CHAPTER 13

ONE CRAZY BALL

The ball was just beginning and everything looked so beautiful. Roses and various amounts of flowers were placed everywhere. Lots of red could be seen. Kitty and her father were the last ones to arrive, still arm and arm. Puss was happy to see his wife and father-in-law. Roberto gave Kitty away to her husband, smiling as he did so and walked over to Lupe. All of their friends even came to the ball. Shrek and Fiona were there as well as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. They were also surprised to see a guest come as well. It seems as though Donkey and Dragon had arrived with the Drokeys, the little dragon-donkey babies. It was unusual to see, but that's what came along for the couple. When Donkey went around looking for Puss and Kitty, he was freaking out when Shrek told him that they were there, but they were slightly different.

"A slightly difference?" Donkey asked, "You call being turned into humans a slightly difference? That's a major difference right there. Just look at these two. You can already tell that they were cats once because of Puss`s orange hair and Kitty's black hair. I will say this, though. They look a lot better as humans than they did cats."

"Thank you for your honesty, Donkey," Puss said.

"Has anybody seen Jane?" Kitty asked.

"Who's Jane?" Donkey asked.

"She's Puss and Kitty's Guardian Godmother," Shrek said, "She's a fairy, but she doesn't have wings."

"She has to earn her wings by passing her test," Fiona said.

"What in the world happened around here while I was on my family vacation?" Donkey asked.

"Shrek and I will explain everything, Donkey."

"Come with us," Shrek said.

As those three walked away, Puss and Kitty were finally alone. Puss embraced his wife. "Now that were alone, I believe we should show off by doing the tango."

"I like the sound of that," Kitty said.

As the music started playing, Puss and Kitty took center stage. They began to dance, twirling each other and taking it one step forward and one step back. They were having such a great time. Some people always ask does it take two people to tango. Well, if you have a group of two people joining in on the dance, that could count.

Puss places his eyes on Kitty. "You know, Kitty, I've been thinking about our dance in the desert. Remember when I said that if we went our separate ways, we go our separate ways together?"

"Yes, go on," Kitty said.

"Well, that was said when we were cats. I was thinking that if we were to leave the kingdom after all this is over, we leave the kingdom together as human."

Kitty's eyes widened a bit and her smile went away. "Oh, I don't know, Puss. I've been a cat most of my life. Although, I do miss having nails and wearing beautiful dresses and the works. Oh, Puss, I want to stay this way forever. This is what I want."

"Then it shall be given to you."

"But is this what you want?"

"It doesn't matter what I want. I care about what you want. The most I want is to make all your wildest dreams come true."

A microphone sounded throughout the room, with the king and queen standing on the stage. Roberto cleared his throat. "Attention, everyone. It is time for my wife and I to give our daughter's new husband his blessing as an honor to be a part of this family. May we have Puss in Boots and Kitty come up to the stage."

Puss and Kitty made their way up to the stage. With a smile on his face, Roberto began. "Throughout the years and generations of kings and queens, tonight is the night for my wife and I to give our blessing to our daughter and her wonderful husband Puss in Boots. As of now, I shall give my royal blessing-"

"Excuse me, your Majesty," said a mysterious voice, "I would like to say something about these two." The mysterious person came up out of nowhere, revealing herself as the fairy everyone in the kingdom knew. "Hello there, citizens of Mainland. I have returned."

Everyone gasped. Roberto had eyes filled with anger. "Caterina! What are you doing here? I thought I banished you."

"Oh, you do a lot of things, King Roberto. You see, as a fairy, I can go wherever I want, whenever I want. You can't banish a fairy. If you don't let me stay here at this ball, I'll just have to turn everybody here into warty little toads. I'm sure you don't want a kingdom's full of those things, do you?"

"No, I cannot let that happen to the people."

"Then you better let me stay if you know what's good for you."

"Think again, Caterina," said a familiar voice. Everyone looked to see Jane Blue, who had a look of anger on her face.

Caterina gasped. "How did you get out of that bird cage? I took your wand from you."

"Don't you remember the rules of being a fairy? You always have a spare wand with you at all times."

"Oh, you always try to ruin everything for me."

"I'm not trying to ruin anything for you. I'm just trying to stop you from causing anymore trouble." Jane ran over to the king and queen. "Your Majesties, you must listen to me."

"I suppose you can explain what's going on," Roberto said.

"Of course," Jane said, taking a deep breath, "It all started when I became Puss and Kitty's Guardian Godmother. Details for that will be explain at another time. I'm doing the best I can to help them in order to earn my wings, but Caterina is trying to stop that from happening. She placed a potion in my supply closet and it ended up changing Puss and Kitty into humans after Puss drank it. These two will never be cats again, thanks to Caterina. If these two don't kiss by midnight before the last chime, they'll be turned into frogs. If they do kiss, they'll be humans forever. There's no way to reverse the curse because of Caterina. She's not a fairy. She's really a witch."

Everyone gasped. The king gave Caterina a dirty look. "Get out of this kingdom immediately."

"You'll have to do better than that to get rid of me," Caterina said, shooting a spark of magic from her wand, hitting Jane in the chest.

People gasped in horror. Jane stood up, but fell back down. She looked at the clock. It was five minutes until midnight. She gasped. "Oh, no. Midnight is near."

"I'll make sure that those two never kiss," Caterina said.

Puss looked to see that the clock almost said midnight. He knew that he and Kitty must kiss before it's too late. He placed his hands in Kitty's. "Kitty, are you sure this is what you want? Because if we kiss now, we will not turn into frogs and will stay this way forever."

Kitty nodded. "Yes, Puss. This is what I want."

"I hope you two have made your decision because I can't keep Caterina distracted for this long," Jane said.

"What?" Caterina asked.

As soon as midnight struck, Puss and Kitty's lips touched. They kissed like they never had before. Lots of love, lots of happiness and plenty of dreams that will come true. Once the last chime rang, their lips parted. They looked to make sure that nothing else happened. It didn't. They were still humans.

Jane smiled. "You did it."

"No!" Caterina shouted, "This can't be happening. This should be my time to shine. You took it away from me. You've taken everything away from me. Oh, why must you always try to make dreams come true?"

"It's what I was born to do, Caterina."

"Well, since the potion didn't turn those two into frogs, I'll just have to turn them into something else." Using her wand, she casted a spell that traveled towards Puss and Kitty.

Roberto`s eyes widened. "No!" He jumped in front of his daughter and son-in-law, getting hit with the spell himself. Some of the spell was reflected back to Caterina, who was hit with her own spell and disappeared with violet sparkles surrounding her. They say that once a fairy is hit by her own spell, they disappear forever. The only thing left behind was her sparkling dust.

Everyone looked to see Roberto`s clothing scattered on the ground. One look and Kitty buried her head on Puss`s shoulder. That's when they saw movement coming from the clothes. They looked to see a gray cat emerge from the king`s clothes, wearing the king`s crown. He looked up at everyone. "Hello."

"Papa?" Kitty asked.

"Roberto?" Lupe asked.

"It seems as though I have changed back to what I once was before," Roberto said, "I was born a cat, but when I was young, I asked a kind witch to turn me into a little boy. A human. She did, and the king and queen became my parents. I apologize for all of this ever happening in the first place. I should've told you all about my past, but I didn't. I was ashamed. My biggest apology goes to my family, especially Puss. I was wrong about everything. I feared that you would take my daughter away from me, but you didn't. You brought her back home and agreed to come see us. For all that you have done, I give you my blessing and proudly call you my son. Welcome to the family, Puss in Boots."

Everyone cheered, happy to see that Puss was now a part of Kitty's wonderful family. Not only was that wonderful, but Jane Blue finally earned her wings. Looks like everyone's dreams came true.

I KNOW. THIS WAS SUCH A CHEESY ENDING, BUT I DO HAVE A SURPRISE. SEQUEL TIME. SEE YA.

PLEASE REVIEW.
