Um...I don't really know what to say except I'm sorry I haven't updated on this story or any of the parodies in like a month. My mind has really been on the fritz with the Smurfs lately. I get that way when I focus on one subject for a long time: I get writer's block and it doesn't go away until I focus on something else. Which is why, if you haven't noticed already, I have a new story up which is from one of my favorite movies of all time, The Lorax. I'm going to try to balance updating the Smurf stories along with that one as well.
All of that, plus I just got out of a really bad flu. For all of you, my faithful reviewers, I promise that as long as this story is unfinished, the most I will go without updating is five days. No more than that. Cross my heart and hope to smurf. Oh, and by the way, this chapter is going to be on the short side this time, but it will have something...let's say shocking at the end of it. Anyway, enough about me. Time for the reviews since you all seem to be unable to get along without my story.
Zinka17- It was technically Crafty who came up with her character and personality. It was just Vanity and Painter's job to give Fencette her looks and outfit that would match her personality. It would seem strange to anyone that one person would look just like another unless they were related, so I guess the others are in for a big shock.
flowerpower71- Yes, actually. Hummer and Aurora are actually going to be the Creatugo couple I told you guys about. Now, I know what you're thinking: But Hummer isn't a Creatugo. How would that work? That I cannot answer until later on in the story. Anywho, if Thomas knew about the Smurfs and Smurfettes, he would definitely have a good time teasing all of them about how in love they are with each other...and then they would throw stuff at him out of denial and anger XD
I know how the song would be familiar to you. It's called So Close from the Disney movie Enchanted. You gave me the inspiration to put that in as the love song ;) And I'm so glad you like Don Smurfo and Fencette's new look. I'm glad you guys do like them.
Benny- Hey, wish granted! I have to be honest, I kind of already was thinking of putting a scene like that in the story. Anyway, believe me when I say that Zorathix is not a good guy at all, especially to the Smurfs or the Creatugos. You'll see why soon enough.
I can understand how you would have no more guesses for right now. Not a lot are going to be mentioned until later on in the story. Well, if Hummer and Aurora ever dance together, I'm sure Hummer will be smart enough to not stand at Aurora's feet. By the way, Cupid's Arrow. Chapter 9. Favian's first mentioned there. Don't worry about it. I can't focus or really be happy if I'm sick, too.
SmallSunshine- Yeah, just like Don Smurfo and Fencette, Wooly and Silky didn't get off to such a great start. I think they'll start warming up to each other soon enough. Huh. Looks like not many of you guys were having a good day when you wrote down your reviews. Hope your moods improve!
Chloe- I wouldn't say that what Zorathix is bad for what he will do. I you guys will base his evil more on what he did do. Trust me, though, it was pretty bad. Much worse than what any of the other villains you know of the Smurfs have ever done before. Good luck with you and Painter in the future!
Sapphire777- HOMEWORK!? THE HORROR! THE HORROR, I TELL YOU! *takes a deep breath* Sorry. Anyway, I now have four stories to keep track of so wish me luck with that. The drawings, however, are taking longer than expected. I want them to look good so you guys can have a good idea of what I'm imagining them as. Xavier is almost done. Almia is finished. Benevolent, Fencette and the other Smurfettes, however, will be difficult. I really am trying though. I'm glad you like the new saying he has for Crafty.
Candy Girl- Everyone is getting attacked by homework! Nobody is safe! Good luck in your battles!
Lazy Smurf- Well, I wouldn't say that Grouchy and Wittette like each other, exactly. But I would say that hate usually turns right into love. It does take a while, though.
Baby Smurf- You know, that's what I've noticed as well. That's usually what ends up happening to people that think they hate each other.
babysmurfrock- You are not the first person to make that joke about Wittette and Grouchy and you won't be the last. It was actually pretty obvious that someone would eventually. Disclaimer time!
I own only Crafty, Hummer, the Creatugos, the Smurfettes, Monty, Benevolent, and Zorathix. flowerpower71 owns Nanu and Livy, Jo is owned by CartoonCaster21, Misty is owned by Sapphire777, and Benny owns Noctuma. Have a smurfy day!
"I hate doing this," Grouchy grumbled, using a broom to sweep up debris from the previous night.
"Don't you have anything better to say than 'I hate'?" Wittette asked irritably, she herself cleaning up the dishes from the tables. "Or maybe just smurf up for once."
"What do you know? You're not exactly an expert at hating," Grouchy grunted as he threw some swept up debris into a trash bin.
"Would you two shut up already?" Hefty complained. He and Handy were currently moving the tables back to their proper places into the mess hall and the two were quickly getting annoyed with them both arguing. "You're giving me a headache!"
"Thank you!" Crafty shouted as she, Hummer, and Sweepy were busy taking down the hanging decorations. "Seriously! If you guys are gonna be like this the whole time, just kiss now and get it over with!"
Sweepy slapped a hand over his mouth to prevent his laughter to be heard too noticeably as Grouchy and Wittette stared at her disbelievingly. Hummer chirped out a laugh as he used his wings
"Me kiss him? I'd rather get stepped on by Bronzo than kiss him!" Wittette snapped.
"Who's Bronzo?" Crafty raised an eyebrow.
The red-headed Smurfette only arched her eyebrows and said, "Something must be wrong with you if you don't remember Bronzo."
"Why would I want to kiss her?" Grouchy jabbed a thumb at Wittette. "I'd rather clean Sloppy's mushroom than put my mouth anywhere near hers!"
"They're totally into each other. I just know it," Crafty whispered to the Smurf covered in ash. Sweepy snickered slightly and nodded his head in agreement.
"Hola, smurfigos!" Wooly shouted as he entered the village pulling his wool wagon into the center of the village. "Where's everyone else?"
"Still sleeping. We thought we'd get a head start on the cleaning up," Hefty answered, he and Handy getting yet another table.
Wooly set the wagon down and said, "All right, ladies. We've reached the last stop. Everyone off!"
"Oh yeah," Silky rolled her eyes as she climbed off the wagon. "That's such a polite way to talk to Smurfettes. How do you keep the ladies off of you?"
Wooly scowled and bumped his heel against the wagon. Silky squealed as she lost her balance and fell on her tail onto the ground.
"Whoops," Wooly smirked. "Clumsy me."
"I'm getting back at you for that," Silky hissed as she got back to her feet.
"Silky. We need these guys to like us, you know. Stop making him mad!" Cropette scolded as she jumped down to the ground from the top of wool pile.
"He started it!" Silky argued pointing an accusing finger at the Texan Smurf, who was helping Mama get off of the wagon.
"I don't care who started it. I'm finishing it!" Cropette pulled her blonde sister to her feet. "And pardon me, but I don't think making him fall into a hole in the ground!"
"Um, can I interrupt for a second?" Crafty asked as she slid down the ladder.
"NO!" The two turned to her and shouted before turning back to each other. Just as they barely got in another comeback toward the other, they stopped and snapped into the direction of Smurfette clad in blue and white.
"Crafty?" They whispered simultaneously. Mama gasped quietly and turned her head towards Crafty as well.
Crafty arched her eyebrows as she said, "Don't tell me. You guys are my sisters too, right?"
The two slowly nodded at her in confirmation. Crafty clapped her hands together and nodded, "Good to know, good to know."
A gentle hand suddenly came onto her shoulder and she turned her head to look at Mama. She was looking over Crafty over and over again, tears starting to flow from the brim of her old blue eyes. She let out a sob as she embraced Crafty tightly into her arms.
Crafty's eyes shifted side to side awkwardly, completely dumfounded at what was going on.
"Oh, Crafty," she heard the elder Smurfette mumble as she stroked her braid. "I thought I lost you forever."
After hearing that and feeling it would be unorthodox not to mention rude to push her away, Crafty mentally shrugged and hugged her back.
"Oh, Crafty's finally come back to us," Cropette smiled at them. "Isn't this smurftastic, Favian?"
She frowned when she heard no response. She turned around and looked around, then rolled her eyes and let out a groan in annoyance. The red-headed Smurfette cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted as loud as she could, "Favian! Get your shell moving! We found Crafty!"
"You did? Where? Where is she?" Wooly nearly jumped out of his skin as the tortoise eagerly sauntered out from behind his wagon.
"How do you do that?!" The Texan Smurf asked, looking at him shockingly.
"Never mind, never mind!" Favian waved a clawed foot in dismissal. "Where is she?"
Almost instantly, Cropette and Silky pointed to where Mama was still embracing Crafty. Favian smiled widely and chuckled fondly, "Ha. My little smurfberry blossom."
The Galapagos tortoise approached the two Smurfettes and craned his neck, nuzzling the two with great enthusiasm.
The Smurfs around sighed in contentment at the sight. Only two weren't so thrilled with it.
"I'm gonna throw up," Grouchy shook his head as he went back to his work.
"For once, I agree," Wittette picked up more dishes to take to the kitchen.
"Oh! And you finally got your hair done!" Favian pointed out as he pulled away. "I knew it would do you better! I just knew it!"
"Um...Thanks, I guess," Crafty replied uncomfortably at all the attention she was getting. "Um. I don't know how to tell you this, but I don't really have any idea who you guys are."
She felt Mama wince slightly as she pulled away and looked into her eyes, both of which looked to be filled with pain and understanding.
"I know, my little Smurfette. I know."
"Yes. We do, but they don't," Favian sadly said, looking at the other younger Smurfettes.
Silky raised an eyebrow at him, "What're you gettin' at? What's goin' on?"
Favian blew out a breath of air through his nostrils and sighed, "The Rod of Reminiscence. That's what has Crafty under a spell. She can not and will not remember a thing until the magical phrase is said to her by the one who used it on her."
"Say, you wouldn't happen to know who used it on me, do you? Please say you do," Crafty quietly murmured the last part to herself.
"I'm sorry. I do not," Favian shook his head. "Only Ipati knows and he has the very item we need."
Oh great, Crafty thought to herself bitterly. The only way to get my memory back is to find that cobra...that almost KILLED ME AND XAVIER, no less!
"I don't know where he could possibly be. I sent him to find you the second you went missing," The old tortoise continued, looking around as if he expected the Indian cobra to come out of the bushes.
"Pardon me?" Crafty arched both of her eyebrows, staring at Favian as if he had grown a second head. "You mean to smurf me that you sent that scaly psychopath to smurfnap me just because he took my memories?!"
"Smurfnap you-?" Favian started laughing humorously. "Crafty! I know he's a bit on the irrational side, but I wouldn't refer to him as a psychopath or anything close to that word."
"Are you smurfing me?" Crafty asked incredulously. She crossed her arms and inquired, "What would you refer to him as then? Hmm?"
"Oh, an impatient serpent, an adept blacksmith, a great user of his magical gifts," Favian listed, only having the last one on the list shocking and giving nearly everyone around a heart attack. "And one of your closest and dearest friends."
