Frog: Yep, it's been three months. Still up here.

He sighs

Sprig: Spring is finally here.

Anne: All right, Sprig. New season, new possibilities. I'm ready to blossom into my best self.

Sprig: So, you're feeling better about the whole Sasha and Deathstroke incident?

Anne and Sub-Zero briefly flashes back to her duel with Sasha and Deathstroke and the look on her unconscious faces.

Sub-Zero: Yep. Totally fine.

Sprig: Oh, cool. 'Cause if I had to fight like that, I'd be devastated. Heck, I'd be upset just hearing someone talk about it.

Anne: Oh, look. Hop Pop and Polly.

Hop Pop: Yoo-hoo!

Anne: Whoa.

They grunts

Sprig: Whoa, Hop Pop. What is this thing?

Hop Pop: Impressive, huh? This here's an all-terrain, custom-modeled family wagon. Calling it the fwagon.

Sprig: Whoa.

Anne: Fwagon? Really?

Hop Pop: Cheap too.

Polly: The previous owners died in it.

Sub-Zero: So why do we need a new wagon?

Hop Pop: Fwagon.

Anne: Not calling it that.

Hop Pop: Well, with the snow melted and the mountain pass open, we can finally travel outside the valley to Newtopia!

Sprig: Oh, my frog! We're going to Newtopia?

Anne/Sub-Zero: What's in Newtopia?

Hop Pop: It's the beating heart of Amphibia. A bustling metropolis full of ancient knowledge, run by the wisest of newts. If anyone can help you two get home, it's them!

Sprig: So mystical.

Sub-Zero: I can't believe it. You mean that this could actually be our ticket home?

Anne: And not only that, but maybe out on the road we'll find Marcy and Talia.

Hop Pop: You betcha. Pack your things, kids. We leave tonight.

All: Whoo-hoo!

Sprig & Polly: We're going to Newtopia!

Hop Pop: Say, Girls, since you both don't have a lot to pack, could you give Chuck the spare key when he swings by?

Anne: Who's Chuck?

Sub-Zero: I can't believe you don't remember Chuck?

Sprig: We played bugball together.

Polly: He grows tulips.

She groans

Anne: Nope, not ringing a bell.

Sub-Zero: And why does he need a key?

Hop Pop: Because I hired him to protect the house from all the things waiting to destroy it.

Anne: Wait! What?

Hop Pop: An empty house is vulnerable, Girls. Needs protectin'. Not to mention our crops, the very soul of a farm. Left alone to face wildfires, locusts, tornadoes, flaming locust tornadoes. Anyway, here you go.

Anne: We didn't realize you guys are risking so much to help us.

Sprig: Eh, he's just being dramatic.
