I Think I've Got You Beat
A/N Here's the next one. In it a certain young king has diabetes type 2. But before people start hating me, I have Diabetes type 2 so I know what I'm doing.
Shrek was worried.
Artie was lying in bed after eating cake at Snowgre's party.
He wondered what was wrong with him.
Snowgre knew it was his fault but Fiona knew it wasn't.
"Maybe he was allergic to something in the cake.
He didn't want to upset you by not eating." She told him.
He nodded sadly.
They then saw the royal doctor come out of Artie's bedroom.
"Will he be okay?" Lillian asked him.
"Yes but I need to talk to you in private." He answered her.
"Yes that's fine." She replied following him.
"Please don't be dead Artie.
I would hate for that to happen to you.
I care for you too much." Snowgre thought as he walked into Artie's room seeing his friend lying there.
He then began to remember what had happened at the party...
It had been in the ball room.
It was his eighteenth birthday.
Most of the family had came and they'd been having fun.
He then saw somebody approach him.
"Happy birthday Sno-Sno." a familiar voice told him.
He turned around to see Artie there.
"Thanks Art." he replied opening the wrapped box.
It had a locket inside.
Snowgre opened it.
Inside was a photo of Snowgre and Artie holding hands.
"Wow Artie it's... really nice.
Thank you." he replied to him.
"It's no big deal.
I care about you too much.
We're meant to be." Artie replied as they waltzed.
"Wow this love thing rocks!
Who'd imagine I'd find love even if it's not a girl?" he thought as Artie spun him around the court.
He felt giddy as the music stopped.
"Iguess it's time to cut the cake." Snowgre told him as the clock struck midnight.
"Yeah I wonder what you're gonna wish for?" Artie said watching him leave joining Lillian, Shrek and Fiona.
The cake was made of chocolate and vanilla icing with snow men and an ice castle on top with candles.
They watched as the teen blew them out.
Artie smiled sitting with Snowgre before they were going to eat.
But as the cake entered the young king's mouth, he felt weird, like he was going to faint.
Snowgre saw him put his head on the table and his eyes closed.
"Hey the cake's really good huh?
Artie?
Artie wake up!
What's wrong with him?" he yelled as guards carried the sleeping king to his room.
Shrek saw the look in Snowgre's eyes.
It was one of pain and sorrow.
Tears fell as he left the room...
He was about to leave when he heard breathing.
"... Snowgre it's okay." Artie said his eyes opening.
Snowgre turned around and was by his bed side.
"I'm so glad you're okay.
I was really scared when you wouldn't wake up.
I couldn't forgive myself." the ogre teen said tears running down his face.
"Shh... it wasn't your fault." he replied holding Snowgre's hand.
Lillian smiled seeing her nephew awake.
"Artie... the doctor found out what was wrong with you.
You have Type 2 Diabetes.
Your body finds it hard to make insulin which is why when you have sugar, you get sleepy.
But it won't be a problem if you can manage it.
You don't have to stay away from sugar, you can have things like cake as treats but not all the time.
I'm glad you woke up when you did.2 she told him.
Artie nodded as he was in shock.
He knew what Diabetes could do and was scared as his aunt left the room.
Snowgre saw that and wrapped his arms around Artie's body.
"It's okay Artie.
I'll help you." he said as they kissed.
He hoped Artie would get better with help and support from their family...
He knew Artie would beat it and survive...
Wow I feel sorry for Snowgre.
It wasn't his fault it happened.
I'll work on the next one soon
