Anne Boonchuy was just a every day teen girl... she lived a very normal life with her family, and her besties, Marcy and Sasha. After she and her best friend's had discovered a strange music box in the local thrift store of Los Angeles, the three girl's had been split up into different parts of a strange lily pad-shaped world, called "Amphibia". After Anne and her new friends, The Plantar's decided to take care of her, they tried to find a way to get Anne back home safely in one piece. Though, in a rather shocking turn of events, Anne was able to reunite with Marcy when they had arrived in the large utopian kingdom Newtopia, discovering Marcy had become the head chief ranger and archer! Anne was rather proud at how far Marcy had brought herself in this strange new world, and was quite happy for Marcy. It was beautiful day though that very first day, Anne and Marcy will happily walking together through the large streets of Newtopia. "Heh, thanks for letting me take a walk with you, Anne!" Marcy happily said to her bestie, smiling. Anne chuckled happily, "Ay, no problem Marbles! Besides, I've been wanting to check this place out anyways ya know?" Anne happily said, as the two walked together, sitting down on a bench in the center of the town of Newtopia. "Isn't this place AMAZING though, Anna Bannana?! It's so beautiful and full of such history!" Marcy squealed, giving a wide grin full of gleeful energy. Anne giggled a little to herself, finding Marcy's energy kind of cute. Anne felt...something strange though, staring at Marcy...what...what was this feeling she felt? "...U-Uh..." Anne said to herself, stammering faintly. This feeling she felt it...didn't feel bad though. It felt...warm...cozy and happy inside of her chest. "Heh..." Anne chuckled to herself, slowly beginning to squish Marcy's cute squishy cheeks, causing Marcy to pause, her face starting to blush in a confused manner. "Whoa...I...never realized how squishy your cheeks were, Mar Mar!" Anne giggled, smirking widely with a happy laughter. Marcy then began to feel a...strange feeling as well, staring at Anne's kind smile, as Marcy began to form a quivering smile, slowly hugging Anne's hands as she squished her cheeks, "...Mmm...~" Marcy giggled, closing her eyes with a joyful, happy expression, which caused Anne's face to blush even MORE in a bashful look. But, Anne didn't quite mind this though...it was rather cute seeing Marcy this way. As the two smiled at each other, staring into they're eyes, feeling...rather warm feeling's in both they're chests. "A...A-Anne..?" Marcy stammered, staring up at her slowly nuzzling next to Anne's shoulder. Anne smiled, "Yeah Marcy?" she asked, staring down at Marcy. "...Can...Can I cuddle next to you?" Marcy faintly muttered, shyly pulling her hood over her face in a nervous manner. Anne's eyes went wide in shock...did...did she just ask if she could CUDDLE next to her?! After a few seconds of Anne, standing still in shock, she began to smile though... maybe it would be kind of interesting trying to. "Heh...sure Marbles, come on over..." She said, to which Marcy happily squealed, snuggling next to her bestie, hugging her waist. Anne's eyes opened wide once again when Marcy did so, blushing as red as a tomato, "U-Uh...", She muttered nervously with an anxious expression, as she stared into Marcy's adorable eyes, trying her best to play it cool and not freak out. "...Hehe...And I thought I was the clumsy one." Marcy said, giggling to herself laughing, causing Anne to laugh a little bit too as well. As the two shared a happy little laugh, it slowly faded as the same strange feeling they were developing set in again, as they stared into each other's eyes with happy lovestruck looks. Anne and Marcy both paused, looking embarrassed, "I-i'm S-sorry I...I didn't mean for this to be awkward Anne!" Marcy stammered, covering her hands on her face in a nervous manner, stammering. Anne chuckled, putting her hand on Marcy's shoulder, "It's alright Mar Mar! Besides, It felt...kind of nice ya know?" She said happily, smiling kindly at Marcy. Marcy's nervousness slowly began to melt away, as she smiled back at Anne, "...O-okay Anne.." She happily said to her. Though as Marcy and Anne paused, they soon forgot they were supposed to see King Andrias today for some reason. "Oh my gosh, I forgot! We got to get to the castle Anne!" Marcy gasped, taking Anne by the hand as the two ran towards King Andrias's castle home. As the two young teenager's walked through the long, spiraling hallway's, they finally arrived in the throne room, where Sprig was telling the King about the many adventure's Anne had with them. "So there we were, Anne battling against Sasha, as the two slashed they're blades...we thought we were GONERS!" Sprig shouted, raising his hands in the air full of excitement. Andrias chuckled, smiling down at him, "Hahha..! Seems you and your lil human friend Anne have lived QUITE a bunch of amazing adventures, Sprig!" He said, smirking widely. Sprig giggled, "That's nothing! There was this one time, when Maddie Flour put a curse and me an-" But before Sprig could finish his sentence, Anne and Marcy both walked in, waving at them all. "Hey everyone!" Anne said, happily smiling, A big cheer of 'Hi!', 'Hey' and 'Hi there's were sounded off as soon as the two 13-year-old's came into the throne room. 

"Ah, hello there girl's!", King Andrias said, giving a wave, "Oh, h-hello Andrias!" Marcy said happily, as she and Anne waved back at him.  The king then noticed they seemed a bit nervous, "Uh, girls..? Is everything alright?" , Andrias said, giving a slightly worried look, raising one of his eyebrow's up in concern.  Anne and Marcy both looked at each other, blushing faintly, "Uh...Y-yeah, yeah totally Andrias!" Anne chuckled, giving a nervous blush.  Marcy stared at Anne, not knowing what to really say, "Uhm...y-yeah! Yeah, what Anne said!" Marcy said nervously, chuckling. Andrias raised an eyebrow up, "Uh...are you two sure? " He said, puzzled, "Y-yeah! Yeah totally...uhm...why do you ask?" Anne murmured softly, faking a smile, "Uhm... Because you two are holding hands with each other?" Sprig suddenly butted in, Anne and Marcy flinched, staring down at both of they're hands, their fingers locked to each other's palms. They both stared at each other, feeling that same warmth again for some reason, "H-heh....yeah, I uh... guess we are." Anne said softly to herself, smiling at Marcy.  Marcy stared back at Anne, smiling bashfully, "H-heh...Yeah, right." Marcy said to herself, blushing faintly staring at the brown-skinned Thai girl.  The two of them chuckled softly to themselves, trying to hide these new feelings they were developing for each other, Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop and Andrias stared at each other, in confusion.  "So uh....anyways... why'd you call us here, King Andrias?" Marcy asked, staring up at the king with curiosity, "Ah, yes! I brought you all here because I wanted to invite you all to a special party that I will be hosting in the throne room tonight!" Andrias said, giving each one of  them small envelope's, with very fancy writing written on each one of them.  

"Whoa, awesome! Thanks, big guy!" Anne said, giving a thumbs up to King Andrias. Marcy's face went into an expression of nervous-ness when this was brought up, as she began to look down nervously, twiddling her thumbs. "U-Uhm... I don't think I'm going to come." She said softly, to which Anne turned to Marcy, "Wha?! Why Marcy?" Anne said, trying to comfort her best friend. "Anne, you know how I am at doing social interactions, okay? I can't even look people in the eyes correctly!"  Marcy said, covering her face in a frustrated manner, "Look, Maybe you guy's should just...go without me."  She muttered to herself, frowning,  looking down sadly. Anne wasn't going to accept this; she wouldn't let Marcy take up a chance like this just because of her social anxiety, "No Marcy, your going to that party tonight, okay?" Anne said, giving a determined look to Marcy, " Anne, I can't go to it okay? I'm just going to  make a total fool of myself okay? I know you want me to go okay? But I just can't do i-" Before Marcy could finish her sentence, Anne gripped her shoulder tightly. 

"Marcy! You are NOT going to just pass  a life time event like this okay?! Your going to the party!" Anne said, giving a stern, determined look to her best friend. Marcy paused for a minute, sighing, "...Okay, Anne. But what if I mess up at the party though?" Marcy said, staring at  her nervously, Anne thought to herself for a moment. Suddenly, an idea came to her head! "Well then, why don't I couch you?" Anne said,  giving Marcy a happy smirk, Marcy looked a bit shocked at this.  "Y...You? Tutor ME?!"  She gasped, staring at Anne in shock, Anne nodded. "Yeah! I could teach you how to be as confident and good at social interactions as I am, Mar Mar!" Anne said. Marcy stood there for a couple of seconds, she was shocked that her best friend wanted to help her so bad with this. She felt a glimmer of hope in her chest, smiling, "Heh...Alright Anne, I'll let you teach me." The Asian 13-year-old said, happily smiling softly at Anne. "Great! So, let's get started." Anne said, taking Marcy by the hand, as the two headed off to start practicing. To Be continued!

Chapter Text

As Marcy and Anne walked through the streets of Newtopia, Anne began to help Marcy practice. Though it wasn't going quite well... Marcy was stuttering rapidly whenever Anne talked, she constantly was nervous whenever she spoke, and she couldn't repeat anything Anne  wanted her to say correctly. "Ugh, Anne this is HOPELESS, alright?! There's no way I'll be able to tend this party at this rate!" Marcy said in frustration,  holding her hand gritting her teeth angrily. Anne sighed, putting her hand over her shoulder, "Marcy come on...You can't just  give up that easily, alright? You have to at least try." Anne said calmly, Marcy stared at her sighing, "Y...Y-your right Anne....But how am I going to get prpeared at this rate though?" Marcy asked, staring at  the Thai-American teen in confusion, "If i may, I believe I could be of assistance." A soft,  female voice said outload. Anne and Marcy looked over to see Lady Olivia, King Andrias's royal advisor, standing in front of the two. "Oh, hello Lady Olivia!" Marcy waved, smiling happily at her, Olivia smiled back, "Hello there, Master Marcy....Ah! Greetings Anne. What might you two be doing out here by yourselves?" Olivia asked, staring at the two, in a puzzled manner. "Well, ya see Olivia, I'm trying to help Marcy get ready for a certain party today!" Anne said,  to which Marcy nodded her head, "Oh, I see...Well, you know, Master Marcy is going to need a second person to go with though, "Lady Olivia said. Anne and Marcy paused for a moment, staring at her, "...'Second Person'? What are you talking about, Olivia?" Marcy asked, her voice starting to sound worried, "Well, the person who is invited to the party must have one or two people to go with, dear..."
