Christmas Time

Journey to the North Pole.

Snowgre watched as Shrek got better the last few days and smiled. Soon they would help him get the job he wanted. Shrek saw Fiona going back and forth into the kitchen. "What happened?" he asked curiously. Snowgres's brown eyes shined at this. "Donkey was using the oven to make things cook faster and put the kitchen on fire as well as burning you!" he said quietly to him. "Where did Donkey go? He's not here!" he said as he drank more of the potion Snowgre had made. "Fiona got mad at him and made him leave." He told him. This stunned Shrek. Normally he was the one that made Donkey leave. Fiona then came into the living room.

"What're you talking about?" she asked them curiously. Snowgre smiled at this but was nervous about this. If she was going to fly off the handle while they talked about it , then it was better to drop it. "We were talking about what happened a few days ago in the kitchen." He told her. Her blue eyes darkened at this. "Are you guys up for a quest?" she asked them. Shrek was confused by this. "Yeah I'm up for it whatever it is!" he said. Snowgre smiled at this. He knew what she was on about. "Let me use my Ogrewician powers to get us there!" he told her. She reluctantly agreed. Shrek then watched as he, Fiona and Snowgre were surrounded by a haze of blue magic and disappeared. He hoped his cousin would help him. Charming had been causing chaos in the North Pole. He'd stormed into Santa's workshop and wrecked everything the elves had bee working on by using his mother's wand and unleashing her magic. The elves had ran off scared by this but Santa was in his room working on the list. He was unaware of Charming's evilness. "I can't wait to see Snowgre's face when Santa tells him he can't work here!" he cackled evilly. Shrek, Fiona and Snowgre landed in the snowy ground of a hill. In the horizon. "Alright we're here!" Snowgre said happily. Shrek wondered what they were doing here. "We're helping Snowgre get a job with Santa so he can make toys!" Fiona explained to him. Snowgre heard screaming come from the little village. "Something's wrong down there! We've got to help!" he said to them. Fiona and Shrek heard it too. "You're right Snowg. Let's do it!" they said as they ran down the hill. But before they entered the village, they put on cloaks with cowls so nobody would freak out or do anything that hunters usually do. They then entered the village hastily. The place was very cheery , happy and busy.

Suddenly an elf bumped into Fiona and knocked her over. When she got to her feet, he froze in fear. "Y-you're an o-ogre!" he said stammering. Fiona then felt awful by this. She smiled warmly at him. "Don't worry! Mt friends and I won't hurt you! They're Ogrese too but they won't hurt you either. One of wants to work here and make toys." She said to him. He looked into her eyes and saw no evil in them so calmed down. "Are you alright now?" she asked him. "Yeah I'm fine. Maybe you could help us. There was this guy with blond hair, armour on hid body. He had cherry glitter on his lips and a star shaped wand. He wrecked the workshop entirely and trapped most of the elves. Do you know who it is?" Shrek and Fiona knew who it was but Snowgre wasn't so sure. "It's Charming! He must be trying to wreck Christmas for every one! He's doing it so Snowgre gets blamed and he doesn't get his job." Fiona said to them. Snowgre was furious at this. "How dare he try that!" he yelled angrily. "It's okay! Calm down. We've beaten this jerk before and we can do it again." Shrek told him calmly. But Charming was in Santa's room. "You see those people down there in the cloaks? They're really hideous monsters trying to wreck your holiday!" he told him. But then he looked through his Goodness Scope at these strangers hearts and found goodness in them. Charming then ran out of his room. "Snowgre do you want to try for that job or not?" Fiona asked him. "Yes but St Nick won't listen! He's convinced we're all bad! We're even on his bad list!" Snowgre told her. Santa was listening to this. He realised his mistake and needed to fix it.

"Bring those strangers in the cloaks to me! " he ordered an elf. He then led them into the workshop. Fiona and Shrek were shocked by the damage done to the gifts there. "Charming's been here all right!" Snowgre said angrily. Santa then took Snowgre with him to prepare the sleigh. But then he stepped on a trap door and fell through. Charming then took him and disappeared. "Fiona and I will go after him. You stay here and fix the gifts for when we return with Santa. Maybe after this, we'll have a merry Christmas or Hannukah!" she said to Shrek. He saw the look in her eyes as he smiled playfully. He was unaware of what Fiona meant. She along with Puss , the other fairytale creatures and other relations had been planning a Hannukah party for Shrek so he wouldn't be left out. They'd called it Hannukahmas. But that wasn't what he'd meant when he'd said he was left out. He then got to work fixing the gifts. He managed to finish early due to his handyman skills. He then felt thirsty. He saw something that made hot drinks. It was a hot cocoa maker but he didn't know that as he filled a cup with it and started drinking. Ogres never drink cocoa normally because of their digestive systems but he finished the cup. Charming had hidden Santa at Snowgre's pad. Snowgre had figured this out and he and Fiona headed off there using their Ogrewician powers. Charming had cast a spell that destroyed all Christmas spirit in the area. Snowgre then sank to his knees in pain. "It's okay Snowg. Tune it out." Fiona told him. He then fainted. Charming saw this and dragged him into the cave. He tied him beside Santa. Suddenly Shrek appeared. He was angry at Charming for doing that.

Snowgre then woke up at this. "I've been very patient with you and kept my anger in check whenever you pull something like this but you crossed the line by involving family." He yelled as he pinned Charming to the wall. "Is this what he's like with this guy?" Snowgre asked as she untied him and Santa.
