{Chapter VIII "Nighttime in the Bayou"}

Somehow Lovino and Antonio got themselves tangled in balloons trying to escape from Feliciano's dog Bella.

"Going up!" Antonio exclaimed. He was able to quickly loosen the ties at the bottom and now he and Lovino were floating away, gripping onto the strings for dear life.


"Voodoo!" Lovino explained once Antonio finally told him how he got turned into a frog. "You're telling me that this mess happened because you got involved with The Shadow Man?"

"He was very alluring!" Antonio growled in reply.

Lovino groaned. "This serves me right for wishing on stars. The only way you can get what you want is through hard work."

"Why would a prince have to work?"

"What? Oh, I'm not a prince, I'm a waiter."

"A waiter? Hold on a second, you're the jerk waiter from that café! No wonder the kiss did not work!"

"Oi bastard! Maybe it didn't work because I AM A MALE!"

"Right because it has nothing to do with the fact that you lied to me!"

"I never lied to your sorry ass! I never said I was a prince!"

"Well you never said you were a waiter either! You were even wearing a crown!"

"It was a costume party, dipshit!"

"Well guess what, the tables have turned because I am completely broke! Aha!" They both looked at each other when they heard a popping sound. "What was that?" They looked up and saw that the balloons were now all being popped by a tree. "Uh-oh." They both screamed as they fell and Lovino, thankfully landed on something kind of soft. Unfortunately, that thing was Antonio. He made to strangle Antonio but Antonio grabbed his arms and glared at him as well. If frogs could blush, Lovino figured his face would be as red as a tomato once he realized that he was straddling Antonio. He cleared his throat and shoved himself off of Antonio.

"You said that you were fabulously wealthy, bastard."

"My parents are fabulously wealthy, but they cut me off for being a-leech!" Antonio waved his arm around trying to get the leech off. Lovino sighed and pulled it off him. He saw a bird flying down towards them and grabbed Antonio to start running. Once they found shelter on a log, he instantly let go of Antonio's arm and continued glaring at him.

Antonio sighed. "I intend on becoming rich again, once I marry Feliciano Vargas. That is, if he'll have me.

"You're a prince?"

"Obviously!"

"Then he'll have you. Once you marry Feli, you'll get me my restaurant right?"

"Whoa, I promised a reward to a prince, not a cranky-why are those logs moving?" Lovino turned to look at whatever Antonio was staring at when he noticed that the "logs" were indeed moving towards them in the water.

"I don't think those are logs."

"Aren't you right?" A deep voice said behind them. They turned around to face a vicious looking alligator smirking at them. "I call the big one." As the alligators lunged at them, Lovino dove into the water and swam around until he found an opening into the trunk of a tree where he was table to peer out from safety.

"Psst! Down here!" Antonio whispered.

"Get you own tree," Lovino replied making sure he was loud enough for the alligators to notice Antonio.

"There he is!" One of them called so they all started swimming over.

"Please, if you lower the vine and get me out of this swamp I promise I'll get you all the money you need!" Antonio pleaded. Nodding, Lovino lowered the vine and pulled Antonio up. The alligators continued to laugh and taunt them from the water. "Well waiter, it looks like we'll be here all night so we night as well get comfortable." Lovino punched him. "Ow!"

"Get your slimy self away from me!" Lovino exclaimed.

"I told you, its mucus!"


A/N: I was looking through my documents and it turns out I wrote another chapter! I know this one is a little short, but I figured I should post it so I don't forget about it! I always enjoyed the scene where Tiana and Naveen came clean to each other, and I knew writing it with Lovino and Antonio would be hilarious. I knew I'd have to put in as many insults from Lovino as I could, so I hope I did him justice XD

Now I believe I'm officially off, here's hoping to seeing y'all next week!

Ciao, Athineath~
