A/N: Hey, guys. In the previous chapter, we looked at the story from Dopey's point of view. Over the months, he was haunted by nightmares about the Evil Queen, which traumatized him to the point of making him lose the will to sleep and get scared every time he closes his eyes. In this chapter, we will look at the ending of the story. Before starting, today as I write this chapter, I would like to wish a happy birthday to Bill Farmer, the voice actor of Goofy, Pluto, Horace Horsecollar, Sleepy, and, in other media, Doc and Sir Yipsalot from The 7D, Sylvester Cat, Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn (the latter from 1996 to 2002) of Looney Tunes in Space Jam, who turns 68 today! End of the premise, let's get started!


(''16 Melodies (Beginnning) - Mother 3 OST'')

That spring morning, the seven dwarfs and the animals went to put flowers around Snow White's coffin. Although she had been dead for several months, she hadn't changed at all: her rosy cheeks hadn't lost their color, as had her snow-white skin, her lips as red as the rose, and her hair as black as ebony. However, it did not improve anyone's emotional state, as seeing her like this created the illusion of her survival, and it had been so long that they almost had the count, but according to Bashful's diary, many months had passed, almost a year, to be precise.

''Look at her, it looks like she was just sleeping... '' Sleepy murmured.

Doc nodded. ''It's true. Normally, after several months, her body should be in an advanced state of decomposition, but nothing has changed.'' he said, as he and Happy, located on the left and right respectively, opened the coffin.

Aeolus noticed that Grumpy had not yet placed his flowers. ''Grumpy?'' he asked.

''Yeah. Hold on a sec.'' Grumpy replied, with tears streaming down his face. His movements were slower and more hesitant compared to his brothers, who had already placed their bouquets. With a deep breath, he put his flowers, and to everyone's surprise, he placed them in Snow White's hands. It was another gesture that indicated how much he loved her, which he no longer hesitated to admit that, and was also more open about how much he cared about his brothers.

''Oh, it hurts my heart...'' whimpered Bashful.

All the dwarfs knelt before her coffin, crying silently. Dopey was on the left side, between Doc and Sleepy, while on the right side, Bashful was positioned between Happy and Sneezy and Grumpy was in the center, next to Sneezy with the animals a short distance from them. Bashful noticed that some animals that were not there before, some splendid doves, a symbol of peace, and their snow-white plumage reminded him a lot of Snow White because of her purity of heart. One of them leaned on his shoulder, and six others did the same with the other dwarfs.


A few minutes later, a male voice was heard singing a song. The dwarves turned and saw a white horse along the path behind them. On the horse, there was a young prince, who, judging from his physical appearance, appeared to be about sixteen, at most eighteen, and his blue and white clothes matched perfectly with his red cloak. ''I arrived too late...'' he murmured, as he approached the dwarfs, who stood up.

''You are the prince, aren't you?'' Happy asked.

''Yes. I'm Prince Florian(1), and I'm from the neighboring kingdom. This is my mare, Astor.'' replied the young man.

''Pleased to meet you. We are the seven dwarfs. My name is Doc, and these are my brothers, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful and Dopey.'' said Doc.

''You know, Snow White told us about you.'' Bashful said.

''Really?'' Florian asked.

''Yes, sometimes we heard her sing about it.'' replied Sleepy.

''Exactly when did you meet her?'' asked Sneezy.

Florian considered this question. ''It's a long story. We met by chance a few months ago, when she was working as a scullery maid for her stepmother, Queen Grimhilde, and she was at the well. I heard her sing, and then we fell in love with each other. I haven't seen her since, but the Queen is stealthily watching us and was jealous of her. He wanted to kill her. '' He explained.

The seven dwarfs were shocked. ''What?! Why?!'' exclaimed Doc.

''Because she was envious of her beauty. She feared her stepdaughter's beauty would outweigh her own, and she wanted to remain the fairest in the realm. For this reason, she sent a hunter to take her to the woods, kill her and carry her heart in a box as evidence, but he didn't have the heart to do it, he spared her life and told her to run away, then he tricked the Queen by killing an animal and closing its heart in the box. '' replied the young prince.

Happy clenched his fists, with great anger at the Queen for what she intended to do to her own stepdaughter. ''That woman is a monster!'' he snapped.

''This is a new low, even for her! Only a being heartless and soulless being would ever make such a cruel act!'' shouted Bashful, just as angry.

''If that witch had survived, we would have killed her with our own hands!'' Grumpy yelled, his hands clenched into fists so hard that his knuckles whitened and crunched.

''Did something else happen?'' Sleepy asked.

''Upon returning, the hunter informed us of the Queen's plot, and the people were outraged, initiating a protest against her, with the hunter in the ranks. However, the protests were suppressed in blood, with several deaths and dozens of prisoners. She had also discovered the love between me and Snow White and locked me up in prison before working on a potion to transform and become unrecognizable and then prepare a poisoned apple capable of causing anyone who bites it to fall into Sleeping Death(2). I only managed to escape later on, and I found some panicking animals, but I couldn't understand them. I then heard of a girl who was lying in a coffin of glass and gold, and I kept looking for Snow White, wondering if she was really in that coffin.'' Florian replied.

''The Sleeping Death? I searched all the books I could about antidotes and poisons, but there was nothing about it, and not even poison apples.'' said Doc.

''It's because no cure has been found. It is only known that the Sleeping Death is a curse that causes one to fall into a state of coma induced by a poison, making the victim appear dead.'' explained the prince.

''Snow White has only been with us for a couple of weeks, but for us, it seems that we have known her for much longer. She has done a lot for us, and we are grateful to her for that. When the Queen arrived at our house, we were in the mine, and the animals went to us in panic. They made us understand that Snow White was in danger, so we went to rescue her and I led my brothers, but we didn't arrive in time to save her. I bitterly regret about never admitting my true feelings towards others.'' Grumpy said sadly, with his hat in his hands.

''I don't know how anyone could ever commit a sin like killing a girl as pure as her.'' Bashful murmured between sobs.

''I know. And I can't believe that after months of looking for her, I find her dead. Now that I've found her, I'd like to say goodbye to her one last time.'' Florian said.

''Go ahead.'' Grumpy consented.

(''Main Theme- Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War OST'')

The young man approached the open coffin. He had spent months looking for that girl he had met, only to find her lifeless, a thought that saddened him greatly. He gently kissed her lips as a final farewell and knelt down.

After a few seconds, Bashful heard barely audible moans and opened his eyes, seeing that Snow White was moving and slowly opening her eyes. Full of joy, he shook Sneezy's shoulder to get his attention. ''Sneezy! Everyone, open your eyes! Snow White is waking up!'' he yelled.

After Bashful, Sneezy was the second to notice the awakening of the young princess, followed by Doc, then Grumpy, then Sleepy, then Happy and finally Dopey, followed by all the animals. ''Do you see what I see too?'' the shy dwarf asked.

''Yes! I can't believe it!'' cried Doc.

''It's a miracle!'' Grumpy exclaimed

''HOORAY! SHE'S ALIVE!'' Happy screamed.

''This is the best day of my life!'' cried Bashful.

When Snow White came out the coffin, now alive and well, sitting on the ground, shouts of joy were heard, and the dwarves immediately ran to embrace her, followed also by the animals. ''Doc? Happy? You're all here?''

''We thought we had lost you forever!'' cried Sneezy.

The young princess was confused. ''Did I miss something?'' she asked.

''Of course you missed a lot of things!'' Grumpy replied.

As Snow White talked to the Prince, the dwarves could barely hear their voices, covered in their shouts of joy as they leapt, hugged each other, tossed their hats, danced and celebrated. Grumpy, full of a strong joy never felt before, gave Doc a strong hug, and even Sleepy went wild, jumping and somersaulting, and Happy also began to play his guitar. ''HEIGH-HO!'' they screamed, while the animals celebrated with them.

Shortly thereafter, Florian put Snow White on his mare. ''Apparently, love's first kiss is enough to break the curse of the Sleeping Death. We have decided to get married, I will take her to my castle. If you want to say goodbye to her, go ahead. '' He said.

''I'll start!'' Bashful exclaimed, taking off his hat, and the young man lifted him so that he could be on the same level as Snow White.

''Bashful! Is it really you?'' asked the princess.

''Yes. You have no idea what we've been through, or the heartbreack we felt. We thought we had lost you forever.'' murmured the dwarf, with tears in his eyes. ''Ever since we found you on the ground, I have started writing my daily thoughts in a diary and I have even written some poems. It's been almost a year since then, and there wasn't a day we didn't think about you.''

''Oh, my. I really missed out a lot, right?''

''Yeah. We were inconsolable. Is it true that you and the Prince will get married? We were so busy celebrating that we didn't hear you two right.''

''It's all true.''

Bashfulblushed happily. ''Oh, I love happy endings! It's all so romantic!'' he exclaimed. ''Will we meet again?''

''You know, when I ate that apple, I had wanted to see the Prince again and start a new life with him, before biting it. In a way, this wish has come true. Even if we separate, don't worry. I promise I'll visit all of you when I can. Goodbye, Bashful.'' replied the princess, before giving him a kiss on the forehead.

''Aw, thanks!'' Bashful exclaimed, turning red as a bell pepper. Before being put back on the ground, he waved at her.

The second dwarf to say goodbye to Snow White was Grumpy. ''I missed you, you know. Not a day went by without my regret.'' he said.

''For what?'' asked the girl.

''For being so cold to you. I never realized how much you cared about me, or my feelings for the others, and when I did, it was too late. When we heard from the animals that that witch had caught up with you, I led my brothers, but I couldn't save you, and the worst was that gooseberry pie you made. You wanted to surprise me, and I never thought you would do such a thing after everything I've done to you. I even questioned my morality for what I did. I'm so sorry...'' murmured the grouchy dwarf, on the verge of sobbing.

''Grumpy... I forgive you. I knew you were good-hearted, even if you didn't want to admit it.'' she murmured in her sweet voice.

''Please don't ever scare me like this ever again.'' Grumpy said.

''I'll be more careful next time. Goodbye, Grumpy. See you soon.'' Snow White said, before kissing his forehead, and like Bashful, he too waved at her.

Then it was Doc, Sneezy and Happy's turn, and Florian had to lift them with both hands.

''You know, my dear, I tried hard to help my brothers and I went through all the books to try to wake you up after you ate that poisoned apple, but to no avail. I thought I was a bad leader for my brothers, and I thought that I let them down.'' said Doc.

''On the other hand, I questioned my usefulness because of the troubles caused by my sneezing.'' Sneezy added.

''And I was no longer myself. I seemed to have become the complete opposite of who I am.'' concluded Happy.

''Doc... Sneezy... Happy... I must have had a strong effect on you guys.'' Snow White said.

''Yes. We weren't ourselves anymore, especially after what happened to Sleepy. He will tell you shortly.'' Sneezy replied.

''Goodbye, Doc. Goodbye, Sneezy. Goodbye, Happy.'' the girl said, kissing their foreheads in turn.

Now only Dopey and Sleepy were left. The young dwarf, to explain what had happened in that period, made gestures and faces in a frantic way, to the point that the princess could not understand him.

''He said that after what happened, he was haunted by nightmares. He was traumatized for life, and sometimes believed that the Queen would brutally kill us.'' Sleepy translated.

''Oh, poor Dopey! Don't worry, I'm fine now. Goodbye, Dopey.'' replied the girl, giving Dopey a kiss on forehead.

''You know, three months after you fainted, something happened that left everyone in shock, especially Dopey, Bashful and Sneezy. We often couldn't sleep or slept little, and when we fell asleep, we cried in our sleep. We also had to use coffee to stay focused, but it didn't help, and I passed out from a stroke.'' said Sleepy.

''What happened?'' asked Snow White, a little worried.

''For a consecutive month, I hadn't been able to fall asleep. That day, I had a cardiac arrest due to an excess of caffeine in my blood and lack of sleep, and Dc was barely able to save my life with a defibrillator. I was unconscious until the next morning. Bashful was devastated, believing he had lost me forever, having already lost you, and Sneezy was hysterical too. Dopey was already haunted by nightmares, and all of this made it worse for him.'' explained Pisolo.

Snow White was shocked. ''It's terrible! You really worried the others!'' she exclaimed.

''I know. We are better now. This is goodbye, isn't it?'' asked the dwarf.

''Not permanently. I will go and visit you and the others. Goodbye, Sleepy.'' she replied, before kissing him on the forehead.

''Come on, Astor.'' Florian said, spurring his mare towards his castle, as Snow White waved at her friends one last time.

(''Main Theme- Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War OST-s'')

Some time later, outside Prince Florian's castle, there was the wedding between him and Snow White, in which the dwarves were invited, and the animals attended the event, and Bashful, who loved romance, was sobbing loudly on the shoulder. of Gongolo for the emotion. On that occasion, there was also a dance, with Dopey once again on Sneezy's shoulders, and at the end of the song, a strong sneeze from Sneezy sent them flying into the air, to the amazement of those present, but the two implemented it for the the final. With the unification of their kingdoms, Florian and Snow White became king and queen. The young sovereign, however, was inexperienced in royal affairs, both because of her young age and what her stepmother had put her through, so she had to receive an education that was more suited to a ruler. Occasionally, Snow White and the dwarfs visited each other, and after a couple of months, they joined the court, while the animals, being their friends, helped with the services. Someone turned up their noses a little because of prejudices towards the dwarfs like those that Grumpy had in the past, but the girl reassured that there was nothing to worry about and that there was nothing wrong. With a moderate and tolerant policy and her optimism, she quickly became very popular with the people, and a period of prosperity began for the unified kingdom. One night, the dwarves had a dream similar to Dopey's, or so it seemed...


(''Wave of Darkness II- Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- OST'')

''It is time for you to meet your fate.'' Grimhilde said, approaching Snow White threateningly.

''What have I done wrong to you?'' asked the maiden, as she backed away nervously, unable to understand why her stepmother has it out with her.

''Nothing but the fact that you are the fairest in the realm!'' replied the Evil Queen, casting a spell that narrowly missed her.

''Oh, no, you won't!'' yelled a voice. A figure lunged at Grimilde and performed an upward slash using a pickaxe like a sword, striking her on the shoulder. ''Hands off my friend, you bitch!''

Snow White was caught off guard and recognized the hoarse voice of the speaker when he turned his head to her and smiled at her. ''Grumpy?!'' she exclaimed.

''I brought reinforcements.'' Grumpy said, referring to his brothers, riding the deer, and the animals of the forest.

''Have it your way then. It will mean that you will die too!'' Grimhilde shouted, drinking a steaming green potion, transforming herself into a witch.

''Quick, hide in the house!'' cried Bashful.

''What about you guys?'' asked Snow White, a little unsure.

''We'll be fine! Go!'' answered Doc, and the girl took refuge in the house, in the bedroom.

''We have already warned you, you dirty harpy! This place is not for you!'' Grumpy shouted, holding his pickaxe tightly.

''Say what you want, I'll handle her. I'll get her!'' the witch chuckled.

''Then try looking after this!'' Sleepy yelled, hitting her in the chest with a powerful dropkick and blocking her with his pickaxe, sticking it into her robe and preventing her from moving. Doc then jumped at her and hit her with two punches and a kick on the legs, while Sneezy launched a flying kick, hitting her on the arm.

Dopey had a plan. He gestured to Bashful, who nodded, then whistled loudly, and the animals charged at Grimhilde. The rabbits and the chipmunks began to bite her, with the latter also attacking with their tail, while the birds hit her with their beak and wings, the turtle charged to strike with its shell, the deer charged and the adult stag struck her with his antlers(3). Happy hit the Evil Queen with an overhand and charged at her with his entire body, while Bashful took out his pickaxe and threw it like a boomerang.

The witch, however, escaped and used a potion to regain her original form. As everyone chased after her, a fire magic hit Dopey, who fell to the ground but recovered and threw his club at her. Birds carried the turtle because it had limited mobility by itself, and the chase continued with a series of ranged shots that Grimilde and the dwarves exchanged as they climbed a rocky cliff. Due to the black magic, Sleepy was struck by lightning and fell, falling behind, but the birds grabbed him by his jacket, allowing him to keep up with his brothers.

The seven dwarves prepared a combined attack. Doc, Grumpy, Happy and Bashful attacked at close range both physically and with their clubs, while Sleepy, Sneezy and Dopey threw their pickaxes at her.

''Stay away from Snow White, you ugly crone!'' yelled Doc.

''Either leave her alone, or die, you hag!'' Grumpy threatened.

Grimilde chuckled as she pushed a boulder from above. ''You are the ones who will die!'' she chuckled madly.

The boulder rolled towards the dwarves, but they stopped it with their pickaxes, eventually breaking it into some smaller rocks that they lifted and threw at the witch. A spell, however, caused a part of the rock they were standing to collapse on, and Bashful could not jump away.

''Oh, no! Bashful!'' shouted Sneezy, in a panic.

The shy dwarf had managed to hang on, but he was too low, and the heavy rain beating down made it harder for him to hold on.

''Quick! In position!'' Grumpy exclaimed, and everyone grabbed each other's legs so they could get down and reach their brother. However, when Sneezy managed to grab Bashful's hand, Grumpy lost his balance and everyone fell. To everyone's surprise, however, Sneezy sneezed under himself with the force of a typhoon, providing them with the necessary push to return to the top.

''Thanks, Sneezy! Nice work!'' said Bashful.

Sleepy brandished his pickaxe with both hands as if it were an axe and struck Grimhilde along with Grumpy, who was on the other side, and the tortoise bit her wrist. She threw some fireballs, which the dwarves blocked with the metal tip of their pickaxes and knocked them back at her, then a powerful kick from Happy flung her away, but the Evil Queen teleported to where she was before. The same happened when everyone threw her away swinging their clubs like baseball bats.

''You'll never hurt anyone again!'' Grumpy yelled.

Sneezy sneezed again, trapping Grimilde in a large tornado, while his brothers physically attacked her with their clubs. When Sneezy finished sneezing, the wicked one was thrown upwards, becoming just a glimmer in the sky.

(''Wave of Darkness II- Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- OST-s'')

''Now that wicked one can never harm anyone again.'' said Sleepy.

''You were good, everyone. Let's go home.'' said Doc, and everyone agreed.


(''Love's First Kiss (Finale) - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs OST'')

During the night, Dopey was quiet, and his brothers thought so too. Apparently, he hadn't had a nightmare as usual, and the next morning, he gestured to them that he had stopped having nightmares for some time. They reached the balcony, where they saw Snow White.

''Good morning, my dear.'' said Doc.

''Good morning. How are you?'' asked the girl.

''We're OK. Dopey said he no longer suffers from these nightmares about your stepmother.'' replied Sleepy.

''That's good. I'm glad he's okay.'' Snow White said, relieved.

''Yeah. Sometimes, in other than not wanting to sleep and being afraid to close his eyes, Dopey also tended to hallucinate about the Queen and would not stop screaming. We don't blame him, what happened last year was a shock to all of us.'' Happy added.

''Sometimes I get the feeling that we have known you for much longer than it seems, especially because of all those months when you were unconscious.'' said Sneezy.

''Thank you. Thank you for everything.'' said the girl, giving the dwarfs a kiss on the forehead and a hug. Some birds, including some doves, rested on their shoulders and arms.

''No. Thanks to you. You've done so much for us, and it feels right for us to return the favor.'' Grumpy replied, smiling.

Bashful remembered the song that Snow White always sang and began to sing, followed by his brothers and then by the sovereign, and Florian, who was watching the scene, joined them, followed by the other animals.

''And away to his castle you'll go''

''To be happy forever, I know''

''Someday when spring is here''

''We'll find a love anew''

''And the birds will sing, and wedding bells will ring''

''Someday when my dreams come true''

Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey now knew one thing very well: now they were with Snow White, she had found her true love, and they could all live together, happily ever after.

A/N: Long chapter, but I think it was worth it. With that, the story is over! I hope you enjoyed it, and keep following my stories. See you soon!

(1): The name of the Prince of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was revealed in a Disney France TV commercial, used by Disney in the 1990s, when the Disney Princess franchise was created, and then made official in Disney on Ice. Also, according to a couple of sources, his horse is called Astor and is a female.

(2): Initially, as also shown in the comic book adaptation, the Prince was supposed to appear in more scenes, including his escape, but his role was reduced because due to his realistic appearance, he was the most difficult character to animate. However, a similar concept was used in 1959 with Sleeping Beauty, in which Prince Philip escapes from his prison to fight Maleficent and save Aurora.

(3): Snow White appears in the Shrek series. In Shrek the Third, during the princesses's escape, she draws the animals towards her by singing, then, with the Immigrant Song scream in the background, she orders them to attack the evil trees, defeating them.
