I Think I've Got You Beat
A/N Here's the next one. It involves Snowgre feeling lonely until he enters a world he fits in with and wants to move there but Shrek and the others have to try and stop him.
Snowgre was feeling lonely
None of the others were into snow or being in it.
He then took a walk through the forest.
He was so wrapped in his own thoughts that he didn't realise he'd went through a portal.
He then landed in snow.
"Wow the weather changed so fast.
Wait!
I'm not in Duloc anymore." The teen thought as he came to a sign that said Christmas Town.
Snowgre was amazed.
This felt like a second home to him as the smell of cakes and pies filled his nose.
"This place rocks!" he said as he looked through windows where the towns people were decorating Christmas trees, roasting chestnuts and other Christmas things.
He also noticed nobody had screamed or ran away from him because he was an ogre.
"I belong here.
It's the perfect place for an ogre like me.
Maybe I should move to Christmas Town.
Besides the others won't miss me." he thought as he got back to Duloc the way he'd came in.
Later at the swamp Artie noticed Snowgre was packing up his stuff.
"You going on a trip Snowg?" he asked him.
"Sort of.
I've decided to move to Christmas Town." he replied to him.
"You went through a portal that was hidden in the forest?" Artie asked.
"Yeah I did.
I entered Christmas Town where it snows, people are nice to me and I fit in.
Besides the others including Shrek won't miss me" he explained to him.
"But we would miss you if you did leave.
You don't annoy us.
I've gotta tell Shrek and the others this." e thought as he saw Fiona in the kitchen.
She noticed something was up with Artie.
"What's up?
I noticed you seem upset." she said to him.
"Snowgre... He's moving out to Christmas Town.
He thinks he fits in better there and that he annoys us because of his love of snow and Winter.
Maybe Shrek can help him." Artie answered her.
Shrek was nervous hearing this.
"Where is he?
I need to talk to him." he asked Artie.
"He's in the forest." Artie answered him.
"Let's go!" he said.
Snowgre was about to go into the portal when he was stopped by Shrek's voice.
"What do you guys want?
Aren't you happy without me?" the ogre teen asked his cousin.
"Well... not really.
You see if you went, I'd miss you." Shrek told him.
"Are you feeling okay?" Snowgre asked him looking at him funny.
"Aye I'm fine.
It's just you may be annoying but you're family.
I know you don't know your place in the world yet but it's not in Christmas Town.
I know you'd fit in there but..." he explained but was finding it hard to find the right words.
"But what Shrek?
What were you gonna say?" the teen asked him.
"You'd... be loely and miss us." Shrek answered.
Snowgre saw the look in his eyes, one of sadness and hurt.
"Wow he really cares about me.
I thought he hated me because I had to live with him.
I guess I was wrong." he thought as ghe walked away from the portal.
"What's wrong Snowg?
I thought you were moving." Shrek asked him.
"I was but then I realised there are people right here who care about me enough to stop me from making a mistake." he replied smiling as he walked back to the swamp.
Fiona wondered why Snowgre had been carrying his stuff with him.
"He wanted to move but realised he's happy here." Shrek said.
Later after he'd put his stuff back in his room, Snowgre was baking with Fiona in the kitchen.
She was thinking something but was worried about asking him.
"Snowgre?
Why... did you try to move away?" she asked him as the cookies baked in the oven.
"Because I felt like I didn't belong in Duloc.
You see in Snowia nobody wanted to befriend me growing up.
I felt alone and it hurt.
I thought moving here would change things but... it's more rougher than I thought." he replied.
Fiona understood Snowgre's feelings.
"He just wants to be loved, accepted.
The very same things I wanted at his age but never got.
I always felt my parents didn't love me because of my curse but those lonely days and nights made me afraid to trust.
Especially before I was sent away.
Kids never played with me, always running away, hurting me.
I hope he'll grow up finding his happy ever after." she thought as she heard the triplets come back from school.
Snowgre had locked himself away in his room, falling into his own little world.
Shrek was nervous hearing that.
He hoped too that Snowgre would find something in his life that made him feel like life was worth living...
Wow he decided not to go but he wants to be loved, accepted as a person.
I can relate to that...
