The family were all in a dark shaded alley next to a shifty looking wagon with fruits stockpiled high in it.
Hop Pop: Now kids, just 'cause we lost the family stand doesn't mean we can't sell our produce out of a janky wheelbarrow.
Anne: This... This is pretty sad.
Polly: Agreed.
Sprig: Ah, criminal activity. Excitement!
Sprig puts on a ski mask like a real criminal.
Y/N: Ahhh, this takes me back to my robbery days.
Hop Pop: Take that off! This is perfectly legal!
Hop Pop snatches away the mask and rips it in two.
Anne: Then why are we hiding in an alley?
Hop Pop: Um, stop asking questions and follow my lead.
He shiftily left the alley, looking around cautiously and tapped an old lady frog on the shoulder.
Hop Pop: Psst, lady. Wanna buy an eggplant? Huh?
Y/N: Is that how he gets girls in his bed?
The old frog turned around and Hop Pop and the old frog gasped in disbelief.
Sylvia: Hoppy!
Hop Pop: Wha-- Sylvia!
Anne: Hoppy?
Sylvia: Come here, you sweet potato.
Sylvia embraces Hop Pop in a tight hug.
Hop Pop: Uh... I thought you had moved away.
Sylvia: Yep, but I'm back in town. Now, let's take a look at your veggies.
Hop Pop was sweating and his skin was a deep shade of red as Sylvia picked out a gourd that resembled his head.
Sylvia: Oh, I'll take this one. I've always had a soft spot for the weird ones.
Hop Pop stammers his words as Sylvia goes into her purse and gives Hop Pop a copper coin.
Sylvia: Well, I better be going. Goodbye, Hoppy.
Hop Pop: Goodbye, Sylvia.
As Hop Pop saw her leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and his stammering and blushing stopped. His heart was still beating heavily.
Anne: Hop Pop, you dog!
Y/N: You old scallywag you.
Hop Pop: Huh?
Sprig: What's happening?
Polly: What's going on?
Anne: Hop Pop is clearly in love.
Y/N: Hop Pop and Sylvia sitting in a tree.
F-U-C-K-I-N-GSprig: Whaaaat?
Polly: I didn't think that was possible. Old people can't do ... that.
Y/N: Trust me sphere, everything is possible.
Hop Pop: Am not! Okay, maybe a little.
Anne: Ohh! You should tell her how you feel.
Hop Pop: I wish I could. But you saw how I was back there. I have trouble even putting sentences together. I wish there was another way to let Sylvia know how I feel. Hmm. Kids, watch the wheelbarrow for a second.
Hop Pop leaves the alley and goes into the town centre to see a poster being put up on the billboard. Just them, another old frog approaches him, seemingly mocking his interest.
