Birthday Wishes
Ch 1
Snowgre was excited. He was turning twenty in a few days.
As long as he could remember, he loved his birthday.
He loved getting presents and cards as well as seeing his friends and family.
Only this year was different.
His parents had disappeared somewhere and had asked Shrek and Fiona to look after their son.
After that, on his birthday Snowgre kept wishing that they'd come back.
"I wonder if it'll come true this year?
I… miss them so much. I was only thirteen when they dropped me at my cousin's swamp and left.
I wonder if they miss me." He thought in Study Hall.
Mikaz then walked in.
He was late.
He had put a little surprise in Snowgre's locker.
Snowgre was quiet as they walked out of Study Hall.
Normally Snowgre was always talking but today he was silent.
Snowgre opened his locker.
Mikaz had gone home already but Snowgre saw a brightly wrapped box in front of him.
It was a present with a black envelope on it.
"Wow Mikaz must've done this." He said as he put it in his back pack.
He then put on a black skater helmet and jumped onto a skate board.
He'd learned how to skate board from Shrek.
Meanwhile in the swamp Shrek was in his and Fiona's room opening a chest with a lock on it.
Inside was a priceless heirloom that Snowgre's parents had given him.
It was intended to be given to Snowgre when he reached adulthood which was in a few days.
It was a charm bracelet but the charms in the chest with it were magical.
Only those in Snowgre's family could wear it.
Fiona moticed sadness in Shrek's eyes.
"What's wrong? Is it Snowgre?" she asked him.
He nodded sadly.
"Yeah. I'm... going to have to tell him about his parents.
I'm scared for him. I won't be able to protect him like before." he answered her.
She understood but watched as he wrapped the bracelet carefully.
But somebody was watching him.
It was Charming. He wanted those beads for himself.
Snowgre watched as Shrek's kids Meatballs, Spam and Felicia were running around playing with Nerf guns.
"Hey Uncle Snowgre!
How was school?" they asked.
"Boring. You guys look like you're having fun." Snowgre replied as he went inside.
Snowgre then went into his room and put his back pack on the bed.
He opened it.
He took out the present and zipped it back up.
He opened the gift.
It was a guitar locket with a picture inside of him and Mikaz when they'd first met.
"Thanks man." he said to himself as he put it on.
He then began thinking about his parents.
Charming cackled as he saw Leah show up.
What was she doing here?
Snowgre perked up when he saw Leah as he came into the living room...
A friend of hers was having her birthday too in a couple of days and she needed help...
