Author's note: I don't own anything
Summary: Before marrying Prince Charming, Snow White finds herself missing a special dwarf, Dopey.
I'm standing in front of the mirror in my wedding gown. Today is the day I'm marrying Prince Charming. I can't believe it's finally happening. I remember the day he saved me with true love's kiss from that poison apple that my evil stepmother tricked me into eating. I remember getting out of the coffin and being swept into his arms. I remember as I was mounted on the white horse, the dwarfs each came to say goodbye to me as I kissed them on their foreheads. Doc, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Bashful, and then the last one. Dopey.
When he came up to me, he lifted his head up so I would kiss him on the lips. I tilted his head down and kissed him on the forehead. I didn't see how hurt he looked when I did that. As the dwarfs kept coming back for more goodbyes, Dopey tried to kiss me again and again.
I kept denying him.
Finally, my Prince and I rode off into the sunset, but I could see that Dopey was crying. He was hurt, but I was blinded by love. I would never kiss another man, yet alone a dwarf, especially after being reunited with my true love.
But now as I stand here, about to get married, I keep thinking about Dopey. I'm sure when the news of my wedding reached him, he was devastated. It broke my heart knowing that I broke his heart even more. He was the most kind out of the dwarfs. He made me smile and laugh, unlike Prince Charming. Dopey would dance with me, unlike Prince Charming. Dopey would eat with me, unlike Prince Charming. Although Dopey couldn't speak, actions spoke louder than words. He seemed to care more about me than the Prince did. Ever since I've been here, I've spent most of my time alone. Waiting for the Prince. So much for love.
I put on my veil and finally the tears spilt. What would I give to give Dopey that kiss that he wanted. I would hold him in my arms and never let go. He loved me more than the Prince ever would. Yet, I was blinded by love.
The time came for me to walk down to marry my Prince. Every step felt heavy and my heart felt heavy. I could see that everyone in the kingdom had gathered for this joyous occasion. Suddenly, my heart began to race as I began to serve for the seven dwarfs. They must be here! I thought to myself. I continued along, looking for them. And then, I saw Happy. He was smiling at me, but his eyes were filled with pain and sorrow. Then I saw Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and then Bashful. They all looked the same as Happy did. Smiling on the outside, hurting on the inside. And then I saw Dopey. He was crying. When I saw him, my heart broke. I had been blinded by love. I stopped when I was standing in front of the seven dwarfs. "Congratulations Snow White," Doc, the leader said.
"Thank you," I whispered.
I then walked towards Dopey and knelt to his level. His eyes met mine. Hurt, sorrow, anger, love. "I love you Dopey," I whispered.
And I kissed him. The kiss he had always wanted, he finally received.
