Chapter 8: Encountering Gargamel
/LOL -Laughing out loud\ For the fourth time, there's nothing much to say from the previous chapter. Well let's just say, that our blue friends and steamie friends just love to work together and helping each other out. But, Gargamel is up to no-good, and he had it up to his head. And it will be the Steam Team's first encounter with that hateful wizard. Can they and the Smurfs outwit him? Let's find out!
It was another lovely day at the medieval times. And everything in King Gerard's kingdom was very pleasant as usual.
At the Smurf village, the Smurfs and the Steam Team were up bright and early. And the little blue people already had their breakfast.
And now, some of the Smurfs were going to have a free day. But others were still busy doing some work, like building the coaling depot and updating the book about the Island of Sodor.
The Steam Team were also going to have a free day as well.
/Snappy\: "So, what are we going to smurf today?"
/Nat\: "It's such a smurfy day to smurf something."
/Sassette\: "Jumpin' jackrabbits, I can't think of what we're going to do today."
/Slouchy\: "It's a big question mark."
/Thomas\: "I can't think of what we're going to do today."
/Percy\: "Me either."
/Gordon\: "Oh, come on! We can't just stand here all day and think of nothing."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, I'm with Gordon on that."
/Hefty\: "Well, do you have any ideas of what we're going to smurf today?"
/Tuffy\: "Aw… no."
/Hefty\: "Hmph. Just as I smurf."
/Grouchy\: "I HATE of not thinking of what we're going to smurf today!"
/James\: "Me too!"
/Emily\: "/SIGH\ What a bother."
/Smurfette\: "You smurf it."
And the rest of the Engines and their Smurf partners were all bummed out as well.
But then, an idea had flew through Henry's funnel.
/Henry\: "/PEEP! PEEP!\ I know what we should do today!"
/Toby\: "You do, Henry?"
/Farmer\: "What it is?"
/Henry\: "How 'bout a stroll through the forest?"
/Tracker\: "Ooh, I like that!"
/Nat\: "Me too!"
/Thomas\: "Hmm. A stroll through the forest sounds nice."
/Percy\: "I think so too."
/Edward\: "And it's very lovely also."
/Emily\: "And pleasant."
/Toby\: "I'm up to that."
/James\: "I think it's a splendid idea."
/Gordon\: "Ohhh, guess I have no other choice."
/Vanity\: "Well, if our Engine partners want to smurf for a smurf through the forest than I might as well agree with them."
/Dreamy\: "Me too."
/Handy\: "Me three."
/Willing\: "Me four."
And the other Smurfs also had to agree.
/Thomas\: "Alright then. We Engines do the strolling while you Smurfs do the riding."
/Some Smurfs\: "Ok, Thomas."
So the Smurfs boarded their Engine partners.
/Dreamy\: "/Shouting\ Is everysmurf aboard?!"
/Some Smurfs\: "/Shouting\ Yes!"
/Thomas\: "/Shouting\ Alright, let's go!"
And the Steam Team, with their Smurf partners aboard them, all magically chuffed away for a stroll through the forest.
In the forest, the Smurfs and the Steam Team were enjoying themselves grandly. And they all think that a stroll through the forest was such a good idea after all.
/Thomas\: "/INHALE, EXHALE\ What a lovely day."
/James\: "It sure is."
/Dreamy\: "And it's such a smurfy one too."
/Snappy\: "Yeah."
/Vanity\: "Very smurfy indeed."
/Grouchy\: "Yeah, whatever!"
James couldn't help but grin.
/Henry\: "Just look at the trees standing strong and tall."
"/Birds singing\"
/Tracker\: "And listen to the birds singing."
"/Bees buzzing\"
/Nat\: "And the bees buzzing."
/Gordon\: "You know what? I suddenly feel happy, and relaxed."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, me too."
/Hefty\: "Well I'm already feeling happy and relaxed."
/Willing\: "Do you Engines do this at the Island of Sodor?"
/Edward\: "Why yes, we do. Well, when we have a day off that is."
/Handy\: "Yeah, same thing to us Smurfs also."
/Emily\: "/Sniffling\ Mmm, those flowers smell so sweet."
/Smurfette\: "/SNIFF\ Ooh, they are indeed."
/Sassette\: "Oh, boy."
/Slouchy\: "It's pretty smurfy when we all go with the flow."
/Toby\: "Yes, And I'm getting that flow feeling right now."
/Farmer\: "Yep, and a smooth feeling too."
/Percy\: "And nothing bad has happen."
/Harmony\: "Yet."
/Jokey\: "And it won't be a funny one too."
/Henry\: "And it's like you Smurfs puffed, the forest is not that peaceful with that horrid wizard lurking around here."
/Thomas\: "Don't worry, Henry. If we run into that horrid wizard, we'll sure outsmart him."
/Gordon\: "Indeed we will."
And the Smurfs were very glad that the Steam Team were in their time period to help them outsmart Gargamel. And so, they all went on enjoying their stroll through the forest on a bright sunny day.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the forest, Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were out lurking. And as usual, the hateful wizard was looking for the Smurfs. And he was determined(Yeah right!) to capture those little blue elves.
/Gargamel\: "Can you two keep up?!"
/Scruple\: "/MOAN\"
/Azrael\: "/Moaning\"
/Gargamel\: "Oh, quit complaining! Those Smurfs will show up at any moment, and I can feel it!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Yeah, you can feel it alright. Feeling that they will get away from you as usual."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW-MEOW."
Just then, the three baddies heard something.
/The Smurfs\: "/Singing\ LA, LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. LA, LA-LA, LA, LA…"
/Gargamel\: "AHA! It's them!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Oh, great."
/Gargamel\: "Come, let's hide!"
The three baddies hid inside some bushes. Then they peeked through the leaves, and they saw the Smurfs in sight.
/The Smurfs\: "/Singing\ …LA, LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. LA, LA-LA, LA, LA."
/Gargamel\: "There they are, those little monsters."
But then, Gargamel saw something that made him surprised. There with the Smurfs, were the Steam Team. He thinks that the Smurfs had built more of those contraptions, like the one Handy had built.
Gargamel was disgusted.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Just how stupid those blasted Smurfs could be?!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ What?"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Look, they built those… those… whatever those contraptions are!"
Scruple turned and he also saw the Steam Team. But then, he noticed something from them.
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Look, Gargie! Those contraptions each have faces!"
Gargamel turned, and he could see that the Engines do indeed have faces.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ What the heck?"
Just then, Gargamel heard one of the Engines speaking.
/Thomas\: "I'd never get tired of listening to that tune."
/James\: "I peep to that!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Egads, they can talk!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Unbelievable!"
/Azrael\: "/In hush tone\ MEOW!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ Just what kind of magictry did Papa Smurf come up with?!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ How should I know?! I'm no psychic!"
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ D' ooooh! Very well, I'll find out for myself!"
But Gargamel was waiting for the right time to appear himself.
Meanwhile, the Smurfs and the Steam Team were still enjoying themselves. And they entertained each other by singing some songs.
/Dreamy\: "Do you Engines know any other songs to smurf?"
/Thomas\: "Hmm… Oh, I have one! Follow along my friends!"
The other Engines all listen carefully on what song Thomas was going to sing.
/Thomas\: "/Singing\ OH YES, IT'S GREAT TO BE AN ENGINE AND GO STEAMING ALONG."
/Percy\: "/Singing\ PUFF, PUFF, PUFFING ALONG."
/Toby\: "/Singing\ PEEP, PEEP, PEEPING ALONG."
/Edward\: "/Singing\ ALL THE PEOPLE WAVING AS YOU SPEED ALONG."
/James\: "/Singing\ PUFF, PUFF, PUFFING ALONG, ALL DAY."
And the Engines went on singing.
Just then, Tracker was sticking his head out of Henry's cab. Then, he began to sniff.
/Tracker\: "/Sniffling\"
But suddenly, Tracker caught a scent.
/Tracker\: "Huh? /Sniffling\"
And when Tracker sniff the whole scent, he was alerted.
/Tracker\: "/GASP\ Uh-oh!"
Henry couldn't help but notice.
/Henry\: "What's the matter, Tracker?"
/Tracker\: "I have a scent that the mean wizard is nearby!"
/Henry\: "OH-NO!"
/Tracker\: "Quick, you must alert the others!"
/Henry\: "Indeed I shall!"
Henry blew his whistle in an alarming way.
/Henry\: "/Whistling alarmingly\"
But the other Engines didn't take any notice. They were still singing the same song. And they all think that Henry was following along by using his whistle.
Henry was appalled.
/Henry\: "They're not listening to me!"
/Tracker\: "Oh, for smurfness sake! Try again, but both shouting and whistling!"
/Henry\: "Alright!"
So Henry tried again by whistling and shouting.
/Henry\: "/PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!\ /Shouting\ Everyone!"
But the other Engines still didn't heard Henry. They were still singing.
/Henry\: "They still didn't hear me!"
/Tracker\: "Try whistling longer and smurf "quiet"!"
So Henry tried once more, by whistling longer and shouting "quiet!".
/Henry\: "/PEEEEEEEEEP!\ /Shouting\ QUIET!"
The other Engines all heard Henry and they came to a halt.
/Thomas\: "Rattle my rods, Henry!"
/Percy\: "Yes, what did you do that for?!"
/Henry\: "Everyone, I think that we should turn back!"
/Emily\: "Why?"
/Henry\: "Tracker sense that the horrid wizard is nearby!"
/The Smurfs\: "/Gasping\"
/Gordon\: "How can you be so sure?"
/Tracker\: "I used my nose!"
/Gordon\: "Really?"
/Tracker\: "Yes!"
/Smurfette\: "Engines, I think that we should really listen to Tracker and get out of here!"
/Edward\: "Alright! Let us just turn around first!"
But as the Steam Team were making their turn, little that they and the Smurfs didn't know, was that they were near the bushes that Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were hiding in.
And when Gargamel saw them stopped, his chance had come.
/Gargamel\: "/Speaking softly\ /Cackling\ Now I got them. Get ready, you two."
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ Here we go again."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW."
After making their turn-around, the Smurfs and the Steam Team were now facing the other way.
/Thomas\: "Alright, let's get going."
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "Right."
But as the Steam Team were about to chuff away, all of a sudden, Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael jumped out of the bushes and terrified them!
/Gargamel\: "GUESS WHO?!"
/The Smurfs\: "GARGAMEL!"
/The Steam Team minus James & Emily\: "GARGAMEL?!"
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Gargamel."
/Emily\: "OH-NO!"
/Thomas\: "Is he the horrid wizard?!"
/Snappy\: "Yes!"
/Percy\: "And who's that little boy?!"
/Harmony\: "That's Scruple!"
/Henry\: "Oh my, they have a cat!"
/Nat\: "Yes, that's Azrael!"
/Gordon\: "Oh, the indignity!"
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "Oh, the insmurfnity!"
/Gargamel\: "Well, well, what do we have here? A bunch of talking contraptions! This must be another one of Papa Smurf's creations!"
/Thomas\: "Creations?! We're not creations! We're…"
/Dreamy\: "/Speaking softly\ Thomas!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ What?"
/Dreamy\: "/Speaking softly\ Don't smurf Gargamel that you Engines are from another time period, or things will go unsmurfy!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Oh, got it!"
So Thomas decided to play along.
/Thomas\: "Oh, you got us! We are a bunch of Papa Smurf's creations!"
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "WHAT?!"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Just… play… along!"
/Snappy\: "/Speaking softly\ Yeah, smurf along."
One of the Engines understood.
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Play along, pass it on."
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ Play along, pass it on."
/Gordon\: "/Speaking softly\ Play along, pass it on."
/Henry\: "/Speaking softly\ Play along, pass it on."
/Percy\: "/Speaking softly\ Play along, pass it on."
/Toby\: "/Speaking softly\ Play along, pass it on."
/Emily\: "/Speaking softly\ Got it."
/The Smurfs\: "/Speaking softly\ Got it."
/Hefty\: "Oh, smurf. You got us, Gargamel. These are indeed some of Papa Smurf's creations. Right, Smurfs?"
/The Smurfs minus Hefty\: "Right!"
/Gargamel\: "HA! I knew it!"
/James\: "Not only that, we're the Smurfs' protectors!"
/Gargamel\: "Protectors?! Don't make me laugh!"
/Emily\: "Why can't you just leave the Smurfs alone!"
/Gargamel\: "I'll NEVER leave them alone! They made my life miserable from the day I first met these blue beasts!"
That made the Steam Team looked very puzzled.
/Gargamel\: "I see you looked concerned. But you know I speak the truth. For all my life, I wanted to catch these disgusting Smurfs so I can turn them into gold, or better yet, eat them!"
That made the Steam Team very cross. And one of them was disgusted.
/Gordon\: "YUCGH! You don't even know what a Smurf taste like!"
/Scruple\: "That's what I said to him before!"
/James\: "And correction, YOU'RE the one that is DISGUSTING!"
/Gordon\: "You're DISGRACEFUL!"
/Henry\: "DISPICABLE!"
/Edward\: "DISHONORABLE!"
/Emily\: "And DISRESPECTFUL!"
/Percy\: "No good magic meanie!"
/Toby\: "I ding to that!"
/Thomas\: "Me too!"
/The Smurfs\: "Yeah!"
After hearing those insults, Gargamel was raged with anger.
/Gargamel\: "OOOOOOOH, back talk at me will ye! I'll teach you to mess with me! Any last words before I be on your case?!"
James looked around to find a way to slow down Gargamel. But then, he could see one of the horrid wizard's feet. An idea had flew through his funnel.
/James\: "Oh Gargamel, do you feel any pain?"
/Gargamel\: "What are you talking about?!"
/James\: "BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET ONE RIGHT NOW!"
James magically chuffed forward, and he biffed into Gargamel's left foot. "/BLONK!\"
/Gargamel\: "YEEEOOOOOW!"
/James\: "RUNAWAY!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "LET"S SMURF OUT OF HERE!"
The Steam Team quickly and magically chuffed away from Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael.
Gargamel was in agony and he was very furious.
/Gargamel\: "OOOOOH, THAT RED CONTRAPTION WILL PAY DEARLY!"
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW!"
/Scruple\: "Oh, boy."
/Gargamel\: "Don't you two just stand there, after them!"
/Scruple\: "But Gargie…"
/Azrael\: "MEOW…"
/Gargamel\: "NOOOW!"
That made Scruple and Azrael jumped and they went off after the Smurfs and the Steam Team.
Further away from the three baddies, the Smurfs and the Steam Team had stopped in the deepest part of the forest. And they were very shaken.
/Edward\: "Bust my boiler!"
/Handy\: "Smurf my smurf!"
/Willing\: "Me too!"
/Thomas\: "Gargamel is by far the worse person that we Engines ever met!"
/Dreamy\: "We smurf the same way too, Thomas."
/Snappy\: "And James, that was very smurfy for what you smurf to Gargamel back there."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, you sure smurf him a smurf or two. And I may forever be in smurf to you. You got some smurf, and that's what I like from you."
James was so surprised and he hardly could say anything.
/James\: "Um… thank you, Tuffy. And you too, Snappy."
And the rest of the Smurfs and Engines were also very impressed with James.
James blushed and he felt pleased with himself.
/Tracker\: "/Sniffling\ /GASP\ OH-NO!"
/Henry\: "What is it now, Tracker?"
/Tracker\: "Scruple and Azrael are smurfing!"
/The Smurfs minus Tracker\: "/Gasping\"
/The Steam Team\: "OH DEAR!"
/Nat\: "Quick, let's hide!"
The Steam Team and their Smurf partners were divide into four groups with two Engines each.
Thomas, Percy, and their Smurf partners hid in one bush.
Edward, James, and their Smurf partners hid in another.
Henry, Gordon, and their Smurf partners hid in another.
And Toby, Emily, and their Smurf partners hid in the last one.
Just then, Scruple and Azrael appeared. And they were looking glum.
/Scruple\: "Boy, I can't keep doing this forever."
/Azrael\: "MEOW."
/Scruple\: "And good thing that I'm not obsessed with those Smurfs. But they do made my life miserable too!"
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW."
/Scruple\: "But even though, I have no use for them. My goal is to become a powerful wizard, not a Smurf catcher!"
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW."
/Scruple\: "And I will accomplish that goal! Well, someday."
/Azrael\: "MEOW."
Just then, Gargamel appeared. He was recovered from that pain in his foot. And he was still furious.
/Gargamel\: "Well, where are they?!"
/Scruple\: "I don't know."
/Gargamel\: "OH, BLAST IT ALL! Well, they couldn't have gotten far!"
/Scruple\: "Maybe we should go back to your hovel."
/Gargamel\: "Forget it! I'll get them AND those contraptions, especially that red one!"
/James\: "/GULP\"
/Gargamel\: "Come on! Start searching! They must be around here somewhere!"
/Scruple\: "/MOAN\"
/Azrael\: "/Moaning\"
So the three baddies began searching for the Smurfs and the Steam Team.
The Smurfs wouldn't dare to speak. The Steam Team wouldn't dare to peep. They all kept themselves very quiet and wouldn't move a thing.
Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael kept on searching.
/Gargamel\: "COME OUT YOU BLUE SAVAGES AND COLORFUL THINGS! SHOW YOURSELVES!"
/Scruple\: "/Speaking softly\ /SIGH\ That Gargie."
The Smurfs and the Steam Team still kept themselves very quiet.
But then, there was trouble.
The bushes that Edward, James, and their Smurf partners were hiding in, was infested with pollen. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew and shook the bushes. The pollen flew off of the leaves, and went straight into James' face. James was disgusted. Then suddenly, the #5 engine sniffed.
/James\: "/SNIFF\"
And the pollen went inside of his nose! And it's getting irritating to James! He couldn't hold on! He had to let out a sneeze!
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Oh no! Ahh… Ahh…"
/Grouchy\: "/Speaking softly\ No!"
/Vanity\: "/Speaking softly\ "Don't smurf, James!"
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Ahh… Ahh…"
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ Just hold it in!"
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Ahh… Ahh…"
/Handy\: "/Speaking softly\ Don't smurf it!"
/Willing\: "/Speaking softly\ Stop!"
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Ahhhh…"
Grouchy, Vanity, Handy, and Willing quickly covered James' nose.
And James avoided his sneeze.
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Hah."
/The four Smurfs\: "/Speaking softly\ Phew!"
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ Whew!"
The four Smurfs removed their hands off of James' nose.
But suddenly, James let out the biggest and loudest sneeze of all!
/James\: "AHHHH-TCHOO!"
/Gargamel\: "AHA!"
/Grouchy\: "SMURFAWAY!"
Edward, James, and their Smurf partners came out of their hiding place.
Gargamel saw them.
/Gargamel\: "THERE THEY ARE!"
/Thomas\: "Come on, Percy!"
/Percy\: "What?!"
/Thomas\: "It's time to have some fun with Gargamel!"
/Jokey\: "Ooh, I like where this is smurfing. /Giggling\"
/Thomas\: "So are you in?"
/Percy\: "Hmm… alright, I'm in!"
Thomas, Percy, and their Smurf partners came out of their hiding place and the two engines blew their whistles loudly.
/Thomas\: "/PEEP-PEEP-PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!\ /Shouting\ Over here, you old slow coach!"
Gargamel turned and he saw the two Engines.
/Percy\: "/PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!\ /Shouting\ Catch us if you can!"
And Thomas and Percy, with their Smurf partners aboard, all magically and quickly chuffed off in a flash.
Gargamel was furious.
/Gargamel\: "D' OH!"
Toby, Emily, and their Smurf partners understand on what Thomas and Percy were doing and they also came out of their hiding place and getting Gargamel's attention.
/Toby\: "/DING-DING! DING-DING! DING-DING!\"
/Emily\: "/PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!\"
Gargamel turned and he saw the two Engines.
/Toby\: "/Shouting\ Over here! Try to catch me!"
/Emily\: "/Shouting\ Or me!"
And Toby and Emily, with their Smurf partners aboard, all magically and quickly chuffed off with a dash.
Gargamel was even more furious.
/Gargamel\: "/Shouting\ Oooooh, those things! Scruple, you go after that blue and green contraption! Azrael, you go after that brown and other green contraption! And I'll go after that other blue and that red contraption!"
/Scruple\: "/MOAN\ Whoa is me!"
/Azrael\: "/Moaning\"
So the three baddies split up and went after the Engines and their Smurf partners.
Just then, Henry, Gordon, and their Smurf partners came out of their hiding place. And they were in a worried mode.
/Nat\: "Oh, smurf! What do we smurf?!"
/Tracker\: "Which one should we help?!"
/Hefty\: "This is really getting out of smurf!"
/Tuffy\: "Oh, the insmurfnity!"
/Gordon\: "I know what to do! Henry, you go help Toby, Emily, and their partners, and me, Hefty, and Tuffy will go help Thomas, Percy and their partners!"
/Henry\: "But what about Edward, James, and their partners?"
/Gordon\: "They're mid-size Engines, they can take care of their selves!"
/Hefty\: "But wait, Gordon. After we help the other Smurfs and the other Engines, we'll go help the rest as well."
/Nat\: "Yeah, Hefty's got a smurf!"
The two Engines all think that was a good idea also.
/Henry\: "Alright, just take care and be careful."
/Gordon\: "We will. Now let's go!"
And the two Engines, with their Smurf Partners aboard, all split up and magically chuffed off to help the other Engines and the other Smurfs.
Meanwhile, Thomas and Percy, with their Smurf partners aboard, were magically chuffing through the forest at the right side.
Scruple was chasing after them.
The two Engines were chuffing very fast.
But Scruple was running faster.
And the two best friends were trying to get away from the nasty little boy.
/Snappy\: "Come on, Thomas! Smurf with all your might!"
/Dreamy\: "Yeah, you can smurf it!"
/Thomas\: "Alright, just hold on!"
And Thomas increased his speed.
Percy could see Thomas speeding away. And he could also see Scruple was gaining on him.
/Harmony\: "Percy, Scruple is smurfing on us!"
/Jokey\: "Yeah, insmurf your speed!"
/Percy\: "Alright, just hang on to your hats, you two!"
And Percy increased his speed also.
Scruple was getting tired.
/Scruple\: "How fast can those things go?!"
So the nasty little boy kept on running.
Percy, Harmony, and Jokey were relieved.
/Harmony\: "You smurf it, Percy!"
/Jokey\: "Now that bad boy won't be able to smurf up with us!"
/Percy\: "Well, I may still be chuffing, but I'll never get tired from it!"
/Harmony & Jokey\: "YAY, PERCY!"
Percy felt very proud.
But then, there was trouble.
Percy began to go slower and slower.
/Jokey\: "What the smurf?!"
/Harmony\: "What's smurfing on?!"
And then, Percy came to a complete halt.
/Percy\: "OH NO!"
/Harmony\: "What are you smurfing, Percy?!"
/Jokey\: "Yeah, keep on smurfing!"
/Percy\: "I don't think I can!"
/Harmony & Jokey\: "Why?!"
/Percy\: "Because I ran out of water!"
/Harmony\: "WHAT?!"
/Jokey\: "This is not funny, not funny at all!"
And Percy felt very glum.
Further up front, Thomas was magically chuffing faster than ever before.
But when Dreamy turned around, he gasped.
/Dreamy\: "/GASP\"
The day-dreaming Smurf could see that Percy was not behind Thomas anymore.
Snappy could see that also.
/Snappy\: "Thomas, stop!"
/Dreamy\: "Percy, Harmony, and Jokey are smurfed behind!"
/Thomas\: "CINDERS AND ASHES!"
"/Brakes screeching\"
Thomas came to a halt. And he quickly reverse back after Percy.
Back at the spot where Percy had stopped, Scruple appeared. He had stop to catch his breath.
/Scruple\: "/Panting\"
And up ahead, the bad boy could see that Percy had stopped.
/Scruple\: "Aha! Now I got'em!"
Percy and his two Smurf partners could see that Scruple was coming up to them.
/Scruple\: "/Shouting\ There's no running from me now! /Cackling\"
But then, an idea popped into Jokey's head.
/Jokey\: "Percy, now I think it's the right time!"
/Percy\: "The right time for what?!"
/Jokey\: "To smurf your whistle super loudly!"
/Harmony\: "Yeah, and this is indeed trouble!"
/Percy\: "Oh! Alright, cover your ears, you two!"
Harmony and Jokey did indeed covered their ears.
Percy began huffing and puffing.
Scruple was getting closer to Percy.
/Scruple\: "I'll be taking those Smurfs from you now!"
/Jokey\: "Uh-oh!"
/Harmony\: "Hurry up, Percy!"
Percy huffed, and puffed, and just as Scruple was about to grab the two Smurfs, he blew his whistle super louder than ever.
/Percy\: "/PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!\"
/Scruple\: "Aaaah, that's too loud!"
Scruple covered his ears as well.
Further down, Gordon, along with Hefty and Tuffy, was approaching. And as he kept on chuffing, he heard a whistle.
/Percy\: "/PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!\"
/Gordon\: "That's Percy!"
/Hefty\: "And it smurfs like he's in trouble!"
/Tuffy\: "Come on, Gordon! Smurf on it!"
/Gordon\: "You got it, Tuffy!"
And Gordon quickly charged himself up.
Further up, Thomas was chuffing quickly back to Percy and he also heard a whistle.
/Percy\: "/PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!\"
/Thomas\: "It's Percy!"
/Dreamy\: "And I think we're getting close to him!"
/Snappy\: "Come on, Thomas! Smurf it up!"
/Thomas\: "Right! Hang on, you two!"
And Thomas kept on reversing back to Percy as fast as he could.
Back at the spot, Percy still kept on blowing his whistle super loud.
Harmony and Jokey were still covering their ears.
Scruple was still covering his ears as well.
/Scruple\: "/Shouting\ Would you stop making that loud noise?!"
But still Percy kept on blowing his whistle super loudly.
Scruple crouched down in agony.
Just then, Gordon came. He could see Percy up ahead. And he could also see Scruple, who was crouched down with his ears covered. Gordon saw the chance to get the bad boy away from Percy.
Hefty and Tuffy could see that also.
/Hefty\: "Ok, Gordon! Smurf that bad boy a smurf or two!"
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, smurf at him!"
/Gordon\: "Here we go!"
Gordon charged with such speed. And then, he tackled Scruple by biffing his behind.
/Scruple\: "EYAAAAH!"
Scruple went flying in mid-air, and he ended up in a tree that is overgrown with vines. And he was all tangled up within the vines.
At last, Percy stopped whistling super loudly. And he was very exhausted.
And Harmony and Jokey uncovered their ears.
/Gordon\: "/Shouting\ Naughty little boy!"
/Percy\: "Gordon!"
/Harmony\: "Hefty!"
/Jokey\: "Tuffy!"
/Hefty\: "Are you three ok?"
/Harmony\: "Yeah, we're ok."
/Jokey\: "Thanks to Percy and his super loud whistle."
/Percy\: "Awwwe."
/Tuffy\: "Smurfy work, Percy."
/Hefty\: "Yeah, smurfy one."
/Gordon\: "And you used your whistle when there was trouble. Splendid work, Percy."
That made Percy very happy.
/Percy\: "It was nothing."
Just then, Thomas arrived.
/Thomas\: "/PEEP-PEEP-PEEP!\"
/Percy\: "Thomas!"
/Harmony\: "Dreamy!"
/Jokey\: "Snappy!"
/Thomas\: "What's the matter, Percy? Why did you stop?"
/Percy\: "I ran out of water, Thomas."
/Thomas\: "Oh, bother."
/Dreamy\: "That's not smurfy."
/Snappy\: "I smurf to that."
Just then, the three Engines and their Smurf partners heard Scruple shouting.
/Scruple\: "/Shouting\ Get me out of here!"
And they could see the nasty little boy trying to get himself free from the tangled vines.
/Scruple\: "/Struggle grunting\"
/Percy\: "Quick, couple me up before Scruple comes back!"
/Thomas\: "I'm on it, Percy!"
Thomas buffered up to Percy.
With a coupling pole, Dreamy had coupled up the two Engines.
And the magic rails from underneath Thomas were magically connected to the other magic rails from underneath Percy.
/Gordon\: "Come on! We got to go help Edward, James, and their partners!"
/Thomas\: "But what about Toby, Emily, and their partners?"
/Gordon\: "Henry is taking care of that! Now let's go!"
/Thomas & Percy\: "Right!"
And as quick as lighting, the three Engines, along with their Smurf partners, all magically chuffed off quickly away, leaving Scruple struggling to get himself free.
Meanwhile, Toby and Emily, with their Smurf partners aboard, were magically chuffing through the forest at the middle side.
Azrael was chasing after them.
The two Engines were chuffing very fast.
But Azrael was running faster.
And the two friends were trying to get away from the nasty cat.
/Azrael\: "/Meowing ferociously\"
/Slouchy\: "Hurry, Toby! Azrael is smurfing on us!"
/Farmer\: "You gotta keep on smurfing!"
/Sassette\: "Speeding sharks, keep on smurfing Emily!"
/Smurfette\: "Yeah, smurf up the pace!"
/Toby\: "Alright, just hold on!"
/Emily\: "And hang on to your hats, Smurfs!"
And the two Engines increased their speed.
Azrael was getting tired.
/Azrael\: "/Panting\"
But the nasty cat kept on running.
Toby, Emily, and their Smurf partners were relieved.
/Slouchy\: "Alright! You smurfed it, Toby!"
/Sassette\: "You too, Emily!"
/Farmer\: "That's the way to smurf your speed!"
/Smurfette\: "Yeah, smurf it up!"
/Toby\: "I may be an old tram engine, but I still can pump up my speed!"
/Emily\: "And I may have two big driving wheels, but I still sure can go faster than ever!"
/Farmer & Slouchy\: "HURRAY FOR TOBY!"
/Sassette & Smurfette\: "HURRAY FOR EMILY!"
The two Engines felt very proud.
Then there was trouble.
/Toby & Emily\: "/Gasping\"
"/Brakes screeching\"
The two Engines came to a halt. And they and their Smurf partners ended up at a dead end.
/Emily\: "We're trapped!"
/Toby\: "That's the least of our worries!"
Suddenly, Azrael appeared.
/Azrael\: "/Meowing ferociously\"
/Smurfette\: "OH NO! AZRAEL!"
/Toby\: "OH MY!"
/Emily\: "OH DEAR!"
The bad cat let out his sharp claws from his paws.
/Azrael\: "/Snarling\"
/Farmer\: "Oh smurf, those claws looked very dangerous!"
/Toby\: "And very sharp!"
/Emily\: "Sharp enough to scratch my paintwork!"
/Sassette\: "Terrifying tigers, there's no smurfing back!"
/Slouchy\: "I hope somesmurf will come and help us soon!"
/Azrael\: "/Hissing\"
The two Engines and their Smurf partners all braced their selves.
But then, Henry came along with Nat and Tracker. He could see Toby and Emily up ahead. And he could also see Azrael, who was about to make his attack on them. Henry was appalled.
/Henry\: "Oh no, he don't!"
/Nat\: "Smurf for it, Henry!"
/Tracker\: "Smurf that bad cat a lesson!"
/Henry\: "Hold on, you two!"
Henry charged with such speed. And then, he tackled Azrael by biffing his behind.
/Azrael\: "MEEEEEOOOOOOW!"
Azrael went flying in mid-air, and he ended up getting himself stuck inside a hollowed hole of a log.
Toby, Emily, and their Smurf partners saw the action and they were relieved.
/Henry\: "/Shouting\ Bad horrible cat!"
/Toby & Emily\: "Henry!"
/Farmer & Smurfette\: "Tracker!"
/Sassette & Slouchy\: "Nat!"
/Henry\: "Are you six alright?"
/Toby\: "Yes."
/Emily\: "We're alright."
/Henry\: "Oh, thank goodness."
Just then, the three Engines and their Smurf partners heard Azrael screeching.
/Azrael\: "/Screeching\"
And they could see the nasty cat trying to get himself free from the hollowed hole.
/Toby\: "Oh, we mustn't stick around for that."
/Emily\: "I'm with you on that."
/Henry\: "Come on then! We got to go help Edward, James, and their partners!"
/Toby\: "But what about Thomas, Percy, and their partners?"
/Henry\: "Gordon is taking care of that! Now let's move!"
/Toby & Emily\: "Right!"
And as quick as a cheetah, the three Engines, along with their Smurf partners, all magically chuffed off quickly away, leaving Azrael struggling to get himself free.
Meanwhile, Edward and James, with their Smurf partners aboard, were magically chuffing through the forest at the left side.
Gargamel was chasing after them.
The two Engines were chuffing very fast.
But Gargamel was running faster.
And the two close friends were trying to get away from the horrid and hateful wizard..
/Gargamel\: "COME BACK HERE, YOU COWARDS!"
The two Engines increased their speed.
Gargamel was getting tired.
/Gargamel\: "/Panting\ YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ME FOR LONG!"
But the wicked wizard kept on running.
Edward, James, and their Smurf partners were relieved.
/Handy\: "Smurfy well done, Edward!"
/Willing\: "Yeah, for an old Engine, you sure surprised us all!"
/Edward\: "I maybe old, but I still have some speed and strength within me!"
/Handy & Willing\: "YOU SMURF, ENGINE!"
Edward felt very proud.
/Vanity\: "Way to smurf, James!"
/Grouchy\: "And I LOVE the way you smurf up your speed!"
/James\: "Well, speed is my specialty, and I did show Gordon that I can go as fast as him!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "WHO'S THE ENGINE?! JAMES' THE ENGINE! GO #5!"
James felt very proud as well.
Everything was going fine. Until suddenly…
"/Sound of a mechanical failure from James\"
James began to go slower and slower.
Grouchy and Vanity were surprised.
And then, James came to a complete halt.
/James\: "OH NO! NOT NOW!"
/Grouchy\: "Why did you stop, James?!"
/Vanity\: "Yeah, quit smurfing and keep on smurfing!"
/James\: "I can't!"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "Why?!"
/James\: "Because I'm disabled! I can't move!"
/Vanity\: "Oh, bother and smurf!"
/Grouchy\: "I HATE when you're disabled!"
And James felt very glum.
Further up front, Edward was magically chuffing faster than ever before.
But when Handy turned around, he was appalled. He could see that James was not behind Edward anymore.
Willing could see that also.
/Willing\: "Stop, Edward!"
/Handy\: "James, Grouchy, and Vanity are not smurfing us!"
/Edward\: "FLATTEN MY FUNNEL!"
"/Brakes screeching\"
Edward came to a halt. And he quickly reverse back after James.
Back at the spot where James had stopped, Gargamel appeared. He had stop to catch his breath.
/Gargamel\: "/Panting\"
And up ahead, the evil wizard could see that James had stopped.
/Gargamel\: "AHA! NOW I GOT YOU!"
James and his two Smurf partners could see that Gargamel was coming up to them.
/Gargamel\: "/Shouting\ I knew you won't get away from me that long!"
James, Grouchy, and Vanity were terrified.
/Grouchy\: "HELP!"
/Vanity\: "SOMESMURF HELP!"
/James\: "OH HELP US! /PEEP! PEEP! PEEP-PEEP! PEEP!\"
/Gargamel\: "Go on and make that noise whatever you want! Nobody can hear you from here!"
/James\: "If only I had a super loud whistle like Percy! /PEEP-PEEP! PEEP-PEEP!\"
/Gargamel\: "Once I teach you a lesson for hitting my foot, I'll be taking those two Smurfs with me! /Cackling\"
/Grouchy\: "OH NO!"
/Vanity\: "WE'RE DOOMED!"
/James\: "AND I'M DOOMED!"
Gargamel was getting closer to James.
/Gargamel\: "SAY GOODBYE, YOU WRETCHED RED CONTRAPTION!"
But just as Gargamel was about to do something horrible to James, he heard the sound of a super loud whistle.
/Percy\: "/PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!\"
It was Percy.
/Gargamel\: "AAAAH! TOO LOUD!"
And there with Percy were Thomas, Henry, Gordon, Toby, and Emily.
Gargamel crouched down with his ears covered.
Henry and Gordon saw the chance to get the horrid wizard away from James. They charged their selves with such speed.
/Henry\: "CHARGE!"
/Gordon\: "TALLY-HO!"
And then, the two big tender engines tackled Gargamel by biffing his behind.
/Gargamel\: "AAAAH!"
And the bad wizard was shot up straight to the air.
James and his Smurf partners were relieved.
Percy stopped his super loud whistling.
/Henry\: "No-good horrid wizard!"
/Gordon\: "You puff it!"
/Thomas. Percy, Toby & Emily\: "Us too!"
/James\: "My friends!"
/Vanity\: "Our fellow Smurfs!"
/Tuffy\: "Are you three ok?"
/Grouchy & Vanity\: "Yes!"
/James\: "We're alright!"
/Nat\: "Oh, thank smurfness."
Thomas and Percy came up to James.
James could see that Percy was coupled to Thomas.
/James\: "Oh my, Percy. What's wrong with you?"
/Percy\: "I ran out of water. What about you?"
/James\: "I'm disabled."
/Percy\: "Oh, dear."
At last, Edward arrived.
/Edward\: "James, what's wrong with you now?"
/James\: "I'm disabled, Edward."
/Edward\: "Oh, bother."
/James\: "Hurry, couple me up before Gargamel returns!"
/Edward\: "Where is Gargamel?"
/Percy\: "Up there."
/Edward\: "In the sky? Oh my."
/Handy\: "And don't worry, James. As soon as we smurf to the village, I'll smurf you up in no time."
/James\: "Bless you, Handy."
Edward buffered up to James.
With a coupling pole, Willing had coupled up the two Engines.
And the magic rails from underneath Edward were magically connected to the other magic rails from underneath James.
Suddenly, everyone heard a scream.
/Gargamel\: "AAAAH!"
It's was Gargamel, coming straight down to the ground.
/Gargamel\: "AAAAH!"
/Percy\: "Oh no, here he comes!"
/James\: "Let's get out of here!"
/Hefty\: "No, wait!"
/The Steam Team\: "WHAT?!"
/Gordon\: "Are you silly in the head, Hefty?!"
/Hefty\: "Just smurf this, Engines."
So the Steam Team watched. And they watched as Gargamel came straight down, and he ended up landing in a tree.
/Gargamel\: "AAAAH!"
"/Rustling sound in a tree\"
"/CRASH!\"
The Steam Team were amazed. And they and the Smurfs could see Gargamel hanging on a branch.
/Gargamel\: "/Moaning\"
/The Steam Team\: "/Laughing\"
/Emily\: "Wow, now that's worth watching for! /Laughing\"
/Thomas\: "It is indeed! /Laughing\"
The Steam Team magically move closer to the tree that Gargamel was hanging on. And they and the Smurfs began teasing him.
/Jokey\: "Gee, Gargamel. Smurfy of you to hang up there! /Laughing\"
/Snappy\: "We'd love to smurf around here, but we gotta smurf."
/James\: "So the next time we meet, we'll play the same game called "Outsmarting Gargamel"."
/Thomas\: "And it will be lots more fun than that."
/Percy\: "See you later, you old slow coach!"
/The Steam Team & the Smurfs\: "/Laughing\"
And the Steam Team, along with their Smurf partners, all chuffed magically and quickly away back towards the village.
But suddenly, Emily felt a bump. And a large piece of coal had jumped out of her tender. But even though, she didn't notice it.
After the Steam Team and the Smurfs had left, Gargamel was raged with such anger.
/Gargamel\: "OOOOH, NOT ONLY THAT I HATE THOSE WRETCHED SMURFS, I ALSO HATE THOSE CONTRAPTIONS THAT THEY CALLED THEMSELVES PROTECTERS!"
Just then, Scruple and Azrael appeared. And they managed to get their selves free from their sticky situation. And they could see Gargamel hanging on a tree branch.
/Scruple\: "Gee, Gargie. What are you doing up there?"
/Azrael\: "MOEW."
/Gargamel\: "That I won't say!"
Gargamel slowly free himself from the branch. And he fell down and landed hard on his behind.
/Gargamel\: "OOFAH!"
The evil wizard was in agony.
/Gargamel\: "/Moaning\"
/Scruple\: "Boy, those Smurfs and their new allies really made a fool of yourself."
/Gargamel\: "Don't even remind me!"
/Scruple\: "So what are you gonna do now? Catching those Smurfs won't be that easy this time."
/Gargamel\: "D' oh I know that! And if there's only a way to get those things out of my way for catching those Smurfs!"
Just then, Scruple saw something.
/Scruple\: "What's that?"
Gargamel turned and he saw the object that Scruple was pointing at. He crawled towards the object. Then, he picked up the object and analyzed it. And Gargamel knew what the object was.
/Gargamel\: "Why, it's a piece of coal."
/Scruple\: "Coal?"
/Gargamel\: "Hmm… those contraptions have coal. I wonder?"
/Scruple\: "Well, those things were carrying those black rocks, and I think it really means something to them."
Then, Gargamel found the answer.
/Gargamel\: "Of course! The coal must be their some sort of fuel!"
/Scruple\: "Fuel?"
/Azrael\: "MEOW?"
/Gargamel\: "Don't you see?! Those contraptions need coal to move!"
/Scruple\: "Ohhhh. Hey, if those things need coal for fuel, they also need that stuff to make smoke!"
/Gargamel\: "Smoke?"
And then, an evil idea popped into Gargamel's head.
/Gargamel\: "Oh yes! /Cackling\"
/Scruple\: "Looks like you got an idea, Gargie."
/Gargamel\: "Indeed I do! Come, you two! Back to my hovel!"
And the three baddies began to head off to Gargamel's hovel.
/Scruple\: "So what's the plan?"
/Gargamel\: "I'm going to put some magic into this piece of coal! And when one of those contraptions gets it, it'll leave a trail of smoke that won't evaporate! And it will lead me straight to the village!"
/Scruple\: "Wow."
/Azrael\: "MEOW."
/Scruple\: "But wait, what about those things? They're still gonna be in the village protecting those Smurfs."
/Gargamel\: "Oh, I know exactly what I'm going to do to those "protectors". And it will be fool proof! /Cackling\"
/Scruple\: "/Whispering\ And let's hope that is fool proof."
/Azrael\: "MEOW-MEOW."
And with nothing else to say, the three baddies all set off back to the horrid wizard's hovel, as the daylight went by through the rest of the day.
Back at the Smurf village, everything was very pleasant. Some Smurfs were having some free time, while other Smurfs were being busy doing some stuff.
Papa was in his house doing some experiments.
/Papa\: "A little bit of this… a touch of that… a dash of that… and a pinch of this."
Suddenly, the village leader heard some frantic whistling/dinging.
/The Steam Team\: "/Whistling/dinging frantically\"
/Papa\: "GREAT SMURFS!"
Then Papa heard some of his little Smurfs shouting.
/Some Smurfs\: "PAPA SMURF! PAPA SMURF!"
The second oldest Smurf quickly ran towards the door. When he open door, there at the front of his house, were the Steam Team and their Smurf partners. And he could see that the Engines were red in the faces and looked very exhausted and tired.
Some of the other Smurfs who heard the Steam Team's whistling/dinging came in to see what was going on.
/Thomas\: "Oh, my aching axles!"
/Percy\: "My aching gears!"
/James\: "My aching wheels!"
/Emily\: "My aching boiler!"
/Henry\: "My aching everywhere!"
/Gordon\: "Oh the indignity!"
/Edward\: "I'm getting too old for this!"
/Toby\: "I ding to that!"
Papa was surprised but concerned.
/Papa\: "Why Thomas, you and your friends looked exhaust. What happen?"
/Snappy\: "We smurf into Gargamel!"
/Papa\: "GARGAMEL?!"
/Miner\: "SMURF AND BEGORRAH!"
/Sweepy\: "JIMINY SMURF!"
/Latino\: "AY SMURFRAMBA!"
/Painter\: "SACRE SMURF!"
/Thomas\: "And for us Engines, it's our first encounter with that horrid wizard."
/Sassette\: "But thanks to the Engines, we all managed to smurf away from Pappy Gargamel."
/Papa\: "Oh, thank smurfness."
/Greedy\: "Smurfy well done, Engines."
/Poet\: "Yeah, and you all are very brave."
/The Steam Team\: "Thank you, Poet."
/Poet\: "In fact, I'm gonna smurf a poem about it. I call it "Ode to bravery"."
/Thomas\: "Well, good luck with that."
/Poet\: "Thanks, Thomas."
Then Thomas remembered something and he turned to Papa.
/Thomas\: "Papa Smurf?"
/Papa\: "Yes, Thomas?"
/Thomas\: "There's something that made us Engines puzzled."
/Papa\: "And what's that?"
/Thomas\: "Gargamel said to us that you Smurfs had made his life miserable from the day he first met some of you. What you all had done to him that makes him be on your case?"
/Papa\: "Why, we hadn't done anything to him that makes him be on our case. But all I do remember is that, when we first met Gargamel, he was going to take one of my little Smurfs with him so he can turn one of them into gold."
/Thomas\: "Of which you told us Engines before."
/Papa\: "Yes."
/Thomas\: "Oh dear. I wish there's a way to make Gargamel stop being on you Smurfs' case."
/Papa\: "I wish there is, Thomas. But sadly, there isn't."
That made Thomas and his friends very sad.
Suddenly, Emily gasped.
/Emily\: "/GASP\ What if Gargamel finds the village?!"
/Toby\: "Oh no! You Smurfs should get out of here while you can!"
/Papa\: "Don't worry, you two. Gargamel doesn't remember where our village is."
/Thomas\: "Well, at least that's good news."
/Papa\: "Yes."
But then, Papa notice something. He could see that Percy was coupled up to Thomas, and James was coupled up to Edward. And they both were looking very glum.
/Papa\: "Why Percy, James, you two looked very unsmurfy. What's wrong with both of you?"
/Percy\: "I ran out of water."
/James\: "And I'm disabled."
/Papa\: "Oh my."
/Edward\: "But don't worry, we'll soon fix that."
/Papa\: "Indeed you will."
/Dreamy\: "Come on, Thomas. Let's smurf Percy to the well so he can smurf on some water."
/Thomas\: "Got it, Dreamy."
/Handy\: "And Edward, let's smurf James to my house so I can repair him."
/Edward\: "Alright, Handy."
/James\: "But do you know how to fix a steam locomotive?"
/Handy\: "Of course, and it's just like smurfing my rail-smurfer."
/James\: "Well in case you forgot, we Engines each have instruction manuals inside our cabs."
/Handy\: "Smurfy, that'll be helpful."
/Papa\: "And I think you might need me and my magic on that."
/Handy\: "Ok, Papa Smurf."
So Thomas took Percy to the well, while Edward took James to Handy's house. And in no time, Percy was having his drink, and James was getting repaired. It only took till dusk to get James fully repaired. And everything in the Smurf village stayed the same way as it should be.
Nighttime came, and everything in King Gerard's kingdom went silent.
At the Smurf village, all the Smurfs were all fast asleep.
But, the Steam Team were not fast asleep. They were all still wide awake. They couldn't stop thinking about today. And they were also thinking of a way to stop Gargamel's reign of terror on the Smurfs. So the eight Engines made a meeting.
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ My friends, are you all still awake?"
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Yes."
/Gordon\: "/Speaking softly\ We couldn't get ourselves to sleep."
/Percy\: "/Speaking softly\ And we couldn't stop thinking about today."
/Henry\: "/Speaking softly\ Oh dear, I might get nightmares about today."
/Emily\: "/Speaking softly\ That Gargamel is a really bad to the center of himself."
/Toby\: "/Speaking softly\ We just can't let him terrified the Smurfs forever."
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ And we need to think of a way to stop his reign of terror on the Smurfs."
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ Yes, but what can we do?"
And the Steam Team were all idealess.
But Thomas had a solution.
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ I know exactly what we should do, and we should do the same thing the Fat Controller always do."
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ What?"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Send someone packing."
/Percy\: "/Speaking softly\ Ohh."
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ But how?"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ I don't know. Maybe a friend of the Smurfs."
/Emily\: "/Speaking softly\ Like who?"
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Oh bother! I never thought of that."
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ Well, I'm sure we'll find someone who has the power to send Gargamel packing."
/Toby\: "/Speaking softly\ And not a moment too soon."
/Henry\: "/Speaking softly\ And if that horrid wizard lays a hand on our Smurf friends or let his reign of terror go on again, we'll surely get someone to send Gargamel away for good."
/Gordon\: "/Speaking softly\ But we'll wait for the right time to do it."
And all the other Engines agreed with Gordon.
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ /YAWN\ Now I'm getting tired."
/Edward\: "/Speaking softly\ /YAWN\ So do the rest of us."
/James\: "/Speaking softly\ And let us all have some sweet dreams."
/Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Good night, my friends."
/The Steam Team minus Thomas\: "/Speaking softly\ Good night."
One by one, the Engines closed their eyes, and they all went peacefully to sleep. Now that everyone were all fast asleep, things are looking pleasant in the village of Smurfs.
But at Gargamel's hovel, things were also pleasant but in a nasty way. Gargamel, Scruple, and Azrael were all fast asleep as well. And the horrid wizard was dreaming of how successful he will capture the Smurfs the next time they ran into each other. But first, he wants to get the Steam Team out of his way, and he knew exactly what he will do to them the next time they ran into each other also. And so, Gargamel went on dreaming about his goal. And he was determined(Also a yeah right!) to accomplished his goal. But if he accomplished that goal, the lives of the Smurfs will come to an end.
And that was something that the Smurfs and the Steam Team will not let that happen in the near future.
(Acela Smurf7): Boy, that was a close one! But will the Smurfs and the Steam Team outsmart Gargamel again the next they meet? I guess we'll stay puff and smurf to find out soon!
Fun facts: When Gargamel told the Steam Team that the Smurfs had made his life miserable from the day he first met them and when Papa told Thomas how Gargamel's life was awful at first, it was from the Season 5 episode: Gargamel's Time Trip. (And you can see this episode on Watchcartoononline or on any other video websites)
