It was sunrise and Shrek and Fiona were worried. Today their kids would be starting school and they were just a little worried. Brianna and Thornas were eating mud pancakes with extra mud on them. "Do you think we'll make friends there with the other kids?" Thornas asked his father. Fiona wastaken aback by this. She and Shrek looked at each other nervously at this. "Sure but they can't be human!" Shrek yelled from the out house. Brianna was confused by her father's answer. Fiona rolled her eyes at this.
"Daddy didn't mean what he said a second ago. It's just…" she said gently to them. "Just what Mommy?" Thornas asked curiously. There was a look of sadness on her face at this. But she had to explain this to them in simple terms so they wouldn't have any confusion when they got to school. "It's just some kids in your class might be mean to you just because you're ogrelings. But if that happens… don't fight back or cause trouble because that just gives them more reason to be mean and nasty." She told them sadly. Thornas then saw tears in her eyes at this. "What's wrong?" he asked gently. "It's nothing honey. It's just that brought back bad memories of when I was your age." She said as she walked out of the kitchen area. Shrek was in the out house shaving. He'd heard what Fiona had told their kids. He hadn't meant to say that a few seconds ago. He then saw Fiona sitting in the carriage. She looked upset. He then put on his clothes and walked out of the out house. The kids were playing with a ball in the house without the parents knowing and wrecking the entire kitchen. A while later the couple came back into the house and found the kids wrecking the entire house. Fiona saw the look on Shrek's face. It looked like he was going to explode like a thousand thunderstorms. "AAGH! YOU GUYS WRECKED THE HOUSE! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO BUILD THIS HOUSE WITH MY BARE TWO HANDS!"he yelled angrily. The kids then ran out of the house frightened. They'd never heard their father yell that loud. Fiona was a little bit shocked but saw smoke coming out of her husband's ears. "Honey calm down! It was just an accident! Besides they were just playing. They're only kids. They'll probably grow out of it." She said calmly putting a hand on his rotund arm. He then took a few deep breaths. "I guess but this house is full of emotional value and they wrecked it! Plus I haven't had any sleep since they were born with their constant crying all night and stuff. Maybe it was a mistake having kids." He said calmly once his temper was under control once more. Fiona gasped at this. "You don't really mean it, do you?" she told him. He looked at her with a heavy heart as she walked out the door and got into the onion carriage to take the kids to school.
There were tears in her eyes as she got out of the carriage with Brianna and Thornas. "What's wrong Mommy?" they asked worriedly as she walked with them into the school. But Charming was there as well leaving his son off. "Great! I have to see him every day when I take them to school! He's a prissy jerk for all he did and tried to do to my marriage! " she thought as the kids went into their class room. Charming sneered at her angrily. "This has nothing to do with you! I'm just dropping my kids off. It's not against the law to do that!" she snapped at him angrily. "Actually it is a crime… leaving your hideous brats in there with human kids and those ghastly hybrids! They're going to ruin everything. But if you had married me, our kids would be perfect and not freaks of nature." He said coldly. Anger then grew in Fiona's heart at this. Dissing her and Shrek was fine but doing it to their kids when they'd done nothing at all was wrong, so wrong. She then punched him hard in the nose. It began to bleed. Charming then cried and ran off. Michealis was watching that. He was so embarrassed that his father was a geek. He liked Brianna and Thornas's Mom. "Maybe we could be friends! But they probably got told not by their parents because of my Daddy!" he thought as he and the other kids were playing outside. Brianna and Thornas were playing with Marco and Chenna. They were Donkey and Dragon's youngest kids. They were playing ball.
Michealis then saw a human kid come over to them and take their ball. "Hey that's ours! We were playing with it!" Brianna yelled at him. Michealis saw the kid make a mean face at her and was angry. He then roared at him as he ran over to the kid and pushed him over onto the ground. Thornas laughed as the kid fell into the bush of sharp thorns. The kid ran off screaming. Michealis then gave the ball back to them. "Thanks! What you did was cool!" Thornas said to him. "You're welcome! My name's Michealis but I don't like it! It's a lame name my geeky father picked out for me." He told them. The kids then laughed at this. "Yeah it's a pretty silly name! Let's be friends!" Marco said to them. "Yeah that's an awesome idea! You're practically the only human kid who wants to be friends with us!" Brianna said to him.
They then started playing Tag. Brianna and Thornas were pretty happy that Michealis was their friend. The other kids had freaked out and hid in other places except for Michealis when they came. Fiona was secretly watching this and smiled. She didn't approve of Michealis's father but she approved of Michealis's being with them. For some reason, he wasn't like his father and that was good. Shrek was a little bit unhappy about this but when he saw how they were happy being together, he changed his mind.
But as they were getting ready for nap time, some human kids cornered Brianna and Thornas. They were the hunter's kids and were sharing the same view as their parents. Michealis watched as they hit them hard. Tears were running down their faces. "We don't want you or your friends in our class! Just go back to where ever you came from. " they said meanly as they ran off laughing. Michealis then came over to them. He was sad that they were getting picked on by the local hunter group's kids. "I can't believe they did that to you guys!" he told them as he dried their eyes. "But they're right! We shouldn't come back if this is all we're going to get." Brianna said sadly, tears welling up in her blue eyes. "They're wrong! You've gotta stay! You're too cool to leave. Besides they're jerks anyway like my Daddy and their parents. My Daddy's always mean to people like you but I like them. They're just jealous because you can do cool things like belch fire and have smoke come out of your ears and get to eat neat stuff like rats and herbs! I also like your skin! The colour rocks! Anyone who says stuff like that just doesn't want to get to know you and I already like you guys because of your inner coolness." He said to them. Suddenly there were smiles on their faces at this. "You really think so?" Thornas asked worriedly "Yep I do! I also like your Mom." He said to them. They then perked up. "Thanks! You're a good friend Michealis." They said as they fell asleep.
