"E azione!" said Johan as he pressed record.

Anne sat on Bessie's saddle and said, "What's up, fellow humans? Today, we're exploring how frogs get around. That's right, we're going DRIVING!" Bessie zipped off.


Johan used a selfie stick as he recorded himself, Anne, and Sprig as they rode on the old snail's back. "As you can see," he said. "They don't have planes, trains, and automobiles in this world. Just bugs." They drove past Mayor Toadstool as he rode on his snail. "And it's not just snails. Abbiamo coccinelle..." They drove past Sadie Croaker and her ladybird beetle steed. "...tarantole..." They drove past a trio of toads and their tarantula steed. "...e cavallette." They passed a newt riding a grasshopper.

"Say it in English, JoJo," said Anne before saying to the camera, "But for my money, there's no better but than ol' Bessie here." She gave the old snail a pat. "Look at the cool stuff she does! She's got a slime trails, berry slicks..."

"That's where you feed her some berries and the slime she leaves behind changes color," said Johan. "Like when you eat too much Frankenberry cereal and it turns your poop pink."

"I didn't need to hear that," said Sprig.


Johan and Sprig sat on a rock while the former recorded Anne as she sat on Bessie. "And you think snail means slow, right? Check this biz out. Bessie, things are getting messy!" The old snail zipped off as fast as a race car and then crashed into a tree.

"Anne!" Sprig and Johan hopped off the rock and ran after her. "Are you okay?"


"Anyway, that's just scratching the surface of what this beautiful girl can do," said Anne, who was covered in bandages. She held up Hop Pop's book of Bessie. "See this? This is like her owner's manual. You can't even hope Bessie to move without learning what's in here."

"Trust us, we learned that from experience," said Johan.

"You'll also notice that this thing is like, twenty times bigger than a DMV manual and JoJo and I memorized all of it."

"It took all night, but we sure did. Per noi niente caffè!"

"So maybe let's talk learner's permit when I get back, Mom and Dad."

Hop Pop's voice suddenly rang out, "Dang it, Anne! Did you drive Bessie without permission again?!"

"Yep I'm totally responsible! Now for that permit!"

"E taglia," said Johan, stopping the recording.
