"Voodoo?!" Padme gasped in horror. "You mean to tell me all this happened because you messed witha shadow man?"

"He was very charismatic." Anakin tried to defend.

"Look, there are three things to avoid in Galaxy Isle. The Sith Gang, Doresho Gypsies, and Voodoo folks! Didn't your mother ever teach you that?"

"I had guards to worry about that stuff."

Padme sighed. "It serves me right for wishing on stars. The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work."

"Hard work?" said Anakin, confused. "Why would a princess need to work hard?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm not a princess. I'm a waitress and retail worker."

"A waitress?" said Anakin. "No wonder the kiss didn't work. You lied to me!"

"No, no. I never said I was a princess."

"You never said you were a waitress or that you worked retail. You were wearing a crown."

"It was a costume party, you spoiled little rich boy! Did you not see the mayor dressed like a butterfly?"

"Oh, yeah?" said Anakin. "Well, the egg is on your face, all right? I don't have any riches. I'm completely broke!"

POP!

"Uh oh!" Anakin said, looking up.

Padme looked up too, and up above the two frogs, some branches poked the balloons and popped them, sending the two of them plummeting to the swamp below. Luckily a web untangled and held Padme up safely above the water... until Anakin fell on top of her, knocking them both into the water.

The prince and waitress popped out of the water and spat out the muck.

"You said you were fabulously wealthy!" Padme said angrily.

"No. My parents are fabulously wealthy." Anakin clarified. "But they cut me off for being a... leech!"

Anakin panicked seeing a leech on his arm, and Padme started to pull it off.

"You're broke, and you have the audacity to call me a liar?" Padme scolded, throwing the leech away, it getting eaten by a fish that popped out of the water.

Padme and Anakin both screamed and rushed out of the water, only to be met by a hungry stork.

As they rushed off for their lives...

"I fully intend to be rich again!" said Anakin. "Once I marry Miss Caroline Mitchell. If she will have me."

"Your brother is a prince too, right?" said Padme.

"Yeah, why?"

"Chances are, she might have him instead."

The two landed roughly on a log as they slipped down a muddy hill.

"I can't believe I didn't think about Carmine." Anakin said. "Women aren't throwing themselves at him as much because he's so shy and quiet. But if Caroline is interested in guys like that."

"She loves shy men!" Padme facepalmed. "And if she marries your brother instead of you?"

"No matter, I'll just ask him to give you the money I promised you. Princess or not, you did kiss me." Anakin said. "I may not be the most responsible one, but I am a guy of my word- why are those logs moving?"

And Padme could see very clearly that those logs weren't logs at all! They were alligators!

"I got dibs on the big one!" said the gator the two frogs were sitting on.

The gators all tried to snap at the two frogs, but they ended up biting each other instead, and the two frogs found a safe hollow tree to hide in.

Anakin sighed with relief.

"Well, waitress-"

"Padme." said the girl frog.

"Padme... I like that name. It looks like it's just you and me here for a while. So, we might as well get comfortable."

But Padme slapped Anakin across the face.

"Keep your slimy hands to yourself!"

"I told you, it's not slime!" said Anakin. "It's mucus!"

Before they knew it, the next morning came, and Anakin was still fast asleep... until he was hit in the head with an acorn.

"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty! The gators are gone."

Anakin groggily woke up and peeked out from the tree to see Padme on a little raft she built.

"Come on! We gotta get back to New Starlanes and undo this mess you got us into." Padme said.

Anakin hopped on the raft and lay back like he was on vacation.

"I was not the one parading around with a phony-baloney tiara." sang Anakin, only for Padme to bonk his head with the stick she used for a paddle. "Ow!"

Anakin sighed, and he picked off a stick with web on it and played it like a ukelele.

"A little music to paddle by." Anakin said.

That was when another being swam by and startled the two frogs. But it wasn't a gator. It was an amphibious biped creature known as a Gungan. His name was Jar Jar.

"Mesa know that song." said the gungan, playing the same song Anakin had on a little trumpet he held.

And soon, the gungan and Anakin were making music together.

"Where'd you learn to play like that?"

"Thersa people bands playing on river boats in the river boats every night. Mesa dreamin' of playing since I was a wee gungan."

"Well, what's stopping you?" Anakin said.

"Mesa, Jar Jar Binks, isa not human, so mesa not allowed outside dis swamp."

"It's true," said Padme. "Only humans are allowed on the other side of that wall we flew over."

"Wait... you're kidding, right?" Anakin said.

"Tell me, Princey. Did you see any Twileks, Togruta, or Cerea other than the ones pillaging the ball walking among the people of New Starlanes?"

Anakin thought about it and said, "No. I didn't. I only saw humans."

"See? Now, as nice as it was to meet you, Jar Jar," said Padme, beginning to paddle again. "We gotta get going."

"Where yousa headin'?" asked the Gungan.

"To find somebody to break this spell."

"Spell? What spell?

"Believe it or not," said Anakin. "We're not really frogs. We're actually humans."

Jar Jar tried not to laugh.

"Yousa serious?"

"Dead serious. I'm Anakin, Prince of Coruscant, and she is Padme, the waitress-slash-retail girl." He then whispered to Jar Jar. "Do not kiss her."

"Hey, hold on now!" Padme said. "This fool here got himself turned into a frog by a voodoo man, and now..."

"Voodoo?!" Jar Jar hid beneath the water. Then he slowly came out. "Ooh. That is muy muy bad. Ooh! Yoda! Hesa might have answers!"

"Yoda?" asked the two frogs.

"Hesa leadin' folks here. Everyone who lives here."

"Wait, there are others who live here?" Anakin said.

"An entire village. Mesa know everybody. Some got magic of they own."

"Someone who could break this spell, by chance?" Padme asked hopefully.

"Yeah, yeah! Mesa livin' right close to there." Jar Jar said.

"So, can you take us there?" Padme asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jar Jar said, picking up the two frogs. "Mesa know a shortcut!"

"You know, have you ever thought of asking one of your magical friends to turn you human?" asked Anakin.

"Yes. Theysa sayin' that don't last too long and takes muy too much power to do anyway."

"You know," said Padme. "My father once said things aren't always as they seem. I don't believe non-humans are dangerous. Or that you would hurt our society intentionally. One way or another, things will have to change eventually."
