He Stands Alone

A/N I felt like doing this. It's about Shrek and Fiona meeting as teenagers and realising Fate had brought them together but then things like being sent away to a tower makes things worse but it's about finding somebody whose soul is like their own and feeling that they belong. I might do more of this if people like it.

It was a wet and rainy night and in a forest a young ogre boy was trying to find shelter. He'd been sent away from his home and parents on his birthday.

But he was afraid of the world a little

His name was Shrek.

Unlike other ogres and human kids his age, he had a good heart and was very loving but shy and nervous because of how others judged him. But he was thinking about something.

One day last week he'd came to a village in the kingdom of Far, Far Away but people were afraid but somebody was watching him with no disgust or fear in their eyes.

He sighed as he felt the hurt inside from what her friends had told her about him.

He knew that somewhere, somebody would love him for who he was and not because he was different as he felt the rain touch his white shirt and brown vest.

I can be friends with whoever I want and he looked so sad, so lonely like me." she thought preparing to sneak out of the castle as she normally did.

Her name was Fiona and she was princess and heir of Far, Far Away but she didn't like the royal life and sometimes wanted to be like other girls but her father King Harold didn't see things his daughter's way and told her that being royal was her destiny and nothing would change it.

She was very fiery and strong willed like her mother but was lonely.

Most of the other girls in the kingdom were mean and spitefyl to her because of her status and she longed for somebody who understood her not as royalty but as a person.

She smiled as she left the castle through the secret passage she'd found as a child and ran off towards the forest......
