"So," she ব্যক্ত slowly, "You two seem like a happy couple. But tell me Tiana, is Naveen well equipped অথবা is that big দুর্গ of his supposed to be compensating for something?"
"Beg your pardon?" asked Tiana.
"You know, the family jewels, are they the kind you'd want on an engagement ring অথবা the kind আপনি mistake for a sequin from the Dollar Store?"
Tiana still looked unsure.
"Does he have a big penis?" মটর rolled her eyes. "God, some of these goody-goodies just don't understand my metaphors. Anyway, what kingdom are আপনি from?"
"Oh, I'm only royal দ্বারা marriage," Tiana laughed. "I was a waitress before I met Naveen."
Pea's jaw dropped. "A waitress? That's one step up from being the bird lady Mary Poppins sings about. Geez, Naveen, I can't believe আপনি settled for a commoner."
"What can I say?" chuckled Naveen, his voice sexy as usual. "I fell in love."
"It's just as easy to fall in প্রণয় with a rich person as it is to fall for a poor person. That's what my mother always told me," answered Pea. "I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a peasant. Gross...no offence, Tiana."
"None taken," she replied, through clenched teeth.
Pea's words stung Conrad on the হৃদয় a little bit because he had started to grow quite fond of her, although he didn't have a lot to offer. Just then, the four arrived at Mama Odie's hut in the bayou. The little old lady came swinging down a vine, laughing psychotically. She had sunglasses on her face and a snake on her shoulder.
"Are আপনি sure she doesn't belong in the loonie bin?" মটর asked Tiana. "She looks like a total whack-job."
"Well, well, well," ব্যক্ত Mama Odie. "Tiana and Naveen, nice seein' ya again. The last time I saw y'alls আপনি two were a couple of frogs turning human."
"You two were frogs?" inquired Conrad.
"Long story," answered Naveen.
"Listen, Mama Odie, I just need আপনি to use your magic wand অথবা whatever it is আপনি do and turn back time...bring me back to the time before I was exiled, when I was truly happy."
"Were আপনি happy though, Pea?"
"Ugh! Yes!" মটর was annoyed. "Why does no one believe me when I say I loved my old life, it's all I want!"
"Child, sometimes it ain't about what আপনি want," replied the strange woman. "It's about what আপনি need...Someday you'll figure that out. But until then, I can't help ya!" With that, she returned to her hut.
"We traveled all this way for that?" yelled Pea. "I could've gotten আরো useful উপদেশ from Dr. Phil! God, this is hopeless!"
"Thanks for all your help guys," ব্যক্ত Conrad politely. "I'm sure we'll be fine. See আপনি around."
Tiana and Naveen waved goodbye and headed back to New Orleans.
"Pea," ব্যক্ত Conrad. "I know that things are gonna work out in the end...I promise you. No matter what happens, I'll be দ্বারা your side."
"Well, what are we gonna do?" asked Pea, fighting back tears. "Hmm...wait a second...I think I just thought of our পরবর্তি method of transportation..."
মটর and Conrad spent the পরবর্তি two and a half hours building a ভেলা out of wood, branches, and vines.
Mama Odie watched proudly through her window from above.
"You know what?" she ব্যক্ত to her snake. "I truly think she's gonna be okay. That princess is smarter than anyone gives her credit for."
