Friends Need Each Other
A/N Something I came up with last night when I was feeling blue and wanting a friend but the only thing I thought of besides Inyunaruto365 was my ogre hero Shrek and that normally makes me very happy.
It's Shrek related and related to my other fic Once Upon A Dreamer's Heart.
It was a month after Spring in Calvert County and somebody was feeling lonely because her best human friend was at college and wouldn't see her for a while but sighed remembering the fun they'd had in Duloc last year but wished she could be there because she felt like she fit in there as well as in Aria, her kingdom.
She sighed as David was at high school but decided to go for a walk but was sad but hoped Leah was with her to make her feel better.
She still had her necklace that allowed her to go to Shrek's world but she didn't want to go there feeling blue but sighed missing Leah and wondering what she was doing.
But then she saw a storm and a flash of light as she was nervous but had a feeling it was magic related as she closed her eyes but after a few minutes, the storm cleared up but she was in awe hearing noise from her closet.
She opened the door but smiled sadly as her best ogre friend in the world and hero was there asleep but she dragged him out gently trying not to wake him but put him on the bed and wrapped a fleece blanket around his body to keep him warm knowing that it got cold in here.
Her stomach then rumbled as she smiled but needed to get something.
She went downstairs and made a sandwich.
David then entered but was relieved seeing her in the kitchen because normally she never came out of her room unless Leah was here or to eat but he saw a look of wonder in her blue eyes as she carried a tray out of there and went upstairs to her room but she hoped he wouldn't go into her room but felt sad after hearing how Leah missed her.
Shrek's hazel eyes opened but smiled knowing he was in Carley's room from when he sometimes hung out in this world like when Carley and Leah hung out in Duloc with him and the others by using their necklaces to get there but he was worried after what had happened but he knew that sorceroress had something to do with it as he hoped Carley could help but smiled seeing the door open and hid under the bed because he thought it was Leah's brother or her Mom but Carley was smiling because swhe knew ogres were pretty good at hide and seek but saw his arm.
"You can come out Shrek-chan.
Besides David won't come in here unless he needs something." she said as he crawled out of there.
He then hugged her which made her feel good.
"I-It's good to see you.
I missed you guys too.
What's wrong and what was that storm about?" she asked.
The ogre's trumpet shaped ears drooped sadly at that.
"A sorceroress showed up and went nuts but she hates ogres like me.
She froze the portal connecting our worlds but I don't think it'll be unfrozen until she's taken care of.
I missed you too.
When you and Leah didn't show up after New Year's, I got very worried.
Fiona just said it was because you guys were busy but I had this feeling.
But you seem sad.
Where's Leah-chan?
With her friends?" he said as she shook her head.
"N-No." she said opening the pouch.
He gasped seeing the necklace that belonged to Leah.
"She went to college and she won't be back until Summer but I feel alone and needing a friend.
That's why I didn't go to Duloc after New Year's because I....... was feeling........" she explained.
He understood as she wiped a few tears away.
"I-I wish she didn't have to go!" she said.
He understood but saw her wrap her arms around him in a hug burying her face in his tunic.
"Aw it's okay.
At least she's not gone forever.
At least you have me.
I'll never leave your side." he told her.
"Yeah I know." she said letting go.
She heard David calling and had to go downstairs for a while.
In Duloc, in Farquad's old castle, somebody was watching Shrek in the human world but was curious about the human girl with him but wondered why she wasn't afraid of the ogre as she glowed with magic.
"I can answer that Xalia." the sorceroress heard somebody say as she turned around.
She saw a blonde haired man in a leotard but anger was in his eyes watching the scene in her globe.
"You can Charming?
Tell me!" she demanded.
"That is Carley.
She's the ogre lover I told you about.
She befriended Shrek a long time ago along with her annoying friend Leah but she doesn't seem to be there which is strange.
But they're not a threat." he answered.
But Xalia didn't think the human girl was as harmless as Charming thought.
But she needed to see for herself.......
Shrek saw Carley return to the room but wondered what David wanted but was surprised hearing they were going to visit Leah at college but Shrek wanted to come so he could get Leah to help them but Carley wasn't so sure Leah's Mom would let a seven foot tall ogre go with them but she had an idea remembering that time in Duloc when she'd dressed up like an ogre.
"Follow me Shrek-chan.
I have an idea....." she said as she led him to her closet.
"Umm...... Carley what's the idea?" he asked curious.
"Remember that day when we went to the movement's hideout and I dressed like an ogre?
Well now you need a disguise.
That way you can come with us." she answered.
Shrek was surprised Leah's Mom and David had bough his look and Carley's story that he was a friend of Leah's and wanted to go visit her too but smiled seeing Carley asleep but he wrapped his arm around her to lean on but he looked like a skater but that was an idea since Carley knew he loved to skateboard which was true but he hoped Leah would help him but was relieved as the car was nearly at the college.
He hoped that Carley was okay but smiled as they finally arrived and got a park.
"Hey we're here." he said as she woke up.
"Thanks Shrek-chan.
Let's go see Leah-chan." she said getting out of the car holding his hand and using his symbol cane.
Leah was happy to see Carley but more happy to see Shrek but felt bad that he'd been kicked out of Suloc by a sorceroress but knew that her necklace wouldn't be able to help him either but she was feeling good wearing it as she hugged them.
"I'll come up with some ideas and let you know when I come at the weekend.
I need to talk to Shrek for a few minutes." she said as Carley understood.
Shrek wondered what Leah wanted to talk to him about but had a feeling it was about Carley.
She nodded in reply.
"Yeah it is.
I know she feels alone and needs somebody to make her feel better while I'm here but it's a good thing you showed up.
I need you to promise me to look after her while I'm here and make her feel happy.
I know you can do that." she said as he nodded.
"Don't worry Leah.
I'll take good care of her." he told her leaving..........
