Ch 2
Snow woke up the next morning to find Fiona asleep by her side in the living room. "Good morning star shine." She whispered. Fiona was stroking her hair in her sleep.
"Fiona must've found me passed out in the snow and brought me back to the castle. I love her but when her husband comes back, they'll be together and that's when it'll hurt." She thought as she wrapped her arms around the ogress. Artie saw Fiona wake up and move gently away from Snow so she wouldn't wake her up.
"You seem depressed. Is something wrong?" he asked her. "Yes. Snow and I like each other but I know that when Shrek comes back, it'll hurt her seeing us together while she has nobody." She told him. He understood. "Maybe he'll understand if you tell him about you and Snow." Artie told her gently. "Yes that's a good idea." She said as they sipped coffee. Snow then walked into the room sleepily wrapped in blankets.
"Good morning Snow Drop. How did you sleep?" Fiona said smiling. Snow blushed at that. It was Fiona's pet name for her. "Fine." she replied sneezing but stopped herself. Fiona felt her fore head. It was warm and a fever was about to hit. "I think being out in the cold for a while made her sick. I'd better get a doctor." she thought. Artie could tell Snow was under the weather as she drank some coffee and ate some toast with logan berries smothered over it. He smiled at her. He got an idea. "Why do you love Fiona? You know she's married." he asked her. "We became friends again when he helped her kick Charming's butt but then we both had feelings for each other but we had to hide them because people would think we're weird. I know it'll hurt when Fiona's husband comes back and they'll be together all the time." Snow explained weakly. Artie understood but saw her fall asleep as she laid her head on the table.
Lillian saw her and got her into the living room and laid her on the couch. She then put a blanket over the sleeping princess's body and left the room. Fiona then came in. "She fell asleep in the dining room. Aunt Lillian broyght her in here." Artie told her after she'd asked him why Snow was lying on the couch. She had something in her hand. It was a medicine vial that the doctor had given her after seeing Snow. "Hey Sleeping Beauty wake up." she said as Snow opened her eyes. "Hey Fi. I don't feel like myself." she told her hugging her. Fiona knew she was delirious but didn't want to spoil the moment. "What're you doing hugging Snow that way?" she heard somebody ask and broke the hug to see it was Shrek. "I thought you guys weren't coming home until New Year's Eve." she asked worried. "We were but we decided to come home early. I sort of see you and Snow are together." he answered. Fiona laughed nervously at him.
"No we're not! It... was just a friendly hug." she told him. "Fiona it's okay. I don't mind if you like girls, especially Snow. I still know our love is true." he said as he kissed her. "How did you know?" Fiona asked him. "I got e mails from Artie and Puss telling me about you and Snow." he answered her. Snow then felt sad at seeing them together and went back to sleep. "I think Snow and I need a little alone time." she said to him. "Okay. I'll be with the kids." he replied as he walked out of the room. Fiona sighed as she looked at Snow's sleeping form. "Snow I know you're a little depressed about my husband and I being together but I'll always love you. Besides we have to pretend we're not in love so the kingdom won't find out and freak." she told her hugging her.
"I know but it hurts being alone. Every time I see you and the others with the guys you love, it makes me want to cry. I try looking for a guy but there's none of them that like me." she replied softly. Charming saw that Snow's guard was down emotionally and had seen her and Fiona together. "I'm going to make her miserable and make Fiona hate her at the same time!" he said as he opened a door. There was a prince in there but he was out cold. He was tough like Snow and a bit of a Goth but was harmless. He had black hair, green eyes, great smile, slender bodied and wore a dark green smock with tights. His name was Lai. He was Charming's brother but wasn't evil like him. He was shy with self esteem issues and little self confidence. He yawned as he woke up.
"Hey brother what's up?" he said to him. "I found you somebody to love who's like you in every way." Charming told him as he showed her a photo of Snow. He gasped. "She's hot! Why do I feel all... tingly?" Lai asked him. "It's called Love." Charming answered. "Where does she live?" Lai asked him. "She's at the castle of Far, Far Away. Go to her. Tell her how you feel." Charming replied. He watched as his brother left at once. "You've no idea what you're getting into!" Charming cackled as he watched Lai go off on his steed...
