Grimm Tales: The Frog Prince

Unlike all the other days, this time Alex had a different kind of class altogether. Mrs Delia Deets was out on vacation and it fell to Alex to substitute her Biology class. Today was wrather special indeed, they had to do a disection of frogs. Many of the students asked for other animals....cats, dogs, sheep, pig fetuses, goats. He was bored already, why cant they just open a Grey's Anatomy book and just study that. He asked them to pair off. Of course he seen miss Jessica Porterland teaming up with a one William McLaori. Jessica was not on the cheerleading team, but she was very...very attractive. She strived to be a super model. Never too fat, never too thin, just the right hieght and dimensions. To top it off she had emerald green eyes, hip length blonde hair that was thick and full, and a peaches n cream complexion that made her look more alive than Briteny Spears. He knew what she was after, an easy A. Enter William McLaori. A skinny, toothpick of a kid with an odd shape to boot. He was all skin and bones, with a long narrow mouth and a skin discolortation on his neck. The poor kid would wear turtle necks all year around to hide the surigcal scars he had gotten later until the doctors can cover it up completely.

Now Alex felt sorry for the kid. Its boiling in the school in the late winter and he is wearing a full cotten swetter with a scarf to boot! He knew what the kids called him. Frog boy, stick man, lizard lips. Yes the kid wasn't attractive but at least he had a heart of gold and an IQ of almost 930. These where the kind of guys labled a frog prince of an ugly duckling. They start off horrible looking then in time they become a handsom prince and get the girl. Well almost, you see Billy was also in the class, as per Alex's request. BIlly(as you all know from previous installments as the head of the wrestling team and weight lifting) was failing several classes, and though he stood up to many of the faculty, something about Alex made him get in line and attend class. Jessica wanted him of course. One of the most beauitufl girls in school on the arm of the biggest, strongest man on campus. Unfortunetly for Alex, seating Billy was a tad challanging. The guy took up a two man table all by himself. He was instructed to sit on the floor since the swivle stools were doubted to support his weight. The other downside is that he is also the odd man out on finding a lab partner so Alex had to fill in for that himself.

He handed them each a frog, they where dead of course, he poisoned them himself to spare them the indignity of being put out with cloraphorm and then cut open and die in their sleep. The students where squeemish. Alex however had his nose stuck in his story book while he was cutting open the frog prefectly without looking. Why not? He lived long enough to know how to perform surgery without even looking (good thing too since he cannot stand the site of blood and guts for too long, although it fascinates him its more the smell then the visual that eventually makes him hurl). Jessica did not want to cut the frog open, she instead wanted to read her latest issue of Vogue. William reminded her that Alex said both teammates have to do something not just one person. With a heavy sigh she opens the lab book and starts to point boredly at where he is supposed to be cutting.

Jessica-"Hey William?"
William-"Yes Jessica?"
Jessica-"Do you have my homework for biology and calculus?"
William slides the backpack over to her with his foot, "Ready and a gaurunteed A."
Jessica-"Thanks Will...."

William moves her hand so he can make sure the scalple is over the right part of the frog. She cringes and recoils her hand. His fingers where long and thin, it was like seeing a hairless pink tarauntula climb across the book as he fingered each word trying to find the right insicion line. The only reason she put up with him for this long is because he is a brain, other wise she would never be caught dead outside of class socializing with the likes of him. William pulls his hand back, and adjusts his scarf and looks at Jessica.

William-"Hey, uhm....Jessica..."
Jessica-...*sigh* Yes?"
William-"Dont forget that Latte we were gonna share at the Cafe later. You promised..."
Jessica-"............"
William-"Well?......"
Jessica-"*sigh* Fine fine ill have coffe with you, now can we please get to work?"

William nods his head and begins cutting, using the forceps to pull back the skin he cuts ever so lightly so he doesnt cut through the bones of the rib cage yet. Jessica squirms and tries not to gag. Then she notices part of William's scarf is undone. As he moves the scarf unravels more, revealing the scar that has risen up above the collar of the swetter like a red climbing vine. She tries not to say anything but the mere site of it repulses her and she pokes him, almost making him make a bad cut in the Y insision of the chest to expose the heart and lungs.

Jessica-"OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT?!!!"pointing at the skin discoloration on his neck.
William covers it back up with his scarf.-"Its just a birthmark...."He feels embarrased as the rest of the class begins to direct their eyes at him. Jessica merely fakes being sick from the frogs and leaves the class. William slumps down, feeling upset at what just happened.

Alex places his hand on william's shoulder and smile, "Dont feel down, I will go handle this..." he looks at the students, "BACK TO WORK!" He grabs his leather book and marches after Jessica. He did not have to search far, he found her near the water fountain, texting her friends on whats going on, looking proud of herself while she checks out her lithe figure in the nearby fountain mirror.

Alex-"That was very rude...Jessica was it?"
She looks him up and down, as if deciding to scoff at his odd clothes or to acknowledge he is even there. She then goes back to her phone. Alex growls at her and takes the phone away, with a quick flip of his wrists the phone vanishes into thin air. "Now my dear I have a story for you...."

Jessica-"I am not in one of your kindergarden grade classes you weirdo!"
Alex-"No but while I am here to each, god forbid you be one of my students...you will learn something!" he vhoses the book in her face as it opens itself up to the chapter of the Frog Prince. Her eyes are drawn to the gold lettering, the shimmering glow of the words as they drag her into a fairytale thats far old.

------in the story-----
There was once a princess, who was exeedingly vain and selfish. Her room was covered in paintings of her, mirrors of every shape and size, large windows to let the sun in no matter the time of day, and what seemed like an endless supply of clothes and jewelry. She would spend hours trying on different dresses. Some she did not like because they did not show off her breasts enough, others did not feel like the complimented her beauty enough. By the time she even chose a decent dress to her liking, the sun was gone and she could not gawk at herself in the mirror any more. She beleived that beauty is what wins a man's heart, that its how you look in court and to the peasents that count.

She has been desperetly trying to impress the baron. He was young,
handsom, strong, and most of all rich. If she did not spend all day trying to pick out a dress she would of spent more time with him, such a shame really, most of the house staff would love to be rid of her. One in particular is poor gregory. Gregory was a craftsman who built many marvelous works for the nobels. For this particular kind and his daughter he spent months crafting an ornate well in the courtyard. The king did not like having his daughter wander the forest just to gaze into a well and admire her beauty.

Gregory however was not so fortunate, the years of toil scared his face. To the princess he might as well had been a leper. Sher did not care for the well, it did not make her look any more attractive then what she already was. She refused the cup offered to her by Gregory and marched off to the woods, determined to go look into that well again. Gregory watched, with a slight longing in his eyes.

She gazed into the well, admiring her beauty as if the well as magic. She dropped the bucket down into the water, and pulls it back up, pouring herself a glass to drink. She enjoyed the cool water, toasting her own reflection as it shimmered like a glittering goddess. She did not think anything else on this earth could be more glorious then her. That is until the ruby jewel in her tiara fell off into the water. She reached down but could not reach it. She cannot reach it, she begins to throw a tantrum, her tiara is ruined, that ruby was the perfect thing to help draw attention to her eyes. Now its gone and she feels like some one just marred her face.

Voice-"princess I can get it for you..."

She looks around seein gno one. Then hears a croaking of a frog and looks down. She grimaces, hoping that the frog did not speak to her. But he did, he told her he could get the ruby in exchange for being her friend and companion. For years he watched her visit the well and drink from it, and all he ever wanted was to see her smile. She agreed and he fetched the ruby from the well and gave it to her. But before he could be thanked, she snatched it from him and knocked him into the well and scampered off. The frog called for her but she was too busy fixing the gem back into her tiara to even notice or care that some one helped her. The frog pulls himself out of the well and lets out a croak. "You promised......"

Later that night the baron returned for dinner. The princess was dressed all in pink with white roses, trying to look like a romantic spring godess. The baron seems more interested in political events than her so she gets a little annoyed. Then there is a tapping at the door. "Princess do you not remember? you promised to be my friend...." The king looks at her, hearing a tiny voice at the door.

king-"did you promise?"
princess-"that little frog tricked me...."
king-"my dear if you promised then you must honor that promise..."
princess-"BUT!"

The king points to the door and she walks up to it. grumbling under her breath she opens the door for the frog and invites him in, trying to work a fake smile in under her grinding teeth. The frog hops in and stops at her chair. she lifts him up, whipping her hands off and sits down. The baron gets up and leaves, saying he will return in the morning to finish their negotiations. She huffs, having to finish dinner with a frog.

They go to her bed chambers and he sits on her bed. He asks for a goodnight kiss but instead gets a book thrown at him. She screams at how she has to be nice at somthing so disgusting and throws him out the window. She slams her window shut and goes to bed, hoping o forget this whole thing in the morning. Gregory picks up the broken frog and looks down at him. Tears form in his eyes as he walks to the old well in the woods. "master....." he drops the frog into the well.

The water glows and a skinny human like figure pulls himself out of the well. As he dries off, his body begins to change. His 5'11 frame begins to pack on muscle, bulking up to something that looks more healthy than anything. His skeleton like face fills out, becoming more full and squared off. He then gains rippling abs, a bubble butt, strong biceps and forwarms, a wide back, and diamond calves to go with his strong glutes. The young man looks around, moving is wet black hair out of the way and sees Gregory holding a matted robe. He slides it on, and begins to walk away. Gregory stays behind, having formed a plan for this spoiled brat.


The next day the princess runs down to the courtyard, greeting the baron and going into his carriage for a short ride through the country side to discuss a wedding proposal. She wore a tight black dress this time, skimpy on the top just to add some fuel to the fire. They take their ride, but she seemed more interested in his compliments then his proposal to marry n join their lands. She has them stop at the old well one last time and she gets out, finding Gregory there boarding up the well. Gregory states that by the king's command he has to board it up, so she decides one more drink before it is done. She takes a drink, and feels funny. She begins to croak, her skin turning green, her body becoming scaley and her fair falling out. She begins to shrink, her wolrd becoming much larger now. Then she croaks again. Gregory picks her up and drops her into the well, boarding it up completely. The baron asks hwere shere she went, but gregory shrugs ad says he has no idea, They could not hear the frog princess crying for help as the baron drove off, not wanting to see her again any way.

---back to reality---

Jessica slams the book shut, lookign disgusted at the fact that the pretty girl got mistreated so wrongly. She drops the book on the floor and kicks it away with her foot. Alex shakes is head, realising she wont ever learn. He picks up his book and walks away whispering something under his breath. As she drinks from the fountain her skin starts to itch. As she scratches her skin begins to turn green, her arms gaining mass and her fingers becoming webbed. She begins to scream and croak as her neck swells up and deflates.

The classmates pour out, seeing her body becoming riddled with warts as she begins to look like a humanoid toad. They begin to laugh at her, calling her he frog now. She tries to walk, but her pants are too tight from her strong developed thighs and calves that begin to resemble long frog legs. She tries to run away, but falls face forward on her large webbed feet. She made fun of those that are ugly, now she is a frog.
As for william, he felt bad for her, yet at the same time, happy that she got punished in some way.

Alex pats him on the shoulder. He says dont worry, though he may look like a frog prince now, one day he will find his true love and be the prince instead. Jessica tried to blame it all on Alex, accusing him of witchcraft. Sadly to her dismay no one beleived her, Alex proved that it was merely a bad frog that she touched and it had a bad effect on her. None of the other sudents touched theirs and they seem fine. Needless to say she never came back to school.
