Chapter Two
Best friends for life.
Fiona had gone off with Chrisa, Marina and Ariaelle again. They'd gone skate boarding. Shrek thought it was good that Fiona had some friends to be with apart from Donkey and Puss. But she'd hadn't cooked breakfast as she did when ever they got up. He could tell something wasn't right. Later she came back. He watched as she walked past him without talking to him. She went into their room. Donkey wondered what was wrong. "It's nothing Donkey. It's just…" he told him. Puss knew what was bugging him. "Donkey I think Fiona needs your help." He said and watched as he ran off. Puss then sat down beside him. "It's because of Fiona and her friends, isn't it? It's making you jealous. I think you need a night out with the guys." He said to him. Shrek then smiled at that. "Yeah but how do you have a guys night out if girls keep checking you out?" he asked him. "Don't worry, I can forget about the ladies for you." He said to him. Donkey then saw Fiona putting on make up. "Where're you going like that?" he asked her. She then smiled at this. "I'm going out with my friends. I think Shrek's a little sad about my having friends." She said to him. Donkey's mouth hung open at this. "Why do you think that?" he asked her. She looked away from him. "I think that because he tried talking to me as soon as I came back but I wanted to get ready and he seemed sad. Maybe I shouldn't go out." She said sadly. He then saw Puss come in. "Don't worry senora. We're going to have some guy fun." He said to her. She smiled at that. While Donkey was with her, Marina, Chrisa and Ariaelle showed up. They saw Shrek sitting playing on the laptop. Puss watched his friend as they sat beside him. Fiona then came out dressed up in punk clothes. Shrek's mouth hung open in shock at this. He watched as they walked out on their night out. Donkey watched as Shrek closed the door. He seemed sad. "Don't worry senor. Let's go get some beer." Puss said. They then walked out into the night. They then went to the Poison Apple Pub. Puss ordered a pint of milk. Shrek was drinking many glasses of rum. Puss then put something in it. It was catnip. It was from his secret stash. Donkey was unaware that he'd done that. They watched as Shrek drank it. Meanwhile Fiona and her friends were at a night club dancing. At the bar Shrek was feeling weird. The catnip was kicking in. Puss smiled at this. "What did you do to him?" Donkey asked him. "Nothing except for a little catnip." He said evilly. Donkey freaked at this. "You slipped him illegal drugs! Do you know how bad catnip is for an ogre's body system?" he ranted as their buddy threw up. Puss then saw the cops burst in. He watched as they arrested Shrek and Donkey. He had to do something fast. "It wasn't them, it was me!" he growled as Shrek threw up on the cop. They also arrested him as well. The police carriage then drove off. Later at midnight Fiona and her friends were back at the swamp when the cops showed up. "What do those guys want?" Marina asked curiously. Fiona then saw Puss in the car and figured it out. "He's been using catnip again." She said as the cops dragged both Donkey and her husband out of the carriage. But Puss remained in the carriage. "What's going on?" Fiona asked them. Donkey then began to speak. "Puss slipped Shrek some catnip and he's not too great as you can see." He said as Shrek fell onto the ground. Fiona caught him in her arms.
"Is he going to be alright? Catnip will dangerously hurt him. I don't know why he slipped him it." Ariaelle said to them as she helped Fiona put Shrek in the easy chair. He was greener than usual and talking in tongues. His eyes were open wide like spoons. Puss was watching this. He hadn't meant to hurt him, just help him forget about Fiona's friends. Fiona watched as they left. She then dragged her husband into bed. He was asleep but talking in his sleep. She then cuddled beside him. "I'm sorry honey that Puss gave you catnip. I'm also sorry that my having friends makes you a little jealous." She said to him. He smiled at this. The next day she woke up but Shrek was holding onto her hand. He wasn't himself at the minute. "Don't go." He said weakly. She saw tiredness in his brown eyes. She then snuggled back beside him. He then wrapped his arms around her groggily. "Don't worry, it'll be okay. Just stay in here, okay?" she said to him. He nodded as she left the room. Puss was in a prison cell but it was no big deal. He'd always been in one of these since he'd been on the catnip. He hated that Shrek was feeling tired and weak because of the catnip.
Someone then bailed him out. It was Fiona. She needed his help. He wondered why she'd did that. "Why did you do this for?" he asked her confused. "I need someone who is good at ogre health and you're the only one who knows how." She said to him. He understood and followed her. Shrek was in bed moaning in agony. Wax was running out of his ears and his body was hurting. He felt totally weak. He then saw Fiona come in with Puss. He saw how bad his amigo was looking and felt ashamed. "Le siento senor. I never meant to hurt you." He said. He understood. Fiona watched as Puss stuck tissues up her husband's ears and up his nose. They watched as he fell asleep. Fiona watched as he stayed behind. She then saw Donkey and his kids show up. She looked worried about this. "Why did he bring them here?" she asked herself as she met them outside. "Can you look after them? Dragon and I are going out for a while." He told her. She sighed as she went back inside.
