Freddie pov: As I led Barkis into the deeper parts of the woods I saw my friends waiting for us so they could have Barkis.
"They sure do want his soul." I thought with a smirk, soon we stopped in a clearing. "Where is she? You were lying weren't you?" Barkis asked me, he got mad.
"I knew a little brat like you would lie! I shouldn't have listened to you!" Barkis shouted, now I got mad at him. "I think it's time to shut him up." I muttered.

[Freddie]
Don't you disrespect me, little man
Don't you derogate or deride
You're in my world, not your world
And I got friends on the other side
(She's got friends on the other side)
That's an echo gentlemen
Just a little something we have here in Louisiana
A little parlor trick, don't worry
Sit down at my table
Put your minds at ease
If you relax it will enable me to do
Anything I please
I can read your future
I can change it 'round some too
I'll look deep into your heart and soul
You do have a soul, don't you Barkis?
Make your wildest dreams come true
I got voodoo, I got hoodoo
I got things I ain't even tried
And I got friends on the other side
(She's got friends on the other side)
The cards, the cards, the cards will tell
The past, the present and the future as well
The cards, the cards, just take three
Take a little trip into your future with me
(Ooh, ooh)
Now you, young man are from across the sea
You come two long lines of royalty
I'm a royal myself, on my father's side
Your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low
You need to marry a little honey
Whose daddy got dough
Mom and Dad cut you off, huh playboy?
Now ya'll gotta get hitched but hitchin'
Ties you down
You just wanna be free, hop from place to place
But freedom takes green
It's the green, it's the green
It's the green you need
And when I looked into your future
It's the green that I seen
On you little man, I don't wanna waste much time
You been pushed 'round all your life
You been pushed 'round by your mother
And your sister and your brother
And if you was married you'd be
Pushed 'round by your wife
But in your future the you I see
Is exactly the man you always wanted to be
Shake my hand, c'mon boys
Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand
Yes...
Are you ready?
(Are you ready?)
Are you ready?
Transformation Central
(Transformation Central)
Reformation Central
(Reformation Central)
Can you feel it?
You're changing, you're changing
You're changing all right
I hope you're satisfied
But if you ain't, don't blame me
You can blame my friends on the other side
Ha, ha, ha
(You got what you wanted)
(But you lost what you had)
(Ohh...Hush!)
By the end of the song Barkis was gone and in his place was a grave marker with his face on it. "Nice work my friends and with that our deal is done." I told the shadows, they left.
Third Person pov: By the time Nico had caught up to Freddie and Barkis, he stayed hidden and saw the true powers of voodoo magic at work. "Yikes!" Nico thought.
"Freddie!" Nico called out, she turned to face him. "I take it you saw everything?" Freddie asked him. "Yeah, I did." Nico answered, they stood in silence before Freddie broke it.
"Look, I get it if your scared of me now and want to end our relationship." Freddie said sadly, Nico was shocked that she'd say that. "I don't want that!" Nico shouted in shock.
Freddie was startled by the outburst. "But you just saw what I can do with my shadow magic." Freddie pointed out. "So? That's no reason to end our relationship." Nico retorted.
The two stared at each other before bursting out in laughter, they laughed until tears came down. "You really want to be with me? Shadow magic and all?" Freddie asked Nico.
"Of course! I love you!" Nico replied with a loving smile, Freddie gave him the same smile and they kissed for a bit. "We should head back." Freddie suggested, Nico agreed.
Once the two got back to the church Freddie announced that Barkis Bittern would never hurt anymore women again, everyone cheered and Victoria hugged Freddie then thanked her.
"What did you do anyway?" Victor asked Freddie, she smiled. "I just asked my friends on the other side for some help." Freddie replied, she and Nico laughed at that.
Nico pov: Emily and Victor told us that the wedding reception would be happening up here instead of down in the Land of the Dead and with that music started to play.
Just then Bonejangles and the band played a familiar tune that Freddie and I knew. "Freddie, will you please sing?" Emily asked her. "Anything for you." Freddie responded.
I smiled and we danced as the song got louder and louder, then Freddie started to sing. [Play Down in New Orleans (Finale) from the Princess and the Frog]
[Freddie]
In the Southland 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 daytime, go all through the night
And when you hear that music playin'
Hear what I'm sayin'
Make you feel all right
Grab somebody, come on down
Bring your paintbrush, we're paintin' the town
There's some sweetness goin' around
Dreams do come true in New Orleans!
When Freddie stopped singing, everyone cheered for her and we that Victoria and Bonejangles were now close. "Looks like they're getting along." I told Freddie, she agreed with me.
Soon it was time for Emily to throw her bouquet and when she did, both Freddie and Victoria caught it which meant they would be the next brides soon.
"I guess we're next to be married." Victoria said with a smile. "I guess so." Freddie replied with a smile, they laughed in happiness at that thought.
As the party went on Freddie and I stayed by each other as we started glowing. "Time to head home." I told Freddie sadly, she sighed softly but complied.
"Yeah." Freddie responded sadly, we said goodbye to our friends and vanished from the church right into school's library. "Let's check the story." Freddie told me.
We got our copies of 'Corpse Bride' and read them cover to cover. "It worked! We changed the story!" I said with a smiled. "We really did!" Freddie replied.
Freddie and I rejoiced in happiness since we changed the story and everyone got their happily ever after, we both went to our own rooms and fell asleep.
Tomorrow is Family Day and I was gonna introduce my family to Freddie so that I can tell them that I love her. "I know they'll accept her!" I thought as I fell into dream land.
Alright! I've got one more chapter to do for this story, I don't own either songs in this chapter! Please review and no flames!
I also changed some words around in the song Friends on the Other Side.
