Amphibia: Calamity War
Chapter 7: Hop 'Til You Drop
The next morning on a sunny day in Los Angeles, the blue birds flew all over the neighborhood when a newspaper boy tossed out a newspaper by riding his bicycles. Suddenly, a tail sticks above from the bush swiveling from left to right. Then a head turns out to be a meerkat raising his head. He looked behind him by the tail and yelped.
Then a meerkat comes out from the bush along with a warthog looking the area to see the cost is clear. They exchange glances, then run through the streets and jumped to another bush. They hide behind the tree when a woman walked past by with her dog. They waited out until the woman is gone. Then they ran over to a palm tree each peek around one side of a tree.
Then they run over to the neighbor's front yard and hide. The warthog known as Pumbaa takes up a position jumped on the recycle can, while the meerkat, Timon hides from on the mail box.
"Tango-Charlie-Alpha. What's your position?" said Timon mimics holding a walkie-talkie
"Uh... Upright, head turned slightly to the left, tail erect." replied Pumbaa.
"Why do I bother?" He mumbled.
Timon uses his hands as if they're spyglasses to search something until he spotted a truck that belongs to a bug exterminator. The reasons that they're following the truck is because he believed that the exterminator prefers to sprayed bugs making him and Pumbaa lose their appetite, but not for long before anything else happened. Soon the truck left the neighbor's house as it droves away.
"Ah-ha." said Timon as he ducks inside the mail box and closed the lid.
Meanwhile at Boonchuys residence, the door opens when Anne stretches and yawn as she went to get some mails, she is stopped by Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop by grabbing her sock eagerly wants to go outside and explore some new things.
"Where you going, Anne?" They said altogether.
"Uuuhh... the mailbox..." Anne answered.
"Sounds exciting! Can we come? Please! Please!" Sprig pleaded as he shakes on top of Hop Pop.
"Uuuhh... Yeah. I guess."
"YAY!" Both Sprig and Hop Pop cheered.
"WOO-HOO!" Polly cheered.
The Plantars fled when they went to put on their disguises. Anne goes out to the mailbox, and then Sprig and Polly come out in their disguises, but the Plantar siblings are now wearing their different disguises except for Hop Pop that still wearing his disguises.
Sprig is now wearing a wore a maroon jacket underneath a pale and dark brown striped shirt. He had a dark green beanie, and revealing a bit of his hair, light grey shoes, and an ivory face-mask, with a cat's mouth imprinted on it.
And as for Polly is now wearing her small brown coat, yellow boots, and put on her hair wig with her teal striped hat on it. They are happy to be with Anne wherever shoe goes since she got back home from Amphibia.
"You know, I used to only get the mail to intercept my report card. Buy these days-" Anne paused when she finds out that the Plantars are not there. "HUH?!"
Anne looked at Polly when she saw two kids riding on scooter and tricycle. Polly waved at these cool kids.
"Hey, smallish humans!" Polly greeted, but seeing that the two cool kids don't stop, she dodges them in jumps out of the way. Polly was not happy at those kids.
"HEY! WATCH IT! YOU OVERGROWN STINKBUGS!" Polly shouted.
Two kids halted and turned around when they are offended.
"What did you call us?" Said the girl offended.
Anne intervenes and picked up Polly and put her on top of her head to prevent an argument.
"Sorry, sorry... she's just a baby." Anne apologized when she walked away from the kids.
"Weirdest baby I've ever seen." The boy commented.
Polly angrily growls at them. Now it is shown a lumberjack carrying firewood with a shredding machine. When he leaves, Sprig comes out of his hiding place and takes a look at the part where firewood comes in.
"Ooooh! That looks fun..." Sprig curious.
"SPRIG! NO!" Anne shouted as she grab Sprig panted.
Then she heard Hop Pop. She looked and gasp where we Hop Pop was talking to a business man holding a board.
"A free vacation? Just for listening to your talk? Well, sign me up." said Hop Pop.
Before he was about to sign, but Anne grabbed him by his hair dragging and walked off from the business man. Now Anne takes the Plantars straight back to the Boonchuy residence and closes on the front door. Anne stormed to the kitchen to get something to drink when she open the fridge to pulled out a can of orange juice and closed it as she drinks it down until its empty. Her parents were staring at her concerned while making breakfast.
"Something wrong, kiddo?" Mr. Boonchuy asked.
"Where do I start. Polly nearly got in a fight, Hop Pop was second away from getting scammed, and Sprig almost got into a wood chip!" Anne exclaimed.
"Wait, is Sprig made out of the wood?" Mrs. Boonchuy confused.
"(sigh) I'm exhausted just trying to keep them out alive!"
Her parents give a glanced and her mother chuckles.
"Sound like being a parent." Mrs. Boonchuy chuckled.
"The trick is ease them into the world, slow and steady like how I'm easing this egg into-" His word got cut off when the egg cracked too soon. "Dang it!"
"Just be patient. This is a lot new for them." Mrs. Boonchuy suggested.
"Yeah, you're right. Slow and steady."
Anne exit the kitchen to check on the Plantars, but halt when she gasp and saw Sprig was about to reached out his tongue at the fan ceiling, then looked at Polly shouted at the kids by looking through the window.
"Think you're tough?! Bring it on human!" Polly taunted.
Then Anne looked at Hop Pop talking on the phone.
"Free money? And all I have to do is give you my bank account numbers?" said Hop Pop talking on the phone.
Anne inhales by took a deep breath and then screaming, but with low voice by closing the window curtain, snatched the phone from Hop Pop, and swipe Sprig down by using a broom. Anne was crossed with them.
"Nope! Slow and steady ain't gonna cut it! You three will be dead in two days!" Anne scolds them.
"Is that a threat?!" Polly snapped.
"You okay, Anne?" Sprig asked.
"Here, take this free stress test I got from that guy." Hop Pop offered.
Anne swung her arm to flip off the papers from Hop Pop.
"No! The responsible thing to do is to train you all at once at the most chaotic and dangerous place I know."
Meanwhile from the outside, Timon and Pumbaa both slowly rise from the box waiting for the bug exterminator while he's spraying some ants on the sidewalk. They glanced at each other.
"Okay, once he's done, he's gonna picked us up while inside the box and when he did, we'll be ready for it." Timon explained. "Are you ready?"
"Ready." Pumbaa nodded.
"Alright, let's do this."
They closed the box lid and waited out until the bug exterminator is finished, but unfortunately a man showed up when picked up the box that says "Returned" which they didn't know and set the box inside the truck and close the trunk. The truck driver got in and drove away from the exterminator.
Later on, the truck arrived and parked by the mall. The driver opens the trunk and took the box out and set on the four wheeled cart that carries box and enter the mall. And speaking of which, we looked inside where Anne and the Plantar are in a place called Willow Brooke Mall, where most people shop and dining at the food court.
"The mall, where I learned most important skills and where you're gonna learn the lessons you need to survive in my world."
"Pfft, survive? Your world is soft, Anne." said Hop Pop.
"Yeah, I mean the animals don't even try to disembowel you." Sprig added.
"Yeah, we don't need those stinking traAAAAHHHHH!" Polly words cut off.
The Plantars fell off by tumbling on the escalator while Anne is watching them fall smug. Then Anne got on the escalator crossing her arm and then she got off the escalator. They looked up at Anne crossing her.
"(ahem) Proceed." said Hop Pop.
"I've been come up with a specific task each of you." said Anne. "First up, Polly, you need to control your temper. It's drawing too much attention and we're trying to keep a low profile."
"I say what I want, when I want!" Polly protest.
"Maybe in Wartwood, but not here and your mission is to go into that store and build a custom plushie without fighting anyone." Anne ordered by pointing her finger to a toy store called "Construct-A-Carnivore".
"Huh? Child's play."
"Sprig, you can't touch everything or you're gonna loose a limb." Anne reminded him.
"But there's so many new surfaces and textures!" Sprig whined.
"Your mission is to walk through that gallery of art installations without touching any of them." said Anne instructed Sprig.
"Eh, looks simple enough."
"Finally, Hop Pop, you need to stop taking free stuff." said Anne "In my world, everything has it's price."
"Then why did they call it "free", Anne? Hmm? Because they think I'm gullible and easily scammed?" Hop Pop asked.
"Yep."
"Oh, well that's actually pretty clever." Hop Pop finally understands.
"Your mission is to make it through kiosk alley without falling for any free scams." said Anne instructed him by pointing her fingers where most people were waiting for him to sign up for free by using credit card.
"I'll be watching all of you from up here. You have 20 minutes to complete your missions."
"And if one of us screws up?" Sprig asked nervously.
"Then you can't be trusted to leave the house...ever!" said Anne but with low tone.
The Plantars were shocked that if one of them screws up, then they'll never leave her house again. They don't want to Anne to get mad.
"Since when did you set the stage?" Hop Pop concerned.
"No way! Scattered!" Polly called.
They were scattered around until they bumped each other and fell.
"Oh boy." Anne commented.
Meanwhile in the backstage, the truck driver dropped off the package and left the cart. Then suddenly, Timon and Pumbaa burst open from the box.
"We're here!" Timon cheered.
But then they didn't notice at first, but until now that they were in the wrong place. Timon felt annoyed once again.
"Wait a minute? This isn't the exterminator truck, we were in the wrong place!"
"Oh, sorry." Pumbaa apologized.
"Sorry, shmorry. Not only that this guy just sprayed some ants and cockroaches, but we've always ended up in the wrong package."
"Well, it happens a lot."
"Whatever, let's get outta here before anyone would notice that we're here." Timon suggested.
They got out from the box and walked through the door that leads them to the mall. Then the delivery man returned, but noticed that package was empty left him confused.
Meanwhile in Construct-A-Carnivore, Polly entered the toy store when she looked at the sign says "Pick yer parts".
"Piece of cake." said Polly when rashberry.
She looked at some toy parts and she started to think carefully until she chooses the body part.
"This will do."
Then Polly grabs two arms, two legs, and pops out from the noses wearing a mouse ear that resembles to Mickey, but Polly took out the nose from her face.
"Hmm, no thanks."
She walked over to the table and set the parts down.
"Don't know why Anne thought this would be difficult."
Polly was about put the arm in, but suddenly a baby took the arm part from Polly and chewed on the arm. Polly was about to complain, but she remembers what Anne said to her about controlling her temper when she heard Anne's voice.
"Build a custom plushie without fighting anyone."
"Oh, hello there." Polly greeted to the baby "I think there's been misunderstanding but-"
Polly was spitted by the baby raspberry on her.
"What the?!" Then Polly spotted a woman. "Hey lady, your chubby spawn is ruining my work!" Polly snapped.
"Did you just call my kid a spawn?!" The mother offended.
"Focus Polly! Don't make a scene!" Polly thought from her mind as twitching her eyes, but instead she sighed.
"Know what? It's fine, I'll just get more-"
Suddenly, the baby in a stroller showed up swiping the left arm and chewed on it.
"Hey!"
Then another took the upper body from Polly when a baby girl is chewing while two more babies approached. Polly started to get annoyed she tried to control her temper when gritted her teeth.
"Must...contain...FURY!"
Meanwhile from in gallery art, Sprig was hoping around when most people took no noticed. Sprig was amazed for all of the arts installation.
"Whoa! Such textures to explore."
Then he hopped over until he saw something that is huge where it shows a huge giant head with a color of orange that was covered with some golden coins and a huge dollar.
"Whoa!"
Sprig jumps up when he's laughing eagerly to touch, but he heard Anne's voice running through his head.
"Then you can't be trusted to leave the house...ever!"
Sprig realized when he opened his eyes wide open. He halted himself in midair and landed on four.
"Well, it's fine. Totally fine. I can just look and appreciate from afar."
He walked off as he started to sing when he hummed, but he started to get nervous every time he passed some arts. He couldn't shake the feelings that he needed to touch something, but he doesn't want his best friend to get mad at him if he broke the rules and failed the mission. And then he stops and look straight at the huge art that has a giant eyeball with some many levers, bells, buttons, and some knick knacks. Sprig was amazed at this art. He wriggled his finger when he walked closely, but he was hesitated.
"Come on Sprig! Fight it!" said Sprig talking to himself then he punched himself.
He repeatedly punching himself to prevent touching something while two persons were standing there confused.
"Must be some kind of performance piece." The man commented.
Meanwhile, Hop Pop is walking as he passed by some kiosks to avoid some scams like he has been told not to.
"Sir, how would like to get your free gift card?"
"You there! You wanna regrow that hair? I know you do."
Hop Pop was hesitated to fall for it until he approached at the camera stand when this man spoke to him.
"Hey there, handsome. Want to start your modeling career with some head shots? Just need your ID. It's one hundred no strings attached free." said the man smiling creepily.
Hop Pop hesitantly slowly taking out his wallet, but slapped himself. He put the wallet back into his coat and walked away. But he took no notice when there's a mall cop is standing on the motor wheel while eating his meal, but his stomach growls and tossed his food away into the trash can.
"It's the last time I get sushi out of a vending machine."
Suddenly, he spotted Hop Pop when mistakenly think he's a stranger wearing his fedora hat and his trench coat. He moved his eyes at the warning flyers says "Stranger Danger" and he gasp. He pulled out his walkie-talkie to calling the authorities.
"Mark here. Got a suspicious looking C.O.D. Creep old dude on radar. I'm in pursuit."
Mark rolled off with his electric scooter to follow Hop Pop. Meanwhile, Anne is standing behind at the balcony staring at the Plantars as she smiles at them for not doing screw ups.
"So far, so good. The Anne Boonchuy trial by fire is really paying off."
"OMG! Anne?! Is it really you?"
Anne looked back at the girl who's been shopping while holding her drink. She ran as she quickly hugged Anne while shocking. Then she lets go of her hug and grab her shoulder shaking
"Where have you been? Is it true that you were missing or ran away or die or something?"
Anne recognized that girl that goes to school with her, however when this girl mentioned it, Anne doesn't really like talking about her experience since being stranded for five months. Anne has to come up with some excuses when she answered.
"Don't be ridiculous, Gabby. I was just at my family's farm in... Alaska...for five months."
"Well now that you're back, I gotta catch you up from all the hot gosh." said Gabby.
Listen, I'm sort of..."
"So, Bridget got mad at Carlos 'cause she thought Carlos went to the movies with Johanna but it was actually Yoko. So then Yoko, they're just stopping bffs until they both got at mad Tommy, because Tommy said we've only been dating since second grade. We're not sold."
Anne started to get bored when listening to Gabby's story.
Sprig keeps crawling on the floor as he complained and groaning.
"(groan) I can't do this! These things are just so cool!"
He turned his body around and looked straight at Anne when she was listening to Gabby.
"Yeah, and then I said "Dude, you're gonna get caught", right? So obvious."
Sprig quickly sit up when he noticed that Anne was distracted.
"Chance."
He twisted his around and looked straight at the exhibit. His body turned around in front. He stands up wriggled his finger. He walked closer to the exhibit and jumped onto it when he touched the mirror.
"Touch."
Then he touched the part from the spikes, then rubbing two cottons on his face.
"Feeling."
He pulled the rope and jumped onto an eyeball. He chuckled, but then he noticed when one of the cottons was ripped off and fell as it bounced off from the spikes and then turned the wheel. Slipped on the lower lever and landed on the lever. Then he felt it started to fell.
"Uh oh."
The art was starting to fell apart as the eyeball fell and then rolling while Sprig is holding on to it by bouncing on each some arts by sticking on a giant paper and then sticking on the homemade cube.
Meanwhile back at the Construct-A-Carnivore, Polly was overcrowded by some babies and toddlers while she's almost finishing up her toy.
"Almost...done! Ha!"
Polly pushed through some toddlers. Polly finished constructing her toy. But suddenly, she was pushed by one of the toddlers as it falls off and landed in front of the baby picking up a toy.
"Gaga?" (Destroy?)
"No! Please! I'm so tired! This madness needs to stop!"
Polly begged the baby not to destroy her toy, but the baby just did.
"Ga!" (Destroy!)
The baby ripped the body part of the plushie apart in half spreading out the fluffs. Poll was completely horrified shocked at what the baby just did. Then Polly started to get mad. Gritting her teeth.
"THAT'S IT!"
Polly made a war cry when she charged at the baby as she started to attack. Polly was about to raise her stubby hands, but another baby girl hit Polly with a rattle. More babies joined the fight while another baby boy broke the bottle in half. They were all fighting each other by some dust clouds everywhere while the mother is holding to a baby wearing something like a leash.
"Someone get the manager!" The woman panicked.
Meanwhile back for Hop Pop as he walked past the sign says "Fountain of Wishes" (Contains Chlorine) when he took no notice. He chuckled when he finally passed some kiosks when he leaned on the fountain.
"Take that Anne. Told ya your world is so easy pea-" He looked and gasp when he saw some coins in the fountain. His eyes were sparkled.
"It can't be! Thousands of coppers just there for the taking, for free?!" Hop Pop exclaimed. He looked back Anne when listening to Gabby's girl chatting.
"They didn't know it, but they ended up going to the same restaurant."
Hop Pop noticed when Anne was distracted.
"Chance!"
He ripped off his coat and his ascot, as he jumped into fountain while his fedora flew off. Suddenly, Mark halt his electric scooter when he saw Hop Pop's coats and fedora lying on the floor. He gasp as he pulls out from his walkie-talkie.
"We got a disc rover stealing wishes in progress. Over."
Mark rolled over to the fountain.
Now back to Anne listening to Gabby's talking when it's been like a minute or an hour.
"So, what started out as a love triangle is now some kind of disgusting love rhombus." Gabby continued her story.
But suddenly they heard Sprigs shouting as the eyeball sticking some arts causing the people to fled when panic. Sprig is running rolling on the eyeball as he tried to not to fall off.
"I MAY HAVE TOUCH SOMETHING!" Sprig hollered.
Anne was totally shocked that Sprig just keep messing up, but holds her temper while Gabby is around.
"Oh shoot. Good to see you Gabs! Gotta go!" said Anne when she ran off.
"Later Anne! Glad to see you back from Alaska!" Gabby waved her arm at Anne.
Anne runs downstairs to get Sprig, but the giant eyeball rolled passed by her. Then she heard Polly yells when she's being chased by moms strolling their babies out from the toy shop when babies crying tossed their rattlers, glass bottles, and pacifiers.
"Gangway! Angry moms coming through!" Polly yelled.
"Well, at least it couldn't get any worse." Anne prayed.
"Help me, Anne! Help me!" Hop Pop hollered.
Anne looked at Hop Pop whose been chase by Mark while carrying some coins in his pockets that is now covered in green.
"Hop Pop?! Why are you green?!" Anne exclaimed.
"That cursed fountain did this to me! You were right, Anne! Everything has its price!"
"Okay, first things first. Gotta clean up this mess." said Anne when she knows what she's doing.
She ran to the trampoline and jumped on it, but didn't notice when a little boy was jumping until Anne landed on the trampoline when jumped off while the boy flew up high screaming while the mother is stood there taking picture on her phone. Meanwhile Timon and Pumbaa are walking through the mall while most people took no noticed.
"Just look at this place. People are everywhere always ripping off each store and restaurants." Timon complained.
"That's probably because they have permission to covered up each name." Pumbaa suggested.
"What do you know about permission? Clearly most people keep suing at each other."
"When?" Pumbaa asked.
"Since the "Copyright Accords", that's how." Timon answered.
"I see you made your point." said Pumbaa.
Then suddenly, Sprig rolled passed them on the giant eyeball when confused. Sprig is still running rolling on a giant eyeball with some wrecked art. Sprig looked straight at the wall as he was expected to crash, but Anne sprang to get Sprig off before it hits as most art broke into pieces. A woman, Karen stood there confused about some broken arts.
"Honestly, I can't tell the difference. Oh hey! Bada bing!"
Timon and Pumbaa stood there confused blinking their eyes.
"What just happen?" Timon confused.
"I have no idea." Pumbaa answered.
Polly was keep running from angry moms until Anne grabbed Polly as a preteen ran quickly to ditch the angry moms before they reached them. By the time three angry moms shows up, they stopped and looked Anne sitting on the bench while Polly was inside Sprig's hoodie when his face is hiding.
Can I help you ladies?" Anne asked kindly.
"Why yes, we're looking for a ruffian who is making trouble for our little angels." said one of the mother.
"I've got just the guy." said Anne when she called the mall cop. "Excuse me, sir! I have a numbers of ladies who'd like to complain."
Mark halted when he cornered at Hop Pop, but stopped by some angry moms marched towards him. He pulled out his walkie talkie to contact.
"Uh, headquarters, I got pack of M.I.D's that is mom in distress here. Send backup! SEND BACKUP!"
Mark was overwhelmed by angry moms while Anne and the Plantars run upstairs and exited through the doors and run towards to the alley. Anne grabbed Sprig's hoodies to pulled them in. But they didn't notice when Timon and Pumbaa were following them to see what's going. He rubbed his finger on his chin thinking about this kid.
Few seconds later when the sun goes down, they were exhausted as they panted taking their breath. Once they're taking a breather, Sprig sadly sat down on the floor thinking they messed up again.
"Well, guess we failed our trials." said Sprig sadly.
"Oh, you think?!" Polly snapped.
"No, no. I'm the one who failed. I shouldn't have put you guys through all this in the first place. It was too much too soon." said Anne blaming herself.
"Don't feel too bad. Turns out we can't stand to learn a few things about your world." said Hop Pop comforting Anne.
"I just really thought by throwing you to the deep end would work. I mean it work for me in Amphibia."
"Uhhhh?" They all said together until they laugh. Anne was totally confused when they laughed until they stopped.
"You barely survived." Hop Pop laugh.
"Yeah, remember when she was looking at her phone and walked right into that pool of quicksand?" Polly remembers that time when Anne was trapped in a quicksand.
"Or when she was napping outside in a swarm of skull suckers trying to carry her away?" Sprig remembers that time when a swarm of giant wasps carrying Anne away sleeping.
Then they laughed again, but Anne didn't remember that part.
"Wait, I don't remember that last part?" Anne confused.
"Anne, we were always looking out for you. Even if you didn't always notice." said Hop Pop.
"Thanks guys, I had no idea and I'll try to do better about easing you into this place." said Anne.
They all hugged together happily as long as they stick together until the end. Then Sprig noticed something about Hop Pop.
"I think we need to get Hop Pop to a shower." Sprig suggested.
"Oh, yes please. My skin is burning." Hop Pop agreed.
Suddenly, they heard a gas sound. Then they started to sniff and pinch their nose.
"UGH! What's that smell?!" Polly disgusted.
"It smells like stink bugs!" Sprig suggested.
"Or skunk that Anne mentioned." Hop Pop added.
"Hardly, but I think it smells like...like..."
Suddenly, the door burst open starling at them when Pumbaa was hurt closing his eyes by the the music starts.
(Alone Together - Timon and Pumbaa)
Pumbaa: Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Excu-u-u-u-use me!
(Pumbaa fell to thrash bins.)
It seems I'm always saying, "Pardon me."
I'm tired of feeling so dismayed.
(Pumbaa got out from the bin.)
But seems that everywhere I go,
They hold their nose and tell me, "Go away!"
"Uh, away?" Sprig confused.
"Away." Pumbaa cried.
"That bad, huh?" Hop Pop asked.
"It stinks!"
"Tell me about it." Polly commented
"Okay."
Pumbaa: I've developed a strong reputation,
A malodorous asphyxiation,
Which has led to my alienation.
I'm lonely, I'm sad, and I stink!
(While singing Pumbaa hoped outside through the door when birds fell follwed by a stray cat and then a turtle hide in a shell. Anne was about to speak, but Timon pops out from the bin.)
Timon: Yeah, well, now that you're being so candid,
I could say that I, too, have been branded.
I was banished, and here I am stranded,
But buddy, y'know what I think?
(Timon catches up with Pumbaa, but stopped and picked up a turtle shell.)
The world out there could be so cold and mean
(He tossed away the turtle shell.)
But you and me, with two heads, is better than one man, who, with no island, if you know what I mean.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt your music performances, but who are what are you?" Hop Pop asked curious about them. Then they started to smile as Timon continued to sing.
Timon: Timon and Pumbaa, Timon and Pumbaa
That sorta has a catchy ring, whee!
Timon and Pumbaa, Timon and Pumbaa.
It sorta makes you wanna sing.
We could be lonely, out here forever.
Just thinking 'bout it makes me sad, but
Timon and Pumbaa, alone together.
Somehow that doesn't sound so bad.
(Music paused)
Anne and the Plantars stood there awkwardly at them after they got out to catch up with them, but for her, she even recognized them back when she was a kid. Then decided to change the subject.
"Okaaay, I'm Anne, and these are my friends, Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop" said Anne introduced her friends to them.
"What's up?" Polly greeted.
"Oh, glad you asked that, kid. You see, when my friend and I are going out for some bugs for breakfast, but unfortunately when that guy shows up bug sprayed all over the street ruining our big meal." Timon explained when changed his emotions.
"You mean the bug exterminator?"
"Yeah, that guy."
"And then our plan is to get into that truck by going inside the package when we thought this could be our chances to sabotaged his work, but then again we ennded up at the mall instead." Pumbaa added.
"Wait, you were there this whole time?" Sprig confused.
"Well, l if you ask me? We didn't know that you all here right until now." Pumbaa answered.
Anne and the Plantars glanced at each other by moving their eyes and glanced back at them. Once again, Anne was about to say something, but Pumbaa beat her to it.
"And before you ask, yes, we saw everything." said Pumbaa.
"And I'm starting to think that you must be that kid who just vanished and come back for over five months." Timon added.
"(gasp) You two know about me?" Anne gasp with eyes sparkles.
"Of course! We heard that you were found by Mickey and friends while Daisy took a picture and posted online and spread everywhere throughout the world wide web!" Pumbaa answered when smiled.
"Wow." said Anne.
"What about us?" Sprig asked.
"Yeah, what about us?" Polly asked.
"Oh, that reminds me, I also heard that you folks got back from uh... what is it called again? Amphibiland?" Timon tried to remember the word.
"It's pronounced "Amphibia"." Pumbaa corrected him.
"Yeah, that one."
"(gasp) Were you spying on us?!" Sprig accused.
"WHO SENT YOU HERE FOR?! DID KING ANDRIAS SENT YOU HERE?!" Polly shouted when jumps out from Sprig.
"Huh? King Andrias?" Timon confused.
"Who's Andrias?" Pumbaa curious.
"He's the newt king of Newtopia trying to take over not just from Amphibia, but all worlds." Anne answered then looked at Polly. "And Polly, they're not spying on us! They're the most popular characters of all the franchise!"
"Eh heheheh, sorry. Force of habits." Polly apologized.
"It's all in the past kid, I heard that you folks are looking out for her. I mean, you three reminded us when Pumbaa and I looked over Simba when he was a cub." said Timon.
"And also raising Bunga as our own nephew. That's what families do."
"Aww." Anne cooed.
Then suddenly, her phone goes off when she looked at her text from her mom says "Anne, where are you at? Are you coming home for dinner?". She gasped when she forgot something.
"Oh shoot! It's my mom! We should be going!" Anne exclaimed.
"You're right, Anne, we should get moving!" said Sprig.
"Wait! You forgot something." Pumbaa called when he pulled Hop Pop's coat and hat.
"Oh, why thank you." Hop Pop thanked when he put his coat and his hat back on.
"You're welcome."
"Well, it was so nice to meet you two, but I'll see you guys later." Anne waved when ran off.
"You too kid!"
"Say to hi your parents for us!" Pumbaa hollered.
"We will!" Anne hollered.
"See ya later!" Sprig waved.
"Don't be a stranger!" Polly waved when she bounces.
Once Anne and her frog family left, Timon looked at Pumbaa putting his hand on his hips.
"So wanna go get something eat?"
(Music continues)
Pumbaa: DOoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh I hear what you're saying correctly?
You could cherish and love and respect me.
We could eat little harmless insecties
And become the bestest of friends.
(Pumbaa sang as he grabs some bugs from under the rock and shoved it all inside Timon's mouth and swallows it.)
Timon: I don't wanna go bursting your bubble.
I'm just saying, we'll stay outta trouble
If the two of us pair up in double,
But don't ever touch me again!
"Sorry."
"Sing!"
Both: Timon and Pumbaa, Timon and Pumbaa.
Pumbaa: A meerkat and a big warthog.
Both: Timon and Pumbaa, Timon and Pumbaa.
Timon: No finer pair of underdogs.
Both: No longer lonely, out here forever.
No matter how it came to pass.
Timon and Pumbaa, Timon and Pumbaa.
When we're together, it's a gas.
Timon and Pumbaa, Timon and Pumbaa.
When we're together, it's a ga-a-a-as!
(Music ends)
The music ends with a gas sound making Timon cringe while Pumbaa looked embarrassed.
So what do you think? I used this song from "Once Upon A Timon" to make an extended ending for this chapter. Please stay tune for the next chapter.
