Sometimes you read a fairy tale and, as much as you love it, you have to admit that there are some things that just don't make sense. A Little More Logical: The Frog Prince is an attempt to answer some of the questions that invariably go through your mind when you hear this story. Why is the prince a frog? Why does the princess agree to marry someone who used to be a frog? Why would the prince wanted to marry someone described as selfish and vain regardless of whether or not he's a frog? And what really caused the frog to change, kissing or getting thrown against a wall or beheaded? (Those last two actually are variants of the original tale.)

But what happens when Coby realises that his feelings for Ariana are in fact more then platonic, but she is now courting some Prince, who in his mind is not good enough for her, but is still a man who outweighs him in society since he is just a simple Royal Guard.

Of course, after having been on the run for her life, meeting a talking frog wasn't as much of a surprise as one would expect on that particular day. But what does The Frog want? Does he really just want to spend time with her? And a better question, HOW can this frog talk? Besides that, there's him. Mr. Ernest Cliffwood. Charming and attentive and new, his sights apparently set on Rosalia but she's seen that playboy attitude from other rakes of the Ton and knows to be wary even if everyone else sees a marriage on the horizon as The Season gets into full swing. And there's one more person - more mysterious then Mr. Cliffwood. He appears and disappears in and out of the waltzing crowds as easily as if by some enchantment. What are his intentions? Who is he? Who is Mr. Cliffwood.
