We Belong Together
Ch 1
Artie smiled as he and Shrek walked out of Heathrow Airport.
They had went to London to visit Snowgre.
The ogre teen had moved there to get into the music scene.
Shrek was wearing a hooded cloak so he wouldn't freak out the British mortals as they made their way to Snowgre's flat in Soho.
But Artie had a secret reason why he wanted to go with Shrek to see Snowgre.
He had met a girl named Yuki on a writing site and they had became friends but now were… more than friends.
She had told him she'd meet him in London.
"You okay?
You've been quiet since we landed in the UK." Shrek whispered.
"I-I'm fine." Artie replied.
"Something must be up with him.
Maybe it's hormones." The ogre thought as they heard the intercom buzz and the door open.
Snowgre's place was huge for a flat.
It had shag carpeting, rock and roll posters on the walls along with vintage guitars.
The shelves were filled with manga books and cd's.
"Hey guys." A deep voice said as Snowgre showed up.
He was wearing a leather jacket and jeans and a baker boy cap on his furry head.
His eyes were blood shot.
This freaked Shrek out but Artie was loving it.
"What happened to you?
You look horrible!" Shrek told his cousin.
Snowgre was seventeen, had white fur, slender and had green eyes.
He'd dropped out of school but hadn't told Shrek or his parents but they had died a year ago.
"I'm fine dude.
I know I look a little freaky but that's the life of a rocker." Snowgre told him.
Snowgre had a strong passion for music and wanted to be in a rock band.
But he'd kept it a secret.
Artie then heard his Swamp berry phone go off.
"Hello?" he asked as he answered.
"Hey Artie it's me Yuki.
Meet me in Covent Garden tonight, okay?
We could get to let our love blossom." The voice on the other end told him.
"Yes I'll see you later." He replied hanging up.
Shrek saw him blush as he smiled.
"It's nothing, okay? I'm just gonna go meet a friend." he simply said.
But Shrek knew Snowgre was hurting but didn't want to admit it.
He didn't know Artie was in love because he and Yuki had kept it a secret from their families.
He wished he could tell Shrek but knew he wouldn't understand.
"Artie!" he heard somebody call.
He was surprised to see Leah run up to him.
"Hey Leah what're you doing here?" he asked her.
"Carley and I are here on a stop over on our way to my home town." she answered blushing.
He knew she and Carley were in love but hid it because others would freak out especially Shrek.
Carley's parents had let her move with Leah to Calvert County.
"Where's Carley?" he asked her.
"She'll be meeting m in Sub way.
I have something for her to help her with the move because we won't be seeing you guys for a while and that would hurt her." she answered him as they walked to Subway...
