KINGDOM HEARTS 3.6 Part XI: The Princess, The Frog and The Doctor:

The title is meant to be a pun on the expression-"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Also, here is another theme song I would choose not by Utada Hikaru to star in the overall Kingdom Hearts franchise:

Hope by Namie Amuro from One Piece.

Now resuming the main story (at last :]):

It was a short while after leaving Kairi's birth World of Radiant Garden and exploring the universe in the Gummi Ship that eventually, it's crew found their way to the 1st destination they were heading towards, a World known by the following name as:

THE BAYOU.

Upon arrival, Kairi takes a look at her surroundings. "...Ugh, guys, I am one for adventure and everything but still, couldn't we have found a place more..."settling" as a term of expression to land in?" says Kairi, displaying her non fondness for the swamp like area. "Sorry Kairi but the Gummi Ship doesn't exactly get to pick and choose where to land..." says Donald in a somewhat genuine manner. Goofy replies "This place isn't for a girl so it's somewhat understandable..." says Goofy, trying to relate to Kairi on the subject.

Kairi then replies herself "...Oh well, it's like you said Donald, we can't pick and choose where to land. It's not to my personal liking...but if it means that we can move forward along then I will learn not to mind." says Kairi, resolving herself. Donald and Goofy then happily nod towards this as Kairi in return smiles before as she stated moves forward ahead. Suddenly however, they start to hear noise in the background.

"This is YOUR fault! if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be stuck like this!" says a Female sounding voice. Kairi says upon hearing this voice "Hey guys, do you hear that?" says Kairi. Again suddenly, another voice, this time Male sounding speaks up "MY fault? you weren't "my" Princess! I am the one who should be feeling sad right about now!" says the other voice. Kairi upon hearing the word "Princess" exclaims alongside both Donald and Goofy "A Princess!?" before then nodding her head towards the two, determined to find out further what this exactly meant.

They go to the source of the voice and to their shock find...two bickering frogs! one Female and one Male. The Female frog says to the Male frog "Ugh! I didn't ask for this to happen! all I just wanted was to open my own restaurant and now I'm stuck with a pompous rich boy like you!" says the Female frog. The Male frog "Why do I have to hear all of YOUR complaints!? if my parents didn't cut off my allowance, I wouldn't have to be stuck here, listening to you!" says the Male frog in reply. "What did you say!?" the Female frog and the Male frog start to bud heads with each other.

"...Talking...frogs...talking, frogs!?" Kairi loudly exclaims, catching the two frogs' attention. However, before they could react to Kairi, Donald and Goofy's presence. Swamp based Heartless then appear, threatening everyone as a whole. "AH!? NO! NOT THESE THINGS AGAIN!" the Male frog upon seeing the Heartless runs away in fear, however, the Female frog merely sighs at this and stands her ground, determined to fight back against the Heartless.

Upon seeing this for themselves, Kairi, Donald and Goofy agree to back the Female frog up with Kairi saying to her "Sorry for shouting out a minute ago, it's my fault these creeps appeared. My name is Kairi, please, let me help!" says Kairi, wanting to help. The Female frog is surprised to see that Kairi isn't truly bothered by her speaking before deciding to just go along with the flow and reply by saying the following "...I'm Tiana, we can talk after pushing these things back. Hey! Naveen! get over here! I need your help!" says the Female frog, revealing her name to be Tiana and the name of the Male frog to be Naveen. Naveen replies "...Nuh uh! no way! you won't be expecting me to help out with pest control!" says Naveen, however, Tiana is adamant.

"NAVEEN!" shouted out Tiana, Naveen then becomes more scared of her then of the Heartless and proceeds to reluctantly fight alongside her, Kairi, Donald and Goofy. Using her new "Lost Memories" Keyblade she received after talking with Namine back at Radiant Garden, Kairi combines it with both either her normal Destiny's Embrace Keyblade or Kingdom Key Keyblade to form a new "X of II" Keyblade fusion. Using a Formchange from the combined Keyblades, Kairi transforms her Keyblade into a Deck of Cards called "Elemental Sleights".

Kairi carries four Cards between each of her fingers, one with a different colour. Red signifies Fire, Light Blue signifies Water, Green signifies Aero and Dark Blue signifies Blizzard. By throwing a Card of one up to four at her enemies a time each, Kairi can cause an explosion of Elements based on the magical properties of the Cards in question. After throwing all of the Cards in the order which she drew them, Kairi can then restack them with new Cards-ones that have the same Elements as before or completely new ones like a Yellow coloured Card signifying Thunder for example.

However, because of the nature of redrawing, she will sometimes end up with only few Cards or no Cards at all which could decide the potential outcome of the fight in question. Nevertheless, Kairi is able to utilise the Elemental Sleights Formchange to her advantage, forcing back the Heartless for the time being. Afterwards, she and both Donald and Goofy then get properly acquainted with both Tiana and Naveen. "Phew...that was cutting it close. So...who are you folks anyways? judging from those strange powers, your not the locals of this Bayou...are you?" says Tiana, wanting to know more about the trio.

"I, well..." Kairi has trouble explaining herself due to having been told about the World order and why it must be kept a secret. Still, she tries to explain as best and as truthfully as she can by saying "...It's difficult to explain but those monsters we just fought are the reason we're here. We're here to stop them from causing trouble, they are called the Heartless and they go around hurting innocent people. We can't just stand by and let them do that, that's why we wield special magic to fight against them..." says Kairi, hoping that this is good enough to convince Tiana.

"Hmm...well, you helped us so I guess that certainly proves your words. ...alright! I'll trust you. You seem like good folk and like my daddy, I don't go discriminating people unless they give me good reason to." says Tiana, openly thanking Kairi and everyone for their help, making them feel genuinely glad. "Of course, that being said, you guys unlike a "certain prince" in question, seem trustworthy enough that you might be able to help us." says Tiana, apparently with a proposition in mind.

"Huh?" Kairi is confused by this before Naveen suddenly speaks up "Whoa! whoa! whoa! back up Tiana! you're not seriously thinking of asking these, these...these "peasants" to help us look for "her", are you!?" says Naveen, displaying his caution against the trio. Donald takes great insult from Naveen's words "What!? peasants!? why I'll show you-!?" before Donald could take action, Goofy comically stops him. Kairi wonders by what Naveen is talking about "Huh? "her"? is something wrong?" says Kairi.

Tiana sighs before explaining the situation whilst rubbing the back of her head "Sigh...okay, it's a bit of a long story but the truth is we aren't actually frogs. We're human." says Tiana, this greatly shocks Kairi, Donald and Goofy. Tiana further explains by stating "Because this idiot, spoiled rotten prince got swindled and tricked by a voodoo witch doctor, he was forced to become a frog. After that, he was apparently supposed to find a "Princess" in order to break his curse and unfortunately, he found me. When we thought that we broke the curse, instead, I ended up as a frog too and now we're stuck like this! thanks a lot Naveen!" says Tiana, displaying her contempt for her "partner in crime".

"Hey, it's your fault for falling for my irresistible charm, what can I say? I am just that good looking." says the narcissistic prince. Tiana then replies "Ugh! get a clue will you!? ...anyways, we're here in the Bayou looking for an old lady that can hopefully turn us back to normal. Unfortunately with those monsters lurking about, it won't be easy. That's why I was hoping you could help us out, of course, I'll pay yo-!?" just before Tiana could finish her sentence, Kairi raises her hand to stop her finishing.

"That's okay, we'll do it free of charge." says Kairi, shocking both Tiana and Naveen equally. "But!" Tiana doesn't want to feel like she is not paying Kairi and the others back, however, they clarify "We don't need money, just knowing that we can get you both safe and sound through this ordeal will be enough, right guys?" says Kairi. Goofy says the words "Of course! in fact, we don't want to get paid! just knowing we can help is more then enough." says Goofy. However, Donald comically replies saying to both Kairi and Goofy "Speak for yourself." says Donald, known for his greediness that he shares with his Uncle Scrooge.

"Oh please! like you "aren't" expecting something in return! in this World, it's always give something and then give in return. Or, in this unfortunate situation that I myself am in-give and then just take altogether." says Naveen, showing his distrust towards the "good Samaritans". Tiana tells him off, saying "Knock it off Naveen! not everyone is like you and solely cares about money! ...but, are you sure about this? I know he's stupid but he's not exactly wrong. Are you guys truly after something in this World?" says Tiana, upon thinking about it further questions Kairi on the matter.

Kairi then replies "Well...it's kind of true that we are here for a reason and hopefully we'll find out what it is but if it helps, we don't mean you any harm, nor are we here for malicious intents. Please believe us on this, we will understand otherwise but again, we don't mean you any harm..." says Kairi, wondering if Tiana will trust the trio or not. After a slight stare off between the two, Tiana could tell after looking into Kairi's eyes that she was most definitely not the type to lie. "Okay, I believe you." says Tiana.

This shocks Naveen "Wha!? Tiana!?" says Naveen. Tiana replies "The girl can't do Jazz if she don't know how to sing and dance and from seeing Kairi, I can tell you Naveen that she can do both." says Tiana, using Jazz as a term of expression to show her trust in Kairi. "Tiana..." Kairi becomes truly grateful by Tiana's words before she states "Now, any objections o prince?" says Tiana, asking for Naveen's opinion on this matter.

Naveen, knowing that he cannot win against Tiana, sighs and agrees to allow Kairi, Donald and Goofy accompany them "Sigh...okay, okay. Just remember, the prince always goes first ahead of everyone and in times of crisis, everyone goes first ahead of the prince." says Naveen, displaying his cowardliness. "Oh goodie..." says Donald sarcastically. Tiana lastly states "Right then y'all, let's get going, this Bayou ain't going to explore itself you know!" says Tiana, leading the group as Kairi, Donald and Goofy further nod whilst Naveen merely continues to sigh about everything.

Meanwhile however, the evil voodoo witch doctor who turned Naveen into a frog in the first place, Doctor Facilier is seen shockingly being approached by a man in a Black Coat. The "good doctor" replies "It's as you said, friend. I send your creatures and vermin pop up in the woodworks." says the doctor. The hooded individual replies "Just be careful not to underestimate them, they are "special" after all." says the person in the Black Coat. However, the doctor merely replies "Don't worry, I'll make sure everything goes swimmingly. After all, I have my "friends"..." says the doctor before the background scene turns completely black, showcasing an ominous feeling behind the scenes.

(I haven't seen The Princess and the Frog in it's entirety so I hope I was able to more or less recreate the personalities of the Characters, please tell me if not).
