Chapter 1: Scene 1
Chapter Text
Tiana let herself be dragged up into Lotties bedroom as she recounted everything that had just happened to her. She watched as her dreams shattered and crumbled right in front of her as the Fenner Brothers stuffed their faces with her beignets. As they walked up the grand marble stairs Charlotte began droning on and on about her dance with the prince, completely missing the whole conversation her and those greedy Fenners had just had.
Wednesday. She had until Wednesday or her dreams of owning her restaurant were down the drain, all her hard work, all those years of saving, and working for nothing. She choked out a sob at the thought as Lottie helped her into her bedroom, sitting her down on her luscious pink bed. “Oh Tia Honey! Did you see the way he looked at me?!? A marriage proposal CANT be far behind!” Charlotte exclaimed, handing Tiana a blue gown. Taking the dress, Tiana solemnly went to change, holding back tears as she listened to her friend prattle on about her dreams coming true.
Lost within a deep sea of her own thoughts Tiana slipped on the fancy getup and gazed at herself in the mirror. If she hadn't looked so miserable she might've thought herself to be a princess. Her long hair had been pulled into a bun save for the few curls that tried to escape, and her ebony skin popped under the blue silk and jewels that adorned her body. As she stepped out from the changing screens she heard Lottie gasp and whip
her body around facing away from her gaudy vanity. Causing her glittering pink dress to move with her. “Look at you…Aren’t you just as pretty as a magnolia in may?” Charlotte picks up the tiara she’d set aside for Tiana and places it on her friend's head, guiding her over to a nearby mirror to adjust it. “Seems like only yesterday we were both little girls wishing our fairytale dreams. And tonight they’re finally coming true.” At this Tiana looked up at Lottie in the mirror, desperately trying to hold her tears back. Charlotte, seeing her friend finished with dressing excitedly adjusts her bra and gives her friend one last playful nudge. “Well… Back to the fray!” She says gliding over to the door with effortless grace and confidence . “Wish me luck! Oh Naveen!!” She yelled slamming the door behind her, leaving Tiana in the room alone.

Tiana stood there for a while frozen in the same spot just taking in everything, and then something snapped, all the pain she had been carrying , all of the disappointment and sadness that had been inside boiled over like a pot of gumbo until she couldn't hardly take it anymore. Tiana raced out to the balcony, tears flowing down her face and collapsed on the wooden railing silently sobbing. She knew how silly she must look, doing all this crying, but she found the more she tried to fight back the tears, the more they came. “I’m sorry daddy, I guess we're not getting that restaurant after all.. I wis-” Tiana stopped as she caught herself. Was she really this desperate, was she really going to put her faith in some stupid star to give her the thing she’d wanted most? Tiana lifted her head up to the night sky gazing at the stars pondering whether or not it had really come to this. She reached into her dress pocket holding out her restaurant photo reading her daddy's handwriting. Tiana's Place. She looked back and forth from the photo and the evening star, gauging how she was even considering doing such a childish thing like wishing on some star. “I cannot believe I’m doing this…please please please..” she begged holding her photo to her heart praying up to the heavens that somehow her request was heard in the same way she’d seen Charlottes was. Little did she know that while she had been wishing, a transformed prince Naveen had hopped his way through the La Bouffe’s estate settling on the railing of that very same balcony intently watching her. Originally He’d just been trying to get a better view of the doppelganger who’d stood in his place on the dance floor but heard the sobbing cries of a woman and became intrigued. So he hopped all the way up to the balcony where he had finally gotten a clear view of this mystery woman and his bulbous eyes widened at the sight of her.. Ashidanza, she's beautiful! He’d thought as he stared at the unknown princess before him. Naveen had always thought the women in America were beautiful, but he’d never seen anyone with such natural beauty and elegance before. The way her dark brown skin and chocolate eyes glimmered in the moonlight, the curls that fell from her bun framing her face, or maybe it was the way her satin and silk dress fitted her curvaceous body just right. Whatever it was he was sure even as his handsome human self, her gaze would have been enough to make him melt. Scanning her face he could see tears gleaming just above her cheek bones causing moonlight to reflect off them enhancing her beauty. Gods even as she weeps she looks like a goddess.. And her voice.. Entracing and just so beautiful…Sighing at just how magnificent this woman was, Nvaeen hopped closer trying to take in every detail about her. If I were human, Faldi Faldonza I would kneel just at the thought of her presence. But due to him being distracted and still not used to his new body, Naveen's throat sack instinctively bulged outwards releasing a long croak from his mouth, almost immediately causing him to shoot his webbed hands to his mouth. At this tiana whipped her head around,her eyes searching for anyone who could possibly be watching her.”Hello…is anyone there..?” Her eyes wandered down to the dance floor where everyone seemed focused on the Prince dancing with Charlotte. Confused she scanned the balcony again for any person when her eyes landed on the railing beside her to a..frog? She gasped in shock but then quickly regained her composure, wiping her tears from her face and chuckling at how silly she looked.Snap out of it Tiana you acting scary over a frog.. Walking closer, Tiana scolded herself for actually believing such a thing would work. ”What did you think was gonna happen Tiana, a stack of cash would magically appear in your hands?” Tiana shook her head at herself laying her head on the railing to get a better look of the frog. “So what now, I reckon you want a kiss?she said in a sultry voice, making light of how ridiculous the whole situation was. Naveen forgetting that he was a literal animal reflexively replied, “Kissing would be nice.. Eh?” At this Tiana lost it, she let out a shriek and backpedaled all the way back into Charlotte's book shelf hitting her head impossibly hard and falling straight to the floor. “Miss I am so sorry please just-” Naveen hopped down from the railing avoiding flying stuffed animals she sent his way. Wow this woman has impeccable aim..Naveen thought as he quickly hopped toward her. Tiana, still on the floor throwing toys, crawled all the way to Charlotte's bed desperately trying to create distance between her and the weird demon frog chasing her. “YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME Y-YOU DEMON SPAWN!!!” Tiana screamed. “Princess please! Let me explain. I… Am Prince Navee-” SPLAT! Tiana threw one of Charlotte's fairytale books right at the cursed prince, sending him flying straight into a wall in an almost cartoonish fashion. As Naveen painfully groaned beneath the book, pushing himself from underneath it., Tiana registered the words the frog had spoken. “Prince?!? B-But I didn't wish for…wait, if you say you're the prince, t-then who is that down there. Waltzing. With Lottie, on the dance floor?!?” “Look. All I know is that one minute I am charming and handsome, and the next thing I kno-” His throat bulged again releasing another involuntary croak. “The next thing I know I cannot stop doing..THAT.” Slowly getting up from atop the bed Tiana slowly approached the frog hesitantly going to scoop him up in her hands. Naveen willingly allowed her to grab him and place him on the vanity where she sat to try and understand. “How is this even possible? For pete's sake i'm talking to a frog!” Naveen sat there for a moment trying to recollect the events that led him to this transformation. “Well it started with the shado-RIBBIT…sorry. Ahem, it was the shad-RIBBIT” Tiana grimaced as the frog released a series of burps and croaks seemingly being unable to mention anything pertaining to the shadow man. “Faldi Faldonza…the curs-RIBBIT, I cannot tell you about him, about anything!” The frog sat back on its hind legs gazing up at Tiana with the saddest eyes pleading for her understanding. That bastard, he won't allow me to tell her anything, how am I going to..” Naveen looked up as he realized she was staring down at him, eyes furrowed, expecting an answer. Think Naveen..Think.. Naveens eyes landed on the book that was thrown at him, “The Frog Prince”. “That's it!” Naveen exclaimed “The Froge Pruto!!” Tiana tilted her head confused and followed his gaze to the book she’d thrown. “The Frog Prince? What does that have to..” Oh no. The frog can't be serious..Naveen had hopped down to the floor where the book had been and flipped to the page where the princess had kissed the frog thus turning him into a prince. “Yes..! Don't you see this is exactly the answer!! You.. must kiss me.” Naveen said with a smirk, using his freakishly long tongue to lick his face. Gagging, Tiana backed away visibly disgusted. “Uhm. no? Now why on earth would I do that? Look mista, I’m sorry that this is all happening but, I.DO.NOT.KISS.FROGS.” Tiana turned crossing her arms readying to leave. At this naveen rolled his eyes, This is the most difficult woman i've ever…”Now while I know in this..form, I may be… revolting, as a human I am uh what you would call..how you say.. Hot. But if my looks alone are not enough to please you then perhaps maybe a reward like… money may be suitable eh?” Tiana stopped, glanced down at her restaurant photo and back at the slimy amphibian. “Just..one kiss..?” The frog nodded or attempted too as he hopped into her hands. Taking a deep breath,Tiana raised the frog to her lips,closed her eyes, and pecked the frog on the lips.
