Promise

A/N Here's more. This chapter involves Fiona's parents trying to do what is right to help Fiona. But the winged stranger is trying to make them do something they don't want to consider. I hope you enjoy.

Harold wondered what the winged stranger wanted to do but what was the price she'd said he would have to pay for helping his daughter? He hoped that he wasn't wrong here. She laughed at him.

"I know what to do to help Fiona. That witch was terrible to make your precious daughter an ogre by night but it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't banished her from the kingdom." she said to him.

"I know, I know.

Just get on with it already." Harold told her impatiently. She laughed at the king.

"Nothing much has changed about you frog prince. I propose we place her in a tower guarded by a fire breathing dragon in the highese room of the tallest tower until her prince comes.

The spell will only break if she finds her true love and take true love's form." she explained to him.

Harold gasped in shock hearing that.

He wanted to help Fiona but couldn't bear to do it by locking her in a tower for the rest of her life waiting for somebody to come.

"Who's that?" Lillian asked as she entered the room. "I'm a Fairy Godmother.

I came here after hearing what happened to your daughter." she told the queen.

"What did she suggest for helping Fiona?" Lillian asked her husband with concern in her eyes. The Fairy Godmother smiled at this seeing fear in Harold's eyes. She couldn't wait to hear this.

"That's right Harold tell her." she said laughing but to Lillian, her voice sounded evil, like she was up to something.

"She..... wants us to put our daughter in a tower guarded by a fire breathing dragon and wait until her true love comes to help break her curse. I didn't say yes to it Lillian.

Just considering it, that's all." he replied to her.

There was anger in her eyes as she heard that. "There's no damn way I'm locking my only child in a tower just for the spell to break. Sorry no dice!" Lillian replied angrily.

Harold saw the Fairy Godmother leave with Kyle.

Harold sighed with fear as he saw how angry Lillian was about this. He hadn't meant to offend her. It was only a suggestion.

He saw her go to her room.

He sighed.

Things were not going well about this......

Meanwhile Fiona was with Shrek in the forest building a tree house. Apparently the ogre youngster was good at building things and using tools which amazed Fiona. Suddenly she heard a funny noise. It was coming from his stomach.

"You okay?" Fiona asked him giggling at the sound.

"Yeah just hungry. I haven't had lunch yet. There weren't anything to eat here.

Oh wait I forgot!" he said grabbing the bag and pulling out a sub with weedrat stew and eyeball jelly in it.

"That looks good." Fiona said.

"Yeah that's true." Shrek replied as she took a bite.

"Hey this is good! Daddy said..... you eat things like bugs but that's just something the grown ups made up right? But if it is, it's okay.

You're still cool." she told him as they kept building.

"Yeah I eat buggs sometimes but only when there's no weedrat stew or anything to eat.

It's..... just, nothing.

Just forget it!" he replied to her sadly. She had a feeling she knew what was wrong with him.

"He must be missing home and his Mommy and Daddy. If I were him, I'd understand how he feels.

Maybe I should talk to him." she thought as she saw him go get paint but there was sadness in his hazel eyes. Her assumptions were right, he was feeling homesick and missing his parents. She saw him return with paint.

"You miss your home and your parents don't you? That's why you're feeling a little sad. I have a feeling that maybe they do want you to come back someday.

I know it.

I think my parents might be sending me away." she replied to him.

Those words sent a chill down the ogre boy's spine hearing that.

"W-Why would you be leaving?" he asked nervously.

"Because of the being an ogre at night thing. My parents are scared and maybe might send me away to somewhere far, far away from them and..... you.

You're my best friend, you know that, right?" she told him sadly looking away from him with tears in her eyes. He didn't know what to do to make her happy but knew something like this could happen because of the spell the witch had cast on her.

"Don't worry Fiona. It won't happen. Besides I know we're best friends and thanks for making me feel better. I do miss my parents but my Mom especially.

My Daddy wants me to be like him but I don't want to. He has a dislike for humans. He told me to watch out for the ones with pitchforks. They're monsters but you're nice.

I can tell.

It's part of you." he explained to her.

She smiled at that as they began to paint the tree house. She hoped that things would be okay.

But in the castle Harold was in the garden looking up at the sky. He was sad but knew he was trying to help Fiona but Lillian was really ticked off and when that happened, he had to stay away from her until she cooled down.

"I know she was mad but I'm just trying to do what's best for Fiona." he thought sadly.

He then saw the Fairy Godmother show up.

"What did your wife say about this? Is she still angry about my suggestion?

You know we don't need her." she said to him as he felt nervous around her.

"Umm..... Fairy Godmother?

What was the price you said I would have to pay for getting you to help me?" he asked her curiously. She smiled as she pushed her glasses up.

"You'll be turned into a frog again, that's what!

Does Lillian know you used to be a frog?

Maybe she'll love her husband even if he's a frog." she answered him. Harold gulped in fear. He'd a feeling that if Lillian ever knew his secret about him being a frog prince, she wouldn't love him.

But he wasn't very confident unlike his wife.

"I want to talk it over with Lillian alright? She is Fiona's mother after all and she has a say too." he replied nervously. The Fairy Godmother understood.

"Fine talk it over but I'll be back." she said leaving.....
