Queen Fiona of Far Far Away

“This kingdom needs a new king,” croaked Harold, “You and Fiona are next in line for the throne.”

”Come on, Dad!” Shrek said, “An ogre as King? There has to be someone else. Anyone!”

“Well,” Harold explained, “Fiona IS heir by blood, but she is a princess. Far Far Away is usually ruled by a King.”

”At least give her a chance,” pleaded Shrek.

”Oh, OK,” croaked Harold, “Fiona can be the heir. I know you’ll do what riiiiiight….”

Harold became still.

”The Frog King is dead.” proclaimed Puss, taking his hat off in respect.

The funeral was held the next day. All within Far Far Away attended. Queen Lillian put her husband’s deathbed on a lily pad and let it gently float away as Harold’s frog family sing “Live and Let Die.” There was a stall selling books of Harold’s life story, which everyone bought to learn more about the late King.

Meanwhile Prince Charming was watching. He knew that Fiona had been proclaimed the sole heir to the throne and knew he had to take a stand. He rode to the Poison Apple, where the villains were. Everyone looked at him when he went to order a Fuzzy Navel and tried to attack him, but he rallied them when he exploited their circumstances.

Fiona was unsure of becoming Queen, but when she was asleep the next night, a fairy came to her in the middle of the night, who introduced herself as Othello, and explained she was the Princess and Queen of a neighbouring kingdom who was overthrown because of her magic and unless Fiona stood up for what she believed in, she would meet a similar fate.

The next day, it was Fiona’s baby shower. Her princess friends and Doris were there. Fiona received numerous presents, including a nanny dwarf from Snow White. Just then, Charming and the villains invaded Far Far Away. Fiona rallied the Princesses into a secret passage. Charming was sure that HE was next in line for the throne and that Queens could not rule, so he was plotting to have Fiona removed from the throne.

Fiona remembered what Othello had told her and decided to lead the other princesses into rebellion against Charming. Unfortunately, Rapunzel was revealed to be on Charming’s side and the Princesses and former Queen was locked in jail.

”If we were doing what we were supposed to do, we wouldn’t be in this mess!” complained Snow White, “I mean, who cared who’s running the kingdom anyway?”

“Huh,” defied Fiona, “I care.”

”And you should all care too,” said Lillian.

Fiona then rallied the princesses to rescue themselves rather than waiting for someone to rescue them, which they did, and the fought off the villains, but then, Charming captured Fiona and tried to use her as the villainous ogre in his play.

Everything was going according to plan, but Fiona kept making jokes about Charming onstage. But then, Shrek, the princesses and fairytale characters came into action. Othello came as well and reminded Fiona that she is the Queen now and she must take a stand. She also told the villains that they need to rise above what people think of them, which the villains listened to and redeemed. Charming tried to kill Othello, but Fiona stopped him and Charming aimed his sword at Fiona and she fell to the floor.

”A new era has come,” said Charming. “Now, all of you, bow before your King!”

Suddenly , Fiona came back to her feet. Charming hadn’t killed her after all.

”Queens aren’t capable of ruling!” spat Charming.

”Well then, I don’t know what world you’re living in, because I’m most certainly capable of ruling,” declared Fiona.

Othello then turned Charming into a shrimp, which Shrek put in a glass jar. Fiona picked the crown up.

”It’s yours if you want it, you know,” Shrek told her, “But this time it’s your choice.”

Fiona rose the crown in the air and put it on her head. Everyone cheered.

“Fi-ona! Fi-ona! Fi-ona!” they chanted.

So it all worked out, Fiona was Queen, Shrek got to live in a swamp in Far Far Away, the princesses are much more independent and Othello was now the kingdom’s new fairy godmother.

The End.
