Shrek Forever After Page #8

Muffin Man:
We start tout de suite!

Gingy sprung up, but now he had battle scars on his face, chest, and arms, and was decorated with battle gear and a kilt like a Braveheart character, and he held up a big lollipop as his weapon.

Gingy:
Yeah!

He gave a battle cry, leaping down onto the small arena while breaking his lollipop to give it sharp edges.

Shrek:
(confused) Gingy?

Then out of three boxes came an assortment of sentient animal crackers charging at the gingerbread man, but because he now had a fierce personality, he shouted as he dodged each animal and used his lollipop to take down his opponents. He even used it to turn and decapitate some of the animal crackers.

Gingy:
Gingy snap!

The spectators laughed, enjoying this sport. One of the certain dwarfs, who was one of the spectators, saw the cage pulling Shrek.

Dwarf:
(points at it) There’s one! Disgusting, filthy ogre!

All the villagers gathered around with nasty scowls, shouting and jeering at the ogre prisoner.

Villagers:
(randomly) Hideous monster! Filthy, filthy creature! Disgusting creature!

One villager chucked an overripe tomato at Shrek's face, with Shrek wiping it off. The villagers continued shouting nasty remarks towards Shrek as the cage pulled onward. One villager even chucked a glass bottle at the cage.

The witches, Shrek and Donkey soon made it to the castle, which was now guarded by witches about every nook and cranny, and there was a shield with an "R" on the front of the gates, which went up. As they went inside, Shrek was in horror to see how different the castle grounds looked, and he passed something he definitely hadn't seen before: two ogres pushing the gear that controls the gates. The two ogres were miserable because they were being forced to by another witch with a whip.

Slavery Witch:
Move it!

She whipped one of the ogres as she cackled evilly.

The gate then closed as the carriage headed to the main hall and stopped right at the door. Once there, the cage's door was opened, Shrek was let out but placed in hand-cuffs and shackles around his neck, which were connected to sticks held by four more witches, as they lead the prisoner to the doors.

Shrek:
(quietly) Don’t worry, Donkey. I’ll get us our lives back.

Donkey:
Yeah, right. Put a little mustard on mine, Captain Crazy!

The witches laughed heartlessly while pushing the doors open, and inside the huge room was a rave party going on with the whole room infested with witches, dancing and celebrating, with loud rave music playing. They saw the witches leading the imprisoned ogre through the room as they moved aside. Shrek glanced at his surroundings, and saw the Three Little Pigs in servant clothes feeding Fifi some ham. She pecked at it a bit, before scarfing it all down. He glanced at another corner with a witch band playing the rave music with a pumpkin drum, a broomstick bass, a skull xylophone which made synthisizer music, and a huge brewing cauldron. As the rest of the witches continued dancing and shouting with glee, the witches that held Shrek prisoner kept leading Shrek across the ballroom. At this time, at a small corner lined with red VIP ropes in front, a certain deal maker was in a couch-styled throne (with the ruler's seat being in the middle), wearing fancy white clothes, laughing and having drinks with four more witches. Then another witch called out.

Witch:
Mr. Stiltskin? You got another customer.

He took a sip from a cocktail drink, glancing at the customer with a wide smirk. The customer was Pinocchio, who was being ushered through the VIP line by the witch. He turned to Wolf, now dressed as a maid, next to a cart full of different wigs.

Rumpelstiltskin:
(snaps fingers) Wolfie!

Wolf:
(dryly) Yes, Mr. Stiltskin.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Bring me my business wig.

Pinocchio:
(pleading) Mr. Stiltskin, please!

Rumpelstiltskin:
(cutting him off) Abupupup!

The miserable wolf placed a Victorian styled white powdered wig over the short man.

Rumpelstiltskin:
(signals) OK, go.

Pinocchio:
Please make me a real boy!

Rumpelstiltskin got out a rolled up contract and smacked the wolf away.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Go away! (to Pinocchio) Terms are in the details, balsa boy.

He rolled out the contract, and pushed it, a quill and an ink jar towards the puppet, who was eagerly ready to sign.

Pinocchio:
Sayonara, termites! Hello, acne!

The short man laughed as the puppet started signing.

Shrek:
(yells out) Stiltskin!

Then all the music, dancing and talking stopped as all the witches turned towards the ogre. The deal maker was excited as he stood up on his desk.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Shrek! There he is!

As he walked across the desk, he unknowingly knocked over the ink jar, spilling ink over the spot where Pinocchio signed half his name in cursive.

Pinocchio:
So close!

The puppet's arm was grabbed by one of the witches and dragged away from the table, without Rumpelstiltskin caring to notice.

Rumpelstiltskin:
(extending out his arms) Have I been waiting for you!

He hopped from the table and announced to all the witches.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Ladies, this is the guy that made all of this possible!

They all cheered wildly. Then the deal maker climbed up towards Shrek's ear, pulling on it and speaking into it.

Rumpelstiltskin:
So, tell me, how are you enjoying your day?

Shrek:
All right, Rumpel, what’s going on? What have you done?

He hopped off.

Rumpelstiltskin:
No, Shrek, it’s not what I’ve done. It’s what you’ve done. (skips to his table and sits on it) Thanks to you, the King and Queen signed their kingdom over to me.

Shrek:
(rolls eyes) They would never do that.

Rumpelstiltskin:
They would if I promised them all their problems would disappear.

(Flashback)

We see the same moment of Fiona's parents visiting the deal maker to sign a contract to save their daughter, but this time, it has a different ending. They signed their names, and then suddenly the king and queen began turning gold, to their alarm and horror.

Rumpelstiltskin's Voice: And then THEY disappeared!

Queen Lillian:
No!

King Harold:
No!

They then started to fade away.

Both:
Noooooooo!

The king and queen exploded into gold dust, leaving only their crowns which dropped onto the table. The evil deal maker then took Harold's crown.

(End of Flashback)

Rumpelstiltskin held out the deceased king's crown, as Shrek realized he had tricked the king and queen into signing the kingdom and their lives over. Rumpelstiltskin spun the crown around as he sighed.

Rumpelstiltskin:
They would have done anything if they thought it would end their daughter’s curse.

Shrek:
I ended Fiona’s curse!

Rumpelstiltskin:
How could you when you never existed?

He kicked the crown away.

Shrek:
You better start making sense, you dirty little man!

Rumpelstiltskin:
(pulls out contract from Shrek's vest) Here, let me spell it out for you! (points to fine print) You gave me a day from your past, a day you couldn’t even remember. A day when you were an innocent, mindless little baby.
