"Girl time! Girl time! Girl time!" We chanted, riding Bessie down the road.
"So, what do you want to do first?" I chuckled.
Polly turned to me and grinned.
"I'm thinking, go to Stumpy's, watch a millipede race, and SEE JAX SUNFLOWER!!"
"Who's Jax?" I asked
She rolled her eyes, "the guy you were talking to yesterday."
I thought back to yesterday.
"The little kid we were talking to at the lake?" I asked.
"Nooo." She groaned, "the one you got free food from!"
The guy with the skewers?
"Why would we go see him?" I asked.
"Because, it'll be fun! Now, let Girl time commence!" She cheered.
The first place we stopped at was Stumpy's. Stumpy gave us a special thing that he was trying out, and it was delicioussssss. And I didn't even know what it was!!
And as we walked around, everyone was so surprised that I was a frog now. They didn't question it though. They just were fascinated with my new look. The mayor even gave me some coppers!
After talking with different people for about an hour, we headed to a millipede race course. And these were bigg millipedes. There were about six or so millipedes, and they were chasing after large carrots around the race track. It was like dog racing, but with giant bugs!
We stopped by a few other places after that. A few shops, bought some things, and got some gifts for Sprig and Hop Pop with the copper that the mayor gave us.
"Ah, I love girl time" I grinned, leading Bessie down the road.
"I know right?! And now, to see Jax!" She jumped.
"Alright, I guess.. Why are you so excited about him?" I asked.
"Oh, just because.." she grinned.

Hehehehe.. I'm going to invite Jax over for dinner, and then Sprig will get jealous, and it'll be a FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!! Well...maybe not that....eh, it'll be comedic.
"Alright, we're here." Anne parked Bessie, and we walked over to the skewer truck.
"Hey Jaxxx!" I smirked, jumping on the counter next to him.
"Oh, hey Pols." He chuckled.
"Two skewers please!"
He handed us two skewers, and Anne handed him some copper.
"Naw, it's on the house again, Princess." He winked.
Oh. Mah. Gosh.
*nose bleed*
"That's not a good way to run a buisness-" I quickly cut off Anne.
"Heheheee" I coughed, "Uh..so, Jax. Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?" I asked.
"Wha-?" I slapped Anne's arm with my tail to keep her quiet.
"Dinner? Sounds fun." He chuckled towards Anne.
"Great! 6pm sound good?"
"Sounds good, little lady." He have a thumbs up.
"Alright! Bye!" I waved, and jumped into Anne's arms.
We walked back to Bessie and I jumped on her.
"Why did you invite him to dinner? You didn't ask Hop Pop-"
"Eh, Hop Pop will be finneee" I chuckled.
After a long snail ride, we finally made it back home. I parked Bessie in her pasture and gave her some food, and then picked up everything and headed towards the door.
"So, Why'd you get them that junk? Are they even going to like it?" Polly asked.
"Uh, of course! I'm an expert at shopping for people!" I chuckled.
We got into the house, and saw Hop Pop and Sprig playing a board game.
"Hey boys!" Polly chuckled.
"Oh, hey Anne and Polly." Hop Pop said, rolling a di.
"I got you two presentsss" I sang.

They both stopped moving, then shot up excitedly.
"Really?!" They both asked.
I nod, and pull out some things from my bag.
"For you Hop Pop, I have a ship in a bottle of The Red Sea beetle, and some Daisy body mist and moisturizer!" I hand him the decent sized bottle, and the two containers of Daisy-smelling things.
He took them and hugged them close, beginning to tear up.
"My favorite flower, and the ship that my great great great great grandfather voyaged on...Thank you Anne!" He happily cried over my shoulder. Man..I'm short now..
I chuckle and pat his back. Once he pulled away, I reached in the other bag.
"For you, Sprig, I behold a Manbug 'action figure', and a 5 ft long stuffy of a millipede."
His eyes glowed as he took them. He hugged up against me.
"You know me so well"
I heard Polly snickering behind me, before disappearing up the stairs.
I thought back about Jax and how Polly invited him.
"Oh, Hop Pop?" I said as Sprig pulled away, "just so you're aware, Jax is coming over for dinner at 6."
Sprig looked up at me, shocked, and looking slightly annoyed.
"What?! Why did you invite him? Do you like him or something??" He asked.
I threw my hands up in defense.
"Chill, dude! I didn't invite him. Polly wanted to for some reason." I shrugged.
"Alright." Hop Pop cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention, "even if we aren't sure of this, the boy's still coming over. And since it's 5pm, I should probably start dinner now." He turned and started walking towards the kitchen. He turned around again, "and none of you go tearing each other up now!"
Once Hop Pop disappeared, Sprig hugged his millipede plush and action figure, looking less enthusiastic.
"I'm going up to my room.." he sighed, walking up the stairs.
Annnddd, I'm alone....
"Alright then..I guess I'll go help Hop Pop cook then?"
I wander into the kitchen, and talk through what me and Hop Pop were making for dinner. Something simple, yet tasty. Once we were almost done, there was a knock at the door.
"I'll go get it." I tell Hop Pop, walking towards the door. Once I get into the living room, I see Polly about to open the door. She wore clip on earrings, a long necklace that dragged on the floor, and a red bow.. ...she doesn't have ears.....or a neck.....
".............don't judge me!" She chuckled, and opened the door.
