A/N- This was inspired by the scene in Shrek the Halls when Shrek says "Ogres don't celebrate Christmas. Ogres don't velebrate anything." That got me thinking if Shrek ever celebrated his birthday. Voila!
Fiona smiled as she woke up. But something was wrong with her husband. "Something must be upsetting Shrek. He looks so sad in his eyes." She thought as she stroked his face.
"I'll tell ya. It's my… birthday today okay? But I've never had one because ogres don't really celebrate anything. You remember I told you that? I'm thirty." He told her. She smiled as she kissed him.
"Happy Birthday then honey!" she told him as they got out of bed. "I have some errands to do. I wanna make this the best birthday ever for him." Fiona thought as she cooked breakfast. The triplets were beginning to wake up so Shrek went into their room. "Good morning my angels! Did you sleep well?" he said to them hugging them gently while walking into the kitchen. Fiona smiled at the babies crawling over their father. "What're you going to do today?" Fiona asked him. "It's a nice day. I'm just going to sit outside and sun bathe." Shrek told her. She laughed at that. The triplets were already in their swim diapers. Shrek laughed as he watched them play in the mud. He was wearing swimming trunks and blue sunglasses.
Donkey and the other fairy tale creatures were wondering what Fiona wanted. "I need your help. It's Shrek's birthday and I need your help to plan the perfect party. He's never had a birthday before. I'm going to need all your help." she told them. For once Donkey was speechless. "He's never had a birthday? Let's do it!" he said. "You've got to keep it a surprise from Shrek, okay? I'm going to go to Far, Far Away to get Artie and my Mom to help. Whatever you do, don't mention the party. It's a surprise." she told them getting into the onion carriage. But somebody was watching them. It was Mariott.
He was Shrek's father but was evil. He knew it was his son's birthday today and was out to ruin it. He'd hated that his son didn't want to spread fear but live in peace and that angered him greatly. "Soon you're gonna wish you were never born." he hissed to himself as he held a wrapped box in his hand...
