Ogres Have Feelings Too

A/N This was something I came up with because I was feeling a little down and watching Shrek as well and the idea came to me but in this, Shrek is feeling down because of the way people treat him because he's an ogre even though hunters don't attack anymore but he decides to escape to Earth where his two best human friends who're also his biggest fans want to help him feel good about himself and open up.

I know I had a story with the same name but I deleted that one.

It's about friends helping friends to feel better as well as being confident.

It's a little angsty but gets happier as the fic goes on.

It was a rainy day in Duloc as Fiona sighed seeing that her her husband was very quiet as she knew that something bothered him as he was feeling down about being an ogre but didn't understand why as she loved being one but hadn't faced much persecution like he had.

She wondered why he was sad but he remembered that last week Artie had snapped at him because he was so stressed and it had hurt him in the heart.

"Honey it's okay.

You know Artie didn't mean it.

Sometimes we all get stressed." she reassured him.

He nodded as he went to take an nap.....

Snowgre wondered what bothered his cousin as he'd overheard Shrek and Fiona's little talk but knew his cousin was feeling sad and needed help to feel better about himself but had an idea as he knew two people in Earth that could help him to fel better as he looked at a photo of Shrek with two female humans.

One had semi long hair with black glasses and slender wearing a kinono.

The other one had long chestnut brown hair with hazel eyes as the half yeti and ogre teen smiled knowing they were his cousin's best friends and biggest fans as an idea grew in his head.

He waited until Shrek was awake to pitch his idea to him.

He also knew the triplets were pre teens and were a little ashamed to be around their father as he understood that added to Shrek's worry.

He then saw Shrek wake up as the teen entered his and Fiona's room but he was surprised to see Snowgre.

"I noticed you were down and I had a great idea on how to cheer you up.

You need a vacation.

I know the very place you can do it, a little place called Earth." he said smiling.

The elder ogre smiled sadly.

"Okay but I'll take the fall with Fiona for you." Shrek said.

Snowgre smiled as he began to cast a spell as he watched his cousin vanish.......

He hoped their human friends could help them.........

But in the realm known as Earth, in a town called Calvert County, a young twenty year old girl was riding her bike as the wind blew through her long chestnut brown hair as she was thinking about the past adventures she and her best friend had in Duloc with Shrek and the others but recently their hearts had been yearning to go back.

They loved it there and hoped that things were peaceful there in Far, Far Away but stopped as she heard moaning as it came from a clearing but she smiled seeing it was Shrek but wondered what he was doing here alone but was hurt as she put him over her shoulder as she walked home as well as carrying the bike with her as they reached her home as she'd gotten a place of her own from being a successful web designer and made very popular role playing games that people loved playing that were based on the adventures she and her friend had in Duloc but loved that people didn't know that part.

She put him in the guest room after getting him into the house but saw there were injuries over him as she went to get a first aid kit to clean up his wounds but she had a feeling humans had been bothering him but happy to see him again as she'd been hoping and wishing for his return after moving out of her parent's home after earning lots of money.

She then made Japanese tea for him as it would help him relax.

She then heard the front door close as she knew who had entered the house as it was her best friend Carley who had moved in with her and she was a famous novelist writing novels about her kingdom Aria but still attended college and took writing and Music classes but was a little shy and needed a little more help to come out of her introverted shell.

The twenty two year old wondered what was making Leah happy as she went to take an nap as she was tired but the hazel eyed girl smiled as she headed to the guest room as she heard her ogre friend begin to wake up.

His hazel eyes opened as she opened the door but his vision was a little blurry but cleared but was happy to see her after all this time as she saw him grit his teeth in agony as she understood how he felt.

"Don't worry I've got something to help with that.

What brings you back after these many years?" she asked him.

The male ogre knew how much she and Carley cared about him like true friends do for each other.

"I-I was depressed and Snowg helped me get here." he simply said.

She understood that he was a little sad but she knew she and Carley could help him feel better.

"How did you get hurt like this?" she asked.

"People in the forest." he answered as she understood.

He growled in immense pain as idione hit some of the wounds on his back.

"How have you guys been since we were last in Duloc?" he asked her.

She smiled at that knowing he would ask that sooner or later.

"Well after finishing college, I became a web designer creating my own site for writing but also created role playing games about our adventures in Duloc.

That's how I got this place but a dear friend of ours moved in with me." she told him.

He smiled knowing who it was.

"It was Carley right?" he said.

She nodded in reply.

"Yes.

She became an novelist and her novels got published which means she now shares Aria with the kids of this world and she gets money from it but she also is a songwriter and writes good songs.

But she still finds it hard to come out of her shell.

Thinking of you is what helps her out." she answered.

He understood as he felt pain but was being numbed by painkillers.

She smiled seeing him fall asleep as she heard Carley come out of the bath.

She then went downstairs.......
