author note: My first chapter is similar to the movie. I just wanted to set the story up until you read my chapter 2 where everything goes haywire.

Shrek 2 – A cup of tea

Twenty years ago the King had made a deal with the devil, well close enough, the Fairy Godmother.

"I'll grant you your Happily Ever After Harold, under one condition. My son Prince Charming will marry your daughter. If not you will always be slimy, disgusting, eating flies ...honestly do I need to go further?"

Harold nodded his head in agreement as his heart beat faster and his frog feet began to sweat.

"Yes, we have an agreement," Harold said. "I will do what you have asked. It's a deal."

"You better not go back on our deal Harold," Fairy Godmother said as she pulled her glasses down her nose and stared at him square in the eyes. "Well, are you ready? I hear your princess now."

The grass around the pond started rustling, "Harold, prince Harold where are you?"

"Yes, yes I'm ready," Harold said under his breath to Godmother who was now the size of Tinkerbell.

"Here you go kid," she said with a sly grin. She waved her wand and golden glitter fell out of the sky. She floated away in a bubble high in the sky until she vanished.

Harold noticed that his webbed hands and feet were turning human and that flies weren't appealing anymore. At last he was human!

The rest is history. He married the princess, Lillian, and they eventually became the King and Queen of Far Far Away. Soon after they were married they had a little girl, Princess Fiona. She had fiery red hair, fair skin and was a beautiful child. That was until a curse was placed upon her.

Fiona was a human by day and an ogre by night and only true love's kiss could break the spell. She was kept away in a tower that was guarded by a huge, pink, flying dragon.

When Fiona was a young adult she was ready to get out of her tower. It wasn't long before she was rescued by an ogre and not by Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother's son.

Prince Charming's timing was way off and so were his directions that his mother gave him. Fiona and the ogre, Shrek, were already married and Fiona was living her days and nights as an ogre.

When both Shrek and Fiona were invited to Far Far Away to meet her parents. King Harold and Queen Lillian met the two ogres and they both were stunned and they didn't know what to think.

"This isn't good," Harold whispered to Lillian.

"Oh, Harold, you never know you may find yourself liking her new husband," Lillian fired back.

Of course, Lillian never knew that her husband was a frog when he fell in love with her. Yet, she persuaded Harold to agree that Shrek and Fiona should live happily ever after.

For a while he was in agreement, that was until there was a tapping at the King's bedroom window one night.

He went out onto the balcony to see who it was and it was Fairy Godmother in her pink Cadillac-like hearse.

"Harold, you haven't broken our deal now have you?" Fairy Godmother said. She wasn't a happy camper and that's putting it nicely.

She dealt in dark magic and had all kinds of magic mirrors for all occasions. She knew all about Shrek and Fiona.

Harold was shoved inside the pink vehicle. This was his first time meeting Prince Charming only to discover how arrogant and rude the young man was. He knew that Shrek actually was a better catch for Fiona, but then there was this deal.

"So, Harold," Fairy Godmother said sternly. "You must take this love potion and give it to Fiona somehow and then the first person who kisses her is the person that she'll be in love with forever. And you do know who that person should be ..."

"Your son?" Harold said and he acted as if this is the first time heard of any such deal.

"Yes, my son," Fairy Godmother said.

That same night King Harold carefully poured the love potion into Fiona's cup of tea hoping that someday she would forgive him for what he was about to do.

Fiona was crying in her room because Shrek was nowhere to be found. She had been looking for him all day.

Her father knocked on her door and said, "Fiona I've brought you some tea and it will make your Happily Ever After much better. You'll see."

"Thank you father, you are so kind. I love you," Fiona drank the entire cup of tea.

Oops, he didn't get a chance to switch the cups of tea. Now he had to stop his daughter from kissing the wrong guy.
