Disclaimer: I don't own Scrubs or any fairy tales of any kind. Nearly all italic sentences are JD's thoughts. Oh, and I'm not a JD/Elliot 'shipper in any way, shape, or form, but I decided to make them work in this story. And the dwarves have the names of the characters playing them, 'cause I was worried about causing confusion. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Once upon a time…
Once upon a time, in the tiny country of Sacredheartland, there lived a king and queen who longed for a child. They prayed for a little girl with a heart as pure as snow, with eyes as blue as the very depth of the ocean, and hair that that was as dark as the night sky. At last, one day, their prayers were answered. They were more than a little surprised to have a son, but no less overjoyed. However, they had already listed their potential daughter's name in the royal records as Snow White, so the poor boy was stuck with a decidedly feminine name. The king and queen were plucky, however, and decided to call their SW for short, so as not to give him a complex.
Sadly, SW's father, a good man and king died shortly after his son was born. The queen was heartbroken, but knew her country needed a king and her son a father, so she married Lord Robert Kelso and appointed him king. King Robert, unfortunately, was a vain, bloodless tyrant who was a master manipulator when it came to receiving loyalty and gaining power. If he weren't king, no one would give the bastard the time of day. SW and his mother were very close, but she passed away when he was still just a boy, so SW was left alone in the care of King Robert, who openly despised him. In fact, he often forced SW to do servant's work, and even threatened to put SW in the stocks for a month if he ever called him "Dad".
And yet SW never allowed any of this unmitigated abuse to crush his spirit. He maintained a sunny outlook on life, since he had inherited his parents' spunk. He had many offbeat interests and quirks and a knack for relating to people. King Robert became increasingly annoyed by SW's likable demeanor, and ever more dependent on his secret advisor: a magic mirror he kept in a secret chamber. One day, King Robert stepped in front of his magic mirror and asked it the same question he asked it everyday:
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most powerful of them all?"
And the image of a long-faced bald man would appear in the mirror and give him the same answer,
"You, King Robert, are the most powerful in the land. The same as you were ten minutes ago when you asked me, and ten minutes before that…"
But King Robert wasn't listening, he was too delirious from his own ego boost. So complacent was he that he didn't notice that SW was growing into quite the affable young man, beloved by the citizens of Sacredheartland. He also possessed offbeat, handsome looks, and he had just the traits his parents had wished. SW did indeed have wide, animated eyes that were a vivid shade of blue, a heart as pure as snow (and skin just as white), and his hair was not only the color of the night sky, but truly did seem to reach the night sky on its own. Despite all this, King Robert took for granted that the magic mirror's answer would never change.
But then came that fateful day.
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most powerful of them all?"
The magic mirror actually hesitated.
"Um, I hate to break it to you, but someone is going to become the most powerful and beloved ruler Sacredheartland has ever known, and, um, it's not you."
"Mirror, mirror, only one in the land, do you see this brick in my hand?"
"Sir, please don't shatter the messenger. I actually like my life."
"Fine, then who is this little upstart?"
"Your stepson, Snow White."
With that, the magic mirror showed an image of SW smiling and waving to the crowds, and indulging in a strange new fad of raising his palm up and allowing it to be slapped by another person's palm. The magic mirror continued,
"He has a way with people, Your Highness. They respond to his nebbish charm and endearing clumsiness."
He showed another image of SW grinning, running to jump on a horse, and toppling over it instead and landing with an undignified thud. King Robert scowled.
"Are you telling me that my fatuous dolt of a stepson, that man-child who somehow has a functioning brain even though he can't make it through the day without falling, is going to usurp my power?!"
"Pretty much, sir. That day is closer than you think."
"I simply won't allow it! I must find some way to eliminate my unworthy competitor!"
The magic mirror sighed.
"I figured you'd say that."
