High School Isn't Easy
"What're you doing here?" Shrek asked her inside.
"I ran away from school.
They treated me like a freak.
I can't stay there anymore." She answered him.
"What do you mean?" he asked her.
"A mean girl told everybody my secret, now they hate me.
You're the only one I can trust." She told him.
Shrek sighed.
"What am I going to do?
If they find her here, I'm toast!" he thought.
"You can stay but just until I figure out what to do next, okay?" he told her.
"Thank you.
I knew you'd understand." Fiona replied hugging him.
He blushed as Snowgre walked in.
"Who's that?" he asked him.
"F-Fiona.
You can't tell anybody she's here." He replied.
"Give me one good reason not to!
She's changing you into somebody I don't know." Snowgre told him.
Fiona watched as he stormed off.
"It's okay Shrek.
Not everybody will understand.
Ever since we met, I've had dreams about the future of us." She told him.
He looked at her like she'd grown an extra head.
But Rapunzel had found out Fiona was missing as well as King Harold and Queen Lillian, Fiona's parents.
"Why would she run off?
It's not like her." Lillian asked.
"Probably after some boy.
Lillian I don't school is helping her.
She hasn't made a single friend and all she does is stay in her room." Harold told her.
Snow hated hearing Harold.
She'd heard him talk to Lillian about Fiona many times.
It made her angry that Fiona's own father put her down like that.
Artie noticed Shrek was in a better mood as they were in the village earing ice cream and having a belching contest.
"Where's Snowg?
He normally has Baked Alaska.
I miss his song about it." Artie said.
"Umm Artie….. I think he might be sick." Shrek said but felt snow hit his face.
"Actually that's not true.
His girl friend is in the cave with him." He said taking the Baked Alaska to the other table sitting by himself.
Artie and Fiona saw sadness in Shrek's eyes.
"It's…. okay guys.
He's always bitter and jealous.
I'll be okay." He said eating an apple pie with a hot fudge sundae.
Fiona was eating it too.
She was enjoying their company.
But she was worried.
"I wonder if anybody knows I'm gone?
They probably do and are searching for me." she thought as she ate.
Artie then saw Snowgre gasp as Fiona's parents showed up.
"Who're they?" Shrek whispered as they hid under the table.
"My parents.
Somebody must've told them I left!" Fiona answered him as her parents left the area.
"Is the coast clear yet?" Shrek asked Artie.
"Yeah it's okay.
What're you gonna do man?
You should've heard what her Dad said." he told his friend.
"Shrek you okay?
You look pale." Fiona said.
"I'm fine.
Worried but fine." he told her as they went back to his cave.
Fiona noticed sadnes in his hazel etes as he lay in bed.
"What am I going to do?
I love her but her parents want her back.
If they find out she's been with me, I'm toast.
What should I do?
Does Love mess everybody up who falls for it?" he thought as he looked at her.
He sighed as he reached a decision but then he heard knocking on his door.
He saw Fiona's parents outside.
"Oh boy.
I'm slayed." he thought as the door opened.
"Where is she?" Harold demanded angrily.
Lillian saw the fear in the ogre boy's eyes.
"P-Please I haven't hurt her.
She ran away.
I-I tried to send her back but she wouldn't go.
This is my fault.
Punish me but don't hurt her." Shrek told them.
"Dad stop!" Fiona said as she saw her parents freeze.
She sighed at that.
"He's telling the truth.
I'm in love with him, okay?
School was misery.
If you were me, you'd run away too." she told Lillian.
Her mother understood.
"You're coming with us young lady!" Harold yelled taking her out of the cave.
She took a lingering look at Shrek before leaving.
"I'll come back to you.
I promise.
Nothing can keep us apart." she thought as they left.
He started breaking down, sobbing after they left.
Snowgre was scared.
He'd never seen him this sad before.
He didn't know what to do to make him feel better.
Meanwhile Fiona was packing her bags.
She was being sent away.......
