Chapter Two
Ambris was stunned by his disguise. It made him look so handsome but he knew he had to hide his true colours within. He then found himself in a place full of teenage humans. It was a college. He wondered what they were doing there. He then heard someone scream. Some other kids were picking on a girl. That made him angry like when other kids like him were picked on. He then approached the guys who were picking on her and beat them up. She laughed as they ran off screaming. She smiled at him. The girl had wispy blue hair, green eyes and was slender bodied. "Thanks! They won't be bothering me anymore because of your bravery. I'm Thalia. I live in an estate not far from here. Who're you?" she told him.
Ambris then felt funny and warm inside. He wondered if it could be… Love. He shook that thought out of his head at once. If she knew what he really was, she'd turn and flee from him like others did back home. "I'm Ambris. I came here from… Far Away. I live in the forest." He told her. He smiled as she took his slender hand. This felt really nice. Cockroaches fluttered in his heart as he looked at her. "Let's go for a drink." She said to him. "Sure! What bar do you go to here?" he told her. Thalia laughed at this. "What's so funny?" Ambris asked her. "I meant the coffee bar! We're not allowed to drink on college premises." She said. She looked into his deep brown eyes. She touched his face. Suddenly his ogre ears popped out. She smiled at this. "I'm sorry about that." Ambris told her. "I like them. They're cute! Don't hide them." Thalia said to him. They then became human ears again. "I don't want others to see them. They'd freak." He told her. He realised she wasn't afraid of him. This made him happier than mud hockey. But Veronsa had followed him here. He was disgusted that Thalia liked Ambris. Later they were at her house using her karaoke machine and singing. Ambris had the gift of song like Fiona as well as her confidence and fiery temper. Thalia could sing too. They were having a good time but night fell so Ambris went back to the forest. Before he left, Thalia kissed him on the lips. That made his heart of gold sing inside. Thalia then closed the door. But unknown to Ambris, his father had obtained a mini Magic Mirror and was watching what was going on in the mortal realm. Shrek was pleased that his son had found Love. Fiona was asleep and her head was resting on his shoulder in the dungeon. He remembered the first time he'd fallen in love with Fiona. He wanted to be there with Ambris but it would mean lraving Fiona here alone until they'd taken care of Charming. His mind was made up.
"Fiona honey, wake up. I need to tell you something." He said softly. She then woke up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "What is it?" she asked him. "I'm going to the mortal realm to help Ambris. He's in a very special situation and he needs help. But I'm not leaving you. It's just until those regal slime balls are taken care of." He told her. She hugged him. Inside of her, she was sad. First her son had gone and now her True Love was going off into the same realm. She watched as he walked through the portal he'd created and disappeared. After that, the tears and despair kicked in. "Please be okay where ever you went as well as Ambris!" she said softly as she fell asleep.
