The League of Super Evil Chapter 35: Shrek Flashback VII
Shrek woke up next to his lovely ogre girlfriend Fiona. He smiled as they looked at each other awake, happy to merely be with one another. Shrek was so overjoyed in his swamp, as he had all the friends and family he could ever hope for. Shrek had hoped for nothing to change. And then it all did.
Shrek had married Fiona, as Donkey had married his girlfriend Donkey. Donkey had children with his girl, though Shrek desired for no such thing with Fiona. He shuddered at the thought of having to share her attention with children.
Shrek disliked one thing about Fiona though, and that was how she stayed in contact with Dreck. Dreck was Fiona's ex, a blue ogre who was rude and crude, and always treated Fiona falsely. It bothered Shrek to no end.
However, Shrek started to realize that around Fiona he did not feel as if he were worhthy. Shrek noticed many things wrong about himself that he did not care for, and he realized how much he missed Shadow from High School. Shrek simply did not feel true to himself around Fiona and that eventually made him lose interest in the short lived thing they had.
Shrek sighed the next morning, and the next morning, and the next morning, etc. Shrek couldn't stand another day in his now cluttered swamp. Shrek decided to have a private talk with Donkey.
"So, you really sure you want to just up and leave Fiona like this?" Donkey asked.
"Aye. I know it's rude but I'll sort myself out later. Besides, I think she deserves a better me," Shrek said.
"One that wouldn't run away from her," Donkey said seriously.
Shrek suddenly felt tense.
"Look Donkey, you can be a bit annoying at times but I'm not in the mood for you to boss me around today," Shrek said.
"I'm serious Shrek. Don't do this man, don't do this to her. She needs you..." Donkey said.
"Does anybody else need me?" Shrek said mockingly.
"I need you," Donkey said.
Shrek looked away.
"I'm not in the mood. Don't act like we're all campy just because we just so happen to be friends. Peh," Shrek said.
"Come on Shrek, but we all love you. Fiona especially. You can't just walk out on your girl!" Donkey pleaded.
"What do you know about love, Donkey?" Shrek asked.
"I have a wife," Donkey replied.
"A dragon wife that's likely just going to eat you after it's bred and fed," Shrek remarked.
"Not cool man," Donkey said, wandering away. He felt deeply wounded, being sick of the constant jokes those would make of his and his dragon wife's love.
Shrek felt guilt as Donkey stormed off, regretting what he said. He knew deep down inside comments as such offended Donkey but was also truly concerned about him and felt as if Doneky wasn't safe being in a relationship with a dragon.
Shrek slipped back into his house. He heard the sounds of a shower and Fiona singing. The song made his heart feel warm and fuzzy, but he ignored those feelings as he made way to grab a secret key under his alarm clock that he took out to the swamp to unlock a shed. He used that to open a vault with a bag of supplies within it.
"I'm sorry my friends, but I must leave now..." Shrek said. He put the bag on and made his way out of the swamp, climbing up a giant, green, and lush hill that gave him a great view of the surrounding world.
Shrek took in a deep breath of air.
He had reunited with Shadow and learned of the affair Shadow had had with him.
Shrek had become an alcoholic while trying to get over his loss of Shadow.
Shrek had reunited with Elsa in rehab after deciding to pick his life back up once more.
Shrek had been assimilated into a program that promised him great rewards for his deeds alongside Elsa, both of them more or less getting brainwashed into being evil.
Before all that, Shrek had gone to High School, and before that he had lost his older brother Shrack.
He had crushed for Shadow.
He had been bullied.
He had found a friend and mentor in his teacher Mr. Drake
He had met and made friends with Elsa and her sister.
Shrek had graduated.
More recently, however, Shrek had fallen into an evil slum. He had tried to assassinate President Lincoln.
He had fought the Friendly Neighborhood Individual Justice Committee.
He had helped an onslaught on an island.
He had been given super strength.
He had been given a healing factor.
He had cheated on Elsa.
He had fought SHIELD and the Avengers.
He had switched sides to a path of good.
He had decided to truly fix his negative traits.
He had decided to atone for his mistakes for Elsa.
He had helped a gang of heroic thieves save the world.
But where was Shrek to go next? The very place he was just leaving now in this flashback.
Shrek longed for his swamp. He thought back to the times he had in it, where he was able to wallow in his own self pity and former negative character. It felt easy, and he missed when things were easy. Now he felt as if he had nothing to do once more besides loaf around and wait for things to happen. He knew he couldn't return, though. Back home Fiona awaited as did Donkey, and the others. He longed for simplicity but not for his past; not his former self or the repercussions of his decisions. Shrek was happy now, excited for the future, but he wanted to check in on things back home. He needed a reason; an excuse. Shrek sighed, trying his best to fall asleep in the comfy castle beds of Arendelle Castle. Shrek was sure things would soon become fast paced and exciting as usual again in no time, as he went through group after group and struggle after struggle ever since he joined The League Program. He felt worried, though... as if something bad were about to happen. Just as those thoughts were nearly put to rest, Shrek suddenly heard a knock on his door.
"Shrek, someone has sent you mail," Elsa said. She slipped the letter under the door and Shrek walked over to pick it up.
"Thanks. I'll read it after I finally get some sleep. I've been up all night," Shrek said.
"No problem. Get some rest," Elsa said over the door.
