Lonely Without You

Ch 11

Snow saw Fiona with her face buried in a pillow in the room.

She wondered why her girl friend was so down.

"I-I'll tell you.

Rapunzel told the whole kingdom about my having BBS and now the people won't stop treating me like a freak.

It hurts so much!" Fiona told her through tears.

Snow growled in anger at hearing that.

"I can't believe Rapunzel did that!

Fiona's sad enough without Rapunzel making the entire kingdom hate her." She thought as she hugged her.

She then went to find Leah and the other princesses.

"I can't believe Rapunzel would do such a terrible thing.

We've gotta get revenge on her!" Cinderella yelled.

"Yeah but how's Fiona doing?

She must be really depressed." Leah told them.

"Yeah she is.

She locked herself in her and Shrek's room asleep after crying.

I don't know what it's like to have people who treat you like that but it sounds horrible." Lillian said.

Leah noticed that Carley was silent as they talked but saw her leave using her symbol cane.

"I guess she doesn't like hearing about that seeing she has BBS like Fiona.

I feel sorry for her.

Leah told me how people in her and Carley's world treat the kid.

I hope she's okay." Snow thought as she saw Carley go for a walk.

Shrek was outside his and Fiona's room trying to get her to open the door.

"Come on honey!

Please open the door." he said banging on the door.

Artie then saw the door open but close.

"I-Is it her time of the month again?" he asked putting padding and shin guards on along with a helmet.

"No she had it last month.

She's going through something you wouldn't understand unless you have it." Leah told him.

But Leah saw Carley return.

She looked sad and about to cry.

"What's going on?" Artie wondered as he saw Leah about to follow her but Shrek stopped her.

"Let me do it.

In this kind of mood, she'll talk to me.

I know she's in a sad mood when people in your world make fun of her because she's half blind." he replied going after her.

He found her in the castle library reading fantasy books.

She seemed sad.

"... Hey what's wrong?

You seem sad.

Like Fiona at the minute but I can't figure it out.

Could you please tell me what's going on?

We are friends." he told her.

"I'll tell you.

She has the same syndrome as me but the whole kingdom hate her for it.

And they hate me too because I have BBS.

They threw sones, made rude comments about her and tried to trip her up.

They've been calling her" the Blind Princess and Princes Freaky.

I received the same treatment from those very freaks we risk our lives to save." she explained as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"I-It's okay.

They'll soon see the error of their ways sooner or later.

It was Rapunzel who did this so I might as well stop her." he reassured her.

"T-Thanks amigo.

But those guys won't stop because they treat you the same way.

Why can't they understand?" Carley told him sadly.

Fiona then saw the door open as Carley came in with Leah.

"Are you okay?

I know how it feels to be treated like a freak by people like that.

It happens to me a lot in our world." Carley asked.

"F-Fine I guess.

I'm just really down and I started wearing black." she answered looking away.

Leah then saw Snow come in.

"We found out where she's hiding.

We're leaving in a few minutes." she whispered to her.

Leah nodded.

"What did she want?" Carley asked her.

"She wanted me to help her with something.

I need you to stay with Fiona, okay?

I'll be back soon, okay?" SHE ANSWERED.

Carley watched as Leah left with Shrek and Snow.

Lillian and the other princesses were already at Fatbucks where Rapunzel was hiding out.

"Now she's gonna pay!

Nobody makes the whole kingdom hate my friend and gets away with it!" Leah thought as they used their chakra to clear the coffee house of innocent people.

Rapunzel smiled drinking lattes.

"So you finally showed up losers!" she cackled as she began to unleash chakra but Leah dodged the attacks along with Shrek and the others.

"Why do you care about what the kingdom thinks about you?

You're not supposed to care about anything!" Rapunzel yelled as Shrek cornered her.

He'd used his chakra to stick her to the wall.

"No but I care about Fiona.

How would you like it if people made fun of you because you had sight problems?

Because Fiona's going through heck because of what you did and so is Carley!" he yelled as his eyes glowed with chakra.

"So what?

They're freaks anyway.

Nobody cares about them.

So why bother?" she replied.

"You're wrong Rapunzel!

They do have people who care about them!

They have feelings just like you." Leah yelled.

Snow watched as she saw immense chakra around Leah and hit Rapunzel.

Fiona and Carley felt the kingdom and castle shake.

"I wonder what's going on?

I wonder if... they went to kick Rapunzel's ass!" Carley thought as she and Fiona were drinking coffee and eating scones.

Lillian wondered what Leah had done to Rapunzel as she staggered out of the devris.

"I... removed her chakra from her body.

That way she can't hurt anybody we care about but she's still alive." Leah answered.

She and Shrek had bruises, cuts and minor scratches all over.

"Let's just go, okay?" Doris said.

"But Rapunzel's still out there!" Snow told her.

"It's okay. She's harmless." Leah told her.

"What happened to you?" Carley asked as she hugged Leah gently.

Shrek smiled at that.

"We took care of Rapunzel because of what she did to you and Fiona." he answered her.

"Thanks guys." Carley told them but Fiona walked off.

"Is she okay?

We took care of Rapunzel so why is she like that?" Cinderella asked her worried.

"It's okay.

She needs time to adjust to having BBS like I do.

It's scary to think you're normal then find out you're disabled because of a rare syndrome.

It's hard, okay?

But maybe she'll come around with our help and love." Carley answered smiling a little...
