Grumpy's Bones

This is Gettin' Ridiculous!

Grumpy, although he still couldn't move, really felt like punching Doc in the face as the leader dwarf was talking about his anger problems. All Grumpy could do, though, was sulk in his bed.

"So, please," said Doc, "stop declining our phone calls without warning!"

"Fine, whatever," said Grumpy.

Doc took a glance at Grumpy, then continued.

"Listen, I know we're all gettin' older by the second, and, uh, I've melt, er, dealt with the bone problem before. It'll all be over soon, it just seems to gome and co, er, come and go. You understand?" said Doc.

Grumpy looked at the ground, then met with Doc's eyes. Grumpy thought about the things Doc said.

'It'll gome and co- AGH! Now he's got me doin' it! Ugh, come and go,' thought Grumpy.

Snow White had come into the room at that moment.

"Oh, pardon me," said Snow White, "I believe it's time for Grumpy's evening pill."

She pulled out a giant pill, about the size of her own torso. Grumpy had gulped at the sight of it.

"Snow, you know how much I hate that pill, girl-!"

Grumpy could only be interrupted by the pill being forced into his mouth, of course forcing him to swallow the whole thing.

"I'm sorry, Grumpy," apologized Snow, "I really had to. It was Dr. Z's orders."

Grumpy had reached for a glass of water, before feeling a very sharp pain in his wrist. He could only let out a cry of pain.

"Oh dear! Grumpy! Help, somebody help him!" Snow White could only shout.

"Quick, someone call Z!" pleaded Doc.

When the other dwarfs went into the room, all they could do was panic. Finally, Dopey got a hold of Dr. Z.

. . .

Dr. Z came into the room to make an official diagnosis.

"Grumpy, I believe... Oh, congratulations! You've been diagnosed with gay- wait, wrong diagnosis- seems this was handed to me by accident," said Dr. Z, "Ah, looks like you have a fractured wrist."

"What?! This is just gettin' too ridiculous!" complained Grumpy, "I DON'T WANT NO MORE OF THIS!"

"Grumpy, calm down, this is only temporary," assured Doc.

Grumpy could only sulk more on his bed as Z did some tests.

. . .

Grumpy grumbled as Dopey fooled around, who was trying to entertain the cranky dwarf. He did a few flips and juggled balls, but nothing seemed to amuse Grumpy a tiny bit. Dopey made some silly faces at Grumpy, but at that point, Grumpy wanted to slap him, but he literally couldn't. Dopey frowned and simply walked away, frustrated at Grumpy's behavior.

'Ah, finally, peace and quiet,'thought Grumpy.

Grumpy then heard Dopey trip over a few cracks in the floor, knocking down a few shelves.

"Ugh, when are we gonna replace those floorboards?" Grumpy thought aloud before getting crushed by the shelves.

. . .

Grumpy woke up to find Snow White crying, with Florian and Doc comforting her. Grumpy had once again found himself in the familiar hospital room, yet this time, he was covered in a full-body cast. Snow, in tears, has noticed Grumpy's awakening.

"Oh, Grumpy, you're finally awake!" Snow White cried, before gently hugging her surrogate father.

Grumpy could only smile in comfort as Snow hugged him. Dr. Z shortly interrupted the heartwarming moment as he walked in. Grumpy, instead of getting frustrated, looked at Z to continue what he was about to say.

"So, you basically just woke up from a 3-day coma."

Grumpy almost shot up in his bed.

"W-WHAT?! B-But how- I, uh! This is gettin'... AGH!" Grumpy could only sputter nonsense.

"I'm afraid that's what it was. I understand that this is a very shocking moment for you, but if it makes you feel better, you have a few visitors," comforted Dr. Z, and went into the waiting room. The other dwarfs were waiting there solemnly for Grumpy to wake up. Dopey only sat there in regret of what he caused to Grumpy in the past few weeks.

"Grumpy's awake, you may come in."

All of the dwarfs shot up in pure joy, however, Dopey still sat there, at least glad that Grumpy is finally awake, but still ashamed at what he did. They all ran quickly into the hospital room where Grumpy lay, getting ready to hug the everlasting daylights out of him, before all at once being held back by Doc and Prince Florian.

"Okay, men, settle down," said Doc, "we need to be core mareful, er, more careful with Grumpy! His bones bar woken, er, his bones are broken, and he just woke up!"

Everyone backed away from Grumpy.

"Am I going to get him sick?" asked Sneezy.

"No, no!" Dr. Z chuckled, "Just because he woke up doesn't mean that he's not immune to sickness anymore. Just cover remember to always cover your mouth when you sneeze, you need work on that."

"But you don't understand, they're all too mighty powerful to cover!" replied Sneezy.

"What I understand is that if you worry about that, then get out of the room!"

Sneezy stood there, gulping.

"That's what I thought," said Dr. Z, almost bitterly.

The dwarfs, this time slowly, went up to Grumpy's bed

"Heya, Grumpy," greeted Happy, "I hope you're not feelin' too bad..."

Grumpy looked at the jolly dwarf as if he were the daftest man in the world.

"Oh, well, hopefully, you'll get outta here as soon as possible!" Happy assured.

"Eh, thanks for the advice..." Grumpy half-heartedly thanked.

Grumpy heard some snoring and, of course, it was because Sleepy had been resting after finally seeing Grumpy awake after waiting 3 days. Grumpy, surprisingly, smirked to himself, despite always being impatient with the tired dwarf. He took a closer look at his fellow friends. He noticed that they seemed to all have cried at one point for him, and they looked like they were about to again. Grumpy gave a look at Snow White. She immediately understood, and stood up.

"Group hug!" Snow cried.

Everyone, including Dr. Z, gathered around to hug Grumpy, at the same time being careful not to hurt him, and all crying tears of joy.
