Alright I was getting a lot of beef for the first version of the story sound way to much like the movie so I'm reposting it, hopping that you wonderful critics will just get off my back on the matter. Same main idea, Arthur should have had a girl somewhere in the story. Enjoy!

Charlene

Crash!

Lancelot collided with the boy standing in as the opponent. By the stone entrance a girl of fifteen winced at her friend's pain. Charlene wished day in and day out that the whole of the school would just leave the two of them alone. On the social ladder she and Arthur were the lowest of the low. They had life off the worst of all of the kids in the school.

Suddenly an ogre walked past her followed by a cat and mule. Charlene was terrified and then the beast stepped on Arthur! She ran from her spot and knelt beside him.

"Oh my goodness, are you alright."

Arthur groaned out, "Charlene?"

"Come on, let's got out of here before that ogre tries to kill us."

Charlene helped Arthur up to his feet and together they quickly walked off the field towards the auditorium. They heard a call behind them and Arthur turned to see the ogre and the other animals calling out his name. They sped up their pace and turned down a small corridor to elude the monster.

Charlene and Arthur used a back entrance and walked up a flight of stairs. Charlene heard a sound behind her and gasped. The two chess nerds grabbed her and Arthur and tossed them over the rail. How she'll probably never know. Arthur went over and Charlene got thrown right after him. Arthur got stuck on the coat of arms sitting above the entranceway and he managed to catch Charlene after the hem of her dress tore from hanging on the hooks.

"Arthur, you can let me down."

Unsurprisingly the whole school was pointing at them. She wondered what they could have possibly done now. When Arthur released her she was half caught and half shoved by the ogre to the side where she fell flat on her back.

"Please don't eat me."

Shrek pulled Artie off the coat of arms while the entire school was chanting for the ogre to do just that.

"I'm not here to eat him!"

Charlene wasn't completely shocked when everyone was disappointed.

"It's time to pack up your toothbrush and jamies, you're the new king of Far Far Away.

"What?"

Artie then remembered Charlene and stepped behind Shrek to help up his bewildered friend.

"Run that one by me again."

From the crowd came the unmistakable voice of Lancelot.

"Artie, a king? More like the mayor of Loserville."

And of course the auditorium was instantly filled with laughter.

"Is this for real?"

"Absolutely! Now clean out your locker kid you've got a kingdom to run.

Shrek started to steer Artie towards the door but then Artie said, "So wait. I'm really the only heir?"

Shrek thought this over for a second and, "The one and only."

Charlene bumped his arm from where she was standing and gave him a skeptical look.

Artie put his hand on Charlene and told Shrek, "Give me… uh… just a second."

Charlene reached out for his arm to pull him back, but Artie was already out of reach and making his way towards the center of the gym.

Rather than stand next to the ogre and his companions, Charlene followed and stood right beside him.

"My good people, I think there's a lesson here for all of us."

"Artie what are you doing?"

"Sh, just wait."

Artie started going on about how everyone got such a kick out of picking on the little guys.

Charlene looked on at Artie with a smile and thought 'finally'. "And maybe his first decree will be to banish everyone who ever picked on him. That's right, I'm looking at you jousting team.

"And Gwen"

Charlene looked down a bit and her smile faltered ever so slightly.

"Oh Gwen. I've always loved you. "

"Ew"

Charlene rolled her eyes at this.

"Well good friends, it breaks my heart but, enjoy your stay here in prison, while I rule the free world baby!"

"Alright let's not overdo it." The ogre came lumbering behind Charlene and her previous fear returned slightly. She looked over Artie where he was continuing his long farewell. She tried to get him to stop but gripping his shoulders but Shrek just took matters into his own hands; rather literally.

Shrek picked up Artie and left the auditorium. Charlene began to follow, grinning from ear to ear, in a near fit of giggles, but as she started to slow Arthur realized the Charlene was longer next to him so he scoffed and grabbed her hand.

"No way am I leaving you here to suffer by yourself."

Her gleaming smile was back and she happily let herself be pulled in by his strong hold.
