Both frogs were up early when they realized the gators had gone. Alejandro was the one who said they should make a raft. "The river goes past the town. It should take us back, and then we can find help."

"Fine," Heather said, her sarcasm dripping from that one word, "But when I come up with an idea that's actually plausible, we do that instead."

Alejandro had resolved not to lose his temper with Heather again, but she was going to make it hard. Much as he hated to lose face, he knew he wouldn't be able to resist baiting her a few times. But, as he reminded himself, now wasn't the time. They had to start getting themselves back to town-

"LOOK OUT!"

Alejandro snapped out of it at Heather's scream. It would have been too late when she saw the alligator coming, but...

"They were right! Talking frogs!"

Neither former human could believe it. The alligator wasn't going straight for them. He was just staring, as if they were the most exotic things he'd ever seen.

"I've never been able to speak to a frog before." the alligator continued. "Most of them can't talk. They just sit there and stare. But I heard you talking."

Heather found her voice. "Most frogs can't talk? Weird. Well, now you've heard us talk, so can you let us go?"

"Heather, don't be so cold." Alejandro reprimanded her, not forgetting to be courteous in the presence of this predator. "Well, you see, we are not regular frogs. We accidentally got mixed up with voodoo spirits, and turned into-"

"Voodoo?" the alligator interrupted. "Like Moonchild Dawn can do?"

"Who?" both frogs asked together.

"Dawn lives on the other side of the bayou. She's a witch doctor." the alligator explained. "Well, it's not just her. She has the magic, but she isn't a communicator. So Leshawna does the communication for her." His voice went all soft when he said the second name. "It's just...I can't talk to them. Humans don't understand me."

Heather's eyes lit up. She had a good idea, and she wasn't going to let this opportunity pass. "Well, we're hoping to become human." she said. "Humans can understand us. So..."

The alligator grinned. "You'd talk to them for me? That would be a dream come true! Thing is, I really want to become human for my own reasons."

Alejandro caught on. "We don't know our way around the bayou, though, but you obviously do." he said. "So if you take us there, we'll talk to them for you."

The alligator nodded enthusiastically. Then he grinned. "By the way, I'm Harold."

The two frogs introduced themselves (well, Alejandro introduced both of them). Again, he made it clear that he was a prince, then added "And this is Heather. She's a...waitress." Then he added in a whisper "Just one word of advice, amigo. Do not ever try to kiss her."

Heather overheard, and glared. "Excuse me, but you practically begged me to kiss you! Anyway, I think you're the one with lips that deserve a warning."

"So, shall we go?" Harold asked uneasily. The fire in Heather's eyes made him nervous, even though he could probably send her flying with a flick of his claws or cut her in two with his jaws.

"Yeah, whatever." Heather said, shooting another glare at Alejandro, but letting the subject go.

Harold was the only sincere one of the group. He was genuinely happy to help out the two frogs, and was very friendly to both of them. However, he chatted away about weird, random facts, that annoyed the two frogs.

Alejandro kept his composure. He needed to be sure Harold would get them to the witch doctor, and in that case, he needed to stay on the alligator's good side. He didn't seem like the type to turn on them, but he wasn't going to take any chances.

Heather was another story. She made it clear Harold was boring her, by rolling her eyes and sighing frequently. To her credit, she didn't tell him to shut up, but most people would have gotten the message. But Harold was oblivious to her annoyance.

While they travelled, the trio talked about what they wanted to do when they were human. Harold didn't fit in with the other alligators, he explained. He was a smart person, but the other gators pushed him around all the time. He was a joke to them, getting no respect. Among humans, he felt, he'd be able to use his intelligence and his "mad skills" in a few areas to impress people and get the respect he deserved.

Alejandro still hadn't made any clear plans for his future, but he admitted that his plan was to get back his finances, either by working or marrying a rich woman – preferably the latter.

"That was part of the reason I was meant to go to that ball." he admitted. "I was going to see if there was anything between me and the hostess."

"You're a prince." Heather said snarkily. "There's already something. Lindsay's desperate to be a princess."

As for Heather, she admitted "I'm actually planning to do something worthwhile, like take over the world. Okay, so far I'm just trying to set up my own bakery, but once that's running, it'll mean money, and that'll lead to power."

Alejandro snickered quietly at her grandiose plans, but this time, she didn't notice. She was completely focused on one thing – getting back to being a human again.

But for just a moment, she wondered what was going on back home. Who was that man who was with Lindsay at the ball? He'd certainly looked like the picture in the newspaper. And how was Lindsay herself doing? Heather didn't really care about her friend, but she had a feeling, deep down, that she might be important to the solution. She didn't know why she felt that, but her instincts told her that Lindsay would be involved.

And so she will be. Sorry the chapters are so short – this isn't an easy adaptation to do. Oh, and let me take this moment to promote "PAINT" or Jon Cozart on YouTube. He's done two Disney parody songs called "After Ever After", showing what happens to Disney princesses after the happy ending, eg: Belle being done for beastiality, Elsa taking over the world to protect it from global warming, Mulan deciding to have a sex change after pretending to be a man...seriously, it's dark, but it's really really funny – my personal favourite is probably the Pocahontas one in the first video, even though it's so sad.
