Once Upon A Friendship

A/N This was something I came up with a while ago but hadn't posted but after talking to a good friend made me want to post this.

I hope you guys enjoy.


Prologue

It was a calm night in the kingdom of Far, Far Away as two young adult humans were looking at the stars in the night sky along with Artie and Shrek but they knew that soon both humans would have to return to their own world and that was something they didn't want to think about.

They had recently defeated Rumpelstilkin and knew that once they got back to their world, they would have to return to college and all the stuff that made normal life boring but Artie could tell they yearned to never leave this world.

"Maybe you can return on the weekends.

That way we could still have some fun." Artie told them.

Leah nodded as she saw Carley squinting at the night sky as she couldn't actually see the stars hut were imagining they were there as they saw Shrek leave as Artie smiled knowing what his friend was up to....

He knew that in their world, things were different and not the same as in this one.

He knew that they would come back when they wanted to.

Leah then realised it was getting cold as they went inside but she and Carley decided to go to bed as Artie smiled seeing that knowing that tomorrow they would be returning to their world.


That night Leah found that Carley was still awake as they shared a bed in their room.

She knew that tomorrow they would be returning to their world and it had the blue eyed girl nervous as she loved being in this world but not so much in their own as she understood knowing they faced much strife because they were different but in this world, they were powerful warriors who could help their friends take on anything that presented a threat.

"Don't worry Carley.

We'll come back here, I know it." she reassured her.

"Yes but what if we can't get back here?" she said as Leah agreed.

But they needed to keep the faith that they would return when they wanted.

She then felt sleepy as they fell asleep but hoped things would be okay.


Later the next day they were hanging out at Shrek's swamp and having fu playing mud football and being themselves which sometimes in their own world they couldn't be but they knew that at sunset they would be returning to their world but forgot about it for now as they wanted to have fun but Leah hoped things would be okay as this was the one place they loved being in besides Aria as they realised that soon it was sunset as Carley was nervous as Fiona understood handing them a pouch.

Leah was curious as she opened it and found two lockets both silver.

"We wanted you to remember us once you got back to your world as we know your world is different.

They can also allow you to return anytime you want." she said as Leah hugged them.

"Thanks for everything." she said as Carley nodded.

She remembered the promise she'd made eariler to return but Fiona along with Merlin and the others had a feeling they would return..........
