Authors Note: Ok so I absolutely adore Disney's Pocahontas, but the ending always bothered me. If they really loved each other then wouldn't John have come back once he was healed? It's just a thing that's been bothering me so it finally led me to writing a different ending. I hope you like! –Elphaba1fan

Thomas woke up to the sound of all the men preparing for war. He grabbed his gun and hat
and joined them in marching towards the designated spot with the feeling he had forgotten something...

Pocahontas had never run so fast in her life, and now she was shielding John from the club her father had just about used. She had spoken from her heart and now waited desperately. Finally her father spoke as well.

"My daughter speaks with a wisdom beyond her years. We have all come here with anger in our hearts...but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing... it will not start with me." He turned to a fellow Indian. "Release him." Once John's bonds were cut Pocahontas rushed into his embrace. Normally this would be where the happy music would come and all would be well. Unfortunately some endings have a twist and Pocahontas's ending didn't seem like it would be a good one. Ratcliffe looked from the two embracing to the chief.
" Now's our chance! Fire!" He yelled. Thomas looked flabbergasted.
"No!" Ratcliffe gave a confused look. Did the pipsqueak just disobey his order?
"What?"
"They let him go." Thomas continued.
"They don't want to fight." Shouted another. Ratcliffe glared.
" It's a trick! Don't you see? Fire!" The men just looked at him, their minds set. Ratcliffe began to panic and grabbed the gun from the man closest to him.
" Fine. I'll settle this myself." John looked up when there was an uproar over by Ratcliffe and his men. He saw the gun being pointed at the chief and before he could think twice he dove in between the gun and Pocahontas's father.
"No!"
"John!" Thomas cried. John fell with a thud. Pocahontas was by his side within seconds. He looked up confused. He was supposed to be in complete agony right now. Ratcliffe's yell caused him to look over at everyone.
"Thomas you idiot! Was it not your job to load the guns?!" Now Thomas remembered what it was he had forgotten and relief filled his body.
"It's a good thing I didn't! You could have shot him!" Now Ratcliffe was panicking openly.
"He would have stepped right-- right into it. It would have been all his fault!"
"Smith was right all along."
"We never should've listened to you." Ratcliffe made to get away but to no avail.
"Get the gun!" Thomas snatched it away.
"Traitors! Unhand me, I say! How dare you!" Ratcliffe said struggling.
"Put him in chains!" Thomas ordered. Ratcliffe got real close to his face.
"I'll see you all hanged for this!"
"And gag him as well!" Thomas said confidently.
Pocahontas helped John up and kissed him. Her father realized that he would have risked his own life for the tribe and went to him.
"I thank you." He said bowing. "Because of the courage an honor you have just showed there will always be a place for you here."
So John stayed with Pocahontas and Ratcliffe was taken to jail. Everything worked out the way it was supposed to, and peace settled in between the two different races.
