Cut to a day later, on a beautiful afternoon we see the exterior of the castle in the west side of the slightly enchanted forest as church bells can be heard off screen. Then zoomed in towards and fade into the great hall where Snow White and Pierre are officially married by the archbishop, play by The Baron from "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!), while Sally and the people of the now unified kingdom cheer in jubilation of not just the marriage of their new king and queen but also the end of Lucy's dark reign.

Townspeople: (shouting in jubilation)

Peppermint Patty and Marcie stand proudly while Frieda cry on Peppermint Patty's shirt. (It's happy tears)

The retired kings watch with satisfaction that their children are married and their respective kingdoms are unified.

Charlie Brown [voice over]: And so, with Queen Lucy bite the dust, you may say, Snow White and Prince Pierre was married and their wedding was held with great pomp and  splendor.

Cut to the peanuts, they watched with contentment knowing that Snow White is safe and happy with her new king.

Charlie Brown [voice over]: As for the dwarfs, after the wedding they was honorably knighted by Queen Snow White for their kindness and bravery. Although they're be sad to see their friend go but deep inside their hearts are contented that she's safe and happy with King Pierre and they won't trade anything else for it.

During the wedding reception, everyone got together to sing the final song of the story, "Happiness" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Snow White (spoken): I'm so happy and I want to thank all of you.

Charlie Brown (spoken): Anytime, Sn- -. I mean, your majesty.

Rerun (spoken): We're going to miss you.

Linus (spoken): Although we may be departed from one another, we all know deep inside that we're contented that you're safe and happy with your king.

Schroeder, Shemy, Franklin, Pig-Pen, and Snoopy nods in agreement.

Snow White (spoken): Oh... thank you everyone. Being with you all feels like... Happiness.

(The cast filters out, waving "good night" to Snow White and Pierre, but Charlie Brown and Linus stays,
and stands in silence for a moment before Linus finally saying:)

LINUS:
She's truly is the fairest maiden of them all, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown nodded in agreement as he and Linus leaves as the newlyweds smiles, waving "goodbye" to their friends.  Snow White and Pierre wave back at their new friends before passionately kisses one another as the lights go down ending the pitch.

Back at the executive office, Charlie Brown on the 90th page concludes his pitch to Brian.

Charlie Brown: And they all lived happily ever after. Well what do you think, Mr. Robbins, like my pitch?

Brian:  No, I don't like it.

Charlie Brown felt disappointed at first and about to leave the office until the studio executive uttered the words:

Brian:  I love it!

Charlie Brown looks dumbfounded by the executive's words at first and soon realizes that the latter is very serious about it and gives a victorious smile.

Brian:  Charlie, I was skeptical at first. But after hearing your take on a classic story. I was mind blown by your creativity as a writer. When can you start production?

Charlie Brown: Next week.

Brian:  Great. Good luck and remember: watch the budget and make this one of the fairest tv movie of all and... have fun.

A thankful Charlie Brown leaves the office as he about to make preparations for his tv movie adaptation of Snow White.

Charlie Brown:  Thank you, thank you, Mr. Robbins.  I'll won't let you down. This will be one of my greatest masterpieces yet, bank on it.

He firmly close the door.

In the hallway Charlie Brown laughing hysterically with joy as his dream of making the film he wanna make have come to fruition.
