Hop.

Hop. Hop.
A slight squash in the wet grass. Hop, and a Pounce.

"Gotcha!"

The dark haired girl brimmed with excitement as she ran back to town. Too concerned with sharing the frog with her two best friends, she didn't notice the man on the road. And so they collided, and as she fell and screamed in surprise, she let go of her prize.

Hop. Hop. Ribbit. The fledging frog hopped back to his marshy home.

"Pollywog, no! Wait!" Yuffie cried as she scrambled to get off the man. It wasn't until she was around the corner that she remembered to yell, "Sorry, sir!"

The man could only chuckle, for as he watched Yuffie clamber and skip down the road, he swore that she had a little tail.


In case you missed it, the "cool analogy" is that Yuffie is in fact a "pollywog" herself; that she is in between development from childhood to adulthood.

And yes, this too was inspired at camp.
