A/N- I felt like writing a Shrek Christmas fic. Snowgre is Shrek's cousin. If you've read Shrek Tales book 2, you'll know what I'm on about.
It was five days until Christmas and Shrek and his family were getting ready for Christmas. Fiona was decorating the tree with Puss distracting the triplets by letting them attack and pull him. Shrek was on the roof putting up lights.
He then saw a cab pull up outside the swamp. "Why would one of those be doing here? I'm not expecting anybody for Christmas, am I? Maybe it's for Fiona." He thought but was worried especially when a furry ogre teenager stepped out of it. "Thanks man for the ride!" he said giving the driver money. "Oh no! Who invited Snowgre here? He's going to ruin everything!" he muttered under his breath.
Snowgre was seventeen, had blue skin with snow white fur growing over his skinny body, wore a black base ball cap over his furry head, had a New York Yankees shirt on with a black waist coat and wore blue sunglasses over his green eyes. He was amazed by the Christmas decorations. "Who's that?" Fiona asked her husband curiously. Shrek groaned at that. "He's my cousin Snowgre. I don't know why he's here." He replied. "Hey cousin! How're you? Ooh yeah I forgot! I brought you treats." He said hugging him. Fiona smiled warmly at him.
He then brought out a tin with a lid on it and opened it. "They're menorah shaped cookies. I made them before I went to the airport. You see you may find this hard to believe… but I'm Jewish and I like Hannakuah but maybe if it's not too much trouble, can I be a part of your Christmas?" he explained shyly. "Of course Snowgre. You can celebrate both. These look yummy! You want to help make Christmas cookies with the triplets and me?" Fiona replied. "Sure. It's… just this is my first Christmas ever. I know Shrek's a Christmas expert but I don't get to do this sort of thing." He told her as he followed her into the kitchen. Puss sighed in relief as the triplets crawled excitedly into the kitchen after Fiona.
"He seems nice. Is he?" he said to Shrek. "Is he what?" Shrek asked him. "Always shy like that? He's not confident like you. Maybe he needs help coming out of his furry shell." Puss told him. Shrek nodded at that. He knew that since they were kids, Snowgre had low self esteem in himself. He wanted to help him but was worried.
He then heard Snowgre laugh in the kitchen and walked in. The babies were having a fight with the left over cookie dough and some had hit Snowgre but he was laughing a lot at it. "Wow. He seems to warm up to Fiona and the babies but maybe that's because Fiona's been the only one that's welcomed him here and made him feel at home. I shouldn't have freaked out about the cookies even though they candle shaped. That's just Snowgre's way of saying hello." Shrek thought but freaked when he saw Snowgre hug the Christmas tree but smiled. He then heard roaring as Dragon landed outside the swamp. Donkey then burst in wearing a Christmas wreath around his neck. "Merry Christmas everybody!" he yelled. Snowgre had seen him but had decided to stay in the kitchen. Shrek saw that and got an idea. "Shrek who's that strange guy in the kitchen?" Donkey asked curiously.
"His name is Snowgre. He's my cousin. He's going to be spending Christmas and Hannakaan with us. I don't know why he showed up. He's shy and got low self esteem in himself. He's not used to things around here or you guys so take it easy on him, okay?" Shrek answered gently. "Sure. I've got an idea! Maybe I can be his friend! Like how I became your best friend! That's a great idea!" the ass jabbered as he went into the kitchen. Fiona was helping Snowgre decorate the cookies with icing. "Mmm... something smells good!" Fiona heard Donkey say . "Y-You can talk!" Snowgre said as he fainted on the floor. Shrek came in to see Donkey giving Snowgre mouth to mouth. "Get away from him Donkey! You freaked him out!" he yelled as he threw some egg nog over Snowgre and he woke up. "Is it gone?" he asked his cousin. "Don't worry Donkey won't be bothering us for a while. He's too busy drinking cocoa and eating candy canes." he told the teen reassuringly. He then saw him open the door and go into the snow...
He'd gone to bed in the snow. Fiona hoped he wouldn't get cold out there without clothes on but Shrek had told her he'd be fine... Puss then joined Snowgre outside. He was wearing his Santa claws outfit and carried a candy cane sword. "My cousin and you are great friends along with Donkey. I can tell." Snowgre said quietly. "Si we are. Don't you have any amigos back home?" Puss replied. "No I don't. I try to but my being shy makes it hard to try. I'm afraid other kids my age will hate me because I'm an ogre. I'm worried about after the holidays because my parents are sending me away to a place called Worchester Academy and I know I'll never fit in there. My parents sent me here to spend Christmas with my cousin because they went to New York and on my own I get into trouble. Besides I know my family hate me because I'm the only Snowgre in the family." the teen explained sadly. Puss understood.
"Don't worry. I'm sure Shrek will help you become less shy so you can make friends. I hate your parents. It's like they're ashamed of you." he told him as they went back inside. Fiona had over heard that and felt sorry for Snowgre...
