Couple Friendship: Froggy and Big
Summary: I want a cute bro-moment with Froggy and Big! PLEASE?!
Prompt:
Big laid back on a long piece of lumber, lying on its side as it seemed to have fallen with a huge storm that had rolled over this pleasant plain.
Having noticed Froggy's restlessness to hop around, Big thought it best to go on a nice, lazy, and relaxing vacation for a while.
Leaving their home in the jungles near Angel Island, they left for a serene hideaway, and while Big had his fish in the coasting river ahead of him, Froggy jumped from stone to stone, letting the water splash on him as he seemed to just want to keep moving around.
Big's ears moved up and down with each snored bubble of his nose, like a typical anime, before hearing a huge splash and a frantic croak.
His nose-bubble popped and his eyes shot wide open, blinking a few times as his ears had shot straight up.
"Froggy?"
Big got up, taking his fishing pole in his hands before seeing the frantic frog's upper body out of the water, but the stream moving so rapidly that he couldn't fight against it.
"Ah.. Froggy.. hang on there, little buddy..!" In his typical slow and deeply calm voice, he marched with thumping footfalls as fast as his little legs could take him down the land near the stream, following Froggy, and looking back in wide-eyed worry every now and then to the side of him to see his little comrade struggle to hop out of the water, but not having any footing for his lengthy legs.
"Just keep treading that water, friend… huh?"
Big's entire expression changed as he noticed the suddenly fast water was heading like a riptide for rapids!
"Froggy! LoooOOOOooooOOOOk OOOooooOOOOooout!"
Froggy turned and rushed in panic even more so, splashing the water higher up as he ducked under some rock formations above him, but with all his amazing swimming skills, he was still dragged underwater by the amazing force under the current above.
Big stopped running a moment to gaze below, his head swinging left and right.
"Froggy?! FrooOOOooOOOoogggy…" his ears drooped back, before seeing a faint green in the water's effects, and saw his poor friend swimming desperately against the stream.
"Ah! … I know what to do…" he took on a serious expression at the hopelessness of his friend.
Straightening his belt, he plopped down and cast out his line.
The bait flew straight into the whirling of the tides beneath, as Big expertly, but also with little show of any exertion, got the bait right up next to Froggy's mouth.
"Okay, Froggy. Come tah your old pal…" He blinked as the water's intensity left him little room to see, but Froggy didn't seem to bite the bait.
The bait wiggled right at his nose, and still he wouldn't take it.
"Froggy.. You're going tah drown..!" Big stated depressively, trying to convince his poor friend of the dire need to hang on and get out!
Suddenly, Froggy closed his eyes, treaded faster, and opened his eyes and his mouth to receive the bait.
"Froggy!" Big happily jumped up, waiting to reel his friend in, but the current got the better of the little guy and sucked him further down the stream!
"Oh no..!" Big reeled back the line to see it was a miss, and hurried down the stream.
"If I'm not fast enough… Poor Froggy will lose all his little oxygen bubbles..!" he said this with a fierce look of loyalty in his eyes, as Froggy's counter started to tick in his head.
"I'm coming-!"
Big reeled his fishing pole back, and lassoed a huge trees limb, seeing as it hung over a gapping sharp and deep waterfall!
"FROGGGGGGYYYY!"
Big leaped and swung, like a large wrecking ball, over the cliff that lead to the open sea and way passed their beautiful vacation plain to a now dense rainforest.
Froggy was caught in his arms, not wasting time with trying to reel him in again, and bounced to a profound landing on the other side.
…. That is… if the line held correctly…
The fishing line snapped right when Big got his footing on the other side of the cliff, and slowly began to wobble as he lost balance, stepping back.
"Fr-Fro-Froooggyyy!" Big's huge weight got the better of him before his footing did, as the cliff broke under his pressure, and the two started to fall again.
Tears streamed their eyes, as their lives flashed before them.
Before another shout of help could be had, Froggy, safely tucked in one of Big's arms, bit Big's fishing pole and swung it around.
"Ah,.. Froggy..!" Big blinked his eyes, before looking up and noticing the line could still be lassoed around some of the rainforests trees overlaying with drapes of vines and shadowed canopies over the fall.
"Wow, Froggy… I didn't know you could do that." Big swung as Froggy looked dead-certain he wasn't going to let them die like this.
The fishing pole hooked itself between another tree limb, but it was the actual pole that saved them, as Big had to split his legs and put the pole down as he spread out to catch himself between two large limbs.
The line held them alright, but the two sweated in fear…
One wrong miscalculation of balance… and it was back to the impending doom below.
"Fr…" Big was tearing up, before looking back to his friend in his other arm. "If… If this is it, Froggy…" The pole was holding up well, but shaking under the tension, as Froggy also had tears in his eyes towards his friend.
"Then,… I was glad that I had one last fishing trip with you… some adventure, huh, little guy?" He smiled, closing his eyes as the tears splashed out.
Froggy's little heart couldn't take the compassion from his ginormous friend's huge love for him, and quickly blinked his eyes to a powerful glare, the tears in his eyes also splashing out and dropping down the huge fall below.
"Hmm..?" Big looked up, "Froggy? What's wrong..?"
It should have been obvious, but his friend was a little slow sometimes.
Froggy wiggled his way out of his friends arm to hop up on top of his head.
"Oh! Be.. Be careful, Froggy…" Big looked up to watch his friend jump up the trees, before croaking loudly, sending an echo through the rainforest.
Then, a billion, no… a trillion froggies emerged!
Each with it's own color and design, leaped to the sides of the land on either end, jumping and scaling the trees, before gathering around Big in their slimy goodness!
Big blinked his eyes, becoming a massive ball as his eyes and body shape were soon lost in the giant ball.
"M.. More froggies?" Big stated in surprise.
The Froggies all formed tightly next to eachother, creating a beautifully massive ball.
Froggy then leaped down to a top branch, and called out to them, acting as their leader.
They all looked up to him, as he ordered the decent, lifting a froggy arm up, and then thrusting it down.
The frogs croaked and nodded, before leaping all in unison, and crashing down the limbs, one bounce at a time, taking the damage in place of Big, and finally dispersed on the ground floor, each being relatively alright.
Big was sitting on his bum, before blinking his eyes open and looking around. "H-huh?"
Froggy jumped down to his side, croaking a hello.
"I'm alive… and Froggy… Oh, Froggy!"
Big clasped his arms around Froggy, as Froggy happily choked and sweatdropped a little at the immense affection, before wiggling out of his grasp and sitting on his head, perfectly content.
"Oh, Froggy. I'm glad you're safe." Big stated, looking up with his eyes and slightly tilting his head to get a good view of Froggy, but not wanting him to fall off.
He croaked.
"Right, let's get you home. Hmmm…"
Big got up at his leisure, as if nothing had happened, and began walking through the rainforest, holding his bent and broken fishing line on his shoulder behind him.
"I bet you're awfully tried from treading all that water… aren't ya, buddy? I would like to fish some more, but I wouldn't want you being all lonesome at home, so I'll sleep with you tah keep ya company..!"
The duo left peacefully from the rainforest, as little froggies croaked and leaped all over their trail, and at last, one leapt into the screen to fade out the touching, and adventurous, moment.
