Grace Meets Shrek

Chapter 9

They finally saw Duloc and Shrek said to Fiona said "there it is, princess, your future awaits you"

"That's Duloc?" Fiona asked

"Yeah, I know, you know Shrek thinks Lord Farquaad is compensating for something" Donkey said "which I think means he has a really-" then Shrek stomps his hove which made him fell

"I uh, I guess we better move on" Shrek said

"Sure.... but Shrek? " Fiona said and he stopped "I'm... I'm worried about Grace"

What?" Shrek said and Grace got confused

"I mean, look at her, she doesn't look so good..." Fiona said

"What you talking about? She's fine!" Donkey said

"Yeah I'm fine" Grace said

"Well, that's what they always say, and then, and then, and then next thing you know you're on your back!" Fiona said as she kneed down to her level and puts her hand on Grace's shoulder

Grace leers at Fiona

"...Dead!" Fiona said

"She's right you look awful" Shrek said "do you want to sit down?"

"You know, I'll make you some tea" Fiona said

"Well I was not going to say anything but my feet are sore from the walking" Grace said "and I think I have splinters"

"Who's hungry? I'll find us some dinner" Shrek said and he leaves

"I'll get the firewood" Fiona said and she leaves

A while later, Shrek, Fiona and Grace are having dinner on the last day of their journey

"Mmmm... This is good... mmm... this is really good... what is it?" Fiona said

"A weed rat, cooked rotisserie style!" Shrek said

"No kidding... Oh, this is delicious!" Fiona said

"Well, they're also great in stews. Now I don't mean to brag, but I make a MEAN weed rat stew!" Shrek said

They both look over at the kingdom of Duloc

"I guess I'll be dining a little differently tomorrow night..." Fiona said

"Maybe you can come visit me in the swamp sometime... I'll cook all kinds of stuff for you: swamp toad soup, fish-eye tartar, you name it!" Shrek said

"I think I'm gonna be sick" Grace said as she runs off and they chuckled

'I'd like that..." Fiona said

He sucks up a weed rat tail, and awkwardly laughs. She smiles back at him, and their eyes meet. Grace noticed it and of course she knows that they're falling in love

"Um... Princess?" Shrek asked

"Yes... Shrek?" Fiona said

"I... um... I was wondering... are you... um..." Shrek tries to say something

"C'mon Shrek spit it out" Grace said to herself

"Are you going to eat that?" Shrek said

"Ugh, what is wrong with you?" Grace frustrated

He makes a gesture of frustration when she isn't looking. She places the weed rat in his hand, and they lean towards each other then Donkey appeared between them "man isn't this romantic, just looka t that sunset"
