The gang were outside the house as Anne was showing videos or pictures of her cat to Sprig and Polly while Y/N was laying down, looking at the clouds.

Anne: "And this bad boy is my kitty Domino. You guys would like her, she's got fire."

Polly: "Aww, she's so tiny. I feel huge!"

Sprig: "Hmm, I will..." He then pulled out a hammer. "Set her free!"

He tried to smash the phone but Anne snatched it back in time. "Please stop doing that..."

Y/N: "Then don't let him grab it." He smelled the air and immediately covered his nose.

Anne: "Ugh, what is that? Did something crawl under the house and die?"

Sprig: "Worse Anne, much worse. Hop Pop is cooking!"

Y/N: "Just how bad can his cooking get!?"

We walked to the house but before Sprig opened the door he looked back at us. "Brace yourself."

Anne: "Brace myself for what?"

Y/N immediately tied his bandana around his nose and mouth. Sprig opened the door and we got blown back from a wave of stink. Inside Hop Pop chopped some bugs up and put them in a pot of soup then tasted it.

Sprig: "What's the plan this year Hop Pop, poison the competition?"

Me: "Heh, nice one. But if you are going to poison the competition do it with something less smelly."

He then hit us both on the head with the spoon.

Hop Pop: "The plan is to win."

Anne: "Win?"

Hop Pop: "The annual village potluck, every year we frogs gather for a great contest." He said pointing at a picture of frogs holding a trophy with a banner above them saying, grand prize.

Hop Pop: "The family who brings the best-tasting dish is showered with love and copper coins. The family with the worst tasting dish spends the night in...the shame cage."

Anne: "Brutal."

Y/N: "Harsh."

Sprig: "And guess which family ends up there every year."

The three of them sighed in sadness. Anne and Y/N felt bad but Anne had an idea. She then slammed her fist on the table. "If you think I'm gonna let my favorite froggy family end up in a cage, you've got another thing coming."

Y/N *whisper*: "The only frog family we know..."

Anne: "I know we're not technically Plantars but maybe we can help."

Sprig: "Anne, Y/N, we'd sure appreciate it."

Anne: "So what are you making over there Hop Hop, sock gumbo."

Hop Pop: "No silly, it's a traditional recipe from my family's cook book. We been using this baby since I was a pollywog."

Anne picked up the book and read through it. Y/N peered over in curiosity. "I think I found your problem guys."

The three of them gasped.

Anne: "Old things are dumb!" She shut the book and dropped it but Hop Pop used his tongue to catch it in time.

Polly: "Oh, that makes sense."

Sprig: "It's all so clear now."

Hop Pop: "But we Planters have always cooked these recipes. What would my great-gam-gam say?"

Anne: "She'd say move on."

Hop Pop: "She was a fierce woman."

Y/N: "Why don't we try to cook something that's not in the book?"
