Welcome to Gaia! ::

Open! Feel free to post!

My idea for a sequel goes basically like this:

Snow White and the Prince have been together for a few years, and they have a young daughter together, a girl of three who is just as beautiful as her mother. However, she has become dissatisfied with her marriage. Ever since she has had her child- and her radiant youth has faded with the pregnancy- the Prince has become cold and somewhat distant. She comes to see that he never really loved her; rather, he simply was infatuated with her looks. And the cold reality of it sets in on her; after all, compassion for a stranger doesn't make you kiss what's seemingly a corpse. When the Prince starts arranging a marriage for their daughter, making deals with much older men for a marriage by proxy that would entail the girl going to live with him when she was grown up, Snow White realizes that her daughter will not go to a man who really loves her, either; no, her daughter is just a political pawn, empowered by her father's land and her mother's legendary beauty. So, she does the one thing she can think to do; go back to the dwarves...

Who may or may not be happy to see her again. After all, she did just sort of disappear from their lives on the back of a handsome prince's horse after they'd looked after her for so very long, and really it was her own fault in the first place for not listening to them. Can coals of their long-cold paternal affection be rekindled when they meet the little snowflake? Turns out that they can, but they've been hurt deeply, and they've realized that they can't protect Snow forever. They help her set up for herself, and she learns how to live on her own, independent and strong. She learns to make a life for herself and her daughter, and she finds a man who loves her for who she is inside. She learns about her own inner strength, and what it means to really be a good mother to one's child. She learns about the different kinds of true love and what true love really means, and most importantly, she learns that you have to make your own happily ever after.

After riding off with her prince, Snow White became his queen and lived happily ever after. For a while at least.

A few years had past and they now had a young daughter. Unlike her mother who was gifted with un-mensurable beauty, she was not given that gift. Even at a young age, her skin was not fair and pale as snow as her mothers, nor was her hair smooth as silk. As she grew, i didn't fair well for her. Her black hair grew long but frizzy and course, teeth looking to big for her mouth yet they still grew fairly straight. She wasn't lean like her mother, having a fuller body. Her facial skin full of small bumps that would flame angrily at times and off set her blue eyes.

Over the years her parents worried about her. She was indeed different, possibly the only princess of her sorts. They had tried to do what they could, find healers and magicians in the hopes they could heal what ever demon might be causing this to they're daughter. But he repeated answer they received was 'its just the way she is.' How was she going to get her happily ever after? Who would want her when there were many much more beautiful princesses out there?

Trying to do what was best for her, when she grew into her early teens, they tried to arrange a marriage for her, saying it was 'for the best of they're kingdom'. Two more years passed, with many declined offers. It was beginning to look hopeless for they're daughter and they're kingdom.

While all this was going on, they're daughter stayed rather quiet. Pretty much hidden away from the kingdom, she didn't have many friends. She wasn't allowed out on the grounds much either, though want one to listen to the rules much. Whenever she could, she would sneak out to the stables to be with the horses. One thing she did inherit from her mother was her ability to commune with animals.

Most of the time she wasn't alone in the stables though, what she didn't know of was that the stable hand had a son, that regularly helped him in his work. He was a year older then the princess and tended to stay away from her. It wasn't for the reason her parents hid her away though, he was just relatively shy. One day when she had stopped by unexpectedly, not at her normal time, she ran right into him. Both being shy, conversation was uneasy at first, but the more they talked, the more they got to know each other, and see how much alike they were.

A friendship started from that day, and who knows what time would bring. But a princess would never be allowed to be with a stable hand...would she?
