On the Hop

Newton's been a bit concerned about team bonding ever since Lily arrived. Obviously he welcomed her with open webs because of the advantage she gives us.I welcomed her with an open mouth and chin on the floor because I couldn't believe my luck. The other phibs however, are not so sure. They have a natural mistrust of frogs in general and one that is the biggest bull in the school and who came from the inner sanctum of the evil Pixilator. Ivana in particular has been throwing daggers Lily's way, and I don't mean looks, I mean sharpened bull reeds! Lily's very understanding and luckily  very thick skinned (literally and figuratively).

Anyway, Newton decided to try and get the team to gel better by taking us all out for the night. It didn't quite go to plan as you will see in the Newspaper report below.

West Bogside Croakicle

Cops On the Hop

The police force was called to 'The Hop' last Saturday night to quell a serious disturbance. The distrurbacne apparently began when a gang of unlawful phibs entered the premises and started a fight with other local youths.


Brawling not Hopping
 'The Hop' is a popular Saturday dance club popular with many of Westside Bog's young phibians and this Saturday seemed like any other. That was until the gang entered the premises. The gang members, who are alleged to be an illegal mixed species frogpool team, seemed set on intimidation and soon singled out the members of West Bogside Academy's frogpool team. One witness, a Miss Elfin Frog, said that the gang set about their weakest member, one Mungo Frog. He was saved thanks to the bravery of the team captain, Pixie Frog, who apparently fended off five of the gang single handedly and helped Mungo to safety.

However, the gang leader, Newton Newt seemingly incensed by her interventions speared his crew on and a full scale bar brawl ensued. The police were called and were soon on the scene, where it took a full dozen officers in riot gear to calm the situation and arrest the offending gang members.

Mr. Tattle Toad, proprietor, said, "It was heartbreaking, to see all my years of hard work destroyed by those hoodlums, I hope they throw away the key!"

You can always rely on the West Bogside Croakicle to give a fair and unbiased version of events. It's rumoured that Carbuncle Toad, the editor, is actually cousin to Sir Chatternack. Of course as he is a frog he fiercely denies these.

Anyway, obviously that's not quite how it went. We only went for a good night out, no brawling intended. We had no idea that the WBS team would even be there and didn't go near them when we realised they were.

It was Pixie who attacked us, flattening poor Mungo as she tried to attack. And she didn't fend of 5 of us, she couldn't even fend off one right hook from Lily which knocked her cold for 2 minutes and gave her a fantastic black eye. But as I guess the Croak's star witness was Elfin, Pixie's sister, it's no wonder they go that part wrong.

As for the arrests, the only police who came was old Officer Fergal Frog who's Gramps best mate, and he just frog marched us back to our pads (where we were pleased to go) and left us with a water flea in our ear. And the only damage I noticed was when Lily knocked a picture from the wall as she followed through her punch.

But please don't be alarmed by all these events because it all turned out well. The rest of the team have all been bullied bullied by Pixie at one time or another, so now they think that Lily is Frogtastic!
