A vanilla-sweet sunset glazed the garden. 'Ready, partner?' Geoff whispered, smiling. He smoothed his short gray hair. Alexandra clicked the flickery torch. Net and mushroom-lab bucket ready, they waited.

The pond held its breath, quiet. Papyrus rustled; a big bullfrog appeared. Green with black stripes, he gleamed. 'That's him - Frogzilla!' Alexandra breathed. 'Easy, friend,' Geoff said, net lowered.

Frogzilla puffed his cheeks, then croaked. 'My chorus needs moonlight to sing.' Alexandra angled the torch like moonbeams. 'How's this for stage lights?' she asked. Geoff tapped the mushroom-lab bucket, drumming.

Croaks sparkled across the pond, rising. 'Perfect!' Frogzilla led the melody. 'Mission accomplished,' Geoff grinned. 'Anytime, Maestro,' Alexandra bowed cheerfully. Under vanilla-sweet skies, they promised teamwork forever.
