Author's Note:
This is a response to one-hundred one-shot/drabble challenge posted on the forums.
A drabble is a short-story consisting of exactly 100 words.
I have chosen Parvati and Padma Patil as my main characters.
Patil Limited Presents:
One-Hundred Adventures
Frog

"STOP IT!" The eight-year-old shrieked when the boy pulled her long, black plait. A sickening pop and sizzle echoed off the water.
"You turned him into a frog!" Screamed her twin.
The offender swung around with trembling, watery eyes, "A f-frog?" She covered her red face with her little hands at the sight. The beginning of a wail was bubbling up in her throat.
Her sister ran to her side, "Don't cry, Parvati." Padma took a moment to contemplate the dazed amphibian at her sister's feet before scooping him up. He gasped in an attempt to croak and Parvati peeked through her fingers at him.
Padma scrunched up her round face in thought, "Do you remember the story about the frog prince?"
"Yes," Parvati sniffed.
Padma held up the animal, "We can break the spell just like in the story. All you have to do is kiss him!"
"Ribbit," the frog pleaded with bulging eyes, his mottled skin was glistening in the morning sunlight.
Parvati shut her eyes and pressed her mouth against the slimy creature.

2010/06/26: Frog is now a one-shot because I rewrote some parts and made it a little longer.
