Amphibia X Male Reader

Chapter 17

The Plantars, Anne, and Y/N were in the living room. Y/N, Sprig, Polly, and Anne were gluing pictures of frogs on a family shrub.

Anne: "You know Hop Pop, back home we call this a family tree."

Hop Pop: "That's because everyone in your world is crazy."

Y/N: "Don't talk about my family like that."

Hop Pop went back to reading the Plantar family history book. "Now where was I…oh yes, great Aunt Gertrude. She was a masterful dirt tilter. I mean, how cool is that!"

Anne, Sprig, and Polly: "Eh…"

Hop Pop: "Oh, and you can forget second cousin Alfred, he was the king!"

This caught everyone's attention. "A king?"

Hop Pop: "Yeah! The king of single-tiered irrigation systems." He turned the book towards us showing the picture of cousin Alfred.

Sprig and Polly groaned as Sprig laid his head on the table. Polly looked up in boredom and Anne laid her chin on her palm uninterested.

Anne: "Yep you lost me…"

Polly: "Our ancestors were boring!"

Sprig: "Were they really all just farm frogs? Where are the artists, the poets, the dreamers?"

Me: "Irrigation systems, nice. Really useful to learn when you're living on a farm."

Hop Pop: "Just farm frogs!? Kids, the point of the shrub is to give you an appreciation for your past. The Plantar family has layers, you just have to know where to look."

Anne: "Layers huh? Ok then, well what's so special about her?" She motioned to a green frog on the family shrub.

Hop Pop: "Polliana? Oh brace yourselves, she wasn't just any farmer!"

Polly gasped in anticipation.

Hop Pop: "She was a turnip farmer!"

Polly groaned from the answer and collapsed on the table.

Anne: "Well as much as I'd love to help. Not gonna find any of my ancestors on your shrub so…" She laid on the couch and started playing a game on her phone.

Y/N: "I don't mind, they're kind of reminding me of my family back home."

Hop Pop: "You don't have to be blood to be a Plantar you know."

Anne: "No, but you do have to be a master stacker to get to level 46…if I can just…" She gamer leaned to focus on her game but lost.

Anne: "Ugh, curse you sudden death round! Why are you so hard…" She whined a bit as Y/N reached over and patted her back.

Y/N: "There there."

Hop Pop: "Anne, this is based on nothing at all but certain that game will rot your brain! Same goes for you too, Y/N. Whatever it is you do on your free time." He tried to squeeze out more glue from the glue bug but nothing came out.

Hop Pop: "Uh-oh, looks like we're out of glue."

Sprig: "Does that mean we have to stop?"

Polly: "Can we do something fun now?"

Hop Pop: "No fun till the shrubs done. Just gonna run to the store real quick and get more glue. Be back in a jiffy." He walked out of the house humming until he bursted back in.

Hoo Pop: "Don't go anywhere!" He slammed the door and left as Sprig and Polly sat on the living room table upset.

Polly: "Ah! You guys are lucky to be outsiders! Our family history is weak!"
