Fighting the Flu
A/N I was inspired to write this after reading CarolJudithFan's fic An Annoying Guest and wanted to write a Shrek fic along the same lines of her fic and I imagined an ogre that used magic to infect humans and other ogres with swine flu but I hope people like this.
It was the beginning of December in Duloc but a steange new ogre had arrived but was light blue skinned with short silver hair and eyes but wore a shirt with a black jerkin, trousers and was slender yet muscle bound but he had magic but loved making humans and ogres ill with swine flu but had wanted to live in Duloc for a long time but smiled knowing he could have fun as he headed to Far, Far Away.
He was called Pukas.
He smiled remembering that Artie was the King of Far, Far Away as he knew he could have fun giving him and the people of Far, Far Away swine flu as he chuckled.
A few days later, Artie saw a servant enter the throne room with worry on his face.
"Fiddlesworth what's wrong?" the young King asked.
"Another one of the subjects is ill with that strange illness that's affected the kingdom." he answered.
Artie was nervous about this as he knew that this strange illness had affected the kingdom after a strange ogre had entered the kingdom but he needed a certain friend's help.
But he hoped that Shrek could help him.
He began to cough slightly but was nervous as he left in a carriage but hoped that his ogre friend could help.
Shrek was nervous as he noticed that his younger cousin Snowgre had the flu but not the strange one he'd heard about from his human friends but was happy as Leah was handing him the tissue box for Snowgre but Carley felt bad for Snowgre but she and Leah knew that the strange illness was swine flu but hadn't told their friends but Leah knew Carley was nervous about it coming to Duloc because she didn't want Shrek to get it but the hazel eyed girl understood her best friend's worries.
"But Leah-chan we had our swine flu shots!
They don't even have vaccines in Duloc!" the short violet haired girl said.
Fiona smiled at that.
"You mean if you take a shot, it won't make you sick?" she asked her.
"Well not true.
If you get the shot, you still can catch it but it's mild.
I've had the shot because of my asthma and my Diabetes." she answered.
The ogress was curious but understood as they heard the sound of carriage wheels as Artie came in but he didn't look so good which worried both Shrek and Fiona as Artie was close family to them.
"I think he has it." Carley said as Leah agreed.
"Got...... achoo..... what?" Artie asked.
"Swine flu." Leah answered feeling his forehead.
"He should rest but we need to get Merlin.
He could help." Fiona answered as she saw the triplets were up.
They were very curious for five year olds.
"Go back to bed, okay guys?
This is a grown up situation." Shrek said.
The triplets then left.
But the male ogre saw Snowgre approach them very weakly wrapped in blankets.
"I-I think I...... know who's been causing this illness in both kingdoms." he said shivering.
"Yiy do Snowgre?" Carley asked him.
"I-It's an ogre kid named Pukas.
He has magic that can infect others with the swine flu." he answered coughing slightly.
Fiona then saw Carley help him back to his room.
"We need to talk to Merlin about this." Fiona said as Leah agreed.
Pukas was curious as a stranger in a cloak approached his camp where he was staying the night.
"What do you want?" he said as the stranger revealed himself.
It was a man with blonde hair but knew who he was.
"Prince Charming.......
I've heard about you.
I think we might make a good team." he said.
Charming smiled hearing that as he settled in for the night but couldn't wait to get revenge on Shrek and his friends for what they'd done to him.
