One and Lonely

Snow wondered why Fiona was so quiet during lunch but understood why seeing the new ogre student. She'd seen him in Home Ecomics cooking. She hoped that somebody would talk to him.

"Maybe you should talk to him.

You guys have something in common." Snow told her as Fiona nodded in reply. She wandered over to him but saw Karin give her a frosty glare.

"Look she's being with her own kind!" the girl with black hair and glasses told them as the ogre boy lowered his head. He looked into Fiona's turquise eyes and saw that she understood how he felt.

"Hey there you okay?" she asked him as he pushed some brown hair from his hazel eyes. He saw that Karin picked on this girl too but for the same reason she did with him.

"Now I remember.

She's the one who becomes an ogre at night.

No wonder she feels so alone but that black haired girl is always with her." he thought as he saw jocks and sighed. He wasn't like other boys human or ogre because he was smart and liked to cook. Other ogre kids had teased him about this.

"I-I'm Shrek.

I moved here a while ago but didn't feel confident en ough to start here until this year." he said to her.

Fiona nodded in reply.

"I'm Fiona.

I understand how you feel.

People were always mean to me too until Snowdrop became my friend." she said to him. He smiled as the bell for next class rang and he left.

Snow smiled as they were in English.

Later after finishing her homework, Fiona headed to the mall with Snow to the mall. She still had lots of money from her birthday. Snow saw Shrek in the food court. He was reading manga while drinking a root beer while some kids were surrounding him.

"What're you doing here freak?" Karin told him as tears were in his hazel eyes. Fiona saw that and was angry. He hadn't done anything to make them hurt him.

Anger boiled in her as she lunged at the girls with a flying kick sending them into the fountain. Snow was amazed along with Karin's friends at that.

"Wow Fi-Fi that was awesome!" Snow said as Fiona stood there. She'd also surprised herself by that. But she knew why. She hated how Karin treated people like her who were different than her and wanted her to know how it felt to feel worthless for once.

"You rocked Fiona." Shrek told her as he left the food court.

Lillian heard about what had happened at the mall from Snow and was amazed but impressed. She'd never imagined Fiona would stand up for somebody else and forget to be afraid.

"Maybe this friendship is a good thing for her." the queen thought but Harold wasn't happy. He was convinced that Snow was a bad influence on his daughter and was worried that Fiona would turn out wild.

The next day at school Snow saw sadness in Fiona's turquise eyes but she wouldn't tell her what was wrong but it was to do with her father. Harold had told her that the only reason she existed was for the world to hate and fear her.

Lillian had been angry hearing her daughter crying and nearly exploded at her husband. She knew that Fiona would make her life whatever she wanted it to be and not what other people told her.

But there was a field trip coming up at the park and Snow smiled wistfully. She had this strange feeling about Fiona because whenever they were together, she felt all warm and funny inside.

"Maybe I should make a pinic." the ebony haired princess thought as she saw Fiona blush as they were together.

Fiona felt better as she and Snow walked out of school after the final bell. She was going on the field trip too but felt nervous as her long red hair hung around her face.

In Fiona's room Snow was doing something with her friend's hair. She was putting it into a long braid so it wouldn't look so messy in front of other people but she felt so happy being allowed to touch her hair and be so near her like this.

"Snowdrop you okay?

This'll make people like me, right?" Fiona asked her softly.

"Yeah it will but even if others don't, I like you." Snow replied blushing. Fiona smiled as well blushing. She too had these feelings for Snow but hid them inside.

"......Thanks Snowdrop.

You're heck of a friend." she said to her.

Snow kept hearing that as she was in her house alone making the picnic for tomorrow. She smiled as she made a cookie, a very special one for a certain somebody. She had also made ramen and pork noodles along with squid and burgers and other things along with making a pitcher of ice tea.

Fiona was lying in bed that night smiling as she was in her night dress. She was thinking of tomorrow and just being with Snow.
