    The old woman found Snow, she cried for help, telling Snow that the queen had fallen and the prince is planning to destroy her kingdom. Snow wanted to save her people, and the dwarfs agreed to help her. They prepare their weapons to retaliate. The old woman given Snow a red apple, a girdle and a comb, saying that it''s her gift for her safe journey and thank her for saving her life. And Snow wears the comb and girdle. She didn''t die of course, it''s a plan by the queen as the girdle and the comb send out aura of the evil queen. And the old woman told Snow that the red apple can give instant healing power.


    <hr>


    So the seven dwarf warriors and Snow leading an army of enchanted creatures ready to fight against the prince at the battlefield. The prince thought Snow was the evil queen and determined to kill her after seeing her beauty. Because he saw the aura of the evil queen from the girdle and the comb Snow is wearing. Here, let''s do some enemy to lovers trope! "I won''t be fooled by your beauty!" He roared! "I''ll send you and your beasts back to hell!"


    After a few cling clang action, Snow trying to communicate but the prince kept attacking. When Snow trying to dodge his sword, the comb dropped from her head, breaking the queen''s spell on her.


    Erm, i think i''ll just let the girdle out of the story, coz if i need this to be family and kids friendly, i can''t make the prince took off her girdle. Yup, but some spice in romance should be fine. Just not appropriate if kids are the target audience.


    After the spell broken, the prince recognised Snow from her song. Both of them came clear that they had been tricked into fighting against each other, but Snow accidentally stabbed the prince. She took out the apple and attempt to heal the prince. But he died after he ate the thing.


    The queen appeared after the prince died, and now should be Snow vs queen moment. Snow monologue time. She was the one asking her father for a mom, hoping to be loved by the queen but she finally realised that love comes in both ways. She admits that all she wanted is to be loved by many, that''s why she always so kind to others, hoping that they all will love her. And then, she realised that she had never truly return that love. So finally, Snow tells the queen that she loves her as much as she wanted to love her mom which she never met, and the queen is the manifestation of her own insecurity that her mom might not love her. Snow kisses the queen (on forehead, of course) and break the curse, and the queen saw her own reflection in the mirror as Snow''s mom who lost her soul given to the power of darkness coz she loved Snow so much, she made a deal with the devil to remain alive so that she may live with Snow, but she lost her soul to the devil after that transaction. But once the curse broken, the queen turned back into a ghost and faded away with the mirror. Dramatic moment, where the queen finally tell Snow to let go.


    Snow then kisses the prince, and she finally learns to truly love someone and not to feel insecure about others not loving her. The prince alive again and they live happily ever after.


    The end.
