There's a sci-fi story I know of with two endings, and the "normal" one ends with:

"And he lived happily ever after."

From the context in the story that is actually super creepy and depressing.

The other ending is much more upbeat, despite including a few billion deaths.

Edit:
I already spoiled the endings, but if you want to read it, it's This.
