Frostforge44: And the best Fake Death followed by an Ambush award goes to...Gutsy Smurf! Congratulations!

Gutsy: (looks shocked and approaches the stage as everyone cheers) (he takes his award-which looks like a golden Smurf-and turns to the crowd) Thank ye, thank ye. Dis, dis is an honor, truly. First off I'd like te thank de academy-

Me: (shoves him offstage) Okay! Okay! That's enough. We don't have all day. (turns to the readers) Hey everyone. First off I am so, so SO sorry that this story hasn't been updated in almost a month. I didn't realize that it had been so long...I'll be honest and admit I sorta forgot about this story. (blush) Well not forgot exactly but I was focusing on my other stories more and I kept pushing this one on the back burner until now, but I'm back and with a new chapter. So with that I ask for your forgiveness and proceed to respond to the reviews.

FrostForge44: Hope you didn't mind being our Oscar host for this AN. XD I know, it is weird that they would have a bunch of sports equipment lying around...what's even reader still is that since this movie takes place in Medeival times then a lot of those sports haven't been invented yet.

Fan de Basil de Baker Street: I'm glad you thought Gutsy was funny. In my own personal opinion I think that Puffin's "death" could have been done a whole lot better in the movie. I mean he just fell out of the tree and stared at his "blood" covered wing and then went rigamortis. So I figured that I'd let Gutsy put his acting skills to the test. ;) LOL I know. Poor Peewit. x)

Bumble Bee: The Ember Island players?...OMG! ANOTHER AVATAR FAN! (tackles you in a hug) Sorry about that but aside from three of my friends I don't know anyone else who's a fan of that show so I'm excited about that. ^^; but anyway yes Livy and Johan are back together again...but for how long?

DUN DUN DUN! (evil smile)

FrittzyCrazy: Well that's the first time that anyone's told my that I rock so thanks! :D

The-Ghost-Cat-of-Arkansas: LOL Well Gutsy might have to disagree with you about him needing acting lessons considering the fact that he won an Oscar and all. XP

Random Junk 13: I'm glad you liked that scene and the brownies

Kastella: I know, but Peewit deserved it for scaring that poor little mouse in the first place. XD

Callister the Great: GUTSY! (smacks the Scottish Smurf upside the head) Watch your mouth!

CartoonCaster21: Hahaha well you and Jo are more than welcome to take a mallet to Balthazar but if you could be so kind as to wait until this story is done. We still unfortunately need him alive for the big battle later. XP

Chloe: I hope the smurfs weren't causing you any trouble when that thing crashed. XD I'm glad you liked the chapter. :)

Zinka17: I knew that you especially would be happy when Johan and Livy were reunited...But for how long?

DUN DUN DUN!

Me: Who keeps playing that music?

Thomas: (conducting the band) I thought it made for dramatic effect.

Me: -_- …...Anywho I'm glad that Gutsy's death scene was such a big hit. x)

Cloudsword: Well I actually found a script for the movie online so that's why everything is word for word but I'm glad you like this and I got a new reader. I'm also glad you looked me up too and I hope to see more reviews from you. :)

The Crystal Rose: Thank you so much. :)

I do not own any of the smurfs Johan or Peewit. They belong to Peyo

The swan princess belongs to Nest Productions

I only own Livy and Thomas.

Enjoy!

"Livy! Didn't you hear me calling?"

Livy whipped around to face Balthazar and hid her locket behind her back.

"I...I..." She stuttered wracking her brain for a believable answer but nothing would come to her.

"I thought I heard...voices?" Balthazar said as he peered in the bushes, just barley missing seeing Brainy who had jumped and hid behind a frog before he could be caught."

"Voices?" Livy asked playing dumb.

"Yes voices."

"W-Well I...I..." Livy stuttered again still trying to think of something.

"You what?" Balthazar snapped getting annoyed.

"I-I-I-I've decided to become your queen." she said. The smurfs heard this and let out a collective gasp.

"Has she gone smurfy?" Lazy asked barely above a whisper. Brainy was so shocked that he suddenly stiffened and fainted.

"No! You mean?..."

Livy nodded her head, a little to stiffly.

"Ha Ha! Livy, Livy you've made me so happy!" Balthazar cheered. "I'll be a good king you'll see. I'll wear nice clothes and I'll get my beard trimmed."

While Balthazar was cheering Livy turned to the smurfs, who were looking at her like she had completely lost her mind, and winked at them letting them know that she was lying. The smurfs sighed with relief at this.

"Oh! Oh! You've made me so happy Livy!" Balthazar repeated as he stopped his victory dance and turned to her. "By the way you wouldn't happen to know who this belongs to do you?"

Balthazar reached into his cloak and pulled out Johan's bow. Livy, Gutsy and Lazy gasped in horror while Brainy proceeded to faint once again.

"'Come to the ball. I will make a vow of everlasting love.'" Balthazar mocked. "Thought you could fool old Balthazar did you?" he said as he tossed Johan's bow into the lake.

Livy clenched her fist in anger and defiance. "I'll never be yours you creature! I will marry prince Johan and you cannot stop me!"

"Oh I hate to tell you this Livy, but I'm afraid you won't be attending the ball tomorrow." the wicked wizard said in mock sadness as he grabbed the locket from the girl's grasp.

"If you want to stop me, you'll have to kill me." Livy growled. Balthazar just smirked and shook his head.

"No, I don't think so. You see you've forgotten one very important thing...Tomorrow night there is no moon."

Livy looked up at the moon and saw that there was only a sliver of it left. Realizing that Balthazar was right, she fell to her knees and began to sob as Balthazar left laughing evily.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"No matter what they do I'm always one step ahead." Balthazar gloated gleefully as he entered the castle of Swan Lake.

" *snort* *snort* True but on the other hand that little prince's vow could ruin everything." Hogatha pointed out as she filed her nails.

"I know. I'm going to have to deal with him somehow...but how?" Balthazar asked aloud as he thought. He put a hand to his chin and stroked his beard in thought as he glanced over at Hogatha before he was struck with inspiration. "The vow! I'll get Johan to make the vow to the wrong girl!"

"And just how exactly are you going to go about that?" Hogatha asked not even looking up from her nail file. " *snort* The boy only has his eyes and heart set on Livy *snort* and it's not like the little trollop's got a twin." the short bald woman chuckled quietly at her joke.

"No she doesn't have a twin." Balthazar said smiling knowingly at his assistant. "But I can make one."

Now Balthazar had her attention as Hogatha looked up at him in pure confusion. "Huh? HEY! *snort* Put me down you rogue! No manhandling!" she bellowed as Balthazar picked her up and swung her around before he sat her on her feet and explained his plan.

"I'll make you look like Livy. Well that's gonna take a lot of work-"

" *snort*Well I never!"

"But it'll be worth it. Because when he makes his vow to the wrong girl, Livy will die and then I'll finish Johan off myself. Oh I love it! I mean this is really classy...this is me!"

Suddenly a random spotlight fell on Balthazar and light piano music began to play in the background and Balthazar began to sing.

Gosh it's such a hoot to see them quaking

When I'm king they'll treat me with respect

I can't wait to watch their poor hearts breaking

So much for politically correct

Balthazar suddenly pulled out a long red carpet and let it roll down the stairs and across the floor. Then in a zap of magic the room was transformed into a replica of the ballroom in the Good Kings castle and Balthazar's robes were changed into a turqoise red and gold colored outfit and a crown was placed upon his head. He slid down the banister of the stairs and zapped up images of the palace servants and a buffet table as he continued to sing.

Up till now I've pulled my punches

I intend to eat their lunches

No more Mr. Nice guy

Not for me

Balthazar hopped up on the buffet table and pulled off the legs of the roast turkey that was sitting on the table and bonked people images on the head with them before he stuffed the turkey legs into the mouth of the Lizardo image and forced him to chew.

Hogatha was walking by holding a tray with a chocolate cake resting on it when she spotted the Lizardo image sitting on the ground. Her eyes bugged out and turned into hearts and she snatched him up with one hand while still holding the cake with the other. Lizardo squirmed in her grasp to escape as she puckered her lips for a kiss, but Balthazar reached over and yanked her away and started dancing with her, causing her to drop both the frog like man and the cake. Once he was done Balthzar tossed her aside and then zapped a nearby water fountain and turned the stone carved ladies into backup singers.

If you think that I'm hard-hearted

Well lamby pie, I haven't even started

No more Mr. Nice guy

No siree!

Balthazar then zapped up and image of Thomas and the band but when "Thomas" turned around instead of his own face he had Balthazar's.

Soon as my witchcraft has zinged them

I'll gain control of the kingdom

As for Livy we'll that's tragic

Cause I'm going back

To that old black magic

Balthazar zapped up an image of Livy who then turned into a swan and flew off. He then transformed himself to look like a magician and Hogatha to look like his (not so lovely) assistant. Balthazar then took off his top hat and reached inside and pulled out Witty who was once again dressed in his rabbit outfit. The Witty image scowled and crossed his arms not amused.

Good behavior is so much duller

Time to show my one true color

Baby Mr. Nice Guy's history

Balthazar zapped up an image of Thomas and the King who were doing a sort of tap dancing act. At the "One true color" line he changed the colors of their clothes to black and white.

Vengence is what I believe in

I don't get mad I get even

The wizard then did another wardrobe change and was now dressed in a tanktop and red shorts while doing one armed push ups as he sang. He zapped up an image of Johan and then punched him a few times like a punching bag before hitting him under the jaw and knocking him up in the air and out of his boots.

Livy won't get to the ball cause I won't bring her

The Livy image was zapped up again only this time she had a ball and chain attached to her ankle. Balthazar tossed the ball aside and grabbed Hogatha and spun her around.

So I'll zap up a date who's a real dead ringer

Balthazar zapped Hogatha and suddenly the short snorting woman was an exact replica of Livy. The only two differences now were, aside from the fact that Hogatha still had her own head, was the outfit. Instead of Livy's usual purple dress and pink tights she was wearing a slim fitting black velvet dress with a red collar and sleeves.

Balthazar raised an eyebrow in slight confusion and zapped her once again and she now had Livy's head and, as the song said, she was a real dead ringer for her.

Up to no good I love plottin

Balthazar zapped Livy's locket onto Hogatha's neck and then proceeded to play random pranks on the images, including throwing waterballoons, placing a "Kick Me" sign on the Kings back, cutting a hole in the floor, ect., until finally ending with turning everyone into animals.

Cause I'm so good when I'm rotten

No more Mr. Nice Guy, wait and see

(Wait and see)

I'll become that nasty

Naughty

Petty

Spiteful

Wicked

Wayward

Way delightful

Bad guy I was born to be

He turned Thomas into a penguin, the King into an flamingo, Lizardo into an actual frog and finally Peewit into a monkey.

"One more time!" Hogatha yelled as she grabbed the Lizardo image(now human again) and began to dance with him (much to the Chmaberlin's dismay) until Balthazar grabbed him and spun him down the stairs.

The lying

loathsome

Never tender

Indiscreet

Repeat offender

Hogatha ran down the stairs and went to help the Lizardo image up but Balthazar snatched him up, spun him around before finally letting him go where he went flying through the air and landed on the chandilier.

No more Mr. Nice guy

That's not me

Yeah!

(Do do do)

Once the song ended, Balthazar turned everything back to normal and made the images disappear-including the Lizardo image much to Hogatha's dismay.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Balthazar laughed as he left, positively giddy about his evil plan.

Meanwhile

Johan had arrived back at the castle and ran around looking for his father until he finally found him in the ballroom supervising as the servants ran around preparing for the ball tomorrow night. Thomas was conducting the band as they practiced.

"Father have you seen-" Johan stopped upon noticing the decorations.

"Oh Johan!" The King said smiling as he spotted his son, glad that he was back so soon.

"What are these?" the prince asked pointing to some flowers on the table.

"Roses." The King shrugged not sure where his son was going with this.

"They're red."

"Of coarse they're red."

"But Dad, I don't want red roses. I want white. Like a swan." Johan couldn't help but smile at the last word as he took the roses out of the vase on the table. "Have you seen Peewit?" he asked getting back to his original question.

"No." The King replied.

"Has anyone seen Peewit?" Johan asked the room but once more was sidetracked as he ran into a servant holding a tray of crackers topped with meat paste.

"Would you feed this to a swan?"

"I...uh..." the servant stuttered not sure what to make of the prince's latest swan obsession.

"Take it back." Johan ordered. "Get something light, something fresh." Johan's attention was brought to the band once he noticed the music and then went over. "No, no, no, no, no Thomas! Hold it!"

"What's wrong?" The red headed man asked turning to the prince.

"The music must be played rubato, soft and graceful. Like a swan."

"A swan?" Thomas asked confused.

"Have you ever seen a swan Thomas?" Johan asked semi-blissfully as he made his hand like a puppet and pretended it was a swan and pecked at Thomas.

"Of coarse I've seen a swan." Thomas scoffed slapping the hand away.

"If you could play a swan what would it sound like?"

Thomas smirked and pointed his conductors stick at the tuba player who blew into his instrument and let out a low trumpeting sound. Thomas giggled slightly.

"Soft and graceful Thomas." Johan emphassied before turning and asking no one in particular for the third time. "Where is Peewit?"

"No one has seen him Johan." The King said approaching his son.

"Your kidding?" Johan asked turning around to face his father. "Who's gonna be my best man?"

"Your best-You mean?" The King asked happily. Johan smiled and winked and the King let out a very unmanly squeal of joy.

"You...Oh Johan!" He the monarch cheered tossing the roses he had in his hands in the air. "My boys getting married!"

Thomas whooped. "It's about time!" he cheered as he turned to his band and then instructed them to play again only this time they were playing a slower beautiful melody that suspiscously sounded like "Far Longer Than Forever."

"There you go Thomas that's the stuff!" Johan encouraged as he began to dance to the music, imagining that he was dancing with Livy before he grabbed the King and began to dance with him. "Come on Father."

The father and son danced together, all the while the King chuckling a deep Santa Clause laugh, and then Johan dipped the King causing the monarch's head to land into the punch bowl.

"Don't be so secretive Johan, tell me who she is." The King begged trying not to squeal again. Johan just laughed and spun his father out of the punch bowl. He grabbed a whole bunch of roses and tossed them into the air.

Sorry this is short after so long without an update but I promise it won't take as long to get updated again. I swear.

I hope you all enjoyed and as always please leave a review. Bye bye! :)
