Living In Another World

A/N I know I've posted a couple of new fics but the idea for this one came to me today and I had to write it as it's about Shrek and his family escaping to Earth after Rumpelstilkin seeks revenge on Shrek for defeating him in the alternate Far, Far Away and Merlin helps them by giving them magical charms that allow them to take on human forms but the charms need to be charged at night but they feed off their emotional energy.

Don't worry as I'm still going on with I Thought I Lost You as people like it.

I hope you guys like.


It was late at night in the Red Light District of Far, Far Away as somebody was planning something as revenge because he was angry at Shrek for defeating him as he knew he cared about his family and would use this to his upper hand as he was preparing to destroy the swamp.

He would attack when they least expected it as he had powerful magic at his disposal.

"Soon he'll see how powerful I can be!" he sneered.

He then fell asleep........


Shrek woke with a jolt as he lay beside Fiona in their bed because he'd had a strange dream about Rumpelstilkin attacking the swamp and Merlin helping them escape to another world but shivered as he hoped that it wouldn't come true but saw Snowgre run in as he wanted what his teenage cousin wanted but from the look on his face, he had a bad feeling the dream was coming true as he heard witches outside as this made him nervous especially as he saw Rumpelstilkin on one as Snowgre along with the triplets and Fiona wondered what was going on.

"Why don't you tell them Shrek?" Rumpelstilkin taunted.

"Tell us what?" Fiona answered.

"I-I can't!

You wouldn't understand.

Why involve them?

I'm the one you want." he protested.

Rumpelstilkin smirked at his foe's pleas.

"He was stupid enough to sign one of my contracts as he wanted to be a real ogre and ended up in a parallel version of Far, Far Away where he was never born but he somehow defeated me and now I want revenge against him and his family!" hr snapped.

Fiona was shocked as Shrek was very quiet as she couldn't believe her husband would do that but as Rumpelstilkin was about to attack them, they were surrounded in magic but afterwards they were gone.

"Where did they go?" Rumpelstikin asked as his witches were angry.


Shrek was relieved as they were away from there but fopund themselves on Merlin's island as he had a feeling the kooky sorceror had brought them here as they saw Merlin approach them as Shrek smiled as the sorceror led them to his home as Fiona was curious about how her husband knew about Merlin.

"I'll tell ya later, okay?

For now let's try and fix this mess.

Why did you bring us here?" Shrek asked Merlin.

"Because I've known that Rumpelstikin would do this and you guys are like family to me.

But this place will not be safe for too long because once Rumpelstilkin leatns you're here, he'll come looking for you but I do know a place he wouldn't look." the sorceror told them.

He then used his magic to show an image of New York as they were curious.

"Where is it?" Fiona asked him.

"A place called New York in Earth.

It is another world populated by humans and they have jo magic.

It's the perfect place and I have something for you." Merlin told them.

"I don't think we'll fit in there.

We're not humans." Snowgre told him.

The sorceror slapped himself on the head.

"I know that!" Merlin told him.

Fiona and the others saw charm necklaces and wondered what they were for and Merlin smiled knowing that that those necklaces had magic in them that would help them become humans.

"These will help you to become human.

They're filled with powerful magic.

All you have to do is focus and you'll transform into humans but the necklaces need to charge at night so whatever you do, you can't wander around at night because it's dangerous.

I'll help you fit into the human world as much as I can." he answered.

Shrek then felt Merlin put one of the necklaces around his neck.

The charm was in the shape of an onion.

He smiled knowing it suited him.

Fiona wore one with a sunflower charm along with the triplets.

Snowgre wore one with a snowflake charm.

"You should go now." he told them.

They understood as they were surrounded in magic and vanished........


Shrek and the others were amazed as they were now in the human world as Snowgre was very excited as Fiona saw worry on Shrek's face along with the triplet's being scared as Snowgre reassured them they'd be okay but they noticed somebody watching them but Shrek gasped seeing the woman's dark eyes as the wind blew through her long tendril like dark hair but she was happy.

"You know her?" Snowgre asked Shrek,

He nodded in reply.

"Aye she's a good friend but I'm amazed she can take on a human form so easily." he answered.

He then approached her knowing who she was.

"Ogre Child?

What're you doing here?

How can you hold onto a human form for so long?" he said.

She giggled as she knew what he was talking about.

"I used my Humanix to do it.

With it, I can look human.

Your necklaces allow you to do it, right?

I helped Merlin withj those." she answered.

"Why would you do that?" Snowgre answered.

"Because he knew Rumpelstikin would be after Shrek-chan so I had to help.

But to transform into humans, you have to think of becoming humans and it'll happen." she told them.

Shrek smiled as he tried this by thinking of becoming a human as his charm glowed as he transformed into a human with light hazel hair, muscle bound but still had his hazel eyes as he was in his normal clothes.

"Wow they work." Fiona said as she was staring at her husband.

She then did the same as she became human with longer brown red hair but was surprised seeing the look on Snowgre's face as the triplets transformed into human forms but Snowgre wasn't sure.

"Come on Uncle Snowgre you've gotta do it.

It'll be cool." Demi said as her siblings agreed.

He hoped they were right as he did the same as they had but was a slender human teen with short white hair but he hated it as thwy understood but the dark eyed woman gave them a piece of paper with an address on it.

They hoped this would work.
