they cover their mouth as well, whimpering as they see to be very scared*

The mantis puffs up his cheeks and gets to his feet. Unable to swim, he walks to the edge of the droplet and tries to push his way out, but it doesn't seem to be working. He looks at the ribombee and gestures for them to help.

*but the ribombee was way too scared to even move, they were whimpering and whining as her eyes squeezed shut, covering both her nose and mouth as constant bubbles escape her*

Knowing it'll be best to help the ribombee calm down first, the mantis walks to her and puts his arms on her shoulders, trying to give her a reassuring look despite being nervous himself.

*the ribombee opens her eyes to see the Manis trying to calm her down...while she was certainly still in full panic mode she tries her best to relax, but her face was already turning slightly blue, her cheeks now puffing out as well*

The mantis' eyes go wide as he sees the ribombee is already low on breath. He's not sure he'd be able to pass air to her because of his mandibles, so he just hopes they'll be able to get out soon. He gestures for the edge of the droplet again, still wanting her help pushing it.

*she nods her head, taking one hand away from her nose and keeping the other hand on her mouth, floating over to the edge of the droplet and tries to push it away and pop it somehow*

Somehow only now having thought to pop the droplet, the mantis jabs it with his forelegs and even tries to bite it, but nothing seems to be working...

*the ribombee keeps pushing the droplet, but her whines are going strong right now...her eyes squeezed shut again as constant bubbles escape her, now her face fully blue*

With seemingly no other option, the mantis decides to do his best to give the ribombee air. He holds her head and kisses her as best as he can, trying to exhale into her. A lot of bubbles get loose, but a decent portion of his sacrificed air does get into the ribombee.

*the ribombee was shocked by what just happened, a immediate blush on her face as it returns to a deep red color from the shared air... she couldn't help but look at the mantis was a slight smile as if thanking him for the air, giving him a gentle hug*
lolboy4

The mantis is blushing as well, both from embarrassment and all the air he'd lost. He hugs the ribombee back, then gets back to trying to break out of the droplet.
squirtlerocks07

"GRRRRRBLBLBLBL!!!!" *the ribombee gets frustrated at all this, and with renewed strength she pushes with all her might, and...surprisingly, it popped!*

Once he safely can, the mantis gasps, thankfully not having been in all that much need of a breath. "M-man, that could've been a lot worse..."
squirtlerocks07

*the ribombee gasps heavily at the air* "Omg! That was so scary! Curse this tiny body! Knew I should have taken swim lessons..."

"Yeah, this is one of those times being this small really sucks... Thanks for the help though, I'm not sure I would've gotten out of that droplet without you."

"I guess my pent up rage got us out, heh...but your welcome...now...about that kiss..." *the ribombee blushes* "I-it felt really nice when you...kissed me liked me"

The mantis blushes too. "...E-even with my mandibles kind of getting in the way? I-I have to admit, that was actually my first ever kiss..." He shyly rubs his forelegs together.

*the ribombee shyly looks away for a bit, then smiles* "That was my first kiss too... and, I liked it... it felt...weird but good"

"M-maybe, um... W-we could get to know each other better? I-I don't know how much you know about mantises, but a relationship with a female mantis never ends well for the male..."
squirtlerocks07

"Hmm I see... well I would love to get to know you better! Maybe even we could get into...the most unlikely relationship, hehe" *the ribombee blushes even more, then holds her tiny little hand out to the mantis for them to hold so they could talk about each other interests*

"I hope so, I really like you..." The mantis happily does his best to hold the ribombee's hand.

*the ribombee blushes more*
"I really like you too!"
(Yep, seems like a good spot, glad the mantis was able to survive here, heh)

(Nice to do an RP involving a bug character, I really like those in art. Weirdly not IRL, though)
