//------------------------------// // Meeting Naveen // Story: Applejack: The Daughter of the Frog // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Nighttime rolled in and we see Tiana in a princess costume and Applejack in a cat costume. Wonder why? Because tonight was the night the Mari Gras party at the mansion everyone was having a good time except for Tiana. And the reason why is because Tiana learns she has been outbid for the mill; and she becomes despondent. When Applejack noticed the sad look on her face she wanted to know what's wrong. "Are you okay?" Applejack asked. "Physically yes but emotionally no. I've been outbid for the mill and therefore I won't be able to open up my dream. And Applejack? Im sorry to say but I think you might not have the life you want. I know you were excited and I should have told you sooner but I didn't know how." Tiana worried. "You didn't disappoint me. Although I'm sorry you won't have your dream restaurant I'm happy to not be on the streets alone again. So I say you did a good job letting me stay and taking me in." Applejack smiled. Tiana smiled knowing Applejack was right. But still was disappointed that her dream was not coming true. Then she saw a bright star in the sky. Then realized something when she and Charlotte were kids. If her friend wished for the prince to come then what's to say that Tiana couldn't do the same? She couldn't believe she was doing this. So she closed her eyes and quietly wished on the star in hoping that there was some way she can still open her dream restaurant. But when she opened then the two saw a frog on the porch. Tiana got a little annoyed knowing that isn't funny. "Very funny." Tiana said. "So what now? I reckon you want a kiss or something?" Applejack asked the frog. The frog stood silent but then spoke! "Kissing would be nice yes?" The two girls freaked out and crashed straight into Charlotte's toy shelf. He was startled from their reactions and tried calming them down. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." The frog said However Tiana was still freaking out as she threw some toys at him. Applejack however quickly realized that this frog wasn't something to be scared about. Of course it was still creepy that it can talk. The frog had enough and needed to get Tiana to stop. "Ok please! Put the monkey down!!" The frog said. Tiana was about to throw it but Applejack took it and calmed her down. She then placed it back and walked over to the frog for answers. "Who are you?" Applejack asked. "Ok allow be to introduce myself. I am Prince Naveen. And you are?" The frog said. "Well I'm Applejack. And this is Tiana." She introduced. "Your a prince? But I didn't wish for any..." Tiana said. But then she realized that if he was the prince then who was dancing with Charlotte on the floor? "You don't look like a prince. Even if you are what happened to you?" Applejack wondered. "And if you ARE the prince then who was waltzing with Charlotte on the dance floor?" Tiana asked. "Look ladies all I know is one minute I was a prince charming and handsome but then the next minute I'm tripping over this frog feet." Naveen explained. "I can certainly tell. How did you get turned into one?" Applejack asked. "Long story. But.....wait a minute. I know this story! That book you have!" Naveen smiled. "The Frog Prince?" Tiana answered. "Yes! My mother had her servants read this to me every night! Yes yes yes! That's the answer!! You must kiss me." Naveen explained. "Excuse me?" Tiana asked. "Hold on. You want Tiana to kiss you?! That's disgusting!" Applejack shouted. "Ladies. Ladies. I know you think that's weird but she must kiss me. Look besides being extremely handsome I also happened to come from a wealthy family. So surely I can offer you somekind of reward." Naveen offered. Then Tiana looked at the very poster she had when she was little. She did dream of having her own restaurant and if Naveen was telling her the truth then she had no reason to decline. She sighed she faced him. "Just one kiss?" Tiana asked. "Just one and that's all. Unless you beg for more." Naveen answered. "Don't push it." Applejack said. Still believing that Tiana is a princess, Naveen waited for her answer to kiss him to break Facilier's spell. Tiana reluctantly agrees after Naveen promises to finance her restaurant. However, because Tiana is not a princess, she is transformed into a frog as well. And when he and Applejack saw her they were in shock. Tiana screamed and was panicking. "Easy princess! Please calm yourself down!" Naveen said. "What did you do to me?! I'm green and slimy!!" Tiana freaked. "No no no. That is not slime. Your covered in mucus." Naveen reasoned. But that didn't make Tiana feel any better as she growled and pouted on the shelf. Applejack witnessed the whole thing and needed to revert them back to normal. "Ok please calm down. Look Naveen I know you said that this kiss was supposed to work but I think Tiana isn't really a princess. But you are cursed and we need to get you two back to normal. Although I have a bad feeling that I know someone that has dark magic. Someone that might be the same guy who caused my real parents to go bankrupt." Applejack worried. "Funny you mentioned that. Cause I met a fellow not too long ago. But he had a bunch of dark voodoo stuff he used. Like a witch doctor." Naveen realized. "Hold that thought. If this witch doctor used dark magic to make you a frog and accidentally turned Tiana into one as well then we need someone who can do light voodoo magic to undo this curse." Applejack suggested. "You might be right but where are you gonna find a person who can do light voodoo magic in New Orleans?" Tiana asked. "I honestly don't know. But it can't hurt to try and look. I'm taking you two frogs with me. You helped me out by getting me off the streets so it's my turn to return the favor." Applejack smiled. Tiana smiled and Naveen watched their bond get stronger. So Applejack had the frogs on her shoulder and the trio headed off to find a way to reverse the curse and return both of them to normal.
