I Know It's Today
A/N Here's the next one. This one is about somebody wanting to follow a dream through something they're good at but they're afraid because of how the world would judge them. But some of it might be set in the future. Enjoy
Fiona saw that Snowgre was very quiet.
He was thinking about something, a decision he had to make.
At the talent show at his high school a record producer had noticed his powerful musical talent and wanted him.
But the teen was nervous as he looked at the cell phone in his light blue skinned hand.
"You're thinking about calling, aren't you?" he heard a voice say.
He turned around to see Artie standing there.
"M-Maybe what's it to you?" Snowgre asked him.
"You wanna know what I think?
You should do it." the young king told him.
Snowgre looked at him like the world was ending.
"I-I can't." he answered.
Artie saw the look in his eyes and went silent.
He'd seen that look before... in himself when he used to be shy, under confident and alone.
"Artie if they saw me, an ogre rock star, the whole world wouldn't accept it and hate me and not give my music a chance.
It's always been my dream to be a rock god but other people will turn it into a night mare." Snowgre explained.
"No they wouldn't Snowg.
Your music is something special, it makes others wanna listen to what you have to say.
It can also help other kids who are shy and alone like you.
Please don't give up on your dreams." he mused.
But then he found something.
It was a strange staff.
It seemed to glow and he vanished.
He found himself in the future.
He heard people arguing and wondered what was wrong.
It was Shrek and somebody in a black leather jacket and jeans.
"No way!
That's... not me is it?
It... is.
Wow I look so much cooler in the future.
I wonder what's going on?" the teen thought as he got closer.
Shrek looked older like thirty.
"You can't do this.
He's your own kid!" Shrek yelled at Snowgre's adult self.
"I know but I can't take him with me.
It's not a good idea to raise a child on a life style of rock and roll.
Snow flake and I are doing what's best for Arctus." Snowgre's adult self answered as he walked off.
"I missed the old you, the one who never turned his back on family and loved his life and family.
But being a rock star... changed you for the worst.
I never should've let you become this." Shrek told him sadly as Snowgre's adult self got onto a motor bike and drove off with an ogre girl on the back like him.
"So that's what'll happen if I become a rock star.
I'll become a jerk like the jousting team at school and that's not me.
I'd rather love those around me than be an arrogant jerk who only cares for himself." he thought as he heard somebody call his name.
As his eyes opened, he found himself back in the living room.
Artie was relieved to see him wake up.
"You okay?
You scared me there!" he told him.
"It's okay Artie but why does my head hurt?" Snowgre told him.
Artie gulped as he showed him his guitar broken in two pieces.
"You tripped over this while getting ready for dinner.
You hit your head on the floor.
I got really scared when you wouldn't wake up." he explained to him.
Snowgre blushed slightly as they were still holding hands.
"S-Sorry about that." he said letting go but that made him feel sad doing that.
Artie had felt a certain way around Snowg for some time and didn't know what it was.
Until now.
"I'll... see you later." Artie said.
"Yeah... later... I guess." Snowgre mumbled softly watching him leave.
Shrek wondered what was wrong as they ate dinner.
"I'm good." he replied.
But falling asleep that night, he dreamt of him and Artie. and how good it felt...
tThat's so sweet! Yes there was a little yaoi fluff at the end of this one but it was cute. Also the dream he had sortof helped him decide but he just hasn't told anybody it yet.
I'm gonna work on the next one and it'll be here soon.
