All in Jollywood lay thick, colorless clouds, hanging low, covering most of the townspeople's homes and part of the castle too. The 7D stared out in shock, watching almost as if they were hypnotized at what they saw: Every dwarf from Jollywood marched in straight lines. Some dwarfs were forced into the 7D's mine, digging up jewels for Queen Hilda, whereas others were forced to pull off and destroy the Christmas decorations, much to Happy's displeasure.

Happy dropped his guitar, he gasped over-exaggerately. "WHAT ARE THEY DOING?" He screamed, his Christmas spirit getting to the best of him. Happy was about to rush over to the townsfolk and stop them from ruining the decorations further, but Grumpy quickly caught hold of his hand.

"Happy," Grumpy whispered, pulling him behind a bush where the rest of the gang were already hiding. "We can't let anyone see us, especially Hilda!"

Happy nodded solemnly. Happy STILL wanted to rush over to the townsfolk, but he knew better.

While still holding Happy's hand to console him, Grumpy turned to face Doc. "Well... you're the Mr. Smarty-pants. What do we do?"

Doc peered out from behind the bush to catch a glimpse of the condition the Queen's castle was in. He quickly brought his face back to the other's as he sucked his teeth in fear. "I-uh... I don't know..."

Gasps and small murmurs of worry erupted from the gang, until Happy interrupted it. Happy's stomach growled loudly, making Happy grimace.

"We also have that to deal with..." Grumpy said, gesturing towards Happy's stomach. Happy took hold of Grumpy's hand again and squeezed it. Grumpy glanced down at this interaction.

"Why are you holding my hand, Happy?"

"I get touchy when I'm hungry."

Starchbottom stared up at the castle, very worried for his poor Queen Delightful, who technically wasn't Queen anymore. But Lord Starchbottom, Delightful's best advisor, would NOT allow Hilda to dethrone the Queen without a fight.

Unfortunately, however, Starchy wasn't a good fighter, and he has a extreme phobia of the dark.

Night was beginning to fall, but it was still hours before midnight, so the 7D knew they had plenty of time to kick Queen Hilda out and bring the true Queen back to her royal throne.

Starchy began biting his nails as he stared up at the castle. Bashful was flipping out. Sneezy cried out in worry as he gripped Sleepy's shoulders and shook Sleepy back and forth, causing his snoozey friend to get dizzy. Happy was giggling nervously. Every time Happy's stomach growled louder, Happy would grab Grumpy's hand tightly, much to Grumpy's annoyance.

"Focus 7D!" Doc shouted, flailing his arms around, delirious. "We have to save the Queen and all of you are going crazy! But we have to stay calm. We're the 7D. We all work as a team. And I'm quite certain that we can save Delightful no matter WHAT happens. Are you with me?!" Doc set his hand in front of everyone, hoping they'd get the hint and put their hands on top of his.

Dopey whistled to say he agreed. He placed his hand over Doc's first with a hopeful smile. Doc smiled back and then turned back to the other's. "Anyone else?"

Bashful nodded widely. He put his hand on Dopey's.

Happy smiled softly, trying to ignore the pain and cramps he received from not eating, he lay his hand next.

Grumpy, of course responded the same way, placing his hand on Happy's. Then Sleepy and Sneezy followed along. Starchy was the only one who didn't. Everyone looked up at him with questioning eyes.

"Ummm... Starchy... you gonna do something?" Sneezy asked.

Starchy nodded. "Of course I want to save Queen Delightful, but... No offense... it's just..." Lord Starchbottom trailed off, looking off in a distance.

"Well. Than you're just gonna have to trust me." Doc stated.

Lord Starchbottom glanced down at the group. Questioning his decision, Lord Starchbottom hesitantly walked over to them, laying his hand on top of Sleepy's. They all smiled up at him, cheesily, and Lord Starchbottom just rolled his eyes.

Everyone shouted in unison, "HEIGH-HO!" as they threw their hands in the air.

"I see some major character development. Could you all be changing to become better people?" Doc glanced around at everyone, overly-dramatically as tears built in his eyes.

"No."

"Great way to ruin the FanFict... pals..." Doc mumbled sarcastically, as a deadpan expression was plastered on his face. "Alright, here's what we're gonna do..." He whispered to them, while everyone was standing in the circle.

The 7D peeked through their window. Inside their cottage stood dwarfs none of the 7D knew. Each of the dwarfs were rummaging through the 7D's stuff! Grumpy growled as he noticed someone stealing his cheese. Grumpy was about to complain, but Sleepy jumped up in dismay as he saw a dwarf he's never even met grab Mr. HicklePips.

"Mr HicklePips! No!" Sleepy reached out for his poor stuffed animal. Sneezy quickly caught hold of his hand and pulled him back before anyone inside their home could notice.

"Sleepy wait..." Sneezy told him, still clutching to his hand.

Grumpy was indifferent to Mr. HicklePips being stuffed-napped; but he sure was angry at that dwarf chewing on his cheese. "Don't worry," Grumpy said as he glared holes at the dwarfs inside. "I got an idea. GISELLE GET EM!" Grumpy suddenly yelled, pointing at everyone trespassing. Giselle snorted out a large smoke ring as she raced towards the dwarfs. Since all their joy has been sucked out of them, they were immensely slow. They finally saw Giselle right as she was about to hit them. Their mouth's flung open in bewilderment and very quickly, they all raced out the house as Giselle continued chasing them.

The 7D and Starchy stealthily scampered into their home. Starchy glanced up at the short ceiling, almost banging his head. Grumpy picked up his nibbled on cheese and hide it in his flowerpot hat. Sleepy smiled with joy as he picked up Mr. HicklePips. Sleepy's eyes enlarged as he held his stuffed friend in the air like it was some kind of God, until he finally gave in and bear hugged Mr. HicklePip's with all his might. Grumpy merely rolled his eyes as he saw this.

"C'mon, gang," Doc whispered aside. "Let's take the secret tunnels to the castle."

"What if Hilda is blocked the secret entrances?" Lord Starchbottom asked, quite anxious and skittish.

"There are so many secret entrances to the castle; Hilda can't possible block all of them off at the same time." Doc stated. "Now follow me."

Hilda held an amuck grin as she peered at the piles of shimmering gems the Jollywoodians managed to snag in the entire hour of her being Queen.

"Ooooooohh!" Hilda skipped gleefully. "LOOK AT ALL THESE GEMS MY GRIMMY-WIMMY!"

Grim, not really caring, nodded heedlessly, his gaze stuck in a totally different area of the room. "Uh-huh... I see, my torturous lover."

"WE'RE RICH! RICH!" Hilda laughed. She glanced all around the castle walls. The entire decor was golden and bright yellow. A color Hilda hated. Along with the color pink and alice blue; Hilda hated anything bright. "Although we are rich..." Hilda began her complaints, "I would love to change the entire decor of this perfectly-disgusting joyful castle and make it just the way I like: dreary."

Grim, yet again, wasn't paying attention. He continued staring at the castle walls, not looking at anything in particular. "Mmmm-hmm..."

"GRIMWOLD!" Hilda boomed, despite Grim slouching right next to her. He skittishly jumped in the air, his body shaking all over, terrified of his ferocious wife.

"Y-y-y-yes my angelic monster?" Grim saluted a shaky hand as he faced Hilda.

"Please help me change this stinky castle, I can't BEAR living in here with all this HAPPINESS!"

"But, darling, you already sucked everyone's happiness away." Grim responded.

Hilda groaned as she rubbed her forehead. Although she was acting like she was in distress, she was just playing a game so that she could manipulate her hubby-wubby from fixing everything up, letting him do the dirty work.

She sighed over the top again and said, "Maybe so, but unfortunately I STILL feel Christmas spirit in the air. Besides, I'm Queen now. I want the castle redecorated. NOW!"

Grim sighed deeply. "Well, ok." Then he left the room, leaving Hilda all alone.

The 7D popped out of their tunnels, Starchbottom coming out difficulty. He finally popped out, landing on the 7D. "OUCH!" They all screamed in perfect rhythm before Doc quietly shushed them.

"Get off of us Lord Starchbottom, and stay quiet all of you." Doc murmured.

Lord Starchbottom and everyone stood up just as Grumpy talked. "Well gee Mr. Smarty-pants, what got you all riled up?" Grumpy mocked slightly.

Doc rolled his eyes, knowing that getting into an argument over nothing was pointless, he began taking action. "Alright everyone. We're separating into groups." Doc ordered. "Dopey, your with me. Lord Starchbottom, go with Bashful. Sleepy, you stay with Sneezy, and Grumpy, make sure Happy's ok. There are a lot of rooms in this castle, so we'll have to search for Queen Hilda extra hard if we wanna stop her."

"What do we do once we see her?" Sneezy asked in a nassaly-congested voice.

Doc paused. "... that's a pretty good question..."

Grumpy facepalmed himself.

"Once you find her... stay near her and wait for me to arrive. I'll have a plan. Hopefully..." Doc said.

He knew there were plenty of holes in their little plan, but at this point, no one questioned it. Everyone would go to great lengths to get Queen Delightful back. So right then and there, the plan Doc pulled out of the air seemed amazing compared to the awful things Hilda was planning to do.

Happy stopped walking altogether. His stomach growled madly, and he cupped his rumbling belly with his hands as he cringed. Grumpy, who was walking way ahead of Happy, not knowing Happy stopped, turned to look behind him.

"Happy?" Grumpy asked, shuffling towards him.

"We should've stopped to eat a snack in our cottage when we had the chance..." Happy mumbled to himself, still audible enough for Grumpy to hear.

Grumpy remembered the cheese he hide in his hat. He took off his hat and handed Happy the cheese.

Happy's eyes lit up. Grabbing the cheese, Happy hugged it close to his face, taking in the delicious aroma. "Thanks Grumpy!" Happy smiled widely and he began scaring the cheese down.

Grumpy shrugged. "Eh. Don't mention it. Besides- there's more cheese at home... I hope..."

Once Happy finished, he felt a lot better and he could think clearly once again. He trotted along with Grumpy, trying to find Hilda.

"Alright... so you remember that time with you and I and that Dr. JingleHeimer dude?" Grumpy whispered.

"Oooh! Yeah! That was creepy and oddly fun!" Happy giggled a little bit too loudly, but still stayed calm. Well, as calm as Happy could be.

"Let's imagine that this is like that- except no singing."

"Awh but singing is my thing." Happy said, peering through a door. "Should we go through here?" He asked.

Grumpy slowly walked over to Happy's side and peered through the crack as well. "Uh, yes... But wait just a sec..." He muttered, not really confident. He continued to glare into the dark room, and was unable to spot anything.

Happy thought Grumpy meant to wait a literal second. A second passed and Happy jumped through the doors. "PUT YOUR HANDS UP! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST..."

"HAPPY!" Grumpy rushed over to Happy, laying a hand over his mouth. "What is WRONG with you?"

They came face-to-face with Grim Gloom. Grim held a paintbrush with pails containing dark purple and black paint. Grim waved over at Happy and Grumpy. "Oh hey! Aren't you one of the 7D peeps?"

Grumpy had his mouth open in shock, until he finally closed it. "Uhhhh..." was all he managed to say.

"You are correct sir!" Happy exclaimed, as he pushed Grumpy's hand away.

"Oh cool." Grim said. He turned back to the walls, painting them from a shiny yellow, to a pale purple. Happy and Grumpy exchanged glances.

"Uh, Grim, is there anything odd to you?" Grumpy said, gesturing to himself and Happy. "Anything at all?"

"Nope." Grim responded, oblivious.

Grumpy smiled smugly. "Happy and Grumpy are still locked up, right?"

"Yup!"

"And if Hilda asks you if any of the 7D are around, you'll say no, right?"

"Well, yeah."

Happy laughed. Grumpy took Happy's and hand and glanced at the exit behind them. "Well, Happy and I are really busy, so ummm, bye."

Just as the door closed from their departure, Grim went through exactly what happened. "Wait... Happy and who?!"

"The 7D are HERE?!" Hilda screeched. Grim squeezed his ears as his eardrums rattled.

"I'm sorry my love... I was too busy to notice..." Grim apologized. He then changed the subject. "But hey! Look at the wicked painting skills I got, huh, huh?" He posed next to the purple wall with a large smile, but Hilda didn't care about the wall.

"You said HAPPY was there as well! How could HAPPY ESCAPE?"

"M-mm maybe Grumpy found out a way to get out..."

"GRUMPY was chained to the floor! You hid the key, right? And... and the only way they could've escaped is if the rest of the stupid 7D helped them. NOW THEY ALL COULD BE HERE!"

Grim nodded with his head hanging down. Hilda's tone of voice changed. She glanced down at the velvet carpet floor, trying to hide her tears. Grim looked at her with a look of sad shock and quickly gripped her hand. "Hilda, my precious. I promise you the 7D will NOT defeat you. You've tried so hard to become Queen and you did it! If we see any of them, we'll beat them to the ground. We still have wands. Wands that can zap the 7D out of this castle!"

Hilda looked into her husband's eyes, stuck in his gaze. She smiled for a brief moment and kissed Grim on the cheek. He let out a dorky laugh and Hilda chuckled at his reaction.

"Thank you Grimmy-Wimmy!" She whispered with a soft smile, which automatically calmed down Grim.

Grim and Hilda kept gazing at each other until Hilda broke their lovefest. "Now finish painting. I'll make sure those 7D never find us."
