Hai dere! Ok, so I realize something I've been totally forgetting to do and I said: "Kairi what's wrong with you!" And I was like: "I don't know, I'm so so sorry!" And then I realized my concussion might not be completley gone if I'm talking to myself. I forgot to thank my reviewers!
Princess Tricia, Moxiegirl13, Blueberry Popsicles, and Jules, thank you sooo, soooooooo much! You guys are the reason i'm still writing.
Now, without further ado, chapter 5,
Princess and the Frog-Princess and the Frog- Princess and the Frog-
Tiana came walking out of the kitchen, wiping her hands with a towel. She left the cooking for the last few customers to her head che and went out to check on how things were going. As she thought about it, she realized herhusband had mysteriously gone missing a while ago. She looked around, spotting him at a table with a young girl. Tiana squinted, the girl almost looked familiar. She didn't have much time to think on it, however, as he stood up and walked over.
"Do you know her?" Tiana asked.
"Now I do." Naveen replied with a smile.
"What did she want?"
"She just wants to talk to us." At the look on Tiana's face, he out up his hands in defense.
"Look, she seems like a good girl. Just...she's just a little lost." With that, he went off to go bring a couple their food. Tiana looked back over at the girl who had been joined by her friends. One was talking animatedly while the other was leaning back calmly as he watched him. Tiana shook her head, smiling at the three before walking around to greet some of the guests.
Princess and the Frog-Princess and the Frog- Princess and the Frog-
"Next time, Kay you've got to come with us!" Ken yelled as they sat back down, snatching up another beinget. John quirked a brow when he noticed there were some left on the plate.
"You didn't finish them?" He asked, gesturing to the empty plate.
"No, I got a little destracted." She said with a shrug.
"With what?" Kay smiled, leaning back.
"Once most of the people are gone we'll be talking with Tiana and Naveen." Ken started at her and a beinget fell from his hand. John had the same look on his facr as they spoke together.
"We will?"
Princess and the Frog-Princess and the Frog- Princess and the Frog-
"Kay, Kay," Kay's eyes opened and she realized she was leaning on John's shoulder.
"Huh-?" She asked, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Good, you're awake. Most of the people are leaving now." Ken told her, smiling a little.
"I-I was asleep?" She asked tiredly.
"Yeah, and from how long it took us to wake you, I'd say John makes a real good pillow." Under the table John kicked Ken's chair and he tipped over, landing awkwardly on the floor.
"Ken!" Kay yelled in surprise, standing up. John, however was laughing.
"I'm ok," the younger boy replied, standing to pull the chair back up.
"Anyway, I woke you up because most of the people are leaving and we'll probably talk to Tiana and Naveen soon." John said, making Kay turn her attention back to him.
"Oh, thanks then. I wouldn't want to be all tired when we talk, huh?" She asked with a yawn. In turn, Ken yawned, and then John. Kay laughed a little and sat back down when she noticed.
"So what are you going to tell them?" Ken questioned, sitting down and leaning his arms on the table.
"The truth." Kay answered.
"The worst they can do is say no."
"And if they do say no?" Kay paused then. That was an option she had never considered. What if they did say no? What would she do then? Luckily she didn't have to answer, because a voice to the left of their table asked.
"Say no to what?" The three looked over to see Naveen there, grabbing two chairs to pull up to their table.
"To what I want to ask you and Tiana." She said, "and I'd rather wait until she was here too if you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all. That would be easier, yes?" He asked. Kay nodded in agreement.
"Oh!" She suddenly squeaked a little.
"These are my friends John and Ken." The boys gave a little wave as she said each of their names.
"Guys, this is Naveen, Prince of Maldonia." Both of them scrambled to get out of their seats and gave him a bow.
"Boys, boys, please. That is not necessary." They sat back down, each looking at the other sheepishly.
"Tiana should be here any momen-."
"Here I am!" The woman called, coming out of the kitchen. She sat down next to her husbad.
"Welcome to New Orleans!" Tiana said with a smile.
"My name's Tiana. Who are you three?"
"I'm Ken."
"John."
"K-Kay." She stuttred, suddenly feeling her stomach drop now that she was actually meeting the future queen of Maldonia.
"So, what did ya'll want to talk to us about?" She asked. John and Ken turned to Kay, who suddenly shrunk a little in her seat. Ken, who didn't notice that she had slid down, told them.
"It's mostly Kay who wants to." And suddenly all eyes were on her.
"There's no need to be afraid, sweetie." Tiana said when she realized how nervous the girl looked. John's hand reached for hers under the table and gave her a gentle squeeze.
"U-um, well...I have a reason to believe my parents are living in this city, and I want permission to go through the records from the year I was born and see who they are so I can find them." When she saw Tiana and Naveen give each other surprised looks she added, "It's ok if I'm not allowed to, I mean, there are other ways of searching for them."
"Now what kind of people would we be if we didn't let a young girl search for her parents?" Tiana asked standing up to give Kay a soft tap on her chin.
"We'll show you the records tomorrow, yes?" Naveen looked up at his wife who nodded.
"But, now, it is late, and we should all be getting some rest." Kay looked to the boys suddenly, all holding the same expression on their faces.
"Is...uh, is something wrong?" Naveen asked them.
"We...don't really have anywhere to stay." Ken said sheepishly, scratching his head. John absentmindedly kicked their bags under the table, each one of them only having a large backpack.
"We've got enough room for you all to stay here with us, don't ya worry." Tiana said.
"Boys, follow me, I'll show you to where you'll stay." Naveen said, putting a hand on each of their shoulders. Kay watched as John and Ken grabbed their bags and, with a quiet "goodnight". They were led up the stairs.
"And Kay," Kay looked up at Tiana, who was offering her a smile.
"You can come with me." Kay grabbed her backpack and stood up following Tiana as she led her up a different flight of stairs.
"Thank you, Miss Tiana." Kay said as she was being led through a hall on the second floor.
"Oh, it's no problem." She said, turning on the light to the room.
"Here you are." Kay walked into the room and felt dizzy for a moment as she looked around. Something about it seemed almost familiar. She shook it off before lying on the bed, fully clothed and everything.
"I can't believe I'm here." She whispered, her eyes closing as she fell asleep almost immediately. Tiana giggled at the girl before pulling off Kay's shoes and helped her under the covers. Walking back to the doorway she said, out of reflex, "Goodnight Babycakes." And froze suddenly, looking back at Kay. Shaking her head, she turned the light off and left the room.
