Anytime You Need A Friend
A/N
All day I have been pumped for the release of Shrek Forever this coming Friday in the U.K where I live so I had to write this as I love writing Shrek and Fiona as little kids because it's cute in my mind but I hope you enjoy it.
In this, a seven year old Fiona is very lonely and self conscious until she meets Young Shrek and they begin to bond and a strong friendship begins but I gave her her warrior look as that look is awesomeness.
I might have Brogan and Cookie in this later on.
It was night time and in Far, Far Away, the sun had set but somebody had snuck out of her parent's castle as usual.
It was a young emerald skinned girl with long messy red hair, gentle sky blue eyes and wore a kelly green dress that was stained with mud.
Her name was Fiona and she was going to her favourite place to play, the forest.
She was an ogre by night as she was cursed by a witch to be human by day but ogre by night so she was ordered to stay inside during the day by King Harold her father but her mother Queen Lillian knew she was lonely for a seven year old.
Fiona always longed for a friend as she loved the idea of friendship and having somebody who was there for you no matter what but none of the other children would play with a monster and make her feel bad about herself but she ignored them.
She pushed those thoughts away entering the forest...
In a huge oak tree, a young ogre male was curled up in a ball worrying about staying in the forest.
He was seven years old with no hair, hazel eyes, wore a brown alligator vest, tartan trousers and boots.
His parents had sent him away as ogre law decreed that at the age of seven, young ogres were sent away at the age of seven but he hated it but was pretty lonely and sad as he was also hungry.
He heard voices as hunters were in the area.
He whimpered a little remembering his father's stories about those beasts with the pitchforks that hated ogres and anything else they didn't understand but he then heard footsteps as somebody else was in the tree making him nervous.
He then threw a small rock just to make sure.
"Hey!
Who's throwing rocks?" he heard somebody say.
He then lit a candle and gasped in awe.
Before him was a young female ogre.
She was around his age but he noticed she had long messy red hair, sky blue eyes and wore a messy kelly green dress but there was a look of anger in those eyes that made him nervous.
"I-I'm sorry.
I-I thought you were a hunter." he said stammering.
"Of course I'm not a hunter.
I'm Fiona!" she told him.
He was in awe.
"I'm Shrek.
Did your parents send you away too?" he asked.
"Send me away?" Fiona asked.
"Aye.
Ogre parents do that when their kids turn seven years old.
It suckeths because I just want to be home right now." he said.
Fiona's sky blue eyes were wide hearing that from him but saw the same hurt that she had in her eyes everytime kids were mean to her and knew he felt like her.
"Do you have a friend?
Somebody who can help you?
Care about you?" she asked.
Shrek shook his head in reply.
"Then I'll be your friend Shrek." she said smiling.
He was stunned hearing that but liked this.
"T-Thanks Fiona.
Nobody ever wanted to be my friend." he said.
She nodded.
"This place could be a hideout." she said.
"That would be cool." he replied.
"I ran away before my parents could send me away." she said.
He thought that was so cool.
Fiona sighed knowing the sun would rise in a few hours but she didn't want to leave Shrek as they were having too much fun playing but she had to go before the sun rose and she became a human again knowing ogres never trusted humans but Shrek's trumpet shaped ears drooped hearing this.
"I'll be back later tonight, I promise.
There's no way I'd abandon you." she told him.
"Okay.
Just come back safe.
I don't want anything to happen to you." he told her.
"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt me." she said leaving.
Shrek then went back into the tree after she left but he had an idea remembering Fiona saying about the tree being a hideout.
He hoped things would be okay.
Fiona smirked entering her bedroom through the window and changing into her night dress but her heart felt better as she wasn't so lonely anymore but hoped she could play with Shrek later as her eyes closed while the sun rose and magic swirled around her...
