AN: This is what happens when I watch Smurfs and an Aladdin episode in the same night. XD
So basically this story is inspired by the Aladdin episode "Eye of the Beholder." but that's all I can say without giving away to much of the plot. What I can say though is that yes this does take place in the "Adventures" saga world. My thoughts is that this takes place between when book 2 ended and book 3 began.
Anywho, The Smurfs, Johan and Peewit belong to Peyo
Jo belongs to CartoonCaster21
Livy belongs to me
Hope you all enjoy!
In a deep part of the woods, almost untouched by man, Chlorohydris stood in her castle fuming over here latest foiled plan.
"It was foolproof! My brilliantly evil plan was foolproof!" the wicked witch cursed to the heavens. "But those blasted teens ruined it!"
"Why do you keep persisting in torturing humanity Chlorohydris?"
The witch whipped around and scowled spotting a short little man with angel wings, and a quiver of arrows wearing nothing but a diaper, floating behind her.
"And why do you insist on tormenting ME Cupid?" Chlorohydris spat. "Your so tiresome with your annoying hopeless love obsession."
"Well, love is kinda my thing." Cupid smirked. "And on the contrary your the one who has the hopeless cause. Good shall always triumph over evil, for love is the strength of good."
Chlorohydris rolled her eyes and laughed. "Haha! 'Love is the strength of good?' Love is nothing more than a tingly feeling. It is WEAK!"
"No." Cupid said simply. "Here, look at these two." the god of love instructed. His hand glowed a light pinkish glow and he shot a blast of magic at the wall. When the blast made contact with the wall, it expanded and then showed and image of Livy and Johan walking through the castle garden.
Chlorohydris felt fury well up inside of her as she gazed at her former minion and the girl who defeated her. The two were laughing and holding hands as they talked about random subjects.
"All your spells, all your incantations, all your potions could never destroy their love." Cupid stated.
"How dare you pull your cheap parlor tricks-!?" Chlorohydris snarled whipping around, only to see that the cherub had vanished. She frowned in thought as Cupid's word's echoed in her mind. She turned back and looked at the sickening image, wishing that Cupid had removed it before he left.
"What did I do to deserve such an amazing guy like you?" Livy cooed resting her head on the squires shoulder.
"I ask myself the same thing about you." Johan said as he kissed her on the lips.
"Oh gag me with a spoon! Please!" Chlorohydris begged almost throwing up in her mouth.
The two pulled out of the kiss and just looked at each other lovingly. "Your so beautiful." Johan whispered cupping Livy's face in his hand, causing her to blush.
Chlorohydris' eyes widened at those words. An evil smile formed on her face as she suddenly got an evil idea.
"Never destroy their love huh? We'll see about that Cupid." she chuckled. The witch then waved her arms over her body and spoke a spell in a foreign language. She was engulfed in flames but when they cleared, she was no longer an ugly old hag, but now she was a beautiful young woman with long chestnut colored hair and warm brown eyes. Her dark blue robes were replaced with a white dress with a purple sash tied around the middle and a thick red cloak.
"We'll see."

The next day
"Boring! This is BORING!" Jo whined as she walked behind Livy in the busy market place.
"You could have gone for sugared dates with Johan and Peewit." Livy stated rolling her eyes at her friend.
"No way!" Jo cried. "The sugar dates booth is next to the music booth and even though I love Peewit, I don't love his music."
"Who in their right mind does?" Livy joked causing the two to laugh.
"But seriously are we done yet?" Jo whined again. "I got a new prank I wanna play on Cranky pants."
"Hasn't Dame Barbra suffered enough?" Livy asked.
"Nope."
Livy sighed and rolled her eyes and decided to try to ignore her friend. She looked around at the familiar booths until a particular one being run by a woman with chestnut colored hair, brown eyes, wearing a white dress, red cloak and purple sash. "Lets check this booth out."
Jo groaned loudly in protest but reluctantly followed.
"Hello my children." The woman said in a warm silky voice. "See anything that interests you? Perhaps something to enhance your radiant beauty."
"Were just browsing." Livy said politely. "You know, I don't remember seeing you around her before."
"That's odd. This is where I always sell my products." The woman replied.
"I'm gonna go somewhere interesting." Jo announced after glancing through the things for sale and only seeing them as beauty products, which appealed to her as much as watching paint dry. "Perhaps I'll walk on some hot coals barefoot or eat rusty nails." she added under her breath as she left.
"Perhaps some rare and exotic rose petals." The woman said holding the petals uncomfortably close to Livy's face. "Your kiss will win any man you choose."
Livy blushed slightly and moved the hand away. "I have already chosen a wonderful man."
"Ah! A young man for the young lady!" the woman exclaimed happily, taking Livy's hands in hers. "How wonderful. I'm sure he loves you very much."
"Yes he does." Livy couldn't help but smile, taking her hands back. She turned to leave not seeing anything of much interest to her but something the sales woman said stopped Livy dead in her tracks.
"He probably doesn't even notice those dark circles under your eyes."
Livy's eyes grew wide and she put a hand to her face. "Dark circles?"
"Under your eyes child. A black as night." the sales woman said pulling up and mirror and showing Livy her reflection. Livy frowned as indeed she did have some dark circles under her eyes.
"I-I was up late last night and didn't get a lot of sleep." She explained flustered.
"It's a fact pf life my dear. The pretty face of youth doesn't always stay with us." The woman sighed. "And then the man we love wants another pretty face."
Livy was shocked at first but then shook her head. "Well Johan's not like that. He loves me for me."
"Hmm perhaps. But can you be sure?" the woman asked as she held up a fancy looking bottle. "I have a very special lotion that I use each night. When I awake in the morning my beauty is flawless."
"Well I don't-"
"Take the lotion my dear," the woman said as she stuck the bottle in Livy's bag. "No charge."
Livy bit her lip and looked down at the lotion. Well it was free.
"Livy!"
The brunette looked and saw her three friends not to far off waving to her, letting her know it was time to go.
"I guess I don't have much choice." Livy thought before turning to the woman. "Thank you." she said as she ran to catch up to her friends.
"No trouble my dear." the woman called after her waving. "No trouble at all."

Later that afternoon Livy and Johan were once again walking through the castle gardens. Johan reached out to one of the bushes and plucked a rose. "For you M'lady."
Livy blushed and took the rose in her hand smiling fondly at it. "That woman from the market was wrong. I don't need some silly lotion to make Johan love me. He already does love me. Just the way I am."
"I've loved you since the moment I saw your beautiful face."
Livy snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the squire dumb founded. "You...You love me for my beauty?"
Johan raised an eyebrow confused. "Well it's one of the reasons why I love you, yes." He said awkwardly.
Livy's smile fell and she looked down at the rose worriedly.
"Is something the matter Livy?" Johan asked growing concerned.
"I-I just...I'm not feeling well suddenly." Livy lied and hurriedly made her way inside, leaving behind a very confused Johan.

Later that night Livy sat at her vanity staring at her reflection. She had never really paid much attention to her looks. Sure she'd occasionally wear makeup but not all the time. She had never thought of herself as ugly no...but not exactly pretty either.
"And then the man we love wants another pretty face." the woman's words echoed in her mind. Livy glanced at the bottle of lotion that was still in her bag.
"Well...what could it hurt?" she reasoned as she got up and snatched the bottle from her bag. She lathered her whole body with the lotion, climbed into bed, curled under the covers, blew out the candle and within minutes fell asleep.
And that's the prolouge for you. Hope you all enjoy this story and the next chapter of this, along with "A Knight's Tale" will be out soon.
