Chapter Three
Friendship on hiatus
Fiona heard this. She was shocked to see them fighting. They were friends right? Puss then leaped onto Fiona's shoulder for protection. Shrek was very angered by this. "Oh no you're not bringing Fiona into this!" he yelled. He ran and flew into the air and tackled Puss to the ground.
But someone else was on the ground. In his dive tackle, he'd accidentally brought Fiona down as well. This freaked them both out. "I can't feel my legs!" she said in pain. Fear then ran through the two amigo's bodies as they helped her up. Shrek then scooped her upin his arms and walked off. "Where're you going senor with her? She's in pain!" Puss said to him. "Getting her help! I don't need you or your sleazy values around here." He said as he walked off. He then arrived at a clinic. He was very nervous. He knew what happened to people in these situations from searching the Internet.
He watched as Fiona fell asleep in a hospital bed. Puss was watching them through the window silently. "Le Siento senor! I didn't mean to start that fight! That way Fiona wouldn't be like this." He said silently as he walked off. It started to rain. This only made his mood worse. He then went to the Poison Apple Pub to get a stiff drink. Doris saw the sadness in his green eyes and wondered what was wrong.
"I don't want to talk about it, okay? It hurts what I did this time. It's not like when I'm on the hunting clock. I don't know if the boss and Fiona could ever forgive me for embarrassing them and then hurting the boss's senorita during a fight." He said to himself. He then saw someone walk in. It was his father Don Gregorio. He was the most respected hunter in many kingdoms.
Puss was nervous about this. He was the reason Puss had used the video camera to film his friends in a private moment. He then shivered as his father came closer. "Hola my son! I saw your little fun with those hideous companions of yours. Good work my son. You're going to be a great hunter someday." He said sipping a pina colada. This made Puss more depressed than ever. He then began to leave. "Where're you going?" he asked him. "It's none of your business Papa!" he yelled as he ran off. His father then growled in pleasure. A figure in a hooded cloak stepped out of the shadows. "Good Don Gregorio! Your son could help us but being with those ogres has made him a little… weak! We must take action!" he said deeply. "I agree but hr mightn't help us." He said to the stranger.
Donkey was really worried. Shrek, Fiona and Puss had been gone for a long while. He wasn't sure if they were coming back. But his fear was destroyed when Shrek came back. He looked sad. He wanted to ask what was wrong but knew better not to in case he made him mad. "What's wrong?" someone asked. Donkey then whirled round and saw Puss. But greater anguish shone in his eyes. "What's up with Shrek?" he asked him. "Fiona is what's wrong, okay. Because of me being a burro, she got seriously hurt and will probably be stuck in a wheel chair for the rest of her life! That's what's up." He said sadly. Donkey understood and was nervous. Their friendship was on very rocky ground.
