It was a stormy night at the swamp and Shrek was finding it hard to sleep. He then got up and put some headphones on. He was listening to My Chemical Romance on his walkman. He then got an idea but he knew Fiona wouldn't like it. "I'm going to become a Goth! I know Fi might be against it but it looks cool! All that make up and black clothes." He thought as he crept out of the bedroom. He then went onto his laptop and researched Goth stuff on the Net. It said that to create that cool Gothic make up look, he needed black lipstick, liquid eyeliner, black clothes and white foundation make up. "I need to go into town to get this stuff! I'd better go now so Fi won't know what I'm doing!" he thought as he got dressed and went out the door.
He then entered town. Most of Duloc's shops were shut at night except for one. It was a goth shop. He then threw a cloak around himself so he wouldn't freak out the shop keeper. "Please let this work!" he told himself silently as he went into the shop quietly. He gasped in amazement at the goth stuff in the place. He then saw someone behind a counter. It was a young teenager. He was wearing black clothes, a cape was over his shoulders, he had long blue dreadlocks. He had white foundation, black lipstick and liquid eyeliner. He had teeth extensions so they looked like fangs. "Hey dude! Can I help you?" he said to Shrek. He smiled at this. "If he only knew what was under this cloak!" he thought as he gave the kid a piece of paper with what he wanted on it. He watched as the kid put the stuff in a bag. Shrek then handed him some money and went out of the shop. He then went back to the swamp.
It was nearly dawn and Shrek was in the bathroom creating his own Gothic identity before Fiona woke up. He couldn't wait to tell her this. Fiona was up and was making breakfast. She had been worried when Shrek wasn't sleeping next to her. "Breakfast's up!" she yelled. Shrek then came out of the bathroom. He was wearing black clothes with a spidery cloak. On his arms were assorted gothic jewellery. His face was pale white as well as the rest of his body with black lipstick and liquid eyeliner under his eyes. He then sat down at the table. Fiona saw what he'd done to himself.
She broke the bowl in her hand and fainted but Shrek caught her. "That's weird! I was expecting something different." He said as he put her in their room on their bed. He was unaware of the next few events…
