Here's more and I hope you like.

Thanks to Rooz for her review as I know she likes it.

Many years had passed since that night when Cookie had left the resistance and Brogan had felt bad as he'd known that Cookie had cared about him since they were seven years old but after that night, he'd been searching for her so he could tell her he was sorry and they could be friends again but Balzac saw him return from yet another search as his trumpet shaped ears drooped sadly as he and the others understood that their leader was sad and needed to cheer up but Gretchen knew that Fiona hadn't visited since that night but she had been helping him search for Cookie.

"Are you feeling better sir?" Gainrac asked.

Brogan shook his head in reply as he wanted to be alone for a while but he needed to think as he was in his tent looking at a photo of him and Cookie as little kids as a tear fell from his eye but unaware that Gretchen had seen this but felt sorry for him.

She then left him alone as they went to train but hoped Brogan would calm down.

He sighed looking at that photo as his inner fire burned inside of him as he remembered when they were younger and he'd nearly given up and Cookie had told him never to give up and those words were now in his head.

"I won't give up on searching for you Cookie.

I know you're out there somewhere." he thought.

A small yet sad smile crossed his face as he went to eat.

He planned to go back int5o the forest and search for his best friend...

Later that night, Brogan was searching in the forest as he had been doing since Cookie had ran away but he wasn't giving up as he knew that she was out there but was nervous knowing she'd been upset when he'd saw Fiona hug him and he told her his feelings but he sniffled a little as he was going deeper into the forest where he and Cookie used to play in when they were little but then he saw hunters surround him but he was taking care of them but was outnumbered but the hunters saw a figure approach but took some of them out.

"It's her!" they yelled.

"Yeah iy's me.

Stop picking on us ogres!

We're not dumb beasts like you think." Brogan heard her say.

But he gasped knowing that voice from years gone by.

"Cookie?" he asked as she snarled.

"Yes my name's Cookie.

What's it to you?" she replied to him.

"Don't you know me?

It's me Brogan.

We're best friends." he said.

He then looked at her but noticed she'd changed.

She wasn't fay anymore but slender.

She had silver hair tied up in a braid but her goatee was now rat like whiskers which stunned him as he hadn't been able to tell her if he hadn't heard her voice but he knew she was still mad at him for hurting her feelings as she smacked him in the face.

"I guess U deserve that huh?

Cookie I'm sorry.

I never meant to hurt you that night." he told her.

She didn't really answer to him as she walked away as he understood that but was stunned seeing her fall as she was hurt by hunters as Brogan wanted to run to her side but saw somebody by her side as it was an ogre male in ninja clothes but was holding a long cane as he then cast a spell to heal Cookie's wounds but he noticed that Brogan had entered his home but he sighed remembering Cookie talking about him to him.

"You're here to upset her, right?

If you are, I will hurt you.

She's been through more than you know." Yaiko told him.

"Don't worry I'm not here to hurt her.

I was worried about her as I felt bad that I made her leave because I made a mistake.

I just want to be her friend again." he said.

Yaiko understood as he could tell Brogan cared about Cookie as much as he did and knew that he only wanted to help her but knew that Cookie wouldn't trust him as her heart had closed up and felt hard to trust others but remembered the few days after he'd found her and had began teaching her what he'd known and remembered her anger whenever he'd mentioned Brogan but Brogan knew that she had a right to be angry but he stroked her silver hair as tears welled up in his eyes but he saw Yaiko glare at him but the muscle bound ogre male understood as he saw Cookie's eyes open.

"W-What're you doing here?

I thought you forgot about me." she said weakly yet coldly.

He felt guilty hearing this.

"I-I didn't forget about you.

I never stopped searching for you.

Once you ran away, the others and I were worried and searched for you but we couldn't find you but as the years went on, the others gave up but Shrek, Fiona and I never stopped giving up.

I hope you forgive me." he told her.

Cookie glared at him but didn't respond.

He hoped that she would open up her heart again.

He then saw Yaiko return but he sighed.

He hoped things would be okay...
