Title: Attract mini-series: Ep 1: Opposites/Prank Gone Awry?

Pairing: SMURF SLASH! GrouchyXJokey

Rating: K plus-ish

Canon or AU: AU, totally.

Time: I imagine the CG Smurfs doing this, but there is no particular time on this one. Though there is some SLIGHT pre-established slash.

Inspiration: So I got this idea from a GXJ shipper named Eyes Are The Soul (Who has a really cool and creepy Grouchy story: Go check it out!) And apparently my pet plot bunny Fluffy decided this needed to be a mini series, so here is chapter one.

THIS CONTAINS SLASH DON'T LIKE DON'T READ

They were opposites, the grouchy one and the pranky one. You would think a joke would tear the two apart, right? Well, actually, it brought them together.

Jokey was known for his, well, jokes. Bombs in presents, honey that ends up in uncomfortable places, buttons all over your floor-annoying yet harmless jokes. He was a cheerful Smurf, even if he did annoy every one. If some Smurf was down he would think of the best joke he knew to get the Smurf laughing agian-even if he himself was the but of the joke.

Grouchy, however, was known for his temper and glum mood. He hated everything from singing to dancing to other Smurfs. Nothing could make him happy except being away from others and having everything going his way. And even then he would still find something to complain about.

So everyone expected them to be enemies. But, being opposites, you would wonder if they really did. Opposites attract, right? And don't the usually attract... On accident?

Part I

It was a beautiful day in the Smurf village. The sun shined brightly, the grass was warm, and there was a pleasant breeze. The Smurflings played Smurf ball, Papa chatted with Brainy and Gutsy, and Smurfette carried a basket as she skipped around. Jokey Smurf hummed a happy tune as he walked. He held a box under his arm, and patted it every now and then. A few Smurfs gave him a glance and groaned, but Jokey paid them no mind. He was too focused on what the day would bring. Or, more importantly, what his new prank would bring.

He grinned as wide as he could. His latest prank would be his best yet! Not a silly bomb present, or something as unoriginal as marbles in a populated place. No, this... This would get a real laugh! This would make the Smurfs laugh for days! All he had to do was set it up, and then go down in history!

And he had just the spot to do it, too. There was a small clearing just outside of Smurf Village; Far enough away so nothing in the village would be damaged or cluttered, but close enough that he could still be seen by a curious Smurf. Which was exactly what he wanted.

Soon he had set up his marvelous trap, and he gazed at it with a loving look. The sun was lower on the horizon, but there was plenty of light to admire his handy work. This will be the best prank ever! He thought in awe of himself, I'll go down in Smurf history for this! He was so excited he did a little jig, grinning from ear to ear. He wondered who the unlucky Smurf would be that stumbled into his trap.

Brainy, maybe? He snickered. The oh so clever Smurf wouldn't see this one coming! What about Vanity? Ooh, that would be a real hoot! Gutsy or Hefty, maybe? Either of them would be made fools by his prank. He just hoped it would get Grouchy to laugh. The poor Smurf was always so uptight, and Jokey knew that couldn't be good for a Smurf. But seeing Grouchy laugh, oh man! That would be great!

He was so excited that he didn't pay attention to his own trap. He just sat there, grinning like a fool. At first he didn't notice that someone had given into their curiosity and approached the prankster Smurf. He was totally oblivious as the unknown Smurf walked up behind him. Unknown to Jokey, the other Smurf was watching him, suspicious of him.

"Jokey, what are you doing?"

The prankster Smurf nearly jumped out of his blue skin when he heard Smurfette's voice.

"O-oh! Smurfette! You scared the Smurf out of me!" He said as he quickly stood and looked at the girl. "I-I'm not doing anything! Nope, nothing at all..." He glanced behind him, making sure no parts of his masterpiece were visibly. Nope. He was good.

"Oh, really?" The Smurfette said, obviously not convinced. She moved to his side and glanced around. "You don't have any pranks planned today? You've been awfully quiet lately..."

He gulped, looking around. "Haha, nope! No jokes for Jokey today!" He couldn't risk her figuring it out and warning the others, and he knew that's what she would do.

"So, uh, why don't you head back to the village? It's getting late-" He saw her eyes widen, and he heard an aggravated voice behind him.

"What the Smurf? Where did all this Smurfing string come from?!"

Jokey cringed and turned around quickly. Not him, please, any one but him! But his silent plea went unheard, because there stood Grouchy tangled up in the first part of Jokey's trap. Jokey looked to his left and saw that his trap was beginning to work. A large plastic robot arm appeared from one of the nearby trees. It headed straight for Grouchy. Jokey didn't hear Grouchy's yelp of surprise of Smurfette's gasp of horror as he jumped in front of the grumpy Smurf.

The hand did just as Handy said it would; It grabbed Jokey by the torso and lifted him up. He could only widen his eyes in fright as the hand began phase three: Dunking him in a barrel of Smurfberry juice.

Sticky and dark blue, the jokester yelped in horror as he neared phase four. He had only a moment to think that this whole prank was a berry bad idea before being plunged and rolled in a pile of bird feathers.

The arm then held him upside down just above where Grouchy had untangled himself from the string and stood grinning.

"Well, hot-shot, how did that work for ya?" The grumpy Smurf snickered. Smurfette giggled despite her best efforts not to, and Jokey blushed.

"W-well, Grouchy Smurf, you must be a broom, because just swept me off my feet!"

The other Smurfs' eyes widened, and Jokey expected to get hit for his comment, but instead something strange happened.

Grouchy laughed. He actually laughed. At something Jokey had said.

The prankster looked to Smurfette, but she seemed just as confused as he was. She shrugged and walked off, sure the boys could handle themselves, and left Jokey, juiced and feathered, in Grouchy's hands.

"Well, Hero" Grouchy smirked as he finished, and Jokey shrank back as far as he could in the grip of the robot arm, "... Thanks." At Jokey's incredulous look the grouch continued, "You could have let me be pranked, but you didn't. And looking at you, I'm glad! I'm not going to say it again." He crossed his arms and glanced around, checking to see if anyone was watching, and Jokey gave him a confused look.

Jokey at first wondered if a feather had brushed against his cheek, that's how quick the kiss was. But, he decided later, giggling gleefully, you don't see sparks when a feather touches you.

It was these points that he repeated in his head over and over as he walked through the village. He thought of them to keep out the other Smurf's cheers and laughs, "Looking good, Jokey!" "Oy, 'aving issues, lad?" "Oh my Smurf, you got pranked?!"

He heard the taunts, sure, but he wasn't bothered by him. He knew his trap had failed epically, but that didn't bother him. He knew he would be washing juice and feathers off for days, but that also did not bother him. All because of one little triumphant voice in his head that reminded him: It was worth it.

Okay, so I suck at endings. Dunno when part two will be, don't even know if any one wants one, but meh.
