We Belong Together
Ch 2
Artie smiled as he was waiting at Covent Garden.
He was feeling nervous because he'd never been in love with a girl before.
Yuki was his first real one.
"What if she doesn't like me?
Cool it Artie thinking bad thoughts will only make you more nervous." He thought as he saw somebody approach him.
His breath was taken away.
It was a Japanese girl the same age as him but wore a long blue kimono, had a fan in her left hand, had make up on.
She looked like a geisha.
"Yuki? Is that you?
You… look awesome." He told her.
"Arigato Artie.
It is me Yuki-san.
You look handsomer than on line.
You hungry?" she replied.
He nodded as they walked off holding hands.
But somebody was watching him.
It was Charming.
He wanted revenge on Shrek but could get it with the plan he had.
"Soon he'll wish he never stopped me!" he said.
A teenage girl scowled as she saw him return to an abandoned ware house in the West End.
She was a Goth and passionate about music like Snowgre.
She had long purple and black streaked hair, pale with blue lips, wore black clothes and a leather jacket.
She was Charming's niece but hated him like the rest of the others.
"You'll never win.
Shrek's an awesome dude.
You'll never beat him." She told him.
"Silence Haru.
I will be the one to win and he along with his friends won't stop me!
Not even his precious human pet can help him." He snapped.
"Whatever. I'm out of here." She replied leaving.
Snowgre was depressed as he walked down the street.
Shrek was wrecking his life by trying to help him.
His cousin had taken away his beer collection, his guitars but left his Fenstrap 3000 one alone.
He had snuck out without Shrek knowing but he went to a rave.
Besides being good at rock music and playing guitar, he was awesome at Djing and using DJ decks.
"My cousin doesn't even know I'm here.
That's good.
He was cramping my style." He thought as he scratched out his anger on the decks.
Haru smiled seeing him there as she downed a Bud Ice.
She had a weird feeling as she and Snowgre met at the bar.
"H-Hey I'm Snowgre but my friends call me Snowg.
You look hot and Gothy like me.
What about you?" he replied nervously.
"I'm Haru. My uncle sucks.
He's trying to make me help in his lame scheme but I don't want to.
I love music especially rock/punk and want to be a rock singer." She told him as he drank beer.
"That's what I want to do with my life but my cousin doesn't understand." He told her as they danced.
"What is this feeling so sudden and new?
It's awesome!
Is this… Love?" he thought as they slow danced.
"Snowgre!" a voice yelled as they were about to lock lips.
It was Shrek.
He'd been looking for Snowgre everywhere when he realised he'd gone.
"Oh man! I've got to go." He told her but felt her lips on his in a quick kiss.
"Oh I will so see you tomorrow in Hyde Park." She whispered to him.
Shrek wondered why Snowgre was smiling as they left.
Leah saw him sigh as he joined her in her and Carley's hotel room.
"What's wrong?
Is it Snowgre?" Leah asked him.
"Yes it is. I don't get what's wrong with him.
I try to help him but he sneaks out behind my back and goes to a rave.
What can I do?" he answered her.
Carley was listening to her MP3 player.
"Maybe he needs extra help to come around." She told him.
They were talking as Artie walked in.
He looked at peace.
"Did it go okay?" Shrek asked him.
"… Yeah it went awesome!" he said dreamily.
He smiled at him.
Snowgre sighed as he listened to rock music.
He felt angry at Shrek for ruining his fun.
But he heard knocking on his door as he got up.
He opened it and saw Haru standing there.
"Umm… hey I was in the area and I thought that…. Maybe…. I could stay a while." She told him.
"Sure. I was just… thinking of you." He replied as she walked in and closed the door.
Shrek sighed as he saw Carley watching Avatar in the room.
Leah had gone out on the town with Artie, Haru and the princesses.
"Poor kid.
She's missing Leah but it's okay.
She'll be back later." He thought as she heard the door bell ring.
"I'll get it!" she said getting up and answering the door.
It was food that Shrek had ordered.
He'd ordered Chinese.
He sat at the table eating noodles or trying to with chop sticks.
"You having trouble?
Chopsticks are a little tricky." Carley said.
He watched as she pulled a healthy pizza out of the oven with sushi on it.
"You want some?" she asked as he took a piece and put it on his plate.
"Thanks.
I'm sorry you 're not with Leah and the others." He replied to her.
"It's okay." She said.
Charming cackled as he saw them eating and enjoying each other's company.
He watched as they left for a walk.
Shrek was guiding her along with using her symbol cane.
"This is perfect.
I can ambush them." He told himself.
He and his minions followed them into Hyde Park.
"What's wrong?
Do you hear something?" Carley asked her ogre friend.
He was about to answer when Charming's ninjas ambushed them.
"What should we do with the girl?" one of the ninjas asked their leader.
"Return her to the hotel room.
We got what the boss wanted." he answered as they disappered with them.
Artie saw worry in Leah's eyes as they entered the room.
She saw Carley tied up and gagged.
There were various cuts and wounds over her but had a broken arm.
"W-What happened?" she asked her softly.
"Shrek and I... were in the park when ninjas ambushed us and took him.
I'm sorry." Carley answered her sad.
"Don't worry we'll rescue him." she told her as Artie and the others left.
Snowgre had a bad feeling as he was woken up by Snow.
"What's wrong?" he asked her.
"It's Carley.
She's gone!" she told him.
He felt bad after Leah explained to him what happened...
