"Anne befriends toad soldiers to gain respect in Wartwood, but must choose between her new respect and her frog family."

--------------------------------------

Today you with Anne and the Plantars went shopping at the "Grub & Go". A typical family shopping trip. You never liked it, considering your mom used to like shopping for TWO OR THREE HOURS. But this was not the case in Amphibia, you could shop calmly yourself without waiting for anyone. You walked between the shelves, putting something like jam and yogurt in a basket. As well as fried wasp larvae. You never loved them and even feared them, but now you can take revenge on them by eating their cubs.

When you finished shopping, you went outside, standing next to the Plantars, waiting for Anne. After about 2 minutes, she left the store... not in a very good mood.

— So did you get the beetle jerky you-- hey, what's wrong?

Anne sighed.

— Well, it's just... I've been here over a month now, and the townspeople still treat me crummy. I just wish they were a little nicer.

— Oh, that's just the way these frogs are. Slow to accept, and even slower to respect. It's actually our town motto, — you looked around and... there really was a hanging sign with this phrase, — You'll find a way to get their respect, in your own weird Anne way.

You walked over and nudged her with your elbow.

— Besides, you're not the only one. The locals don't really care for me either.

— Most likely due to the fact that you hang out in the barn all day, — Anne smiled playfully. And to be honest, she's right. You were even embarrassed.

— Well, we have what we have, — you shrugged.

— Now, who wants pill bug pancakes?

— Ooh! My favorite!..... I've been here too long.

You got on Bessie and drove home. While you were driving, you noticed that the statue in the middle of the town changed to Toadstool kissing... a tadpole. Bad taste.

— Well, that statue's new.

— And tasteless. Woof!

Suddenly, Bessie stopped and chirped in alarm. You and Anne got off her.

— Whoa, whoa, girl. Easy. What's wrong?

You all suddenly heard the sound of wheels. Looking back into the distance, you saw... toads. Oh no. You had a bad history with them, considering you stole survival items and food from them. So you covered yourself with the hood of your cloak and wrapped yourself tighter. In the meantime, these toads have stopped outside City Hall.

— Ah! Nothing like cracking your neck after a long drive. Ain't that right?

Toadstool himself came out of the mayor's office.

— Oh, good. You're here. Toadie, give 'em the list.

— Who are those guys?

— Toads from Toad Tower. They rule over the entire valley.

— Toad what?

Sprig showed Boonchuy a map of the valley.

— It's a big, scary tower deep in the swamp and the toads that live there are the valley's fiercest warriors.

— Whoa! Cool.

— Cool, yes. But they can be a rough sort.

You decided to speak.
