Shrek 3

"My Big Fat Ogre Family"

The stay at Fiona's parents place was a success, although it had it's rough spots, everything turned out for the better. After the big party that took place, Puss in Boots, Prince Charming, and Gingerbread man went their separate ways.

Shrek and Fiona have now left Far Far Away and took the long trip back to Shrek's house in the swamp. The honeymoon may be over, but Shrek and Fiona's Love for each other has not faded. On there way back home they enjoy bathing in local swamps and causing mischief for people. Shrek and Fiona are now approaching the swamp home...

Chapter One - Back To The Pad

The sound of squeaky wheels, horses hooves pounding against the ground, the onion carriage winded its way through the tall swamp forest. Inside, Shrek and Fiona Both sat quietly not speaking to each other; Donkey was sleeping in the back. Shrek perked up, he was finally home. The onion carriage came to the top of the hill overlooking his house.

"Ahh, home sweet home." Shrek said with a small yawn.

The sun was just setting when Shrek and Fiona arrived, the sun was barely shinning.

"What a long trip, I'm not making that voyage any time soon" Shrek said exhausted and tired out. Donkey pocked his head out from the back and said with a big smile,

"Well I thought it was great! I want to go back with you next time!"

Shrek and Fiona's eyes grew large in horror.

"No!!" they both said out loud.

The onion carriage pulled up next to the house and came to a grinding halt. Shrek, and Fiona got off and stretched. Shrek then walked over to the front porch leading to the door and kneeled down. He pulled open a wooden plank near the front door and took out a set of keys. Then unlocked the front door. Before either of them stepped in, Donkey came running from the carriage and zoomed into Shrek's house. Shrek shook his head and said,

"Donkey what did I say about sleeping inside my house? Don't you have a family to take care of? What about Dragon?"

"Ohh, right... I'll just step out and sleep by myself on the front porch" Donkey said sadly.

"Ohh, ok, you can sleep in here for tonight, but just this ONE night!" Shrek said firmly.

Donkey's head perked up and ran back into the house and headed for Shrek's bed.

"Not in my bed!" Donkey then leaped off and jumped on a chair that was in the living room. Shrek just rolled his eyes and went into the bedroom. Fiona soon walked in and joined Shrek in the bedroom.

"If at any time during the night you hear funny noises coming from the bedroom, just cover your ears and go back to sleep" Shrek said. Donkey's head perked up again, a disgusting expression was on his face.

"Maybe I will sleep outside, come think about it." Donkey got off the chair and walked out to the front porch to sleep.

Shrek and Fiona were now in bed; both of them lay awkwardly on the small bed that was built for Shrek only.

"So what do you think of my family?" Fiona said with a sarcastic voice. Shrek looked at her and said,

"There ok, I wonder if they think I'm still right for you?"

"Don't worry Shrek, they like you. They were sure shocked when they saw the both of us didn't they." Fiona said with a funny tone. Shrek chuckled a little.

"Your dad was sure ticked off at first," Shrek said. Fiona then chuckled

Both of them lay in bed starring up at the ceiling. Fiona broke the silence,

"Do you think we'll be parents one of these days?"

"I don't know it's a little soon to be thinking about that stuff isn't it?"

"Your right, I guess we'll think about it that time comes up"

Shrek turned his head towards Fiona and was about to say something, but hesitated. He then said with a slight grin on his face,

"Well, morning comes really fast, we better get some sleep" Shrek licked his fingers and snuffed out the candlelight.

The morning was soon upon Shrek and Fiona, the fog lay low over the swamp and the sun was just starting to rise. Shrek woke up first, wearing nothing but his blue boxer shorts, he got up from bed, stretched and yawned at the same time. Fiona was still in bed sleeping, Shrek didn't bother to wake her up. He then walked out of the bedroom, and froze immediately. The floor of the dinning room was covered with open jars, food scraps, and containers; the pantry door to the left of the kitchen was also left open. Donkey came out of the pantry and was munching on some food.

"Mmmm, that was tasty." Donkey said, not noticing Shrek

Shrek was stunned at the mess that was created, he walked a little further into the room looking at the damage, he then said,

"Donkey what happened!"

Donkey froze and looked up at Shrek who was standing tall above him. Fiona walked in from the bedroom into the dinning room,

"What a nice sleep, what do you-" Fiona froze and looked around at the mess in the dinning room.

"What happened here?!" Fiona said in shock.

"Looks like donkey helped himself to the food."

Shrek stepped over a pile of food scraps and into the kitchen, he looked around then turned back to Donkey who was still eating and said,

"Look at this mess donkey! now I have to clean up all this!" Shrek picked up a piece of food scrap, looked at, then dropped it back on the floor, he turned back to Donkey and said,

"Don't tell me you ate ALL the food in the house."

"I didn't eat everything, here, I left you some food" Donkey went back into ruined pantry and dragged out a small container of left over food and pushed it in front of Shrek's feet. Shrek wasn't impressed.

"I think it's time for you to leave Donkey, you should go back to your Dragon" Shrek said firmly.

"Yeah, I guess she's probably wondering were I am." Donkey looked at the food container that was in front of Shrek, he then said,

"Are you going to eat that?"

"YES! now leave donkey!"

"Ok, ok, I'll leave. Can I visit later?" Donkey said with a smile.

"Yes later. In the DISTANT future!"

Donkey started to walk out the front door, as he did he said,

"Well I'm on my way, bye!"

Donkey looked back, but Shrek had already closed the door behind him. He then walked off into the forest. Shrek looked out the front window and saw Donkey disappear into the swamp forest. Shrek gave a big sigh of relief.

"What a donkey, he completely wrecked the kitchen and dinning room, I'll have to replace all this food soon. At least he didn't eat everything." Shrek said. He then picked up the small food container then cleared a place from the junk covered dinning room table and placed the container on it. Shrek then said,

"Oh, Yuk! Left over Slug stew we can't eat this!" Shrek dropped the container back on the floor and sat down, then said,

"I'll have to make a trip into Duloc and get some food."

Shrek then thought of an idea.

"Hmmm, maybe I'll pick up a few furnishings for the house, like a new bed. It was kind of tight in there the other night, it's only a single bed."

Shrek got up and thought about another idea.

"Why don't you come with me into Duloc, you can help me shop around"

Fiona smiled at Shrek and said,

"I'll get changed here, I'll be out quickly"

Shrek went outside and got the onion carriage ready to go. The onion carriage was starting to age already, Shrek had to get out a spare wheel along the way and replace a broken wheel. And the onion itself was starting to grow. Shrek knew that the carriage was going to give up the ghost sooner or later, and that it would have to be replaced.

Fiona came out of the house dressed up in her usual clothes. As Shrek was getting into the carriage, he said,

"We should really think about getting a new car while we're in town."

"I think we should spend our money on more important things, like new furniture, and food. You can fix the car instead of replacing it."

"Yeah that's true."

Shrek whistled the horses to go. At that, Shrek and Fiona were off to Duloc...

...Again.
