In that night, as the cauldron hanging by chains over the firepit bubbled solemnly; Shrek was enjoying himself a nice dinner while Donkey was locked outside of his home. He dropped a eye on a stick into his glass and slurped it down as he looked at his dinner before him, these items include: the Slug with orange eyes, what appeared to be green grapes, a jar of eyes, spice, worm stuffed pumpkin and a nice large piece of cooked skinless Silvelax. These were the times he enjoyed the most out of his solitary life, he was home, nice and warm as he wasn't bothered by anyone at all. Though he had to pause and glance at his front door. Mixed feelings about his new acquaintance. He was sure as hell the talkative creature, but at least he was the first not to judge him by his looks nor who he was

He shook his head and sighed, scooting in further to his table as he felt that there was just something missing; that was until he figured out what it was. He brought his hand to his ear and started to pull hard and painfully as the earwax building up came out like a spear and placed it atop the mallet; lighting the hair growing in his ear afterwards with a match. Now he can enjoy his meal alone, but the same could not be said for Donkey who looked on unnoticibly before he left and made his way back to the front door; laying down as he smiled and went to sleep at his new friend's comfort. He may be ornery, but he's a true and honest Ogre I tell you what. Shrek continued to eat and enjoy his meal until the sound of his door creaking could be heard, this caught his attention

Oh boy, annoyance during his dinner of all times. He put his fork and knife on the table as he got up. "I thought I told you to stay outside" He was hoping to shove Donkey back outside

"I am outside" His voice came from the window

Wait a minute. Who opened his door then? He turned and saw a shadow move across as this caught his suspicion. Who was now moving around near his table? He returned and observed it, everything normal on the bottom but took notice when he heard voices from above

"Well, gents, it's a farcry from the farm, but what choice do we have?" One of the blind mice asked, tripping over Shrek's fork

"It's not home, but it'll do just fine" The second of the blind mice knocked over the jar full of eyeballs, spilling out the contents

"What a lovely bed" The third of the blind mice was bouncing on the Slug, Shrek immediately caught him

"Got ya!" However it escaped his grasp

"I found some cheese" He bit Shrek's left trumpet ear

"OW!" He cried in pain, grabbing at the mouse again who was on his other shoulder

"Blah! Awful stuff" He jumped down onto the spoon and inadvertently launched a piece of gravy towards Shrek's left eye, to which he wiped it away afterwards

"Is that you Gordon?" One of them asked

"How did you know?" He asked them back

"Enough!" He grabbed all three of them by the tail, flipping the wooden spoon off the left side of the table as he turned his back and demanded angrily. "What are you doing in my house?" The dinner on his table was then shoved and Shrek's back was hit with an gold and glass fashioned coffin of what here lied Snow White, under the curse by the Poison Apple infected by the Sleeping Death curse. "Hey!" He turned and saw the Seven Dwarves, one of the waved at Shrek

"Oh, no, no, no. Dead broad OFF the table!" He shoved her coffin back to the Dwarves

(A/N: It should be mentioned in the Trailers that it was "Dead Girl OFF the table!" it's amazing how the movies aren't exactly how you see them in the Trailers and TV Spots, isn't it?)

"Where are we supposed to put her? The Bed's taken" They shoved back to him

"Huh?" He stopped short. The bed is taken? What the hell did they mean by that? He hurried to his bed and opened the curtain of which kept it hidden from sight and gasped, there laid comfortably and in grandmother's clothing, was a wolf of all creatures

"What?" He asked irritably. Shrek was now on the verge of his rage, he dragged him out of bed and held him in the air through his house as the Seven Dwarves made themselves comfortable

"I live in a swamp, I put up signs! I'm a terrifying Ogre!" He shoved his door open outwards, because apparently it's a two-way door and you know what they say: All Doors are Two-Way Doors. "What do I have to do to get a little privacy?!" He screamed as he threw the Wolf out of his house, but that didn't end there; no it didn't, it was even worse than he thought it would be

"Oh no... oh no!" Shrek screamed

His Swamp. His lovely, silent, peaceful Swamp was no longer the way he intended it to be. It was now swarming with many, many Fairytale Creatures; many, many beings now living here. Hell even the old woman brought her entire shoe to his Swamp, with many children running around. Tents were set up, fairies roamed around in the air, Pinocchio and a short yellow elf with a cone shaped hat were arguing and many people were conversing with each other. God dammit!

"No!" A witch flew past him,"NO!" He screamed out, three more witches came zooming past him and Shrek had to jump for cover as they came flying down with elves helping them land. "Wha?" Shrek turned his head to the side with the old woman hanging her clothes with a child and two other children pushing each other

"Hey, don't push!" The girl in the blue argued

The Pied Piper in red was calling over the many rats with his flute while many other Fairytale Creatures were waiting in line towards Shrek's Outhouse which also seemed to have it's own lightsource. So Shrek's Outhouse has working plumbing, a flushing toilet and it's own lightsource from the inside... where can I get one of those? In the meantime, Papa and Baby Bear were sitting by the fire with the latter upset and being comforted by his own father; no Mama Bear in sight though, looks like he's become a victim of the "Lost Mother" trope as many other Fairytale Creatures warmed themselves up by the fire before them. Elves, Lepricons, Dwarves, Fairies, Witches, Pigs, Wolves, Stalks, a Unicorn and any Fairytale Creature those who can think of were all there in Shrek's Swamp; intruding on his shattered peaceful little home on Dinner of all nights

"What are you doing in my Swamp?!" Shrek roared out as he got up, his voice echoed all over the sound of his own Swamp; everyone and everything came an abrupt half as it was followed by screams and gasps. The Dwarves who held bowls to be fed with soup from the cauldron by the witch dropped them, the three fairies of Sleeping Beauty flew in the tent to hide and two Dwarves ducked out of sight and appeared holding each other out of fear behind the branch. Shrek wasn't going to have it, he eyed everyone and began to walk to some Elves and Dwarves

"Alright, get out of here. All of you, move it! Come on! Let's go! Hapaya! Hapaya! Hey! Quickly, come on!" He shooed them all backwards but some of the Dwarves and fairies ran into his home as Shrek turned back. "No, no! No, no. Not there, not there" He ran after them as they slammed the door on him, along with a green fairy and tried to open it with no virtual success. He stopped and turned to face the large group before them, especially on Donkey as he frowned viciously and was going to throw him out: He said he could stay for a single night, this did not give him the idea of inviting and having a entire slumber party in his Swamp!

"Hey don't look at me, I didn't invite them" Donkey replied

"Oh, gosh, no one invited us" Pinocchio confirmed

"What?!" Shrek came over, demanding to know what happened

"We were forced to come here" He told the Ogre

"By who?" He was flabbergasted until one of the Three Pigs, the one with the hard helmet on informed him

Lord Farquaad. He huffed and he puffed and he... signed an eviction notice" His brothers nodded in agreement. This was gonna be a long night ahead for him

"Alright. Who knows where this Farquaad guy is?" He asked. Everyone looked around at each other with no answer, until Donkey answered

"Oh, I do. I know where he is!"

"Does anybody ELSE know where to find him? Anyone at all?" Shrek was desperate and pleading not to go with Donkey of all people

"Me! Me!" Donkey tried to get his attention. Baby Bear held his paw up, but was stopped by his father as there was no use in going back to Lord Farquaad's Kingdom

"Anyone?" Big Bad Wolf and a Green Wizard pointed to each other while Donkey continued

"Oh! Oh, pick me! Oh, I know! I know! Me, me!"

"Okay... fine" It was bound to happen, he knew that he would either go with Donkey, seek out a Human for directions or seek out Farquaad himself since he has alot to answer for dumping these people on his own property; and so he gave out this demanding speech to them. "Attention, all Fairytale... things. Do not get comfortable, your welcome is officially worn out. In fact, I'm going to see this guy Farquaad right now and get you all off my land and back where you came from!" He pointed to the left as silence was met before the entire crowd went wild. Shrek shook his head and groaned before walking, until four birds draped him in a flower cloak. "Doh!" He swatted them away as he sharply pointed directly at Donkey

"You. You're comin' with me" He told him darkly as he shoved the cape off him and started walking, the birds returned and dropped a flower crown on his head

"Alright, that's what I like to hear man: Shrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends, off on a whirlwind big-city adventure. I love it!" Donkey rushed after Shrek, who proceeded to grab a torch from a Dwarf which refused to let go; but a few shakes from him 'ought to get him off and dump him in the water where he resurfaced moments later. "On the road again, sing it with me, Shrek. I can't to get on the road again"

"What did I say about singing?" He sharply turned to Donkey and grabbed his flower crown before throwing off of him as the duo made their way across the wooden log in the ground connecting the pathway to Shrek's Swamp

"Can I whistle?" Donkey asked

"No" That's even worse than singing

"Can I hum it?"

"Alright, hum it" At least it ain't too bad, it makes Donkey bearable to say the least

With that done with, Donkey continued to hum "On the Road Again" while Shrek paid attention to no one and nowhere but the road ahead of them; for he will reclaim his Swamp and Farquaad will get alot to hear from him, he was going to make sure of that. The two heroes marched off into the woodlands while being waved off by all creatures, it would appear that Shrek was right to himself: This was gonna be a long night ahead for him, but it'll all be over before he knows it once his Swamp is back with him and he can continue living in his lonesome life. There's more to Shrek than anyone would see about him, and nobody ain't giving him the chance to show his misjudgement of how he looks and how he is treated; that time will come and until then, it will be adventure worth remembering in the end of it all. Nevertheless, no matter what he comes across; it will be surpassed by him and him alone
