So, real quick, one small, important note. As I'm sure many of you who are on fanfiction.net are aware, there's been a problem with spammers sending out private messages on that site. It's gotten so bad that I was finally forced to disable PM messages so that I stop receiving them. This, unfortunately, means that I am no longer able to reply to reviews on that site. To those of you who read and review my story there, I am sorry, as I generally like to reply to reviews if I have the time, and like to respond to questions and comments you may have.
In the grand scheme of things, seeing as I'm reachable in a variety of other ways, I don't feel it's that big a loss. But I did want to at least make you aware so that you know I'm not ignoring you; I just don't do PMs on that site anymore. You can, of course, still reach me through DeviantART, Discord, or BlueSky (I recently got an account there). I will still reply to reviews on AO3 and Wattpad, so if you've thought about getting an account there, now might be a good time. I'm honestly starting to like those sites a lot more since they let you insert images into your fic and have some other neat features. Also, there's this weird thing going on with fanfiction.net where it doesn't keep any formatting you've made when you paste your document into it. That is starting to get annoying.
But here we are, chapter 60. I can't believe how much this story has grown. We're at about the halfway point of the Arc, and once we finish this on,e we'll only have one more to go. I may actually get to finish this story. I wonder how it will feel if I manage to pull that off. We'll be back in Amphibia after this chapter, and I'm really looking forward to the end of this arc. I have some cool ideas planned, which I hope you'll enjoy. As always, I hope I continue to impress you...
Hop Pop lay on a cold metal slab, not entirely sure where he was. After he had been abducted by Mr. X, he and the others had been transported to some unfamiliar place. He had lost track of time with how long it had been and wondered what was going to happen to him.
I hope Sprig, Polly, and Amara are okay, he thought.
Right at that moment, a bright light turned on in his face. Hop Pop could barely see, but he heard footsteps approaching him.
"Geez, we thespians love the spotlight, but can ya turn this thing down?" he asked.
Mr. X ignored the question. "Who do you work for?"
"No one. I've been working for myself ever since I took over the farm, but even before that, I was self-employed as an actor," replied the frog.
"Oh, were you, honey?" asked Mr. X. "I bet you're a failed actor like that guy who works for the Boonchuys."
"Did you really have to bring that up?" asked Hop Pop indignantly. "That was just mean!"
Mr. X scoffed before continuing, "Enough of that. What's this farm you mentioned? Is that what you call your nefarious alien headquarters?"
"I... What? No," replied Hop Pop. "Say, do you guys have any avocado toast?"
Mr. X's eyes fell as he realized he wasn't getting anywhere with Hop Pop, so he decided to move to a different room, where Sprig was being kept.
"Alright, pinkie, I want to know everything!" said Mr. X. "Start from the beginning."
"I was born on a humid, swampy evening," began Sprig, "just a tiny, cute tadpole with big dreams. Dreams that, at times, feel like they won't ever be accomplished, but still the desire to achieve those dreams burns in my heart like the fire from a flaming aardvark."
