Summary: The Frog Prince, Death Note style. Light promises to let a frog live with him, but he doesn't think he'll actually have to stick to his word.
Spoilers: Uhhhmmm...Well, Mello shows up. And...And...Not much else...
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note (Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata do) and most of these fairy tales belong to Hans Christian Anderson or the Brothers Grimm. Aka, not me.
Warning: Childish and stupid humor, LxLight, and plenty of OOCness
A/N: I had been planning on Alice in Wonderland for this week, but I got struck by inspiration (It won't leave me alone. T-T ) to draw a picture for it. So I wanna finish that before I post up the fanfiction. Meaning it might be a while.
I don't think this one turned out as good as some of my other fairy tales have (it might be because I was listening to Sweeny Todd music while writing it), but here you go anyway.
Once upon a time... (Here we go again...)
There was an extremely beautiful (and sexy) prince named Light. Every day he would go outside of the castle and sit outside the nearby well. There, he would play with his favorite toy: A little golden ball that he liked to toss up and down while he pretended that it was actually fun to sit around and throw the ball into the air.
As he was playing one afternoon by the well, he heard a small voice by his ear.
"Hey there, Light!" the Plot Fairy, Mello, snickered. He smirked like he was waiting for the opportunity to do something evil. He was, of course.
"...Hello?" Light said, confused.
"Wow, that ball looks really fun!" Mello commented innocently.
"It is!" exclaimed the prince. "It's made of solid gold! I like to toss it up and down by this deep, dark, bottomless well here!"
"Really..." Mello murmured, obviously struck by an idea. "You want to know what would be really fun? Try tossing it up as high as you can!"
Light nodded, and gave it a shot. The ball flew up into the air, hovered for a moment, then plummeted back down. Light held out his hands to catch it, but just barely missed. The tiny ball plopped down into the well and sank down. Light gasped in fear and ran over to stare down into the murky depths. Mello cackled and vanished as Light watched the glint that was his ball disappear. He couldn't even see the bottom from up here!
The prince sat down on the edge and sighed. His ball was as good as gone. There was no way to get it back. It would be lost forever.
"I would give my fancy dresses, nice jewels, ANYTHING to have my ball back!" he wailed, sobbing quietly like a little girl. (coughUkecough)
"Hey..." The first call went unnoticed to the prince. "Hey!!" He shifted a little at the second. "HEY!! DOWN HERE!!"
After the voice yelled a third time, Light jumped and finally noticed the small frog that was sitting next to him.
"What's wrong?" it asked curiously.
"I lost my favorite ball in the well," Light sniffled, not even realizing that the frog could swim.
"I can get your ball for you," the frog said, causing Light's face to light up. "But I don't want any of your dresses, jewels, or material possessions, Light-kun. All I ask is that you bring me back to your castle, let me be your companion, let me eat from your plate, let me sleep in your bed, and let me live with you."
Light thought about this, and realized that the frog needed water, so it couldn't leave the well to live with him! He could get his ball from the frog and just leave!
"Sure! I promise! Just go get my ball!" Light replied, content with his plan. The frog seemed to nod before leaping into the water and disappearing. A minute or two later, it resurfaced with the golden ball in it's mouth.
Light jumped for joy at the sight of his golden ball. Then he grabbed it from the frog's mouth and ran off back to his castle.
"Light-kun!" the frog yelled after him. "Wait! I can't get to the castle on my own!"
"I believe I can help you out with that..." said Mello, reappearing just behind the well with that same malevolent smirk on his face.

That evening, Light was sitting at the dining room table and eating supper with his family when there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Light volunteered happily. He'd been in a good mood ever since he'd gotten his ball back, and had resumed playing his game in his room. There weren't any wells in his room.
He opened the door, only to see the very frog that had retrieved his ball standing there.
"Will Light-kun let me in?" it asked. Light slammed the door in it's face and ran back to the table. Panicking, he told his father about the frog and his ball and his promise. King Yagami shook his head sadly and replied,
"Well, son, you made a promise. You can't go back on your word. Go back there and let that frog in." Light hung his head. He had to listen to his father. He reluctantly shuffled over to the door and opened it up. The frog was still there, staring up at him expectantly.
"Come in..." Light muttered, holding the door open so the frog could hop in. They both went to the kitchen and Light sat back down in his seat and resumed eating. It wasn't long before he heard the frog hopping, and glanced down to see what was wrong.
"I want to sit up on the table so I can be next to Light-kun," the frog complained. Light had been about to refuse, until he saw his father's glare. Then he silently picked the frog up and set it on the table.
"What next? I suppose you'll want to eat from my plate?" Light sneered. The frog seemed to shake it's head 'no'.
"I would rather eat Light-kun's dessert, if he does not mind."
Light actually didn't mind that, so Queen Yagami went and brought back Light's dessert, a plate of strawberry cheesecake. Light nibbled at his dinner, and the frog ate up his dessert. Light remained silent. He didn't much like sweets anyways.
Once they were done, Light announced that he was going to bed. Of course, the frog followed along. Light picked the creature up and carried it there. The frog was a bit confused at the sudden act of kindness, but didn't protest.
However, once Light got into his room, he threw the frog into his closet and slammed the door shut.
"That takes care of that," he said to himself as he flopped down onto his bed. Within moments, he was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, in his closet sat a rather hot prince, very surprised at having been thrown into the closet. Nevertheless, L stood up and grabbed something of Light's to wear (he hadn't been wearing anything as a frog, so he didn't have anything of his own), dressing quickly before stepping out of the closet and into the room.
L silently padded over to the bed and hopped in, laying down peacefully next to Light. He didn't sleep, just lay there and thought. He found it rather interesting when Light rolled over and wrapped his arms around the frog prince, mumbling incoherently in his sleep.
--
To his dismay, Light woke up the next morning to find the frog and some of his clothes on his bed.
"What are my clothes doing here?" Light asked, confused.
"Um...I was cold?" the frog attempted to explain. Light shrugged and threw the clothes into the laundry basket.
"Whatever..."
The next day went similar to the last. The frog followed Light everywhere, eating all his desserts and hopping alongside him. At night, Light carried the frog up again, and threw him into his wardrobe before going to sleep. And again, L borrowed Light's clothes and lay down next to Light in bed.
The same passed for the next day and night, and then the following day. But the night following that day was different. That night, when Light threw L against the wall over his bed, the frog immediately transformed into a prince right before his eyes!
"HOLY CRAP THE FROG TURNED INTO AN EXTREMELY HOT PRINCE!!" Light screamed.
"I can explain!" L pleaded. "I was cursed by a witch who was jealous of how extremely hot I was (coughMISAcough) to be a frog until I could sleep in the same bed as a prince or princess for three days and not be thrown out a window. Light-kun has broken my curse, so now I am back to being a prince again."
Light blinked, taking this all in. "How many princes and princesses threw you out a window before?"
"Eleven."
"That sucks."
"Of course it did. I think I still have a glass shard in my back."
"...Well now that you're an extremely hot not-frog, will you marry me?"
"I've slept in the same bed as you for three nights and you're totally sexy. Why wouldn't I marry you?"
And so they got the glass shard out of L's shoulder and got married, and they all lived happily ever after. Except for the witch who cursed L. She was cursed back with the curse of being eternally haunted by Mello. Due to his constant saying of "Ice with that burn?", she developed pagophobia. (The fear of ice) And everyone laughed at her pain and suffering.
THE END
A/N: I dunno...This one just doesn't seem as funny to me...So I apoligize.
