Later, as it got darker, Atticus went to a hidden spot as Naveen had Tiana meet him so they could have some alone time together and he could pop the question to her. And where she would be in for a surprise when she would get to their spot.

"Where are you taking me?" Tiana asked Naveen as he was leading her someplace.

"I just wanted to show you a little something," Naveen replied as they got on top of the captain board. "To celebrate our last night as frogs."

Tiana smiled at him before she looked surprised at what was waiting for them. Atticus smiled as he stayed where he was hidden and kept his comments to himself so he wouldn't ruin their moment. There was a tiny bucket with a small champagne bottle and lavender flower. There was even a little table set up for them both and a candle stick.

"Oh, my... No one has ever done anything like this for me." Tiana smiled before she giggled as she saw Naveen wearing a black butterfly like a bowtie.

"It's a little too much, huh?" Naveen shrugged, then waved the butterfly off. "Thanks, Beau."

"Well, I thought it was a nice touch." the black butterfly snorted before flying away to leave the two star-crossed frogs alone.

"Yeah, not so much." Atticus whispered to himself.

"Pretend you didn't see that," Naveen said nervously before taking Tiana like a 'gentlefrog' to sit her down. "Please, please, sit down."

"What's this?" Tiana asked, getting comfortable and seeing a silver dish covered.

"Ta-da!" The Maldonian Prince lifted the top off to show all sorts of minced foods which had been prepared professionally.

"You minced!" Tiana smiled.

Atticus smiled proudly. "All by himself."

"I did!" Naveen set himself down. "You have had quite an influence on me, which is amazing, because I have dated thousands of women," he then stopped himself and tried to make this topic sound appropriate. "No! Like two or three, just other women... Anyway just listen... You're not much more different you know," he then set his hand down to get his engagement ring for Tiana. "You are practically one of the guys... No, no, no! You're not a guy, let me start again!" he then hid the walnut behind his back anxiously as the girl grew more suspicious and offended. He then slid against the table and fell downward. "I'm not myself tonight, Tiana, sorry that was loud... This is a disaster..."

Atticus winced and cringed at the results and even covered his eyes.

"No, it's cute." Tiana giggled.

Naveen chuckled back, then took out the shell. "Tiana, I-"

"There it is!" Tiana looked over and saw the sugar mill passing by them as they were closer back to her home.

"Keep going." Atticus whispered.

Tiana and Naveen then talked about the restaurant plans and Tiana mentioned that her father had died before he could see her dream come true of owning the sugar mill and making it into a hot spot for many hungry customers to come. Atticus could see that the two were now getting along.

"Can't you just picture it?" Tiana got excited. "All lit up like the Fourth of July."

"Yes, jazz pouring out every window!" Naveen added.

"It should be elegant."

"But you got to keep it loose, though. Got to let it swing."

"Couldn't agree more." Atticus whispered to himself.

Tiana then asked Naveen if he knew a good music player and agreed to let him play at her restaurant as live entertainment. The two had a deep talk until the port of New Orleans was ashore before Naveen could tell Tiana how he really felt about her.

"I'll go round-up the boys..." Naveen said with a smirk. He then took his walnut-shell and left to get Louis, Ray, and the others that came with them on this venture back home.

Tiana sighed as he left and buried her face in her hands. She felt like there was something more to that, but according to her heart and what she knew, she was only friends with Naveen and nothing more, at least she thought that. She then looked up at the evening and glowing star in the far distance.

"Evangeline," she spoke. "I've always been so sure about what I wanted, but now I... What do I do? Please tell me."

"Yes! She's in love with Naveen!" Atticus cheered quietly. "I've got to go tell him."

Unfortunately, the others didn't know that Naveen was being held hostage and tormented by Dr. Faciler's friends on the other side with Cherry. The two were then taken away into the darkness. Darla groaned as she held herself and looked a little sick.

"You look pale, I better get Atticus, you hang tight." Patch told the girl before rushing off.

Darla nodded, she then looked to her hand as he left and then gasped as it looked like it was being erased from existence. "Oh, no..." she gasped as she soon hid her erased hand.

In New Orleans, Charlotte was in a pink wedding dress and was in front of a small house and knocked on the door frantically. "Prince Naveen, darling," she called. "You better hurry up. Don't wanna be late for our Mardi Gras wedding."

"Umm... Getting dressed!" Lawrence called from behind the door. "Just a few more minutes, my dearest heart!" he was in his underwear, still in his natural form instead of Naveen's.

"Okay, honey lamb," Charlotte said back, about to leave. "We'll be waiting in the Packard. Daddy, start the car!" she then stormed off with impatience.

"Good heavens, I'm doomed!" Lawrence gasped before he winced in pain from being hit by one of Dr. Faciler's cards. "Ow!"

"No, Larry!" Dr. Faciler snapped. "I'm the one who's doomed unless we get that frog's blood in-"

They then felt the house shake. The two looked over suddenly. The fireplace was rumbling and the fire seemed to dance. The friends were coming as they had Naveen and Cherry held hostage.

"Let us go!" Cherry glared.

"We are back in business, friends!" Dr. Facilier laughed.

"Get your filthy hands off of me!" Naveen struggled, then saw his faithful servant in shock and betrayal. "Lawrence!"

"Oh, hold still, your Excellence." Lawrence grinned evilly as he took out an amulet to take Naveen's DNA.

'Are you gonna make us, you traitor?" Dr. Faciler glared back.

"Oh, do your worst, I dare you!" Cherry growled.

"What are you going to do to her?" Lawrence asked.

"I ought to teach you a lesson..." Dr. Faciler scowled at Cherry.

"I'd like to see you try," Cherry glared. "Atticus is my best friend and he's as strong as a god and is the nephew of King Sombra!"

"I know." Dr. Faciler said.

"So you can't hurt me!" Cherry glared.

"Oh, can't I?" Dr. Facilier taunted.

"Do your worst, I double dare you." Cherry narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, I will." Dr. Faciler said.

"Bring it on!" Cherry narrowed her eyes as they seemed to turn red as blood.

Lawrence started to get nervous. Dr. Facilier sneered as he was going to deal with the perky goth once and for all.

The boat stopped as it made it to New Orleans and it was time for Mardi Gras. Everyone was getting off the boat.

"Ray, have you seen Naveen?" Tiana asked the firefly.

Ray began to get excited as he thought Naveen had successfully proposed to her. "Look at you! Where's your ring?"

"What are you talking about?" Tiana glanced at him.

"Well, if Froggy Boy didn't say anything, I'm not gonna say anything, because old Ray's sealed up, tight as a drum," Ray replied in denial. "You're not getting anything out of me, no!"

"Ray?" Tiana smirked.

"Okay, Frog Dude ain't gonna marry Charlotte, he's gonna marry you!" Ray gave in. "Soon as he gets himself kissed, you're both gonna be human and he's gonna find a job to get you that restaurant," he then explained as Tiana smiled delightful that Naveen would do that for her. The firefly then covered his mouth. "I said too much, didn't I?"

"You said just enough, Ray!" Tiana smiled as she hugged him before looking up at Evangeline. "Thank you, Evangeline."

Ray and Tiana were then going off to find Naveen.

"I don't feel so good..." Darla looked white as a sheet and looked like she was going to fade away.

Patch and Atticus soon rushed over to her.

"Wow, Darla, you're really pale..." Atticus frowned.

"W-We have to hurry." Darla said.

Atticus carried Darla in his arms and climbed onto Patch's back. "Come on, boy, take us to the others and fast!"

"You got it!" Patch nodded as he then ran with them on his back as they passed by the people who were celebrating Mardi Gras.

Tiana was hopping around, looking for a particular parade float.

"Wait, froggy, stop!" Ray tried to catch up. "What are we looking for again?"

"You keep your eyes out for the biggest, gaudiest float with a Mardi Gras princess about to kiss herself a-" Tiana said, but then stopped as she saw the La Bouff float. Charlotte was in her wedding princess gown and Eli was in his king outfit. She gasped as she saw Naveen was human and in a groom's prince uniform. "Frog..." the girl then felt heartbroken and betrayed.

Darla started to feel even worse as they got closer.

"Hang in there, Darla..." Atticus said softly as he tried not to cry for his little sister.

Patch soon stopped as he saw something that none of them thought would be happening. Darla groaned as she looked incredibly sick.

"Darla!" Atticus begged. "Stay with me!"

"We have to stop this wedding." Patch said.

"Darla..." Atticus started to cry. "She won't answer me..."

Patch frowned as he saw as it looked like Darla was going to disappear from existence.

"I'm not giving up on her." Atticus said.

Patch looked inspired by Atticus's dedication and determination when it came to his little sister. Darla may had been adopted, but she was really good with the family as their own and the family felt the same way. Atticus soon flew up to the float and where he saw Ray going to the same place. He wiped his eyes as he flew up with his heart breaking with Darla's life being at stake. Luckily he still had his abilities even though he was stuck as a frog for now.

'I'm not going to lose my little sister.' Atticus thought to himself.

Tiana ran away to the cemetery as she couldn't believe that 'Naveen' was going to marry Charlotte.

Atticus continued to fly up to Naveen to stop him from marrying Charlotte. He then landed on the prince's shoulder. 'Naveen, what do you think you're doing?!" he whispered loudly into the prince's ear as the reverend did the service.

"Huh? Who said that?" Naveen asked with a different voice.

Atticus noticed something off about this Naveen. Naveen glared and then shoved the frog off of his shoulder. Atticus then hit the float floor and left a mark against it.

"LET ME OUT OF HERE AT ONCE!" Naveen's voice called from inside a box right behind Atticus.

"Wait, Naveen?" Atticus asked, confused as he looked inside the box.

Naveen was inside the box, still in his frog form. "Atticus, is that you?"

"Yes it's me, Naveen; how are you inside the box while out here with a different voice?" Atticus asked.

"That's not me, that's my servant Lawrence, he's changed into me somehow, I think that's why the Shadow Man took my blood when he told our fortunes!" Naveen replied.

"Do you know where Cherry is? She wasn't with us when we got off the boat." Atticus replied back while using his strength to get the locked box open.

"I thought I saw her earlier, but I'm not sure." Naveen stepped back so Atticus would have enough room to use his abilities to save him.

"We'll have to find her, she's my best friend, but not until after you stop this wedding." Atticus said as he used all of his strength and broke the lock, opening the box.

"I have to!" Naveen replied as he then leapt out once the box was open. And where he stopped Lawrence from kissing Charlotte which would seal the marriage.

"NOOO!" Dr. Faciler yelled out as he had a voodoo doll of Charlotte's father and was about to stab the heart with a pin. Something was moving around in his pocket. This was not good for him.

"That's for taking away my little sister and best friend..." Atticus snarled.

Darla started to feel better as the marriage had gotten interrupted. She seemed to be getting color back in her face, but not too much just yet. Patch stayed by her side and kept an eye on her for Atticus.

Atticus saw Lawrence going inside the church with Naveen in his hands and decided to follow after him.

"After him!" Naveen commanded.

Atticus nodded and went after Lawrence while Charlotte was obviously not happy. Patch soon caught Cherry's scent and saw that it was coming from Dr. Faciler.

"Let me go," Cherry glared to Dr. Faciler. "You might as well know this now, but the others and I are from the future and I once recall hearing 'And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit'... I'm sure your friends won't appreciate if I destroyed this thing..." she then took out the amulet.

"Try to smash it." Dr. Faciler smirked.

"Famous last words..." Cherry said, then lifted the amulet high. "Hi...YAH!" she then threw it down to crush it. But to her surprise, it didn't crash to the ground and where she got her answer why as Dr. Faciler's shadow had caught it in time.

Dr. Facilier laughed at her.

"Oh, clever, are we?" Cherry looked very irked right now.

Dr. Faciler soon got inside the church.

"Naveen! Prince Naveen!" Charlotte pounded on the doors alone. "Your shy and retiring bride-to-be is getting antsy!" she then gave up and slammed the doors open to see Lawrence turned in his true form, feeling terrifyingly nervous.

"Hello, darling." Lawrence turned with a nervous grin and wave.

Charlotte screamed as she saw the supposed man of her dreams was nothing more but an illusion. Lawrence screamed as well and ran off with tears feeling he'll never get what he wants.

"Huh? Where's Atticus and Dr. Faciler and Cherry?" Patch asked.

Charlotte looked down to see Patch coming with Naveen and Darla.

"Grandma!" Darla cried out.

"Grandma?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow, slightly offended, thinking Darla thought she was much older than she really was.

"Um, Charlotte, I think it's time you know more about us, but first; we have to find Naveen." Patch said.

"How old do you think I am, little lady?!" Charlotte glared at Darla.

"It's part of the explanation, but we'll need Naveen first." Patch replied.

"Over here!" Naveen's voice called out and where they saw where he was.

"Naveen!" Patch called out. "Come over here! I need to make sure Darla doesn't get sick!"

"Um, okay?" Naveen said, confused as he got into Charlotte's view.

"Now before you do anything, please let him speak." Patch said to Charlotte.

Charlotte looked startled to see the frog.

"Allow me to introduce myself," Naveen smiled to the blonde woman. "I am Prince Naveen-"

SLAM!

"Of Maldonia..." Naveen finished weakly after Charlotte had bashed him with a song book.

"Did you say 'prince'?" Charlotte gasped.

"Yep, he did." Patch nodded.

Before anything else, Darla and Patch explained why she called Charlotte 'Grandma' and Naveen then explained of why he needed her to kiss him. Tiana found that Lawrence was being put under arrest by Eli by a couple of cops.
