Season 1 Episode 2: Bestest Fronds.

[Open on a thrift store on Earth as a car passes by. Cut to inside.]

Old Man: [picks up shirt] Ah, this is a good shirt.

Anne: All right, Anne. You can do this.

Saleswoman: [snoring]

[She takes a music box with three colored gems, puts it in her bag, and one of her friends gives a thumbs up from outside as she leaves.]

[Muzic playing on speakers]

[At night it goes into the moon, and goes down to Anne and her friends. Suddenly, it goes into the first 2 seconds of the intro. Marcy wakes up on the same room from the ending of the previous segment]

Marcy: [screams, gasps] Guys, guys, guys. I just had the craziest dream of my life. I was trapped in a world where its like an RPG world but with frog p-- [turns to find the Plantars looking at her] Oh.

Hop Pop: [croaks]

Marcy: [hugs her legs] Right. It wasnt a dream.

Sprig: Hey, Marcy. Sleep good?

Hop Pop: Careful, boy! It could be hungry.

Polly: For your guts!

Marcy: Woah, relax a bit heh. I am not gonna eat something that...uhh how do i say this, well doesn't bathe. Im sorry if i hurted you fealings.

[Flies buzz around Hop Pop, shown close-up to be incredibly dirty. He eats a fly.]

Hop Pop: Fair point.

Sprig: See? Told you it was harmless.

Hop Pop: Hmph. For now.

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

Marcy: I think the little one wants to kill me.

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

Marcy: [Laughs] It's very great. I miss my home and my stuff and especially... my friends. Without them, I just feel kind of lost. You know? But maybe they are here as well.

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

Marcy: You? REALLY??!!(Gets excited.)

Sprig: Me!

Marcy: YOU!!.:)

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

Marcy: Everything. Marathon TV shows expecially my friends Anne's favorite's, drink boba till we vomited, hung out at the beach.

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

Marcy: Hmm.*in mind: Im nit even homesick i dont wanna go back there.* [Looks at her photo, then Sprig]

Sprig: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [Marcy looks at the photo again] Is gon' be great.

Marcy: [smiles.] I like your moxie, frog child. Let's do it!

[In one quick montage, Marcy gets ready and emerges from the bathroom wearing swimming attire.]

Sprig: You ready to go?

Marcy: Yeah-ah!

Together: Hey, hey, hey!

Hop Pop: And where do you two think you're going?

Sprig: We're going to the lake. Ooh. Ow.

Marcy: Why? You want to join in? You wanna come with us? It would be more fun to go with a family.

Hop Pop: Absolutely not! Look, Marcy. You're a new, unsettling, strange, bizarre, gangly, horrifying--

Marcy: Thank you. But I got it.

Hop Pop: Point is, the frogs in this town can be pretty small-minded.

Frog: Oh, hey, Hopediah.

Hop Pop: And paranoid. We just need to give 'em time to get used to ya. I think it's best you stay put.

Marcy: But--

Hop Pop: No buts. Now I'm gonna go into my study to get a little reading done.

Sprig: Uh, Hop Pop.

Hop Pop: Don't do anything stupid!

Marcy: oh! Adults are all the same somezimes. Curfews. Rules. Paranoid.

Sprig: Yeah, looks like we're stuck here. Ooh! I know what'll be fun. Let's try some of Hop Pop'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.

Marcy: No, thanks. I'd rather go to my room, or the LAKE.

Sprig: Ahh-- What? But Hop Pop said, uh--

Marcy: Sprig, you wanna know the best thing about friendship? When you got your friends by your side, anything is possible and nothing is Impossible. Whatever you want, a real friend will help you get it covered like my friend Sasha. And you know what I want?

Sprig: The lake!

Marcy: Yup. Now let's go rob a key from and old man.

Sprig: Ew.

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

Marcy: Any ideas?

Sprig: Ooh! What if we use fishing line to lower me from the ceiling? Then I grab the key right out of Hop Pop's pocket. I'll move like a shadow.

Marcy: [gasps]

Sprig: Shadows knock things over sometimes.

Marcy: Do you hear that?

Hop Pop: [snoring]

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

Sprig: Happens all the time. He makes a great scarecrow.

Marcy: [sniffs] Know what this smells like?

Sprig: [inhales, blubbering as he licks the key] A key that's been in an old man's pocket?

Marcy: F.r.e.e.d.o.m.! FREEDOM!!.

Sprig: That was my next guess!

Marcy: [sighs] This is great. Two buddies beating the odds to have some fun. Here. Smile! Whoa. That turned out great.

Sprig: 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!

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

Sprig: Uh...

[giggles]

Little frog: Your turn.

Sprig: Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! Check this out! Aaah!

[both screaming]

Sprig: Aaah! Help! It's eating me alive!

[screaming]

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

[screaming]

Sprig: Kids around here don't really get me.

Marcy: Well, hey, they are missing out on tons of fu stuff. Come on.

Sprig: So, is punching part of friendship?

Marcy: Absolutely.

Sprig: We made it.

Marcy: Whoa. It's beautiful. You ready? Yeah! Whoa-ho!

Sprig: Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Marcy: Oh.

Sprig: Oh. This was not here last week.

Marcy: Huh. Hmm. I know exactly what's going on here. Someone either just wants this beautiful lake all to themselves or this person was REALLY afraid of something. Well, forget that. i think its the second one but what do you think Sprig.

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

Marcy: maybe or they just had bad handwriting. Come on. Don't be a little buzzkill please. Ooh, that's nice. Hey, what are you doing?

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

Marcy: H-Hey I thought you were trying to be my friend.

Sprig: I am.

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

Sprig: Huh?

Marcy: Look, if a friend likes a movie, you get it for them and watch it with them. If your friend likes your new video games, you give them to them. And if you want to run away from home and lie to your friend in order to get them to steal a music box from a thrift store, even if you don't really want to get them in trouble, you do it, okay? Because if you don't, they might not want to be your friend anymore.

Sprig: Fine.

Marcy: Fine.

Sprig: [panting] Whoo-hoo!

Marcy: Yeah! That's what I'm talkin about! Cannonball!

[both laughing]

[water skipper whinnying]

Marcy: Whoo-hoo!

Sprig: Yeah!

[Laughing.]

Marcy: Uh...

Sprig: I was blinking, wasn't I?

[screaming]

[roaring]

Marcy: Stupid non-webbed clumsy human hands.

Sprig: Marcy! [grunts] Ah. That explains the sign.

Marcy: Sprig, I'm just slowing you down, buddy. Get out of here. This was my fault anyway. I should have listened to you before all of this. But if i get wrapped up in something i always get distracted by it. Im Sorry.

Sprig: Friend punch!

Marcy: Ow! What?

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

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

Sprig: I have a plan. Stand up!

Marcy: Uh, okay. Why again?

Sprig: When I count to three, duck.

Marcy: What? Are you crazy?

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

Marcy: Sprig! Vengeance! Take this and this! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa! [Show'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 Sprig out.]

Marcy: You're alive buddy. What did you do?

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

Marcy: You cool little genius, you.

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

[both laughing]

[roaring]

Marcy: Run!

Sprig: Death approaches!

Hop Pop: [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 Marcy eaten the kids, THE WHOLE TOWN? [panting] What's this now? It's still locked.

[dice rattling]

Marcy: Come on, come on. I need a 20 and im gonna win.

Hop Pop: You guys been here all day, huh?

Marcy: Yeah, I'm on a winning streak.

Sprig: I owe her my first-born child.

Marcy: Oh, by the way, Hop Pop. We found this on the floor. You must have dropped it ore something. [Does the Marcy face.]

Hop Pop: Dang shallow pockets. Well, you get what you pay for.

Polly: Aha!

Marcy: Hi, Polly [waves to her.]

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

[sighs dramatically]

Marcy: Hey, im sorry I almost got us killed today.

Sprig: 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]

Marcy: Anne, Sasha I hope you guys are okay, because I know i am.

[Meanwhile...]

Captain Grime: Take a look at this please, Anne. It was found far from here, in the South Forest. Now we know that you've been lying to us. (shows an imprisoned Anne) Now we know that there are more of you.

[thunderclap]
