A/N: Hey readers, this is WittyNumber18, formally known as LuckyNumber18A. It's been a while since I was last on fanfiction but I still love visiting and seeing the creative works of others. I have always been a huge fan of the Smurfs and have checked out the numerous fics posted here about them. My favorite story so far is the Smurfette saga by Raven Child2. Her stories have really gripped me and I was inspired to write this based off of some of the wonderful smurfette characters she created. This fic started off as just something I wrote in my spare time and shared with Raven. She suggested that I post it here on fanfiction for everyone to enjoy, so after some consideration, I agreed. I really hope that you readers enjoy this first chapter and the others to come.

P.S. Some of you readers out there are wondering when my brother Lucky will be posting new material regarding his own works. Due to his current situation, he will be unable to return to fanfiction for the time being, nonetheless I hope that my own material can keep you entertained.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Smurfs (created by Peyo), I don't own the Smurfettes (created by Raven Child2), I do own this story, and I'm proud of that.

A Ring to Remember:

It started off as a normal day in the smurf village, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the smurfs and smurfettes were out and about, doing their morning chores. This day, like most of the ones that followed before, Clumsy was out looking for something to bring home to show Klutzette. It started the day that the smurfettes had arrived in the smurf village and he had shown her one of his favorite rocks. Klutzette also had an interest in astrolithology and was fascinated by his sample of rose quartz. Ever since that day, whether it was a rock or something else of interest, Clumsy would go out to bring home something to show Klutzette so they could talk it about together. In her own house, Klutzette was tying her short hair into two pigtails, since the destruction of her village, there are only a few things that she enjoys doing, such as picking smurfberries and helping the smurfs and smurfettes with whatever work they needed to do, but the one thing she enjoyed doing the most was spending time with Clumsy. The other day, he had brought her a beautiful flower. It made her feel so special that Clumsy would do something so nice for her, and it was there and then that she realized she was starting to develop feelings for him. As she tied her hair up with her hair bands, she scrutinized her appearance in the mirror, maybe it might be nice if she did something different with her hair, or maybe she would try on some makeup. In all honesty, she had never been one to experiment with her look, yet for some reason having Clumsy around had changed that, and she was seriously considering it more and more each second. She searched through her drawers and finally found a tube of lipstick, which was the only makeup she owned. She fiddled around with it for a moment then ever so carefully, brought it to her lips. She was about to run it over her lips when there was knock on the door. This caused Klutzette to jump, and she ended up smearing the lipstick over the left side of her face. She quickly wiped it off with a napkin and rushed to answer the door, only to accidentally trip over herself and land on her face. She picked herself up and answered the door, and as expected, it was Clumsy.

"Hi Klutzette. I brought you another flower, since you liked the other one I got so much. I hope you like it.", he finished rather bashfully

Klutzette was in awe at how pretty the flower was, it looked like a pink daisy with white tipped petal. She smiled at the generous gift and held it closely, admiring it up close. Clumsy was glad that she liked it, for he had spent a lot of time looking for something he thought would impress her and to see the look on her face was all the reward he needed. Unfortunately for the two smurfs, they were not alone; Clumsy and Klutzette were being watched by the romance-despising witch, Chlorhydris. Chlorhydris hated anything do with love because of her own failure at it, but recently, she had developed an intense hatred for smurf love. The smurfs had always sickened Chlorhydris with their cheerful behavior and helpful ways, but ever since the smurfettes had appeared, the smurfs also been expressing the sort of intimate, passionate love that Chlorhydris simple couldn't tolerate. She could've cared less about where these smurfettes had come from, but what did matter to her was that these smurfettes could indirectly cause Chlorhydris's worst fear to be realized, the possibility of everlasting love. Though not immortal, the smurfs were extremely long-lived and Chlorhydris couldn't bear to imagine living in a world where the love between two individuals could outlast her own lifetime. However, rather than despair at the notion, this fueled her to accelerate her devious plans to rid the world of love, proving to the world and more importantly herself that it was indeed possible to accomplish such a feat. Watching the compassionate moment between Clumsy and Klutzette was just the fuel she needed to initiate a sinister plan.

"Pah, even those simpleton smurfs are showing… ugh, affection for one another, I must find a way to end their relationship before it becomes serious and they fall in…bleh, love with each other. But HOW? HOW?"

She again went back to staring at her crystal ball, looking for any sign of weakness that she could possibly exploit…

"Oh Clumsy, you always to find the most beautiful things..."

"Well gosh Klutzette, it's easy to find pretty things. They always manage to stand out from everything else."

"Hm, I never thought of it that way. So, would you like to stay for some tea and cookies?"

"I'm sorry Klutzette. Brainy said he needed me to help organize his books again, but maybe later okay?"

"Oh…okay."

As Clumsy ran off to meet Brainy, Klutzette stood at her doorframe, looking sadly at Clumsy. She then took the flower in her hand and almost as if talking to it said,

"I wish I was as pretty as this flower, then maybe he'd spend more time with me."

Chlorhydris grinned maliciously at this news and said in a mock sympathetic tone,

"Well, well, it seems a certain smurfette feels she isn't pretty enough. We can't have that now, can we ?"

Chlorhydris stormed over to a huge, black chest in the corner of the room and began to rummage through it, looking for something that seemed to be buried at the bottom. Finally, with great effort, she pulled out a rather large and almost completely spherical red jeweled orb. She removed her plain crystal ball from its stationary and placed the orb in its place. Once properly placed, Chlorhydris began to chant…

"Red crystal orb with great evil inside…

I command you to become a vessel of pride…

Whoever holds even the tiniest piece…

Shall great vanity and selfishness be UNLEASHED…"

With the spell complete, the red orb began to glow eerily and was followed by an audible crack. From the orb floated a perfectly cut fragment, Chlorhydris kept her concentration and as the jewel hovered obediently between her two palms, her eyes tensed and a magical glow engulfed the jewel, and in the second that followed, a tiny ring, small enough for a smurfette, had formed. Chlorhydris laughed triumphantly at her success and as though speaking to a living thing said to the ring,

"Go my dark creation. Go to where that idiot smurf will surely find you and once he slips you onto her finger, their love will surely crumble."

Chlorhydris continued her evil laughter as the ring shot out of the tower's window and flew off into the night sky.

A/N: Does anyone remember who Chlorhydris is? For those who don't know, Chlorhydris was lesser villian on the Smurfs cartoon, but was much more menacing and definitely more competent than Gargamel. So, what terrible spell has Chlorhydris set upon the unsuspecting smurfs? Stay tuned to find out in the next chapter! Also, please remember to leave reviews if you liked this story.
