It was a dreary, miserable day at the swamp as Fiona woke up. For some reason she was feeling down. But soon she'd know why. Lillian was very upset in Far, Far Away that morning. It was because her husband Harold had passed away in the night. She needed to be with her family so she decided to go to the swamp where they were unknowing of why she wanted to see them…
Puss wondered what was up with Fiona. She didn't seem happy as normal or laughing either. "Hey senora what's wrong? You don't seem like yourself." He said to her. "It's… just I feel that something bad has happened to somebody I love but I don't really know." She admitted quietly.
She then heard a knock on the door and answered it. It was weird to see her Mom standing there. She saw tears in her eyes as she fell into her daughter's arms. "Oh Fiona he's gone!" she said quietly. She was worried about this as she ran into the bedroom. "What's up?" Shrek asked her. "It's Mom. She's really upset about something but I don't know what." She explained to him. He understood as he got up and dressed. He followed her back into the living room. Lillian was sitting in his alligator chair. Fiona then handed her a cup of tea. "I… I need to tell you something." She told her as she brought something out of her pocket that was wrapped and unwrapped it. Fiona gasped in shock as she realised what was wrong.
"He woke me up in the middle of the night and went into spasms. After that… his… his eyes closed forever. I've been in shock since early this morning. I'm sorry." She told her weakly. Fiona had turned pale at this and it looked like she was about to cry. "This was why I woke up feeling like this." She simply said as she touched her father's body. Shrek watched as she went into their room. He was worried. "Will she be okay?" Puss asked him. "I don't know. We should give her time." He told him. He wondered if she'd be okay but he didn't know…
He then went and put his ear to the door. He could hear soft sounds of crying. He couldn't believe that his father in law had passed away. He was upset but had to be strong especially for Fiona. She was the one most affected by this besides Lillian. "How is she?" Lillian asked him. "Not too good, I'm afraid. I'm worried for her. Harold was her father and they were close even she'd been locked in a tower for most of her life. I... think we should give her time." he told her. She sighed sadly at that. "You're right. She and Harold were very close." Lillian said to him sadly.
But in their room, Fiona was hurting more than they'd know. She was just lying on her bed depressed and writing...
