"You ready?" Sprig asked Anne as she replied, "You set em' up and i knocked em' down." Anne says holding up her tennis racket.

"Okey." Sprig says hopping to one of the many holes in the garden. [Y/n] was in the back she seems to be starting a journal that she could leave here earlier, Anne and Sprig were sometimes teasing her about always keeping her nose in a book, which she didn't listen to them as she takes a bite of her avocado sandwich.

Sprig then launched himself into one of the holes. "Coming at ya!" Sprig yelled as a huge bug flew out of one of the holes. [Y/n] used her her photographic memory and began to sketching the bug. The bug began to fly at Anne and she yelled "backhand!" As she git the bug with her racket.

"Nice swing!" Sprig said popping out of the hole as Anne viewed the bug in the distance. [Y/n] whistle with amazement and she quickly sketched down how they got rid of the bugs and put some notes on side. "I was on Varsity!" Anne said bragging.

[Y/n] glanced up from her book, she saw Anne leaning on her tennis racket, the wind flowing through her hair and the leaves shaking with it, the sun hitting her face in a perfect way... [Y/n] stares at her while eating her sandwich, she shook her head and went back to work, just as Wally appeared.

"A frog child and a monster from the Woods getting along? So.. unnatural," he said playing the accordion. "Pssh! Oh course we get along! We're Sprig and Anne!" Anne said shaking it off. "Anne and Sprig!" Sprig said pointing to himself. "Spranne against the world!" They both yelled, [Y/n] glanced up from her book watched confused, and with that Wally said "Disgusting!"

Anne and Sprig stares at him with grunts, "What about [Y/n] then?" Sprig said, this made Wally gasped feeling offended. "Hey! Watch your mouth! [Y/n] is not a monster and/or A loser! She is awesome, you disgust me Sprig!" Wally then walked along still a litte mad at Sprig, Sprig looked at him confused, "What did i do?!" he asked, Anne just shrug while [Y/n] on the other hand.. stares at Wally softly smiles.

Suddenly Hop pop screamed from inside making [Y/n] slammed shut her book putting it in her waist bag and stand up.

"Was that Hop pop?" Anne asked.

"Sounds like he's in trouble!" Sprig guess.

"We're coming Hop pop!!" they both yelled running into the house with [Y/n] following them.

"Woah! What happened down here?" Anne said entering the basement, which was flooded.

"Hop pop?" Sprig pug his arm up to the water and tried to move the green Moss covering the water. After he did that Hop pop jumped out of the water, "Stay back!! Darned burrow bug, must have chewed the water pipes!"

"My room? My stuff!" Anne said pointing to the water with Sprig in her arms.

"Don't worry Anne i saved your stuff... except your bed.. and your blanket .. and your pillow, pencils, t-shirts, hairbrush."

"Just-.. how long till it's fixed?" Anne asked, "Well, me and [Y/n] or some of us two, gotta find the leak and patch it up good." Hop pop said, [Y/n] nods her head agreeing with him.

"Ooh, lemme help!" Sprig said hopping into the water, but.. "Oh, no ya don't," Hop pop yelled grabbing him, "this here's river water, no telling what creepy critters are swimming around." [Y/n] nods her head agreeing with him again, "i agree, plus it would be too dangerous for you Sprig-sy," [Y/n] explained patting his head making him groan.

"So uh, where am i gonna sleep?" Anne asked, Hop pop hummed, "Well, the living room ain't no palace but the couch is comfy," Hop pop says.

"Uh hello? Anne can bunk with me in my room! How fun will that be?" Sprig suggested.
