Lonely Without You

Ch 2

Shrek wondered why Fiona was so happy the next morning.

He had a feeling it was to do with Snow.

"You're in such a good mood this morning.

Why is that?" he asked her after they kissed.

"I just am.

Do I have to have a reason to be happy?" she answered as the triplets were running around the dining room playing tag with Nerf guns.

"Guys!

What did I tell you about playing in here?" Shrek said.

Meatballs ignored him as they kept playing but ran out of the room.

Lillian noticed Fiona was quiet as they ate.

"That reminds me!

I have to go!" she said running out of the room.

Rapunzel smiled seeing her run out of the castle and smiled.

"Soon your love will be your down fall.

I wonder how your precious husband and girl friend are doing?" she thought as she entered the castle.

She then went into Shrek and Fiona's room and left something.

It was a note she'd written but forged Fiona's writing so it looked like her's.

Meanwhile Snow and Fiona were at Farbuck's drinking coffee and enjoying the beauty of the day.

"Can I ask you something?

Would Shrek understand if I…. Told him about us?" Fiona told Snow looking into her eyes.

"I'm sure he would.

He understood about the curse, right?" Snow replied to her.

"Yeah you're right.

I'll tell him later." Fiona told her as she saw Snow drink her latte but then Snow fainted.

"Snow you okay?

Answer me!" she said shaking her awake but nothing happened.

Fiona then examined the latte Snow had been drinking.

It looked nasty and something nor even an ogre would drink.

"It was poisoned like that apple.

Ironic!" Fiona told herself.

She knew what the only thing that could wake her up was a kiss.

But she didn't want to reveal how she felt for Snow in public.

"But it's the only way to wake her, remember?" her heart told her.

Fiona nodded as she kissed Snow on the lips gently.

Snow's eyes opened but love was flowing through making the moment magical.

"Fiona… thanks.

My knightess on shining armour." She whispered as she got to her feet slowly.

"I-It's nothing Snow." She replied smiling.

Charming cackled at Shrek's sadness as he read the note Rapunzel had left but hunters ambushed him.

"Dad!

Take that jerks!" Meatballs said as he and his siblings shot them with Nerf darts but it didn't work.

"What happened?

Where's your Dad?" Artie asked them.

"Hunters ambushed him.

He got upset reading this." Spam told him handing him the note.

"something isn't right .

Fiona would never do a thing like that!

I've got to find her at once!" he told them as they heard Fiona giggle as she and Snow entered the room.

"What's wrong Artie?" she asked him seeing him so serious.

"Read this." He told her handing her the letter.

Snow watched as her girl friend's fists clenched in anger.

"I didn't write this!

But I know who did.

The very same person who poisoned Snow's latte. " Fiona told them.

"Yeah Fiona who is it?" Sleeping Beauty asked.

"Rapunzel.

I thought we'd seen the last of her when she ran off when her extensions were yanked off." Cinderella said.

"Apparently not.

If she's still around…. No.

Charming has him!

I have to save him but tell him something important.

We've got to go now!" Fiona told her princess friends and the others.

"We're coming to help!" Doris said to her.

"That's great.

I knew I can count on you." She replied.

The triplets were following them but Snow stopped them.

"I know you want to help get Dad back but it's too dangerous and I can't risk you getting hurt." Fiona told them.

Meatballs pouted at that.

Lillian couldn't help but laugh.

Charming cackled seeing Shrek in emotional pain but watched as he curled up into a ball in the corner of the cell.

"Why're you not trying to escape?

Was it because of something you found out about your wife?" he sneered.

Shrek clutched his chest where his heart was.

Although he didn't look like he was hurt, he was hurting inside.

"Just leave me be Charming." he replied softly with tears in his eyes.

This shocked Charming.

Rapunzel saw him cackle as she walked in.

"This plan is awesome.

He's weaker than a human.

Maybe I should've done this before." he said.

Shrek's heart felt a glimmer of hope as he heard that.

"Maybe she didn't write that note after all,

I should've known." he thought, a shaky smile on his face.

Fiona then set off with her mother, the princesses and Snow to save the man she loved.

Artie watched as Fiona and Snow held hands while walking.

He had a feeling there was something they were hiding...
