Feels Like Friendship

A/N Thanks to Dawnmist11 for reviewing. Here's the next chapter!

They then heard laughter as somebody entered the hospital room where Marissa and the baby were sleeping peacefully.

It was a witch with wavy purple hair and wore a hooded cloak. She cackled seeing the baby.

"So this is the future heir of the kingdom eh?" she thought as she recited a spell as magic shot out of her hands engulfing the young infant.

Shrek followed Artie into the room seeing the witch there.

Artie heard Shrek tremble.

That shocked him to see his friend in a state of fear.

"What did you do to my child?

Tell me!" Artie yelled as Marissa woke up seeing the witch there.

"I'll let you find out yourself!" she cackled disappearing....

"Who was that boss and why were you so afraid of her?" Puss asked Shrek.

But before he could answer, they heard Artie and Marissa gasp.

Their baby had becme an ogre.

"Hey it's okay.

She still looks cute, even cuter than before." Fiona told them trying to reassure them.

"Yeah it's true. She is cute as an ogre but we're worried for her as she grows up. Other kids will be cruel to her and we wanna make sure she's strong enough to handle it when she's older." Artie said through tears.

Marissa saw him leave and Shrek follow him along with Donkey and Puss.

"Hey Artie you okay? Don't worry she'll be okay. " Shrek said to the young king.

"It's not her I'm worried about, it's you.

You seemed pretty freaked out when that witch showed up." Artie said softly.

"I've met her before as a child. She told me my fortune if I gave her some lice from my head.

That's why I freaked, okay? I thought she was doing it because of me but I'm not sure." Shrek answered.

They looked a little shocked hearing that.

"No Shrek it's not you.

She must be mad at me and Marissa but why?

What did we do to her? I'm getting very scared but for some reason you seem to make things better." Artie told Shrek.

"It's just what friends do. Besides I bet when she's older, she won't care if she's human or ogre because she has parents and people in her life that care about her." Shrek replied as Artie smiled.

"Thanks man.

Maybe you're right Besides we'd better get back to the castle to get ready for the baby.

I'm going to need your help." Artie said.
