Amphibia X Male Reader

Chapter 37

The Plantars are seen riding Bessie along a parking lot, looking for an open spot. Sprig spotted one and immediately told Hop Pop about it 

Sprig: "Hey, there's an open spot."

Polly: "I don't know, looks a little snug."

Hop Pop rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, you." He then reversed Bessie into the tight spot but the other snails began to chirp. Alerting a nearby Sheriff who was eating a sandwich for lunch. He spotted Hop Pop and gave him a slow head shake, only for Hop Pop to give him a slow nod.

Hop Pop: "All right, kids, meet back here in 15 minutes." Everyone got off Bessie.

Sprig: "Big Bath & Beyond, here I come."

Y/N: "Time to check out the schoolhouse to see how things are going."

Everyone split up as Hop Pop went to a store with a sign reading "Ascots Unlimited."

Hop Pop: "Don't mind if I do."

…

Inside the store, Hop Pop placed five ascots on the counter in front of a green frog named Wartilda.

Wartilda: "Well, good morning, Hopadiah."

Hop Pop: "Morning, Wartilda. How are the kids?"

Wartilda: "Great. You know, my daughter just got accepted to Newtopia University." She pointed at a poster on the wall. Hop Pop let out an amused whistle.

Hop Pop: "That's the big league right there"

Wartilda nodded her head in agreement. "Yep, she's got a bright future. Good thing too. Ascots aren't as popular as they used to be."

Hop Pop let out a defeated sigh. "Yeah, vegetables aren't doing so hot either. People these days are all about fruit. That's life, I suppose. Um, maybe only five ascots this month, Wartilda."

After Hop Pop bought his ascots, he left the store with a sad look on his face, worried about the future.

Hop Pop: "Sure wish I could give Sprig and Polly a better future." He then heard frogs oohing and awing. "Huh? Well, what's over there, more ascots?"

Hop Pop ran over to see the rest of the gang looking at the town message board. He walked over to get a better look and saw a large poster reading, "Amphibia Has Got Talent."

Sprig: "Whoo-hoo! Amphibia's Got Talent is coming to Wartwood."

Y/N: "Sounds interesting."

Sprig: "It is!"

Hop Pop: "Wait, what is this nonsense?"

Anne: "We've got the same thing in our world. It's a contest where regular people get on stage and try to prove they're special."

Polly: "That sounds potentially humiliating."

Anne: "Yeah, you get it."

Polly: "Yeah, I get it."

The two snicker while Y/N rolled his eyes.

Y/N: "Bleh… I don't need someone to judge me when they need help from a group of people to make their image look good."

Sprig: "Auditions are being held this weekend!" He looked at the others. "Hey. Could be fun to play my fiddle in front of a crowd." He pulled out his fiddle and played a really neat and quick tune.

Y/N: "Well done Sprig."

Hop Pop: "I don't know, Sprig."

Anne turned her attention to Polly. "One thing's for sure. Winning this kinda thing sets you up for a life of success and opportunity."
