Summary: The Frog Princess, Death Note style. A wayward arrow causes Light to get stuck marrying a frog, but thigns turn out differently than he'd expected.

Spoilers: Um...Matt, Mello, Takada, and Mikami appear. But that's it.

A/N: Okay, I procrastinated again, and kinda ran out of time for this one. So this might not be all that great.

...This kingdom has one weird way to get people married though, that's for sure.

(Insert fairy-tale-like intro here)...

There was a grand King named Soichiro with three sons: Mikami, Matt, and Light. One day, King Soichiro looked at his calender and gasped. His sons were all men now, which meant they had to be married. Yeah, they had to be married right then and there. No later than that very day.

Soichiro called his sons to the room and commanded them to make a bow and fire an arrow off into the distance. Then they would marry whoever brought back the arrow.

"Wow. That's some way to get married," Matt commented, lighting up a smoke as he and the other sons went to make their bows.

An hour later, all three sons had a bow and arrow and stood outside, waiting to fire them. Mikami, the eldest son, went first, and he shot his arrow away. There was a high-pitched shriek, then a beautiful girl came back with the arrow, looking a little shocked.

"Is this yours?" asked Takada, the daughter of another king.

"Yes it is. Marry me?" Mikami asked with a smile on his face. Takada nodded, and the two of them stood together as Matt, the second oldest, fired his arrow. It sailed off and over the horizon, falling out of sight. Moments after they lost sight of it, a very loud string of curses rang through the air. The group waited, and soon enough a furious blond stormed up, the arrow in his hand and a bleeding flesh wound in his shoulder.

"Who the hell is firing off arrows?! I'm freaking bleeding here!" Mello roared, glaring at everyone.

Matt practically drooled at the hot blonde, pulling his goggles down to hang around his neck so he could get a better look.

"Marry me!" he practically commanded.

Mello blinked, slightly confused. Then he grinned. "Sure!"

And so, Mello joined the group in watching as Light readied his own arrow to find the person he would marry.

Light pulled the string back, aimed for where he remembered a castle with a princess-to-be, and prepared to launch the arrow.

However, as he let go of the string, he sneezed. The sneeze messed up his aim and caused the arrow to instead go flying into a nearby swamp. Light gaped, greatly disappointed by this outcome. Just moments later, a frog hopped out holding the arrow in his mouth.

Everyone remained silent, understanding that now Light had to marry a frog. Matt was the first one to speak his mind.

"As I said before," he commented. "This is some way to get married."

A week later, all three sons were married to their brides in one grand wedding. The frog was given a tall stool to stand on so that he was the same height as Light. Everyone (except for poor Light) was joyful on this fantastic occasion.

Some time later, King Soichiro decided to test all of his sons' wives. First, he decided to see how well they could sew. He commanded all of the women to sew him a nice shirt. At this, Takada laughed spitefully at Light.

"How can a frog sew?!" she mocked, strolling off to sew a shirt.

Mello shrugged as he followed after her. "Ten bucks says the frog manages to sew a better shirt than you," he said with a smirk.

"You're on!" They shook on it, and the two had a bet.

Light stormed up to his room with his frog-spouse before flinging himself onto the bed. "How are you ever going to sew a shirt for my dad?" he whined. "You're a FROG!"

The frog simply shrugged, and watched as Light fell asleep for the night. Once Light was out like...Well, like a light, the little frog hopped out of the room and out by the swamp.

Once there, he removed his magical frog costume and turned back from a frog into a normal person, immediately pulling out a cell phone. He simply pushed a couple buttons and the first (and only) number on his speed dial was called. Within moments, the call had been answered.

"Watari?" L began. "I need your help."

—

The next morning, the sons and wives were all due to turn in the shirts they'd sewn. Light frowned as he woke up, remembering that all he had was a frog. But when he sat up and looked around, he noticed a finely sewn shirt sitting next to him, and a very happy looking frog next to it.

Light gasped, shocked, but he grinned nonetheless as he brought the shirt and his frog down to the main room and presented the shirt to his father.

Soichiro's face lit up in surprise and glee at the fantastic shirt that Light's frog-spouse had somehow managed to sew.

"This is truly a shirt fit for a king!" he exclaimed. Then he glanced over to his other two sons and their spouses. Takada walked up and presented her shirt with a smile. Soichiro picked it up and inspected it closely.

"This shirt is horrible! It's only fit for a peasant!" he scoffed, tossing it out the window. (Where is was then picked up by a very lucky peasant.) Takada gaped, shocked.

Mello laughed, walking up and tapping Takada's shoulder. "Ten bucks, Missy!" he exclaimed as he merely held up his shirt for King Soichiro to see. It was a black and white striped shirt with a fancily embroidered 'M' on it.

Soichiro blinked, confused. "Why is there an M on it?"

Mello shrugged as he accepted a ten dollar bill from Takada. "Because I can't sew so I figured that since you'd hate it I could give it to Matt," he explained, already walking off to find his husband. Takada followed, feeling awful and jealous of Light's frog. Light, however, danced off happily with his favorite frog.

—

The next day, Soichiro announced that there would be another test, this one about cooking. Each wife (or husband, in the case of Mello and the frog) had to bake a loaf of bread, and the winner would receive a brand new toaster oven!

Takada was hell bent on winning this one and defeating that little frog, so she decided to spy on L to see how he did it. It was a genius plan, she thought, and she hid just outside the kitchen to watch the frog's movement.

Light frowned, a little worried about his frog-husband near a hot oven (and sticking his slimy flippers into bread dough), but he trusted his spouse, and so dropped the frog off into the kitchen before going off to bed again.

The frog noticed Takada, and so he decided to trick her. He made the bread dough normally, but at the end he mixed things up a little. He poured an entire bottle of hot sauce into the dough, mixed it up, then simply tossed it right into the fire, not even bothering to use a rack.

Takada stared on in shock for a moment, then ran off to do the same with her own bread.

Meanwhile, the frog hopped off to the outdoors and abck to the swamp where he again removed his magical costume and transformed back into his human self.

"Sucker..." he mumbled with a smirk as he again dialed Watari.

"Yes, L?" the elderly man asked.

"Watari, I need the finest loaf of bread that could possibly be baked to be brought to me at the castle."

"Of course, L."

—

The next day, things went about the same. Light woke up to find the frog with exactly the requested thing beside him, and they both merrily went to the main room. The bread was presented, and Soichiro was delighted.

Takada's loaf, however, was so back and burnt (and smelled of hot sauce) that Soichiro didn't even try it before tossing it into the garbage. Takada glared at the frog, realizing that she'd been tricked. (It took that long to notice?)

Mello then ran in with his bread: A chocolate covered loaf of bread with chocolate chips baked into it. It looked so chocolate-y, that Soichiro didn't even bother trying it. (Mello seemed quite pleased with this, however, and ran off while proclaiming, "More for me!")(Note: We suspect that Mello may have done this on purpose. Give him more chocolate as a reward for his smart thinking.)(Mello Note: "Yeah, you're jealous! I can tell!")

Then, Soichiro declared that there would be a dance that night. Light frowned, realizing that he couldn't dance with a frog. (He ignored Takada's laughing.) But the frog reassured him that it would be okay.

"Just go to the ball. I'll meet you there," said the frog. Light decided to trust the frog, and so he went off to the ball and waited patiently for his husband to arrive.

L again went out to the swamp and removed his costume before heading over to the ball. Everyone was stunned by his beauty, especially Light and Takada. The former beamed, while the latter fumed. Takada was FURIOUS. So L could sew, cook, AND he was hot? Boy, was she jealous!

Light, however, pounced on L in a sort of hug and the two proceeded to party. L stole some old bones from the trash and put them in one sleeve as everyone watched in confusion, then he poured some water down his other sleeve. Then, when he and Light started to dance, L shook each of his sleeves. When he shook the sleeve he'd put bones into, beautiful magical swirls flew out and dazzled the audience. When he shook his other sleeve, a flurry of doves flew out to chirp a tune.

Takada mimicked L's actions, but when she shook her sleeves, all she got were the bones and water she'd put in there. Disappointed, she went back to her husband and danced. (At this point in time, Matt and Mello had already gone up to Matt's room for some alone time, not even bothering to dance. Now MELLO had the right idea, unlike Takada.)

Once they'd finished dancing, Light excused himself and ran off. He'd spotted L heading towards the swamp once, and figured that might be a good place to look for the costume. When he found it, he burned it. He didn't want L to be a frog again! He liked his hot husband just the way he was! (Frogs were rather odd to kiss, after all.)

But when Light and L went to bed that night and L realized his disguise was gone, he sighed in disappointment.

"If only Light-kun had waited longer," he mumbled, climbing out the window and running away.

Light awoke sadly to find that his hot husband had vanished, so he decide to go off to find him. He dashed off to the swamp to investigate and soon arrived upon a small cottage. He knocked on the door and was met with a rather attractive woman. (Though not nearly as hot as L, in Light's opinion.)

"Welcome!" Wedy exclaimed with a smile. "How can I help you out?"

"I'm looking for L," he explained. "Have you seen him?"

"Oh, you just missed him!" she gasped. "He's getting remarried, due to some odd tradition thing. Go check with my brother down the road. He knows more!"

Light nodded and thanked her before running off to the next house. When he knocked on the door, it was answered by Wedy's brother, Aiber.

"What's up?" he asked, curiously.

"Where can I find L?" Light asked, getting straight to the point.

"Oh, he'd over with Watari, getting remarried. When you get there, L will turn into a spool for some reason and his clothes will turn into string. Watari will wind the string around the spool and lock it in a box," Aiber explained. "You have to find the key, open the box, break the spool in half, toss one part over your shoulder, and throw the other to the ground. And then you'll find L."

Light blinked, taking it all in. Then he asked the question on everyone's mind: "Why?"

Aiber shrugged. "Beats me. Hurry up though."

Light nodded, determined, before dashing off to find Watari's house. Upon his arrival, all the events that Aiber had predicted unfolded. Being the genius that he was, Light soon sound the key, opened the box, broke the spool, and tossed the different ends. Then, his love appeared in front of him.

L checked his watch and blinked. "Light-kun is late," he announced.

Light didn't care, and he simply hoisted L up into his arms and ran all the way back to the castle where they both lived happily ever after for the rest of their lives.

THE END

Epilogue:

Misa arrived at Watari's house with a smile on her face. Her plan was perfect! She would marry L and make Light jealous, and then bribe Light into marrying her instead! It was flawless!

At least, until she realized that Light had already taken L back. She then proceeded to cry her heart out from sorrow. Watari brought her some tissues. (He's nice, isn't he?)

Then, out of nowhere, a bucket of ice fell on her head and she heard Mello yell, "ICE WITH THAT BURN?!"

The ice was then followed up by a tennis ball served right at her head, knocking her unconscious. Matt then yelled, "LOL! You got SERVED!"

And they all lived happily ever after. (Except for Misa, of course. Poor girl. If L and Light weren't so hot together, I'd feel sorry for her.)

A/N: The ending was a bit rushed, sorry. I ran out of time.
