As the dwarves and 1 human got out of the mine, they went to the castle so that Empathy could apologize to the queen for trying to steal her prized Delightful Diamond (yes, the sparkly-warkly one).
Queen Delightful: The 7D, Random-Person! (Ah, crap. Here we go again.)
Lord Starchbottom: I-I believe you mean "Empathy," your highness.
Delightful: Oh, right! It's great to see you again, Empathy! Are you still interested in joining the Jollypalooza concert, which is still in a week from now?
Empathy: Actually, Queen Delightful...
Em glanced over at her idols, who all gave her encouraging looks.
Empathy: I would love to be part of the concert.
Delightful: YAYSIES!!! (hugs Empathy)

Empathy: (returns the hug) Also, there's something I've been meaning to tell you... or sing to you.
They ended their hug so that Empathy could say what she's gotta say... or sing, since Happy begin playing on his guitar as she started busting into a song.
Empathy: 🎵I watched the proverbial sunrise, coming up over the Pacific and you might think I'm losing my mind, but I will shy away from the specifics. 'Cause I don't want you to know, where I am, 'cause then you'll see my heart in the saddest state it's ever been. This is no place to try and live my life. Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it! See that line, well, I never should have crossed it! Stop right there, well I never should have said that it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back! I'm sorry for the person I became, I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change. I'm ready to try and never become that way again 'cause who I am hates who I've been, who I am hates who I've been.🎵
Bashful: Can we join along?

Empathy: Be my guests.
Bashful: 🎵I talk to absolutely no one, couldn't keep to myself enough.🎵
Sneezy: 🎵And the things bottled inside have finally begun to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up and...🎵
Sleepy: 🎵I heard the reverberating footsteps sinking up to the beating of my heart, and I was positive that unless I got myself together, I would watch me fall apart!🎵
Dopey: (whistles 🎵And I can't let that happen again, 'cause then you'll see my heart in the saddest state it's ever been!🎵)
Happy: 🎵This is no place to try and live my life!🎵
Doc: 🎵Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it. See that line, well, I never should have crossed it.🎵
Grumpy: 🎵Stop right there, well I never should have said that it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.🎵
Bowtie and Flowerpot: 🎵Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it! See that line, well, I never should have crossed it! Stop right there, well I never should have said that it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back!🎵 (YES!!! 😆 💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜)
Empathy: 🎵I'm sorry for the person I became, I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change! I'm ready to try and never become that way again 'cause who I am hates who I've been, who I am hates who I've been!🎵
Sneezy: 🎵Who she is hates who she's been and who she is will take the second chance you gave her!🎵
Happy: 🎵Who she is hates who she's been 'cause who she's been only ever made her!🎵
Empathy: 🎵So sorry for the person I became, so sorry that it took so long for me to change!🎵
The 7D: 🎵She's ready to be sure to become that way again 'cause who she is hates who she's been!🎵
Empathy: 🎵Who I am hates who I've been.🎵
