"Shrek Forever After"
[It was opened up to a page of Far Far Away with King Harold and Queen Lillian holding their newborn as a man was heard narrating.]
Man's Voice:
Once upon a time a long time ago, a king and a queen had a beautiful daughter named Fiona.The pages flipped to one page of older Fiona's human form during the day, and her ogre form during the night.
Man's Voice:
But she was possessed by a terrible curse. By day, a lovely princess; by night, a hideous ogre.The pages then turned to the pages with a knight kneeling, holding a bouquet of flowers and Fiona waiting in the tower guarded by a certain dragon's tail.
Man's Voice:
Only true love's kiss would lift her curse. So Fiona waited in a tower, guarded by a dragon, until the day when her true love would arrive.The next pages showed Harold and Lillian in a carriage, racing away from their safe kingdom and into the dark, foreboding forest.
Man's Voice:
But as the days turned into years, the King and Queen were forced to resort to more desperate measures.(Flashback)
Years ago, before Harold and Lillian had reunited with their daughter, the horses pulling the carriage that carried the king and queen raced through the forest like mad.
Inside the carriage, the king and queen held each others' hands in worry. The carriage then arrived towards an even more eerie part of the forest. It was Crone's Nest Carriage Park, a medieval trailer park. The signs underneath the main said "No Vacancy" and "Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here". Two witches guarding recognized the royal carriage and opened the gates, allowing the carriage inside. The carriage slowed down and was pulled more cautiously, and as that happened, the king and queen looked at all the witches inhabiting the area near their broken down carriages.
One witch sneered, while stroking a black cat she held, and many other black cats, that she hoarded, all snarled. King Harold yelped a bit. Then he and Lillian saw another witch dumping out trash from the window of her carriage, while one witch standing by, smirking, as she made a kissy noise to the king.
King Harold:
Ew!Then he and Lillian saw a family of hillbilly-type witches, playing mandolins, spitting tobacco, holding a bottle of moonshine and giving dirty, foul looks at the visitors, while a bare-butted baby witch was crawling on the ground. The royal couple were deeply unsettled as Lillian locked the carriage door.
Driver:
(pulls reigns) Whoa, there!The horses stopped at a huge egg-like carriage with an "R" on top.
King Harold:
I don’t know about this, Lillian. Fairy Godmother said only true love’s kiss could break Fiona’s curse.Queen Lillian:
I don’t trust that woman, Harold. This may be our last hope. Besides, he does come highly recommended by King Midas.King Harold:
But to put our daughter’s life in the hands of this…person? He’s devious. He’s deceitful. He’s...he’s…A bit later, the king and queen were inside the carriage as the owner spun around in his chair, revealing himself. He was Rumpelstiltskin.
Rumpelstiltskin:
Rumpelstiltskin, at your service!Lightning flashed at the mention of his name. His pet goose, Fifi, honked a bit. The little man kissed the uneasy Lillian's hand in respect.
Rumpelstiltskin:
Mrs. Highness.She chuckled nervously a bit, pulling her hand away.
Queen Lillian:
How do you do?Fifi then hissed at Harold, startling him.
Rumpelstiltskin:
Down, Fifi. Get down!The goose did as her master said and went off to the side. Then the deal maker rolled out a contract he had for the royal couple to sign.
Rumpelstiltskin:
As you can see, everything’s in order.King Harold:
So you’ll put an end to our daughter’s curse?Rumpelstiltskin:
And, in return, you sign the kingdom of Far Far Away (gives a menacing look) over to me.Lightning flashed again, and King Harold gasped at what the short man said. Lightning flashed even when it showed Fifi. The royal couple turned as Harold spoke quietly to his wife, while Rumpelstiltskin just listened in, giving a fiendish smirk.
King Harold:
Lillian, this is madness!Queen Lillian:
What choice do we have? Fiona has been locked away in that tower far too long.Rumpelstiltskin:
It’s not like she’s getting any younger.King Harold:
But to sign over our entire kingdom?Rumpelstiltskin:
(pulls contract away) Well, if your kingdom’s worth more to you than your daughter…The king angrily stopped the paper.
King Harold:
Nothing is worth more to us than our daughter.Rumpelstiltskin:
I thought not.So Rumpelstiltskin slammed the windows shut and got out a drawer of jars of magic ink, slammed one jar down and clapped his hands.
Rumpelstiltskin:
Jump, Fifi, jump!The goose jumped in his arms and he yanked a feather out of her behind, making the king cringe in disgust. He then dipped the feather's end into the magic ink, with a small magic cloud appearing as Harold took the feather from him.
Rumpelstiltskin:
Just sign it and all your problems will disappear.Lightning flashed for dramatic effect once more, as he slid the contract towards them. Harold was about to sign it, while Rumpelstiltskin eagerly and anxiously waited. The king hesitated a bit as he looked at his wife, who nodded seriously. So Harold proceeded to sign it, but before he could, the carriage's door was burst open and the royal messenger was there, out of breath.
Messenger:
Your Highness! The Princess! She’s been saved!Harold and Lillian gasped happily, while Rumpelstiltskin was shocked.
Rumpelstiltskin:
Huh?!The king turned, giving a smirk as he ripped the contract up, to the deal maker's dismay.
Rumpelstiltskin:
(lip trembling) Who saved her?(End of Flashback)
In the present, the book was finsihed being read by the certain foiled deal maker, who was the one narrating. The next pages showed Shrek roaring, scaring away villagers, and then the helmeted Shrek carrying Fiona over his back while he and Donkey ran away from Dragon and the fire she breathed. Donkey's tail was even on fire.
Rumpelstiltskin:
No one would have guessed that an ogre named Shrek, whose roar was feared throughout the land, would save the beautiful Princess Fiona.He angrily turned the page, showing a picture of Shrek and Fiona (as an ogre) kissing and a separate picture of their babies.
Rumpelstiltskin:
(irate) True love’s kiss led to marriage and ogre babies!He ripped off the page of the babies, showing the page of good guys and villains (who were reformed thanks to Artie) holding hands together.
Rumpelstiltskin:
The kingdom of Far Far Away was finally at peace. (sarcastically) Goody for them!He ripped off that page as well, leaving the page with the ogre family in front of the swamp.
Rumpelstiltskin:
(furiously) AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY--He ripped off that page, leaving the page of Shrek with Donkey and Puss bumping fists.
