Thankful For You
A/N I got the idea for this from my friend Leah who's having Thanksgiving next week, I think. She's gonna write a Shrek thanksgiving fic too but I wanted to write one too only mine is about Artie/Snowgre. There's yaoi in it buut nothing too gross. This is also for Leah. She's something I'm thankful for if we had Thanksgiving where I live. Enjoy!
It was near the end of November and nearly Thanksgiving.
Fiona was baking pumpkin pie while Shrek was getting the turkey.
They were having their friends over for a feast.
The triplets were playing with the turkey banner making gobble noises.
They were five years old now.
But Snowgre wasn't so happy or in a mood to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Little did he know…..
"Why so sad senor?
It's nearly Thanksgiving, a time for friends and being thankful." Puss said as he was baby sitting the triplets while Shrek and Fiona had gone out.
"Yeah, yeah I know, being thankful for those who matter to you.
But I have no friends.
Just family." Snowgre replied bitterly.
"That's sort of not true.
If you think about it." Puss replied hearing something smash.
But in Far, Far Away somebody else was bitter about Thanksgiving and feeling alone.
It was none other than Artie. He had been feeling alone but was thinking of somebody.
"Artie?
You okay?" a voice said breaking his train of thought.
"Yeah Fiona what's up?
I.... was sort of day dreaming." he replied.
Fiona laughed gently at her cousin's shyness.
"I was saying about Thanksgiving.
Are you coming to the swamp or staying here?" she said to him.
Snowgre's face came into his mind at that which made him blush.
"Yeah I'll be there, no sweat!
Snowgre's gonna be there, right?" Artie told her.
She nodded seeing the look in his green eyes.
She knew why he'd asked.
By the time, they'd gotten back, it was diner and they were having Chinese.
Shrek noticed Snowgre was quiet as they ate.
"I wonder what's up with him?
He has been acting weird the last few days.
Maybe it's just hormones." he thought eating chow mein.
Snowgre then fell asleep thinking.......
The next day was Thanksgiving and the swamp was busier than normal.
Later Fiona was cooking while Shrek was basting the turkey using a huge syringe.
Snowgre watched as the triplets played in the leaves outside.
"Hey you." he heard somebody say softly.
Snowgre then turned around and saw Artie.
He was enchanted by those green eyes of his.
"H-Hey Artie." he stammered.
He felt weird as Artie sat beside him.
It was none other than Love in action.
But somebody was watching angrily.
"Why should that artic ogre brat get him instead of him?" she whispered under her breath and hooded cloak.....
