In a good fairy tale, SOMETHING has to happen before everyone 'lives happily ever after'. The better the story, the more SOMETHINGs. It would absolutely SUCK if you paid a few bucks for a book only to find that on the first page it said "Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after" and the rest of the book was blank.
Don't get pissed off with your story just because you've hit a SOMETHING. It could make the happy ever after even better...
