In My Heart
A/N This is something that was in my head today and I had to write it. The idea emerged after watching Bridge To Terabithia last night and I wanted to do this. It involves the powerful bond between friends and trying not to lose them even if they're getting older. I will delete the one I started yesterday because this could work better than that one. I hope you guys enjoy.
It was a clear night as friends sat around a fire outside Shrek's swamp. Leah smiled as she ate a smore with jelly on it. She and Carley had came for Spring Break but they were having fun. But Snowgre made a face as Shrek was cooking something on a BBQ grill.
"Not those dude! Those things are gross!" he commented making noises.
"What is it he's making? It smells good!" Carley told him.
"They're squnotters, the ogre smore.
Snowg hates them but to me they're delicious.
Wanna try one?" Shrek replied seeing her smile broadly.
"Duh of course I want to try one. They smell good. Besides it's cool to try new foods like those yummy gator burgers we had." she replied. The thirty year old ogre laughed at that as he handed her a skewer.
She then began to chew on it like chicken.
"Hey this is great!" she replied eating more. Snowgre made a disgusted face.
"You actually like those things?
They're made from squirrel guts!" he replied eating another marshmallow.
"So what? I eat exotic foods all the time Snowg. No different from eating squid or weed rat stew." she told him.
Shrek then heard something and went to check it out.
He found Charming hiding in a bush. He wasn't happy that the vain and selfish prince was trying to pull something while his friends were here.
"What do you want Charming?
I'm not in the mood for your dumb games!" he told him.
"Yes because your friends are with you especially the one you care about but don't you know?" he told him.
"Know what?" Shrek asked confused.
"Know what?
Spit it out!" he ordered.
Charming smiled as he looked into Shrek's eyes.
"This'll be fun!
I want to see the look on his face when I tell him!" he thought.
"It's to do with Carley." he began.
"What about her Charming?
You better not try to hurt her!" he said.
"No but you do know her birthday will be soon and she's turning twenty one." he went on.
"So?
What does that have to do with it?" Shrek asked him.
"In that respect she'll be a full adult. She won't be allowed to be here all the time. Who knows?
She might be like other humans when it happens and that means.... you won't see her a lot as you do now.
Just a friendly warning.
If I were you, I'd remove my feelings for her before her birthday." Charming said leaving.
There was a look of sadness in the ogre's hazel eyes as he remembered Charming's words as he saw Leah join him. She saw great sadness on his face as he looked at the night sky.
"It's not true what he said! He must be up to something.
She'd never leave me because she's older, will she?" he thought.
"You okay? You look like somebody you cared about was going to leave you." she said breaking his train of thoughts.
"I-I'm fine Leah but I want to talk with you about something but not in front of Carley or the others, okay?" he told her.
She nodded as they were alone in the pale moon light.......
