In Maldonia...
Prince Naveen tossed and turned in his sleep. So he woke up and walked over to the King's Chamber. Naveen knocked on the door, but no one answered. Naveen knocked again and this time the King opened and looked down at his son saying "What do you want"? in a grumpy tone . Naveen jumped and stuttered out " I-I c-could not sleep, papa". The King said "Come on let's go to your room and read". The King took the boys hand and walked to the Prince's room. The King tucked Naveen into to bed and beginning looking for his favorite book The Froggi Prutto (The Frog Prince). Once the King finally found the book he began reading. After the King finished the book the King was expecting Naveen to be asleep. Much his surprise the Prince was wide awake. King Lucaso groaned and said "Naveen, you need to go to bed." Naveen said "Okay, but Papa can Tiana come to the Palace to play with me?" The King looked in Naveen's honey colored eyes. In all honesty the King wanted his son to be happy but he could not promise him Tiana and her family would come back to Maldonia. The King offered them jobs and everything but they told him they would consider the offer. But however the King lied and said "Yes, Tiana will come back to play with you. '(The King smiled) 'Um, son why did you ask me that?" Naveen looked at his father and said "Because she is my friend, and I want her to play with me again". The King nodded and kissed his son "Goodnight" on the forehead, then shut the door to the Prince's room. On the way back to his room the King heard the phone in the study ringing. The King answered the phone. The Todonian Government called to tell the King to inform him that Princess Ru of Todonia would like to marry Prince Naveen. The King told the Todonian Government "Prince Naveen is promised to someone else". and he hung up the phone. The Phone rung again but this time it was Eil D.B. and James telling him that they would like to work for Maldonia .
Seeing you off ...
Eudora and James had disagreed to agree on him moving to Maldonia. Telese , and Tiana did not understand why their father had to go to Maldonia . Tiana gave her daddy and hug. She was so sad, "Daddy, please don't leave us". James held Tiana tighter and said "I'll be back soon babycakes.' Telese give your daddy a hug?" Telese came over and gave him a hug after he put Tiana down. James walked over to Eudora and tried to kiss her but she pulled back. She was hurt that he did not want to stay. She loked at him and said "I love you , James." Then she ran into his arms and sobbed. However the LaBouff family seemed to be okay with Eli leaving. They hugged, and embraced each other. Once the Plane took off the women and children went home.
Visiting...
James and Eli always came back around the Holidays. The children were growing up so fast. Every time James would come home he loved talking to his favorite girls.(Tiana, Telese and Eudora). James would laugh when Tiana would ask about Naveen. James would say "Naveen always asks about all of you especially you, Tiana". This news would always make Tiana blush. The last time her Dad came back she saw the newspaper headlines saying " Prince Naveen is now Promised to Princessa Ru". Tiana ran upstairs to her room and cried. James felt his daughters pain. He was about to go follow her until Eudora said "James, maybe we should move to Maldonia. The LaBouffs are moving too". However when they told Tiana they were moving to Maldonia Tiana said "I hate Maldonia, and I hate then Prince". James shook his head and said "Well then, you'll stay here with Mama Odie your great-grandmother". Tiana was happy to stay but she did not want her parents to leave. Tiana also did not want Lottie to move. But Tiana was snapped out of her thoughts when the doorbell rang. At the door Lottie stood with their with all her belongs. My parents and her parents talked about having her stay with me and my great-grandma. So me and Charlotte stayed with Mama Odie and our families left for Maldonia the next week. They families said their goodbyes to the girls and Mama Odie.
In Maldonia...
Once the Gracia and LaBouff family landed at the Mal Airport in Maldonia they called home to check on the girls and Mama Odie. Sadly there was no answer because Mama Odie took the girls out for some ice cream and beignets. So Eli and James took there families to their houses. Once at the house the families got busy settling in to their new homes. James heard a knock at the door. James opened the door to see a Royal messenger had him a scroll. The Scrool read Royal family message to them. As soon as the messenger left James closed the door and well after we get some rest we will go over to the Palace.
At The Palace...
Princess Eva and Prince Naveen were dressed in Royal Traditional Maldonian clothing. However, Naveen hated wearing his uniform because it was itchy. His mother the Queen walked in and said "Naveen, stop moving.' 'You are making you itching worse'." Naveen nodded and said "Sorry, mama". Eva wanted to play outside , she couldn't wait to see Telese and Charles. However Eva felt that something was wrong. Eva turned and looked at her mother. "Mama' Eva said , 'where is daddy?' and 'why-". Before Eva could finish the Royal Guards came into the room with the Gracias and LaBouff's. Everyone gave each hand shakes, and hugs. The women started talking and all the kids except Naveen wanted to go outside. Naveen on the other hand wanted to know why Tiana was not here. Sure he knew Charlotte was missing but he like his Titia more. Naveen walked up to Mr. Garcia and said "Excuse me, but where is Tiana?" Mr. Garcia looked down and "She's in New Orleans with her grandma Mama Odie." Naveen looked sadden and said "But, why?" James looked at the boy and said " She just didn't want to move, Prince Naveen.' 'But maybe she'll move later." The boy tried to smile but instead he nodded his head and ran away down the hall to the King's Office.
The King's Office...
Naveen made it to the door of his Dad's Office and was about to knock until he heard an unfamiliar voice. Naveen put his ear against the door and knew it was none other than the evil voodoo Doctor the King Shadow-man of Todonia. Naveen thought to himself "Why would he be here?". Naveen opened the door and saw King Shadow-man sitting across from his father. Naveen noticed that the Shadow-man's daughter Ru the Princess of Todonia was in the office. King Lucaso saw Naveen and said "Bow, and came next to me". So Naveen closed the door and did as he was told. King Shadow-man said " King Lucaso, and I we're talking about how you saw now be promised to Princess Ru instead of that Commoner named Tiana". Naveen looked at his father and said "Papa is this true". The King looked at his son and said " Son, if you don't marry Ru this Kingdom will be at war against Todonia". Naveen did not want his country at war with Todonia and he also did not want to disappoint his father so he said "Father, I would rather marry than lose this Kingdom". The Shadow-man's smiled but something felt evil. However King Lucaso said "Naveen, what about Tiana?" Naveen was silent and said " If Tiana loves me she will understand. Me and Ru shall marry in eleven years. The December 24 Christmas Eve." The King went to his phone and called his royal messengers to send out the new Royal Marriage Proposal. However the King Lucaso never signed this proposal so if Naveen changed his mind them he would not lose his throne to Princess Ru. King Lucaso then dismissed The Royal Shadow-man family. The King looked at his son for five minutes than spoke "Naveen, buddy I would have rather you go to boarding school and me fight a war than have you married into that family." Naveen took a sit and looked at his father , and said " I might be five years old, but I am wise. I do not want to lose you like I lost grandpa Lucio. Remember he lost to the Todonian army. They-". Before Naveen could finish Queen Natalia busted in the King's Office and said " Lucaso , how dare you!" The King looked sternly at his wife and said "Don't you knock?! No, how dare you coming busting in here like you run this place!" Naveen jumped at his father's tone. Queen Natalia looked at Naveen and said "Sweet heart, why did you father send a Royal Marry Message saying " You Naveen are to marry Ru?" Naveen said "Mama, I did what was best for the Kingdom." Queen Natalia looked at her husband and said "I guess like father like son. Did you tell him how our father's died in the Battle of Flordonia, huh?" The King looked at Queen and said "I'm very upset and I can not think about what happened many moons ago because you don't want our son to marry Ru." The Queen stomped out the room and slammed the door. The King looked at the door and said "Damn , her. I love you all Naveen but the final choice is yours. Now If you excuse me I need to have a conversation con ti ma , vale? ( with your mom, ok?)." Naveen nodded and both he and the King went their separate ways after leaving his office.
In the Dinning Room...
Everyone seemed to be normal. Dinner was a five course meal. The families talked and ate. Naveen excued himself from the table and asked his valet Dave to find Mama Odie's number in New Orleans. The valet looked at him and said "Prince Navven, sir I would have to say I'm taking your to the family Library to make the phone call because that one has more privacy." Naveen walked with the man to the Library. Dave found the number and dialed. Mama Odie picked up the telephone and said " Ello, can I helps ya?" The valet pssed the phone to Naveen. Naveen spoke "Hello, Mama Odie? My name is Prin-" Mama Odie cut him off and said " I know who you is Princey Naveen,. You is all lil Tia talks about(laughs out loud)." Naveen smiled and said " Can you tell her I want to speak with her, Mama Odie?" Mama Odie called Tiana and handed her the phone , while Charlotte laughed at her friend. Tiana spoke shyly saying "Hello, how is dis". Naveen smiled and said " TiTia it's me , Naveen!" Tiana giggled and said " Why are you calling me? I though grownups only made phone calls." Naveen smiled and said "When your royalty, you can anything." Dave the Valet rolled his eyes and laughed and Tiana blushed at Naveen and Mama Odie said "Tia baby, you better stop blushing." Naveen said "But, I wanted to tell you that due to the Kingdom almost being under attack due to Todnian. I regret to say Tiana that I can not-" Tiana said "Naveen I love you." Then Tiana hung up the phone and ran into her room. Naveen heard he phone click and looked at Dave and said " She said "Naveen, I love you.' then she hung up". Naveen began to cry and Dave picked him up and took him to his room. Dave the fixed Naveen some sweets and talked him about girls. To Naveen Dave was like an older brother. Dave did look like his father and Naveen himself looked like Dave. Even Eva called Dave her brother too. so Naveen asked "Dave, are you my brother". Dave did not know what to say. Yes, they are brothers but it's complicated. They have the same parents but Natalia was only seventeen when she had Dave and today was Dave's seventeenth birthday so Queen Natalia is thirty-four years old. Naveen said "Dave, dave are you?" Dave looked at Naveen and said "Mama was young when she had me and this is grandpapa was holding me then the nanny kidnapped me". Naveen said "Do mama and papa know you are here?" Dave shook his head "no". Naveen jumped out of bed and ran out the door yelling "Mama! Papa!" Dave chased after him but by the time reached him Naveen was already telling what happened" Mama, Papa Dave is my brother". The King looked and Naveen and said "Where is Dave?" Dave walked in the room and said "Sorry your majesties.' Naveen come on-". The King stepped to Dave and said " What is your full name?" Dave spoke "Daveon Lucio Tomas Rodriguez Valasquez- Ghib ". The King grabbed Dave and hugged him "My eldest son, after 12 years you are here." Queen Natalia kissed Dave on the cheek and said " Why didn't you tells us? Instead Naveen told". Naveen hugged Dave's leg. Dave reached picked up Naveen and said "This is my buddy right here." Naveen gave Dave a hug. The King and Queen smiled and kissed them both and Naveen said "Eva knew he was our brother too. She said that an old maid took him". His parents nodded and said "Yes, that's she took him. Hmm, I need to talk to Eva. So Goodnight boys and the Queen left the room." The men talked for awhile and then went to bed. However Dave told his father that he wanted to visit New Orleans and take Naveen with him. The King said "yes, but he would have to have royals guards". Dave gave his father a hug and the King begin to cry . The King stepped back and said " I thank God that your are here alive! Your mother went into a depression until she had Naveen. I love you , your sister, your and your mother. Promise me that you will be safe and who helped you come back home?" Dave smiled and hand his dad a tissue and said "Papa, I promise we will be fine. Mama Odie helped me come back home. King Facilar kidnapped me and sent me to New Orleans." The King nodded and said "That will never happen again,okay?" Dave nodded and they said "Goodnight" to each other.
So the next day The Prince's were off to New Orleans...
Naveen was excited about traveling with his brother. Dave was nervous about going back to New Orleans to visit Mama Odie and Juju her husband. Dave turned to see Naveen looking at his jazz tapes. Dave smiled and walked over to Naveen. "What ya lookin for Naveen?" Naveen turned and said "What's Jazz?" Dave looked at the boy in disbelief. "You don't know what Jazz is ?! Well, today is your lucky day." Dave and Naveen talked about jazz for three hours. Then Naveen said " Do you play jazz?" Dave smiled and said "Yeah, I play the drums." Then Dave got up from the bed and picky up a wrapped box and handed it to Naveen. Naveen looked puzzled and said "What is it?" Dave shook his head and said "Open it Prutto , or I'll be upset." So Naveen opened the box and smiled when he saw a ukulele. Naveen hugged Dave and said "Your the best older brother! I always wanted a ukuele." Dave smiled spoke releasing Naveen " I played the ukuele when I was three until...nevermind. I'm glad you like it bro!" Then the boat horn blew. Naveen smiled and said "New Orleans , the Prince's of Maldonia are here!" Dave laughed and his brother while packing up their things. A couple of servants took their things to the car even though Dave said "I got the suit cases." However they ignored his orders and did what they were told by the King. Once in the car they went to a house on stoneway which is where they were going to stay. Once after settling in the house and eating Dave wanted his brother to Come with him to meet Mama Odie. Naveen did not want o go out at first because he wanted to watch television. However Dave old Naveen that he will buy him ice cream if he came so Naveen went with him. Dave drove five blocks away to Stonewall road to Mama Odie's house.
At Mama Odie's House...
