Prince Naveen in New Orleans…..
While running down the street Charlotte stopped a newspaper saying "Prince Naveen is coming to New Orleans. Tia I got -." Before Charlotte could tell Tiana a man walked up to Tiana. Tiana looked up and saw Prince Naveen with his butler Lawrence. Prince Naveen spoke saying "Titia, mi bonita! How are you?" Tiana looked at Prince Naveen and said "Why are you here?" "I'm here because of the jazz music. Do you love jazz, mi bonita?" Tiana smiled and Naveen saying "I love jazz because Jazz is nothing like you. You ass whole. You left me, and now your following me. I left so I didnt have to see you whore around your palace." PRince Naveeen struggled to control hhis temper by saying "Well, Ms. Tiana must be a pure saint , then? Because the last time I remember I made you moan my name." Tiana gasped as her cheeks turned red. Lawrence said "Sir, this behavior is not like a gentleman." Naveen said "Shut up ! I speak as I please." Tiana was about to walk away but then she turned and slapped Naveen across the face. Charlotte said "Tiana!" Tiana turned and said "What Charlotte?" Charlotte said nervously "We better leave for home, now." Naveen smiled and said "Tiana, I love you. One day you will marry me?" Tiana remembred those same exact words the five year old Naveen said to her. Tiana snapped out of the memory saying "Dream on, Naveen. Welcome to New Sir. Lawrence" Tiana and Charolette struted away. Naveen and Lawrence hopped in a car and drove to the Prince's Condo.
At the Condo...
Prince Naveen paced back and forth reading and replying to his text messages while Lawrence retrieved the house phone from the kitchen. Sir Lawrence answered saying "Hello, Naveen's Residence. How may I help you?" Mama Odie spoke saying "Hello der Lawrence. I was wondering if you men would like to have dinner with us tonight?" Lawrence smiled and said "Yes, madam Odie, we would love to attend." Mama Odie smiled across the room looking at Tiana saying "Okay be here at seven sharp." The phone clicked. Lawrence rushed the living room saying "Prince Naveen , we have been invited to attend dinner at the Brown Residence." Naveen stopped pacing and looked at Lawrence saying "Dude, I don't know I should go their tonight. Tiana hates men." Lawrence walked over to Prince Naveen saying "She loves you, but you must change and show that you love her and only her. No playing around anymore." Naveen nodded saying "Okay, so will you teach me how o be serious?" Lawrence shook his head saying "No, but someone else can." Just then Prince Louis came waltzing in the living room saying "I think someone needs helps on Womanology 101?" Naveen laughed saying "Louis, my friend. W-what are you doing here?" Louis looked around scratching the back of his head saying "I'm on a small trip and playing my trumpet Gisele." Naveen nodded saying "your not here for Charlotte?" Louis blushed saying "I'm here for her too. But you should treat Tiana better. You know we were raised to respect women. They are not play toys, man. They are people." Naveen rolled his eyes saying " I know this already!" In unison both Prince Louis and Sir Lawrence said "Then act like it." Naveen stopped and looked at them. They were right he thought. He said "Let's get ready for dinner. Oh and Lawrence get me Mr. Zales on the phone, please Sir?" Sir. Lawrence nodded and Prince Louis settled in the guest room .

Charlotte and Grandpa Juju were setting up the tables and putting the plates and utensils down when the doorbeel rang. Grandpa Juju said "I'm going to see who's at the door, okay." Charlotte ran and told Mama Odie someone was at the door. Mama Odie came to see Juju open the door. On the other side of the door was Sir. Lawrence, Prince Naveen, and Prince Louis. Mama Odie ushered the men inside to the living room while Charlotte was in the kitchen with Tiana. Charlotte peeped out of the kitchen to see Prince Louis and she gapsed and ran back into the kitchen saying "Prince Louis is here!" Tiana smiled and said "Mama Odie invited him for dinner then. " Charlotte smiled until she said but then realized saying "normally Mama Odie sits the guest in her normal room." Tiana wash putting the cooked fish on the plate saying "what room are they in Lottie?" Lottie smiled and said "Mama Odie's golden cream living room." Tiana looked up and Lottie saying "well, maybe she wanted to shoe off that room today." Lottie laughed and said "okay, but what if she invited Prince Naveen too?" Tiana took out the pies and rolls setting them on the table saying "Lottie, grandma knows better than that. But if she invited him then that's fine. I still like him but he doesn't know how to treat women correctly." Lottie nodded stuffing her face with chocolate saying "Yeah, Tia. Well, show him how he should treat you." Tiana and said "okay, i'll do it." Lottie wiped her mouth and said "lets put the rest of the food on the table." After the sat the food on the table, Lottie took her seat saying "Tia, it's your turn to tell the Grand's and their guest it time to eat." Tia laughed saying "Lottie, you know I cooked and I'm tried but fine. I'll let you off the hook." Lottie said "Love you, tia!"

Lawrence talked about his finance and their plans to get married next year if he's back by then. Naveen smiled saying "Lawrence, I promise you'll be back soon." Tiana looked at Naveen saying "How's your family?" Naveen suddenly became stiff and everyone looked at him. Naveen cleared his throat saying "they are doing very well." Tiana knew Naveen was lying because his eyes looked down at the empty plate. Then he said "Mama Odie and Mr. Juju may I take Tiana out for a short walk." They nodded their heads, but I said "yall don't want me to clean up?" Mama Odie said "Girl, you better go get you some fresh air." Naveen grabbed Tiana's jacket and his and they headed out the door.

Naveen and Tiana were walking down the street coming near a jazz club that Tiana works at as a waitress. Naveen said "Do you want to come in with me?" Tiana said "Naveen , I thought we were going for a walk?" Naveen smiled and said "Can we go dancing for five minutes?" Tiana nodded and walked in the door.

Naveen shook his head saying "Don't. IT's fine. I was a stupid guy and broke many hearts. I even broke yours and took your purity. I truly apologized for that. My father never for gave me for that." Tiana nodded and said "My mom was disappointed in me but she forgave me. But I have to go to the doctor soon because I'm late." Naveen said "Are you nervous?" Tiana grabbed his hand saying "Yeah, were only sixteen not even twenty. I am going to be a triple major in Biology, Spanish business and culinary. Naveen, I do love your, But I don't want a child yet. I would have never done a careless thing like this. Naveen, what's your plan?" Naveen leaned in and kissed Taina. Naveen then pulled back saying "Maybe, this is the plan. Of course besides being King- " Tiana rolled her saying "Naveen, besides the King fact. What's next?" Naveen smiled "Business, pro soccer and you my love." Tiana laughed and nudged him playfully on the shoulder and Naveen blushed. Then Tiana said "Why me , Naveen? Out of all the girls in the world, why me?" Naveen stood up and looked at the sky saying " You are my only true love. I must be honest, I may not be King because of what happened after me and you. However, I told since the beginning Iwas going to marry you." Tiana stood and said "What happened after I left?" Prince Naveen swallowed an slight turn towards Tiana saying "I was caught by my father with a women." Tiana nodded saying "Wow, now that's nearly thirty women, Naveen. Do you love me?"

Naveen said "I'm not leaving you out here." Naveen grabbed Tiana and threw her body over is shoulder while she was screaming and kicking at him .Naveen was walking back to the Brown Residence. Tiana tried to wiggled her way out of Naveen's hold but it didn't work. Naveen stared singing "Love Me" and Tiana was shocked he could sing so she started singing "Respect". Then Naveen sung along and Tiana laughed. He stopped and put her down and she smiled and said "I liked the view." Naveen winked saying "me too Princess."

Queen Natalia fainted in Grandpa Juju arm's.
At Central Hospital...
Tiana paced the halls of Central Hospital saying to herself "Stupid, stupid stupid." She smacked herself in the forehead saying "Why did I refuse to give the man the jewlry? Naveen wouldn't be laying in the hospital and I wouldn't be so fearful. " Before Tiana could hit her forehead again her hands was grabbed by Charolette. Tiana looked at Charlotte saying "Lottie, I'm scared for Naveen." Charlotte gave Tiana a hug. Mama Odie and Queen Natalia walked down the hall follwing Prince Louis and Grandpa Juju. Prince Louis cleared his throat interrupting Tiana and Charlotte's embrace. Charlotte moved aside and rested her hand on Tiana's shoulder. Prince Louis spoke "Sorry to interrupt, but Tiana where's Naveen?" Tiana wipe away tears saying "He's in the operation room. T-t-the Doctor said he lost some blood from his head, and he was unconscious when we got here." Queen Natalia stepped closer to Tiana saying "What happened" in a soft tone.

Tiana placed her over her heart and said "Doctor Lee, Is Naveen alright.? " Doctor took a long pause and then said "Ms. Tiana , Naveen is in a coma right now". Tiana grabbed a chair and sat down quickly. The Doctor tried to reached for but she shook her head saying "So, all I can do is pray?" Doctor Lee nodded saying " , the Lord can fix any situtation". Tiana smiled grimly saying "I pray so..." Doctor Lee left the Office and went over to the family and friends...
As Tiana started leaving Doctor Lee' Office she heard loud sobbing and she qucken her pace towards the noise. Tiana froze at the sight of seeing Queen Natalia and Mama Odie crying.
