Oh Wow! Eight reviews on the prologue? Wow! Thanks you guys! :D Okay so here's the thing, "The Swan Princess" movie is no longer on youtube anymore. The second and third movies are but not the first. However, there are hundreds of videos of the musical numbers on there and I was able to find a script online, plus Zinka17 was kind enough to give me a link for the whole movie, however the website is currently undergoing repairs so it ain't working right now. But with the script and music videos and a recent SP parody that I recently read, I got pretty much the whole movie more or less memorized without actually watching it. I just wanted to make this known now just in case I don't get every single scene exactly like the movie so forgive me for that. Anyway it's time to reply to the reviews!
Aralyn187: Thank you once again for help with the title. I really appreciate it. I like this movie too and look I updated! :D
Kastella: LOL Well here's more for you. :P
Zinka17: Thank you once again for the link. Shockshare is still down but I'm sure it will be back up soon. Hehehe well your wait is over, here's chapter one. :)
The Ghost-Cat-of-Arkansas: Glad I have your attention. No fear, I most definately am continuing.
Bumble Bee: Yay! I'm so glad you like it. :)
Chloe: Aw! Thank you. Don't worry I'll get Handy to try to fix your tv right away. He did the same thing to mine when I first brought him and a few other smurfs home.
Fan de Basil de Baker Street: I'm glad you think this is a lovely start. I know! Livy and Johan were sooo cute as babies. I kept smiling the whole time I was writing that scene. And yes Jean-Bob is the frog. Oh I hope I didn't offend you when I said Brainy was arrogant. I didn't mean it that way.
Guest: Thank you! :D
Okay so I do not own any of the smurfs, Johan or Peewit they all belong to Peyo.
The Swan Princess belongs to Nest productions
I only own Livy, Thomas and Jeffery.
Hope you guys enjoy!
Five years later
The Good King's Chamberlain, Lizardo-an odd looking man with blonde hair, and skin that had an almost greenish hue to it, wearing thick goggle like glasses that made his eyes look huge and, the oddest part about him of all, his almost frog-like looking face- stood up on the balcony attached to a tower located outside the kingdom anxiously keeping a sharp eye out for King Jeffery and Princess Livy who were due to be arriving any minute. Suddenly he spotted the two royals out in the distance arriving on horseback.
"Hehehe! Here they come! Hehe!" Lizardo chuckled with glee as he slid down the tower. He grabbed a trumpet and attempted to blow it but no sound would come out.
At that moment King Jeffery and Livy had arrived.
"My dear friend. Your looking well." King Jeffery greeted the king as he dismounted his horse.
"Same to you Jeffery."
Back up in the balcony, Lizardo was still battling with the trumpet. He sucked in a deep breath and blew really hard but only managed to inflate himself like a balloon. But finally he managed to blow the trumpet dislodging a bird nest with a bird that was inside in the process. The nest flew flew the air and then landed on the King's head, causing Lizardo to gasp and duck down to try to hide himself.
"Oh, a nest." The King chuckled good naturedly. The bird however did not find this amusing and in a huff snatched up the nest and flew off.
"And who might this strapping young man be?" King Jeffery asked as he spotted a scowling six year old Johan standing behind the king. "Young Prince Johan, no doubt."
"Welcome to our fair kingdom." The King greeted as he bowed to his friend causing Johan to roll his eyes, wishing he could be anywhere else but here. "And to you young Princess." the King greeted as Jeffery pulled his nervous five year old daughter off of her horse, Brownie.
Livy glanced up at her father, unsure of what to do. Jeffery just smiled softly and gently pushed her forward.
"Go on Johan." The King chuckled as he tried to push Johan towards Livy, but the little prince wouldn't budge. "Dear go on..." he said a little bit more sternly.
"Father!" Johan whisper yelled.
"Johan!" the King hissed.
The two monarchs pushed their children together until they were standing in front of each other. Johan scowled while Livy just stood with her hands behind her back, still a little unsure of what to do.
"Hello Princess Livy. I'm very pleased to meet you." Johan mumbled refusing to make eye contact with the girl.
"Pleased to meet you Prince Johan." Livy replied curtsiying. Seeing his chance Johan turned on his heel and made a mad dash to escape, but was stopped by the King.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah!" The King tutted. Johan rolled his eyes and turned around as he stomped back to Livy. Once he got to her, he grabbed her hand in his and looked at it with disgust. Livy scrunched up her face and scowled deciding that she did not like the prince.
Johan closed his eyes and reluctantly placed a kiss on her hand. "Yuck!" he exclaimed as he pulled away and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
Johan: I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box
Livy was not anymore happy than he was. She wiped her hand on her dress and then made a fist at Johan, startling the prince a little bit.
Livy: He looks conceited
Johan: What a total bummer
Livy and Johan: If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox
Johan: So happy you could come
Livy: So happy to be here
Livy and Johan: How I'd like to run
Livy: This is not my idea
Johan: This isn't my idea
Livy and Johan: Of fun
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .
As you can tell, the kids got off to a wrong start. Later that day the two were "playing" with wooden swords, as they ran down the stairs. Livy tripped Johan and he fell down on his back onto the floor. Before he had a chance to get back up, Livy jumped on top of him and tried to pummel him to a pulp.
The King: The children seem to get along quite nicely
King Jeffery: We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks
The King: My dear King Jeffery that's my 'point' precisley
At this line, the king playfully poked King Jeffery in the chest with a mathmaticel compass. By now the four royals had wandered outside to the garden. Livy and Johan were sneaking around a pillar looking for each other. Livy snuck up behind Johan and 'stabbed' him with her wooden sword.
King Jeffery: Such good parenting
The King: And politics
So happy we agree
King Jeffery: I think we got a deal
The King: Johan's quite a catch
King Jeffery: This is my idea
The King: This is my idea
Both: Of a match
At that moment, the children ran over still trying to kill each other. King Jeffery grabbed Johan and the Good King grabbed Livy and the two had to hold them back.
"And such fun." The King gave a nervous chuckle the two kings struggled to keep ahold of the sqaubling children.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .
Fast forward a few years and now the prince and princess are twelve and eleven respectivley.
King Jeffery: Good heavens child! Don't dawdle.
We can't keep Johan waiting
He sang as he stood looking up at his stubborn daughter who was currently standing in front of her bedroom window, refusing to leave her room for today they were leaving to go to Johan's kingdom. Livy sighed and rolled her eyes as she turned to her father.
Livy: I haven't packed or washed my hair
And Father I get seasick
Over at Johan's kingdom, the Good king opened his sons bedroom door just in time to see him shoot an arrow where it landed in a crudely badly drawn picture of Livy that was taped to the wall.
The King: They soon will be arriving
Is that respect your showing?
Johan grabbed another arrow and shot it at the picture before he responded.
Johan: You make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick
. . . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .
Later that evening, the ship had arrived and King Jeffery walked down the plank and greeted his old friend.
King Jeffery: One day prince Johan
Will be her intended
The King: Splendid!
While the two fathers were conversing, (or should I say singing?) they failed to notice that Livy was still on the ship refusing to come down. She turned her head slightly just in time to see a tomato fly towards her and hit the side of the ship, squirting juice all on the side of her face. She turned her head and glared at the snickering Johan and his friend Peewit, taking notice of the sling shot that the shorter blonde boy held in his hand.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Johan:We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her
"Hey fella's wait up!" Livy called as she slid down the long staircase banister after the two boys.
"Quick! Put on some speed!" Peewit said as he and Johan jumped off the stairs and then ran outside to the tree house. They hurried up the ladder and just as Livy got there they quickly pulled up the rope ladder, leaving her stuck on the ground.
Johan: When picking teams
Peewit: Or friends
Johan: I never choose her
Peewit: You'd think she'd take a hint and learn to read
At this line Peewit pulled out a sign that said in big bold letters, 'No Girls Allowed!'
Livy: This really isn't fair
Johan and Peewit: We really couldn't care
Livy: Boys it's all or none
Frustrated and miserable, Livy kicked a wooden beam that was leaning against the tree house, not realizing that it was actually a support beam. Suddenly the whole tree house came crashing down on her, injuring all three children in the process.
Not much longer after that a very sore, bandaged, and bruised Livy and an exasperated King Jeffery sat off for home.
Livy: This is not my idea
Johan and Peewit: This isn't our idea
Livy, Johan and Peewit: Of fun
The Good King waved goodbye to his guests but then whipped around giving the mother of all death glares to the equally sore, bandaged and bruised boys. Both tried to make a run for it but smacked into each other causing them more pain.
As the King and Princess rode out of the kingdom, the villagers, hard at work began to pick up on the song.
Townspeople: Long before they met
Livy and Johan
Were destined to be wedded
Apparently the maids and servants had the same idea to, but since they worked in the castle they knew first hand that the young heirs were none to excited about their future marriage.
Maids: However anyone can see
Male Servants: The only point on which
They didn't disagree
Maids: Was that that very thought of summertime
All: Was dreaded
. . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .. .
Once again we fast forward to yet another summer and Livy and Johan are now fifteen and sixteen. King Jeffery was currently trying to pull Livy out of the carriage while the Good King was about to lose his patience trying to coax Johan down from a tree.
Johan: She tries to talk me into playing dress up
She's always flirting with the castle guards
Johan glared from the doorway as he watched Livy tell a funny joke to one of the guards. Johan's scowl deepened as the princess and guard burst out laughing.
Peewit, who was with Johan smirked and nudged his friend in the side
Peewit: I think you really
Sorta like her
Fess up
Johan: I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards
Speaking of playing cards, that's exactly what they did later that afternoon. Peewit stood behind Livy and peeked at her cards and gestured to Johan what cards she had.
The prince smirked as he laid down his cards
Johan: Four sevens and a ten
Livy: I think I won again
Johan and Peewit's eye's bugged out as they saw that indeed the girl had won...again.
Johan and Peewit: Every time she's won!
Livy smirked at Johan and rested her chin on her crossed fingers.
Livy: This is my idea
Johan and Peewit: This isn't my idea
All: Of fun
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Not long after that, it was time to for Livy to go home, much to her and Johan's relief. However they had to endure one more task together, riding through town in the royal carriage. Livy mostly just tried her best to ignore Johan and instead smiled and waved at the happy townspeople. However she felt Johan doing bunny ears behind her back and she quickly whipped around and gave him a death glare. It took every fiber of her being NOT to choke the irritating prince who was twiddling his thumbs and whistling innocently.
Once again the oblivious townspeople continued to sing of the day when the two heirs would finally be wedded.
Townspeople: We need a royal wedding
Women: I'd love to be invited
Men: At least we'd get a holiday
To rest our plows and axes
Once the carriages arrived at the dock, King Jeffery helped Livy out of the carriage and then waved goodbye to the King who was sitting in his own carriage with Johan.
Women: Someday these two will marry
Suddenly a tomato flew out from nowhere and hit the side of the carriage, splattering Johan with tomato juice.
Men: Two lands will be united
Johan turned his head just in time to see Livy follow her father up the boat, tossing aside what looked Like a squashed tomato. He glared at her back, being able to feel her smirk even though he didn't see her face. He had to admit though, the girl had good aim.
All: And with some luck
There marriage may
Result in lower taxes
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It was winter time and snow was falling outside but King Jeffery didn't pay any attention to that for he was frantically writing a letter to the King. He was beginning to worry that the plan would not work. He knew that Johan and Livy didn't get along, but he and the King just chalked it up to children being children. They thought that the two would grow out of it, but every summer it seemed that their hatred for each other grew. Livy and Johan were on the verge of adulthood now. What would they do if they refused the marriage?
King Jeffery wrote out a letter to his friend asking, "What if Livy doesn't go for the merger?"
It wasn't to long after that that he received a reply. Only two words written in all capital letters and underlined: "URGE HER!"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It was a few months later and the beginning of summer was just around the corner. Livy and Johan were in there own rooms in their own castles in their own kingdoms, he sitting in a chair with his legs dangling over the arm reading a book, and she writing at her desk.
At the same time there was a knock on both of their doors. Each got up from their seats and went to answer but as soon as they saw their fathers, they quickly tried to shut the door for they knew what was coming. It was time yet again to prepare for the yearly summer trip.
After struggling against their fathers to close the door, they succeeded and each had closed the door locking their father out. Both of them leaned against the door in dispair.
Livy and Johan: For as long as I remember
We've been told we'd
Someday wed
Livy and Johan left the door and went over and looked at the calendars on their wall
Livy and Johan: Every June until September
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
It was the final summer. Livy was now eighteen and Johan nineteen. This was the kings last chance for their plan to work, and just like every year, the prince and princess fought them tooth and nail every step of the way.
The Good King struggled as he pulled Johan to the ballroom where he and Livy were supposed to meet. But of coarse Johan was struggling and trying to get away.
Johan: All their pushing and annoying hints
King Jeffery wasn't having any better luck than his friend. Livy wouldn't even get out of the carriage. Finally it took both Jeffery and Thomas-The Good King's royal musician conductor and Johan's counselor- to pry her out of the carriage and then literally carry her inside.
Livy: I got bruises with their fingerprints
The King shoved Johan into the ballroom and then quickly shut the door, locking the prince inside. Johan stubbornly crossed his arms and turned his back to the other door on the opposite side of the room where Livy would come through any second.
Johan: I can do much better I am sure
Right on cue, Thomas and Jeffery shoved Livy in through the other door. The princess did the same as the prince and faced away from him crossing her arms as well.
Livy: He's so immature!
The two heirs stood with their backs to each other for a good few minutes. Furious to spend yet another summer together. Johan was the first one to crack and turned back to look at her. Livy feeling his presence move behind her, turned to look, a smart remark on the tip of her tongue but once their eyes fell on each other something changed.
Standing before her was a handsome young man with hair as black as a raven's wing and chocolate brown eyes. A smile pulled at his lips and Livy felt her heart rate go through the roof. Where was the irritating, immature, spoiled little brat that she had come to hate? This man standing before her couldn't possibly be him...could it?
Livy: I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
I see inside him and my doubts are gone
Johan was having second thoughts and feelings as well. This beautiful, sparkling emerald green eyed, long haired brunette of a woman with her curves in all the right places couldn't possibly be the same annoying, sarcastic, stubborn freckle faced little girl he had spent every summer with...right?
Johan: She started out as such an ugly duckling
Then somehow suddenly became a swan
"It's working! It's actually working!" The Good King whispered excitably as he and Jeffery spied on their children through yet another door, noticing how the two were looking at each other.
"SHH!" Jeffery hissed placing a hand over the older man's mouth as they both peered in. Livy and Johan were still smiling at each other. She curtsied and he bowed then he took her hands in his and they just stood there looking at each other.
Livy: So happy to be here
Johan: Till now I never knew
Both: It is you I've been dreaming of
Johan: This is my idea
Livy: This is my idea
The King and King Jeffery: What a good idea
It's such a charming
And romantic notion
The two kings sang as they burst into the room. Suddenly all the maids and servants rushed into the room singing as they set up instruments, candles, flowers, even a buffet table.
Maids: This is my idea
Male servants: This is my idea
Maids: Such a good idea
Male servants: Such a good idea
All: What a good idea
Such a powerful
And magic potion
This is exactly my idea
Of love
In that short few minutes the ballroom had been set up for a party, but Livy and Johan were oblivious to this for they were too busy gazing into each others eyes as they danced. The whole world disappeared and it was only just the two of them.
Livy: This is my idea
Johan: This is my idea
Both: This is my idea of
The two stopped dancing and leaned in until they felt their lips press against each other. Both their hearts beating erratically in their chests.
All: Love
Finally the need for oxygen forced the two new lovers apart. Johan took her hand and then turned to the crowd. "Arrange the marriage!"
Everyone cheered and applauded as Thomas struck up the band.
"Wait!" Livy said causing the crowd to gasp and the celebration to come to a halt. One musician being so shocked that he strung his violin bow like an arrow. The bow went flying, just barely missing the King's head by inches, while a kitchen servant tossed a chicken causing it to fall on another servant's head.
"What?" Johan asked confused. "Your all I ever wanted...Your beautiful!"
"Thank you...But what else?" Livy asked.
"What else?"
"Is beauty all that matters to you?"
King Jeffery coughed loudly and shook his head no, sensing disaster fast approaching. Livy glared at her father but then turned her attention back to Johan.
"Uh...um..." Johan stuttered trying to figure out what to say.
"Johan?" The King said "What else?"
"I...uh..." Johan could feel all eyes on him as he wracked his mind for a response. "What else is there?"
"EEEE!" Thomas made a buzzer noise and gave the thumbs down sign. Wrong answer.
The King let out a whimper and Jeffery facepalmed himself. Johan felt his stomach drop as he saw the hurt look on Livy's face. She scowled at him fighting back tears as she ran from the room.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"We tried Old friend. No one can say we didn't try." Jeffery said sadly latter that afternoon as he and Livy sat upon their horses preparing to head home. The Good King didn't say anything but fought back sobs. There plan had failed and in the process Livy got her heart broken. Johan leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and his head looking down feeling awful for what he had said. How could he be so stupid?
Jeffery sighed before turning to his daughter. "Say goodbye Livy."
"Goodbye." Livy said quietly looking straight ahead.
"Goodbye...?" Jeffery probed.
"Prince Johan." she sighed.
When there was no response, the king nudged his sons side.
"Father."
"Johan!"
Johan sighed before finally looking at the girl. "Goodbye princess."
Without another word, Jeffery and Livy were off. The horses hooves clip-clopping on the cobblestone bridge. Livy looked back at Johan but when he saw her looking he turned his head away from her ashamed. However she misunderstood it as him just not wanting to look at her and she frowned and looked ahead. Johan looked back and watched her form disappear into the distance, barely hearing his father's bellowing as he entered the castle.
"All of these years of planning...WASTED!"
Me: A-a-a-and end scene! Hahaha. So yeah Johan is in the doghouse
(scene shows Johan literally in a doghouse)
Johan: Very funny (sarcasm)
Me: So let this be a lesson to all my guy readers out there, when a woman asks you if beauty is all that matters to you, NEVER reply "What else is there?" NEVER!
On a random note, when I was watching the music scene for "This is my idea" I laugh whenever Uberta says, "The children seem to get along quite nicely" while Derek and Odette are trying to strangle each other in the background. XD
Just another random funny note that I thought you all would find ironically funny. In the "Adventures" saga, Jeff is actually what I like to call "A shotgun Daddy" which means he's the type of father that if you hurt his little girl in anyway, shape or form, he WILL come after you with a shotgun and shoot. He also has banned Livy from dating until she is at least eighty years old. I just found it funny that that's his personality but in this story he's pushing her into marriage. :P
So in the song, underlined was Livy and Johan singing aloud but italics was their thoughts. Only Livy and Johan have underlined lyrics because everyone else who sang sang aloud, but Livy and Johan kept switching between thoughts and words so that's why I did that.
But yeah, that's all for now, please leave a review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Bye!
