When you wake up the next day, you notice an eerie silence outside. No singing from Shrek and no Donkey coming to wake you up. You get up and decide to look for them. As you walk through the swamp and past the trees, you see a hut that looks similar to yours.
This must be Shrek's hut.
You knock on the door and get no answer, but to your surprise the door is unlocked.
Shrek seems like the kind of person- I mean ogre to do that.
You open the door and on a small table you see a notebook. You open up to the first page and realise that it is a diary.
I can't read this. If he found out there would be no chance he'd ever like me.
You walk outside and begin to walk back to your hut, and as you turn around you see Shrek and Fiona in the distance, walking towards it. You start walking faster and faster and as you reach your, hut Shrek turns around.
"Uh, hi." You say.
Wow, I thought Fiona'd be a lot prettier. They look like siblings!
"Y/N! This is Fiona. I asked her to come by for dinner. I'll leave you two to talk to each other." Shrek gives Fiona a kiss on the cheek and runs out into the swamp "Donkey!" He shouts.
"Hello." Fiona says.
Her voice is a lot nicer than her looks.
"Hey." You reply, reaching out to shake her hand. She ignores it, watching as Shrek runs to his hut. You retract your hand and feel your face and neck burn.
Even a mud shower would feel nice right now.
"So..." You say, "How did you meet him? Shrek."
She laughs, "Well, I thought he was Prince Charming."
"What?" You ask.
How could someone think... he... is Prince Charming?
"He was wearing armor and, well, first he crashed into the roof. I guess I just thought that was him." She blushes. "But he's better than Prince Charming. He's more charming, you could say."
You don't want to admit that you feel the same, so you nod. "I guess." You lie.
Fiona excuses herself and you let out a sigh of relief.
No more lying.
As you head inside your hut, you hear Shrek's booming footsteps behind you. You turn around.
"Hey, Y/N. Do you want to come over for dinner?" He asks.
Oh god.
"Uh, yeah. Sure." You respond. You already know Fiona's gonna be there.
Was it a mistake saying yes? I don't know if I can handle seeing them together.
At dinner
Fiona and Donkey are talking to each other and Shrek leads you inside. Fiona glances up at you but you look away. You sit down at the table across from Shrek and Fiona, next to Donkey. As Donkey brings out the food, which happens to be onion soup, you see Fiona make a disgusted face.
"Onions!" She shouts. "You want me to eat onions? And there's not even bread to go with?!"
"Oh, Fiona, I'm sorry. I can make you bread" Shrek apologizes.
"No, Shrek! You don't understand! You aren't like me! You don't care about the little things!" Fiona yells.
Shrek looks confused. "The little things?"
You glance at Donkey and he looks like he's trying to break up the fight, but continues getting interrupted.
You try the soup and hate that you agree with Fiona.
If Shrek doesn't agree with her then he'll never agree with me.
Fiona storms out and Shrek runs after her, but she is far too fast for him. He walks back inside, his head hung, and slumps into his seat. Donkey tells Shrek that he's going to run after her.
"Eh, it's no use." Shrek says sadly.
Despite what Shrek said, Donkey continues running after Fiona, who is now not visible from the hut.
You sit in the seat next to Shrek. You grab his hand, which only after doing so you realise that it might not be the best idea, but you keep your hand on his.
"I guess she's really all fancy-type." Shrek mumbles.
You stifle a laugh, only to realise that Shrek is also laughing.
After talking to him for a while, Shrek puts his hand on yours.
"Y/N," He says "Thank you. Maybe Fiona isn't all perfect."
You can feel your heart beating faster, and you notice that your faces are closer than they ever have been.
Are we about to kiss?
He leans in, and you follow, his arms grabbing your back as your lips interlock. He pulls away, and you nearly fall forward.
"Uh. Y/N, do you think this is too soon?" He asks as he looks into your eyes.
Before you can answer he leans in again, but this time you pull away. You take your hand out of his grasp just as Donkey walks in, out of breath.
"I-" Donkey gasps "I couldn't catch up with her. I'm sorry Shrek."
"It's alright. Maybe it just weren't meant to be." Shrek replies.
You see Shrek's face turn red and he looks away from Donkey.
"I'm gonna go." You say, turning to leave.
Nobody says anything, and you go back home.
