"We're so glad we found you, Mama Odie," Tiana spoke up. "Ray and Louis here have been telling us all about you. We've been traveling quite a long way and you can't imagine what we been through and we..." she then shuddered as she walked by a jar with blinking eyes and a pair of teeth. "And we heard that you-"

"Juju!" Mama Odie called out for her snake.

The green scaled and pink-eyed snake slithered over.

"It's okay, he doesn't have fangs." Cherry told the others as they seemed nervous of the snake.

"Come on over here, you bad boy." Mama Odie cackled to her snake.

"That's a relief." Darla sighed.

Mama Odie then appeared to be smothering her snake which made everyone cringe in slight disgust.

"Yuck." Atticus winced.

"You love old Odie, don't ya?" Mama Odie smiled to Juju. "Oh, good to see you again, Ray-Ray," she then said to the firefly as she used her snake as a cane. "How's your grandmama?"

"She's fine," Ray replied. "Got in a little trouble for flashing the neighbors again."

"Again?" Darla asked.

Ray chuckled innocently while Atticus looked sheepish.

"Cherry, I can't believe you're here." Atticus said to his best friend.

"And I can't belong you're a frog." Cherry picked him up in her hands.

"It's because of the dark voodoo magic." Atticus said.

"You kids want some candy?" Mama Odie held out her hand and the contents were a stone, pebbles, lint, a house key, but only one piece of candy and a moth.

The others declined in slight disgust.

"Now, that's too bad," Mama Odie replied and took the piece of candy for herself. "It's a special candy. Would've turned y'all frogs human." she then replied as she swallowed the candy.

"What?!" Darla asked out of shock.

Mama Odie then laughed. "I'm just messing with y'all."

"How on Earth did you know we wanted to be turned back-" Tiana asked, but then saw the old woman instantly asleep.

"It happens sometimes," Cherry told the others. "She's an old woman after all."

"True." Atticus nodded.

"Erm... Mama Odie?" Naveen tried to wake the woman up.

"Juju!" Mama Odie then suddenly rushed to a tub. "Why didn't you tell me my gumbo was burning?"

"You sure this is her?" Darla asked Ray.

"The same blind voodoo lady who lives in a boat in a tree in the bayou?" Louis added in.

"Pretty sure." Ray shrugged.

"That's comforting." Atticus sighed.

Tiana, Naveen, and Darla hopped over to Mama Odie as she focused on her cooking.

"Can't believe this," Mama Odie grumbled. "Got to do everything around here."

"Um, Mama Odie, if we could just have a minute of your time." Darla said.

"Taste this!" Mama Odie then shoved her spoon in one of their mouths while Cherry backed away from it due to her last time having some of the gumbo.

"Hmm." Darla hummed as she tried it.

"Well?" Mama Odie asked.

Darla smacked her lips. "I'm no chef, but I would try a couple of shots of Tabasco."

"Juju!" Mama Odie called out.

Juju came by the woman's side and dipped a Tabasco bottle into the gumbo mix a couple of times.

"That should do it." Darla said.

"That's got some zing into it!" Mama Odie smiled before looking to the frogs. "That's just what I needed! Now, did y'all figure out what you need?"

"It's just like you said, Mama Odie," Tiana replied. "We need to be human."

"You don't got the sense y'all were born with," Mama Odie scoffed. "You want to be human, but you're blind with what you need!"

"That doesn't make any sense." Darla said.

"What we want, what we need..." Naveen agreed. "Isn't that the same thing?"

Mama Odie whacked him on the head with her spoon. "Isn't that the same thing? No!" she then walked aside with a laugh before singing. "You listen to your mama, now."

"I have a feeling there's going to be some singing coming up." Darla said.

And in fact there was as Mama Odie sang while showing off her magical skills. Cherry actually liked the beat and clapped along to it as Mama Odie and her friends sang about digging a little deeper.

'This song is pretty catchy.' Atticus thought to himself.

Darla even began to sing along. Mama Odie then told Naveen how he didn't need money to make him happy. And where she soon showed him what he really needed.


"Miss Froggy?" Mama Odie went to Tiana as she was dancing.

"Ma'am?" Tiana replied.

"Might I have a word?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"You're a hard one, that's what I heard." Mama Odie then took Tiana over to the side to give her a turn.

"I wonder what she's going to show Tiana." Darla whispered.

"Hopefully something good." Atticus replied.

Tiana seemed to understand what was going on for now.

"Well Miss Froggy, do you understand what you need now, child?" Mama Odie asked as the song ended.

"Yes I do, Mama Odie," Tiana replied. "I need to dig a little deeper and work even harder to get my restaurant."

This made everybody groan and face-palm her.

"Alright you guys," Ray said next to the green snake. "One more time! It don't matter what you look like!~ It don't... Nobody's gonna sing with Ray... Okay."

"So can you help us be turned back human?" Darla asked Mama Odie.

"There is only one way." Mama Odie said as she led the way.

The others followed her to her 'pot'.


"Gumbo, gumbo, in the pot," Mama Odie chanted as she stirred her delicious brew. "We need a princess, what you go?"

The broth stirred and shined to an image of Charlotte sleeping in her bedroom.

"What the?" Atticus asked, confused.

"Lottie?" Tiana asked. "But she's not a princess!"

"Hush up and look at the gumbo!" Mama Odie scolded.

There was a knock at Charlotte's bedroom door and her father came in, dressed like a king with a diamond tiara on a pillow. Charlotte woke up and squealed as she saw her father and wrapped her arms around him.

"Of course." Darla smiled.

"It makes sense now," Cherry said as she remembered something. "Mr. LaBouff is the King of Mardi Gras and that makes Charlotte a princess!"

"Does that count?" Naveen asked.

"Yes, it does," Mama Odie replied. "But 'til midnight when Mardi Gras is over."

"Oh, come on!" Atticus exclaimed.

"Froggy, you got 'til then to get that princess to kiss you," Mama Odie told Naveen and stirred to show the transformation of the group of frogs being human again after Charlotte's kiss. "Once she does, boom! Y'all turn human!"

"Midnight?" Cherry asked before muttering. "Why is it always midnight?"

"Well, we can get it done way before then." Cherry said.

"Like when Shrek turned human for Fiona." Darla remembered.

Cherry glanced at her. "Um... Yeah... Hopefully we don't have Shrek adventures..." she muttered, but knowing the way her life was, it was very possible she would meet the ogre in the near future.

"How do we get there in time?" Darla asked.

"I have an idea." Atticus said.

"Yikes." Cherry deadpanned.

"Just listen to me, okay?" Atticus said to her. "When have my plans ever failed?"

"Do I have to answer that question?" Cherry groaned.

"Oh, come on, Atticus's plans never fail." Darla smiled.

Cherry rolled her eyes. "Alright, Smarty Pants, what's the plan?"

Atticus began to tell them how they all would get back in time. Everyone listened closely to Atticus's plan since they almost never fail. And where it sounded simple. Atticus smirked while Cherry folded her arms.

"How'd you get so smart and wise?" Darla asked her big brother.

"I've been reading books ever since I can remember." Atticus said.

"Nerd." Cherry smirked.

"You read books too!" Atticus glanced to her.

"I know." Cherry just laughed.

"Anyway, reading is a great way to expand your mind/brain." Atticus said.

"You sound like the school librarian." Darla smirked.

"Okay, come on, guys, let's get going so we can make you all human again." Cherry said.

"Agreed." Naveen nodded.

They all then parted ways with Mama Odie and went off to go through with Atticus's plan. Once they arrived at their transportation, all of them got on it.


It was a party boat with loud jazz music playing that was gently flowing along to make it back to New Orleans. Once the coast was clear, Louis signaled the others and they all came on, but he then panicked once he saw shadows of possible hunters.

"They've got guns!" he then froze like a statue with his trumpet, but the humans were just revealed to be musicians in animal costumes. And once the musicians saw Louis, they thought he was just another musician in an alligator costume. They even got him to play his horn and since he was talented, he was in the band and was allowed to play with them and it felt like a dreaming wish come true for him.

"I can't miss this!" Ray praised, watching Louis leave. "Little Louis is gonna finally play with the big boys!" he decided to watch for himself.

"Ahem." Atticus cleared his throat with a smirk as he saw Tiana and Naveen close together.

The two then let go of each other and exchanged nervous chuckles with each other.

"They are falling in love." Darla whispered.

"Yes, it seems so..." Atticus quietly nodded back.

"Naveen, you comin'?" Tiana asked as she hopped ahead to catch up with Ray to watch Louis in action.

"Oh," Naveen smiled. "I'll catch up with you later."

"You two go on ahead." Atticus said to Darla and Patch.

Darla and Patch nodded as they followed Tiana. Naveen looked down to see a stray wire and a lost pearl necklace from the celebration. He took both and in time he had made an engagement ring for Tiana. He saw it could easily slide through a finger and he put it in a walnut-shell and closed it to propose to the girl with. He then sighed and looked up at the night sky.


"You okay, Naveen?" Atticus asked.

"Oh! Atticus, I did not see you there." Naveen looked surprised.

"Does this have something to do with you asking Tiana an important question?" Atticus asked with a smile.

"Um... Well..." Naveen blushed slightly. "I'm sorry, but I just can't marry Miss Charlotte any longer. I'll find another way for Cherry to get a restaurant. I'll get a job... Maybe two... Or maybe three."

"Whoa! You must really love Tiana." Atticus smiled.

"Uh, yeah, I suppose I do." Naveen smiled sheepishly back.

"Yes, I knew it!" Atticus cheered.

"What's this here then?" Ray flew over.

"Naveen's gonna ask Tiana to marry him." Atticus said.

"Ooh, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" Ray cheered himself. "Y'all are gonna have the best tadpoles ever! I can't wait to tell Miss Frog!" he then went to tell Tiana the news.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Atticus said as he stopped the firefly.

"Ray, no, I must tell her, alone." Naveen said to the firefly.

"Right," Ray smirked and then gave Naveen a congratulatory noogie. "You rascal!"

"You can do it, Naveen." Atticus smiled.

Naveen looked hopeful.


Later that night, Naveen was going to propose. He then decided to show a surprise for Tiana to pop the question gently to her. And where a black butterfly even thought that Naveen wearing him would be a nice touch. He represented a bow tie.

"I should give you guys some privacy, but I really wanna see how this turns out." Atticus smiled.

"Well, okay." Naveen said.

"I'll try not to interrupt." Atticus promised.

"I hope she likes these." Naveen smiled at the stuff he had together to surprise Tiana with.

"I'm sure she will be surprised." Atticus smiled.

Naveen smiled back, looking very hopeful as it got darker and darker as they traveled. And where he soon went to get Tiana.


Darla was watching the view as she sat on Patch's back and Cherry watched with them as she took deep breaths to calm down her seasickness.

"You going to be okay, Cherry?" Darla asked.

"I think so..." Cherry said. "My stomach feels like it's turning, but I don't think I'm gonna throw up this time."

"I hate to see you get sick like that, you should take medication." Patch advised.

Cherry shrugged. "If I can find one."

Patch soon used his magic and where a frog-sized medicine for seasickness appeared in Cherry's hands. Cherry took the medicine. Patch then gave her a glass of water to take the medicine with. Cherry mumbled a thanks to the puppy and took the medication.

"You're welcome." Patch smiled.

Cherry looked a little bit better than before as she looked out way into the sea.

"Oh, it's so beautiful out here..." Darla smiled. "I just wanna travel the world someday."

"Maybe someday, you will." Patch smiled.

"Where would you go if you could travel?" Cherry asked.

"Places like Europe and Paris..." Darla smiled. "The City of Lights and Love..."

Darla smiled as she dreamt about her future.
