Chapter 10: The Potion Takes Affect!

*Willow's/Anastasia's POV*

I woke up to the sound of some girls whispering to each other about us.

Well...more specifically, Shrek and Zero. "Look, I told you they were here. Look at them!"

"Shh. Quiet."

"Look at them."

I slowly stood up and rubbed some dust off my dress that is now dry. "Morning everyone."

The girls looked at me and gasped while I readjusted my pink and blue flower headband and turned to the girls with a smiled shyly, giving them a small wave. "H-Hello."

"Oh my gosh, she's so pretty!"

"Is she a Princess?"

"She certainly does look like one, doesn't she?"

I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. I've never gotten comments about my outfit before by complete strangers. It feels strange...but actually pretty nice. "Um...thank you. My name is Anastasia, but my friends call me Willow. Sorry that my friends and I are intruding."

I heard a groan beside me and looked to see a man slowly get up.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." One of the girls greeted. The man yelled and sat up straight.

Who is he? Where are Shrek and-Oh...well, there's Alice who is laying beside my feet, and Zero is laying asleep beside her-wait...

Why is he wearing a crown? And how does he have wings?

(A/N: Zero's/Xavier's crown)

"Good morning." All three girls greeted.

"We love your kitty." One of them said, holding boots.

I looked at the man closely. "Shrek?"

He stood up and was wobbling a little while placing a hand on his head. "Oh...my head..."

"Here, I fetched a pail of water for you." One of the girls said, holding it in her hands.

"Thanks..." Shrek said slowly. He looked down at his hands and screamed, finally noticing he looked human. He grabbed the pail of water and looked at it wide eyed then dropped it on the floor, spilling the water everywhere. "Ah!"

I heard two people groaning and slowly stood up. Alice grabbed me so she wouldn't lose her balance. She still looks the same compared to Shrek and Zero, with the exception of a tiara on her head. "My head hurts..."

"Is it morning already?" Zero asked.

"It is, but you might want to check your reflection in that bucket of water over there, Zero. I think maybe that potion actually kicked in overnight while you were asleep..." I said slowly while pointing at the bucket of water on the ground across the room. "Same for Alice as well because she's wearing a tiara."
