And Episode 2 is here! I know I said it was Episode 1 Part 2, but then I realized each is their own episode, so yeah. But besides that, let's get into the chapter!

Episode 2: Best Fronds

We open up to a flashback that takes place at a thrift shop on Planet Earth. It is a normal thrift shop, with your typical things. We then come to Oona looking up at a strange box on top of the shelf.

"All right Oona, you can do this," she tells herself, looking around to make sure no one is looking. The cashier is asleep.

Oona grabs the box and puts it in her backpack, and looks to two girls, one with blonde, curly hair, and another girl with pink hair, who gives her a thumbs up. She then walks out of the store. The three girls are at the park at night with the box. Oona opens the box, causing a bright light to come out of it and envelops them. Oona screams and wakes up.

Oona: "Guy, guys, guys. I just had the craziest dream. I was trapped in a world with frog pe-Oh."

*croak*

"Right."

Gil: "Hey Oona. Sleep good?"

Nonny: "Careful, Gil! It could be hungry."

Zooli: "For your guts!"

Oona: "Dude, relax. I am not gonna eat something that clearly doesn't bathe."

Nonny: "Fair point."

Gil: "See? Told you it was harmless."

Nonny: "Hmph. For now."

Zooli: "Just give me an excuse to use old Doris here."

Oona: "I think the little one wants to kill me."

Gil: "Yup. So, you must be so excited to be trapped in another world. Very jealous. Oh!"

Oona: "(chuckles) It's not all that. I miss my home and my stuff and especially…my friends." Oona hands the picture over to Gil.

"Without them, I just feel kind of lost, you know?" she tells him.

Gil: "Well then, why don't I be your friend in the meantime?"

"You?"

"Me!"

"You."

Gil: "Come on. It'll be fun! What did you do together?"

Oona: "Everything. Marathon, dumb TV shows, drink boba till we vomited, hung out at the beach."

Gil: "Oh, we've got a lake. Would going there with me make you feel less homesick?"

Oona looks up the photo and back at Gil a few times.

Gil: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"It's gonna be great."

Oona: "I like your moxie, frog child. Let's do it!"

Oona changes to get ready for the lake swimming.

Gil: "You ready to go?"

Oona: "Yeah-ah!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" they both shout.

Nonny: "And where do you two think you're going?"

Gil: "We're going to the lake."

Oona: "Why? You want in? You wanna come?"

Nonny: "Absolutely not! Look, Oona. You're a new, unsettling, strange, bizzare, gangly, horrifying–"

"Thanks. I got it."

"Point is, the frogs in this town can be pretty small-minded." Nonny says. "And paranoid. We just need to give them time to get used to you. I think it's best you stay put."

"But-"

"No buts! Now I'm gonna go into my study to get a little reading done. Don't do anything stupid."

Oona: "Ugh! Adults are all the same. Curfews. Rules. Old."

Gil: Yeah, looks like we're stuck here. Ooh! I know what'll be fun. Let's try some of Nonny's pain peppers. So hot, they'll make you wish you were dead. [humming] [screaming] Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! [gurgling] Someone just kill me, please! Bleh. Your turn.

Oona: "No, thanks. I'd rather go to the lake."

Gil: "Ahh- What? But Nonny said, uh–"

Oona: "Gil, you wanna know the best thing about friendship? When you got your friends by your side, anything is possible. Whatever you want, a real friend will help you get it. And you know what I want?"

Gil: "The lake!"

Oona: "Yup. Now let's go rob an old man!

Gil: "Ew."

Oona: Yeah, that didn't sound as cool as I wanted it to.

Oona: "Any ideas?"

"Ooh! What if we use fishing line to lower me from the ceiling? Then I grab the key right out of Nonny's pocket. I'll move like a shadow." Gil suggest before almost knocking a vase down.

Gil: "Shadows knock things over sometime."

Oona: "Do you hear that?"

They look over to see Nonny snoring with his eyes open.

Oona: "No way. This might be the creepiest thing I've ever seen."

Gil: "Happens all the time. He makes a great scarecrow."

Oona: "[sniffs] Know what this smells like?"

Gil: "[inhales, blubbering] A key that's been in someone's pocket?"

Oona: "Freedom!"

Gil: "That was my second guess!"

Oona: "[sighs] This is great. Two pals beatin' the odds to have some fun. Here. Smile! Whoa. Hey, that turned out great."

Gil: "I don't know what's crazier, that you just stole my soul in a tiny box, or that we look so incredible. I gotta say, this friend business is amazing!"

Oona: "Didn't you have friends before I showed up?"

Gil: "Uh…"

[giggles]

Little frog: "Your turn."

Gil: "Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! Check this out! Aaah!"

[both screaming]

Gil: "Aaah! Help! It's eating me alive!"

[screaming]

Gil: "Ha-ha! I'm just kidding, guys. Aaah! Aaah!"

[screaming]

Gil: "Kids around here don't really get me."

Oona: "Well, hey, they are missin' out. Come on."

Gil: "So, is punching part of friendship?"

Oona: "Absolutely."

Gil: "We made it."

Oona: "Whoa. It's beautiful. You ready, dude? Yeah! Whoa-ho!"

Gil: "Whoo-hoo! Yeah!"

Oona: "Oh."

Gil: "Oh. This was not here last week."

Oona: "Huh. Hmm. I know exactly what's going on here. Some jerk just wants this beautiful lake all to themselves. Well, forget that."

Gil: "Ah, I don't know, Oona. Whoever wrote this wrote it in a hurry, like they were scared to be here."

Oona: "Or maybe they just had bad handwriting. Come on. Don't be a buzzkill. Ooh, that's nice.

Hey, what are you doing?"

Gil: "Something's not right here. Let's just go back."

Oona: "Ugh, I thought you were trying to be my friend."

Gil: "I am."

Oona: "Well, this is what friends do. Remember? They help each other get the things they want."

Gil: "Huh?"

Oona: "Look, if a friend likes a pencil case, you get it for them. If your friend likes your new shoes, you give them to her. And if a friend wants you to steal a crazy music box from a thrift store, even if you don't really want to, you do it, okay? Because if you don't, they might not want to be your friend anymore."

Gil: "Fine."

Oona: "Fine."

Gil: "[panting] Whoo-hoo!"

Oona: "Ah, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! Cannonball!"

[both laughing]

[water skipper whinnying]

Oona: "Whoo-hoo!"

Gil: "Yeah!"

[chuckling]

Oona: "Uh…"

Gil: "I was blinking, wasn't I?"

[screaming]

[roaring]

Oona: "Stupid non-webbed human hands. I thought this tail would help me."

Gil: "Oona! [grunts] Ah. That explains the sign."

Oona: "Gil, I'm just slowing you down, buddy. Get out of here. This was my fault anyway. I should have listened to you."

Gil: "Friend punch!"

Oona: "Ow! Hey."

Gil: "Never! I'm not about to let my first real friend get eaten. We're in this together."

Oona: "Uh, any ideas? Ah! What are you doing?"

Gil: "I have a plan. Stand up!"

Oona: "Uh, okay."

Gil: "When I count to three, duck."

Oona: "What? Are you crazy?"

Gil: "Just trust me. All right. One, two... three!"

Oona: "Gil! Vengeance! Take this and this! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa!" [She's thrown into the lake. She gasps when the water snake appears above her, only to start emitting smoke from its mouth and spitting a screaming Gil out.]

Oona: "You're alive. What did you do?"

Gil: [pulls out a pain pepper] "So hot, they'll make you wish you were dead."

Oona: "You little genius, you."

Gil: "And it looks like he couldn't take the heat."

[both laughing]

The creature returns and roars louder

Oona: "Run!"

Gil: "Death approaches!"

Nonny: [sighs, mumbles] [gasps] "I'm up! I'm awake! The key. It's gone! Oh, no. Did they get out? Is the town rioting? Are they dead? Has Oona eaten the kids, THE WHOLE TOWN? [panting] What's this now? It's still locked."

[dice rattling]

Oona: "Come on. Mama needs a new pair of shoes. Seriously though, I do need new shoes."

Nonny: "You guys been here all day, huh?"

Oona: "Yeah, dude. I'm on a winning streak."

Gil: "I owe her my first-born child."

Oona: "Oh, by the way, Nonny. We found this on the floor. You must have dropped it."

Nonny: "Dang shallow pockets. Well, you get what you pay for."

Zooli: "Aha!"

Oona: "'Sup, Zooli?"

Zooli: "You're not gonna eat us, are you? You're not even gonna try. Dis... appointing."

[sighs dramatically]

Oona: "Hey, sorry I almost got us killed today."

Gil: "Are you kidding? That was the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me! My heart was beating faster than a dragonfly on a sugar rush. In fact, I'm feeling a little... sleepy." [snoring] [croaking]

Oona: "Deema, Molly, I hope you guys are okay, because I am."

Meanwhile, in a huge tower where it's raining, a big fish with a grumpy look and a glowing eye appears.

Grumpfish: "Take a look at this please, Deema. It was found far from here, in the South Forest. Now we know you've been lying to us. Now we know there are more of you."

It ends with it showing an imprisoned Deema, stuck in a jail cell.

Authors Notes

That's the end of episode two! I'll be honest, there are only a few season one episodes I'm actually excited to do, since this one has most of the boring ones. But this does reveal a few more characters to update:

Deema is Sasha for a lot of reasons. They both have yellow hair and similar voices, and they're personalities are somewhat similar, each funny and coolish.

Grumpfish is Grime because, just look at them both. They fit each other perfectly, and would like each other if they met.

Molly will be Marcy because, well for one, Oona and Deema already took up the spots, so Molly was left with Marcy. And similar with the other two, they have similar personalities, with both Molly and Marcy being super kind and smart. And yes, this does make Molly a gamer hehe.

Please leave your reviews for character suggestions. Next is Cane Crazy and Flood, Sweat and Tears!
