[frogs croaking]

[grunting]

Why do we always hang out in the woods?

You have a perfectly good living room.

Where's the fun in that?

This place is full of nature.

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, exactly.

[humming]

[gasps] Stay back.

It could be a bloodsucking predator.

You are really not selling me on this place.

Oh, no. It's an--

Ambush!

[grunting]

I'm hit! Sprig down! Sprig down!

-Ha ha! -Hey, Ivy. Nice ambush.

Gourd in a wig? Classic.

[chuckles] Can't take all the credit. You're really easy to trick.

-Well, guilty as charged. -[both laugh]

[clearing throat]

Oh, Ivy, meet Anne. Oddity from another world.

Anne, meet Ivy. Childhood acquaintance

and occasional sparring partner.

[grunts, laughs]

-Hey, Ivy. -Hey, I've seen you around.

Nice to officially meet.

Do you like being randomly attacked?

-Not at all. -Well, too bad.

See you later, Sprig.

But you won't see me.

[shouts]

[laughs] Well, well, well.

She's kinda cute, huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well.

[Sprig] You're being weird, Anne.

[Anne] We're home!

What have you two been doin'?

I've been lookin' for you all morning.

Oh, nothing.

Except Sprig was totally flirting with a cute girl!

[gasps] No kiddin'?

Anne, it's not like that.

Ivy Sundew and I are just friends.

Ivy Sundew? Nobody move!

I'm gettin' the courtship kit.

This is so exciting!

I'm gonna go get my dating magazines. BRB!

I don't actually care.

Here we go. The Firefly Formal is tonight.

It's the perfect opportunity to begin the ritual.

-Ritual? -Uh-huh.

Only frogs who have performed the ceremonial dance

in the ceremonial garb are allowed to be wed.

Huh. Kitschy. I like it.

Guys! We're just friends.

Besides, I'm already engaged to Maddie, right?

She gave me this nifty ring.

Forget her. The Sundews have secret proprietary crops.

Do you have any idea what that means?

Uh...

If our families merge, we'll be rich!

Wow. So romantic.

Uhh! I love these magazines.

Look, Sprig. It says here

two-thirds of all soul mates start out as "just friends."

Wait, what? Really? And you trust these things?

Definitely. Magazines never lie.

Could Ivy be my eternal love,

my soul mate, the cat to my bat?

Well, we're about to find out

'cause I already asked her family.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

They agreed to a date!

What do you want?

Oh, your tip. All right, here you go.

But don't take too much, though. I have chores to do later.

Well, missing out on eternal love does sound bad.

I guess one date couldn't hurt.

-Hey! -That's my boy!

[music playing]

-[Hop Pop] Stop strugglin'. -Just a little more.

-[Sprig grunting] -All righty. Cool.

My boy, you look incredible.

Uh... I don't know about this.

Ivy's gonna think I look stupid.

I think I look stupid.

Great! You'll have something in common.

It's fine.

Ow. Ow. Ow.

My little girl's a woman.

Mom!

[gulps] All right, boy,

go get that lucrative business relationship.

I mean, romantic relationship.

[chuckles] Saved it.

[squeaking]

Hey.

Hi.

Uh... these are for you.

Oh.

Thanks.

So...

you're looking like a... girl frog.

Oh, okay. I like your, uh, collar.

[groans, chuckles]

[sighs] I'm so happy we agreed on this merger, Hopadiah.

That Sprig of yours looks like a hard worker.

Like we agreed, you'll get Sprig to work at your restaurant,

and I'll get the seeds to those Sundew vegetables.

Agreed.

This is so exciting.

I wonder what their ship name will be.

Ivig? Sprigivy?

What are you even saying?

Shh! Let's watch our little love doves fly.

Love doves are birds that mate for life. I got it.

Excuse me, everybody,

but I hear we have a couple of love doves here tonight.

Ivy Sundew and Sprig Plantar.

Whoo! A big hand for them. Come on, let me hear it.

Hopadiah Plantar says, "Sprig, don't mess this up for us."

And Felicia Sundew would like Ivy to "have a great courtship. Wink."

It says "wink" here. "Love, Mom."

All right, then. Hit it, boys!

[music playing]

[both chuckle nervously]

[both grunting]

There we go.

I had no idea you felt this way about me, Sprig.

Oh, sure. Didn't you know two-thirds of all mates start with souls?

Ah! I mean, two-thirds of all souls start with...

[sighs] I can't do this.

I'm really sorry, Ivy.

I-- I don't want to date you.

Everyone just convinced me this was a good idea.

Oh, thank goodness! I only went along because I didn't want to hurt you.

Also 'cause my mom forced me.

Ha! Parents, am I right?

What do you say we ditch this thing and go watch some fireflies?

They're in season.

[laughs] After you, friend.

Why, thank you, friend.

[both laughing]

Ooh-la-la. The little love doves are sneaking off into the woods.

You know what that means.

It means they're abandoning the ritual!

If those two don't finish that dance...

Then this courtship will be ruined!

Along with my financial security!

Wait, what? We cannot let them waste this chance.

They say nine out of ten people stay up at night

regretting missed romantic opportunities. Nine out of ten!

Come on, gang. Let's get this merger back on track.

Uh, counterpoint. Why don't we just leave them alone?

Ridiculous. Not a chance.

I'm way too invested right now.

[grunting]

Wow.

Man, this is way better than that stuffy old dance. Right, Ivy?

Ivy? Ivy?

Ambush!

Ha ha!

Oh, no, you don't.

Ha ha ha!

Come back here! This'll be your grave!

That's, uh... That's pretty dark.

Hmm. Where are those dang kids?

-[wings flapping] -[bird screeches]

What's that? Huh?

-They're beautiful. -Just look at them.

Love doves. Don't move or we're dead.

What? I thought they were all romantic and mate for life.

Yeah, and they spend that life massacring all living things.

[both coo, shriek]

[all scream]

[squawking]

[all scream]

[all] Beautiful. [scream]

Hey, purple ones.

Oh, yeah, those are babies. I read that they're purple

so the moms can find them if they get lost.

What? That's adorable.

I know, right?

Bleh.

[screaming] What the...

That sounded like...

[screaming]

Our families! We gotta help them!

Way ahead of you. Come on, let's go!

[screeching]

[all grunt]

[all gasp]

[both shriek]

We're stuck.

[both squawk]

Uh, so they're not gonna eat us?

Not right away. Love doves prefer

to let their prey marinate in fear first.

[groans] Can it, Plantar. This is all your fault.

If you taught your grandson proper courtship technique--

My fault? It's obviously yours.

[grunts, spits]

Guys, it says here that our relationships define us,

and nothing else. Nothing else!

[all speaking, indistinct]

[growls] Enough!

It's all your faults.

Say what? Impossible.

Zip it! The only reason we're here marinating

is because you all had to play matchmaker.

You two were greedy, plain and simple.

Maybe a little. It's nuanced.

Nice. Totally innocent for once.

You two should be ashamed.

Are you kidding?

Sprig only went through with this

because of you and this dumb magazine!

[growling]

[panting]

Wow. I feel lighter somehow,

more... free.

[both] Hey!

We're here to rescue you.

Whew! Oh, thank frog.

We're also here to tell you we don't want to date each other

and we never will. We know. Polly set us straight.

Look, kids, we--

Sprig, I'm so sorry.

[shrieking]

I always tell them, "Save the heartfelt apologies for when we get to safety."

Don't worry, guys. Sprig and I are ready for combat.

Right? Right.

On the count of three.

One, two...

-Sprig? -Ambush! Ha ha!

-[grunts] -[shrieks]

Take that,

you beautiful creature!

[squawks]

-[squawks] -Whoa!

[cooing]

Nice ambush.

Well, I learned from the best.

Now let's finish this up.

[squawks]

[sighs]

Amazing. Even in defeat, they're majestic.

[cooing]

Come along now, Ivy. Let's get you home

so I can apologize safely.

Okay. That was fun.

-See ya, Sprig! -See ya, Ivy!

Sprig, next time we won't get the courtship kit out

until you're good and ready.

Now I can focus on finding love for Polly.

No!

Well, that's the end of that.

Now you and Ivy can go back to being just friends. Yep.

Oh, you just fell in love with here, didn't you?

Yeah, I just fell in love with her.
