This was slightly hinted at in "Croak & 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. It is confirmed that they are very much in love with one another and that they can't stand being apart even for a second, but eventually accept that they have to separate every now and then after they nearly fail an important mission.

Anne Boonchuy[]
Anne first met Ivy in "Dating Season" and was initially a little put off by Ivy wanting to ambush her. Although this feeling subsides when Anne joins Hop Pop and Felicia in getting her and Sprig to court. By the end of the episode, she and Sprig talk about how they are only friends to which Anne joins in to apologize. They do not interact until Anne once again tries to force Sprig to confess his feelings at the party in "Anne of the Year", showing she is very supportive of their relationship. In "Return to Wartwood", Anne states she'll help the Plantars but only for Sprivy as she "won't let that ship sink". When Sprig and Ivy make plans to go on a date, Anne is overjoyed to the point Polly had to pull her away. In "The Shut-In!", Anne has many questions about Sprig's stories, one of them being about Ivy being bitten. As Ivy scares the Plantars, Anne has about the same reaction as the Plantars, being impressed. In "Ivy on the Run" Anne is shown to cheer Ivy on when she defeats Felicia. In "Sprivy", the town was annoyed by Sprig and Ivy, but it was unclear if Anne was too.
