Maybe in another life

III

Shrek studied the figure closely. He made out what seemed to be a boy around his age, In his mid twenties or so. He was tall and lean, not quite skinny not quite buff either. From what Shrek could see the boy had blue delicate fur and tan coloured fur on his stomach. Shrek stood and looked to his side, next to him he saw a pile of clothes. A black turtle neck, which was cropped, a pair of baggy trousers that came with multiple conveniently placed pockets which Shrek assumed were for holding snacks of some sort. And finally, a pair of combat boots. Shrek looked up from the pile of clothes and back at the lake where noticed the boy was gone.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Shrek turned around startled, his eyes widened at the face of this mystery boy. He marvelled at his sheer beauty finding himself lost in his eyes.
"I u-hmm" was all Shrek could mange to make come out of his mouth.
Shrek looked down at the floor when he noticed the boys lack of clothing....
The boy looked down and realised the situation he was in.
"T-turn around! Let me get dressed and then you can talk"

Fiona's POV:

I'm sick and tired of this. I can't believe my husband of FIVE years has abandoned me in this shitty swamp with three children. I'm going to find him alright. He will pay for this pain he's caused his very own family.
Besides all that drama I've been making donkey and his misses look after the kids and sleeping with other women I find in the local tavern. Shrek was never good In bed. Or maybe it was because we never truly loved one another... I still remember the day...I was locked away in that stupid tower waiting for a prince. Instead I got a stupid ogre. Shrek took everything from me, my dreams my hopes even my beauty. I HATE HIM I HATE THAT STUPID OGRE. But....it was fun. While it lasted. Hah. I'm pathetic. Listen to me. Going on about how much I hate Shrek but I never once did something about it. I let the easy laid back life i lived with him blind me. Now here I am. In some random woman's bed.

I picked myself up and walked to the bathroom. It was much cleaner than the one at home. I splashed my face with the cold water and looked up at the steam covered mirror. I whipped away the condensation with my hand and that's when I noticed.... I was no longer.....an ogre??!??

"Okay now turn around and tell me your name," said the boy.
Shrek turned and stared at the boys immaculate physique.
"Well? Spit it out"
Shrek stammered
"I Uhm.. my names Shrek"
The boy smacked his mouth with his hand.
"Shrek? Hah!" The boy chuckled. " that's a funny name. Mines sonic nice to meet you." Sonic held out his hand towards Shrek. In return Shrek gabbed his hand and shook it.
"Now then." Said sonic " mind telling me where I am?"
"W-what ?" Shrek looked sonic in the eyes, puzzled. How could someone be this deep in the land of happily every after and not know where they were.
"You heard me."
"Uh the land of happily ever after of course..."
Sonics eyes widened. He clenched his fists and looked at the ground cursing under his breath.
"So that fat bastard actually did it...." Sonic composed himself and took a deep breath.
"I-I'm confused," was all Shrek could manage to say.
"It's none of the matter my brown haired fellow" Sonic ruffled Shreks hair "why don't we find a place to grab a drink I'll explain it to you later."
Shrek didn't have hair.....
