SASHA'S POV

Sasha can't believe that, in just a few hours, he discovered he's about to become a superhero like Anne, she kinda fixed up stuff with Marcy and solved a fucking riddle. Her, the dumbest of their trio, just solved a riddle and probably saved the world doing that. 

She smiles, satisfied, and seats at the table. When Anne said to Hop Pop the news, he called all the most important frogs for a reunion. They have to decide how to fight the LandCrusher. Anne, Marcy and Sasha are sitting close, on a side of the table. A huge map and some chestnuts are placed on it.

Hop Pop tries to reach everybody's attention, there's a lot of noise inside the room. All the frogs are talking, muttering, someone is even playing an instrument for the boredom. 

-Please...guys...listen to me!- Hop Pop speaks louder but the effect is always the same: he's ignored. Anne stands up and decides to help Hop Pop: Sasha looks shocked at her while she lightens up her hands and a strong, blue light invades all the room. The frogs close their eyes, blind for an istant. 

-LISTEN TO HOP POP, please!- Anne says, peremptory. For a second she looks like a true leader, her hands and eyes and hair shine blue. Sasha clears her throat, nervous, and looks away. When did Anne become so beautiful? Anne seats down again and crosses her legs while the light fades away. Marcy chuckles and leans at her shoulder. 

-You're scary...- They laugh together and Sasha bites her lower lip. She feels still pretty cut off. 

-Thanks Anne. Now!- Hop Pop points a stick on the map where is the cave of the LandCrusher. 

-We have to beat a huge monster, frogs! The fear of our village. Anne is here to help us and her human friends will help her! The plan is to wait for the LandCrusher to exit the cave, fight it while it is in the swamp near Wartwood, and then enter inside the cave. Any questions?- Everybody stay silent. 

-Good. This night, when the LandCrusher will exit the cave, we will have to be ready! We'll place a trap here, in this wood. We can't dig a hole, the LandCrusher would easily overpass it. So, we thought about a net. But not a simple net: in fact, we have to build a net that connects every tree to each other.- Hop Pop explains. 

-Like a spider web!- Marcy explains better, it's their idea. Since Sasha remembers Marcy's able to talk in front of people just when they're explaining a project. 

-In fact, we'll use true spiderwebs! The strands must be transparent or white so the LandCrusher won't see those. When we place the net, we have to be sure to put it high on the trees. Then, some frogs will stay on the trees and when the LandCrusher comes, they'll untie some particular knots and the net will slip down on the trees.- Marcy makes a nervous chuckles when they notice not every frog have understood. 

-To be clear, the net will fall on the LandCrusher but it will still be connected to the trees.- Sasha recaps Marcy's discourse and all the frogs nod, now they have understood. Sasha makes another satisfied smile. Yes, she likes those frogs. Marcy nods. 

-Exactly. Thanks, Sash.- They mutter without looking at Sasha and he feels a hint of paint. So, in the end they didn't fix everything. 

-Now, we'll divide in three groups! One group will go search more huge spiderwebs, another group will start to braid the spiderwebs and another will go with Marcy to start marking the right trees!- Hop Pop says and the frogs exit the house. Marcy greets Anne and Sasha with a hint of the head. 

-See ya later, girls!- They say. Anne holds their hand for a second. 

-You sure you got this, Mar Mar?- She asks, worried, but Marcy nods determinated. 

-Of course! And Jelly will help me! Bye!- They say another time before disappearing in the crowd. Sasha sighs. 

-Well, it's rare to see them such excited for something...- Sasha comments, making Anne laugh. 

-Sash, will the toad help us?- Anne asks, turning to the little crowd of toads. Sasha nods. 

-They don't have anything better to do and they want to be helped in their war so...a favour for a favour, I guess.- She hesitates a second, while talking his eyes glance at Anne's hand. Oh, damnit, Waybright! He grabs Anne's hand. 

-What about we go together searching more spiderwebs?- She mutters, her face is boiling. Geez, why he's feeling so much heat on her face?! Anne raises a brow. 

-Mh, I don't know, Waybright...I think it's better off if we split up...- She says and Sasha feels her heart making a flip. 

-What? No!- She bursts out. Anne laughs all of sudden, holds tighter Sasha's hand. 

-Ah, I got ya another time!- She laughs even harder when Sasha looks at her, astonished, his eyes wide opened. 

-...you're so dumb, Boonchuy.- She mutters, hurt. Anne wraps Sasha's shoulders with an arm, leaving her hand, and Sasha forgets all of sudden all his problems. 

-Let's go, Sasha!- Anne laughs again, they both run to a little group of frogs. Sasha has a crazy idea all of sudden. She glances at Anne, swallows, decides it's a bad idea. Then, he changes his mind.  

-Oh, wait Anne, I forgot something!-  Sasha says, stopping all of sudden. Anne stops with her, still holding his hand. 

-What?- 

-We have to return back...uhm...there!- Sasha says, after he glanced around and he spotted a secondary road, empty. Anne furrows but follows him. 

-Sasha, we have to be quick, come on!- She complains when Sasha runs inside the secondary road and drag her with him. Sasha nods. 

-Ok, it'll be quick...!- He promises, stopping another time. No one is looking at them. 

-You're acting so weird...- Anne comments, confused, but Sasha doesn't listen to her. He gently cup Anne's face with his hands and closes the gap between them. He kisses her, fast, she just presses her lips against Anne's for a second. 

-Now we can go!- He says retiring back, redder than the sunset. Sasha doesn't look at Anne while running outside the secondary road, he risks to fall a few times because of some holes on the road. Sasha takes a deep breath only when Anne follows her, avoiding her gaze, and they both start walking directed to the swamp with the other frogs. 

Sasha flinches and lowers her gaze when something touches his hand. He sees Anne's hand, wrapped around his fingers. He swallows but doesn't look at Anne. They're both embarrassed as fuck as they walk, but they don't let go each others' hands.
