PikachuFanNo9 requested some fics where Amphibia and TOH characters are interacting so I was happy to oblige. There'll probably be more like it soon.

Los Angeles, California, Earth

Date nights for the Calamity Trio haven't changed that much since the three of them got married. They still went places to have a good time. They still enjoyed each other's company. They still started out confident and devolved into blushing messes by the end. Really, the only thing that was different was the wedding rings on their fingers.

That's not to say unexpected things didn't happen though. And when unexpected things happened to these three, chaos usually followed.

Tonight they were dining at a casual restaurant called Reggie's, and something, or rather someone, caught Anne's attention.

"Something on your mind, Anne?" asked Sasha. "You've kinda been distracted for the last minute."

"Wha—? Oh, sorry." Anne hadn't even realized she'd lost focus.

"Nah, it's fine," said Marcy, waving her arm in a placating manner. "But really, whatcha thinking about?"

Anne subtly pointed to the back of the restaurant. "You see that table over there? The one by the painting?"

Sasha and Marcy turned around and looked behind them. There were two people sitting and chatting at the table: a green and turquoise-haired light tan-skinned woman, and her spouse who had lighter skin and shorter, dark hair. The woman wore a casual baseball jersey and the enby wore a t-shirt with the Sonic Youth logo on it.

"What about it?" asked Sasha. "It looks like a normal table to me."

"It's not the table, it's the green-haired woman," said Anne. "There's something off about her."

Marcy turned around and frowned. "Anne Savisa Boonchuy, you know better than judging people based on their appearances."

"I'm serious, Mar-Mar." Anne pointed to the sides of her head. Don't those tufts on the side of her head look a little off? A little amphibian?

Sasha and Marcy looked at the woman again under greater scrutiny and noticed what Anne had: those weren't tufts of hair, those were the woman's ears.

"Oh, I see what you mean," said Sasha.

"Yeah, but how do we know if those are her actual ears?" said Marcy, trying not to get her hopes up. "Maybe they're part of some cosplay."

"But then where's the test of the costume?" replied Anne.

Marcy opened and closed her mouth for a few seconds before conceding Anne had a point. "Yeah, they're probably real. But she otherwise looks human. Would she really have any connection to Amphibia?"

"There's only one way to find out." Anne got out of her seat and started walking toward the back table.

"Wait, Anne. Maybe you should— and she's gone." Sasha groaned.

"That was a classic Marcy move," said Marcy, "and I wasn't even the one to do it."

"One of us should go after her," said Sasha.

"Rock paper scissors?" suggested Marcy.

"Alright," said Sash. "Let's get this over with."

The Calamity Trio didn't know that the multicolor-haired woman had been staring at them as well.

"Vee? Are you alright?" asked Masha. "You look tense."

Vee turned back to her spouse. "Sorry, Mash. I'm just getting an odd magical vibe from those three." She pointed to Anne and co.'s table. "It's not like anything I've ever sensed before."

"Hmm." Masha glanced over at the Calamity Trio's table. The three women looked perfectly ordinary, but they knew very well that magic could be used to disguise one's appearance. "So they're not witches with concealment stones?"

Vee shook her head. "They're not witches, and I don't think they have magic items on them, yet somehow they've been touched by it. Luz sometimes has that vibe to her but it's way less intense than these three. It's weird."

"How high on the WEIRD Scale are we talking about?" asked Masha.

Vee thought for a moment. The WEIRD Scale was something she and Masha had developed for their road trip across the United States. They set out to find everything Wacky, Eccentric, Interesting, Riveting, and Dazzling in the country, and rank them on a scale from 1 to 11. "Well, it's way weirder than the mystery hole in West Virginia, but it's nothing compared to that town in Oregon, so… a solid 7.5." She turned around again and noticed Anne walking toward their table. "Crap! She must've seen me starting!" The basilisk tried to look as innocuous as possible.

"Hi there, I'm Anne." The Thai woman waved. "Can I ask you a quick question?"

Vee gulped and nervously nodded.

"Are you from Amphibia?"

That was not what Vee and Masha were expecting her to say. Masha raised an eyebrow in curiosity but didn't say anything while Vee just stared bewildered.

"Amphibia? I haven't heard of it," she said. "Is that a company?"

Anne visibly deflated. "No, it's a place… nevermind then." She turned to leave but Masha grabbed her arm.

"Wait a second, you're Anne Boonchuy, aren't you?"

"Yeah, that's me," said Anne. She chuckled. "I guess I am a little famous. Being stuck in another world would do that."

Everything then clicked for Vee. "Oh yeah, my mom was reading about you and your friends when it happened. But why did you think I was from that frog world?"

Anne seemed to blush a tiny bit. "Oh, well, it's just because I saw your—"

Marcy suddenly arrived and put her arm around Anne. "Hey, sorry if there's any trouble here."

"It's all good, Marcy," said Anne. "You were right, though. She's not from Amphibia." She turned back to Vee "So anyway… sorry, I probably should've asked for your name first."

"I'm Vee."

Anne nodded. "Right, so Marcy, Sasha, and I noticed your nonhuman ears, Vee."

"That's because you've been in contact with magic," said Masha. "Anyone who hasn't just dismisses her ears as hair without question."

Vee shrugged. "Yeah, it's some weird side effect of being a basilisk."

"A basilisk? They definitely don't have those in Amphibia," said Anne. "Unless the Chicka-lisk counts."

"Yeah, I may or may not be a shapeshifter from another world, but it's not Amphibia," said Vee. "You were probably looking for a way back, weren't you?"

Anne sighed. "Yeah, I was…"

"Sorry," said Vee. "The portal I used only goes from my world to Earth and back. Most of the time I'm playing baseball in Connecticut but I regularly go back to the Demon Realm visit my sister."

"You shouldn't lose hope of finding Amphibia again," said Masha. "Don't be afraid to look for occult methods to go places. You never know what you'll find."

Marcy thought about Maddie and her magic, and wondered if that sort of thing was possible on Earth. "I suppose that's worth looking into. What do you think, Anne?"

Anne smiled. "Why not? Maybe we'll find a treasure map to a portal or something."

Vee and Masha gave each other a knowing look and smirked. "You never know," said the basilisk.

Marcy suddenly grabbed Anne's hand and pointed back at their table. "Anne, our food's arriving!"

"Oh!" exclaimed Anne. "We gotta go now, but it was nice talking to you. Bye!"

Anne and Marcy waved and then ran back to Sasha, leaving Vee and Masha alone again.

"I feel bad that we couldn't really help them," said Vee. "Do you really think they'll find a way back to Amphibia?"

Masha shrugged. "I don't know, but hanging out with you all these years has taught me not to doubt what magic's capable of."

Afterlife Realm

It's been a few years since Vee Noceda died, and since then she lived in a house on the human side with her spouse and mom and the adoptive father who died before she came to the Human Realm but accepted her as one of his own. And she had plenty of visits to and from the other world's loved ones.

The combined Earth-Amphibia afterlife also had a small portal to the Demon Realm afterlife, so that the Nocedas and others wouldn't be permanently separated from loved ones who reside in different places.

By the time she died, Vee had mostly forgotten about the time she met Anne and Marcy, and thus was quite shocked to see that Amphibia and Earth were connected here. When she asked Camila about it, all her mom had said was "One day you'll meet the Guardians. They'll explain it."

It turned out that day was today. Vee was casually exiting her house and immediately felt her magical senses being inundated with sensation like never before. .

"Hey, Vee! Remember me?"

Vee looked up and saw Anne Boonchuy, appearing just as she did when they met eight decades earlier. She was clearly the source of what Vee was sensing.

"Oh my Titan, Anne Boonchuy!" exclaimed Vee. "How are you? What are you? Back on Earth your magical aura was so mild but now it's so all-encompassing!"

"I'm doing good," said Anne. "As for the second question, my wives and I became these funky Guardians of the Multiverse. We had powers like this when we were 13 but way less powerful."

"I guess that explains it," said Vee. "And now that you've got these powers you can go back and forth to Amphibia as often as you want, right?"

Anne smiled. "Yeah. I'm sure that's not what you expected back then, but I found my way back."

"I'm glad," said Vee.

"Me too," said Anne. "Oh, and me and Sasha and Marcy went to the Demon Realm about seven years back. We met this one witch who I think was your grand-niece or something."

"Oh, Edalyn? Yeah, she's nice." Vee then pointed back to her afterlife home. "Do you wanna come inside and continue this conversation there?"

"Sure!" Anne turned around and followed Vee inside.

"Masha, look who's here!" Vee called out.

A moment passed before Masha came down the stairs, pausing when she made eye contact with Anne. "I told you you'd find your way back to that amphibian world."

Anne laughed a little. "You did."

Titan Luz probably had similar power levels to the Calamity forms, but she had Titan powers for like 15 minutes while the trio had theirs for months, so that's why their internal magic auras were bigger than Luz's.

Also, "the mystery hole in West Virginia" is a real thing.
