😂

"Come one, come all! Come get a taste of the Plantar family's vegetables!!" I sang out enthusiastically.

It was the biggest group of stands in the year! Whoever sells the most items at their stand, wins!

"Come on, kids! Reel in more buyers!" Hop Pop gave a thumbs up from his vegetable stand.

So far, we got in 17 people! At this rate, we should be in first place by no time!

"How's your pitch going?" Sprig asked, walking up besides me with a big sign that says 'Plantar stands: the one you can trust! Best vegetables here!'

"I think it's working! I just got 8 people who said they'd go check it out!" I chuckled.

Polly hopped up on the other side of me.

"Anne! Your idea for little vegetables on a tray was Genius! Sliced peppers, broccoli, carrots, and little tomatoes; all with that weird substance you call 'ranch'?? People are buying them for 12 coppers!" She said excitedly.

"12 coppers?!" Spring and I gasped.

"Yes! I knew it! People loved those things back on Earth!" I chuckled.

"Well, lets go get some more buyers for them! Hop to it!" Polly giggled.

A few hours went by, and we were tied with the stand directly next to us that was selling fruit. The sun was almost setting.

"Come on! We only have a few minutes left..." Sprig groaned.

"We've already sold stuff to pretty much everyone here! Who else would buy some?" I sighed, leaning against the vegetable stand.

The fruit stand person gave me a smug look, before serving to another customer.

"That's it. I'm going back out." I muttered, rolling up my sleeves.

I looked around. Who hasn't bought anything from us?...

! Stumpy!

I ran over to stumpy, who was browsing at another stand.

"Stumpy! You need vegetables, right!!" I said excitedly.

He chuckled and turned to me.

"Ah, Hello Anne. I was just about to head over to your stand-"

Before He could finish, I grabbed his arm and brought him over to Hop Pop.

"Anne, we only have 30 seconds!" Sprig gasped.

"What?!" I groaned.

"We're ten off from wining..." Polly sighed.

Crap..I really thought we could win...

I let go of Stumpy, who continued to go over to the stand.

"Ten off, you say?" He chuckled.

Stumpy handed Hop Pop a small coin purse.

"I'll have the remainder of your vegetables, then. I'll serve them tomorrow at my restaurant!" He said, picking up a basket and filling it with about 20 vegetables.

"Really?!?!" I Hopped up and down excitedly.

"Yes!!! And with 5 seconds left to spare!!" I grinned.

And with that, a horn went off. The Mayor then walked in the middle of the stands.

"Now, I see that the Plantars somehow got a last minute win." He chuckled, "so as mayor of this fine town, I declare these frogs the winners!"

Everyone cheered and clapped, and I felt so proud for us. It took about three days to round up all these vegetables, clean them, and come up with ideas for selling them.

Payed off!

"Hear that, kids?!" Hop Pop said excitedly.

The mayor walked up with a large bag, bigger than the mayors head.

"Here's your winnings. 700 copper."

700 COPPER?!?!

"Wow! This is more than last year's reward!" Hop Pop gasped.

The mayor placed the bag on the stand, and then walked back, "I declare this, the end of the 'Stand-off'!"

With that, everyone started packing up.

I ran over to Hop Pop, Polly, and Sprig.

"700?!?" I asked.

"Yup!" Polly grinned.

"And we got about 150 from just selling things!" Hop Pop laughed.

"So..850 coppers?!" Sprig jumped.

"Yup! And I say we celebrate at Stumpy's first thing in the morning!" Hop Pop said, putting the 150 copper into the bag, and loading it onto Bessie.

We gathered the remainder of our things, and rode back home. Once we got there, Sprig and I collapsed on the couch.

"Ugh...my feet hurttts.." I muttered.

"Hehe, I don't have feet." Polly chuckled.

"Hey, you guys wanna watch a movie with me on my phone?" I asked.

"Movie night?!" Sprig asked.

Hop Pop chuckled, "I'll let you youngsters go at it. I'm going to bed." He said, starting to go up the stairs.

"Gdnight Hop Pop!" We all said in unison.

We set up a fort in the living room, and set up my phone in such a way so we could all see it. I then put on 'Beauty and the Beast', and we all sat back and watched.

The credits were rolling, and I could feel my eye lids slowly closing.

Haha, nope! Keep those lids up!

I shook my head and yawned, looking at Polly and Sprig on either side of me.

Polly has long been sleeping, and Sprig has been sleeping for about 10 minutes now.

Sprig looked cute while he slept— why am I thinking of that?

"Welp, I better get them to bed." I chuckle nervously.

I stood up, and took down the fort. I picked up Polly, and carried her up to her room. I then came back down to get Sprig.

Once I set Sprig in his bed, I took a deep breath.

I quickly run down to the basement and jump onto my bed.

"Oh bed, how I missed you so.." I laugh, kissing my pillow.

Crap...why did I have to think back to that?

I sigh, and sit up, leaning my back against the wall.

"It's been four days. That's four days of putting that behind me... but....w-what if I...liked him too?"

I blush at this. How would I know? How does anyone know?

"Why am I thinking of this now? It's nearly midnight.." I say quickly, laying back down in my bed; but unable to sleep.
