Another Friend in Amphibia

Chapter 49: A Robot in Wartwood

Hop Pop and Marcy were riding on Bessie who was pulling a wooden wagon containing four kids. Anne, Sprig, Polly and Drake.

"This is so great! Our first day in forever with no responsibilities!" Polly exclaimed. She jumped out of her bucket and went to Hop Pop. "So, what are we gonna do?"

"Ha! You'll see." Hop Pop replied. The snail stopped in front of a seed store. Judging by the sign and the items on display, it only sells seeds.

Polly groaned. "Ugh! No!"

"Yep!"

"Oh, come on. Don't worry, Marcy. We don't have to go into the boring-"

"This is so cool! A store just for seeds? Why, we could be there for hours." Marcy said, tingling with anticipation.

"Don't tempt me." Hop Pop leaned over. They both started to laugh.

Marcy wiped a tear from her eye. "The humble seed. So much potential for growth."

Hop Pop had wide eyes simply thinking about what they would see inside the seed store. "One of the rare things in life where you get out what you put in. It's beautiful."

Hop Pop and Marcy marched towards the seed store, eager to browse. "Have fun in there!" Anne called out.

"Yeah, we're good in the wagon." Sprig said as he played on Anne's phone.

"Well actually, I'm going to go visit that tea shop I've always wanted to see." Drake said.

"Have fun Drake. As for you two, look after Polly while we're gone." Hop Pop said looking back at Anne and Sprig.

Drake got out of the wagon and started walking away from the group. He looked around until he found what he was looking for. A large building in the shape of a tea pot with a sign hanging from it labeled. Felicia's Tea Shoppe

Drake went in through the front door. He looked around, there were round tables all over the place with only a few patrons left. Judging by the state of the shop, Drake had just missed the morning rush. A yellow frog wearing a knee length dress approached. She seemed to be the only employee in the shop. "Hello, and welcome to my tea shop." she said.

"Huh, always wondered what it was like in here. Table for one please." Drake replied.

"Of course, right this way." Felicia led Drake to one of the many empty tables. She handed him a menu. "So, you're one of Anne's friends if I recall correctly."

"Yeah, I'm also that guy who started a riot. Sorry about peeking into your window by the way." Drake looked down at the available options. The menu was much more expansive than he had anticipated.

"We all have our off days. I'm rather surprised you're here by yourself. Where have you been these past few days anyway? Some of us were wondering why you didn't come back to Wartwood with the Plantars." Felicia asked.

Drake perked up. "I wanted to stay in Newtopia for a little longer."

"Well, the important thing is, you're here now." Felicia said.

Drake pointed at one of the tea options. "I'd like a number one."

"Of course, right away." Felicia walked away with the menu.

Another frog approached, a much younger version of Felicia. "Oh hey, you're Sprig's girlfriend, right? Ivy?" Drake asked when he noticed her.

Ivy looked at him. She held out her hand to shake. "Yep, that's me. Nice to officially meet." when Drake grabbed her hand, she quickly pulled his hand towards her. "You wanna help me ambush Sprig later today?"
