~* ^_^ *~ Sorry about all the stalling, I went to my cottage for a couple of days then I went to a camp with DREAMS LADY for a week then I went to my cottage for two weeks and right after I came back I went camping for three days!! I'm tired, but I mustn't disappoint my loyal fans! Thank you to all of those who have reviewed me before this was done, you're all so good to me, so this last chapter is dedicated to all of you. I luv y'all! So here's the last chapter of Shrek! THANK YOUUUUUUU!
It was morning; Kero was sleeping on his back with his legs in the air as he drooled in his sleep.
Meanwhile, Sakura; still in her sorceress form, was pulling petals from the sunflower seeing if she should tell Li the truth.
" I tell him… I tell him not… I tell him… I tell him not" She said indecisively until she came to the last petal deciding forher, " I tell him!"
Sakura got up and ran outside.
" Li! Li! There's something I want to… " She began then noticed he wasn't outside.
The sky became brighter; Sakura looked off into the East and saw the sun beginning to rise. Sakura shielded her eyes from the bright light; the air around her began to sparkle as a breeze picked up. When the breeze passed, Sakura looked down at herself and noticed she was back in her princess form. When Sakura looked up she saw Li coming over the hill.
" Li! " Sakura called out to him as she rushed down the steps.
Li didn't answer; he kept walking with this mad expression on his face.
" Are you okay? " Sakura asked as she touched his arm.
" Perfect! " He said shaking off her hand and kept walking, " Never been better! "
" I uh… " Sakura began then stalled and took a deep breath, " There's something I need to tell you! "
" You don't need to tell me anything, Princess! " Li said sharply, " I heard enough last night! "
" You heard what I said?! " Sakura said afraid of what he might think.
" Every word! " Li told her disappointed as he sat down on the steps.
Sakura was surprised at his reaction. " But I thought you'd understand! " She said
" Oh I understand! " Li said sarcastically, " Like you said! Who could love a hideous beast? "
Sakura couldn't believe the Li was acting this way; she thought he wouldn't care, " But I though that wouldn't matter to you! " She said softly.
" Yeah, well… It does! " Li said loudly trying not to sound hurt.
Sakura gasped, tears formed in her eyes as she starred at Li in shock. The sound of a horn, hooves and marching broke the disturbing silence between them.
" Ah! Right on time! " Li said, " Princess, I've brought you a little something! "
Sakura turned around to see a man in armor riding an armored horse with a few knights marching beside him.
The noise woke Kero up, " Yawn! Wha'd I miss? Wha'd I miss? " He asked as he rolled over and sat up.
The sight of the knights looking down at him silenced Kero, because some of them were the knights that had chased them before all this.
" Who said that? Couldn't of been the teddy bear! " Kero mumbled through his lips then ran over to Li and Sakura.
" Princess Sakura… " Lord Eli began
" As promised! " Li said cutting him off then he stood up and extended his hand towards him, " Now hand it over! "
"*Sighs* Very well wizard the deed to your swamp! Cleared out as agreed! Take it and go! Before I change my mind!" Lord Eli groaned as Li went up to one of the knights and snatched it out of his hands and walked off.
Lord Eli cleared his throat to get Sakura's attention; who was starring at Li in disbelief.
" Forgive me for startling you princess but, you startled me! " Eli said now receiving her full attention, " For I have never seen such a radiant beauty before! I… am Lord Eli! "
" Lord Eli…? Oh! No forgive me my Lord, for I was just saying a short… " Sakura began as lord Eli's soldiers lifted him off the horse out of his armor that made him look taller.
" …Farewell." Sakura finished finding her speech trying to sound polite.
" Oh, that is so sweet! You don't have to waist good manners on the wizard! " Lord Eli said, chuckled, then became serious again, " It's not like it has feelings! "
" No! " Sakura said agreeing as she glared at Li, " You're right! It doesn't! "
Kero was wondering what the heck was going on because he had just woken up.
" Princess Sakura! Beautiful, fair, flawless Sakura! I, ask you hand in marriage! " Lord Eli said taking hold of Sakura's hand then got down on one knee.
" Ahh! " Sakura yelled as she got pulled down unexpectedly.
" Will you be the perfect bride, for the perfect groom? " Lord Eli asked
Sakura looked up at Li. Li was watching over his shoulder, but when he saw her looking at him he went back to examining his deed.
Sakura made her decision, " Lord Eli, I accept! " She said loud enough sure that Li could hear her, " Nothing would make me… "
" Excellent! I'll start the plans! For tomorrow, we wed! " Lord Eli pronounced, cutting Sakura short of speech.
Li got fed up with all of this so he started leaving, until exclaimed, " NO! "
Everyone stared at her, Sakura blushed slightly, " I mean… why wait? Let's get married today! Before sunset! " Sakura said
Li was hurt and angry so he started walking away.
" Oh anxious are we? You're right! The sooner the better! There's so much to do! " Lord Eli decided snapping his fingers so his guards lifted him up on the horse. Sakura hopped onto the horse on her own, " There's the caterer, the band, the guest list… captain! Round up some guests! "
" Far thee well wizard! " Sakura said as she and Li went separate ways.
" Li you're letting her get away! " Kero yelled flying after Li
" Yeah, so what! " Li said ignoring him
" Li there's something about her that you don't know! Look, I talked to her last night… " Kero began as he continued to pursue Li
" Yeah I know you talked to her last night! " Li yelled angrily cutting Kero off, but stopping as well, " You're great pals aren't ya? So if you two are such good friends why don't you follow HER HOME?! "
" But Li I, I wanna go with chu! " Kero said
" Look! I already told you! You're not coming home with me! I LIVE ALONE! MY SWAMP! ME! NOBODY ELSE, UNDERSTAND?! " Li yelled in Kero's face, " Especially USELESS! PATHETIC! ANNOYING TALKING FLYING TEDDY BEARS! "
" But… I thought…" Kero began quietly
" Well you know what? You thought wrong! " Li yelled walking off
" Li… " Kero began but decided not to speak so he flew off in another direction.
The next few hours were horrible for our heroes. Sakura got on her wedding dress but couldn't stop thinking about Li. Li got home and cleaned up after the unwanted guests he had, but he couldn't stop thinking about Sakura. Kero walked around the woods, he went to get a drink from a stream when he looked around and saw the dragon from the castle beside him crying. He hesitated at first but then went and talked to the dragon.
And so the hours dragged on, Li was feeling sorry for himself, regretting what he did when he heard something outside his house. He opened the door and was surprised to see…
" Kero? " Li asked surprised
Kero was in the middle of the swamp pilling up a bunch of rocks and branches. For a little teddy bear he was strong.
" What are you doing? " Li asked helplessly as he walked over to him.
" I thought of all people you'd recognize a wall when you see one! " Kero said rudely
" Well… Yeah! But the wall's supposed to go AROUND my swamp! Not through it! " Li told him
" It is! Around ma half! " Kero told him
" Oh! YOUR half! Hm. " Li said pretending he didn't hear him correctly
" Yes MA HALF! I helped rescue the princess! I did half the work! I get half the booty! No hand me that big ol' rock! The one that looks like ya head! " Kero told him.
Li started tossing the rocks and sticks away. Kero flew up and grabbed one of the sticks and tried to pull it out of Li's grasp.
" Back off! " Li told him
" No! YOU back off! " Kero told him
" This is MY swamp! " Li yelled
" OUR swamp! Kero yelled back
" Fine! " Li yelled letting go of the stick causing Kero to fall to the ground
" Hey! Hey! Come back here I'm not through with you yet! " Kero told him as he got to his feet.
" Well I'm through with you! " Li yelled still walking
" Nah-uh! You know with you it's always me! Me! Me! " Kero yelled flying up right in front of him, " Well guess what? Now it's my turn! So you just shut up and pay attention! "
" You are mean to me! You insult me and don't appreciate anything I do! You're always pushing me around! Or pushing me away! " Kero yelled as he pursued Li who was walking away to his out house.
" Oh yeah? Well then if I treated you SO bad, how come you came back? " Li demanded
" Because that's what friends do! THEY FORGIVE EACH OTHER! " Kero said through clenched teeth as he grabbed the collar of Li's cloak.
" Oh! Yeah! You're right Kero, I forgive you! " Li said as Kero let go and back off slightly away form his face.
" FOR STABBIN' ME IN THE BACK!! " Li yelled as loud as he could in Kero's face sending him flying backwards, then stormed into his out house and slammed the door shut.
" UGH!! " Kero yelled annoyed because he couldn't get the message through to Li, " You're so wrapped up in LAYERS onion boy! You're afraid of your own feelings! "
" Go away! " Li groaned through the wooden door of the outhouse.
" See?! There you go again! Just like you did to Sakura! And all she did was like you! Maybe even love you! " Kero yelled
" LOVE ME?! She said I was UGLY! " Li yelled, " A hideous creature! I heard the two of you talking! "
" She wasn't talking about you she was talking about… uh, somebody else! " Kero said
Li opened the door to the outhouse; " She… wasn't talking about me? Then who was she talking about? " Li asked coming out.
" Oh no! You ain't getting nothing! You don't want to listen to me, right? " Kero yelled turning around knowing he had Li in the spot where he had to confess his feelings to get what he wanted, " Right? "
" Kero… " Li said trying to get it out of Kero
Kero felt like giving in, but he knew he couldn't, " No! " He told him
" Okay! I'm sorry! All right? " Li asked still not giving in to Kero's ploy
Kero looked back and glared at him telling Li that his plan wasn't working, Then he looked straight ahead of him and refused to give in.
Li sighed, he knew Kero had won even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to give in, " I'm sorry! " He said, " Maybe I am just a big… stupid, ugly wizard! Can you, forgive me? "
Kero looked at Li smiling, " Hey that's what friends are for right? " He asked turning around
" Right! " Li said agreeing as he bent down and extended his hand, " Friends? "
" Friends! " Kero said putting his hand in Li's hand.
" Li stood up knowing that now was his chance, " So, what did Sakura say about me? " He asked changing the subject
" Oh why you asking me? Why don't you go and ask her? " Kero asked
Li gasped as he slapped his hand over his forehead, " The wedding! We'll never make it in time! " He yelled franticly
Kero smiled ingeniously, " Hah-ha! Never fear! For where there's a will there's a way! And I have a way! " Kero told him then whistled.
Li shaded his eyes from the sun and looked up, and gulped when he saw the dragon from the castle fly down to them.
" Kero… " Li said as he stepped back unsure of what Kero was up to.
" Heh-ha! " Kero chuckled, " I guess it's just my animal magnetism! "
Li laughed too as a chain descended to his reach, " Oh come here you! " He said to Kero grabbing him and nudged his hand on Kero's head.
" Alright! All right! Settle down! No one likes to kiss a teddy bear! " Kero said as Li let go and began to climb so he flew up, " And hold on! I haven't had a chance to install the seat belts yet! "
Li and Kero laughed all the way to Duloc as the Dragon gave them a lift. But as they flew towards the wedding, it was already starting.
People were oo-ing and ahh-ing as a man held up a sign that said 'revered' when the priest was ready he pulled out another sign that said 'revered silence' and the people shut up and sat down. And the priest began.
" People of Duloc! We gather here today to bear a witness! To the union, of our new king…" He began
Sakura looked anxiously out the window as the sun was beginning to set, she had to do something, so she interrupted the priests, " Um… excuse me, but can we just skip ahead to the I-do's? " She asked
The priest looked at Lord Eli for his approval, lord Eli chuckled then said, " Go on! "
Meanwhile Li and Kero had arrived at the church, the dragon landed scaring off the group of guards that were there. Li jumped off and ran for the church.
" Go on, have some fun! If I need ya I'll whistle all right? " Kero said and the dragon nodded so Kero ran after Li.
" Li! Wait! You wan to do this right don't you? " Kero asked coming up in front of Li.
" Kero, what are you talking about? " Li asked annoyed
" There's a line! There's a line you gotta wait for! The priest is gonna say, speak now or forever hold your peace, and that's when you say. I OBJECT! " Kero told him.
" Oh I don't have time for this! " Li yelled going past Kero and headed for the door.
" Li wait! " Kero told him pushing him against the church's wooded door; " Look you want to do this right don't you? "
" Yes…" Li said
" You wanna HOLD HER?! " Kero asked
" Yes! " Li said
" PLEASE HER?! " Kero asked
" YES! " Li yelled
" Then ye gotta! GOTTA TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS! " Kero sang then yelled in Li's face, " The chicks love that romantic trash! "
" Alright cut it out! When does this guy say the line? " Li asked
Kero was about to answer but he didn't know the answer unless he was in the church, " We gotta check it out! " He said
They had a plan, Li tossed Kero up into the stain glass window at the front of the church because Kero was still afraid of heights and Kero could see and hear what was going no at that height.
" And so, by the power rested in me… " The priest began
* * *
" What do you see? " Li asked as he tossed Kero up
" The whole town's in there! " Kero told him as he came down.
Li tossed him up again
~~~
" I now pronounce you… " The Priest continued
* * *
" They're at the altar! " Kero told him then fell back down
~~~
" King and Queen of this perfect kingdom. " The Priest finished
* * *
" Jimminy Fletcher he already said it! " Kero said
" Oh for the love of Pete! " Li exclaimed then burst through the church doors letting Kero fall to the ground.
" I OBJECT! " He yelled running down the aisle stopping Sakura, who was about to kiss Lord Eli.
The crowd gasped as he ran down the aisle, Sakura was surprised to even see him here.
" Li? " She asked
" Oh now what does he want? " Lord Eli asked annoyed
Sakura then remembered what Li had done last time, so she was now mad along with Lord Eli. Li noticed how people were reacting to his arrival so he tried to act cool.
" Uh… Hi everyone! Having a good time! I love Duloc first of all! Very clean! " He said as he inched towards the altar.
" What are you doing here? " Sakura demanded
" Really! It's rude enough being alive when no one wants you! " Lord Eli said, " But showing up un-invited to a wedding…"
Li didn't want to listen to another word he had to say so he went ahead and said, " Sakura, I need to talk to you! "
" Oh now you want to talk? Well it's a little late for that so if you'll excuse me! " She said annoyed then went to kiss Lord Eli again
" But you can't marry him! " Li protested stopping her again.
" And why not? " Sakura demanded
" Be…cause, he's just marrying you so he can be king! " Li said having trouble finding the right words to say.
The crowd gasped but Sakura didn't know what to believe anymore, Lord Eli noticed this so he lied and said, " Outrageous! Sakura my love don't listen to him… "
" He's not you're true love! " Li told her.
Sakura didn't know who to believe all she knew was she was still mad at Li so she yelled, " Oh and what do you know about true love? "
" Well… I… " Li began then made a stuttering noise.
Sakura knew what he was trying to say; she was surprised. Lord Eli found this all quite amusing.
" Oh this is precious! The wizard, has fallen in love with the princess, oh good Lord… " He said waving to the sign man and laughing
The sign man pulled out a sign that said 'laughter' the audience began to laugh along with Lord Eli, " A wizard and a princess! " He said through laughter
Li was quite embarrassed at this event, Sakura looked at him and asked very softly, " Li, is this true? "
Li looked at her and was about to answer when Lord Eli yelled, " Who cares? It's preposterous! Sakura were about a kiss away from our, happily-ever-after! Now kiss me! Mmmm."
Lord Eli grabbed her hand and puckered up his lips to her. Sakura looked at him disgusted, then looked out at the sun that was almost finished setting. She made her decision.
" By night one way, by day another. " She recited then took her hand gently out of Lord Eli's grasp and backed up over to the window, " I wanted to show you before! "
Li didn't know what was going on. Sakura smiled then closed her eyes; a sparkly wind surrounded her as the sun finished setting behind the hills. When the sparkly dust disappeared, there was Sakura in a white outfit identical to Li's. But the thing that surprised everyone, even making a woman faint, was that Sakura had the horrid symbols on her forehead and her hands that told everyone that she was a sorceress. She smiled at Li, who was so surprised he just gawked at her, totally speechless.
" Well… that explains a lot! " He said finding his speech.
Sakura smile grew bigger, until Lord Eli said, " Ugh! It's disgusting! Guards! Guards! I order you to get them out of my sight! "
Several guards came up two staircases and went after Li and Sakura, they ran towards each other, but they got caught. Two guards grabbed Sakura and the rest went after Li.
" This marriage is binding! And that makes me king! See?! See?! " Lord Eli yelled putting the crown on and pointing to it
" Sakura! " Li yelled
" No! Let go of me! Li! " Sakura yelled trying to get out of the guards' grasp.
Lord Eli went on and on about the 'perfect kingdom' and Sakura and Li yelled each other's names then he said taking out his sword and pointing it at Sakura, " And as for you, my wife! "
" Sakura! " Li yelled trying to break free of the guard's grasp.
" I will have you locked up in that tower! For the rest of your days! " Lord Eli continued
Li shook the guards off his right arm, then he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled.
" I will have Order I will have perfection! I will have… " Lord Eli continued but wasn't able to because the dragon crashed through the glass window above him and swallowed him as he yelled in fear.
Kero climbed to the top of the dragon's head, " Don't anybody move! I got a dragon here and I'm not afraid to use it! " He yelled, " I'm a teddy on the edge! "
The guards backed off as the dragon burped out the crown and it rolled down the steps.
" Celebrity marriages! They never last do they? " Kero joked
The audience began to clap, " Go ahead Li! " Kero told him
Li walked up to Sakura, " Sakura…? " Li asked
" Yes Li? " She asked turning around and facing him
" I… I love you! " He said
" Really? " Sakura asked
" Really. Really! " He told her
Sakura smiled, " I love you too! "
They went up close to each other and kissed. Filonius took one of the signs and a blue pencils and wrote something on it, then he showed it to the audience, it said 'awww', so the audience awwed.
Just then the sparkly dust came and Sakura floated up into the air. The sparkly dust engulfed her and a bright light shined around her, it was bright and powerful, it created a wind that shattered all the glass stained windows, except one. When the wind died down Sakura collapsed to the ground.
Li rushed to her side, the dragon looked beside her, there was still the one stained glass window of Lord Eli, so she punched it and broke the glass.
" Sakura, are you alright? " Li asked helping her up.
Sakura was still in her sorceress form, even after all that, " Well, yes! But I don't understand! I'm supposed to be beautiful! " She said looking at him
Li smiled, but you are beautiful! " He told her
Sakura smiled back, " I was hoping this would be a happy ending! " Kero sighed
Li and Sakura went to kiss each other again, but Li covered the screen with his palm before doing so.
So they got married instead, and they lived happily ever after.
They had this song play at the wedding by Kero and the seven little dwarves
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Dwarves: OH!
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Or doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
Kero: Come on y'all! Then I saw her face! Hah-ha! Now I'm a believer! Not a trace! Or doubt in my mind! I'm in love! Ooohhh-ahh! I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried!
Then I saw her Face!
Now I'm a believer!
Not a trace
Or doubt in my mind!
I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-I-believe-Hey!
Y'all sing it with me!
I believe!
