Another Plan From Gargamel
That same day back at his hovel, Gargamel was coming up with another plan to capture the smurfs.
"How dare that miserable little smurfette make a fool out of me?" Gargamel asked.
Gargamel suddenly began to have a memory.
Within his memory, Nat, Smurfette, Aviator, Sassette, Smurflily, Smurfjade, Smurfpilot, and Smurfblossom all saw Gargamel heading inside singing his song.
Gargamel: Oh, I'll fry a few;
And pickle a few;
And serve a few real cold;
Then I'll toast a few;
And roast a few;
And use the rest for gold.
Smurfette and the other members of her rescue party heard another voice.
"Gargamel?" the voice asked.
"That's our Dreamer!" Sassette whispered, hearing Dreamy's voice.
"Shh, Sassette!" Nat hissed sharply.
"What is it, you bite sized snack?" they heard Gargamel asking Dreamy.
"Could you, Scruple, and Azrael sit down so Smurfdream, my sweet older twin sister can sing to you like she sang to the unknown villain so I could rescue her in my dream?" Smurfette and the others heard Dreamy ask Gargamel from their hiding place.
Gargamel, Azrael, and Scruple sat down.
"Proceed if you must." Gargamel said.
"Hit it, Smurfdream!" Dreamy called out.
Smurfdream began to sing the song that Dreamy heard her sing in the dream he had about rescuing her.
Smurfdream: In my favorite dream;
Everyone is so delightful;
No one's mean or spiteful;
In my favorite dream;
Yes, and in my favorite dream;
There my heart can go romancing;
Dancing to a heavenly theme;
But there's something else I look forward to;
It's a secret, but here's a clue;
They're my favorites you-know-who;
You're the heroes of my most favorite dream.
The song had a calming effect on everyone in the hovel.
Gargamel, Azrael, and Scruple were so calm, they were soothed into a deep and sound sleep.
Dreamy beckoned Smurfette, Nat, Aviator, Sassette, Smurfjade, Smurflily, Smurfpilot, and Smurfblossom over to the cages.
"In Gargamel's right robe pocket you'll find the key." Dreamy whispered to Sassette.
"Gargamel's right robe pocket?" Sassette repeated to Dreamy in a whisper.
"Yes, Sassette... the right robe pocket," Dreamy whispered. "go carefully."
"I'll be as careful as I can be, Dreamer." Sassette whispered to Dreamy.
"Good girl, Sassette." Dreamy whispered back.
Sassette raced up to Gargamel and climbed inside one of the robe pockets on the right hand side.
Sassette climbed back out again, huffing and puffing breathlessly.
"It's not in that pocket." Sassette reported to Dreamy in a whisper.
"Well, Sassette, please do check the top right robe pocket." Dreamy whispered irritably.
"You mean to tell me that I have to smurf all the way up there? You've smurfed your lid, Dreamy!" Sassette exclaimed in a whisper.
"If you want to help us," Grouchy said. "then get smurfing!"
"All right, Grouchy." Sassette sighed, starting to climb higher.
Alchemist noticed that Gargamel was waking up.
"Gargamel's waking up! Quick, Dreamy, get that twin of yours to use her gift to get Gargamel sleeping again!" Alchemist hissed.
"Sing your heart out, Sis!" Dreamy whispered to Smurfdream urgently.
Smurfdream cleared her throat and she began to sing.
Smurfdream: In my favorite dream;
Everyone is so delightful;
No one's mean or spiteful;
In my favorite dream;
Yes, and in my favorite dream;
There my heart can go romancing;
Dancing to a heavenly theme;
But there's something else I look forward to;
It's a secret, but here's a clue;
They're my favorites you-know-who;
You're the heroes of my most favorite dream.
Gargamel slowly fell asleep again.
Sassette slowly started her climb again.
When she reached Gargamel's top right robe pocket, Sassette jumped inside to grab the key for the cages.
When she grabbed the key, Sassette knocked into something dusty which caused her to sneeze.
"Uh-oh," Snappy whispered. "now you did it, Sassette!"
Gargamel awoke, "I'll get you you miserable little *achoo*!" he exclaimed.
Gargamel quickly went back to sleep just as Sassette got away with the key to the cages.
Sassette tossed the key to Smurfette who caught it, she was the top of the smurf pyramid they had built.
Smurfette then climbed up to the mantlepiece where the cages were being kept.
She reached the smallest cage where Smurfdream and Dreamy were kept.
"No, Smurfette," Dreamy whispered urgently. "free Papa Smurf, Smurfwillow, and the others first!"
"But... Dreamer..." Smurfette began, Dreamy knew she was talking to him.
"This is an order, Smurfette," Smurfdream said. "Dreamy and I have concocted a plan for freedom between the two of us."
"All right," Smurfette said to Smurfdream. "just be careful!"
"We'll be as careful as we can be, Smurfette, please don't worry about Smurfdream and me." Dreamy whispered gently.
"Good job." Smurfette said to the twins.
A few minutes later, the sound of a cage being unlocked awoke Azrael who meowed loudly.
Azrael's meow was loud enough to awaken Gargamel and Scruple.
"How did you rotten little blue beggars escape?" Gargamel asked.
All the free smurfs, smurfettes, and smurflings scattered in different directions.
All the ones who were free jumped out of the window of the hovel.
Smurfette still had the key on her.
"Where are Smurfdream and Dreamy?" Papa asked.
Smurfette noticed the key in her hand, "Oh no! They are still in there!" she exclaimed.
"Then we've got to go in there!" Smurfstorm exclaimed.
"That's right," Hefty agreed. "we've got to break them out!"
"Now smurf on one minute, you two!" Smurfwillow scolded Smurfstorm and Hefty.
"That's right, we will free Smurfdream and Dreamy," Papa whispered. "but we must not do anything rash, do I smurf myself clear?"
"Crystal clear, Papa Smurf." Smurfstorm and Hefty sighed.
"Good." Papa said firmly.
"Hang on," Smurflily said. "I can hear something!"
"What is it, Lily?" Smurfblossom asked.
"It's too hard to make out from here," Smurflily answered Smurfblossom. "so we should get closer to hear it better."
When they got back to the window of Gargamel's hovel, the smurfs learned that the sound that Smurflily had heard only moments earlier was Smurfdream's song, Smurfdream began to sing it again.
Smurfdream: In my favorite dream;
Everyone is so delightful;
No one's mean or spiteful;
In my favorite dream;
Yes, and in my favorite dream;
There my heart can go romancing;
Dancing to a heavenly theme;
But there's something else I look forward to;
It's a secret, but here's a clue;
They're my favorites you-know-who;
You're the heroes of my most favorite dream.
Gargamel, Azrael, and Scruple were out like lights once again as the others quietly tip-toed into the hovel with the key.
Smurfdream's song's magic worked a bit too well, for it also put Dreamy into a relaxed state.
"Dreamy, Dreamy," Poet whispered. "it is time to wake up now."
Dreamy slowly awoke, "Huh? What? What happened, Poet?" he asked.
Smurfdream blushed slightly, "Oops, sorry Dearest Brother Dreamy, I guess my song's effect is stronger than I thought." she said.
"That is quite all right, Smurfdream," Painter whispered gently. "now, let's get you and Dreamy out of there!"
"Okay, Painter," Smurfdream whispered. "who's got the key?"
"I've got it." Aviator answered Smurfdream in a whisper.
"Well, bring it up here." Dreamy whispered to Aviator.
"And hurry," Smurfdream whispered hoarsely. "I don't know if I can keep these three asleep."
"You must try, Smurfdream." Dreamy whispered in his quietest voice.
"But Dreamy," Smurfdream whispered. "my voice is almost gone... I think I might have oversmurfed it."
"Well, in that case," Dreamy whispered to his twin. "I will smurf my voice to you by singing in your place... that should keep Azrael, Scruple, and Gargamel asleep."
"Thank you, Dreamy." Smurfdream said hoarsely.
Dreamy raised his indoor voice to a level where the sleeping threesome could hear him singing, cleared his throat, and began to sing.
Dreamy: In my favorite dream;
Everyone is so delightful;
No one's mean or spiteful;
In my favorite dream;
Yes, and in my favorite dream;
There my heart can go romancing;
Dancing to a heavenly theme;
But there's something else I look forward to;
It's a secret, but here's a clue;
They're my favorites you-know-who;
You're the heroes of my most favorite dream.
Gargamel, Azrael, and Scruple remained where they were, still fast asleep.
Gargamel was snapped from his thoughts by someone calling his name.
"Gargy," the person called. "hey! Gargy!"
Gargamel turned to the voice's owner, it was Scruple.
"What are you planning on doing, Gargy?" Scruple asked.
"I plan to simply kidnap one of those dreamer smurfs, then, when the other one comes to the rescue," Gargamel replied to his apprentice. "I will capture that smurf too!"
Back in the smurf village, the sun was beginning to set.
"Well, Papa Thing," Smurfwillow said. "it's about bedtime, and that means that it's time for my little smurfs and me to be heading back home to Smurfy Grove."
"What?" Smurfdream asked, she was shocked.
"No way!" Dreamy exclaimed, he was stunned.
