Back at the palace, the three pigs were busy taking care of Fifi, and they were disgusted with doing so. The first pig was in charge of scrubbing the goose's teeth, the second was in charge of trimming her toenails, and the third pig was in charge of scrubbing her with a big soap brush and he plunged the brush into the suds bowl in annoyance. Rumpelstiltskin came over to his giant pet and cuddled her by the head.

"Daddy thinks you look really nice, Fifi." he said as he caressed her a bit and the goose honked which he impersonates with her. The imp then turned to the pigs as his face changed to a scowling look. "All right, Piggies, be gone! Don't forget to take her little potty box with you."

The two pigs stopped their duties and starts carrying the potty box away in disgust, while the third pig followed them as he sprays some perfume to drown any odors. Suddenly he let out a yelp in pain as he felt his tail being bitten by Fifi.

"This little piggy wants to go home!" the third pig whined.

A second later after the pigs left, the doors were opened wide and a witch named Griselda came in as she walked towards the imp.

"Mr. Stiltskin! He's here." she said to him.

"Nice." he grinned as he sat back on his throne with a couple other witches at his side.

Through the door, a man who was a bounty hunter came in as he was approaching the throne, but not using his arms and legs to do so. Instead, he used a magic flute to make a small pack of mice carrying him all the way on their backs. Once the bounty hunter revealed himself in front of the imp and witches, the mice scampered off.

"Pied Piper." Rumpelstiltskin spoke his name, "How was your commute?"

Instead of speaking, the piper communicated by playing a few notes which the imp understands.

"Good."

"You call this guy a bounty hunter?" Griselda scoffed, "What's he gonna do, flute those ogres a lullaby?"

She along with the other two witches chortled, while Rumpelstiltskin gave a nod to the piper, who nodded back, and then he turned the setting on the end of his flute from mouse to witch. As he starts playing a new song on the flute while beatboxing to the song: "Sure Shot" by the Beastie Boys, Griselda's arms began moving by themselves. The witch let out a yelp as she starts involuntarily breakdancing to the song along with the other two witches as they involuntarily got up and started dancing against their will as well.

"Okay, we got it! Make it stop!" Griselda yelled as she couldn't stop dancing.

Rumpelstiltskin just laughed at this, enjoying it. The dancing and song lasted for a bit, before the imp got up, waving his arms.

"All right, that's enough." he spoke to the piper.

With that, the witches' dancing halted, ending with involuntary dancer poses as the three panted for air, and the piper ended his tune.

"Looks like it's time to pay the piper." the imp said with an evil look. He turned to see the witches stood still in their poses. "Griselda, seriously, it's time to pay the piper. Now go get my checkbook!" he commanded, and the witches start leaving to get the checkbook, but Rumpelstiltskin was so impatient that he kicked Griselda's rear. "Go! Move! Get out! Things are getting real sloppy around here!"

While the witches left and the imp watched them go, the piper switched the setting from witch to his commissioned setting: ogre.

Back at the resistance camp, Fiona was walking by as she was carrying a plate of food. It wasn't all bugs, rats, or anything that the ogres can eat. But a plate of two turkey legs and some fresh, ripe berries. As she kept on going, she spotted Madison and the children playing. Fiona smiled for a moment until she spoke up which got everyone's attention.

"Alright, guys. I think it's time to give the human a break. Besides, it's time for you guys to eat." she said.

The children groaned in disappointment, but they do not want empty stomachs. While the children went past Fiona, the ogress turned to face Madison as she handed a plate to her.

"Cookie figured that since you don't eat the kind of food that we eat, he found something that you would enjoy."

Madison looked at the food as she could the scent of turkey which Zor could smell it as well. She smiled as she gently grabbed the plate from Fiona.

"I appreciate that. I'll thank him later." she said.

Madison sat on the stump to where she sat a lot and starts eating the bits on the turkey leg. Even gave some of them to Zor. Fiona just stood to where she was standing and looked at them until she walked towards them.

"The children did seem to like you. They must have loved your stories and playing with you."

"I have been telling them on some of my adventures and some stories that they have never heard of."

"Which is why Puss has been telling me about them."

"Puss?" Madison questioned which she already knew who he is.

"When he heard the savior's arrival, he thought he wants to see you for himself. He finds you interesting how a human is not scared of ogres but befriends them. Unless it's because you knew that ogre that you've followed him around."

"I've known Shrek because he's my friend. But the things he explained to you, and you don't know remembered, let's just say it's... very complicated."

"So... you know something about me?" Fiona questioned as she looked confused.

"Yes." Madison replied as took another bite of the turkey leg, "But like I said it's very complicated. Only my friend will tell you."

"But he did told me."

"Not... everything. Let's just say he made a small mess of things here in Far Far Away."

Fiona looked really confused. Like there were so many questions that she wanted to ask but she shook her head and was about to leave until Fiona started to speak to Madison.

"You know you should keep your friend on a leash. I don't know why he gave me gifts and try to kiss me, but you should really tell him to stop." she said.

While Madison gave a turkey piece to her dragon, she looked at her as she heard her speak and saw her go until something came to her mind.

"Fiona, wait!" Madison spoke as she put her plate down to let Zor eat and walked towards her. "I was wondering... if I could do some training. I want to fight against Rumpelstiltskin."

"Why?" Fiona questioned.

Madison brought her necklace out as she was showing it to her and started to speak.

"This necklace... It did have more powers that you couldn't imagine. But when that imp took over this kingdom... half of my powers are gone."

"Are you telling me that Rumpelstiltskin took some of the powers that the necklace has?"

"In a way... yes. And I want them back. But once we stopped him, I can get my powers back from him."

Fiona looked at her for a moment and then looked at her necklace until she nodded.

"Alright. I think I could train you a little. But remember, when we're in battle, listen to my orders."

"Yes ma'am." Madison replied.

Zor finished eating the first turkey leg and starts going for the other, but as he looked up and saw Fiona and Madison walking off, he quickly grabbed the leg with his mouth and quickly followed them.

At the training area, Fiona was near a bucket, looking through some swords. Madison was just standing to a spot as she looked at her until the ogress pulls out a sword. The blade looked clean and not rusty or covered with anything, and the handle looked silver.

"This will do." Fiona spoke to herself.

She walked towards Madison and handed the sword to her. The human felt how heavy it was for her, but she didn't care. Back at her home, she has been carrying many heavy things like her books and her luggage.

"Have you ever used a sword?" the ogress asked.

"A little. But with some training, I'll get used to it." she answered.

"Alright. Let's see what you got?" said Fiona as she was in her battle position.

While the two trained, Zor stopped eating half of the turkey leg as he looked at them. He watched his mistress as she was getting good with a sword until he spotted someone. Beside him was a chubby Tabby Cat with a pink bow as he was staring at the turkey. It was not other than Puss himself.

"Excuse me, señor. Are you going to eat that?" the cat asked.

The little dragon looked at the cat for a moment and the shoved the leg towards him. Puss licked his lips and grabbed the leg with his mouth until he ran off. Zor watched the cat leave but then looked backed at the girls until Madison was out of breath.

"Not bad, savior. With some moves you have, you can take down Rumpelstiltskin." said Fiona.

"Plus, my necklace can shoot beams at the witches if they get in my way." said Madison as she was catching her breath until she heard the sound of bells ringing.

"Dinner's over. You better return to the kids."

"Right." Madison grabbed hold of the sword and started to leave, "Let me know what your orders are for me."

Fiona nodded her head and brought out a cloth. Madison continued walking with Zor but the human did notice that the ogress will keep on training with a blindfold. Which means that soon Shrek will appear, and Fiona will train him but feel some sort of connection.

Suddenly, a turkey leg flew past her. Madison looked up to see Puss licking his fingers from the juicy meat.

"Hey!" Madison shouted at the cat as she had her hands on her hips, "You almost hit me with that bone!"

The cat looked down to see her and the dragon.

"Lo siento, señorita or should I call you savior?"

"Be really better if you call me Maddie. No need for formalities. You must be Puss, right? Fiona did mention me about you."

"That I am. I am Puss in... well, Puss." he introduced as he looked at himself.

"Weren't you Puss in Boots that I have been hearing about?" Madison asked.

"I once was in boots but sadly, I retired. I once had all the glory and all until..."

"Until the imp ruined everything."

"Si."

"But... don't you ever want those back? I mean the ogres are going out to fight him and you should too."

"I wish I could, señorita. But look at me. I am not into fighting anymore."

"But's it's never too late to regain your glory, Puss. It's also never too late to regain your fame as well. If you could at least try and help, you'll do something great.

Puss looked down in his thoughts and turned away, which Madison knew he wasn't so sure.

"Just... just think about it." she spoke softly to him and walked off.

Zor looked at his mistress as he walked and looked back at the cat. He let out a chirp to him and starts following Madison as they leave Puss in his thoughts. Puss watched them go as the words from the savior came to his head until he heard something. He turned around to see Fiona and Shrek training together, but what he also saw, was something that he'd ever seen between the two.
