Shrek and Donkey travel to the castle and split up to find Fiona. Donkey encounters the dragon and sweet-talks the beast to save himself before discovering that the dragon is female. Dragon takes a liking to Donkey and carries him to her chambers. When Shrek finds Fiona, she is appalled at his lack of romanticism. As they are leaving, Shrek manages to save Donkey, caught in Dragon's tender clutches, and causing her to become irate, chasing Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey out of the castle. At first, Fiona is thrilled to be rescued but quickly becomes disappointed when she finds out that Shrek is an ogre. The three make their return journey to Farquaad's palace, with Shrek and Fiona finding they have more in common with each other along the way, and falling in love. However, at night, Fiona refuses to camp with them, taking shelter in a nearby cave until morning. Shrek and Donkey stay awake and watch the stars while Shrek informs Donkey that he plans to build a wall around his swamp when he returns. When Donkey persists as to why Shrek would do this, Shrek tells him that everyone judges him before they know him, therefore he is better off alone.

The next night, Fiona takes shelter in a nearby windmill. When Donkey hears strange noises coming from the windmill, he finds Fiona has turned into an ogress. Fiona explains she was cursed as a child and turns into an ogress every night, which is why she was locked away in the castle, and that only a kiss from her true love will return her to her proper form. Shrek, about to confess his feelings for Fiona, overhears part of their conversation, and is heartbroken as he misinterprets her disgust at her transformation into an "ugly beast" as being disgusted with him. Fiona makes Donkey promise not to tell Shrek about the spell, vowing to do it herself, but when the next morning comes, Shrek has brought Lord Farquaad to Fiona. The two return to the castle, while a hurt Shrek returns to the now-vacated swamp.

Shrek finds that despite his privacy, he is miserable and misses Fiona. Donkey comes to the swamp angry at Shrek, and Shrek reveals that he overheard their converstion. Donkey keeps his promise to Fiona and tells Shrek that she was talking about someone else. He then tells him that Fiona will be getting married shortly, urging Shrek into action to gain Fiona's true love. They are able to travel to Duloc quickly thanks to Dragon, who had escaped her confines and followed Donkey. They interrupt the wedding before Farquaad can kiss Fiona, but not before the sun sets, which causes Fiona to turn into an ogress in front of everyone. While her transformation causes Shrek to fully understand what he overheard at the windmill, Farquaad, disgusted over the change, orders Shrek killed and Fiona imprisoned, but Shrek whistles for Dragon, who bursts in and devours Farquaad. Shrek and Fiona admit their love for each other and share a kiss; Fiona is bathed in light as her curse is broken, but is surprised to find that she has remained an ogress. Shrek calms her by assuring her that she is still beautiful. The two of them get married in the swamp and depart on their honeymoon while the rest celebrate by singing "I'm a Believer".

Math homework and math quiz tomorrow... I hate Geometry so much. I can never remember which formula goes with finding the length of an inscribed "crust" or which formula goes with finding the area of an inscribed "crust". I get them both mixed up.

Poooooo.
 
Previous films and TV shows, such as Fractured Fairy Tales and The Princess Bride, have parodied the traditional fairy tale. However, Shrek itself has noticeably influenced the current generation of mainstream animated films. Particularly after Shrek 2, animated films began to incorporate more pop culture references and end-film musical numbers. Such elements can be seen in films like Ice Age 2, Robots, and Chicken Little. It also inspired a number of computer animated films which also spoofed fairy tales, or other related story genres, often including adult-oriented humor, most of which weren't nearly as successful as Shrek, such as Happily N'Ever After, Doogal, Igor, and Hoodwinked!.[12]
 
At first I was thinking, this is stupid.

All right, you win. You win. I give. I'll say it. I'll say it. I'll say it. DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME! DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME!

That part I think everyone was about to cry.

I've been obsessed with CSI: Miami lately.
I need to buy a season.

On the radio they said that the Yankees have their eye on 8 of the best players in baseball that aren't on the Yankees. The radio said they are planning on spending 15 million dollars on new players...
 
You just made a yummy sound.

Hahahaha.
We were cracking up as to why he say Yummy instead of "You made an mmmm sound".
 
The funny thing is, the closer it gets, the more it looks like a piano...
 
Of course it's not a poisonous snake. What would a poisonous snake be doing on a plane?

I wonder when they stary playing Christmas songs on the radio? Last year they started in early November. Could be any day now. I shall go look it up.
 
On my way home from church tonight, I saw the place that sells lights all lit up in Christmas lights and it's usual cool Christmas decorations. Love it! Christmas music should be starting any day now... Then before I know it, it'll be Thanksgiving... then Black Friday :D Which is when we decorate our house for Christmas! I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree. We always watch The Polar Express while we decorate. Then 25 Days of Christmas on ABC... and then Christmas break... and then Christmas Eve... and then Christmas!
 
This is a nice gigantic room inside a tiny locker you have here...
