**[Scene: Jollywood Castle — wedding day chaos]**
Jollywood Castle glows with celebration.
Golden ribbons flutter from every tower. Musicians play triumphant wedding music in the courtyard while Happy was orchestrated. Guests laugh beneath sparkling banners while servants rush back and forth carrying cakes, flowers, and enough glitter to permanently alter the kingdom’s ecosystem.
In her changing room, Queen Delightful wore her platinum-blonde hair in a curly hip-length French braid. She was dressed in an off-shoulder baby pink fishtail gown with short, opaque cap sleeves, a V-shaped waistline and reddish-pink kitten heels, accessorized with a golden yellow tiara/light pink veil, along with turquoise teardrop dangle earrings and a matching necklace with 5 teardrop-shaped gems.
In his changing room, Starchbottom wore a cream-yellow button-up shirt beneath an olive-green tuxedo with mid-length coattails and a kiwi green bowtie, a brownish-black cummerbund, and matching oxford shoes with black laces. He completed the look with an olive green top hat featuring a teal band and a matching teal boutonnière.
He was nervously straightening any wrinkles in his tuxedo and bowtie, all while trying and failing to keep his cool. Starchy never thought he would get married, let alone get married to the Queen of Jollywood. So he gives himself a pep talk,
Starchbottom: (straightens his bowtie and takes a deep breath) All right, Starchy. You've handled dragons, royal disasters, and years of Queen Delightful's wonderfully unpredictable ideas. You can handle one little wedding. Besides... somewhere along the way, you fell in love with the sweetest, most delightfully scatterbrained queen in the kingdom.
(Then straightens his hat.)
Starchbottom: You're not just marrying the Queen of Jollywood... you're marrying the love of your life.
A massive shadow slowly rolls across the sky.
One by one, guests begin noticing the darkness overhead.
Guest: Is that... weather?
Doc: That is not normal weather.
A deep rumble shakes the ground hard enough to rattle the castle windows.
One wedding cake tips sideways dramatically before a servant catches it at the last second.
Lightning tears across the clouds.
The storm twists violently overhead like the sky itself is being ripped open.
Two enormous shapes emerge from the darkness.
Eyes glowing with magical fury.
Towering scales crackling with dark energy.
Hildy Gloom and Grim Gloom have transformed into gigantic mega-dragons.
The entire kingdom freezes in horror.
Hildy (roaring): FINALLY! POWER FIT FOR A QUEEN!
Grim (echoing): AND A KING!
The dragons circle the castle, unleashing blasts of dark magic that twist banners into knots, bend towers sideways, and send wedding decorations flying in every direction.
Confetti explodes accidentally into the storm like festive panic.
Inside the castle, chaos erupts instantly.
Guests duck beneath tables.
Royal guards scramble in every direction.
Someone runs past carrying three flower arrangements and screaming.
Queen Delightful stands firm despite the panic around her.
She stares upward through the shattered ceiling windows, shocked—but determined.
Queen Delightful: Not on my wedding day...
Lord Starchbottom nervously straightens his bowtie while trying very hard to appear composed.
Lord Starchbottom: This is... not ideal.
Another explosion shakes the castle.
He immediately runs towards Queen Delightful (without looking at her dress) and shields her.
[Scene: Forest edge outside Jollywood]
A lone figure appears at the tree line.
But not the same Bashful who left.
His movements are steady now. Focused. Calm in a way that feels earned instead of forced.
The golden-furred magical kitten pops out of his beard, watching the burning sky with glowing green eyes.
Bashful stares at the kingdom in shock.
Smoke rises above the towers.
Dark magic crackles across the clouds.
Screams echo faintly in the distance.
Bashful: ...So that’s what the smoke was.
He rips off the top portion of his hat.
He tears away his shoulder sleeves, turning them into elbow-length fingerless gloves.
He unties his red poncho and fastens it into a flowing cape.
The wind shifts dramatically around him.
Bashful: No more running.
The air suddenly surges with energy.
His expression sharpens instantly.
Confidence replaces hesitation.
Fear burns away into determination.
Big Bash: The Big Bash is back!
The kitten meows proudly—
Then suddenly glows with golden magic.
Its tiny form rapidly transforms into a powerful jaguar with glowing markings shaped like suns.
Big Bash: Now that’s new.
The jaguar lowers itself.
Big Bash leaps onto its back.
Big Bash: Heigh-ho Sunny, away!
The mega-dragons dive toward the castle.
Dark magic blasts through the air—
A golden yellow blur rockets across the battlefield.
Big Bash: HEY! OVERGROWN LIZARDS!!
A magical blast fires toward him.
Big Bash flips sideways off the jaguar midair, narrowly dodging the explosion before landing perfectly again.
Big Bash: You picked the wrong wedding!
The jaguar sprints up the side of a collapsing tower with impossible agility.
Chunks of stone fall away beneath them.
They launch directly toward the dragons.
[Scene: Inside castle — the 7D assemble]
The remaining dwarfs watch the battle from a shattered castle window.
Happy: The Big Bash is out there alone?!
Grumpy: He picked the worst timing for hero mode.
Doc: Then we assist scientifically!
Sleepy: Can we assist after a nap?
Dopey: heroic excited whistling
Another explosion shakes the room.
Happy points dramatically toward the battlefield.
Happy: LET’S GO HELP HIM!
The dwarfs charge out together.
Sleepy somehow falls asleep for three seconds while running.
[Scene: Sky battle — chaos intensifies]
The battle over Jollywood becomes absolute chaos.
Lightning crashes through the clouds.
Dark magic spirals across the sky.
The dragons unleash a massive shockwave that rattles the kingdom.
Big Bash and the jaguar barely dodge it.
Big Bash: Okay... they got bigger.
The jaguar suddenly leaps upward and releases a powerful magical pulse from its glowing markings.
The blast disrupts the dragons’ spell midair.
Dark magic flickers violently.
The jaguar roars proudly.
But Grim and Hildy recover far too quickly.
Grim (roaring): YOU CANNOT STOP US!
Hildy: JOLLYWOOD BELONGS TO THE GLOOMS!
The dragons unleash another devastating wave of magic.
Big Bash blocks falling debris with his staff while protecting civilians below.
Even he begins struggling against the overwhelming power.
[Scene: Reinforcements arrive]
A familiar whistle echoes across the battlefield.
The rest of The 7D arrive.
Happy: Big Bash! You’re not alone!
Doc: We’ve calculated a group strategy!
Sleepy: I calculated a nap earlier...
Dopey: determined whistling
The dwarfs leap into action immediately.
Happy distracts the dragons with impossible optimism.
Grumpy smashes unstable debris before it crushes civilians.
Doc redirects magical currents using improvised scientific nonsense.
Sleepy accidentally snores loudly enough to disrupt a spell circle.
And Dopey somehow launches himself from a catapult wagon and crashes directly into Grim’s nose.
[Final confrontation — sky above Jollywood]
The storm spirals violently overhead as dark magic and light collide.
Big Bash looks around at his friends fighting beside him.
For the first time, he doesn’t feel alone.
Not because his heartbreak vanished.
But because he finally understands something bigger than it.
The fairy’s words echo faintly in his mind.
"Love is not possession."
Big Bash tightens his grip on his staff.
The dwarfs combine their efforts together, creating a massive counter-wave of harmony against the Glooms’ chaos.
Light erupts through the storm.
Big Bash and the jaguar leap directly into the center of it.
He channels everything he learned:
A massive burst of combined rainbow-colored energy explodes outward across the sky.
The mega-dragons are engulfed in brilliant light.
The storm vanishes completely.
Sunlight pours back across Jollywood.
Hildy and Grim crash into a tangled pile of enchanted vines and groan.
Hildy: This is all your fault!
Grim: My fault?! You're the one who wanted to become giant dragons!
Hildy: And who added extra dragon teeth to the potion?!
Grim: I thought it would make us extra dragon-y!
Hildy: Well, it made us extra defeated!
The guards surround them.
Grim: Worst wedding ever.
Grim: We didn't even get cake.
[Scene: Castle courtyard]
The musicians cautiously resume playing.
Someone finishes throwing confetti several minutes too late.
Queen Delightful approaches the dwarfs warmly.
Queen Delightful: You all saved Jollywood.
Lord Starchbottom adjusts his outfit, trying desperately to recover his dignity.
Lord Starchbottom: I handled that remarkably well.
A nearby guest stares at him.
Guest: You hid inside a cake cart.
Lord Starchbottom: Strategically.
Nearby, Big Bash slowly relaxes.
Big Bash (quietly): ...Maybe I didn’t waste the journey after all.
The rest of The 7D gather around him proudly.
Happy: You did good, Big Bash.
Grumpy: Don’t get used to it.
Sleepy: Is it nap time now?
Doc: Heroically speaking, that was exceptional teamwork.
Big Bash chuckles softly.
Then glances toward the wedding decorations.
Toward the life he thought he wanted.
And for the first time...
He steps backward toward the forest.
Big Bash: Gotta go. Someone’s waiting for you near the entrance.
He gives a confident wink—
Then rides off into the forest atop the glowing jaguar as the wind catches his cape dramatically behind him.
The others watch him disappear into the trees.
Sleepy: Winkers! What are we going to do now that the castle is half-destroyed?
Doc: Together, we can rebuild—
Suddenly, Bashful (AKA the big bash) comes running in with the kitten on his shoulder. He was wearing a lime and pear green striped tuxedo with a light olive green bow tie, a vermillion boutonnière, pear green dress pants, and cedar brown loafers.
Bashful: Guys! I'm here! (panting)
(He looks around at the courtyard.)
Bashful: (feigning surprise) Whoa! What did I miss?
Notes: Bashful riding on the kitten/jaguar is a reference to Maya & the Three, with the titular character having a giant battle cat and often accompanies his masters into battle
• Big Bash’s new design is a nod to @viarbarakit’s version
• Queen Delightful’s earrings are nearly similar to the earrings she wore as her persona, Lotta Glamour
• Bashful shouting “Heigh-ho Sunny, away!” is a obvious reference to The Lone Ranger
