Hop Pop: [inhales] Ah, how I miss the swamp air. The aroma of grass, a whisper of manure, and just a pinch of humidity. Do you feel that humidity, Anne?
[Anne's hair is shown to be very frazzled from the humidity.]
Anne: A pinch.
Polly: [gasps, pops out of Anne's hair] I see it! I see it! I can see Wartwood!
Sprig: [gasps] Whoa.
Sprig: ♪ Wartwood, O mighty Wartwood ♪
♪ I sing to thee
Our noble history ♪
♪ A newt told a toad... ♪
Mrs. Croaker: Hey, I know that irritating voice.
Sprig: ♪ But don't let them escape poverty ♪
Mrs. Croaker: The Plantars are back! Get out here, everyone! It's the Plantars!
- Ooh! - Oh, hi!
Hop Pop: Heya, folks!
Sylvia: Hoppy!
Hop Pop: Sylvia!
Sylvia: Come here, city boy!
Loggle: Any luck finding a way back to your world, Anne?
Anne: Not yet. But we're "whittling away at it".
Loggle: [chuckles] That wood reference was for me.
Wally: Well, if it isn't the Plantars! Buba-dee buba-dee bup. Haven't seen you lot for a long time. Uh, definitely didn't see you on your trip.
Polly: Whatever you say, "Walliam."
Wally: [clears throat]
Sprig: Uh, hey, Felicia. Where's Ivy?
Felicia: Oh, she said she had something more important to do.
Sprig: More important?
Felicia: Something about an...
Ivy: Ambush!
[Ivy tackles Sprig]
Sprig: Uh... hi?
Ivy: Hey, you.
[all] Aww!
Town Frog 1: Isn't it cute?
Toadie: Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Mayor Toadstool: Just simmer down now! Come on, simmer down. Market stops for no one. Y'all can welcome back the Plantars after business hours.
Stumpy: Oh! How about we all meet at my restaurant tonight? Have a town dinner for the Plantars.
Hop Pop: We're in. I can't wait for some authentic swamp cooking!
Stumpy: And I can't wait for that Newtopian coral hand fitment. Thanks for pickin' it up for me.
Mrs. Croaker: Say, if we're all gonna be together anyway, why not bring all the gifts from our wish list?
[excited chattering]
Sprig: Gifts?
Anne: Wish list?
Hop Pop: Great idea, Mrs. Croaker.
Polly: [loud yawn] Can we go home, Hop Papa? I'm so "sweeeepy."
Hop Pop: Of course, my sweet baby child. Okay, here we go! Come on, kids!
Town Frog 2: Okay, bye.
[grunting]
Anne: Do you want this one?
Sprig: No, no, all yours.
[tapping]
Anne: What the heck is going on?
Hop Pop: Aha! Found it.
Polly: So, uh, remember when Hop Pop and I went to pick up the Fwagon?
Polly (narrating): Well, on our way back, Mrs. Croaker asked if we could pick her up a new romance novel while we were in the city.
Hop Pop (narrating): Before we knew it, everybody was asking for stuff. So we made a wish list. We hid the list in a special place so we wouldn't forget. And then we forgot it.
Anne: What?
Polly: I'm so sorry, you guys. Please don't get mad.
Anne: (to Polly) Oh, no, no, no. It's okay, Polly. You're just a baby. (to Hop Pop) But you! I cannot believe you forgot about something so important, Hop Pop!
Hop Pop: Look, I'm sure we can find a way to bury this so no one finds out.
Anne: Nope. Lying will only make it worse. I feel like we've learned that lesson by now.
Sprig: Well, one thing's for sure. We have to lie.
Anne: Preach! Wait, what?
Sprig: Ivy asked for a red sunshell from the Newtopian coast. To match my blue moonshell.
Anne: Oh!
Sprig: She can't find out, Anne. What if she gets mad? What if she thinks I don't like her? The relationship will be over before it starts!
Anne: [grunts] Fine! I'll do it for Sprivy. No way I'm letting that ship sink.
Hop Pop: Great. Now, let's put our heads together and come up with a plan.
Anne: Oh, yeah, and we'd better hurry, or you might forget.
Hop Pop: It was one time, Anne!
(Cut to the Plantar farm, which has a lot of tulips outside. Hop Pop then pushes Chuck out the door.)
Hop Pop: Bye, Chuck. Thanks for watching the house, Chuck.
Chuck: I grew tulips.
Hop Pop: Okay, so we agree on the concept. Fake empty gift boxes that get tragically destroyed by some kind of monster.
Anne: But what monster? Nothing too dangerous. We don't want anyone to actually get hurt.
Sprig: How about this? The Chicka-lisk. A beast that eats gold and treasure, doesn't eat Amphibians, won't attack unless threatened, and can be called to any area with a ritual.
Hop Pop: Where'd you get that book? This cover made out of skin?
Sprig: Maddie gave it to me.
Polly: Aw, that's nice.
Hop Pop: I gotta say, this Chicka-lisk is pretty perfect. Gifts get eaten, no one gets hurt, and we don't get blamed. We all okay with using ancient Eldritch magics?
Anne: Sure. Why not?
Sprig: Gotta do what we gotta do.
Polly: I'd be mad if we didn't!
Hop Pop: Great! Now to collect all the materials we need for the ritual.
(A montage begins with the Plantars gathering the materials.)
Hop Pop: [narrating] First, we need the horn of a sky goat, whose arcane note pierces the air.
[goat bleats]
Sprig: Then we need cursed obsidian to amplify the dark energy.
Anne: Finally, we need candles for that evil ritual vibe.
Polly: Wait, that's not in the book.
Anne: Trust me, it's a thing. Oooh! They have "campfire!"
[screaming]
Hop Pop: Play the forbidden note.
[inhales deeply]
[horn blares]
Hop Pop: Corrupt its sacred message.
Hop Pop: All righty then! Now, who wants Stumpy's?
All (except Hop Pop): Whoo!
[upbeat music playing]
Town Frogs: Wow. Presents.
Chuck: I like tulips.
Mrs. Croaker: You don't say?
Stumpy: Can we open the gifts soon? I'm itching for that hand. Not literally. No feelin' in it.
Hop Pop: [chuckles] Presents seem like an "end of the night" thing. Why rush it?
Sprig: And I barely got out of the ant queen's stomach alive! I'm still coughing up acid. [laughs] Blegh!
Ivy: Uh, I'm so jealous! Well, at least when I look at my sunshell, it'll be like a piece of me was there with you.
Sprig: But, uh, end of the day, it's just a shell, right?
Ivy: It's our shell. I'm really happy you found me one.
[clears throat]
[creature shrieking]
Sprig: Oh, thank frog. Finally.
Loggle: Hmm?
[chorus] ♪ Chicka-lisk, Chicka-lisk ♪
♪ Watch out for Chicka-lisk ♪
♪ Chicka-lisk, Chicka-lisk ♪
[shrieking]
♪ Watch out for Chicka-lisk ♪
Stumpy: What is that thing?
Maddie: Chicka-lisk, the Storm Bearer. It's an honor to see him. You know, before he kills us.
Plantars: Oh, no! Who could have predicted this?
Anne: Don't overdo it.
(The Chicka-lisk squawks, then notices the presents.)
Chicka-lisk (subtitled while shrieking): Presents?! I love presents!! Thanks, you guys!!
Anne: What the heck is it saying?!
Maddie: No idea. Its language is older than written history.
Polly: [stiltedly] Oh, no! It is eating the presents.
Hop Pop: We should probably leave it alone till it's finished.
Ivy: No way! You guys did something nice for us. Are we gonna let some chicken get away with this? Would the Plantars?
All: No!
Ivy: Well, then, come on! Let's save those presents! For the Plantars!
All: For the Plantars!
Sprig: Wait, no, Ivy!
Hop Pop: Uh-oh.
Anne: I can't believe it's finally my turn to say this, but... told you so! Boom!
Ivy: Eat this, you chump!
Chicka-lisk (subtitled while shrieking): The heck?!
[grunts]
Loggle: I'm Loggle.
Chicka-lisk (subtitled while crowing): Welp. Consider me provoked.
[screams]
Ivy: Sprig!
Anne: Let's spatchcock this chicken!
Stumpy: Aye, aye!
Anne: Wait, guys, we gotta work together! Who knows what this thing can do?
[screaming]
Anne: Holy moly!
Maddie: Cool!
Sprig: Maddie! Can you cure them?
Maddie: Uh, yeah, sure. I should have enough antidote for everyone... probably.
Sprig: Good enough!
Hop Pop: For Wartwood!
Sprig, Polly: For Wartwood!
Town Frog 3: You have beautiful eyes.
Anne: Split up! We gotta surround it!
All: Right!
Mayor Toadstool: Okay!
Town Frog 4: Oh, my go... Oh, wait.
Wally: Aim for the eyes, children!
[screaming]
Hop Pop: Yee-hah!
Anne: Nice! Using Toadie's stone body as a shield.
Mayor Toadstool: Wait, he's stone?
Mrs. Croaker: Upsy-daisy, Archie.
[grunting]
[shrieking]
Anne: This thing's unbeatable!
Mayor Toadstool: Nothing's unbeatable! Everyone, Chicka-lisk formation!
Toadie: We have a formation for this?
Mayor Toadstool: We have a formation for everything!
[all grunting and into their formation]
Mayor Toadstool: Come on, Anne!
(Anne joins with the Chicka-lisk formation up top as the Chicka-lisk looks at them left and right with the eyes.)
Chicka-lisk (subtitled while crowing): Okay that's just offensive, you guys. Chicka-lisk, out!
♪ Chicka-lisk ♪
(The Chicka-lisk then disappears.)
[cheering]
Hop Pop: We did it!
Anne: Finger lickin' gone!
Mrs. Croaker: But it destroyed all the gifts you worked so hard to bring back for us!
Ivy: If only we had fought harder. I guess we let you guys down.
[crowd murmuring]
Town Frog 5: It's a shame.
Polly: Me and Hop Pop forgot the wish list and didn't get you guys anything!
All: What?
Town Frog 6: Can you believe it?
Town Frog 7: The nerve of it all.
Mayor Toadstool: Why am I not surprised? Typical Plantars. Giant monsters, property damage, putting the entire town in danger.
[Anne and the Plantars look down in shame.]
Mayor Toadstool: [chuckles] I gotta admit, I missed it!
Town Frog 8: Hear! Hear!
Town Frog 9: Me too.
All: Huh?
Mrs. Croaker: Things have been really boring without you four causing mayhem and learning emotional lessons.
Hop Pop: Wait, so you don't care that we lied and summoned an elder god to cover it up?
Loggle: Not especially.
Stumpy: We're just glad you're back.
Sprig: Ivy, I'm sorry I didn't get you a red sunshell. [Ivy friendly punches Sprig] Ow!
Ivy: You big dummy! It's just a shell. You can make it up to me by finally taking me on a date.
(Ivy kisses Sprig on the cheek as Sprig gets a happy reaction.)
Anne: [squealing]
(Polly then grabs Anne.)
Polly: Okay, we're done here.
(Sprig while being still and happy faints while Maddie throws the potion on him thinking he's a statue.)
