Chapter 06 A confession at dinner

Quanktumspirit: "Enjoy. Oh and I never watched the Adventures of Puss in Boots, so for me, I'm going to be making it mostly up for my own advantages. I'm not a fan of Puss X Dulcinea, so sorry all the fans of this couple, but I'm putting that fandom under the bus for this chapter. Oh and I do recall someone asking in my last story if Puss should tell Kitty of his ex-girlfriend or not. So I'm just going to simply answer it with a yes, he will."

A few hours later, Puss spotted in the winters snow the slay of Shrek and Fiona pulling up at the swamp. Shrek, Fiona, their children, Kitty, the Diablos all climbed out and headed towards the swamp home.

"Hi, Puss. We brought some Christmas cookies with us from Gingy and the Muffin man." Fiona smiles.

Puss chuckles and quickly runs inside to get a plate for the cookies, Fiona placed the box on the Christmas plate and Puss sets it on the kitchen counter.

"Very well done." Puss smiles. "And did you all like the journey?"

"It was a fantastic journey, father." Pearla beames, "But we all did miss you."

Puss hugs the three Diablos and chuckles, "I have only been away for two hours guy's, it wasn't that long."

Farkle headed into the lounge and blinks, there were now at least twice as many Christmas presents then this morning, odd. But before Shrek could complain again, Puss distracted her and the others.

"Christmas dinner is served." Puss smiles and leads Kitty and the Diablos into the dining room.

The kittens and Kitty look very astounded at the vast amount of food that was cooked and Puss set the table. Shrek, Fiona and their children head to their places, Puss and Kitty help the Diablos into the Oger triplets three high chairs for them to have a good view, before sitting each between the three Diablos.

Puss looks to the head table to Shrek, "Shrek would you do the honours?"

"What for honours, dad?" Timmy inquires looking to Puss.

"Cutting the cooked Christmas turkey." Puss explains, "It's usually the job of the head of the family, which is what Shrek is."

"Not this Christmas Puss, you can do it. You are just as much head of the cat family as I am to the Ogers." Shrek explains smirking.

Puss blinks, "Um... you sure?"

"WE ARE HUNGRY!" The Diablos and Oger triplets scream out.

Before Puss could blink, Pearla escapes from her high chair, she runs to the umbrella stands, pulls hers and her brother's swords out, the three Diablos swing them round and in a flash, the turkey was cut in neat slices by the dozen on the silver plate.

"That's how it's done." Pearla giggles.

Puss rolls his eyes as he saw the fear in the Oger children's eyes. "Don't worry ogers, the Diablos won't think over hurting anyone with their swords, they lay down an oath to only use their skills for justice."

"We sure will, can we eat now dad?" The Diablos continue complaining.

Shrek smirks, "Sure guy's."

He shares the meats, vegetables, and other foods around the table. The Oger family fall into quiet chatter, Puss, Kitty and the Diablos also consumed their delicious food.

Just then Felicity got up and left her chair, she heads into the kitchen and pulls another bowl out, filling it with cold water and hands it to the Diablos as well.

"I doubt you drink out of bottles guy's." She smiles.

The Diablos nod their heads and thank her for the water. Kitty and Puss each got a bowl of cold water too. It is very refreshing.

After the Christmas dinner was done, Puss collects all the dishes and headed into the kitchen once more, he filled the tub with soapy water and begins with cleaning the dishes up.

Fiona nods to Shrek as he takes the oger triplets, Donkey and his children and Kitty and the Diablos into the Living room, where the Christmas presents were waiting for them.

She herself heads into the Kitchen and looks at Puss, who was elbow deep in the dishes and sorting it all out.

"Puss, thank you for cooking our dinner and cleaning the dishes. But what happened whiles we were away?" Fiona asks.

Puss sighs, he whips the water off his paws and looks to the ex-princess.

"Fiona... one of my old ex-girlfriends suddenly turned up. Miss Dulcinea. I sent her back to her home with a supply of food... but she almost caused my old feelings for her to come up again... I... I don't know how to tell my girlfriend Kitty, that I had an affair with another cat... without her wanting to kill me." Puss admits blushing.

Fiona sighs, she knows Puss has had a lot of different cat affairs if one could call it that. But with Kitty Softpaws, Puss was clearly love-struck, he truly has deep feelings for her and doesn't wish to harm her.

"Well Puss, I'd say just be truthful to Kitty. Do you still love Dulcinea?" Fiona inquires.

"No, not for years now. I love Kitty Softpaws. Always have and always will." Puss says.

"Then just be truthful to her Puss, there is nothing more destructive to a relationship of a loving couple then a third party coming in to mess it all up." Fiona explains, "Just like with the stupid Prince Charming idiot, who was claiming to be Shrek. Yet I could tell by the end it wasn't Shrek, Prince Charming is too arrogant, stupid and a good dancer yes, but that was not my Shrek. Shrek did see what happened to me and they helped me break the curse a second time. And I believe in the love me and Shrek share."

Puss understood out of the message what Fiona was explaining. He nods his head and then heads into the hallway after the last dish was packed away. He could hear Kitty and the Diablos playing with the oger triplets a catch game, or something in that field. Could he really just tell Kitty that he had an affair?

Fiona heads first into the lounge, the smell of burning wood drifts out of the room and a short while later Kitty Softpaws comes into the colder hallway where Puss was waiting for her.

"Hi, Puss. What's wrong? Fiona said you wanted to talk with me about something?" Kitty asks. "This Christmas is truly spectacular Puss. I just wish we had more of it."

"It's not about that Kitty... only..." Puss sighs and bows his head down, "You remember a few years ago, where we went our separate ways? I had to escape San Ricardo from the thieves,... and you... um-"

"Yes, I remember Puss. You also rescued the three Diablos and brought them on the path of right. But what happened after that Puss?" Kitty asks, "Is it the reason why you are so sad?"

"Y... yes... I reached a while later the town of San Lorenzo... and there I meet and befriended a she-cat called: Dulcinea." Puss explains and sighs, "I stayed there for a few years... and... well she then became my girlfriend for a short while..."

Kitty instantly felt jealousy overcome her heart, imagining her beloved Puss in the arms of another cat almost made her want to draw her sword, hunt down Dulcinea and kill her for it.

"Ok... go on..." Kitty says with a hiss erupting from the back of her throat.

"I was forced to leave her, as a curse was placed on me which would force me to spread bad luck, through some other events I was able to ride myself of the curse and wounded up at the Poisoned apple and working as an oger killer. Anyhow long story short... I don't know how but somehow Dulcinea was able to find me here again and visited me a few hours ago." Pss explains hanging his head down.

Kitty nods, "But... nothing happened between you to, did it?"

"No, nothing, I only feed her then sent her back to her own home. I'm so s-" Puss said but was then stopped.

Kitty smiles and gives her beloved Puss a deep and passionate kiss, she embraces her boyfriend and smiles at him.

"That's what I love the most about you Puss, that you can be truthful and honest when the times call for it. Yes, I'm very jealous that you've found another person to like, but I'm glad you told me the truth. Now stop japing, we got Christmas to celebrate." Kitty smiles.

Puss smiles, he was glad Kitty forgives him.
