James and the Giant Peach- Centipede, the Fire Chief, and Mrs. Ladybug

Anonymous asked:
"Wait--Mr. and Mrs. Ladybug? I thought Mr. Grasshopper and Mrs. Ladybug were an item?"

Centipede: ”No, they ain’t. They—ha ha ha!—th-they ain’t.”

Grasshopper: ”Hilarious. Mrs. Ladybug married the Fire Chief of New York City some months ago. They met at a gala and fell in love instantly. There was a beautiful ceremony, although…well, they love each other and that is what is important. We were all very hesitant at first. After all, he is a human, covered in soft flesh with warm blood and sort of…well, he doesn’t exactly have all that many arms, which I think would be a little more essential to compatibility, if you understand me—”

Centipede: ”Heh. You an arm guy, Hops?”

Grasshopper: ”Ahem. They are married and we are all very happy for them. She and I are not at all romantically entangled although I flatter myself to say we are close friends and she is very dear to me. “

Well...it's technically canon. in the original books Mrs. Ladybug DOES marry the Fire Chief. I just had to design him, is all.
