Hop Pop took us all to town to pick up some stuff. "This is so great!" Polly exclaimed. "Our first day in forever with no responsibilities, so, what are we gonna do?" "You'll see." Hop Pop replied as he stopped at the seed store. "Ugh, no!" Polly complained. "Yup." Hop Pop smiled. "Oh, come on!" Polly continued complaining. "Don't worry, Marcy, we don't have to go into the boring..." "This is so cool!" Marcy exclaimed. "A store just for seeds? Why, we could be there for hours." "Don't tempt me." Hop Pop said as both him and Marcy were fangirling over seeds. "Have fun in there!" Anne called. "We're good here in the wagon." Sprig added. "Oh, and look after Polly, you three." Hop Pop reminded us as he walked into the store with Marcy. "Perfect." Polly said. "Now that the nerds are gone, you guys wanna go make mischief?" "I don't know about mischief, but we can definitely hang out." I replied. "How about you, Anne and Sprig?" Polly asked. "Guys?" They were too engaged to a game on Anne's phone called Robo Ring: World Tour. "You guys are still playing that game?" I asked. "You've been at it for weeks now." "Hey!" Polly exclaimed. "Did you hear us?!" "You know, in the past, I would've said yes, but I think I'm getting a little too old for that nonsense." Anne replied. "Sorry, Polly, but, me and Anne have changed, we're different now." Sprig added. "Some of us even sound different." Anne mumbled. "What?" Sprig asked. "Nothing." Anne replied. "Anyways, I think we should focus our energy on more mature activities, SPRIG, USE YOUR KITTY CAT BLASTER!" "On it." Sprig said as he continued with the game. "So, no one wants to cause trouble with me besides Rowena?" Polly asked. "Who are you guys and what have you done with Anne and Sprig?!" I cried. "Sorry, dude." Anne said. "And in case you haven't heard, we're responsible for Polly." "Boo!" Polly complained. "You'll get it one day, when you have someone to look after." Anne explains. "Death first!" Polly shouts as Sprig dies in the game. "Aw, man." Sprig sighed. "Don't worry, I'll watch her, technically, Hop Pop put all three of us in charge of Polly." I explained as I heard a thud. "Who's responsible for this?" A frog asked after Polly ruined his market setup. "Those two." Polly replied, pointing at Anne and Sprig as I got out of the cart and grabbed her.

I ran farther into town with Polly. "I never felt so alive." I said. "Right, who needs those two." Polly smiled. "Now, how can we be rambunctious to the max?" "I don't know, but I can't wait to see what you come up with." I replied. Polly looked around to see the fountain and another frog reading the paper. "People of Wartwood, welcome to The Splash Zone!" Polly shouts as she dove into the fountain and barely splashed the frog. "Aw, I really thought that splash would be bigger." "To be fair, you're a tadpole." I said. "How about you try?" Polly suggested. "No can do, I'd easily break the statue, I mean, it's a miracle that Marcy was able to fix it." I explained. "Oh." Polly said, looking around and finds a beetle pie. "Mmm, beetle pie."

Polly hops over to the bakery to try to grab the pie. "Need any help?" I asked. "No!" Polly snapped, accidentally knocking over Toadie. After I helped him up, I found Polly near a bunch of trash. "Mischief's no dang fun with just me and you." Polly sighed. "Yeah, hate to say it, but things aren't always interesting without Anne and Sprig." I replied, picking up an empty can, tossing it towards the trash. All of a sudden, the trash began to move. "That's odd." I took a closer look and it was revealed to be a robot that looked like a frog, causing me to jump and fall on my back. "Holy frog abuse!" "Is somebody in there?" Polly asked. The robot flashed its lights on Polly and stepped out of the trash, scaring her. "Oh my frog, a monster, stay back!" The robot also looked scared. "I think it's copying you." I said. Polly tried a few things to see if the robot would copy her, believe it or not, it did. Polly and I began to laugh and the robot did the same, but it wasn't very pleasant. "Whoa, your laugh is horrifying, I love it!" "You're no monster, you're just a big tadpole." Polly said. "I'm Polly, by the way, and this is Rowena, what's your name?" The robot couldn't say anything. "Can't talk, huh, you really are a baby." I cooed. The robot was adorable.

"You look like one of those things from the fighting game on Anne's phone." Polly said. "Hey, Rowena, what was it called again?" "Robo Ring." I replied. "Except this robot looks more like a frog." "I will call you Frobo!" Polly gasped. Frobo liked his new name. "That's too cute!" I squealed. "I know, I'm a genius." Polly replied. "So, Frobo, what else can you do?" I asked. Frobo lifted up Stumpy's diner in the air with his hands and brought it back down. Polly and I were amazed. "I don't believe this!" Polly exclaimed. "I have another sidekick, Frobo, how'd you and Rowena like to have some fun?"

Frobo and Polly began bonding with each other. They were able to get that pie she wanted, but they also caused some destruction to some street signs. Frobo grabbed us both so we could make an escape from the cops.

When Frobo got us back to town, Polly and I began to laugh. "Gotta admit, that was awesome." I admitted. "Nice one, buddy." "I don't know what Anne was so worried about, taking care of someone is easy." Polly said, looking back at the fountain. "Alright, Frobo, time to enter The Splash Zone!" "Polly, are you sure about this, one, he's a lot bigger than you are, and two, we don't know if he's waterproof?!" I asked, but not before she took another dive in the fountain. Frobo used his rockets to take off and make a landing in the fountain, but he ended up flooding the town. "Oh, no!" Polly and I gasped as Frobo was just excited about his jump. "Hey, can't a guy try out a new hairstyle in peace?!" Mayor Toadstool asked with an Elvis Presley kinda look. "Sweet sassy molassy, what is that?!" All of the frogs saw Frobo and basically had the same reaction when they first met me and Anne. "What is that?" Wally asked. "Well, whatever it is, it destroyed the fountain, second time this week, too." Mayor Toadstool replied. "It's some kind of metal abomination." Stumpy said. "No, no, he's not dangerous, he's just a big, sweet, dum-dum." Polly explains. "Frobo, do a trick." Frobo used some laser beams from his eyes to take out a weather vane, causing everyone to scream. "No, wait, stop!" I warned. "Yeah, I just said he was harmless." Polly added before she was accidentally kicked by a frog. "Wow, you really kicked me there." "Oops, sorry, Polly." The frog apologized. That's when Frobo started targeting him and began to charge at the others, too! "Polly, we need to get some help." I said, looking over to see Anne and Sprig. We ran over to them to try and explain everything. "What is that thing?!" Sprig asked. "Is that some kind of crazy, frog robot?" Anne asked. "Uh, maybe." Polly replied as Frobo uncontrollably shot his laser near us. "Well, whatever it is, we've gotta stop it before it hurts anyone!" Anne exclaimed as her and Sprig charged towards Frobo. "No, wait, guys!" Polly shouts, begging them to stop. Frobo attacked them and threw them aside. "Anne, Sprig!" I cried. "Frobo, you gotta stop, this isn't you!" Frobo pushed me aside. "Frobo, no!" Polly shouts. "No, everybody stop! Frobo, I know you're just trying to protect me, everything you did today was because I asked you to, and now I'm asking you to stop." "P-P-Polly." Frobo said and then walked over to me. "Row-ena." "Frobo, your first words!" Polly gasped. "I knew you were a good Frobo boy." I cried. "Well, now that it's calmed down, let's tear this thing apart!" Mayor Toadstool shouted. "Never!" Polly and I exclaimed. "C'mon, Toadstool, isn't there another way?" Anne asked. "Seems like Polly and Rowena really like him." "Anne, I know this town is no stranger to crazy at this point." Stumpy explains. "But, come on." Toadie added. "This Frobo thing is a menace!" Felicia complained. "It destroyed my shack!" Loggle added. "Someone's gotta answer for this mess!" "Your right, I will." Polly sighed. "This wasn't Frobo's fault, it was mine, I taught him how to do all this." "You're not the only one responsible for this." I said. "I let Polly and Frobo do their shenanigans around here, I'm sorry about the damage, me and Polly will do whatever it takes to fix it up, but leave Frobo alone, he's innocent, just like me and Anne." Anne began to blush, or at least it looked like she did. "Frobo, say you're sorry." Polly ordered. "So sorry." Frobo said. "I guess we already accepted three monsters." Mayor Toadstool scoffed. "Yep, I mean, what's one more at this point?" Loggle added. At that moment, Hop Pop and Marcy came out of the seed store. "What in tarnation?" Hop Pop asked. "Hey, Hop Pop." Polly greeted. "Oh my gosh, is that a robot?" Marcy gasped, running over to examine Frobo. "Where did it come from, what is it made of, can I have one?" "What's a robot?" Hop Pop asked. "Too hard to explain!" I replied. "So, I know this is a lot to take in, but can we please keep him?" Polly asked. "I'll be his big sister, I'm ready to take care of someone." Anne and Sprig gasped. "Your welcome, I guess." I said. "Uh, I'm not sure, Polly, it sure seems dangerous." Hop Pop replied. "I mean, can it do anything useful?" "Show him, Frobo." Polly said as Frobo began to plant a mini garden of flowers, which made Hop Pop really excited. "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, MR FROBO!" Hop Pop exclaimed. "So, do anything else?" Frobo made some multigrain toast from his head and they all cheered. "Wow, first, underground computers, and now, a robot?" Anne asked. "Wait a second, guys, you don't think that thing was what got built in the Ruins of Disaster, do you?" "No way, and followed us all the way home?" Sprig asked. "That would've been hundreds of miles." "I'm not sure, possibly." I replied. We all paused for a moment. "Nah!"

Anne's POV

After everyone went to bed, I couldn't sleep the best. There was only one thing on my mind that night. Rowena. The way she handled the townspeople with Frobo. I never thought I'd be this close with her. I'm kinda confused. I have this feeling when I'm with Rowena, a different feeling from when I'm with Marcy, Sasha, or even Sprig and Polly. I LIKE her.
