I gasped as the wicked queen fell to her death, I felt someone pull me back.
" Come on, snow white needs us!"
Doc said softly. All of us were very silent as we went back to the cottage were we lived. Dopey started crying as Doc checked Snow white's pulse. Sneezy put his arm around Dopey.
" Is she ok?"
I whispered and Doc shook his head. Happy glanced at me, then silently walked out the door, I followed him.
" Happy?"
He sank by a tree and burried his face in his hands. I kneeled in front of him and put my hand on shoulder.
" Grumpy,"
Happy looked up at me.
" You liked her too didn't you?"
I nodded slowly.
" She was like no woman I ever knew."
I whispered, Happy smiled saddly.
" What changed?"
I shrugged. What I felt was so difficult to put into words.
" She was so thoughtful and kind. She acttually cared about us."
I whispered, Happy nodded as Bashful came up to us.
" Doc says we need to get ready to tell her goodbye."
I turned away unwilling to let them see the tears that had sprang to my eyes. Happy put his arm around me.
" Grumpy?"
" I'll be there in a few mintues."
I whispered. As soon as I was alone I sank onto my knees and closed my eyes. After a few seconds I felt a furry body on my knee and opened my eyes to see a tiny chipmunk silently stareing up at me.
" Hey there."
I whispered and it crawled against my chest, clinging to my shirt with its tiny paws.
" The birds tried to make the bad lady go away. We all did."
I sighed.
" I know...I'm sorry we tried to chase you away..."
" Grumpy?"
Sleepy asked.
" I'm comin."
" Can they come too?"
" Sure. They can all come."
I said and rubbed the Chipmunk's back a couple moments, then Sleepy and I walked to the cottage together.
