Later, Hop Pop Plantar and Felicia arranged Ivy and Sprig to a date as part of the Firefly festival, as Hop Pop and Felicia planned to have their families emerged and get what they agree. That night, due to being forced by her mother, Ivy danced with Sprig as part of a dating ritual, however the two didn't want to go with it so the two decided to abandon the ritual and go watch the fireflies.

## Relationships

### Sprig Plantar

Ivy had been friends with Sprig for a long time. The two are so close that they are comfortable with rough housing with one another and hanging out casually. While not confirmed until "Anne of the Year", Ivy has apparently had a crush on Sprig for a long time. This was slightly hinted at in "Croak and Punishment" where she opted to have a Blue Moon Shell, which was initially meant for her as a birthday present, stay with Sprig so that she will know when she is close to his house. In "Return to Wartwood," the two of them are more open about their feelings for one another. Even though Sprig slipped up at not getting Ivy a gift from his trip, she still loved him and told him that she could take her on a date, before kissing him.

When Sprig and his family escaped to Earth, in order to evade the wrath of King Andrias, Ivy questioned Sasha and Captain Grime on Sprig's whereabouts when they came to Wartwood, showing concern for her boyfriend.

### Felicia Sundew

Ivy loves her mother, but she was initially shown to be strict and overbearing to her. Felicia expected Ivy to obey her and complete her chores perfectly. Ivy lacked the patience to put up with Felicia’s rules, but soon learned that her mother was teaching her self-defense through those strict chores. Ivy came to appreciate her mother for understanding her desire for adventure and promising to take her on one in the future. Ivy cares about Felicia and is shown to hug her mother whenever something dangerous is happening. Ivy is also shown to help Felicia with running her tea shop and hold her mother’s hand like most children do.
