"For the Plantars? We know already." Raj said with a shrug.
"No…what I'm saying is, I need to find a way back so I can go with them." Anne cleared up.
"What?! But we just got you back!" Su-Wei said.
"I need to save my friends." Anne said, "Listen, it doesn't mean I'll be gone forever, I'll just go save my friends, and come back. I might even be able to find a way to travel between worlds whenever I want."
"But why if you don't? We can't handle losing you again!" Su-Wei said to Anne, beginning to cry.
"I know, but I could never live with myself if I let someone get hurt because I did nothing." Anne said.
"This…. This isn't like you, Anne." Raj said in shock, surprised by how mature Anne was about this. "That place really changed you."
"It really did." Anne said quietly, "I hope you are okay with how much I changed."
"We are but we still worry about you. This is a big risk you're taking, what if you don't come back this time?" Raj asked as he put a hand in his chest. "I don't think either my heart or your mothers could take that."
"It won't come to that, I will build a portal from scratch if that's what it takes." Anne said.
Su-Wei held her tears in before hugging back.
"I trust you."
As Anne was hugging her mother, Hop Pop was reminded of his daughter and her husband before they died. He was heartbroken when he lost them and he would make sure Raj and Su-Wei didn't fell that either. After all, Anne is Boonchuy AND a Planter.
"Sprig, Polly, I need to talk to you in private." Hop Pop said.
"Huh? Why Hop Pop?" Sprig asked.
Polly elbowed her brother as she shook her head.
"Read the room! He wants to give Anne a moment with her parents." Polly whispered to him.
They left and went to another room.
"Listen kids, we need to find a way to make sure Anne doesn't get stuck in Amphibia again."
"Yeah, we figured that. With the promise she made." Polly said to him.
"Yes, but there's no telling what might happen to the box after we get back." Hop pop said.
"Well, Andrias isn't just going to let it break, so we could still use it to get Anne home. Maybe even visit her if we can figure how it works like Marcy did." Sprig said.
"While that's true, I wouldn't put it past him to break it if he comes close to losing."
"Not if we stop him!" Polly said with her nub hand in the air.
Hop Pop smiled, these kids may be the death of him, but he was happy to have them. He gave them a hug, surprising them but the kids quickly hugged him back.
"I know I don't say it enough, but I love you kids." Hop Pop said.
"We love you too, Hop Pop." They said with smiles.
As the two families enjoyed their embrace, a spark appeared outside of Los Angeles before it fully expanded into a portal from Amphibia. The robot that Darcy wanted sent to take care of Anne and the Plantars was coming through.
