Spranne

**Spranne** is the romantic and friendship pairing between Sprig Plantar and Anne Boonchuy.

## History

In **Anne Or Beast**, we are introduced to Sprig Plantar, our secondary protagonist. After One-eyed Wally, the town loafer, runs in screaming into town that a monster tried to attack him, Sprig runs off to capture the monster, later revealed to be Anne. Anne captures Sprig in one of her traps and is seen freaking out. Right after, a monstrous mantis shows up, and Anne is about to run away when she looks over her shoulder to see Sprig still caught. She reluctantly frees him, carrying him to safety. They hide under a log where they introduce themselves, and Sprig goes off with Anne to find her food. Later on, the townsfolk arrive, catching Anne in a trap. Hop Pop congratulates Sprig on luring Anne over, to which she snaps at. Another mantis shows up, and Anne frees herself. As the mantis is about to attack Sprig, she jumps in and holds it claw up, freeing him. After the mantis is defeated, Anne goes off to live with Sprig and his family, and the episode ends.

In **Best Fronds**, Sprig takes Anne out to a lake so she's less homesick. They spend nearly a whole day there when suddenly they are attacked by a water monster. After defeating it, they sneak back home, and the episode ends.

In **Flood, Sweat, and Tears**, Anne's bedroom gets flooded, and whilst Hop Pop tries to fix the leak, she bunks with Sprig. Throughout the episode, it is shown that Sprig and Anne get more irritated with each other as roommates and try to fix the leak. Soon, they discover a duo of giant lampreys, who escape after being defeated, resulting in the water draining. Anne and Sprig later find that being honest with each other has made them even better friends.

At the end of **Grubhog Day** Sprig grabs Anne's hand and tells her that he's thankful of her sticking with him today and that it was a ride he won't forget.

In **Bizarre Bazaar,** Anne and Sprig sneak off to go to the Bizarre Bazaar to see if they can find anyone ho can help them with the music box. The host of a beetle racing contest calls Sprig "Anne's boyfriend", to which Anne denies it.

In **Reunion ,** followed by the events of the episode **Anne of the year** the frogs are invited to a party in the toad tower, but later Sprig notices that something's not right so he decides to find Anne who is catching up and spending time with Sasha in the room ''she had be living this whole time''.The toads betray the frogs and when Anne manages to sneak out of Sasha's room she finds the frogs and when Sprig sees her, he jumps on her, giving her a big hug, telling her that he's glad to see her and Anne is smiling at him. When Sasha tries to manipulate Anne emotionally, Sprig stands up for her saying that she's brave, smart and she's not going to be pushed around by a bully like her. Sasha tries to hurt Sprig with a sword, but Anne protects him.Later the toad tower starts to blow up because of Wally's boomshrooms and everyone escapes except from Anne, Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop and Sasha who are still on the top of the tower. Anne tries to hold Sasha who is about to fell off the tower, but she can't hold her and she's about to fell too but Sprig catches her, followed by Hop Pop and Polly. Sasha sees that they can't hold her and she releases her hand and falls, but Grime catches her.Anne sees the toads leaving with Sasha who is wounded and Sprig asks her if she's okay, but she starts to cry and Sprig hugs her followed by Hop Pop and Polly.

In **Marcy At The Gates** after Sprig's apologizing to Marcy for being suspicious of her earlier, she tells him it's obvious he's really important to Anne and later nearly at the end of the episode when he asks her questions, his last question before Hop Pop interrupts him is how was Anne back home with sparkly eyes while whispering.

In **True Colors**, Sprig and Anne have what they think is their last adventure together. Later on in the episode, Andrias threatens to drop Sprig out of the window. Anne pleads with him not to, saying that Sprig is best friend in this or any other world. After Andrias drops him, Anne starts crying and has several flashbacks to the time she spent with Sprig, which leads to her calamity powers firing up. She attacks Andrias vehemently, and says over and over again ''Give him back!'' until she passes out from exhaustion.

In **Sprig's Birthday**, Anne is insistent on giving Sprig the best birthday he's ever had. After visiting a party store, Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory and having dinner at a fancy Mexican restaurant, she asks him if it was his best birthday. He responds by saying it's definitely in the top 3, which makes her upset. She then takes them to get on a hot air balloon, which ultimately ends in disaster. Later on, she admits that she just wanted to be the one to give him good memories on his birthday as his best friend, guilty that she hadn't even known it was today or how old he was turning. Her present to him was a golden telescope from the observatory with both of their names engraved on it with a heart.

In **All In**, Sprig looks forward to when this is all over so things can go back to normal and he can spend time with Anne. When Hop Pop tells him that he should be prepared to never see her again, he starts to realize that it could very well end up that way, making him gloomy for the rest of the episode. He protects Anne and risks his life several times in the episode, even standing up to Andrias to save her.

In **The Hardest Thing**, Sprig goes up to space after Anne to try and change her mind about giving herself up to save Amphibia, saving ''Please don't do this, don't go! I don't know what I'll do without you! You're my everything. You've changed my life!''. Anne grabs hold of his hands, and tells him that he's changed her life too. He tearfully accepts her choice, crying into her hands and leaves so she can do what she must. Once she uses the stones to get rid of the red moon, Sprig comes back for her and takes her back to the surface of Amphibia. He holds her in his arms and cries until she dies. When she comes back, he throws himself at her and she hugs him tight. Later when the portal is open and ready to send the three girls home, Sprig and Anne hug each other and cry together. They do one last handshake and is heading towards the portal until Sprig stops her for another hug. She gets on her knees to hold him for a second. They let go of each other and Sprig watches Anne leave. He spends the next few months doing research on things that he learned with Anne. Back on Earth, Anne grows up to be a herpetologist and has a little pink frog named Sprig, who she says is named after a dear old friend of hers.

## Probability

Since they are different species, the probability of a romantic relationship between the 2 of them was very low. But since inter species relationships have been shown to work in the show (Bessie and Joe Sparrow) it opens the possibility of having' amphibian/human relationships.
