AUTHORS NOTE: Alllll rightyyyy so, everyone please please please don't kill me. This is complete and utter CRACK! OK the pairing is just kinda the characters who happened to fit the characters in Princess and the Frog. That's all. Just thought this would be a fun little thing to do. Just enjoy it and comment. That's all for now next chapter will be up soon promise.
The Beginning:
(Woman Sings)
Evening star is shining bright,
So make a wish and hold on tight,
There's magic in the air tonight,
And anything can happen.
Spain AKA Antonio:Just in that moment, the ugly little frog looked up with his sad, round eyes and pleaded: Oh, please, dear princess, Only a kiss from you can break this terrible spell, that was inflicted on me
by a wicked witch.
Chibitalia: (Whispers) Here comes my favorite part.
Antonio: And the beautiful princess was so moved by his desperate plea, that she stooped down, picked up the slippery creature, leaned forward, raised him to her lips, and kissed that little frog. Than the frog was transformed into a handsome prince. They were married and lived happily ever after. The end. (Says just as he finishes the dress that he was working on for Chibitalia)
Chibitalia: (shouts) Yay! Read it again, read it again! (he falls back)
Antonio: Sorry Chibitalia, it's time for us to be headin' home. Say good night, Holy Rome.
Holy Roman Empire: (disgusted by the frog kiss) There is no way, in this whole wide world … I would ever, ever, ever I mean never kiss a frog. Yuck!
Chibitalia: Is that so? Here comes your prince charming, Rome. (Puts a frog looking head on her cat that she was holding.) Come on, kiss. (He pushes the cat towards Holy Rome)
Holy Rome: (Laughing) No!
Chibitalia:Yes, Yes!
Holy Rome: Stop it! I won't, I won't, I won't!
Chibitalia:I would do it. I would kiss a frog. I would kiss a hundred frogs, if I could marry a prince and be a princess.
Antonio: You girls, stop tormentin' that poor little kitty. Poor little thing.
(Daddy Rome Enters the room, and picks up Chibitalia)
Daddy Rome: Evenin' Antonio!
Chibitalia: Daddy, Daddy, look at my new dress. Isn't it pretty?
Daddy Rome: Hah, hah, look at you. Why, I'd expect nothin' less from the finest seamstress in New Orleans.
Chibitalia: Uuh, I want that one! (He says as he points at a dress and starts to pull on Daddy Rome's face)
Daddy Rome: Oh, no sugar come on.
Chibitalia: (He tugs more on Daddy Rome's face) I want that one. Please, please, please, please!
Daddy Rome: Antonio. You suppose you can whip something up like that?
Antonio: (Laughs) Anything for my best customer.
Chibitalia: Yay!
Antonio: Come along, Holy Rome. Your Daddy should be home from work by now.
Daddy Rome: (Talking to Chibitalia) Aah, now princess, you getting' that dress but that's it. No more Mr. Pushover. Now who wants a puppy?
Chibitalia: I do! I do! (Daddy Rome pulls out a puppy) He's so cute!
[Going to Holy Rome's home, He's cooking food and Belgium who likes to be called Daddy, walks in.]
Belgium: Mmm, gumbo smells good Holy Rome.
Holy Rome: I think it's done, Daddy. (Says as he is finishing up some gumbo)
Belgium: Yeah. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Absolutely positive?
Holy Rome: Yes!
Belgium: Okay, I'm about to put this spoon in my…(Goes to put the spoon in her mouth)
Holy Rome: (Takes it back) Wait! (Pours some Tabasco in the gumbo pot) Done. (Belgium tastes it and makes a face Holy Rome looks worried) What?
Belgium: Well, sweetheart … This is the... The best gumbo I've ever tasted. Come here. Antonio, our little boy's got a gift.
Antonio: I coulda have told you that.
Belgium: A gift this special just gotta be shared.
Holy Rome:(Opens the outside door) Hey everybody I made gumbo.
Everybody: Uuuh, that's smells good
(Goes to Holy Rome Getting ready to go to bed)
Belgium: You know the thing about good food? It brings folks together from all walks of life. It warms them right up and it
puts little smiles on their faces. And when I open up my own restaurant, I tell you, people are gonna line up for miles around just to get a taste of my food.
Holy Rome: Our food!
Belgium: That's right, baby. Our food.
Holy Rome: (see's a shooting star) Hey, look.
Belgium: Where're you goin'?
Holy Rome: Chibitalia's fairy tale book said, if you make a wish on evening star should come true.
Antonio: Hmmh, won't you wish on that star, sweetheart?
Belgium: Yes, you wish and you dream with all your little heart. But you remember dear child, that old star can only take you part of a way.
You got to help him with some hard work of your own.
Holy Rome: And then...
Belgium: Yeah you can do anything you set you mind to. Just promise me one thing? That you'll never, ever lose sight of what is really important.
Holy Rome: Okay?
Belgium: See you in the morning, baby cakes. Get some sleep.
Holy Rome: Please, please, please. (Says as he looks out the window. Then he realizes there is a frog beside him, it croaks and he screams)
[A few years later. Germany(AKA HOLY ROME Aka Ludwig) walks through the door to his room. Yawns, stretches. His hair is all disheveled]
Ludwig: Aaaaaaah! Well Mr. Ludwig, rough night for tips but every little penny counts. (He says as he adds money to a stash he has been keeping for a while) Don't you worry, Daddy...We'll be there soon. (He lays down on his bed and as soon as he does his alarm goes off.)Goodnight Cal's, good morning Duke's.
[Music chimes in]
In the South Land
there's a city
Way down on the river
Where the women are very pretty
And all the men deliver
They got music it's always playin'
Start in the day time
go all through the night
when you hear that music playin'
Hear what I'm saying and make it feel alright
Grab somebody, come on down
Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town
Oh there's some sweetness going around
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and mase
Make it happen, make it real, say
If anything you want is lose what you have
Down here in New Orleans
Hey partner,
don't be shy
Come on down here and give us a try
You wanna do some livin' before you die
Do it down in New Orleans
Stalee homes and mansions
Of the sugar darns and cotton candy
Rich people, old people, all got dreams ...
Dreams do come true in New Orleans.
[As the song plays through it shows Ludwig working hard. While England AKA Arthur is conning people and getting money. It also shows France AKA Francis who has just arrived in New Orleans and Austria AKA Roderich following behind Francis, he trips while trying to keep up. Then we see Italy AKA Feliciano getting excited over Francis' arrival.]
Cook: Order up! (rings a bell)
Man: Another coffee here, chere'. (says a man holding out a cup to Ludwig)
Ludwig: Comin' right up, Virgil.
Friend's Of Ludwig: Hey, Ludwig.
Ludwig: Morning, George.
Frank: Hi, how are you doin' Ludwig?
Ludwig: Hey y'all! (Handing out plates and things to customers, while he talks)
George: We all goin' out dancin' tonight. Care to join us?
Frank: Yeah, c'mon, Ludwig, you could use a little hand. It's Mardi Gras.
Ludwig: No, I got two left feet. Besides I'm gonna…(he askes a little girl with a dirty face as hands her a napkin) You need a napkin, sweetheart? I'm gonna work a double shift tonight… Here's your hot cakes. (he says to another customer) You know, so I...
George: You can save for your restaurant. I know, I know. Boy! All you ever do is work!
Cook: Order up!
Ludwig: Maybe next time.(He says a little down but continues working anyways)
George:I told y'all she wouldn't come.
Cook: Are you talkin' 'bout that dang restaurant again?
Ludwig: Buford, your eggs are burnin'.
Cook: You ain't never gonna get enough for the down payment.
Ludwig: I'm gettin' close.
Cook: Yeah. How close?
Ludwig: Where my flapjacks?
Cook: Hah, hah! You got about as much chance of gettin' that restaurant as I do of winnin' the Kentucky Derby.(Exclaims) Saddle me up, y'all its post time!
Ludwig: Mornin', Mr. La Rome.
Daddy Rome: Good mornin', Ludwig.
Ludwig: Congratulations on bein' voted king of the Mardi Gras parade.
Daddy Rome: Caught me completely by surprise... for the fifth year in a row. (He laughs) Now, how about I celebrate with...
Ludwig: Beignets? Got me a fresh batch just waitin' for you.
Daddy Rome: Well, keep 'em comin' 'til I pass out.
Feliciano: (Bursts through the door) Oh Ludi! Ludi, Ludi, Ludi!
Ludwig: Feliciano?
Feliciano: (Is freaking out) Did you get the news? Tell him, oh tell hhim Daddy Rome. (Screaming with joy)
Daddy Rome: Oh, yeah. Prince Francis... (He starts but is cut off)
Feliciano: Prince Francis of Maldonia is coming to New Orleans. Isn't it the bee's knees? Tell her what you did, Big Daddy. Tell her! (Shakes Daddy Rome violently)
Daddy Rome: Well, I invited …(Tries saying but is once again interrupted)
Feli: Daddy invited the prince to a masquerade ball tonight! Tell her what else you did Daddy Rome. Go on. (Daddy Rome isn't sure if he can get a word in but he trys anyway)
Daddy Rome: And he stayin...
Feli: And he stayin... (He chimes in again but this time Daddy Rome shoves a Beignet into Feli's mouth)
Daddy Rome:(He finally gets to say) And he stayin our house as my personal guest. (He exhales)
Ludwig: Oh, Feli, that's swell. A little worthy advice: My Mom always said that the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Feli: That's it. (Snatches the Beignet from Daddy's hand)
Daddy Rome: What just happened?
Feli: Oh, Ludi, you are Bonafide genius. I'm gonna need about five hundred of your man-catching beignets for my ball tonight. Excuse me Daddy. (Snatches money from Daddy's wallet) Will this many cover it? (Says as he shoves the money into Ludwig's hands)
Ludwig: (Smiles wide) Well? This should cover it just fine, Feli. This is it! I'm gettin' my restaurant.
Feli: Tonight my prince is finally coming. And I sure ain't letting him go! (Drags Daddy Rome out)
[Zoom in on A sign that shows the words Jones BROS. REALTY FOR SALE]
Ludwig: Everything looks peachy keen, Mr. Jones. And. .. Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones AKA America: We have all the paperwork ready to sign, for this thing at Mardi Gras.
Ludwig: I do you one better, why don't we sign tonight when I see you
all at the La Rome masquerade ball.
Mr. Jones AKA Canada: You drive a hard bargain, Ludwig.
Antonio: Table for one, please.
Ludwig: Oh, Mama. (Antonio who prefers to be called Mama)
Antonio: Here is a little something to… help you get started.
Ludwig: Daddy's gumbo pot.
Antonio: I know, I miss him too. Well now... Hurry up and open the door.
Ludwig: Just look at it, Mama. Doesn't just make you wanna cry?
Antonio: Yes.
Ludwig: The maturate is gonna be right where you're standing. And over here, a gourmette kitchen. And hang up from the ceiling a big, old crystal chandelier.
Antonio: You are your Daddy's son, all right. He used to go on and on about this old sugar mill too. Baby cakes, I'm sure, this place
is gonna be just wonderful. But it's a shame you're working so hard.
Ludwig: But how can I let it now when I'm so close. I got to make sure all that hard work means something.
Antonio: Ludwig! Your Daddy may not have gotten place you always wanted
but he had something better. He had love. And that's all I want
for you, sweetheart. To meet your and prince charming and dance out until y'all live happily ever after.
Ludwig: (Singing) I don't have time for dancing.
That's just gonna have to wait a while
Antonio: How long we're talkin' about here?
Ain't got time for messing around
And it's not my style
Antonio: I want some grandkids.
This whole town can slow you down
People taking the easy way
But I know exactly where I'm going
And getting closer, closer, every day
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy,
but I don't care
Trials and tribulations
I've had my share
There ain't nothing gonna stop me now
cause I'm almost there
I remember Daddy told me:
Fairytales can come true
You gotta make 'em happen
it all depends on you
So I work real hard each and every day
Now things for sure are going my way
Just doing what I do
Look out boys I'm coming through
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there
People gonna come here from everywhere
And I'm almost there,
I'm almost there
There's been tribes and tribulations
You know I've had my share
But I've climbed the mountain,
I've crossed the river
And I'm almost there,
I'm almost there
I'm almost there!
