What If?
Everybody was running until they saw Artie, Lillian's nephew. "Arthur?" Harold yelled, he walked over to them "Uncle Harold, Aunty Lillian?" they nodded. He continued to walk away "Arthur where are you going?" Lillian asked "Away! I trusted Shrek, and he betrayed me!". Artie took a step but Donkey yelled "Shrek saved your life. Charming was going to kill you.". The group continued to the castle, Lillian looked behind her to see Artie. But she didn't. They finally reached inside when they started fighting off the guards, punching and kicking they got behind stage. Harold looked at Lillian one more and smiled, she winked at Harold and they bursted out into stage.
"Well, well, well. Charming you decided to join the party." Harold said, Charming looked at them in shock. The crowd stood up to see their king and queen alive. Charming told the crowd that they were dead. "We won't kill you, but you have to leave now, and never return.". Charming laughed and clapped his hands. The bandits and pirates jumped onto the stage and surrounded them. The evil queen put a knife to Lillian's neck, Harold tried to run over to her but was stopped by a sword pressed against his throat. They tied his wrists together with rope. Charming grabbed a sword and walked over to the king "You should have just stayed in the cell. Now, I have to kill you.". Harold looked at Charming straight into the eyes "Do it." he said through gritted teeth. Lillian tried to get away but was stopped by other knights. Charming smirked and raised the sword, Harold closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Stop!" someone yelled, everybody looked up to see Artie jump from upstairs. "Why do you want to kill him? He's just the king, I'm the heir. I'm more valuable. If you kill him I become king. And you won't." Charming looked at Artie "You're right!". He raised his sword again but was tackled by something green. He looked up and saw Shrek there. He threw Charming across the stage and Dragon hit the fake tower onto him. All the evil servants to Charming backed down.
