The next day soon came. To Shrek's surprise, he woke up and he saw that the barn was filled with women who seemed to be obsessed with him.

"Good morning, sleepy head." One girl smiled.

"We love your kitty and doggy~" Another girl smiled as she held Puss and Patch in her arms.

"Here, I fetched a pail of water." One girl told Shrek and handed him a bucket of water.

"Um, Shrek, before you drink the water, you should see your reflection." Patch said.

"What about my reflection?" Shrek asked as he was about to take the bucket only to see he had human hands and then took the bucket and saw a human man's image in the place of his own reflection which made him yelp and drop the water bucket flat on the ground. "A cute button nose? Thick, wavy locks? Taut, round buttocks? I'm... I'm..."

"Human." Mo confirmed.

The women giggled as they looked attracted to human Shrek.

"I'm Jill~" The girl with the pail of water giggled. "What's your name?"

"Um... Shrek." The former ogre replied.

"Wait, where's Donkey?" Amber asked.

"Who are you calling donkey?" Donkey's voice asked before everyone turned to see a heroic white horse outside, almost looking like an earth pony version of Shining Armor.

"Donkey?" Shrek asked. "You're a-"

"A stallion, baby! I can whinny. I can count," Donkey smiled at his new form. "Look at me, guys! I'm trotting! That's some quality potion. What's in that stuff?"

"Puss?" Darla asked the cat who had the potion.

Puss read aloud what the potion said only for it to be just what Cherry read last night to everyone while Donkey happily trotted in place like a happy horse.

"It really is." Shrek agreed with Cherry as he found the midnight spell to be an old fairy tale cliché.

The women volunteered to be Shrek's true love since they had crushes on him.

"Look, ladies, I already have a true love." Shrek told them.

"Aww..." The women pouted.

"But Shrek, you'll need new clothes." Atticus said.

"What's wrong with these clothes?" Shrek asked before his pants soon fell to his ankles since his clothes were too big for his human form.

"That," Atticus replied. "Let's get you out of those clothes."

The women gasped out of delight and excitement.

"And into something less big." Atticus said.

"Where could we find clothes though?" Darla asked. "Is there a clothes spell?"

"I don't think it would be good for me to do it," Atticus replied. "We are from a different Era after all."

"I saw someone riding in a carriage up the road from here," Donkey suggested. "Maybe we can borrow clothes from them."

"Sounds good to me." Mo said.


They soon went in the way as a carriage ride was going, Darla then threw herself down and yelled out as she pretended to be run over.

"Driver, stop!" A man told the carriage driver which soon stopped it and he came to see Darla in dismay.

"You monster... You run over a poor and innocent child!" Darla cried out as she used her acting lessons. "Oh, it's all dark and cold... I may never be able to play the violin again!"

'Thank you, God, if you may or may not exist, for Darla's acting skills.' Cherry thought to herself.

"You poor child!" The man cooed to Darla. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well, I guess there is one thing." Darla hid a small smirk.

"Take off the powdered wig, and step away from your drawers." Puss soon appeared and threatened the man with his sword.

The man shivered nervously and removed his wig to give Shrek his clothes.

And unfortunately, those weren't working for Shrek as he looked ridiculous.

"Not bad." Puss said.

"Not bad at all." Donkey added.

Shrek looked uncomfortable as the clothes were too small for him. Everyone soon looked to each other and laughed out loud, even Cherry was laughing at Shrek. Their laughter seemed to catch someone else's attention who was also in the carriage.

"Father?" The younger man asked as he came out of the carriage. "Is everything all right, Father?"

The laughter soon died down as they saw this younger man's clothes.

"Oh, those look much better." Darla told the others.

"Agreed." Amber nodded.

Shrek then put on the younger man's clothes, but kept on the wig for right now as he rode on Donkey's back. "Thank you, gentlemen! Someday, I will repay you. Unless, of course, I can't find you or if I forget."

Donkey then bucked up which made Puss slip off of his back and he trotted into the kingdom of Far, Far Away, leaving the men in their underwear and in misfortune. Puss yelled angrily in Spanish since he was bucked off of Donkey's back. Atticus and the others soon joined them. Shrek was a little nervous, but as they rode into town, everyone was very friendly and nice to him since he was a fellow human.


Verna soon appeared into Fiona's bedroom and decided to wake her up. "Wake up, dear, it's morning." She then smiled to the adult princess.

"Okay, I'm getting up." Fiona yawned as she got up.

Verna smiled to her, but gasped in slight surprise. Fiona moved herself out of bed as she came to wash her face and begin her morning routine, but when she dried her face and saw her reflection, she screamed as soon as she saw that she was human again.

"How is this possible?" Verna asked.

"What did you do to me?" Fiona asked her.

"I haven't done anything other than helping your parents put you to bed last night when that terrible storm hit." Verna told the princess.

They soon heard Shrek's voice.

"Shrek?" Fiona wondered.

"Fiona?" Shrek's voice asked.

"Shrek!" Fiona called out as she soon left her room to find her husband.

"Something's up." Verna said.


"Princess!" Donkey greeted.

"Donkey?" Fiona looked confused to see Donkey as a horse.

"Wow, that potion worked on you too?" Donkey smiled to Fiona.

"I knew it!" Mo cheered.

"What potion?" Fiona asked.

"Shrek and I took some magic potion, and well, now, we're sexy!" Donkey told her.

Fiona tilted her head to see someone on Donkey's back. "Shrek...?"

It was actually Puss who was licking himself clean before smirking to the princess. "For you, baby, I could be~"

"Yeah, you wish." Donkey scoffed.

"Where's Shrek?" Fiona asked.

"He actually ran in after we heard you scream." Atticus said.

Fiona soon rushed inside to go find Shrek, but she was going to be in for a bigger surprise than anyone would expect her to. Patch whined slightly.

"You okay, boy?" Atticus asked his dog.

"Something is not right." Patch replied.

"What do you mean?" The girls asked.

"I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach." Patch groaned.

"Did you try eating grass?" Mo suggested. "Angel always eats grass when she has a stomach ache since I couldn't take her to the vet."

"No, I mean like something bad is going to happen." Patch said.

"What could happen?" Cherry shrugged.


Eventually, Shrek soon left the castle and he looked anything but happy.

"Shrek, what's wrong?" Mo asked.

Shrek didn't answer her.

"Shrek?" Donkey asked.

"Señor?" Puss added.

Shrek seemed to ignore them all as he was in a bad mood right now.

"Half of us should stay at the castle while the rest go find out what happened with Shrek." Mo said.

"Well, you know me, I'm gonna go with Shrek." Atticus told her.

"I'm worried too, but could I stay with Queen Lillian?" Darla asked her big brother. "She smells nice and she makes me feel so special. Kinda like Mary Poppins or Maria from The Sound of Music."

"Sure." Atticus smiled.

Amber and Annabelle agreed about staying with the queen. Mo decided to stay with them and so did Cherry while the guys decided to go with Shrek. The girls could now see why Patch had a bad feeling. Shrek was at the bar with the others as he looked rather depressed about what had happened.


When the girls came in the castle, they saw Fiona with Prince Charming who was pretending to be Shrek.

"Who is that?" Mo asked.

"Guys, you're back..." Fiona said to the others. "I found Shrek."

Prince Charming gave a small smirk toward them all, though of course, they knew that was not the ogre they knew and loved as a human.

"But, that's not-" Darla spoke up only to be cut off.

King Harold and Queen Lillian came to see what was going on.

"Charming...?" King Harold asked.

"Oh, do you think so, Dad?" Prince Charming chuckled. "I was hoping you'd approve."

"Um... Who are you...?" Queen Lillian asked the prince.

"Mum, it's me, Shrek," Prince Charming replied. "I know you never get a second chance at a first impression, but, well, what do you think?"

"But he's not Shrek!" Darla told them.

"Not Shrek?" Prince Charming asked Darla. "Oh, you must not recognize me this way, I know, it's a big change for everybody."

"You're not Shrek!" Darla glared. "You are an impostor!"

"Yeah, because we just saw him walking out of the castle and he looked upset." Amber said.

"I'm not sure I have any idea of what you all are talking about." Prince Charming replied.

Queen Lillian looked concerned and curious, she had a feeling that the girls had to be right somehow, and so did Fiona. Prince Charming soon left with Fiona.

"You wouldn't have had anything to do with this, would you, Harold?" Queen Lillian sharply asked her husband.

The girls had the same feeling as the queen.


Meanwhile with Shrek and the others...

"Here you go, boys." Doris said as she handed drinks to the guys as they looked depressed.

"Just leave the bottle, Doris." Puss sulked as he was given milk.

"Shrek, what happened?" Atticus asked.

"It was all just a stupid mistake," Shrek sulked. "I never should have rescued her from that tower in the first place."

"What?" Patch replied. "That's crazy talk."

"I hate Mondays." Puss groaned to himself.

"Who doesn't?" Patch asked him after overhearing that.

"Shrek, what happened?" Atticus asked the former ogre. "You can talk to me."

Shrek sighed. "Fiona's found someone else."

"What?" Atticus said. "No, that can't be true."

"It is," Shrek replied. "The Fairy Godmother told me if I really loved her, I had to let her go."

"Wait, Fiona's fairy godmother?" Atticus asked.

"Yes..." Shrek sighed. "I was looking for Fiona and I found her... We found Fiona out the window with her own Prince Charming. Look, guys. It's for the best. Mom and Dad approve, and Fiona gets the man she's always dreamed of. Everybody wins."

"Not everyone." Atticus said.

"I don't get it, Shrek," Donkey told his best friend. "You love Fiona."

"Aye," Shrek nodded. "And that's why I have to let her go."

Patch soon caught King Harold's scent as he could smell him coming in.

"Excuse me, is she here?" The King of Far, Far Away asked the ugly step-sister.

"She's, uh... In the back." Doris told him.

"She?" Patch whispered.

King Harold went in the back. Patch soon snuck over and put his left ear up to listen in.


Sheba appeared to be there with Prince Charming to talk with King Harold.

"Sheba, and someone who sounds like a teenager or someone around Shrek's age?" Patch whispered.

"Oh, hello again," Harold smiled nervously. "Fairy Godmother. Charming."

"You'd better have a good reason for dragging us down here, Harold." Sheba sneered.

"Well, I'm afraid Fiona isn't really warming up to Prince Charming." Harold told her.

"FYI, not my fault." Prince Charming defended.

"No, of course it's not, dear." Sheba comforted him.

"I mean, how charming can I be when I have to pretend I'm that dreadful ogre?" Prince Charming replied. "Plus, those girly brats are totally onto me!"

"Hmm... Yes," Sheba hummed in thought. "They are rather troublesome."

"Perhaps it's best if we just call the whole thing off, okay?" Harold smiled nervously.

"What?!" Sheba and Prince Charming replied.

"You can't force someone to fall in love!" Harold defended.

"I beg to differ, I do it all the time!" Sheba smirked as she brought out a love potion. "Have Fiona drink this and she'll fall in love with the first man she kisses, which will be Charming."

'That must have been the only other potion that didn't get shattered.' Patch thought to himself.

"Umm... No." Harold told the fairy godmother.

Patch looked surprised and touched by what Fiona's father said.

"What did you say?" Sheba glared.

"I can't," Harold told her. "I won't do it."

"Oh, yes, you will," Sheba replied. "If you remember, I helped you with your happily ever after, and I can take it away just as easily. Is that what you want? Is it?"

"No." Harold frowned.

"Good boy, now, we have to go," Sheba replied. "I need to do Charming's hair before the ball. He's hopeless. He's all high in the front. He can never get to the back. You need someone to do the back."

"Oh, thank you, Mother." Prince Charming smiled to her.

"Mother?!" Donkey's voice asked.


Everyone looked to a window to see the others.

"Um... Mary! A talking horse!" Shrek smiled nervously.

"The ogre!" Sheba called out and then alerted the knights about Shrek and the others as they escaped. "Stop them! Thieves! Bandits! Stop them!"
