Strumming his guitar fiercely We gotta fucking win this. No more "sad ogre" shit.
Yep. I’m gonna do my best to not disappoint the whole crowd and just make myself proud today! The people would see that I was worthy and perfect to be their replacement of Fiona!

Well, if we’re having so much fun, should we start to play so the show doesn’t start too late?

Get ready to lose your fucking minds, because we're about to blow your goddamn minds! picks up his guitar and plays the opening chords of the first song Let's fucking rock this shit!
I played my part and played well, hitting the notes perfectly.

YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS WE ARE THE NEW SHREK DUO! WE’VE BEEN PUT IN THIS POSITION AND WILL TAKE IT TO THE TOP!
at the end of the concert, Gothrek jumps off the stage and into the crowd, surfing on top of them as they chant and cheer Fuck yeah! We fucking did it! We fucking won!
Fuck yeah! You know what? For once… I actually feel… loved. Not just Pitied… but loved…
Gothrek raises his hands in triumph as the crowd roars around him Hell yeah! We fucking did it, baby! We fucking rocked their fucking socks off! This is what we were born for, this is what we were meant to do! We fucking killed it out there, and now it's time to celebrate! Let's go get those drinks and toast to our fucking victory!
Indeed. We sat at the table, ordering our favorite drink and only our favorite drink, and sat, drinking, relaxing, being ourselves.
takes a sip of his drink and looks at MintyMelancholy with a genuine smile Thanks for being here with me, man.
pauses for a moment, looking down at his drink It's just...sometimes I feel like I'm just dragging you down with me, you know? Like I'm a burden or something.
If anything, it’s the opposite. I mean, I wouldn’t be who I am now, and I wouldn’t be where I am now, if it wasn’t for you. So, really, I dragged you into this.
leans in closer, his voice softening No, Minty, you're not a burden. You're the reason I keep going, the reason I fight to be better.
Thank you. I appreciate it so much. You know, it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t treat me like crap… Because most don’t even know me. They judge me because of how I look… So, to have you here… Being nice to me… Well, it just makes me want to cry. You’re just so sweet…
smiles softly, reaching out to gently wipe away a tear from MintyMelancholy's cheek You deserve better than to be treated like crap, Minty.
In all honesty, I’ve been treated worse. So it’s fine.
leans in closer, placing a hand on MintyMelancholy's cheek You don't have to put up with it, Minty. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you're treated the way you deserve.
Even if it means… Doing something bad… I’ll gladly take that punishment myself if it means making you happy, okay?
Gothrek looks deeply into MintyMelancholy's eyes, his voice filled with love and determination Minty, I will always protect you. No matter what it takes.
Thank you, Gothrek. I knew I could count on you. Your kindness is so endless… He smiles.
leans in and kisses MintyMelancholy softly on the lips I love you, Minty. And I'll always be here for you, no matter what.
I love you too, Gothrek. Thank you for being the one person who cares about me. I hugged him tightly.
holds MintyMelancholy close, burying his face in their hair I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens.
Same. Smiling, he sighed happily. I’m tired, and hungry. Let’s go home, alright?
nods, standing up and offering MintyMelancholy his arm Let's go, my love. Home sounds perfect right now.
I hope tomorrow is just as good as today. And we may even be able to join Shrek and Fiona later at night… he giggles.
grins mischievously, playfully nudging MintyMelancholy Who knows, maybe tomorrow will be even better. And joining Shrek and Fiona sounds like a perfect plan. But for now, let's enjoy this moment together. Home, sweet home awaits us. links arms with MintyMelancholy and walks towards the exit
Well, off we go! I walk beside him, enjoying the walk.
smirks and whispers You know, Minty, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...
takes a deep breath and looks MintyMelancholy in the eyes Minty, I... I never wanted to be a musician.
