Shrek Forever After Page #15

He got out another weapon.

Fiona:
And we use that one to clean the thing we clean the toilets with.

Shrek:
I knew that.

He then got out an axe.

Fiona:
There you go, chief.

Then, to the ogre's surprise, the axe was part mace. He chuckled a bit, swinging it around before the axe part snapped off the chain and spun towards a witch dummy, landing smackdab in the head's center. He chuckled a bit again, impressed by the accidentally successful hit, but then when he leaned on the weapon bucket, he knocked it over. He tried picking it up, but he ended up knocking some witch dummies and more stuff over, yelping in the progress. The noises woke up Puss, who was sleeping on an upper ledge.

Fiona:
Hey, uh, Scott?

Shrek:
My name is Shrek, actually.

Fiona:
You’re going to get yourself killed at the ambush tonight.

Shrek:
(gets up) I’ll be fine. I think I can take care of myself.

Then, without warning, she threw a shield against him as a song began to play.

Fiona:
(smirks) Well, let’s see about that.

She then started to assault him with a huge hammer, which he used his shield to block. This was some type of training.

Shrek:
Hey!

Golden leaves looked brown to me

She continued trying to hit him as he blocked her with the shield.

Shrek:
Hey, hey! What the…?

The world had less color without you

He then spotted a spiky club lying on the ground. He took it used it to attack Fiona back, hitting her shield hard and sending her down. She blocked herself, and it appeared that she was whimpering, to Shrek's concern.

Shrek:
Fiona?

Of course, she was faking it as she got back up and smacked Shrek with her weapon.

Fiona:
Ha-ha!

Shapes in the sky look plain to my eyes

The two ogres then started attacking/blocking each other for a few moments, until Fiona kicked Shrek to the wall, hitting a dummy with a gourd for a head.

The world had less color without you

Shrek got back up and hit Fiona's shield with his axe, then Fiona hit Shrek with a big log, which he blocked with his shield. Then Shrek grabbed a huge mace to strike Fiona with, which she blocked. Shrek was enjoying this practice, but then his eyes widened upon seeing Fiona with a huge uprooted tree. She whacked Shrek, sending him down, and both ogres laughed.

Without you

Shrek got out and the next thing you know, both ogres started punching each other.

I know plenty of people with eyes closed

They kept on punching until Shrek stopped Fiona's fists, with the two breathing as they looked at each other. Puss was still watching and gave an amazed look at the chemistry between the ogres.

They don't see you like I do Darling I do

Then one of the bracelets fell off Shrek's wrist.

Fiona:
I got it.

She picked it up.

Fiona:
Give me your hand.

He gave her his hand and she started to retie it onto his wrist.

Fiona:
The dragon goes under the bridge, through the loop and finally...

Shrek:
Into the castle.

Fiona was surprised to find that Shrek knew the same tying rhyme as she did, and the two then gazed at each other.

I do Darling I do Darling I do

Puss:
Wow.

See you

Then Fiona shook the feeling out of her.

Fiona:
OK. Good. It seems like you can handle yourself.

Shrek:
But, Fiona--

Fiona:
Now go get ready for the mission!

Shrek:
I will, but Fiona…

Fiona:
That’s an order!

She headed off to get ready herself, and Shrek tried to speak out, but didn't know what to say, and looked down, for he had once again failed to get a kiss from her. So as all ogres began preparing all their weapons, Shrek just walked through the camp dejectedly.

Brogan:
All right, let's get those axes sharpened and weapons packed! Preparation is half the battle!

Then, Puss began running after the dejected ogre, breathing heavily.

Puss:
Ogre! Un momento! Un momento! (pants) Ogre, ogre, un momento! Just give me a minute.

Shrek:
Look, Puss, I'm a little pressed for time.

Puss:
I am not believing what I have just witnessed. Back there, you and Fiona. There was a spark, a spark inside her heart I thought was long extinguished. It was as if, for one moment, Fiona had actually found her true love!

Shrek:
I AM her true love. I ended her curse.

Hearing that surprised Puss.

Puss:
You know of her curse?

Shrek:
By day, one way, by night another.

(Flashback)

We see a flashback of Fiona, in her human form, in the tower, shedding some tears as the sun was going down. She then laid down, and in a flash, she magically transformed into her ogre form, as part of the spell, and she lay there sorrowfully.

Shrek's Voice:
This shall be the norm. Until you find true love's first kiss, and then take love's true form.

(End of Flashback)

Puss gasped, stunned at the words Shrek said.

Puss:
You even know the little rhyme! It is true! You are the one! You must prove it to her!

Shrek:
How?

Puss:
Convince her! Go to her when she is alone and tell her something that only her true love would know.

Then Donkey just popped up out of nowhere.

Donkey:
Know about what?!

The fat orange cat screeched from being startled, and hissed at the donkey.

Donkey:
Whoa! That's a whole lot of kitty! Shrek, can we keep him?

At Rumpelstiltskin's castle, the gate opened with some of the witches coming out, holding lanterns, followed by the carriage pulled by Fifi. At this time, Fiona was leading the ogres, all clad in armor, through the forest to be ready for the ambush. Shrek was trying to make his way through the ogre army though.

Shrek:
Excuse me. Coming through! Pardon me, guys! Watch your back.

Bringing up the rear, Puss, riding a small cart pulled by Donkey, spotted Cookie's chimichanga cart up ahead.

Puss:
Look, Donkey, the chimichanga cart! Quick! (bouncing on Donkey's back) Andale! After him, burro! Donkey, vmonos!

Donkey:
(annoyed) Man, you are a cat-astrophe!

Puss:
And you are ri-donkey-lous!

Then both shortly paused before they bursted out laughing, not helping but finding both their puns funny. Then once the army came to the edge of the forest, Fiona signaled them to stop.

Fiona:
I'll scout ahead. Wait for my signal.

She went up ahead, and the other ogres, except Shrek obviously, went to take positions to hide. Fiona saw a nearby hanging tree branch, grabbed it and swung over it, landing on a higher hill.

Brogan:
Secure your positions!

The ogres then climbed up some trees, and others donned disguises of bushes and rocks, taking their hiding positions. Fiona then came to the top of a slope where the carriage should be arriving. Shrek then appeared right beside her.

Shrek:
It's quite a view from up here.

Fiona:
What are you doing?! Get back in position!

Shrek:
You need to know, once and for all, who I really am.

Fiona:
You are going to ruin everything!

Shrek:
Ruin everything? Actually, I'm gonna fix everything: the ogres, Rumpel, your curse.

Her eyes widened in shock, before she pulled out her dagger and held it closely towards Shrek's chin.

Fiona:
How do you know about my curse?!

Shrek:
OK, OK, please, Fiona. Just hear me out. I can explain everything.
