Friendship is A Precious Gift
A/N Here's more and I hope people like.
Snowgre then left his home as he the sun had set but hoped Artie was okay.
He then entered the castle through the secret passage Shrek had shown him a few days ago as he entered but headed for Artie's room hoping that he could help him.
Artie was eating dinner at the moment.
He hoped that Shrek was okay.
But he was surprised seeing Snowgre in his room.
"What're you doing here?" he asked as Snowgre chuckled.
"I came to see you Artie.
I heard you're being sent away to Worchester Academy.
I know how it feels to be sent away.
My father sent me away from Snowia and I had to go live here.
But I adjusted and so will you." he told him.
"I don't think so." Artie said looking at the floor.
"I know you will.
I didn't have friends until I met you along with Fiona and Snow.
You just need to believe in yourself." he told him.
Artie smiled at that.
"Thanks Snowg.
Where's Shrek?
Is he gone or nervous about me leaving?" he answered.
Snowgre shook his head.
"Nope.
He's with that dragon you guys found.
He's cute but what're you gonna do when he gets bigger?
Your Uncle will freak." he answered.
Artie then had an idea.
"Maybe when it gets too big, then you guys could release it into the wild." he suggested.
Snowgre liked the idea.
He hoped that Shrek would like that idea but heard roars of happiness and yells of excitement as they saw Shrek riding on the dragon's back.
"How did you get it to do that?
It barely listens to me and tries to singe my fur." Snowgre said.
"I guess it trusts me more.
But what're you doing here Snowg?" he answered.
But before he could answer, they saw guards surround them but Artie had a feeling they were angry about the dragon being here.
"We have to get it away from here." Snowgre said.
Shrek understood as he tried to calm the dragon down but it was too scared as a blast of fire emerged from it's mouth as it flew off but Snowgre saw fear in Shrek's hazel eyes seeing the look of total eage in Harold's eyes as he saw they'd brought the dragon with them.
Artie was worried as he had a feeling his uncle was going to blame his friends.
"I knew something dangerous would nearly happen if I let you be friends with them but now I have no choice.
Artie you are forbidden to see your ogre friends again but I hope being at Worchester will help you make better friends." he said.
Artie was unhappy hearing that but Snowgre saw sadness in Shrek's hazel eyes.
"Let's go." he said softly as they left.
Artie was sad but angry at his uncle for doing that to his friends.
Later that night Lillian wasn't happy at what her husband had done.
Harold had defended himself but knew it was no use but felt a little bad at what he'd said but he stood by his decision but he noticed his wife was mad as they fell asleep that night but he knew that Artie was leaving for Worchester the next day but there was nothing he could do but wished he could go against his brother Uther but couldn't.
He then fell asleep but slept fitfully.
Artie wasn't in the mood to sleep as he snuck out of the castle and into the forest.
He was mad at his uncle for saying he couldn't be with his friends anymore but knew it hadn't been Shrek's fault but both ogres were surprised to see him.
"What're you doing here?
If your uncle finds out........" Shrek said worried.
"It doesn't matter what he thinks.
Besides I used the secret passage.
There's no way I'd waste the last night here sleeping." he answered.
Snowgre chuckled at his friend's stealth but hoped Harold wouldn't be mad but Artie was right.
They then had fun for the rest of the night but Snowgre was feeling better but he noticed the sun was coming up which worried both him and Shrek knowing today Artie was leaving for Worchester.
They then saw Artie return to the castle but they hoped that he wouldn't forget them while at Worchester but decided to leave before Harold found them.
