Friendship is A Precious Gift

A/N Here's more of the fic.

I agree with reviewers that this is a cute fic and thanks to those who reviewed but one of them gave me a great idea and some of it might go into this chapter.

I hope you guys like.

A year had passed and it was Winter once more and Fiona was excited as she saw snow falling as she woke up as she got dressed at once and went out into the forest but the snow made it feel magical as she heard laughter as Snow along with Artie and Shrek were having a snowball fight.

Snow and Shrek hugged her as some of the snow got onto her kelly green dress making the young princess laugh as the wind whipped through her unbraided red hair which surprised them.

"You just woke up, didn't you?" Artie asked his cousin.

"Mmm-hmm.

But when I saw the snow, I wanted to go play at once so I didn't braid it yet or have breakfast.

Are you guys having a snowball fight?" Fiona answered.

"Yeah but we were waiting for you.

Also Shrek looks a little nervous." Artie heard Snow say.

Fiona then began joining in the game and laughing as being with her friends made her happy.

But they didn't know that Rapunzel was watching them as she threw a snowball with a stone in it at her but hit Shrek instead.

"Hey that wasn't nice Rapunzel!" Snow said as Fiona agreed with her and Artie.

"I'm surprised you'd play with her Snowdrop.

She's a monster so playing with her makes you a freak along with your little ogre friend.

I'm gonna tell the other kids not to play with you at school." she said running off.

But then she was hit with a snowball as somebody ran to Shrek's side.

It was an ogre kid with light blue skin, green eyes with white fur covering most of his body wearing warm clothes and a black jerkin but Shrek smiled seeing him.

"Who's that?" Fiona asked her friend.

"This is Snowgre.

He's my cousin but a little more free spirited than me.

He's just shy around new people but once he gets to know you, he'll be fine." he answered.

"You threw that snowball at Rapunzel?

Cool!" Artie said.

"T-Thanks.

You won't hurt me, right?" Snowgre said as Fiona shook her head.

"Nope Snowg these are my friends Snow, Artie and this is Fiona.

She rocks." Shrek told his cousin but Snowgre smiled shyly.

"What's wrong with you guys?

Why're you sad?" he asked.

"Rapunzel's going to tell the other kids at school not to play with us just because we like playing together and being friends and she called us freaks." Artie answered.

Snowgre understood.

"She's stupid because you guys are cool.

You helped my cousin make friends.

She'll never know about other people unless she tries." he told them.

Fiona smiled at that as they went inside Fiona's house.

At school Fiona, Artie and Snow along with Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty were sitting at a table making Christmas cards but the two other princesses had ignored Rapunzel and the other kids because they were good friends with Fiona and Artie along with Snow but at playtime they just stayed inside and were drawing but they heard screaming as they looked out the window seeing Snowgre running around throwing snowballs which made Artie giggle a lot along with Fiona and Snow.

"Do you know that kid?

He's funny!" Cinderella said.

"Yeah we do.

He's Shrek's cousin.

His name's Snowgre." Artie said laughing hard.

But the rest of the day, Rapunzrl was being mean and pulling on Fiona's braid which angered Artie but they ignored her and couldn't wait to go home and play in the snow but hoped Shrek was okay.

Later that day, the students of Far, Far Away Elementary were very happy as school let out for the day.

Artie laughed as he along with Fiona and Snow ran into the forest but heard laughter as they saw Shrek and Snowgre running around throwing snowballs and noticed snow forts.

"Hey guys." Artie said as the two young ogres stopped playing.

They laughed talking about what had happened at school but Fiona was curious.

"Where's your cousin going to live?

Didn't his parents send him away?" she asked Shrek.

"I ran away.

I'm living in a cave I found near here." Snowgre answered.

They were nervous hearing that.

"Aren't you afraid of being in the dark?" Artie asked.

"I used to but I got over it." he answered him.

Shrek saw his cousin shiver but his fur bristled a little warming up.

They then played for many hours......

But Harold sighed as he watched them playing outside especially Fiona remembering what the Fairy Godmother had told him as Lillian joined him.

"To break the spell, Fiona must stay in a dragon guarded tower." her voice echoed in his head.

"Harold are you okay?" she asked her husband.

"I-I'm fine but thinking about what the Fairy Godmother told me." he answered.

Lillian was shocked at that.

"You can't be thinking about sending her away to the tower.

You know how it would affect her and us." she said to him.

He sighed as Fiona and Artie entered.......
