Seeing With Our Hearts
A/N Valentine's Day is today and this holiday always makes me feel a little depressed because I always feel left out but this always makes me want to write fics.
In it, Artie is feeling left out and feels alone until he meets some strange friends of Shrek's from another world and they show him that he's never alone.
I hope people like this as it's something I wrote for myself and for my good friend Inyunaruto365 since we're good friends.
I hope people like.
It was a beauitful day in the kingdom of Far, Far Away but in the castle, a certain sandy brown haired young King was depressed as he woke up looking up at the calendar and sighing seeing it was February 14th or Valentine's Day in other words as that thought made him sad as he knew it was a day of love and knew that he could never have good luck with Love as in Worchester, no girl wanted to go out with him as he'd been the loser back then but then remembered he was King now and not somebody any meat headed jock could push around anymore as he realised that getting dressed and heading down to get breakfast.
He saw Lillian was in a strange mood like his as he entered the dining room and remembered that Uncle Harold had passed away a long time ago and understood why Valentine's Day made her sad as men sent her cards and presents but none of them could replace the love she'd felt for Harold as she sipped black tea.
"Hey Aunt Lillian, rough morning huh?" he said as she nodded.
"Yes it is a rough morning indeed.
This day makes me sad every year." she answered.
"I can relate to how you feel." he answered eating pancakes.
She smiled sadly knowing what he was talking about as he had a little self confidence now then when he used to be at Worchester but she along with Shrek had been helping him feel a little stronger.
She watched as he left the castle......
Everywhere he went, he saw people giving each other cards and gifts or couples holding hands which made him sad as he knew nobody would truly love him and was a little jealous of his cousin Fiona but smiled sadly knowing he could go hang out at the swamp with Shrek as they were the same in emotions and could count on him.
He then left the kingdom as he left in a carriage as he headed to Duloc.
He wondered what they were doing, probably having fun.
At a certain swamphouse, Fiona was baking heart shaped cookies with the triplets as it was Valentine's Day and they were having a party later but she smiled as Leah entered and was helping Shrek decorate the house along with Carley and Ogre Child but Carley was down and Ogre Child was acting strange as she smiled knowing a certain male ogre was the reason the dark blue skinned Ogreix Warrior was acting odd as she was breaking eggs by karate chopping as the triplets were amazed as Fiona laughed as the hazel eyed girl had strange ways of doing things sometimes as she heard Ogre Child giggle and Shrek groan as Leah came out seeing the male ogre covered in whipped cream as both Fiona and Leah found it hilarious but they noticed Carley was a little down but the hazel eyed girl understood what was making her act like this as she knew she was like this every Valentine's Day and only she could make her happy sgain.
"Is she okay?" she heard Ogre Child ask softly.
She was surprised to hear that as the Ogreix Warrior was Carley's more braver half but didn't know why she got sad sometimes like this and needed to tell her but not when everybody was here because it would make her sad.
She then saw them go into the house and Leah smiled as she decided to tell her.
Ogre Child saw Carley was watching Ponyo on a portable DVD player with earbuds in which made her smile as she knew that she wouldn't be able to hear what they were saying which was a good thing as well as Shrek going to take a shower after being sticky and covered in whipped cream as the hazel eyed girl began to explain that she didn't like being left out of Valentine's Day because she had nobody to love but the dark blue skinned Ogreix Warrior frowned at that.
"She's always happy when it's the Day of Hearts in Aria.
Besides she has us and you to care about her." she said softly.
"Yeah but she made that holiday in Aria so none of the Arians would feel the way she feels today." Leah told her.
The dark blue skinned Ogreix Warrior felt bad as she saw Carley asleep as she stroked her hair knowing that she got sad a lot but had her, Aria and especially her, Leah and Shrek to help her.
She had a feeling an new foe would try to take over Far, Far Away.
