Feels Like Friendship

Charming cackled as he remembered what that human girl had said to his foe. He had a feeling his foe was beginning to care about her like he did about the others.

"How is she magical? She's just a human but it doesn't matter. All I need is a certain spell to be read." he told himself looking at a photo of his mother and him.

He had gotten Cyclops to steal a page from a special spell book but he needed magic which he lacked......

"So everything will fall into place.... Then nothing can stop me, not even Shrek." he thought smiling.

The princesses were curious about Marissa as she played with the triplets.

"Who is she and where did she come from?" Snow asked Fiona.

"Her name's Marissa and she came from Earth." she answered her.

But Shrek saw something strange about Marissa as her eyes glowed with blue light as she made the ball come down from the tree and float into her hands.

The triplets stared at her in awe.

"How come you have super powers?" one of them asked.

"I-I don't know. It was pretty cool huh?" she replied to them.

Artie was nervous but worried about Shrek. He hadn't been himself. The weird dreams had started ever since they'd returned from Far, Far Away after the triplets were a year old. He hadn't told anybody.

Until now because Fiona was worried.

He hadn't ate, played with the triplets, spent alone time with Fiona and seeing him wake up in the middle of the night worried.

"Maybe..... Charming's doing this. He doesn't take not having things his way wrong.

I know it's hard to believe but it could happen." Artie suggested.

"Artie I'm not sure it's Charming..... He's with Farquaad in the spirit realm...." he answered yawning.

"You need to get some sleep.

You haven't been yourself since the dreams started." Artie heard Puss say as Shrek fainted.

Fiona saw Marissa run to her husband's side as well as her.

"Will he be okay?" Artie asked scared.

"Yes. He's totally sleep deprived. It's like a mega nap." Marissa told her as Fiona helped her husband onto the couch and put a blanket over his sleeping body.

But he began to shake after a while along with tossing and turning......

Marissa was in the kitchen with Fiona and the others when they heard an ear splitting scream which shocked them

Beside Shrek was another ogre but she looked thirteen or younger. She wore a black dress with short brown hair

"Who is that and why does she look like you?" Fiona asked curious.

"I'm Uni but I'm.... your husband's sister. I wasn't aware until my foster parents told me about him." she answered to her.

"How come I've never seen you before if we're family?" Shrek asked her. "Mom gave me away when I was two after you were born. After I was adopted, they made it seem like you were their only child.

I've been living in Duloc for twelve years now." she explained hugging him.

He could see it was true.

"Welcome home Uni." he whispered with tears in his eyes.

Marissa smiled as she and Artie went outside. He'd seen her do that cool thing with the ball.

He was curious about her. But right now she had too many things on her mind.

"Why do I have powers? It's like I belong here than in my world.

Why is Charming in my and Shrek's dreams?

I don't understand...." she thought looking at the star.

"Make a wish." Artie told her softly.

"I wish.... we could find out why Shrek and I have these weird dreams, why I have powers and why I fit in here when I can't in the world I come from." she said softly. Fiona was listening.

She then approached.

"Maybe Merlin can help us." she said.

"That's a great idea." Artie replied as Marissa nodded.....
