I Know It's Today
A/N This is a set of Shrek drabbles. This is my first time doing a drabble fic. I felt like writing it because of Shrek the Musical and ideas for drabbles were popping into my head. This first one is about my fave ogre and how he thinks that making his side of the family proud matters but we all know that's not true.
Enjoy!
It was a clear night in Duloc and everybody was asleep except in a certain swamp.
Shrek was still awake and finding it hard to sleep.
He'd been remembering the past.
He knew that ever since that day, he felt betrayed by his parents.
Why did they send him away when he was seven?
Was it really ogre law or something else?
These thoughts were driving him nuts.
"Why is this happening to me?" he asked the night sky softly.
"I think they loved you and couldn't let you go but knew they had to.
Maybe you should tell them if we ever see them again." his heart told him.
Snowgre saw him there and felt sorry.
He knew what it was like to feel that.
"It's okay if I join you?
I couldn't sleep either." the ogre teen said to him.
"Sure, sure it's okay.
Were you thinking of... them?" Shrek asked him.
Snowgre nodded.
"Yeah I was.
M-Maybe I should've went home to Snowia with my parents.
Maybe then they'd be proud of me." the teen replied sadly.
Shrek's mouth was open wide at that. Snowgre was a prince of the kingdom Snowia but his parents had visited at Christmas to ask him to go with them but Snowgre refused.
But it was their eyes as they left that haunted him as they left with the look of shame and dis honour.
"Snowg... it would but..." Shrek began.
"But what?" Snowgre asked him.
"It would've made your parents proud of you but not yourself. Besides if you became royalty, you couldn't be yourself and not be allowed to be a musician.
Trust me Snowg royalty bites." he finished to him.
Snowgre laughed at that.
"Thanks Shrek.
I think... your's would be proud of you too.
You've a family that love and care for you, a wife that loves you for you and brings out the best in you and friends.
I don't know about your parents but I know you've made yourself proud.
I know since I live here." Snowgre told him yawning.
"Thanks.
Good night Snowg." he told him watching the teen go off.
He thought about what Snowgre said.
"He's right.
They might not know it but I have made myself proud.
One day when we meet again, I'll show them." he thought as he walked back into the swamp house and climbed into bed.
"I love you.
I'm proud of you." he whispered to Fiona drifting off...
That's the first chapter up. What do you think?
