After Pinocchio, the three little pigs, three blind mice and the Gingerbread Man agreed to take care of the house and twins while the four were gone, Shrek, Fiona, Puss, and Donkey spent the night at the castle just in case the knights and Puss' father came back.
"I hope they come back tonight so we can finally put an end to this chaos." Fiona told the other three as they walked into the castle. The inside of the castle seemed even darker and gloomier now that they were aware someone might be coming to capture them.
"I don't! I don't want to get slayed!" Donkey exclaimed.
"Donkey, dragons get slayed, not donkeys. Now stop shivering, will ya? You're giving me the willies." Shrek turned towards Puss and Donkey who were both shivering in fear, hugging each other for comfort. "This is ridiculous! There's nothing that's coming to this castle that's scarier than me. Let's take turns keeping watch. I'll go first." Shrek said, sitting down on the hard floor of the castle. The others immediately got into their sleeping bags (that were actually the kids' so they had super heroes and flowers all over them) and went to sleep.
After what seemed like hours there was still no sign of any knights or cats other than Puss. Shrek and Fiona switched places.
Tired, Fiona sat waiting for at least something to come, but had no luck. It was extremely quiet except for the howling winds outside and the crackling of the lighted torches. What if nothing comes tonight? Then what will we do? Fiona wondered. Will we just go home and forget about it? No, that'd be stupid. If nothing comes tonight then we will probably try to hunt them down and...
Creak! The sound of a door opening seemed to come from the front door. Fiona looked around the room. The door opened, but nobody was there. A little scared, Fiona was going to try and wake up the three but before she could do so, she seemed to be dragged away by nothing.
"SHREK!" Fiona screamed. Shrek and the other two woke up in a snap. Fiona was nowhere to be seen.
"Fiona?"
Hurrying outside, the three saw that their carriage was racing down the path with Fiona tied up in the back.
"C'mon!" Shrek led the two others running after the carriage, but after a little while Puss and Donkey stopped to take a breath.
"Um... we'll catch up with you later." Donkey called. Rolling his eyes, Shrek continued to chase the runaway carriage with nobody steering it.
"Shrek! Help!" Fiona screamed.
"Don't worry, Fiona!" Shrek replied. But there was no way he could catch up. He didn't have a horse or anything that would help him catch up, so he gave up and stopped to take a breath. Donkey and Puss ran up to him.
"I am sorry, senor." Puss hung his head.
"Don't tell me you're giving up this easily? Just because we can't just fly after them... wait a minute." Donkey suddenly got an idea. Shrek and Puss knew right away what he thinking.
"Princess Fiona, here we come!" Donkey yelled happily as they rode the dragon across the dark blue sky. The land below them seemed like Joe and Amanda's dollhouse and the stars twinkled above them.
"So, have any idea where the carriage is?" Shrek asked.
"I don't know. Even at night the streets are crowded." Puss replied.
"It's easy, our carriage is the only carriage that has layers and looks like an onion." Donkey said as they gazed in awe at the streets under them. Then Donkey saw something. "Hey! I see it!" The three leaned farther over to see the carriage.
"Where?" Shrek wanted to know.
"I do not see it." Puss exclaimed.
"See, it's the little onion that's going along that line right there." Donkey pointed his hoof at the little dot below.
"Oh, now I see it." Shrek said.
"I still don't seeeeeeee..." Suddenly, Puss slipped off the dragon.
"PUSS!!!" The two others exclaimed together.
"We have to save him! C'mon, baby, down there." Donkey ordered his wife. The dragon did as it was told. But Puss kept falling and falling until he landed onto a dumpster. The dragon landed and Shrek and Donkey hurried over to him.
"Puss! Are you alright?" Shrek asked. Puss' sad eyes showed how hurt he was. His tongue had flipped out of his mouth and he moaned in pain.
"You two go on, I'll be fine. I promesa." Puss urged them.
"No, Puss, you won't. We have to get a vet!" Donkey argued.
"No, amigos, you need to save the princess. Go!" Puss refused.
"We have time, Puss. Donkey, go find the closest vet you can, we need a vet immediately!" Shrek ordered.
"Aye-aye, captain!" Donkey hurried away.
A few moments later Donkey reached the vet's office.
"Yo, vet, I need help!" Donkey told the lady at the counter.
"He will be right with you, sir." The lady replied. Lord, please let Puss be ok! Donkey prayed, silently. The vet came out and felt Donkey's pulse.
"Um... what are you doing?" Donkey wanted to know.
"You said you needed help." The doctor replied.
"I didn't mean this kind of help! A poor little kitty's in danger! Follow me!" Donkey ordered the man. So the two hurried other to Puss.
"Where's Shrek?" Donkey asked Puss.
"He didn't want to be seen." Puss gave a little hint.
"Oh, right. Hey, you sure you're alright, you sound old." Donkey asked. Puss glared at him.
"He broke his paw, and the garbage made him sick. I'm afraid he'll have to stay with us until he heals. We need to give him proper treatment." The doctor exclaimed.
"But... he can't stay over there with you! We have to save the princess!" Donkey protested.
"I am sorry, Donkey. For the way I acted today and that I won't be able to help save you. I wish you good luck." Puss apologized.
"I'm the one who should be sorry of blaming you and for the way I acted today." Donkey admitted. "Do you think you could, um... forgive me?"
"Si. I forgive you." Puss gave Donkey a warm, friendly smile, and then coughed. Donkey felt a tear roll down his cheek.
"Oh, this is all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be hurt, now." Donkey said sadly.
"Don't worry. Hurry, now, the carriage is getting away!" Puss shooed him off. Donkey ran towards Shrek who was peeking from around the corner. "Senor!" Donkey turned around. "You won't forget me, will you?" Puss asked.
"Of course, not, Puss. I could never forget you!" Donkey replied with a smile. Then Donkey and Shrek ran off.
"I hope they come back tonight so we can finally put an end to this chaos." Fiona told the other three as they walked into the castle. The inside of the castle seemed even darker and gloomier now that they were aware someone might be coming to capture them.
"I don't! I don't want to get slayed!" Donkey exclaimed.
