A/N Here's more and I'm glad a lot of people like this.

Thanks to those who reviewed.


Fiona and Artie wondered what Harold wanted but Fiona had a feeling it was about her but Artie wondered why but saw a sad look in his uncle's eyes.

"There's something we need to tell Fiona." Harold said.

"What is it Daddy?" Fiona asked him.

"You're going away for a while." he said.

He and Lillian saw both Fiona and Artie exchange a look of worry at that but Lillian understood as she knew Fiona would be scared but needed to reassure her it would be okay.

"You're not staying away from us forever.

It's to help you with your curse." she said seeing Fiona calm down.

"It is?" Artie asked.

Lillian nodded.

"Yes because once a prince comes and breaks the spell, the curse will be broken." she told him.

They understood as they went to play......


Snow along with Shrek and Snowgre wondered what was bugging Artie.

But they were shocked as Artie told them what they'd heard from Fiona's parents but Artie reassured them she wouldn't leave them forever but he saw that Shrek looked very worried as they were playing but Snowgre understood because Fiona was his cousin's best friend and was worried by her leaving in a few months but Artie along with Snowgre wanted to help him for when that happened.

He then saw him on a swing alone but understood as he along with Snow and Fiona went to school.

But they hoped their friends would be okay.


Later when they came back, they noticed that Shrek was gone but Fiona was worried.

They saw Snowgre look sad as he joined them but he knew why his cousin had ran off.

"He felt it was better this way than having to see you leave." he answered.

Fiona along with Artie understood but hoped they could finmd him but heard crying come from Snowgre's cave as Fiona looked inside and saw her friend curled up in a ball and felt bad for him knowing he was upset because of her but understood as she joined him.

"What're you doing here?" she asked him.

"Hiding so that I don'r feel bad when you leave.

You're my best friend and without you, I'd be lonely again." he told her.

She understood as she hugged him.

"You're my best friend too but I won't forget you." she answered as he smiled as they went to play.

But they saw a pair of glowing green eyes as they were in the forest as Snowgre was about to check it out when something jumped out but Fiona and the others were amazed as it was a kitten with orange fur, white paws and little boots on his paws.

"Who're you?" Artie asked.

"P-Pussado but my siblings call me Puss.

Who're you?" he answered nervously.

"I'm Artie snd my cousin Fiona and our friends Snowgre, Shrek and Snow." he told him.

"O-Ogros are your amigos?" Puss asked.

"Yeah.

They may be ogres or whatever you said but they're nice once you get to know them." Artie said.

The male feline smiled as they played for the rest of the day.


That night Artie lay awake but went into Fiona's room but found her awake.

"Do you think Mommy and Daddy will miss me?" he heard her ask.

That surprised Artie because normally she was asleep but right now he knew she was really scared about this going to the tower deal but was surprised because nothing really bothered or scared her but this did.

"They will Fi-Fi because I overheard them talking and they seemed sad." he answered.

"Because I'm an ugly, hideous beast at night?" she countered.

"You're not a monster but you look pretty cute for a girl ogre.

I like having an ogre cousin." he told her.

Fiona smiled yawning.

"Thanks Artie.

I like you too." she said falling asleep.......
