Shrek Forever After Page #20

Rumpelstiltskin:
Foo!

With that, he leaped off backwards, to the ogres' shock. Then they were surprised further to see the short foe riding on Fifi, who was flying upwards so they could make their escape.

Rumpelstiltskin:
So long!

He laughed tauntingly as Fifi headed for the skylight, as dawn was approaching, but then a skull chain had snagged Fifi's leg, and Shrek was the one who was holding the chain.

Shrek:
Ha ha ha!

Fiona and Shrek grabbed hold of each other.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Come on, Fifi, go! Go!

Fifi tried to keep flying, pulling Shrek and Fiona out of the dungeon.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Witches, close up the floor!

The floor began closing up, but Shrek and Fiona were pulled out just in time. Fifi tried to keep flying even though it was harder with the chain around her leg.

Rumpelstiltskin:
(fussing) Come on, Fifi, go! Flappity flap! Come on, go! Fly away! Up, up! Go!

The smirking Shrek pulled the chain, causing Rumpelstiltskin to loose his grip on his goose, as he was sent falling and screaming.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Fifi, no!

His fall was stopped when a glaring Fiona caught him, making him give a scared sound. Fiona then held up the short man like a trophy.

Fiona:
Victory is ours!

All the ogres shouted and cheered in triumph, while raising their weapons. Donkey then started tapping his hooves with Puss doing a little victory tap dance, until at the end when the top of his boots began to split, to the fat cat's embarassment. Cookie then carried off the worried and defeated villain in his arm, as he and Brogan gave smirks towards him.

Brogan:
Looks like we're having curly-toed weirdo for breakfast.

When all was settled, Fiona and Shrek looked to each other.

Fiona:
Hey, we make a pretty good team.

Shrek:
You have no idea.

The two then looked at each other, staying silent for a moment, but then Shrek noticed something serious. His hand was started to give a bright yellow glow, making him gasp. He saw that morning was starting to happen, so that meant he was beginning to fade away. His legs also started glowing as he fell down.

Fiona:
Shrek?

She held him up. They saw the magic hourglass of Shrek's life was almost out of sand, to Rumpelstiltskin's delight.

Rumpelstiltskin:
His day is up. His day is...!

But Cookie squeezed him, making the villain gag.

Fiona:
Shrek?

Shrek:
It's all right.

The ogres, Donkey and Puss watched on sadly.

Fiona:
There has to be something I can do.

Shrek:
You've already done everything for me, Fiona. You gave me a home and a family.

Fiona:
You have kids?

Shrek:
We have kids. Fergus, Farkle and a little girl named...

Both:
Felicia.

Fiona:
I always wanted to have a daughter named Felicia.

Shrek:
And someday...

The fading ogre then dug in his pocket and pulled out the squeaky toy belonging to their daughter.

Shrek:
...you will.

He handed it to her, and she looked at it sadly, before looking back towards him.

Shrek:
You know what the best part of today was? I got the chance to fall in love with you all over again.

Tears began to form from Fiona's eyes as she leaned her head towards Shrek's face. The hour glass emptied and the light began to glow brightly all around Shrek's body as Fiona kissed him deeply, and then Shrek began to fade away into nothing but sparkles of golden dust that also began to fade away as Fiona held him. It seemed Shrek was no more. Then the sun rising behind Fiona began to shine brightly, illuminating the whole room as she sat there on her knees with tears running down her face, which was still green, to Puss's notice.

Puss:
Fiona, the sunrise! You're still...an ogre!

Fiona:
True love's form.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Impossible!

Fiona:
The kiss worked.

Suddenly the wind began blasting and brushing by everyone, also knocking Puss's hat off his head. Everyone looked up and saw the magic golden light that brought Shrek here begin to eat away at Rumpelstiltskin's castle like mad. All bricks, shingles and other material of the castle were sucked away in a magical tornado.

Rumpelstiltskin:
What?!

Then, one by one, each witch and ogre began to puff away into puffs of yellow smoke. Cookie and Brogan quickly vanished, dropping Rumpelstiltskin, and he then saw Fifi vanish in a puff of smoke as well.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Fifi!

Then Donkey and Puss were the next to vanish.

Fiona:
Puss!

Then Fiona vanished next. The horrified Rumpelstiltskin, the only one remaining, twisted in circles in place while shouting in alarm as his whole world around him was tearing away and disappearing.

Rumpelstiltskin:
No, no, no! No, not yet! I'm not ready! No, wait!

Then the floor under him, the only thing remaining, crackled away and he began falling down into an abyss of pure golden light while screaming out loud in horror, before everything went black for him.

The world changed back to a different world where Shrek was giving his big, loud ogre roar from before.

Shrek:
RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!

Once he was done, he panted and saw where he was. He was back in his own original world and at his kids' birthday party, as if he never left it. It was as if the magic of true love's kiss reversed everything to the event where he roared. He saw that everyone else in the Candy Apple was left stunned and silent for a bit until they all cheered.

Butterpants:
(chuckles as he hugs his dad) I love you, daddy.

As everyone began chanting Shrek's name, the ogre began to smile, happy to have his life back, and everyone he knew back to normal.

Everyone:
Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!

Gingy saw one of the Three Blind Mice facing the other way so he turned the mouse around correctly.

Wolf then slapped a party hat onto Shrek's head.

Puss:
Everybody, I have found...

He lifted his cape to reveal another cake decorated like the last one.

Puss:
(finishes) another cake!

Fiona:
Shrek? Are you OK?

He turned to see Fiona, the way she was before signing his life away. He removed the party hat and went up to hug his wife.

Shrek:
Fiona. I've never been better.

Fiona smiled warmly, and the parents then heard their kids playfully roaring.

Fergus:
Roar!

All triplets began roaring and giggling. Shrek was even happy to see his kids existing as he went to them.

Shrek:
(rubs Farkle's head) Happy Birthday, Farkle. Fergus, my little man! And Felicia, sweetheart.

His baby daughter looked at him with big, happy, blue eyes. He then reached his pocket and handed her the squeaky ogre plush toy he magically came back into this world with.

Shrek:
I believe this is yours.

She hugged the toy tightly.

Felicia:
Thank you, Daddy.

Shrek:
(picking up his kids and holding them) Awww.

Donkey:
Hey, Uncle Shrek! How about giving my babies an encore!

Puss:
Please, senior, let us have it!

The others insisted eagerly. However, instead of a roar, Shrek held his nose and blew a toot threw his ears. Then, all three of his babies held their noses and blew smaller toots through their ears. As their friends applauded and Puss waved a little yellow flag, Fiona was astounded.
