Opening/Nadia's Restaurant Dream

The Princess and the Frog Parodies Studios present....

*(We open on a beautiful night in New Orleans, Louisiana, where a lone bright star shines in the sky as a female voice is heard singing in the background)*

Woman: (Voice-over) **The evening star is shining bright**

**So, make a wish, and hold on tight**

**There’s magic in the air tonight**

**And anything can happen**

*(In a little girl/pink princess-themed bedroom of a mansion as the background song ended, two girls were listening to a story that is being read by a woman. The first girl is a 5 year old girl with tan skin, short dark purple neck-length hair, sea green eyes, and wearing a red short-sleeved dress with poofy sleeves and a gold yellow Peter Pan collar and sleeve rims, a white sash around her waist that is tied in a bow in the back, white socks, black Mary Jane shoes, and a small gold yellow crown on her head. She is Nadia La Arwall. The last girl is a 3 year old female pony-like human with pale pink skin, light blue eyes, short curly magenta hair in little pigtails, and wearing two blue bauble beads in her hair, a blue hennin with a yellow cointoise, a blue short-sleeved dress with poofy sleeves and a yellow peplum, eight white ruffled petticoats, a light red diamond necklace, white undergarment pants with poofy legs and white frilly ankle rims, white stockings, and pink Mary Jane shoes, and carries a yellow toy wand with a pink heart shaped emblem on the top. She was also hugging a kitten. She is Pinkie Pie (Or in this fanmake, Pinkie Pie Simpson), Nadia's best friend. And the kitten is a female kitten with white fur, triangular ears with pink interiors, navy blue eyes, a little pink nose, small black whiskers, and wearing a pink collar with a gold cat tag with the letter “M” engraved on it. She is, well, Pinkie Pie's pet cat)*

Woman: (Reading “The Yoshi Prince”) "Just in that moment, the weird little Yoshi looked up with his sad round eyes and pleaded, 'Oh please, dear princess. Only a kiss from you can break this terrible spell that was inflicted on me by a wicked witch.'"

Pinkie Pie: (Whispering, to Nadia) Here comes my favorite part!

*(Pinkie Pie hugs her cat tightly, much to her discomfort and making her meow uncomfortably. The woman turned the next page of the book she's reading from while she was working on a pink ribbon. She is a young woman with tan skin, short blonde neck-length hair, violet eyes, and wearing a pale blue short-sleeved dress with a white neck collar flap and sleeve rims and three small white plastic buttons, a white apron tied around her waist, and pale blue slipper-like shoes . She is Electra La Arwall, Nadia's mother, and she is reading the book and working on the ribbon at the same time)*

Electra: (Reading) "And the beautiful princess" *(Ties the ribbon to the waist of a nearby dummy)* "Was so moved by his desperate plea, that she stooped down, picked up the slippery, scaly creature with the stubby tail and frog-like tongue...."

*(As Nadia and Pinkie Pie leaned closer to listen to the story, Pinkie Pie nodded eagerly while Nadia shook her head in disgust and worry)*

Electra: (Reading) "Leaned forward, raised him to her lips...." *(She turns the next page)* "And kissed that little Yoshi."

Pinkie Pie: (Lovestruck, hugging her cat some more) Aw!

*(Pinkie Pie's cat squirmed out of her owner's grasp and landed on the floor next to Nadia, who only gagged a bit in disgust)*

Electra: (Reading as she finished cutting the sash of the ribbon so that it would fit the dress that Pinkie Pie will be wearing later) "Then the Yoshi was transformed into a handsome prince." *(She picks up a pair of silver scissors with a black handle to finish the ribbon cutting)* "They were married and lived happily ever after. The end!"

Pinkie Pie: (Happily) Yay!

*(But she fell backwards, much to Nadia's amusement. Even Electra chuckled a bit in amusement while Pinkie Pie giggled excitedly a bit)*

Pinkie Pie: (Excitedly) Read it again, read it again!

Electra: (Helping Pinkie Pie up) Sorry, Pinkie Pie. It's time for us to be heading home.

*(She puts the ribbon on Pinkie Pie's dress around her waist in the front as the latter giggled a bit again)*

Electra: And besides, Homer should be here any minute, but I could read it to you another time.

Pinkie Pie: (Agreeing happily) Good idea.

Electra: Say good night, Nadia.

Nadia: (To Electra in agreement) Yes. *(To Pinkie Pie)* Good night. *(Immediately changes the subject defensively, folding her arms in defiance)* And there is no way, in this whole wide world, I would ever, ever, ever, I mean ever, kiss a reptile like a Yoshi. Yuck!

*(Pinkie Pie gave out a smug smile)*

Pinkie Pie: (Smugly) Is that so?

*(Then she placed a dinosaur sock mask on her cat’s head)*

Pinkie Pie: (Smirking playfully) Well, here's your Prince Charming, Nadia!

*(She then playfully shoved her cat against Nadia's face, much to the 5 year old's disgust and the cat's discomfort)*

Pinkie Pie: (Playfully) Come on, kiss him!

Nadia: (Disgusted) No!

Pinkie Pie: (Playfully) Yes! Yes!

Nadia: (Defensively, shoving Pinkie Pie's cat down) Stop it!

Pinkie Pie: (Continuing to shove her cat in Nadia's face) Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!

Nadia: (Pushing Pinkie Pie down to the floor) I won't, I won't, I won't!

Pinkie Pie: (Picking herself up, smiling playfully as she hugs her cat, much to her discomfort) I would do it! I would kiss a Yoshi! I would kiss a hundred Yoshis if I could marry a prince and be a princess.

*(She then kissed her cat's cheek, causing her to screech a bit, jump onto the ceiling, and hang onto it with her claws. Nadia and Pinkie Pie laughed a bit to see that sight, but Electra was not impressed)*

Electra: (Scoldingly) You girls stop tormenting that poor kitty!

*(She then got the tormented cat off the ceiling and took the dinosaur sock mask off the latter's head)*

Electra: (Voice-over, sympathetically) Poor little thing.

*(The panicked cat landed on her stomach and walked away in fear, using her claws, and Electra smiled warmly. Just then, a man walked in. He is a young fat, yellow skinned human man with short brown hair, white eyes that lack visible irises with black pupils, a gray 5 o'clock shadow, and wearing a white short-sleeved collar-flapped shirt, blue pants, and gray shoes. He is Homer Simpson, Pinkie Pie's father)*

Homer: Evening, Electra!

*(Pinkie Pie ran up to Homer, showing him her new dress)*

Pinkie Pie: (Excitedly) Daddy, Daddy, look at my new dress! Isn't it pretty?

Homer: (Laughs a bit) Look at you!

*(Homer picked up his daughter and walked over to Electra, who is now wearing a tan long-sleeved knee-length coat with beige neck and sleeve rims, and buttons and a plum colored hat with a light blue band over her other clothes)*

Homer: Why, I'd expect nothing less from the finest seamstress in New Orleans.

*(Pinkie Pie then looked at the princess' dress in her book)*

Pinkie Pie: (Pointing to the dress) Ooh, I want *that* dress!

*(Homer turned to his daughter in disbelief and put his left hand on his left hip)*

Homer: (Firmly) Oh, now sugar, come on.

Pinkie Pie: (Tugging on her father's hair on his head, much to his discomfort) I want that one! Please, please, please, please?!

*(Homer, still getting his hair tugged on, turned to Electra)*

Homer: (Uncomfortably) Electra, you suppose you can whip something up like that?

Electra: Anything for my best customer.

*(She pointed to Pinkie Pie's collection of dresses in different colors. They were fuchsia, pink, mint blue, periwinkle, purple, lavender, blue, light blue, yellow, and red respectively)*

Pinkie Pie: (Excitedly) Yay!

Electra: (As she and Nadia started to leave) Come along, Nadia. Your father should be home from work by now.

*(She took Nadia's hand, which she accepted Electra’s hand in return, and they left the bedroom. Nadia is now wearing a green long-sleeved knee-length coat with light green neck and sleeve rims and buttons over her other clothes. When Nadia and Electra left, Homer placed his daughter on her bed)*

Homer: (Firmly) Now princess, you're getting that dress, but that's it! No more Mr. Pushover!

*(He then took out a male Greyhound puppy, who happily barks a bit)*

Homer: (Playfully) Now, who wants a puppy?

Pinkie Pie: (Excitedly) I do, I do! *(Holding onto her new puppy as he happily licked her a bit)* Oh, he's so cute!

*(Outside, Nadia and Electra left the mansion and hopped onto the train heading for their neighborhood. When the train stopped at their neighborhood, they went to the direction of their house. Later at her house, Nadia was helping a man, who is apparently her father and Electra's husband, make some gumbo)*

Man: (Voice-over) Mmm! Gumbo smells good, Nadia.

Nadia: (Stirring the gumbo) I think it's done, Dad.

*(Standing next to her is a 46 year old man with short brown hair and mustache, brown eyes, and wearing a white captain’s hat with a black bill, a gray upper part, and a gold badge and lining, a gray long-sleeved turtleneck shirt, a medium blue sleeveless vest with white lining and gold buttons, a brown leather belt with a bronze buckle, medium blue pants, brown knee-high boots, brown gloves, and a brown long, flowing, ankle-length coat with red and tan lining. He is Captain Nemo La Arwall, Nadia's father and Electra's husband, and he is standing next to Nadia while making the gumbo with her help)*

Nemo: Yes. Are you sure?

Nadia: (Nodding her head) Mm-hm.

Nemo: (Playfully putting his hands on his hips) Absolutely positive?

Nadia: (Playfully putting her hands on her hips and smiling proudly) Yes.

*(Nemo then took the spoon and was about to taste the yummy concoction while his daughter thought for a second)*

Nemo: Okay, I'm about the put this spoon in my...!

Nadia: (Catching him) Wait!

*(She took the spoon from her father, who chuckled a bit. Then she put two shots of tabasco sauce in the gumbo, stirred a bit, tasted the gumbo, and smacked her lips)*

Nadia: (Satisfied) Done.

*(It was Nemo's turn to taste the gumbo. He did so. Then he thought for a minute)*

Nadia: (Worried) What?

Nemo: (Pretends to ponder while looking at his daughter) This is the...! *(Happily picks her up and hugs her)* Best gumbo I've ever tasted! *(Playfully)* Come here!

*(Nadia laughed a bit as her father held her and Nemo* *walked over to Electra, who was busy sewing a new dress for* *Pinkie Pie. When she went up to her husband,* *Nemo* *put his other arm around her)*

Nemo: (Proudly) Electra, our little girl's got a gift!

Electra: (Smiling) I could've told you that.

Nemo: A gift this special has just got to be shared.

*(Knowing what Nemo meant, Nadia went outside and called out to their neighbors, who are their friends)*

Nadia: (Voice-over, calling out to the neighbors) Hey everybody! I made gumbo!

*(Hearing her, their neighbors got eager and came over)*

Female neighbor 1: (Voice-over) Mmm, that smells good!

*(The other neighbors gathered at the front porch, bringing their food)*

Male neighbor 1: (Voice-over) I got some hushpuppies, Nadia. Here I come!

*(Later, they ate gumbo at the porch with Nadia and her parents. Later that same night in the nursery, Nemo, Electra, and Nadia, in her pajamas, were sitting on the right side of Nadia’s bed. Nadia is now wearing a lemon yellow long-sleeved pajama jacket with buttons and lemon yellow long pajama pants)*

Nemo: You know the thing about good food?

Nadia: (Shakes her head no a bit) No, what?

Nemo: It warms them right up and it puts little smiles on their faces. *(Takes out a flyer for a certain restaurant)* And when I open up my own restaurant, I tell you, people are going to line up from miles around, just to get a taste of my food.

Nadia: (Correcting her father) *Our* food.

Nemo: (Chuckling a bit) That's right, dear.

*(He wrote the words, "Nadia's Place," on the flyer with a pen)*

Nemo: Our food.

*(Then he gave his daughter the flyer, and she hugged it. She then looked out the window and gasped)*

Nadia: Dad, look!

*(She crawled on her bed to the window)*

Nemo: (Curiously) Where are you going?

Nadia: (Pointing at the lone bright star) Pinkie's fairytale book said if you make a wish on the evening star, it is sure to come true*.*

Electra: (Smiling and chuckling warmly a bit) Well, you wish on that star, dear.

Nemo: Yes, you wish and you dream with all your little heart. But remember, Nadia, that old star can only take you part of a way. You got to help it with some hard work of your own. And then *(Gently pats her right cheek a bit)* you can do anything you set your mind to.

*(Nemo and Electra got up off the bed, with Electra walking behind Nemo, and placed her hands on his shoulders)*

Nemo: Just promise me one thing?

Nadia: And what's that?

Nemo: You must never, ever lose sight of what is really important. Okay?

*(Nadia smiled and nodded her head)*

Nadia: I promise.

*(Nemo chuckled warmly a bit)*

Nemo: Good girl.

*(Then Electra tucked Nadia into bed)*

Electra: See you in the morning, dear.

*(She kisses her good night)*

Nemo: Get some sleep.

Nadia: Good night.

*(Electra then turned out the light, walked out with her husband, and closed the door. When they were gone, Nadia opened her eyes, crawled on the bed to the window, and looked at the star. She looked at the flyer, then at the star. She then closed her eyes and hugged her flyer)*

Nadia: (Whispering) Please, please, please.

*(She then noticed something nearby her and looked next to her to see a gecko. The gecko then made a hiss-sounding croak-like noise, causing Nadia to scream a bit in a panic as the gecko jumped off the window sill and ran off. Nadia then ran out of her bedroom to find her parents in fear)*

***Coming up: Years later, Nadia, proudly seeing that she's "Almost there," is doing good earning enough money to open her dream restaurant in the now late Nemo's memory, working a lot more on her waitress duties than spending some fun times with her friends. At the same time, a certain prince from another kingdom has just arrived in New Orleans and Pinkie Pie, along with her three siblings, invites Nadia and her pet to come to her home's masquerade ball the said prince will also attend to sell some beignets.***
