The story ENDS when the prince wakes the princess up with a kiss. This did not happen in his reality. His fairy tale day started when he kissed his princess and woke her up from her sleep. It ended when she told him not to be sad that she already has another prince she truly loves; then follows this statement up with a bittersweet embrace that lasted only an eternal second long.
The story ENDS when the princess succeeds in making the prince realize that the new woman he's with is not the mermaid he was supposed to catch. This did not happen in her reality. In truth, the prince is not interested in catching just one fish. She was not the princess. She's just a pretty puny fish placed among all those other elegant gilled-creatures in his aquarium.
The story ENDS when the princess marries her prince - her first and only love. This did not happen in her reality. She thought that her relationship with this guy was already pretty long and was strong enough to weather any storm. Little did she know that a relationship's strength does not entirely depend on the length of time they've been a couple. The miles did not only create distance. It created gap.
The story ENDS when the prince busts the door open at the last minute and saves the princess from hopelessness. This did not happen in her reality. Standing by the door every single day became a part of her daily activity. Hope drives her to think that any day might be the day of her prince's arrival. It got her collecting patience in an imaginary jar made of imaginary tears.
Fairy-tales are placed under fictional stories for a reason.
