Whoo! Look out, Amphibia. It's Marcy's first day in Wartwood!
First day in Wartwood! First day in Wartwood! First day in Wartwood!
Five more minutes.
First day, first day, first day!
It's so cute!
It's got a folksy, country vibe.
Colorful characters.
Gosh, Anne was right. It's the perfect little farm town.
And now to introduce myself.
Ooh, those look fresh.
- Hi, my name's Marcy. What's your name? - Oh, great.
Just what we need, an outsider.
Hello.
Hmm. Hi there. My name's Marcy.
Do you have any time now to talk about Wartwood's unique architectural history?
- Uh… - Are you a weirdo?
Oh, my gosh. Are you a vagrant?
Is that an accordion? Is that eye really gone?
Too many questions.
Hey, Mar-Mar. How's your first day in Wartwood going?
Oh, great.
Did you know this entire town is built on top of a swamp but never sinks?
That's because the designers knew exactly how heavy to make everything.
A cool fact. What else you learn?
I also learned small communities like this don't take kindly to strangers,
which means I don't have a chance.
Don't be ridiculous. Of course they'll accept you.
You sure about that?
Guys, come on! She's with me.
All right, if you say so.
- Wait, is that Polly? - I go where the mob goes, Anne!
They'll warm up to you. It just takes time.
Time or maybe a strategy.
Gonna say time still.
Come on, Anne. People are just another puzzle to solve.
Operation Connect with Wartwood engage!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What the…? The town founder whose name I don't even know.
How dare she!
- It's that klutzy outsider. - Bet she'll knock
- the whole city down before she's through. - No problem. I can fix it.
Wow, she fixed it.
- Whoa. When did you learn how to do that? - I took a sculpting class in Newtopia.
- You've been taking classes? - Yeah, haven't you?
- All right. - Pretty okay.
You seem all right, lady. For an outsider, anyway.
Oh, my gosh, Anne. I just got a spit of approval.
Hmm. I did win the Newtopians over by improving their city.
I bet I could do the same thing here in Wartwood.
I guess that can work.
Show me all the cruddy things wrong with this town.
Where do I even start?
Should've started with that one.
Whoa! Streetlamps that turn on? What kind of crazy town is this?
Stuff's okay, I guess.
- Still not sold on this outsider. - Hear, hear!
- Nice, dude. The town looks great. - Thanks. I still haven't done enough.
- I need to go bigger. - Did someone say bigger?
Never seen that balloon before.
Marcy, meet Mayor Toadstool. He's like if the Monopoly man had a baby
- with a piece of fried chicken. - That better be a compliment, Boonchuy.
So you're the local toad.
Right on the money. And speaking of money, are you the one who's been making
these delightful little improvements to our town?
That's a me.
I gotta hand it to you, I find your work mighty impressive.
How'd you like to help me make some bigger improvements?
I have a mind to turn this Podunk little town
into a real moneymaking tourist attraction.
If I make this town super successful,
then people will have to accept me.
Yeah! Sure, whatever.
Toadie.
Here are the plans. Take a look. Think it over.
- Fetch the balloon, Toadie. - Uh, it drifted away, sir.
It what?
Ah, dang it. That's the third time that's happened today.
- Toadie, you're promoted to balloon now. - Whoo!
Well, I hope we can do business soon.
Fly me away, Toadie. Higher, Toadie!
This is it. The way to everyone's heart.
I don't know. Any plan of the mayor's is sure to go belly up.
Ah. You're probably right.
No, you're not!
What the…?
Whoa. My house is classy now.
Look over there.
The whole town's changed.
Wow.
What in tarnation is going on here?
Oh, no. She didn't.
Good morning, ladies and gentle frogs.
And welcome to…
New Wartwood!
Your city is new and improved,
thanks to the work of myself and Mayor Toadstool.
Gone are the dumpy storefronts of old, replaced by new ones
made of imported Newtopian marble.
Feast your eyes on the new clock tower.
Not loving that clock.
And, finally, may I present the new and improved town-square statue.
Oh, is he single?
Uh, it's a statue.
That's not what I asked!
And for a limited time only,
about 15 minutes,
everything is free!
We're gonna make oodles.
Mar-Mar, are you sure this was a good idea?
Isn't it great? We completely transformed this place.
Now everyone will have to accept me.
That's not how this works.
People will accept you when they accept you.
Yeah, which is right now. You found a way that worked for you,
and I found a way that worked for me.
Huh?
What the heck is going on?
Oh, no! The weight! We built too much.
The town is sinking into the swamp.
I, for one, refuse to learn anything from this.
Well, they definitely aren't gonna like me after this,
but I can at least make sure that everyone lives.
- Come on, Anne. - Right on.
Joe Sparrow!
Honestly, this isn't that bad.
We are frogs after all.
You two can relax. You're perfectly safe.
Okay, now we gotta stop the town from sinking.
- Lighten the load somehow. - Exactly. I think I know what needs to go.
No!
That helped, but the town is still sinking.
We're not done yet.
Come on, Joe Sparrow. I believe in you!
That'll do, Joe Sparrow. That'll do.
We did it, Anne. Total success.
Wait, guys, don't be mad. Marcy just wanted to help.
It's okay, Anne. I can face the music on my own.
I'm so sorry, everyone. I mean, you're all really important to Anne.
I know how much you love her. And I just wanted you to like me too.
But I took things way too far.
Marcy, was it?
I think I speak for everyone here when I say
- we're all pretty mad at you. - To be fair, I shoulder a bit of blame.
Zip it, Toadstool! We'll get to you.
- Yes, ma'am. - As for you,
you're a walking disaster who doesn't know when to quit.
You nearly destroyed this town and killed us all in the process.
In other words,
- you're just like Anne when she got here. - Huh?
Yeah, which means we'll probably get around to liking you eventually.
Whether we want to or not. Am I right?
Anne, is that true?
Oh, for sure, man.
I even set the whole town on fire once. No lie.
- Burned me trousers off. - I remember that.
- I'm still on fire. - He's in constant pain.
Just be patient and I'm sure you'll fit in eventually.
After a lengthy period of regarding you with extreme,
borderline paranoid suspicion, mind you.
Fair enough. Thank you, everyone. I'll do my best.
In the meantime, let me at least clean this mess up.
Okay, but you better not do any more than that.
I've gotta say, she's pretty amazing.
- Yup, she's one of a kind. - Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, she's amazing.
Who the heck is even in there?
Bugs! It's just bugs!
What can I say? They were cheap!
This is so great. Our first day in forever with no responsibilities.
- So, what are we gonna do? - Ha! You'll see.
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. - Don't tempt me.
The humble seed. So much potential for growth.
One of the rare things in life where you get out what you put in.
It's beautiful.
- Have fun in there. - We're good here in the wagon.
Oh, and look after Polly, you two.
Perfect.
Now that the nerds are gone, you guys want to go make mischief? Guys?
Hey! Did you hear me?
You know, in the past, I would've said yes,
but I think I'm getting a little too old for that nonsense.
Sorry, Polly, but me and Anne have changed. We're different now.
Some of us even sound different.
- What? - Nothing.
Anyway, we should focus our energy on more mature activities.
- Sprig, use your kitty-cat blasters! - On it!
So no one wants to cause trouble with me?
Sorry, dude. And in case you didn't hear, we're responsible for you.
- Boo! - You'll get it one day
when you have someone to look after.
Death first!
- You're dead. - Dang it!
You two are responsible for me, huh?
So I guess that means you're responsible for this!
What the…?
Who's responsible for this?
They are.
Youse two, get over here and clean this up.
- We're sorry. - Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Not the eyes! Not the eyes!
Later, losers.
No, no, no!
Who needs those two?
Hmm. Now, how can I be rambunctious to the max?
People of Wartwood, welcome to the splash zone!
Aw. Really thought that splash would be bigger.
Mmm. Beetle pie.
Ah, curse these puny arms.
Mischief's no dang fun alone.
Stupid Anne. Stupid Sprig.
What the heck?
Is somebody in there?
Oh, my frog!
A monster! Stay back!
Huh?
Ha! You clown. You're copying me.
Whoa, your laugh is horrifying.
I love it!
You're no monster.
You're just a big tadpole. I'm Polly. What's your name?
Can't talk, huh? You really are a baby.
You look like one of those things from the fighting game on Anne's phone.
What was it called? A Robo.
Except you're more like a frog. I will call you Frobo.
I know, I know. I'm a genius. So, what else can you do?
No more for me, thanks.
Whoa!
I don't believe this. I have my own frog sidekick.
Frobo, how'd you like to have some fun?
Ooh, pie.
Hey, Frobo, grab that beetle pie for me.
Oh, hey, it's cherry.
Run, Frobo!
Hey, check this out.
Whoo! Your turn.
Oh, a bit of property damage there.
Oh, shoot! Frobo, it's time to fro-go!
Whoo!
Hello?
- Thinking what I'm thinking? - On three. One, two, three.
Giant octopus!
Case closed. That's why you and I are partners. Best ever.
Whoo!
Don't know what Anne was worried about. Taking care of someone is easy.
All right, Frobo. Time to enter the splash zone.
Come on, buddy. Your turn.
This might've been a mistake.
Oh, no!
No!
Hey! Can't a guy try a new hairstyle in peace?
Sweet sassy molassy.
What is that?
- Some kind of hulking monster. - Good gravy!
Whatever it is, it destroyed the fountain.
- Second time this week too. - It's some metal abomination.
No, no! He's not dangerous. He's just a big, sweet dum-dum.
Frobo, show them. Do a trick.
Gadzooks!
Quick! We gotta destroy it.
No, wait! Stop! I told you he was harmless.
Now back off!
- Wow, you really kicked me there. - Oh, oops, sorry, Polly.
Well, that don't look good.
No!
Finally done cleaning up. Now let's find Polly.
What is that thing?
Is that some kind of crazy frog robot?
Maybe.
Well, whatever it is, we've gotta stop it before it hurts anyone.
No, wait! Guys!
Hey, you!
Hey, put her down, you big…
That… That all you got?
Hang in there, kids.
Frobo, no!
No! Everybody stop!
Frobo, I know you're just trying to protect me.
Everything you did today was because I asked you to.
And now I'm asking you to stop.
Po… Polly.
Frobo, your first words.
Well, now that it's calmed down,
- let's tear this thing apart! - Never!
Come on, Toadstool, isn't there another way?
- It seems Polly really likes him. - Anne, I know this town
- is no stranger to crazy at this point… - But come on.
This Frobo thing is a menace.
It destroyed my shack. I mean, someone's gotta answer for this mess.
You're right. I will. This wasn't Frobo's fault. It was mine.
I taught him how to do all of this. I'm sorry about the damage.
I'll do whatever it takes to fix it up.
But leave Frobo alone. He's innocent.
Frobo, say you're sorry.
So sorry.
Well, it said sorry. Good enough for me.
We don't even have handcuffs that big anyway.
I guess we already accepted two monsters.
Yep. What's one more at this point?
I can't believe they had tomato plant seeds.
I still think you shouldn't have bought those. What in tarnation?
Hey, Hop Pop.
Oh, my gosh! Is that a robot?
Where did it come from? What is it made of? Can I have one?
- What's a robot? - Too hard to explain.
So I know this is a lot to take in, but can we please keep him?
I'll be his big sister. I'm ready to take care of someone.
- Whoa. - Wow, what a turnaround.
Uh, I'm not sure, Polly. It sure seems dangerous.
- I mean, can it do anything useful? - Show them, Frobo.
Ooh. Welcome to the family, Mr. Frobo.
So do anything else?
- Don't mind if I do. - Hey!
It's multigrain.
Wow, first underground computers and now a robot?
Wait a second. Sprig, you don't think that thing was what got built
- in the Ruins of Disaster, do you? - No way. And followed us home?
- That would've been hundreds of miles. - Could be.
Nah.
