Shrek Forever After Page #6

Synopsis: Long-settled into married life and fully domesticated, Shrek (Mike Myers) begins to long for the days when he felt like a real ogre. Duped into signing a contract with devious Rumpelstiltskin, he finds himself in an alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin rules, and he and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) have never met. Shrek must find a way out of the contract to restore his world and reclaim his true love.

As Shrek started signing his name in big, bold, gold letters, the deal maker kept urging him to sign it. He was so tensed from this, that even his nasty toes with yellow toenails ripped out of his shoes and scraped the floor.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Go on, Shrek. Sign it, Shrek! Sign it!

During the tension, Fifi also honked a few times, but then, when Shrek wrote the last letter of his name, the tension stopped. Fifi stopped honking and Rumpelstiltskin was calm, but had a glow of excitement.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Oh. You signed it.

Shrek:
So, tell me. What happens now?

Rumpelstiltskin:
(mockingly) Have a nice day.

He then cackled villainously as he disappeared in a flash of yellow light. Then, to Shrek's shock, the pen disappeared and the whole carriage came apart like a house would in a tornado, and Shrek suddenly found himself caught in a glowing yellow cyclone, as the parts of the carriage disappeared. The ogre yelled in alarm as he was tossed all around through the air.

Shrek:
Whoooaaa! WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!!

Then the yellow background transformed back into the forest setting, only it was sunny and during the daytime. Shrek came falling from the sky and crash-landed hard on the ground, with a jingling sound heard upon his crash.

Shrek:
(groans) I think I fell on my keys.

Then the contract came floating gently down towards the ogre's feet. He picked it up, getting up, when suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

Tour Guide's Voice: There are 40 children in that shoe, which is why the weasel goes pop to this very day.

He looked and saw the Star Tours chariot coming his way, to his dismay.

Shrek:
Oh, great.

Tour Guide:
As we head over the river and through the woods, we come across…

Of course, one tourist on the upper deck saw Shrek and did not give a reaction of happiness. In fact, it was one of alarm.

Tourist:
(points) Ogre!

The group, not recognizing Shrek, saw him and all reacted with horror, and suddenly the driver lost control as the horses were scared that they ran, resulting in the chariot to crash into a tree. The tour guide and tourists all ran off the wrecked chariot, screaming and heading for the hills. Shrek was a bit surprised at first but then he realized that the magic of the contract had worked, and people fear him once again. He grinned as he kissed the piece of paper, before laughing. The song "Top of the World" by the Carpenters began to play as Shrek left the forest and went on his way to the nearest village.

He strode merrily towards the unsuspecting villagers.

Such a feeling's coming over me

When the villagers all saw him, they all ran away in separate directions, screaming, while he continued striding with glee, glad to be feared again.

There is wonder in most everything that I see

We then see a puppet show with one puppet attacking an ogre puppet with a prop stick, with all the kids watching encouraging the puppet to beat the ogre.

Kids:
Kill the ogre! Kill the ogre!

Not a cloud in the sky

Then, without warning, the puppeteer, who turned out to be Shrek, rose his head up from the puppet theater's window and roared, making the kids scream. Then his arms burst through the cardboard, roaring again. The kids all ran away with Shrek walking up to the seats like a usual ogre would and then chuckled.

Got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Somewhere else, a wedding was being held in a church. Inside, the priest gave the permission for the groom to kiss the bride.

Everything I want the world to be

The groom lifted the veil of his bride, who was actually Shrek (in drag), about to give a kiss. The groom and priest screamed in alarm. Then Shrek roared at everyone inside the church, making them all scream and leave the church.

Is now coming true, especially for me

Shrek, the only one left in the church, twirled around, holding the dress he was wearing.

And the reason is clear It's because you are near

Near a tree, a couple was about to have a picnic when Shrek, in normal garb, appeared hanging upside-down from a branch, roaring, scaring off the couple before he took the chicken leg and chomped it.

You're the nearest thing to heaven that I see

Next, we see Shrek scaring a cat, making it screech while jumping up. Then we see Shrek roaring at a mirror, breaking it. Shrek then got up behind four men gulping ale, letting out a roar, making them spit out their drinks. He then went to an old lady with a hearing horn.

Shrek:
(speaks into hearing aid quietly) Roar.

The deaf old lady's eyes widened in alarm. Next, at a melon cart, someone was about to grab a melon, but grabbed Shrek's head, as the ogre was hiding in the melon cart and he gave yet another roar. Then he went near a goose, roaring at it, causing the goose to plop out an egg in fear.

I'm on the top of the world Lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find

We then see Shrek happily being chased by an angry mob like the old days, laughing. He then grabbed a hanging shop's sign, swung over the bar, removing the sign and leaping onto a roof, surfing over it like a surfboard and in the process, the surfing removed the shingles. He even surfed onto another roof, swung around a weather vane, hopped onto another roof and surfed down that one as well.

Is the love that I found Ever since you've been around

He leaped off the roof, with the villagers angrily tossing their pitchforks in the air like javelins, while Shrek soared relaxingly, with the pitchforks missing him.

Your love's put me at the top of the world

The ogre then landed in a hay cart, breaking off a wheel in the process. He then leaped out of the hay to declare something to the villagers.

Shrek:
This is the part where you run away!

So the villagers all ran away in fear.

Is the love that I found Ever since you've been around

He then leaped off the cart like a diving board and splashed into a pigsty, startling some pigs upon the splash.

Your love's put me at the top of the world

He then lay back, doing a mud angel, laughing before sighing, glad to feel like an actual ogre once more.

Later, after Shrek got the mud cleaned off him, he went around the forest, and saw a Wanted poster for ogres and took it.

Shrek:
Sure is great to be wanted again. (sees another poster) Oh, nice one.

Then when he saw one more wanted poster, and there was something different about the others that made his smile disappear. It had the face of a familiar ogre. He went up closer to it, and saw that it was of Fiona, giving a fierce look.

Shrek:
Fiona?

He then saw more Wanted posters of Fiona on just about every tree, making him worried. He even saw a couple with axes and knives pinned at them. As he saw all the other posters, he began breathing harder.

Shrek:
Oh, no.

He then raced out of the forest to get to his home. He raced through a cornfield, breathing like mad, and when he came to the end of it, he saw what looked like the structure of his swamp home, except there were no doors or windows.
