Author's Note: I don't own anything.

Summary: Grumpy waits for Nova to return for many nights, hoping she will come back after he ended things.

The sun had just set as I made my way over to where the fireflies danced. Tonight I was feeling lucky, nothing could stop me now. I had my diamond in my pocket hoping to propose to my beloved Nova. A few weeks ago, she and I had a huge argument and I told her to follow her dream and live on without me.

So every night for the past few weeks, I waited for her. I waited to see if she would come back. Tonight was a full moon and the fireflies were rumored to glow extra bright. And knowing Nova she would want to see this.

I nervously sat on a log and waited. Would she show?

Time slowly went by and nothing happened. I waited as my heart grew heavy. She was nowhere to be seen as the fireflies emerged. They slowly floated around doing their own thing as I looked from side to side.

I reflected back on Nova and how I fell in love with her. It's all started with a dream I had of her. And that's how I got my first name, Dreamy. But alas I am no longer Dreamy, but Grumpy. Losing her is what turned me into the dwarf I am now. Hopefully if she showed up I could let go of Grumpy and go back to what I once was…Dreamy.

I felt myself getting tired, my eyelids began to droop. I cannot fall asleep I told myself. I had to be with my true love like that woman said at the bar. She was pretty. I never got her name, but I will always remember her advice.

I suddenly began to yawn. I had no idea what time it was or how long I had been out here waiting, but nothing was happening. I slowly felt my eyes begin to close as I grew more and more tired with each passing minute. I tried to keep myself awake, but I could no longer hold back. I figured if she was to return, she would wake me up.

Meanwhile in the sky….

"Nova, do you want to be a fairy godmother or what?"

"Yes Blue Fairy, I want to."

"Then you must let him go."

"I love him."

"If you don't let him go, I will have him thrown in jail. I will see to it that he was falsely accused of stealing a diamond."

"A diamond? He has one?"

"He was going to propose to you. Make your choice Nova, become a fairy godmother or he gets locked up."

Nova didn't want to make this choice. "Please don't make me."

"Fine," snapped the Blue Fairy as she whistled.

The Blue Fairy's whistle had awoken some of King George's men and they woke him up.

"What's going on?" Grumpy asked.

"You are under arrest for the stealing of a priceless diamond."

"I didn't steal it!" Grumpy defended himself.

He tried to get away, but the men were stronger than him. They took him away.

Nova's screams could be heard in the sky. "I change my mind! I want to be a fairy godmother!"

"Regardless it's too late," smirked the Blue Fairy.

With a heavy heart, Nova accepted her fate.
