Princess Fiona: A Life Before Shrek

Princess Fiona stared out her window into the boiling pit of lava below. Bubble bubble. That's all the lava ever did. Someone cleared their throat behind her. Fiona turned back to see her guardian dragon behind her. She looked down at the cards she had been holding in her hand. Full house. Again. She was becoming far to good at this game, after all, she had been playing it almost every day for her whole life. There wasn't much to do in a run down castle like this. Fiona was thinking about sprucing the place up a bit, but for that, she would need a lot of water and soap and paint and tools and furniture and curtains and... well, you get the point. She laid down her cards.

"Full house" she said in a bored way.

The dragon sighed loudly and threw her cards down.

"Now where is that delivery boy? It's been nearly 3 days since I ordered that pizza! When it finally does get here, I'm not paying for it!" Fiona said. This happened a lot. The Princess got up and said to the dragon, "I'm going to go watch some TV." and she did.

She walked all the way down the stairs and into the TV room. There she popped in her exercise tape entitled, "Defying Gravity, A Guide to Impossible Stunts that Take Hours to Learn" This was how the Princess Fiona lived most of her life. When she wasn't playing cards, or watching videos she was looking through magazines, imagining her life when she got rescued. Fiona subscribed to about 20 magazines. Among them were, "Duloc Teen" and "Being a Princess" not to mention "Ways to Cook Human" That was the dragon's magazine of course. Almost needlessly said, the Princess Fiona led a very dull life. This is what she was thinking of one day, while sitting in her room, that eventful day that a large person came crashing through her ceiling. The day she had been waiting for had finally come! She was FINALLY getting out of here. Who cares if it meant that the dragon, who wasn't all that mean, was dead? She was finally leaving. She quickly laid on the bed, grabbed some flowers and waited for her handsome prince to come. Life didn't turn out exactly as she had planned, but that is already a copyrighted movie, so I won't go into it.

Authors Note: I seem to have an obsession with writing these lately. Though none of them are QUITE like the first one, I still like them. I am trying to write more seriously lately. You know, with complete sentences and all. Sorry if you don't like the new versions but there is nothing much I can do about it. Hope you liked!!! I actually have a whole series of these running through my head, so they might actually become a chapter book soon, but I don't know. I kind of like having a lot of stories. Lol. What do you think? Chapters or individual stories?? Oh and THANK YOU KIM FOR REVIEWING A LIFE BEFORE DONKEY!! and thanks to all the people who reviewed Any of my other stories. I LOVE getting reviews.
