A/N: Hi guys, it's me again! I know, all of you are expecting me to finish "Happiness"….. which, I will, but I wanted to start up this story before I concluded it. Anyways, everyone knows the story of "The Frog Prince," but here's a fun (and much more dramatic) FFVII version of it! It's a Yuffientine story I'm not a hardcore fan, but I do think they'd make a cute couple. And they work well for this story. So enjoy my remake!

Disclaimer: As always, I own nothing, because Yuffie stole it from me

Chapter One: The Frog Prince

-The prince whose fate was changed the moment he too was changed-

Once upon a time, in a faraway place lived a handsome prince, who fell helplessly in love with a beautiful princess from a neighboring kingdom. However, there was also another man who desired the princess's hand; he too was a prince, but he was a long way from prince-like. He was very ugly, not only physically, but his persona was very nasty. He knew that the princess fancied the much more handsome one; he feared that his chances of him being together with her wee slim. Knowing the evils of black magic, he cast a curse upon his rival, and turned him into a frog! The poor prince tried to approach his beloved in this form, but upon seeing the frog she became disgusted, ordering to have him removed immediately. He didn't even have a chance to reveal himself! The evil prince had the frog prince sent off to a foreign land, across the ocean, to avoid a second attempt to contact the princess. When the little frog came to, he leaped around from place to place, trying to find a suitable place to live. After his fiasco with the princess, life among humans seemed out of the question, and the swamps were unbearable, however, he eventually found a quiet well. Lonely and highly depressed, the frog lived there, expecting to live the rest of his life hopping about in the water.

Little did he know….. this was one of the many places that the princess of this land loved to conduct her adventures in.

The area the frog prince resided was a serene place, lightly covered by the shade of the blossoming peach tress surrounding it, various types of flora and fauna decorating the pathways; however it was abnormally quiet. He did not mind though, as he felt this fitting to his disheartened state. Living day in and day out in this silence, it was surprising when a melody broke through. It was a familiar tune, however it was hard to recognize because the one humming it was clearly off pitch, off key… just off. He jumped into the fountain hoping to drown the sound out, not alas, no luck. Either a frog's hearing was very good, or she was just obnoxiously loud.

The visitor happened to be the heiress to the Wutai kingdom, Yuffie Kisaragi, who cherished this spot more than any location in the land. While still humming the song along, she tossed a gold materia from hand to hand, sitting on the edge of the spring. She seemed to get lost in thought about something, and still tossing around the golden orb, accidentally threw it higher than expected, resulting in it falling into the well. When the frog saw the sparkling sphere fall from above, he noticed the off tune singer had stopped. Curiously, he peered over the surface to see, the princess crying miserably at her misfortune. He leapt to the edge, to study the girl. She was definitely of royal blood judging by her clothes and little golden crown that sat on her head, but her looks were not of the usual idea of a princess. Her raven hair was quite short, her figure very petite, more than usual, he almost nailed her appearance as rather average looking. He debated whether or not he should speak to her, but she looked so grieved, that he could only wonder why.

"Excuse me," he began, "May I ask why you are weeping?" Here when, the crying Yuffie wiped her face and turned to him, is where he found something princess worthy. Her eyes were doe like in shape and color, her face very innocent looking…. until she gave him a stunned expression.

"A….A Touch Me? I thought those frogs were green, this one's black!" she exclaimed, scooting herself a little farther from the creature.

"…………I asked you a question."

The dark haired princess blinked twice before further shouting "Eh-My-Gawd, it's talking to me!" while pointing at him. The little frog just sat there with a blank face. Yuffie wasn't sure if perhaps it was dangerous, after all, she found its eyes a rather frightening shade of red, and it didn't help that its body was the color of an ominous night sky. But, maybe, just maybe, it would be kind enough to get her precious materia from the depths of the fountain?

Thinking how useless this conversation had come to be, the frog turned to return to the water, however, the princess began to sob quite violently.

"My golden materia," she wailed, "my precious materia has fallen into the well! It was my mother's and now it's gone, lost forever in a pit of water. I would give anything, everything I had to get it back, my clothes, my jewelry, even my crown!" The frog took this in consideration, and thought to himself; perhaps maybe he would not have to live a lonely and depressing life, since the princess offered anything to him. After all, the only happiness in his world was taken away from him the moment happiness rejected him.

"I do not care for your clothes, or jewelry, or even your crown. All I ask is that you be a companion to me, stay by my side, and share your life with me." The princess blinked twice at his request, and took some time to think about it; which, didn't last very long, because Yuffie already wasn't going to heed any of the things she said anyway.

"Yeah, yeah, just get my materia." She answered with a hint of impatience in her voice.

"….Do you promise?"

"On my honor, I, Yuffie Kisaragi the first and best, high princess of Wutai, give you my word." With that said, the frog dived into the well to retrieve her treasure. After a few seconds of him being in there, Yuffie shuffled to a smaller peach tree and plucked a small branch off. "As if! I, Yuffie Kisaragi the first and best, high princess of Wutai, would ever associated myself with a puny, slimy thing." She mumbled to herself. "What's with this frog anyway, he should just find a girl froggy to play in the mud with. The nerve!" Yuffie sat back in the spot she had been at, and waited for the frog's return. Within a moment, the black frog reappeared, with her promised valuable in his mouth. He released it, and it went rolling towards the girl's feet. Satisfied, the young princess scooped up the gold materia, and the branch still in hand, swatted the unsuspecting frog back into the spring. "SUCKER!" she gleefully teased, blowing a raspberry; then hoisted her dress and began running away.

The small frog prince, however, recovered rather quickly, and began to call out to the princess, who was cackling away and paying no heed to him, growing more distant as she was very quick on her feet. Normally, an event like this would have put him into another series of depression; however, he would not let humiliation get the best of him now. Especially, not from the likes of her.

The princess finally reached her carriage, where a guard was waiting, taking a bit of a smoke break. Her disordered state surprised him and even the golden chocobos that were tied to the coach. He quickly put out his cigarette, and Yuffie, put one hand on the cart to catch her breath.

"What the rush? It looks like the 'White Rose of Wutai' got all trampled on, yo."

"Reno," Yuffie gasped, glancing the other way, and then back to the wild red-head, "We gotta go, NOW…. I mean step on it." She quickly got into the carriage, and slammed the door behind her. Her royal guard, however, scratched the back of his neck, and turned to look to see what she could be running from. There seemed to be nothing behind her, well he thought if he squinted hard enough, he could make out a frog….

"Reno!!!!"

"Whatever you say, princess."

It had been days since the incident at the fountain, Princess Yuffie had long forgotten about it. However, the frog made his way up to the royal palace, sneaking about till he found the dining hall, where the royal family was currently partaking in their evening meal.

He finally reached the door, and hesitated for a moment, until he could hear the princess's voice ringing in his head….

"SUCKER!"

That in itself was enough motivation to call out to her.

"Princess! Princess Yuffie!"

The voice was small, and almost inaudible from the royal dining table. But, it was heard.

"Yuffie, is someone calling you?" the King of Wutai, Godo Kisaragi questioned, straining his ears.

"Hmm?" The princess stopped eating for a moment to also take a listen.

"Princess Yuffie! Princess!" Someone had indeed been calling after her. She rose to answer the door, which happened to be quite a distance from the table actually, slowly opening it up. She looked to the left, and shifted her gaze to the right, finding no one in plain sight.

"I swear, those servant boys!" Yuffie huffed, turning on her heels, "I'll show them to mess with the Empress of Pranks."

"Down here, princess." The short haired maiden then turned her attention to the floor, her round chocolate eyes meeting that of…. Crimson. They widened in horror at the recognition of the charcoal colored creature. He sat there again with another blank expression. Time seemed to freeze, and Yuffie felt her heart do the same.

But that didn't stop the heiress of Wutai from slamming the door on his froggy little face.

Oh, poor little Vinnie-froggy! Yuffie's one heartless princess! No worries though, she'll warm up…eventually… I didn't use his name, cause I want to introduce him properly to the Yuffsters before that. Makes me wanna draw up some cute fanart! Well anyway, please feel free to let me know what you think!!!!
