Fiona woke up screaming; she started panting. She knew exactly what just happened: she had woken from a horrible nightmare. A nightmare that could haunt her until she sees Shrek again.

All she saw around her was the ocean and Donkey and Puss standing next to her. Donkey asked, "Princess, are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?"

Fiona was then slapped by reality, and she shook her head. She replied, slowly lying back down on her back, "Yes, Donkey. I just had a nightmare, but I am okay. I just… I just miss Shrek already, and it hasn't even been 24 hours."

She could feel tears coming up her eyes and she thought, if I wasn't a moron and wait forever to tell Shrek about the baby he would be with me. I wouldn't be having nightmares and I wouldn't be sitting here crying.

Puss said, "No need to worry, princesa. I'm sure Shrek will be in Far Far Away when you return with Arthur. He probably felt like a bastard and returned right when he left."

Fiona scoffed and she sat up to face the animals. "I highly doubt it. He was pissed off at me. I know that Shrek was not happy and he is probably missing his ogre self. You know he is not used to being a… normal human being."

Donkey rolled his eyes, and he said, "He needs to get over himself and stop being selfish. That's how he always is. He never thinks about anyone else's feelings which is why he is mad at you."

Fiona thought, tears rolling down her face, I wonder if my life would have been better if I had married Prince Charming… but it would be impossible for me to fall in love with someone else because I still love Shrek more than anyone else. But still, I wonder…

"I'm just afraid of becoming a mother, especially to a child whose father hates their mother. I don't want my child to grow up without a loving father, and I most definitely do not want to divorce Shrek."

Donkey replied, "Princess, Shrek will come around in the end and realize how much you love him and how much your baby will mean to him. After all, it is his child so he better be a loving father. If he is not, I'll give him the jackass treatment."

Puss couldn't help but let out a laugh. "He said jackass," he whispered to himself while giggling.

Donkey frowned at Puss, and he said, "You know we are called those, and I really will whoop Shrek's you-know-what."

Fiona chuckled at her friends, and she looked ahead at the ocean. She could see hills of land in front of her, and she yelled, "Leif!"

Leif, the sailor, immediately ran up to Fiona and he put his hands behind his back. He asked, "Yes, Princess?"

She asked, pointing at the land ahead of her, "Is that where Worcestshire is?"

Leif glanced at the land, and he replied with a smile, "Yes it is. We are here, so you may want to get ready for a land-ho."

Fiona smiled and she replied, "Thank you."

Leif went over to the wheel again and left Fiona with Donkey and Puss. Puss asked, "So all we have to do is go into the school, get Arthur, and leave?"

Donkey replied, "Yes. Let's just hope Leif doesn't accidentally leave us here." Then the ship came to slight sudden stop in front of a dock.

"Land-ho!" yelled Leif. The three looked at the land that they were about to set foot on, and Puss asked, "What are we waiting for? Let's go get the future king!"

Fiona smiled and she took a breath of the fresh air that smelled like grass. Then, she was the first one to step foot on the dock. As she stepped off the boat, Puss jumped onto her shoulder and sat on it.

"Don't mind me. I do this on Shrek's shoulder all the time," Puss said with a smile.

Fiona chuckled, and she gave him a pat on the head. Then Donkey got off the boat with a stumble and he groaned, "Okay, I'm ready to go."

Fiona and Puss chuckled, and the three of them started heading up towards the school. However, what they didn't catch was that someone had been on the boat the whole time with them… maybe to help them out. That person had decided to follow them up to the school as well.

Fiona, Donkey, and Puss reached the entrance of Worcestshire and stared at the entrance sign above the large black gates. Donkey said, "Wor-cest-shire? Now that sounds fancy!"

After he mispronounced Worcestshire, Fiona replied with the correct pronunciation, "It's Worcestshire, Donkey. I remember my parents telling me all about this place because my mom used to go here."

Donkey asked, "Like the sauce? Mm, it's spicy!" Then suddenly, the gates started to open and slammed right in front of them.

"Oh, they must be expecting us!" Donkey exclaimed. As they started to take some steps into the school, a school bus approached behind them, but they jumped out of the way before the horses trampled them over.

Puss asked, "What kind of place is this?" He was feeling frightened from the loud horses and teenagers yelling from the bus.

Fiona laughed at the cat, and she replied, "It is a high school. I've never been to one, but it looks neat so far."

They continued to walk through the high school, seeing teenagers doing typical teenage things like smoking and taking driving lessons. There were also kids fighting with fake swords and others trying out mascot costumes.

Donkey said, "This place is kind of weird. I'm not used to seeing teenage people. They're giving me wedgies!"

Puss turned around on Fiona's shoulder to face Donkey and he asked, "How can you feel a wedgie when you're clearly not a wearer of the underpants?"

Donkey frowned at Puss, and said, "Never mind that. I was just saying it."

Then, they walked up to two boys playing chess, and Fiona asked, "Excuse me? Can I ask you guys a question?"

One of the boys asked feeling swooned by Fiona's beauty, "And what would your question be, baby?"

Fiona frowned and she asked, "Do you know where Arthur Pendragon is?"

The other boy said angrily, "Don't tell me you're interested in that loser."

Then Fiona gave both of them a slap on the face, and she said with frustration, "Listen to me! I am not interested in him! I actually happen to be married and the princess of Far Far Away, so you better tell me where he is and stop flirting with me!"

The boys groaned in pain, and one of them replied, "He's over there." One of the boys' nose started to bleed while the other one pointed to where Arthur was.

Fiona continued to frown at them even when she walked away. When she was a good distance from them, Puss whispered excitedly, "That was amazing, Princess!"

Fiona scoffed and she replied, "Don't even mention that moment ever again." Then they all let out some laughter.

However, they still didn't know that there was a person watching them and following them ever since they got on and off the ship.

When they reached the end of an outdoor hallway, they saw a group of boys cheering on a strong man on a horse with a sword and armor. There was another kid on a wooden horse and a fake sword about 60 feet away from the other man.

Fiona, Donkey, and Puss watched them, but they didn't know what they were saying because they were speaking in old English-like language.

Then the strong man forced his horse to sprint towards the other kid's wooden horse and then it crashed, causing the kid to fly from his horse. He fell hard on the ground while the man on the horse laughed at him.

Fiona didn't laugh because she knew that her cousin was not that strong man, but she could go give him a lesson. She gave the other kid a glance and thought, thinking about what those morons back there said about Arthur, he has to be the kid on the ground. Let's go whip the other punk's ass.

She stormed up to the strong man, and when she said, "Hey", the boys in the group made whistles and slight compliments about Fiona.

The man on the horse jumped down from his horse and slowly walked up to Fiona. He happened to be much larger than her, but Fiona wasn't afraid of him.

He smiled and said, "Hey, my name is Lancelot. What's your name, beauty?"

Fiona angrily said, "Listen to me, jackass, you shouldn't punk on those that have a disadvantage against you. Like the poor kid you just knocked off his horse! He's much smaller than you and you know that! He could be seriously hurt!"

Lancelot chuckled and said, "Who, Arthur? He should be used to it by now. He gets punked on all the time because he's just a flat out loser."

Then Lancelot's friend group started to laugh because Arthur was still on the ground listening to them, looking like he was going to cry.

Lancelot pointed him out saying, "Yeah, look at him! Such a crybaby!" Then he started to laugh along with his group.

Fiona frowned and then gave him a gut punch and a groin kick, causing him to fall to the ground in pain. His friends gasped and said, "Oh!" when he fell to the ground.

Arthur, on the other hand, smiled and got up to stand next to Fiona.

Lancelot then started to lightly sob, and Fiona asked, "Who's the crybaby now?"

He looked up at her with a frown, and groaned, "Bitch."

Fiona then blew him a kiss and then took Arthur's hand and led him away from them.

She brushed him off, and she asked, "Are you okay?"

Arthur smiled and he said, "Yeah, I'm okay. Thank you for standing up for me. I would never have the confidence to do that."

Fiona chuckled, and she asked, "You are Arthur, right?"

He nodded and he asked, "Now who are you?"

"I'm Princess Fiona of Far Far Away, or simply your cousin."

Arthur's eyes widened and he asked in shock, "Whoa, you're my cousin? What are you doing here then?"

Donkey then stepped in to say, "We're here to take you back to Far Far Away so you can become the new king!"

Then, Arthur stopped walking, which caused them to stop walking as well. "The new king? What happened to the old king?"

Puss said, "He died, and you're the next heir in line."

Arthur frowned and said, "There's no way I can run a kingdom. I'm only sixteen-years-old! I'm not mature enough to do that!"

Fiona put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him, and she said, "Sure you are! It's actually not as hard as it seems."

He brushed her hand off and he said, "I don't want to do it! I can't do it!" Then he ran away from them.

Donkey said, "Well, I guess that is what we get for asking a kid to be king."

They watched him run away, and Puss asked Fiona, "What are we going to do, Princess? We can't leave Far Far Away king-less."

Fiona sighed, and she said, "I guess we have to chase him down. There is nothing else we can do. Shrek obviously won't come back to be king, so we have to go get Arthur no matter what it takes."

Then, Puss jumped back on Fiona's shoulder and they started running towards Arthur's direction.

Back in the onion carriage, Shrek was asleep and his feet were hanging out the windows. Surprisingly, he was sleeping soundly; he was not having nightmares about his fight with Fiona.

He wasn't even afraid to become a father surprisingly. Probably because he knew that his kid would spend its whole life in the castle, without Shrek. He did not want to be a part of that kid's life, and he had no idea why. He just doesn't feel like it…

The carriage wasn't far away from the swamp, maybe three miles at the most. It was a long trip for Shrek, considering he did the same trip not too long ago.

Then he slowly woke up and he smiled when he smelled the slightly dirty air. He looked out the front and asked, "Hey, are we almost there?"

The dwarf replied, "We practically are here, Shrek. I'm about to pull up to your house."

Shrek sighed with relief and grinned widely; he thought, it is so good to be home.

Then he frowned right after he thought of that. That was the exact same thing he said when he and Fiona returned from their honeymoon. I don't even want to think about her at all. I don't even want to think about anything that I did with her.

He felt the nerve to think that he didn't even love Fiona anymore. How could one argument lead to him not loving the only woman he's practically met in his life? After the huge quest he took to save her? Was he being to dramatic?

Then he noticed some familiar trees out the window and he gasped with a smile. Home, he thought. He could feel the carriage start to slow down to its stop and his adrenaline rev its engine.

He immediately jumped out when the carriage stopped and he ran up to his house without thanking the dwarf. The dwarf frowned, and he said, "So much for a great job."

Shrek walked inside his house and he breathed in the smell he grew up with. He could tell his smile was not going to leave his face and he immediately jumped on his couch. He then pulled his blanket over him, and sighed.

"Home sweet home." Without another word, he fell back asleep peacefully, which is what he planned to do for the rest of the day.

Back at Worcestshire, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss stopped to catch their breaths. They had been running around all over the school looking for Arthur. He was nowhere to be found anywhere.

Donkey, panting, said, "We should just leave him alone. He doesn't want to do it, Princess. Plus we can't even find him!"

Fiona, still catching her breath, said, "No, we are going to find him. We have to. I'm doing this for the people."

Puss said, "That's impossible. We have been searching for him for about ten minutes and we can't find him. I hate to say it, but I agree with Donkey, Princess."

Then, Fiona pointed at another building where multiple kids seem to be going to. She said, "He's probably in there with all the other kids. Come on."

They started to walk up to the building, but then a kid stopped in front of them and said, "Uh, hold it."

Fiona said, "Listen, we are-."

"I wasn't talking to you, sweetheart," the kid replied.

Fiona gave him a confused look and she said, "You were looking right at me."

The kid shook his head and replied, "No, I wasn't."

"Looking for someone?" a voice had said behind them.

Fiona's eyes widened; she recognized that voice. When she turned around, she saw Arthur being held by his shirt collar by the one person Fiona couldn't believe was here. What the hell is he doing here?!
