Sunlight poured through the window in the morning, waking Prince Charming up. He sat up and yawned. "Good morning, Tiana." he mumbled. He looked beside him to find his wife not there. His eyes bulged as he remembered his nightmare from last night.

"Tiana?!" he called. He was about to go in panic mode, when he smelled the scent of Tiana's beignets cooking, and relief washed over him. She's just cooking breakfast Naveen, calm down. he thought to himself.

He jumped as the alarm clock went off in a frenzy. He snarled. He was already on edge, he didn't need that little thing startling him! "Stupid alarm clock!" Naveen growled. He took his pillow and threw it at the annoying alarm.

"Where did that come from?" he asked himself. He didn't like the annoying little thing (he really didn't know anyone who did), but he never got angry about it before…

"I am just hungry," he told himself. Smelling his wife's famous beignets, he made his way downstairs. He paused at the first step. The wife was nowhere to be seen. He tip-toed down a few more steps. The enemy was still not in range.

He followed the scent of the yummy pastries until he found them on the table. Just sitting there. This is too easy..The prince thought to himself. Still…They were his wife's cooking, yes? He had to take charge of this opportunity.

He looked around to make sure she was not watching. He reached for the yummy treat…

SLAP!!

"Ow!" Naveen grabbed his fingers. He sent a glare at his sneaky wife. "Was that truly necessary?" he asked.

Tiana smiled and twirled her spatula in her fingers. "You know the rules, baby: No breakfast until you help with it! C'mon, I got some flap jacks on the stove." She gave him another sly smile before turning back to her work.

Naveen sighed, but smiled. He picked up a spatula for himself and followed in pusuit. "I am sorry my princess, it is just that…the beignets! They were calling my name!" He made his voice high and shrill. "'Eat us! Eat us, Naveen! You know you want to!"

Tiana held back a laugh. Laughing would give the prince the upper hand. "Naveen.."

"It is not my fault, OK?" He interrupted. "Hey, YOU are the one who made the talking food!"

Tiana let out a little snort of laughter. "Would you rather I stopped making them?" she toyed with him.

Naveen stared at her for an entire minute and then headed for the stove. "I am sorry! What do need me to do, my darling?" He batted his eyes, innocently.

Tiana smiled and walked up beside him. "Start flippin', baby." She demonstrated by flipping the flap jacks with the spatula until it practically reached the ceiling.

Naveen stared at her before saying, "I know I am not the best cook in the world, must you rub it in my face?"

Tiana caught the flap jacks in the pan with flying colors. "Are you going to get better?" she retorted.

Naveen stuck his tongue out at her, playfully, then took the flipper and got to work. "Weird things went on with the band yesterday," he said as he worked.

Tiana got out some cups. "Oh really? Like what weird things?" She said, almost distractadly

Naveen sighed. "They say I spend more time waiting on the people then I do on stage. That is ridiculous! Everyone knows I try to do the opposite!"

Tiana walked up beside him. "Yeah. They do." She said giving him a knowing glance. He smiled, sheepishly.

"Those guys are unreasonable sometimes. They act like they own me or something,' he said.

Tiana pulled out some syrup., "They ain't worthy enough to hold my husband's soul." she joked.

Naveen smiled. "Aw, come here you." He grabbed her by the waist and leaned in for a kiss…

"Tia! Tia!" Came a giddy voice in the door way.

Naveen sighed. "Why did you give her a house key?" He asked.

Charlotte came in full of endless energy. "Tia!" she gave her friend a hug. "Navi!" She gave the prince a hug.

"Hello Lottie," Naveen smiled. Despite all the marriage confusion that went on between them, Naveen and Charlotte had become pretty good friends. They even used nicknames for each other.

Charlotte turned to Tiana. "Tia, we have to get to library! Remember that old book series we used to read when we were 14?"

Tiana thought for a moment. "The Little House Maid? (A/N: I'm making this up!) Yeah, I do."

Charlotte bounced up and down. "They're bringing it back! It's in the library! We need to get it!"

"Really? Lottie, I thought those books were gone for good!" Tiana turned to Naveen. "You want to come, baby?"

Naveen turned to face her, cheeks bulged. He quickly swallowed the flap jack he had sneaked in his mouth. "Oh, yes! Most definitely, just…what is a library?"

Tiana decided to let the flap jack go. "Naveen, don't they have libraries in Maldonia?" She walked over to a stack of papers, until she found the brochure of Maldonia sent by Naveen's parents. Just in case they ever wanted to live there.

She opened it up. "Yeah, right here baby." She gave the map to him.

Naveen took the time to read it. "Hey, Maldonia has a library! Who knew?" He gave her his sheepish smile.

Tiana turned back to Charlotte. "We'd love to go, but we haven't even had breakfast yet!"

Charlotte turned off the oven and grabbed the beignets. "We'll eat on the way! C'mon! I want to get these books before you have to go to work!" She quickly ran out the door.

"You ready to go?" Tiana asked her husband.

Naveen put on his favorite cap. "I'll say! That woman just ran off with my beignets!" He ran out the door, leaving Tiana laughing her head off at last.

"Tia, I haven't been here since forever!" Chalotte giggled as they entered the library. It was a nice little shop, with everyone sitting at a table reading their favorite books. It brought back memories for Tiana.

"Tiana!" Naveen whispered. "This 'library' place has books!" He held up one to prove his point.

Tiana giggled and said, "Lottie and I are going to look for our series. You can go explore while we look. I'm giving you a leash here Naveen, don't choke me with it!"

Naveen raised an eyebrow. "Yes mother." When he saw how serious she looked, he laughed. "Relax my princess, this is a book store! How can I break anything here?" His question was answered as he backed up and knocked over a cart of books.

CRASH!!!!!!

Everyone turned to look at them. Tiana gave him such a glare, Naveen decided to do the wisest thing he could think of. "Lottie! Be quiet! Some people are trying to read!"

Charlotte gave him a disbelieving look. "Wha-?"

"Hey!" Naveen interrupted. "Tiana is giving you a leash here! Do not choke her with it!" He turned to his wife. "You know I always have your back." Before she could say anything more, he walked off to the aisles.

He began humming to himself as he walked down the small aisles. "Might as well see what they have." He said to himself. He looked at the books on the top row.

"'How to Cook?' No, I am married to a cook book. Hee hee."

"''The Art of Dance'? I do not think I need help there."

"The History of Jazz? Ashidanza!"

He quickly grabbed the book, causing another book to fall on the floor. Naveen cursed in Maldonian and bent to pick it up. He paused as he looked at the title.

The Practice of Voodoo.

Naveen stared at the cover. It had a picture of shadow demons strangling the life out of their victim. He found himself smiling at the picture.

Slowly, very slowly, he put the Jazz book back on the shelf and reached for the voodoo book. He took a seat in a chair and began to read.

He read how voodoo came to be and the centuries of people using it. He read on how it sometimes changed reality. Then he turned to how it hurt people.

There was good voodoo and there was bad voodoo, it really depended on how you used it. You could you use it in the name of God, (Naveen imagined Mama Odie) or you could use it in the name of the Devil. (Like Dr. Faciliar)

He looked at all the good things you could do with voodoo. All the extrodinary wonders you could uncover. Yeah right! Naveen…thought? It was coming from his head. All this goody- goody fairy tale talk makes me sick!

Naveen turned the page to see the bad kind of voodoo. Victims were in pain, suffering, and their souls were trapped in the….other side.

Now isn't this lovely! came his 'thoughts'. Look at them! You can practically feel the agony going through them! Those poor unfortunate souls! Naveen chuckled.

This is the future! The bright future! The Age of the Shadows!Naveen quickly shook his head. What was he thinking!? Why was he even reading this book?!!? Not caring it was a library book, he threw it on the floor.

He took a few breaths and then walked over to the librarian. "Um ma'am, if I may be so bold, you know t-that voodoo book you own? The Practice of Voodoo? Well, this is just my personal opinion, I think it would make some people very uncomfortable." Like myself, he thought.

The librarian raised an eyebrow. "Whatchoo talkin 'bout, sweetie? We don't have any books on voodoo!"

"Naveen, you haven't said a word since we left." Tiana said as they reached the door to Tiana's Palace.

Naveen sighed. "I just read a few weird books while I was there." Why couldn't he bring himself to tell his wife the full truth?

Tiana shrugged. "I'm sure everything will be fine once you play your Jazz." She put the key in the lock. "Are you ready?"

Naveen gave a little gasp. "What did you say?" He looked her over to see if she was for real.

Tiana opened the door to the restaurant. "Are you ready?" she asked, concern in her voice.

Naveen shook his head. I must get that witch doctor out of my head! he thought as he entered the building.

Tiana had asked if he was ready.

No. No he was not.

He was not prepared for anything that would happen that day.

I know there was more comedy then there was horror, but it won't be that way for long! Starting with the next chapter…

Note: I'm sorry, I know this is random, but I need to share this. You know how Tiana hated Naveen at first because he was a spoiled brat? Helllloooooo?? She was best friends with an even bigger one! Who agrees with me!?
