Ch 11
Puss then saw Charming as he broke into Charming and Rapunzel's lair. Fiona was feeling angry at both Charming and Rapunzel for hurting her husband. "Wait until I get my hands on them! They'll be begging me to stop smacking them around." She thought as she was still chained to the wall.
But then she saw the wall crack as her Mom head butted her way into the lair. She then saw Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Doris run into the lair past her. "Guys what're you doing here? Where's Snow?" Fiona asked as Cinderella used her slipper to cut through the ropes freeing her.
"We came to rescue you. Snow is at the castle with your husband. She insisted on it." Doris answered as they escaped through the crack. Snow had moved Shrek into a bed in a room in the castle. She hoped that Lillian and the others would come back soon.
Fiona then ran into the throne room when she and the others got back to the castle. "Hey Snow. How's my husband?" she asked her. "He's worse but I'm whipping up a potion that might help him. I'm going to the kitchen to mix it up." She answered her gently.
Fiona then went upstairs to the room where her husband was. "Hey honey how're you? I was worried about you when Charming and Rapunzel captured me." She asked as she touched his face. "Not great. I feel bad. I'm… afraid." He answered her coughing slightly. "Don't worry honey. Mom and the others are working on something to help." Fiona told him smiling. She then saw Artie with the triplets in his arms. They wanted to be with Daddy. "Hey there my sweeties. I wanna hug you but I'm not very well and I don't want you cuties to get sick too." he told them as Fiona cuddled them.
"Hey you feeling better?" Artie asked Shrek gently. "Not really. I need you to look after the kids for me until I get better, okay?" he answered the teen.
Fiona then smiled softly at Shrek as she left the room. Lillian and the other princesses were in the royal kitchen making hat looked like gazspacho but with herbs in it. "Will this work?" Fiona asked Snow White. "It will. Trust me." she answered her. Lillian then saw Fiona add something into it. It was a weed rat. "You said we had to add something personal to it that relates to the sick person." Snow told her. Fiona then watched as Doris poured it into a goblet. "Thanks guys. I can always count on you guys." she told them as she went to the room her husband was resting in. He opened his eyes slowly.
"Hey honey I brought you something to drink. It'll make you feel better." she said as he sat up. He then drank it. He began to feel better. "Thanks honey. We need to take care of both Charming and Rapunzel before they do any damage to people we care about." he said. "Don't worry we will once your strength returns and you're fully better." she replied to him as he lay back in bed. Snow smiled as she saw Fiona join her. "How is he?" she asked her. "He's feeling better." Fiona answered. But then Snow kissed her on the lips.
"What was that for?" Fiona asked surprised. "I'm sorry. It's just I like you." she replied blushing. "It's okay. I like you too. But we've got to keep this a secret from the others. They wouldn't understand." Fiona replied as she kissed her back. But they were unaware that Rapunzel had seen that and smiled. "I've got something I can use against Fiona to shame her! Wait until the kingdom hears." she thought as she ran off from the castle.
Lillian and the others then saw Rapunzel appear in front of them. "What do you want?" Lillian asked angrily. "Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you guys this time. I've got something that might shock you about your only daughter." she told her. "What do you mean?" Doris asked curiously. "Fiona... and Snow like each other. I saw them kiss each other." she answered them. Doris and the other girls gasped at that. Fiona then saw them go quiet as she and Snow walked into the room. "What's up with you guys? Why're you guys quiet?" she asked them.
"We know about you and Snow liking each other." Cinderella said to her. "How do you know about that? We didn't tell you guys!" Snow said angrily. "Rapunzel told us. Is it really true? Do you like each other, maybe even love each other?" Lillian asked them. "So what if it is? You guys shouldn't judge us!" Fiona heard Snow say as she ran off into another room. Fiona then followed her into the room. Snow was curled up in a ball with her long black hair falling around her arms and head. "Don't worry Snow. It'll be okay. I promise. I don't care what others think or say about this. Besides my husband will understand." she told her gently. "But the kingdom will disown us as princesses. Being a princess is the only thing I have left." she told her through tears. "No it's not. I stopped becoming a princess long ago after I took Love's True Form and married Shrek and I'm doing good for myself." Fiona explained softly. Snow smiled as she lifted her head up to look at her ogre friend.
"Thank you Fiona. I wish... there were more women like you in the kingdom who are brave, wise and don't care about thir appearance. I have a long way to go before I'll be fully like that, Maybe I should go." Snow replied softly kissing her. Fiona watched as she walked out of the room. Fiona then joined Shrek. He smiled warmly at her. "Hey honey. I heard what happened. I still love you and accept ya. I don't care if you like girls." he told her kissing her. She felt better. But in the middle of the night, they were woken up by Lillian. "What's wrong Mom?" Fiona asked sleepily.
"It's Snow. She's missing." she answered. Fiona woke up at once when she heard that. Lillian and the other princesses were feeling guilty as Fiona walked into the ball room. "We're... sorry, okay? We never meant to hurt you or Snow's feelings. When Rapunzel told us, we were pretty shocked. We should've supported you." Doris told her. "It's okay guys I forgive you but let's find Snow." she told them hugging them, filling them with inner strength and the empowerment that helped them kick butt...
