WHO: Snow White and You
WHERE: Network
WHEN: Late March
WHAT: Anna has to go back to Europe and Snow finds out she actually has a MASSIVE family
WARNINGS: Past trauma?

[In the background are seven men, all with various lengths of white beards (though one doesn't have one at all). Some are massively well built, some are portly, the one without the beard is as scrawny as can be. They've all got various boxes in arm, on their shoulders, or are pushing a dolly or lifting furniture.

They're talking to Anna and Snow dips out from the room to move into the stairwell of the apartment building.]

Oh ah- I just wanted to let everyone know I won't be living with my cousin Anna anymore if you wish to visit me.

I... well... it seems I do have a much larger family than I ever knew! I will be living with my seven uncles, now. I didn't even know I had seven uncles.

Apparently my stepmother had legally prevented them from seeing me, they're my mother.. my actual mother's brothers. [But now Grimhilde is dead and all of her restrictions are slowly falling away. Snow's face is hard to read.]

I haven't seen the new house, yet, but they've made a room for me and everything and want all my friends to visit when they can.

[All seven will be coming to fill out forms at school, have fun with that, Kaisou High.]

Wow, that’s rally great news, Snow. I didn’t know that you actually have relatives on your birth mother’s side until now. Glad that they have stepped in to look after you these days.

It is! I just... [She... She doesn't know what to think. Suddenly she has seven uncles, not just her father's brother. She has such a giant family and she was never allowed to see... any of them.] They have pictures of holding me when I was just born at the hospital. I... never actually ever got to see pictures of my mother all that much.

[She smiles gently.] I look just like her except for my hair color. She was a bright blonde.

[phoenixwiz]

They must be some of the best people around. I might get a chance to see them whenever I come by their house someday.

Whoa! You got a near resemblance to your mother. That is pretty amazing. I have loads of people telling me that I resemble a lot like my Dad quite a lot, down to even the eyes, except for the hair color since I got my Mom’s brown hair instead of his red hair.

[onebadapple]

I didn't even know. I wasn't allowed to ask about my birth mother. [Not that Grimhilde had a motherly bone in her body, but she was also incredibly possessive. Even about what she hated.]

I got my black hair from my father, though he always told me my mother wished for my black hair.

[phoenixwiz]

Oh dear. I am very sorry that you weren’t able to ask much about her for a long time. That must be hard not getting to know her more. Maybe your uncles can try to fill you in about what they have known of her.

[He likes Anna, but hearing that Snow has got even closer family, family who clearly WANT her so much in their lives is so good to hear. He really needed to see SOMEONE get a win this month, and this is very heartening.]

That's great, Snow! I'm really happy for you! Man, that's gonna be one heck of a houseful.

I... it is... it feels... it feels so surreal.

I didn't... know... I didn't even know I had them. She never told me.

I don't want to cry in front of them, I don't want them to think I'm unhappy about THEM! I just... I feel overwhelmed to know I suddenly have more family.

[droptheious]

Thaaaaat doesn't surprise me.

[Grimhilde hiding Snow's family from her- especially family who WANTED her. He realises he's probably never gonna stop being mad about that woman and what she did to someone he deeply cares about.]

I think they'll know that you've got happy tears, Snow. That makes a big difference.

[onebadapple]

You do? I think I've lost count of all the happy tears of late. [She wipes her eyes.] Do you know what they did when they first saw me, Varian? They hugged me so tight, one giant group hug. Even Uncle Sigmund who they swore up and down didn't do something like that and hugged me.

Anna gives amazing hugs, but I was surrounded on all sides by a hug. I've never felt that even once before.

[droptheious]

Those are the kinds of tears you...you should be losing count of, Snow.

[Oh. That's...really sweet to hear. His expression softens.]

Those are the best kinds of hugs, huh? Like...knowing just how many people really, really love you. I'm so happy for you. Really.

[God knows he could use some GOOD news right now.]

you got so many uncles now! that's awesome!

[Seriously, Snow deserves having a big family after everything. He's hoping they're nice people, too.]

[onebadapple]

They want to meet all my friends. Uncle Felix scooped me up in his arms and spun me the moment he saw me.

I've never been hugged like that before.

[laminae]

[Oh wow.]

that's um
that's really great!
i definitely wanna meet him and all your other uncles

[onebadapple]

And they'll definitely want to meet you! You are one of my friends, after all!

[laminae]

hah, right
so what's your new place like?

[composalvation]

[Oh, it's that one really sweet girl she talked to a while back... there's something that chews at the back of Kanade's mind at the mention of her stepmother, something that makes the feathers on her new wings rustle, but she's not stupid. She knows not to touch on a subject like that.]

seven uncles...
it sounds like you're going to be moving to quite a rowdy place

Text;

[onebadapple]

I will take a rowdy home over a silent one. I've never felt a hug so warm besides Anna's!

[findingways]

Oh wow, that's awesome! It's great that you have so many people who care about you.

Hey, maybe once you're all moved in, we can have a party to celebrate. I mean, if it's all right with your uncles.

[onebadapple]

Oh! Moana! you have to come over and meet them all! They're so kind and sweet. Uncle Almos has even traveled to Hawaii for several performances. He's played the clarinet and flute in several orchestras.

They already have a welcome home party planned for me! Isn't that... isn't that wonderful? A party, for me! Can you believe it?

[findingways]

Yeah, I'd definitely love to meet them! They seem like a lot of fun, and I'd love to talk to your Uncle Almos about Hawaiian music and his trips.

That's great! You definitely deserve to have a party.

[onebadapple]

It's... it's a little overwhelming, to be honest! [She really wished Moana didn't keep seeing her cry, even as these were happy tears.] It's... [She wipes away the tears and is laughing and smiling but crying, too.]

Seven uncles... and a sweet loving cousin... and... and all of you.

[schrodingersghost]

That's great, Snow! And just think of how many birthday and Christmas presents you're going to get now.

[onebadapple]

They're all my missed Christmas and birthday gifts wrapped in seven men. I'm just grateful to have them. You will come to my welcome home party, won't you, Danny?

[schrodingersghost]

Of course I will. [He says this warmly.] I'll look forward to it.

[onebadapple]

I'll tell you the date once I'm more settled! How is everything going for you?
