We walked on the dock because Hop Pop was gonna take us fishing. "Ah, the annual Plantar Fishing Trip, I can't wait to cast off." "Neither can I." I replied. "Me either, my froggy friend, but I'm not fishing." Anne added. "I'm parasailing, baby!" "Wow, flying?" Polly asked. "What a great way to spy on my enemies." "What do you say, Sprig?" Anne asked. "Why fish when you can fly?" "Tempting, but nope, I'd rather fish." Sprig declined. "It's what Hop Pop and I have done ever since I was a pollywog, we look forward to this all year, it's our special time, and that's never gonna change." At that moment, Sylvia, Hop Pop's special lady, greeted us. "I'm so glad that I get to join you on this boat trip." She said. "Hey, Sylvia." I greeted. "You're coming too?" Polly asked. "Cool." "Oh, hey, Sylvia." Sprig said. "Have you seen Hop Pop?" "Morning, kids." Hop Pop replied. "Ready for the brisk open waters?" "Dang, HP, looking good." Anne compliments. "Isn't he dreamy?" Sylvia asked. "Now, c'mon, my dear, I'll show you around the boat." Hop Pop giggles as he helped her get on board. "What the heck?" Sprig wondered. "He can't fish in that ridiculous outfit." "Looks like Hop Pop is fishing for something else." I said. "Ew, gross, Rowena." Polly groaned. "This doesn't change a thing, he and I are still gonna spend the day together and have our special time." Sprig explains.

We boarded the boat and we set sail. Hop Pop was flirting with Sylvia for a while and Sprig was struggling with the bait. I saw him and I helped him out. Anne, on the other hand, was explaining parasailing to Polly. She hopped over to me and Sprig, who was being attacked by the bait. "Don't you and Hop Pop usually do that together?" Polly asked. "He said to start without him." Sprig replied. "Ouch." I said. "Look, this doesn't change anything, Hop Pop and I are still gonna..." Sprig sees Sylvia fishing with Hop Pop. "Wait, they're fishing together?" Their flirting continued. "I can't believe this, he's ditching me?" Suddenly, Anne came crashing down and was surprisingly fine. "I think I'm really getting the hang of this." Anne said. I giggled. "Anne you're not gonna believe this, Hop Pop is..." Sprig explains. "I know, dude." Anne sighed. "I saw the whole thing from up top, but there's nothing you can do." "Yeah, Sprig, it's not like you can make Sylvia go away." I added. At the same time, Anne flew away with the parasail. Sprig grunted as Hop Pop and Sylvia walked in front of us. "Hey I know that look!" Polly shouts. "You're going to sabotage this fishing trip so that Sylvia leaves, aren't you?" "No!" Sprig retorted. "Do I look like some petty child to you?" "Yes." I replied.

Sprig decided to sabotage Sylvia by pulling a bunch of pranks on her, but every time she fell for it, Hop Pop fell for her even more. Sprig was singing a song he made up about being a third wheel. I walked over to him and sat with him. Anne fell from the sky again. "Hey, guys." Sprig sighed. "You almost had that one, Anne!" Polly exclaimed. "Really?" Anne asked. "No." Polly replied. "Gonna get back out there." Anne sighed as she left. Sprig was still upset. "Dude, you have to shake off this whole Hop Pop thing and just have fun." I said. "Why don't I go fishing with you instead?" "Sprig, Rowena is right, maybe it's time you just let this one go." Polly suggested. "And give up my special time with Hop Pop?" Sprig asked. "Why not, crazier things have happened." Polly replied as she pointed out Anne parasailing into many bugs. I blushed with a giggle. All of a sudden, Sylvia walked over to us. "Sprig, can we talk?" Sylvia asked. Sprig jumped. "Sylvia, great to see you." He stuttered. "Why, of course we can talk, I love to talk, let's talk." Sylvia grabs Sprig as Polly and I watched Anne fail at parasailing again.

Not much later, we heard Sylvia screaming, but she wasn't on the boat. "We heard Sylvia scream, is everything okay?" Anne asked. "She's back there." Sprig replied, but none of us could see her. "Where?" I asked. "I can't see her." "If only we had a bird's eye view!" Hop Pop exclaimed. Bird's eye view? Anne. "Step aside." Sprig ordered as he got the glider Anne was using. "Sprig, it's not as easy as it looks." Anne explains. At this moment, Sprig was parasailing, the correct way. "How is he doing that?" Anne asked. Sprig found Sylvia on a crab monster. "I see her, over there!" Sprig exclaimed. Hop Pop turned the boat around and the crab destroyed part of the boat. "This crab is making me very scared!" I shouted. "But also very hungry." Sprig fought off the monster and grabbed Sylvia. "Oh, Sylvia, you're safe!" Hop Pop exclaimed as he hugged her. "Sure am, and that's not all, got your favorite flowers." Sylvia replied, showing the flowers to him. "Um, my favorite flowers are daffodils." Hop Pop corrected. Sylvia glared at Sprig. "Sylvia, I have a confession to make, the reason you were on that island and almost became a crab snack is because I'm a selfish, petty child who wanted his Hop Pop all to himself." Sprig confessed. Now he admits it. "You're a cool lady, and Hop Pop is lucky to have you, we all are." "Well, thank you, Sprig." Sylvia replied. "I know sharing a man like Hoppy is difficult, after all, he's such a catch, now what do you say we cut the chatter and get fishing, together." We cheered. Polly grabbed the glider and began parasailing. "So, does anyone wanna go back for that crab though, that thing probably has a ton of meat, right?" I asked. No one responded. "Anyone, don't leave me hanging here, people."
