The police arrive, right at the same time as Anne's parents get back.

"What the heck is going on?!" Mr. Boonchuy, Raj, said in shock.

"I don't know but we need to find out!" Mrs. Boonchuy, Su-Wei, said as they rushed to the front door, opening it.

"Anne, what happened!? Are you okay!?" Su-Wei said.

"And why is there a man tied up?!" Raj asked as he pointed to the man.

"Now, now, just calm down and let us explain. This here guy tried to rob the shop, even pointed some metal looking thing at Anne." Hop Pop explained.

"Metal looking thing?" Su-Wei asked as she looked to Anne, who pulled out the "metal" thing and gasped before turning to the tied man. "A GUN?! You pointed a gun at my little girl!?"

"Mom, calm down, I'm okay."

"Yeah and the police guys are here to take him away." Sprig said as the police came in and handcuffed the mugger, pulling him from the ground.

"Nice job, you four, but try not to do this again. These situations don't always end as well as this." The policeman said as his partner walked to Anne.

"I'll need to take the gun as evidence, ma'am." The partner said.

"Sure thing, and no bullets were fired either." Anne said as he gave the policeman the gun and the bullets.

"Thank you, try and have a good day." The cop said, before leaving.

"Well, I think that's enough excitement for one day." Su-Wei said, "I think it's best if we all went home."

"But what about the restaurant?" Sprig asked.

"We can handle closing up early for one day. Plus, you all may need to unwind after this. It can be pretty traumatic for certain people." Raj said to the Planters.

"You know what's sad, attempted robbery is actually the most normal thing that's happened to me in a while." Anne said.

"That's... something we've been wanting to talk about." Su-Wei said, "Anne ever since we saw your... powers, we've been wanting to know more about what happened to you."

"Oh! Okay, sure." Anne said as they closed up the restaurant and headed back home.

Whatever they wanted to talk about with her strange powers from the calamity box gems, Anne could answer them as best as she could. They got home and locked the door behind them.

"Anne, we know this could be a sour topic, but we wanted to know... Sasha and Marcy have been missing too, were they there?"

Anne got a flashback to seeing Marcy getting a sword to the chest. She's kept trying to remain optimistic, but each day it was getting harder to keep thinking that she lived.

"…..Yes. They were transported to Amphibia with me but they were teleported to different areas." Anne said as they all sat in the den of the house. "Sasha was teleported near the toads and Marcy was teleported into the capital city run by newts."

"Toads and newts? I thought that world just has frogs." Raj said to the Plantars.

"Well, it's not called Frogphibia." Hop Pop said.

"Anyway, we've had a... rocky relationship since we reunited." Anne said, "I... had to fight Sasha, multiple times, I even gave her a scar on her cheek. Then there's Marcy. Turns out she was the one that got us stuck there to begin with."

Anne has tears beginning to roll down her face.

"Oh, frog, how do I say this? I... I watched her get stabbed through the heart. She was stabbed by the person she thought she could trust, I feel like she considered him family."

"Marcy was stabbed?!" Raj and Su-Wei asked in shock!

"We believe she's still alive, Newtopia had the most advanced technology in all of Amphibia." Hop Pop added to try and calm them down.

"And... where did your powers come from?" Raj asked.

"I got them from the three gems in the chest, the Calamity Box. Turns out, each of us were infused with the power of one gem each. None of us knew it until that day I left Amphibia." Anne said as she looked over her hands. "And there's something…..strange about them. Every time I use them, it feels like a rush of energy but afterwards, it feels like I'm drained of everything."

"So that's why you passed out after you kicked that bomb into space."

"If it takes so much out of you, why don't you stop using it or learn to control it in shorter amounts?" Raj asked.

"I've tried but the situation keeps requiring I use it and I can't control how much comes out each time. It depends on how I'm feeling." Anne said to them.

"I never asked for these powers but I was given them." Anne said.

"Well, all that matters is that you're back." Su-Wei said.

Anne bit her lip, knowing they won't react well to what she's about to say.

"I'm going to find a way back."
