While the royal ball begins, several of Shrek's friends band together to free the trio and create a gigantic, oversized Gingerbread Man, which breaks through the castle's defenses so Shrek can stop Charming from kissing Fiona. This exchange is overheard by Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, who are soon arrested by the royal guards and thrown into a dungeon. But Harold replies that it is not possible to make his daughter fall in love in this way as he doesn't want to violate his daughter's free will. To ensure Fiona falls in love with Charming, the Fairy Godmother gives Harold a love potion to put into Fiona's tea. They refuse and decide to that they will not be concerned with her feelings. At the Fairy Godmother's urging, Shrek leaves the castle, believing that the best way to make Fiona happy is to let her go.Īfter seeing that Fiona isn't falling in love with Prince Charming, Harold decides to tell the Fairy Godmother and Charming they should call off the plan. However, the Fairy Godmother, having learned of the potion's theft, intercepts Shrek and sends Charming to pose as him and win her love. He, Donkey, and Puss return to the castle to discover that the potion has also transformed Fiona back into her former, human self. In order to make the change permanent, Shrek must kiss Fiona by midnight. Shrek and Donkey both drink the potion and fall into a deep sleep, awakening the next morning to discover its effects: Shrek is now a handsome human while Donkey has turned into a stallion. The three sneak into the Fairy Godmother's potion factory and steal a "Happily Ever After" potion that Shrek believes will restore Fiona's love for him. However, Puss is unable to defeat Shrek and, revealing that he was paid by Harold, asks to come along as a way to make amends. Harold arranges for Shrek and Donkey to join him on a fictitious hunting trip, which really is a trap to lure the two into the hands of an assassin, Puss in Boots. They reprimand Harold for breaking an old promise that Charming would be able to marry Fiona, and demand that he find a way to get rid of Shrek. The two retell the Prince's adventures and how he overcame many obstacles and climbed a high tower in order to rescue her but in vain. As everyone goes their separate ways, Harold is accosted by the Fairy Godmother and her son Charming. When Fiona realizes that Shrek left she asks her father for help but he replies that he always wanted the best for her and that she should better think about what is the best for her, too. Shrek worries that he has lost his true love, particularly after finding her childhood diary and reading that she was once infatuated with Prince Charming. At a shared meal, Shrek and Harold get into a heated argument over how Shrek and Fiona will raise their family, and Fiona, disgusted by Shrek and Harold's behavior, locks herself away in her room that evening.

They all travel to the kingdom of Far Far Away and meet Fiona's parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian, with Harold particularly repulsed by Shrek being an ogre. Donkey appears, wanting to move in with them after a fall-out with Dragon, much to their consternation. Shrek is reluctant to participate in, reasoning that he is worried about how Fiona's parents would react to her new look.
