What happens after the HEA?

I have always believed in HEA - happily ever after. I think it is part of the American culture, at least the one that little girls grew up with.

The thing is, I've always wondered about what happens after the HEA?
  • Did Cinderella have an incredible life with Prince Charming after he whisked her away and married her or were the kids spoiled brats?
  • Did Snow White let Prince Charming kiss her again or did he send her to the dentist because she had halitosis?
  • Did Red Riding Hood secretly wear a fur coat, stroke it and gloat?
I think each of us actually is granted at least one HEA in our lifetimes.  There is a condition on it; we are required freeze that moment in time as proof that it can and does happen.  It is the what happens next that isn't always so clear.

Just something to ponder.
