Once Upon A Friendship

Okame.......

Me- Here's more of the story and thanks to Inyunaruto365 for her reviews as they keep me going.

(Inyunaruto365 appears in a flash of jutsu.)

Inyunaruto365- Aww you're welcome Pricat for that.

We are friends after all.

Ogre Child- Are Jen and I going to be in this huh Your Highness?

Since the Empress of Cold Hearts did come from Aria.

Me- Yes you guys are in it.

It's not fun without you guys.

(Ogre Child does a happy dance at this)

Ogre Child- YES!!!!

(Pricat chuckles at the Ogreix Warrior's excitement)

Me- I don't blame you.

Let's get on with the fic okay?


Later that day, Artie was nervous as he didn't know what the Empress of Cold Hearts was planning as she'd stolen Kai his adopted son from him and turned him against him and the others as he knew that Kai had been upset but hoped Shrek and the others were coming soon.

He could use their help as the people of Far, Far Away were worried about the Empress of Cold Hearts as they didn't want to become her victim and turn against the kingdom and him.

"I wish I could fix this.

Then Kai would be with me again." he thought.

He hoped things in Duloc were okay as he hoped things were okay.........


At the swamp, Leah was sparring against Fiona in preparation for battling the Empress of Cold Hearts as they were using jutsu and swords but it was a very fierce battle as Shrek and Carley along with Puss were watching as it was very intense as both females weren't giving up without a fight or with whatever energy they had left in their bodies as Leah smiled seeing a certain ebony haired princess approach the swamp as Fiona was distracted as Leah adminstered the final blow as she sent the ogress off her feet.

"Yes I won!" the hazel eyed girl said.

Fiona got to her feet rubbing her arm.

"That was pretty clever using Snowdrop to win." she answered.

"Hey it doesn't matter who won.

At least it was fun." Leah answered as they shook hands.

Shrek watched as Snow hugged Fiona as they smiled broadly entering the house but he saw Carley's eyes go wide and smile evilly as she sensed two very strong and familiar Arian auras as Leah had a feeling who they belonged to.

"Shrek-chan!" they heard a voice scream in glee.

Ir belonged to a dark blue skinned Ogreix Warrior with pointed ears which were covered by long tendril like dark hair as her dark eyes were filled with happiness as she hugged the male ogre as Carley giggled hugging Shrek too.

"Umm....... Carley could you tell Ogre Child to get off me please?" he pleaded.

The lilac red and black haired young adult nodded as she saw Jen walk out of the house.

He then shot a blast of his Gold Heart Ogreix hit his wife as she flew off Shrek but landed on her butt as she growled getting to her feet.

"Sorry about her.

She's on her Growth Pains so she's not acting normal.

Her hormones are all nuts right now." he told him.

Carley understood that as she knew how that felt as Ogre Child saw that she needed to stop the Empress of Cold Hearts as Leah and Ogre Child agreed as they saw her yawn as they had a feeling she was tired as they saw Shrek and Jen sparring which worried them.

"It's okay guys.

Jen has better control over his feelings towards Shrek-chan.

He's probably wanting to train." Ogre Child answered.

They saw her fall asleep while lying on the grass as they saw that Jen had stopped.

They then went inside but Jen was carrying Ogre Child inside as he knew coming here from Aria tired them but he had gotten rid of his fatigue by training as Fiona was happy to see them.

Jen then watched as Shrek carried Ogre Child to the spare room as Carley and Leah were staying in another spare room.

Jen hoped that they could stop the Empress of Cold Hearts.


Later that night the Empress of Cold Hearts had used her dark Arian magic to see what was happening at the swamp but growled seeing Ogre Child and Jen were there as she had a feeling Carley had brought them here as she knew she was the true ruler of Aria but Kai was curious about them as she had an idea.

"Who're they Mistress?

They're not from here." the ogre teen asked.

"They're the ones who drove me from Aria but here I have the upper hand." she said.

Kai then listened as she told him what she wanted him to do.

He was in awe as he went to the swamp to carry out his mission.

He hoped he could help his mistress as he went to Duloc and hoped that things would be okay as he couldn't wait to have fun with them.......


Later that night Leah noticed that Carley was still up but saw worry in her blue eyes as she had a feeling she was thinking about what was going on after they along with Ogre Child and Jen had heard from Shrek what had been happening and was trying to think of a way to help as she understood as they were quiet as she attempted to look at the stars in the night sky.

"You okay?" she heard someone say.

She felt Leah's hand on her shoulder and felt better.

"I will be once I figure out a way to help our friends." she answered.

She then saw somebody in her room as she smiled knowing who it was as a certain silver grey furred Psammeadis Knight was sitting on the bed in black pyjamas with purple sleeves.

"Izzard you're here!" Carley said hugging him.

He smiled seeing her become her Psammead form as she was happy to see him here as she yawned as she fell asleep by his side as Leah left them to sleep..........
