𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄 opened her locker trying to get her books before homeroom. When she closed the locker door, she saw Sasha's face appear behind the door. "Geez, Sash! What the heck!?" She jumped backwards, dropping the binder that she had just taken out. Before she could swoop down to pick it up, Sasha got it for her. "Are you gonna give it back...or—" Anne waited hoping to receive her binder back before the bell rang.

"Just figured I'd carry it for you." Sasha said, obviously struggling with her binder and pencil case already.

"Wow, and they say chivalry is dead." Anne joked, in the hopes her girlfriend would realize that she could handle her own school books.

The blonde was about to retaliate when a group of students passed by, "If it isn't Frog Girl and Blondielocks. Thought you two would get held back because of your adventures in Oz."

"Very funny." Sasha said, stoically.

"Yeah, it's actually—" Anne was about to say Amphibia, but she caught the word on her tongue before it could slip out. "It's actually just a hoax. It was just special effects promotion for Fumigator 6..." She trailed off, about to continue but noticed their uninterested faces.

"Anyway," The bully cut off, "it won't be long until this school eats you alive."

"But have fun!" Another student said, waving away. They were practically gloating in being rude to the two. A
few members of the group kept their rude glares on the couple.

Sasha looked disappointed, "You had a chance to tell them that you were literally a superhero. They would've left you alone if you let them believe you could still super punch them into oblivion."

"No, they would've made me the new class clown." She sighed, "And you know what Mr. X said. Frogvasion information is completely classified. It was all covered up by the F.B.I. months ago." Anne walked to her homeroom, holding her sides in nervousness.

"Yeah, yeah. I just thought maybe you'd stand up to bullies for a change." Anne looked at Sasha, pausing in confusion. However, the blond was intensely focused on holding up the binders. "Also, forgot to mention, I can't eat lunch with you today. There's cheer tryouts then and—"

"It's ok. I get it." She placed a hand on Sasha's shoulder. Her umber-colored eyes gazing with admiration in the icy blue of Sasha's eyes. "You'll ace this."

Sash turned quickly yet Anne still caught a glimpse of the small smile that formed on her girlfriend's face. "So, where's your first class?"

"I'll just take it." Anne said, snatching the binder back. She rushed up the stairs, "Catch ya later, Waybright!"

The chattering of the school bell woke Sasha from her gay trance and she rushed down the hallway to her own homeroom. As class went on her mind spun with thoughts. The encouragement from Anne. The tryouts...The promise she made for tonight. She fidgeted in her seat anxiously as the monotonous grammar lectures from her English teacher played like soft background music. Fighting off the urge to fall asleep, she sank into daydreams instead. Filling her time with fantasies of how things would work out later today. Complete and utter focus on her goals, that's how she was able to a achieve so much back before Amphibia. Certainly a little bit of reverting into old ways wouldn't be so bad, right? It was for a good cause.

Anne was struggling in her first class in science. It wasn't easy to homeschool herself while having to fight a literal war between two worlds. She had lost a lot more knowledge than she had thought. She attempted to work harder, take stronger notes. Applying herself to offer up answers and ask questions. Her science teacher was impressed with Anne's eagerness and spared a quick chat with her before she moved to her next class. "You've got a real passion for this stuff. Did you ever think of joining the eco science club?" Anne's teacher asked, holding out a pamphlet with her manicured hands. Frogs were painted into designs in her nails. She took that as a small sign from the universe. Maybe the cat up there was really looking out for her.
