It had been a week since the fight against Fairy Godmother, and King Harold decided to have a family trip with Shrek and Fiona. Seth said he knew the perfect place, and decided to be the guide. However, there was a bit of an argument, and they were lost right now.

"I told you, we should've turned left at Albuquerque," said Seth.

"No, it was right at the Dead Castle," said Shrek.

"Why is this place so far away?" asked King Harold.

"Because your kingdom is far away," retorted Puss, who stowed away.

"Gentlemen, please," said Queen Lilian, "Just stop and get along."

Everyone turned to see the Queen and Fiona were crying a bit.

"Is... everything alright?" asked King Harold.

"Yes," said Fiona, sniffing, "It's the carriage. It's one big Onion."

"Oh, I see," said Seth. He hovered over to the carriage, and opened it up for the two.

"Ah, much better," said Fiona.

"Okay, we're just gonna take a quick look at the map," said Seth, "And I'll show them that-"

"Hey! Seth!" said Shrek, "I found a shortcut!"

Seth and King Harold looked down the trail Shrek found, and it was dark, the trees had no leaves, and red lights from holes made them look like they are alive.

"Are you crazy!?!" exclaimed Seth, as a spider appeared.

"JUMPIN' JIMONY!!" said Shrek, "That's a big one."

Shrek held the spider in front of Seth, who blasted fire at it.

"Hey man!! I do NOT like-"

A bunch of spiders appeared, and fell to the ground.

"SPIDERS!!!" Seth jumped up like a cat onto Shrek's head.

Shrek laughed, "For a dragon, you are too easy to scare. Come on."

"That forest is not one to go down boss," said Puss, "Not many people come back out once going in."

"Oh come on," said Shrek, "I'm an Ogre. I'm the one that does the scaring! What could possibly be in there to be scared of?"

Just then, lighting struck, and showed the silhouette of a man on a horse.

"THAT!!" said Seth, as the horse jumped over the the men, and towards the carriage.

"THELONIOUS!!" cried Shrek.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" asked Fiona.

"Sorry Princess," said Thelonious with rope, "Family trip's over!"

Fiona went for a karate kick, only for Thelonious to use a trinket to freeze time, and tie Fiona's hands together as he sat her on his horse.

"HEY!! LET GO!!"

"FIONA!!" cried Shrek.

"SHREK!! DAD!!"

"FIONA!!" cried King Harold.

"LET ME GO!!" cried Fiona.

Shrek turned to the others, saying, "TO THE CARRIAGE!!"

Everyone jumped in, as Seth took the reigns, asking, "You wanna quick monologue, or you wanna cut to the chase?"

"Cut to the chase Seth, just cut, TO THE CHASE!!"

"HIT IT BOYS!!"

The group was soon heading down the road, and caught up with Thelonious.
