Judith Hopps and the Seven Dwarfs
Once upon a time, there lived a lovely little bunny princess named Judith Hopps. Her vain and wicked stepmother, Queen Bellwether, feared that one day Judith's beauty would surpass her own. So she dressed the little bunny princess in rags and forced her to work as a scullery maid.
Each day, the vain Queen consulted her magic mirror. "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
….and as long as the mirror answered, "You are the fairest one of all." Judith was safe from the sheep queen's cruel jealousy.
...That is of course…
Until the magic mirror spoke otherwise, claiming Judith Hopps, the fairest one of all. A fact, which left the wicked sheep's blood boiling.
.
Princess Judith washed the bottom steps of the castle's stairway, clad in a torn and patched up, dirty cream and brown colored dress, and a pale blue bow atop her head. Her attire, a complete contradiction to her actual royal status as the daughter of the true late rulers of the Hopps Kingdom, King Stuart and Queen Bonnie.
After giving the steps a good scrubbing, Judith sighed, brushing an arm across her brow. Clearly tired after a long day's work. Alas however, the day's work was not yet over.
Judith rose to her feet, bucket in paw to fetch more water from the nearby well to continue on with her duties.
She set the empty bucket down to pull up a fresh bucket of water from the well. Placing the full bucket beside her on the well's edge, Judith gazed down below at the water in the well, viewing her reflection in the ripples of the water and taking in her dirty clothes and dirt covered cheeks.
Judith sighed once more, pulling out a locket hidden in her blouse. Within the locket was a small portrait of her dear deceased parents. "I suppose this isn't how you pictured life to turn out for me after your marriage to Queen Bellwether, is it father?" Judith shifted her gaze back down to her reflection, then back at the locket. "It's okay, I don't blame you. You couldn't have known how cruel she would be after your death," she smiled gently at the locket, an understanding look in her eyes.
"Well, while I have you guys here…" Judith shifted her eyes right to left, making sure a certain sheep wasn't watching. "Want to know a secret?" she whispered to the rabbits in the portrait, as if expecting them to answer as they once used to whenever she would regale them with her secrets. "Promise not to tell?" she giggled with a bashful smile.
Her cheeks blushed red as her innocent heart suddenly felt warm and full of love. "I had a dream last night, where a wonderful prince came to me and took me from this terrible place. I couldn't see his face, but he had the most gentle voice and…" she puffed her chest to release an ecstasy ridden sigh, "he made me feel worthwhile again. He made me feel...loved again."
Judith gazed back at the locket - no reaction from her parents, of course - but she could swear she almost heard her mother remind her of something they used to do together from when Judith was a child. "What was that, Mother? You want me to sing our old song and wish it upon the well?" Judith giggled, "I haven't done that since I was a kit." She stared at her mother's warm gaze in the locket, returning back a tender gaze of her own, "Very well then. If you insist."
Judith looked back down the well, as her and her mother's song began to swell in her heart:
We are standing by a wishing well
Make a wish into the well,
That's all you have to do,
And if you hear it echoing,
Your wish will soon come true,
Judith set her paws on the well's edge to sing directly into it. Hoping, to hear her wish resonate back to her from the well's echo.
I'm wishing,
I'm wishing …...it echoed back.
For the one I love,
To find me
To find me
Today,
Today
I'm hoping,
I'm hoping
And I'm dreaming of,
The nice things,
The nice things
He'll say,
He'll say
As if magically summoned by her voice, a young fox prince by the name of Nicholas Wilde, suddenly made his way by the castle's walls. Though he just happened to be passing by, he stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing the love stricken bunny's soothing voice resonate past the walls. His ears stood erect, completely and utterly mesmerized by the sweet, angelic voice beyond the wall. "What's that? It's coming from over there." He curiously made his way toward the source of the singing, climbing over one of the castle's shorter walls.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Upon climbing the wall, Prince Nicholas sat stunned, his jaw dropping once laying eyes on the source of the voice. Before him, singing by a wishing well was a gorgeous young rabbit. Her fur gray and her eyes bright and beautiful as an amethyst gemstone. Nicholas' low hanging jaw immediately rose back up into a more than pleased smile at the sublime sight before him.
He climbed down the rest of the way, desiring nothing more but to introduce himself to the lovely rabbit. Judith meanwhile, continued on with her song. Her eyes closed, lost in song, and completely unaware of the young suitor making his way toward her.
I'm wishing,
I'm wishing
For the one I love,
To find me,
To find me
Today…
Prince Nicholas suddenly popped up beside her by the well, echoing back her last word:
Todaaaaaaay!
"Waaahh!" Judith screamed in shock, shooting her eyes open and whacking the bucket beside her with enough force to send it flying right SMACK at Prince Nicholas' face!
"Aaghn!" Nicholas could swear his head was spinning over his shoulders as a goofy, clearly dazed look on his face overtook him. He lifted his finger to address an answer at all four of the bunnies he was currently seeing, "I found you-egh" The fox prince fell back down into the well. A big splash rising up after him.
"Aah! Oh no!" Judith gasped with her paws at her mouth. She quickly lowered the bucket down the well to lift the fox back up from it.
She groaned and clenched her teeth as she began to slowly pull up the now heavy bucket that was carrying the fox.
Upon lifting him up, Judith tied the rope to ensure he would not fall back in. She was glad to see he was unhurt, but he was soaked to the bone! Feeling completely and utterly embarrassed by her action, Judith frantically apologized to him, "Are you alright? I'm sorry! You surprised me and...I didn't mean to knock you down the well!"
Despite his soaked state, the fox prince couldn't help but smile, bearing her no Ill will, "Well, I guess that's one way a guy can fall for you," he chuckled with a flirty smile.
Judith suddenly felt all the blood rush to her cheeks and ears, causing her to blush hard at his flattering words. Could it be her wish had indeed come true? Could it be that this fox was the valiant prince from her dream? The one who vowed his love to her and took her away from this horrible nightmare? If so...Oh...Judith groaned internally, feeling just so guilty and embarrassed that she'd made such a horrible first impression on the male that could have been the love of her life, "I'm so sorry! Please excuse me!" she choked and ran off on the verge of tears.
"W-Wait!" he called out after her, struggling to free his rear and tail from the bucket. "Come on, budge!" he pulled upward and popped right out of the bucket. All the while being cautious of not falling back into the well.
Judith meanwhile dashed toward her bedchamber, still feeling ashamed of herself.
"Wait Carrots! I-I mean Miss! Please Miss! I'm not angry or upset with you!" he raced after her desperately once freeing himself from the well.
Judith however didn't care. She could hear his words, but she still felt far too embarrassed to stop.
"Miss please!" Nicholas watched as she ran into a nearby room with an open balcony.
In his desperation, he suddenly remembered that she had garnered his attention through her singing. His sharp mind acting quickly, he figured perhaps he could do the same. He cleared his throat and removed his hat like a true gentlemammal and began to sing what he felt in his heart for her:
Now that I've found you,
Hear what I have to saaay,
Judith suddenly felt her heart stop upon hearing the fox's gentle voice call to her in song. Curious, she peeked out her balcony, still concealing herself behind the curtain. But rather than display the same look of mortification she previously had, she now bore a smile as the fox continued to serenade her from below her balcony.
One song,
I have but one song,
One song,
Only for you,
Judith saw how Nicholas twisted his cap to remove all the excess water from it. Nicholas' eyes widened a bit in surprise at just how much water his cap had soaked in. Regardless of it all, he just shrugged, humored by it and winked at her to let her know everything was all right. Judith giggled, feeling her heart flutter at the handsome fox and his charming demeanor. Hiding back behind the curtain, she wrapped her arms around herself and sighed. Hardly being able to contain the feeling of love the fox was filling her with. She felt nothing could ruin this moment, until she looked back down to the skirt of her dress. She felt self conscious. How could he possibly find her beautiful dressed in such ugly and tattered clothes?
To Nicholas however, none of that mattered. He didn't know why, but somehow he could feel there was more to this bunny than just her looks. He could see it in her eyes the moment he managed to stare directly into them - that is before she accidentally knocked him down into the well - but still!
Judith too, now looking at him well could tell that there was more to him too. He was after all trying to sweep her off her feet despite having seen her in her raggedy clothes. Fluffing up the fur of her cheeks and combing down the fur of her ears, Judith walked back out to stand at the balcony to be in Nicholas' view.
One heart,
Tenderly beating
Ever entreating,
Constant and true,
Seeing her perched out at her balcony at last, Nicholas could feel his heart and courage swell. Her love entranced smile, giving him the courage to take a step closer up the steps leading up to her balcony.
One love,
That has possessed me,
One love,
Queen Bellwether meanwhile stood to observe the two from her window. Her heart filled with jealousy at the sight of the fox prince serenading the fairer bunny princess - pouring his heart out to her. The sheep trembled with fury, feeling her heart fill with envy and hatred over the romantic scene, "Ugh!" she shut the curtains of her chamber window, refusing to view the scene any further.
Thrilling me through,
One song,
My heart keeps singing,
Of one love,
As he continued to serenade her, Judith took a flower hanging from a tree branch by her balcony and placed a tender kiss on it. She softly threw it down to Nicholas below her balcony.
Only for you
The flower weightlessly managed to glide its way down to Prince Nicholas' paw, landing flat on the pad of his palm. Keeping his warm emerald gaze upon Judith, he returned the kiss on the flower, his lips soft and tender as if it had been the rabbit's own lips he had placed a kiss upon.
He sighed happily, pressing the flower against his heart. All the while his beloved smiled lovingly back at him. Her heart so full of love and joy. Judith slowly closed the curtains of her balcony, not wanting to remove her gaze from the fox and hoping to meet with him again in the future.
