Chapter Two
No good deed
Puss's sneaking around annoyed Donkey. "Why're you here? Do you know how much pain you caused everybody especially Fiona?" he yelled. He saw anguish in his green eyes. "Si I know. I'm trying to fix it. There's a potion that I'm going to use that will let me go back in time so I can prevent myself." He told him. "But I need your help to do it. We need to go into the Fairy Godmother's factory to get it. Are you going to help me?" he asked him. "I'll help you but it's only for Fiona." He said. They then snuck off into the forest under the cover of darkness.
Meanwhile Fiona was preparing to do something drastic. She was dressed in black. She then got into the onion carriage and took off. She then went to Far,Far Away and climbed onto the Farbucks roof. She jumped off it. This freaked Harold. He watched as she was put in an ambulance and drove off. Puss and Donkey arrived but they were too late. They then went to the hospital. Fiona was in a bed hooked up to a life support machine but she was in her dream world. Shrek's spirit was by her side. This worried him. He knew where Fiona was. She was in the kingdom of Aria where those who committed ogrecide waited until those who loved them to come and bring them back to the realm of the living. He then went inside her head. He wanted to try and help her. Puss had seen their friend as a ghost and was freaked. He hadn't meant to do it. In the kingdom of Aria Fiona was confused. "Is this heaven? Am I dead yet?" she asked herself. The kingdom was very beautiful but sad. She then saw Shrek appear. He then wondered why he was here. "Am I in the spirit world yet?" she asked quietly. He looked into her eyes. There was a little sadness in them. He didn't want to make her sad. "No,you're not in the spirit world. This is the kingdom of Aria where those who committed ogrecide wait until those they love bring them back to the realm of the living. I'm sorry but I have to do this." He said softly to her. "No I can't go. I can't live without you and I can't be without you or else I'll try to do it again." She whispered to him through tears. "I'm sorry honey but it's the only way to help you." He said to her as magic surrounded her from his body. She tried to fight it. "I'm sorry honey but it's the only way." He said as she began to fade. Harold was by his daughter's bedside. He was sad about Fiona's decision to try ending her life because of her husband passing away. He knew she needed help. Lillian was worried too. "What're we going to do now?" Donkey asked Puss. He knew that Fiona was hurting at the minute. "Don't worry, I'll think of something. Besides I'm going to need Fiona's magic to make it work. But I need to wait until she wakes up." Puss said to him. They then heard sobbing come from Fiona's bed as her eyes opened. Her entire body hurt and there were serious cuts on her face. Harold then hugged her gently. "You scared us pretty bad honey. Why did you jump off the Farbucks roof honey?" he said to her. He saw deep sadness in her eyes. "I'm sorry but I did it because of my husband's death and I'm still going to do it until I'm with him once more." She said softly.
This worried Harold more than ever. Shrek had heard this from the spirit world and was worried. He knew Fiona was missing him and was trying to be with him but killing herself wasn't the answer. He needed to get through to her fast. Puss then opened the potion bottle. "Fiona I need you to drop a little of your magical essence into this." He said to her. She wondered why he wanted her to do this. "It's to make the potion work and go back in time to save the boss before you slay yourself, okay." He said. He was playing on her vulnerability at the moment. "Okay I'll do it." She said as a drop of magical energy fell into the bottle. Suddenly the bottle glowed and surrounded him. "Good luck senor." Donkey said as he disappeared from sight. "Where's he going?" Fiona asked him. "He went back in time to the night when Shrek was stabbed so he could save him.
Fiona was a little shocked by this but understood why he was doing it. Puss found himself back in the Poison Apple Pub. He knew it was now or never. He then smashed the bottle of milk he was meant to drink. He was slightly drunk but he'd hurt the boss after drinking that bottle. He then smiled as he vanished. He then found himself back in the hospital. Fiona wondered what he'd done. "I went back in time and prevented myself from hurting the boss so you wouldn't kill yourself." He told her. She wondered if it worked. But secretly it hadn't. In the spirit world Shrek had noticed this but knew it hadn't worked. He'd felt nervous as Fiona smiled. He had to tell her what was going on before she got hurt more and decided to end her life. She then fell asleep. He then decided to visit her in a dream.
He hoped it would work or else Fiona would join him and that's something he couldn't let happen, not if their child needed to be with it's mother. He hoped Fiona would come to her senses before it was too late to save her.
