Freddie pov: Today has been the worst day of my life since I had a run with not only Chad but also Nico the son of Tiana and Naveen.
"That Chad thinks he's so cool just cause he's a prince! Ugh!" I thought in anger, I quickly went to my room and did my home work so I could get it done. "I need to read." I muttered.
Since I was in my own dorm room and didn't have a roommate to bug me I got things done fast. "Now for that book." I thought with a smile, I got out the story of Corpse Bride.
Ever since I found this book in my Dad's shop on the Isle of the Lost, I've been wanting to read it because I was curious about the story of one the main characters named Emily.
"I feel bad for Emily since the man she thought she loved killed her." I whispered sadly, somehow I know how Emily feels since this is similar to what happened with my parents.
Soon I was done with the story so I set the down on my bed then went to eat supper. "I wish I could help Emily." I thought as I got my food, just as I sat down someone sat beside me.
"My I sit with you?" Nico asked me, I rolled my eyes at him. "Can't you leave me alone?" I asked him. "I wanted to apologize for Chad's behavior." Nico replied to me, that caught me off guard.
"Why're you apologizing?" I asked Nico, this must be a trap. "Because I didn't stop Chad when I should have." Nico answered. "I don't blame you okay." I told Nico, he smiled at me and I smiled back.
Once we were both done eating I went to my room while Nico went to talk to Ben. "It's still a trap." I thought sadly, in truth I don't blame Nico if he hates me because of what my Dad tried to do.
When I got back to my room I looked up at the stars and smiled at them. "I feel better looking at the stars." I whispered. [Play Down in New Orleans (Prologue) from Princess and the Frog]
[Freddie]
The evening star
Is shining bright
So make a wish
And hold on tight
There's magic in
The air tonight
And anything
Could happen.
I stopped singing and looked at the book on my bed then lied down on my bed and made a wish. "I wish I could help Emily." I whispered, as I closed my eyes I didn't see myself vanish from my own bed room.
Third Person pov: When Freddie woke up she saw that she was in someone's bed. "Uh...what happened?" Freddie asked out loud. "I'm glad that you're alright." A soft voice replied, Freddie turned to the voice.
Standing next to the bed was a tall skinny man who was dressed in suit and had perfectly combed hair with some bangs sticking out. "I'm fine thank you but um...may I ask who you are?" Freddie asked him.
"My n-name i-is Victor Van Dort and you are?" Victor asked Freddie, she smiled a soft smile. "I'm Freddie Facilier. Nice to meet you." Freddie replied, Victor calmed down and they got to talking until they heard voices.
[Mrs. Van Dort]
It's a beautiful day
[Mr. Van Dort]
It's rather nice day
[Mrs. Van Dort]
A day for a glorious wedding
[Mr. Van Dort]
A rehearsal my dear, to be perfectly clear
[Mrs. Van Dort]
A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
[Mr. Van Dort]
Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know
[Mrs. Van Dort]
That nothing unexpected interferes with the show
They started to dance around the carriage and make the signs vanish from sight before singing again. "You're parents sure are excited aren't they?" Freddie asked Victor, he replied with a sigh at his parents.
[Both]
And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
According to plan
Our son will be married
According to plan
Our family carried
Elevated to the heights of society
To the costume balls
In the hallowed halls
Rubbing elbows with the finest
Having crumpets with Her Highness
We'll be there, we'll be seen
Having tea with the queen
We'll forget everything
That we've ever, every been
"Victor! Come or else we'll be late and bring your friend!" Mrs. Van Dort yelled out, Victor and Freddie then ran downstairs and outside then into the carriage so they could leave for the rehearsal to be on time.
Across the way none of the Van Dorts had noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Everglot had been watching them during the song and dance with looks of disgust on their faces which only got worse when they saw Freddie.
[Mrs. Everglot]
It's a terrible day
[Mr. Everglot]
Now don't be that way
[Mrs. Everglot]
It's a terrible day for wedding
[Mr. Everglot]
It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in
[Mrs. Everglot]
That's led to this ominous wedding
[Both]
How could our family have come to this?
To marry off our daughter to the nouveau riche
They're so common
So coarse
Oh it couldn't be worse
Mr. Everglot sighed the twirled his way over to the safe that was hidden behind a painting, he then opened it then showed his that it was empty and dusty as he shook his head at her.
[Mr. Everglot]
Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree
They could be land-rich, bankrupt aristocracy
Without a penny to their name
Just like you, and me
"Oh dear." Mrs. Everglot said shaking her heard in as well, the maid cleaned out the safe before the butler put the painting back over it.
[Both]
And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
According to plan
Our daughter will wed
According to plan
Our family led
From depths of deepest poverty
The not so happy couple stopped in front of a painting of their daughter Victoria who despite what her parents may say, Victoria is a beautiful young lady.
To the noble realm
Of our ancestry
And who'd have guessed in a million years
That our daughter with a face
On an otter in disgrace
Would provide our ticket to a rightful place
After talking to Victoria a bit Mr. and Mrs. Everglot went back to the main corridor and stood at the top of the stairs waiting for the Van Dorts to come so they could start the wedding rehearsal with Pastor Galswells.
[Mrs. Everglot]
Marriage is a partnership
A little tit for tat
You'd think a lifetime watching us
Might have taught her that
Might have taught her that
[The Everglot's and Van Dort's]
Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect perfect
That's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
According to plan!
Mrs. Van Dort fixed Victor's suit as Mr. Van Dort rang the door bell but the door opened up while Mrs. Van Dort was fixing Victor. "Mrs. Van Dort! We have an audience!" Freddie whispered to her, she turned and chuckled.
Victor pov: I'm so thankful that my new friend Freddie was able to stop my mother in time after we were announced the four of us came in. "This'll be interesting." Freddie whispered sarcastically, I nearly laughed.
"It could be worse." I whispered to her, we saw that my parents were trying to make a good impression on Mr. and Mrs. Everglot. "Can't see how." Freddie whispered in reply, the four adults left the room to have tea.
Once they were gone I saw a piano so I went over and started to play it. "Wish I had my guitar." Freddie murmured softly, while I played I hadn't noticed that my playing attracted Victoria's attention until I saw her.
I was so startled that jumped out of the chair and knocked it down. "Do forgive me." I said to her, I picked up the chair. "Mother won't let me near the piano, to inappropriate for a young lady." Victoria replied.
'How could playing the piano be inappropriate?" Freddie asked her. "To passionate, she says." Victoria answered, Freddie scoffed at the idea. "That's impossible." Freddie muttered, I talked to Victoria for a little bit.
But we were caught by Mrs. Everglot. "What is this? You shouldn't be alone together!" Mrs. Everglot shouted. "They weren't alone since I'm here." Freddie reminded her, we all then went to start the rehearsal.
Three hours later and I was still having trouble with vows just as we got to the candle part a Lord Barkis came in after he was announced, when I looked at Freddie, I saw that she had a look of anger on her face.
"It must because of Lord Barkis." I thought, just then Pastor Galwells hit my head gaining everyone's attention. "Pick it up at the candle bit." Pastor Galswells told me, I almost had it but failed so we tried the ring.
But because of the disaster I caused I fled the Everglot manor and ran to the bridge outside of town with Freddie right behind me soon we stopped. "Victor, I know you can do this." Freddie told me, I smiled at her.
"I'm glad someone believes in me." I replied to her, just then we heard the town crier tell everyone the new so we walked away. "Let's find a spot you can practice." Freddie said to me, we walked farther into the woods.
