Looking for a Friend

Mr. Ropuha was lonely. Sure there were plenty of other fun critters around, but no Toads to share his life with.
So he signed up onto SingleAmphibians.com in hopes of finding a soulmate.....

Soon he found her - a cute little Toad out in California - and they really hit it off.

They spent countless hours emailing each other....

Mr. Ropuha had fallen deeply in love. It felt so good!

His beloved Tiana had agreed to come for a visit, and he was so excited that he could barely eat.

Tiana was flying in from California and then taking the train, so Mr. Ropuha went down to the train station eagerly anticipating
her arrival. He paced the platform nervously with his big bouquet of roses. Finally the train pulled into the station....

Everyone got off the train, but there was no sign of his Tiana. Then an old geezer with a mountain of luggage
appeared at the end of the platform, and he was holding a sign for 'Ropuha'.

This guy was certainly not his beloved Tiana. In fact he bore a striking resemblance to his old Dad.

"What the..?!?!? You aren't my Tiana!!"

"Oooops..." she said while taking off her glasses, and undoing her shirt, "I guess I forgot to tell you that I travel 'incognito'.
I got so tired of every Tom, Dick, and Frog, trying to hit on me when I'm travelling, that I disguise myself."

"Also, this outfit I'm wearing is a gift for you. It's a OOAK by a designer from the Ukraine.
I didn't want it to get all wrinkled in my luggage..."

What a relief! thought Mr. Ropuha. It was Tiana after all, and she was even more beautiful in person!

"These roses are so beautiful!"

"Would you mind bringing my luggage?"

"What the heck do you have in these?!?!?"

"Everything I own. Didn't I tell you? I'm moving in with you!"

That evening, at home, relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine....

"I'm so glad you're here." "Me too."
