Hello, everybody! This chapter's just gonna be filled to the brim with good laughs and good news! The first good news I have to share is that the Smurfs are finally back on the disclaimers! Come on out, you guys!
(claps as the Smurfs and animals come out into the studio audience)
Grandpa: Well it's about time we got back here. I was wonderin' when we'd be comin' back!
Wooly: Well the important thing is that we're here now! And now the party can officially start!
Indeed it can, Wooly. Indeed it can. Another piece of good news! I have not one, but two contests in which any one of you can create your own Creatugo! However, to be fair, you can only put in one guess for one contest only. I want everyone to have a fair chance at it. I won't be announcing them until the end of the chapter, though. So keep an eye on it. Don't worry, though. They're easy ones. In fact, they're so easy, all you have to do is be the first to send in the correct answer. Time for the reviews!
FrittzyCrazy- Well, I feel honored that you feel honored to be mentioned by me. I think we all even have a 'Crazy' side to all of us. There's obviously one in Vanity for trying to take Crafty on in a fight.
Crafty: I'll say. Hummer puts up a better fight than you!
Vanity: Well you know if I could fight better that you would've deserved it!
Crafty: Blah blah blah! Maybe you should start working out then!
Anywho, Zinka17- I know, I wasn't planning on updating, but it turns out that if I only take one half of a pain pill once every few hours, I can feel the pain go away without feeling ditzy. Plus, I got some good inspiration and just had to get it down before it went away. The inspiration actually was that Gutsy practically that he fell in love with the Nerf launcher, thinking of it as Crafty's 'Smurf Cannon', surprisingly.
Gutsy: Aye. It could've used a bit more of a kick, though.
And I agree, Xavier can be quite a brat. And I actually almost did have him tell off Odile in the story, but let's just say the language he wanted to use wasn't exactly "K+" rating material.
Xavier: Well she would've deserved it, anyway.
Be that as it may, you couldn't risk blowing your cover. And yes, the two lovebirds are back together after being apart for an entire day. Though, it could've happened before but with what's happened to Crafty and Gutsy in that time, it would seem like a lot longer than that. And Vanity was stupid for trying to take Crafty on, but I don't think she exactly hates him. Do you, Crafty?
Crafty: What? No. I don't hate Vanity. I just hate that he never learns to keep his mouth shut when he knows he'll get in trouble for it. Other than that, he's just like the arrogant sister that thinks she's all that.
Vanity: Why thank you Craf-HEY! I am a Smurf! Not a Smurfette!
Crafty: True, but you're still annoying and arrogant like a sister.
Vanity: (grumbles angrily to self)
Okay. Believe it or not, Patrick makes a great connection with a lot of the creatures in this chapter and for the majority of them, I think you guys know why.
flowerpower71- I think everyone knows how badly Vanity needs to learn to shut up every once in a while. And I know! We're so proud of our favorite blue eagle that he finally flew for the first time ever!
Monty: Screee! (falls forward from the catwalk above the stage but opens his wings up, letting him land on the floor safely)
Daw! That's so nice of you to say that! The movie was great, I think my version is a bit more creative, but I didn't think people would picture it as being better than the actual story! Thank you so much for saying that!
Chloe- Good to know that your search for the Dark Princess is leading you somewhere. I hope you catch her soon! We'll be rooting for you down here on Planet Earth!
And one of my biggest fans, Benny- Um, you're gonna find out in the next story, but there's just one thing wrong you have with Ipati. Oh! And that's another thing I probably should've warned you about: Creatugos are forbidden to kill other Creatugos. Favian made that rule. And I know Ipati didn't follow that rule with that fight with Xavier, but again, that will be explained later.
And yes, I'm sure the Clockworks can do that. We just can't understand them clearly. I'm sorry to say, though, that Vanity can't go into your beautiful torture device until the end of the story. Then you can torture him.
Vanity: WHAT?!
I know. Xavier wasn't too thrilled with it, either. But if he wanted to go, that was the sacrifice he had to make. It may have been demeaning and embarrassing-
Xavier: (uses hind paws to scratch his neck) Not to mention itchy!
-but I think he did it for the Smurfs. And yeah, you'll be seeing more effects of the Life Giver's magic in the next story as well. AND I KNOW! GUTSY AND CRAFTY FOREVER!
Crafty: Uh, yeah. What would this story be without us? It'd fall apart!
As to the case of Smurfette's dress, it kinda looked like a light pink to me, close to white but still pink, but what do I know? Maybe I was the one looking at it wrong, but I'm staying by it and going with it. I already put it into the story and I'm not changing it because then I'd look like an idiot. And of course you can use those Smurfs to cuddle! Have fun!
Sapphire777- (smiles knowingly) Hmm. Now where have I seen this happen before? It couldn't have been made by flowerpower71. I know where it came from, I just can't place the name! I'm just kidding, I so know where you got that from. And hey, somebody had to do it to Gutsy, why not Crafty?
Gutsy: Yeah, but it really hurt! (rubs sore spot on his head)
Why did you do it, anyway?
Crafty: It wasn't because I was angry with him. To tell the truth, I hated that Cupid might've actually been right about all my anger going away, so if I just did it once, I wouldn't hear it from Xavier saying how I was wrong and Cupid was right.
But Cupid was right. You didn't feel any anger at all for him.
Crafty: (holds up hand) Let's just call it a draw and leave it at that.
Okay. It's time for the first disclaimer in this whole story that we've done together! Go!
Xavier: Frosty owns Crafty, me, Hummer, Meena, Toddlette, Ipati, Benevolent, Fencette, Almia and Monty.
Vanity: The Smurfs movie belongs to Sony Animation Studios and we Smurfs with Johan and Peewit belong to Peyo.
Gutsy: Livy belongs te flowerpower71.
Crafty: And Jo belongs to CartoonCaster21! Have a smurfy day!
"Well you know what? You can blame Xavier for this if your mushroom ends up being a wreck," Crafty blandly jabbed a thumb at the badger, still on the collar and leash.
"Hey! How's this my fault?!" He yelled indignantly.
"You should know by now, even with being with us for only three years that you never ever leave the Smurflings alone with Wild to play with and with Scaredy in charge, of all Smurfs!"
"Why? What's wrong with Scaredy being in charge?" Grace asked.
"It's not that big of a deal, but as the name implies, he's not what you'd call very 'authoritative'," Crafty air-quoted.
"She has a point, Xavier," Grandpa commented, still holding the pink bundle that was Toddlette. "And those Smurflings sure know how to get themselves into trouble."
"I just can't believe this," Patrick shook his head as he dug into his pocket for the keys to his apartment. "Why would you leave four kids alone with nobody in charge?"
"I never said that. I said Scaredy was in charge," Crafty explained frustrated.
Finally, Patrick was able to open the door and when they walked inside to see that the apartment was...!
Just as they left it. Nothing was out of place and not a single thing was broken.
"Huh. I thought for sure your mushroom would be a complete mess."
"If the Smurflings didn't do anything, then where are they, though?" Papa asked rubbing his white beard. A rough bark filled the room and Elway trotted in towards the front door. Puppy's ears perked up and he went forward to the new hound. The two sniffed each other, giving each other a bark in friendly greeting.
"Elway? Please tell me you know where the Smurflings are," Patrick rubbed a hand down his face. He muttered silently to himself, "And now I'm talking to my dog..."
Elway proceeded to the living room, Puppy following and the others shrugging and deciding to follow as well. Walking into the living room, Patrick and Grace froze instantly at the sight they were given to see. Xavier walked in right behind and stared blankly.
"You've got to be kidding."
"What? What happened?" Grandpa asked as the other Smurfs gathered up around. The Smurflings, Wild and Scaredy were cirecled around the television with something on.
"And remember if you get it on tape, you could get it in cash. Goodnight, everybody!" The man on the television said.
"YAY!" The Smurflings cried out with joy. "Again! Again!"
"Smurflings!" Papa called out to them. Instantly, the attention of the Smurfs in the room shot to Papa's voice.
"Papa!" The Smurflings and Scaredy cried out.
"Chee CROOOO!" Wild screeched out, leaping off of the couch and over to the Smurfs. He clung to Papa and licked his face repeatedly with joy and relief. The Smurflings and Scaredy clung to Papa Smurf, knocking him to the ground with hugs.
"We missed you so much, Pappy!" Sassette sobbed. "Don't ever leave us for that long ever again! Ya have to promise!"
Papa chuckled fondly, "Of course, Sassette. I promise I will never leave you all for so very long ever again."
"Smurf's Honor?" Nat asked pleadingly.
Papa nodded and pulled them closer to him, "Smurf's Honor."
"So, Scaredy," He asked the vibrating Smurf. "I hear you were put in charge of Wild and the Smurflings."
Scaredy gulped and replied shakily, "Uh-uh...Yes, Papa...Xavier was, but he said I-I was in charge until he got back..."
"Well, I must say that you did a wonderful job."
"I...I did?!" Scaredy asked shockingly.
"Yeah. I thought the Smurflings would easily overpower you," Xavier walked over to the chair, jumping on top of it and settling himself into it. Patrick looked at him strangely and shook his head, walking over to his office area.
"How did you do it?" Grouchy asked, not really believing Scaredy had the guts to get the Smurflings to do as they were told.
"I-I don't know...The Smurflings and W-Wild were running around and I tr-tried to get them under control when I accidentally stepped on that thing over there," Scaredy shakily pointed to the top of the table where the remote control to the television laid. "It turned on the television and it just kept them b-busy, I guess..."
"Well, nice work, Scaredy. You did a smurfy job," Crafty smiled, her waist being tugged at by Gutsy's arm. It was then the time that Vanity decided to ruin the moment for everyone.
"Papa Smurf!" He shouted, ruining Scaredy's proud, proud moment. "I demand that you punish Crafty as soon as smurfily possible!"
"Oh, here we go again!" Xavier groaned loudly slapping his paws over his ears.
"Vanity! Do we really need to do this? You'll wake the baby!" Crafty whispered loudly, pointing to the pink, wrapped up bundle in Grandpa's arms.
"Baby?" Papa asked shockingly.
"Baby?" Grace gasped excitedly.
"DAAAH!" Toddlette exclaimed loudly, catching the attention of the Smurfs and Grace.
"She's awake, now," Grandpa chuckled.
"Oh my gosh! She's so cute!" Grace gushed leaning down to smile at the infant. Toddlette's eyes widened drastically and she leaned back to see the human's full height.
Brainy interrupted with the clearing of his throat, "Actually, Miss Winslow, the baby Smurfs that come to our village are male, not female."
"Oh," Grace nodded. "But why is he dressed in pink, then?"
"I wouldn't know. Perhaps Sassette or Crafty dressed him up that way."
"It's because Toddlette is a girl, half wit!" Crafty answered directing her insult at Brainy. "If you don't believe me, take a smurf under her cap."
"Fine, I will!" Brainy huffed, lifting the infant's cap and not even bothering to look at her head. "See? Smooth as a Smurfling's bottom. Obvious proof that this is a baby Smurf, not a Smurfette."
Looking at the others, however, he saw that their faces held surprise, all except Crafty's who was filled with smugness. He looked down at the baby's head and was shocked to see tufts of midnight black hair coming out of her head.
"I smurf my case," Crafty smugly stated.
Papa cleared his throat, picking up the small stargazer in the process, "Well, this has been an interesting development and I will look into this in time, but for now, I must go and read the stars. Grandpa, would you be so kind as to assist me?"
"I would like nothing more right now," Grandpa smiled. He walked up to Grouchy and put Toddlette into his arms, "Here, Grouchy. If Baby can make you crack a smile at home, Toddlette will have you grinning like a maniac in no time."
"I hate grinning like a maniac," Grouchy complained. Toddlette giggled and smacked at Grouchy's nose, finding great amusement in it much like Baby did back in the village. Grouchy groaned inwardly, admitting to himself that she was really really cute. Too cute. Almost made him want to smurf. Almost.
"But-! But what about Crafty?" Vanity complained, gesturing to the said Smurfette. "She's the reason we're all here in first place!"
"And isn't that a crying shame, Vanity!" Xavier grumbled. "You need to get over the fact that you got beat up by a girl twice in one day."
"Twice?" Wooly and Sweepy asked, now becoming curious. "When did she smurf him once?"
"When she smurfnapped me!" Vanity moaned angrily. He dramatically threw the back of his hand to his forehead and put on a sorrowful face, "Oh, it was horrible! She went animalistic on me!"
"I will not lie. I really did," Crafty admitted. Then she angrily hissed, "But that was because you were going to rat me out to Hefty! I had no choice!"
"Regardless! You did it! And I'm sure that no Smurf here is very happy with what you've done to me!"
"I don't know. I was pretty amused when I saw it," Snappy smirked.
"You saw it happening? And you did nothing to stop it?!" Vanity practically shrieked.
"Uh, yeah. Isn't that what I just said?" Snappy scratched his head.
"Why? Why didn't you stop her?"
Snappy scoffed, as if the answer were too obvious, "Because it was awesome! You Smurfs should've seen her whoop Vanity! She was pow! RAAWR!"
Snappy then tackled Slouchy to the the ground, the two Smurflings rolling around trying to reenact the fight. Well, at least one of them were trying to. Snappy grinned and yanked Slouchy's hat over his eyes and pinned him down by his ankles and wrists.
"How was that, Crafty?" Snappy asked.
Crafty put a hand to her chin in thought, "Not bad. But it needs some work."
"What?! I put all my smurfiness into that!" Snappy huffed, crossing his arms feeling completely insulted.
"Then again," Crafty shrugged with a smirk. "Slouchy put up a better fight than Vanity ever could."
Toddlette giggled and clapped her hands, almost as if she understood the joke herself. It may have been that, or it might have been from all the howling laughs that came from the surrounding Smurfs. Vanity's face instantly turned dark purple with anger but instead of yelling like he really wanted to, he turned his nose up in the air and huffed, completely ignoring her altogether.
"Besides, Vanity," Smurfette interrupted, pulling on Crafty's arm and away from Gutsy. "Crafty has no time to get in trouble. She needs to get smurfed up because we both got a new dress today, which she agreed to wear it with me and show them to you guys."
"Really?" Gutsy asked with a ridged eyebrow, his tail waggling with anticipation. He always though she looked the most beautiful when she was in a dress.
"I never said that," Crafty hastily answered. She turned to Smurfette with a glare, "I never said that!"
"Okay, now you have to show us the dress!" Wooly hollered, slamming his fists down on the arm of the chair Xavier was on.
"C'mon, Crafty!"
"Yeah! Show us the dress!"
"OKAY!" Crafty yelled. "I'll wear the dress for you guys on one condition!"
The others leaned in, maybe almost fearfully as to what it was. She smirked as she jabbed a finger at Fencette, "I'll wear it if Fencette wears a dress, too."
The Smurfs around her gasped in utter horror and shock. Don Smurfo's eyes went wide and his cheeks flushed a bright purple with the thought of Fencette in a dress. Actually, it wasn't such a bad thought.
Fencette, on the other hand, glared so hard at her creator that she was surprised she wasn't dead yet.
"What?" She asked, venom dripping from her voice and directing it at Crafty, who seemed completely unfazed.
Crafty smiled, "You heard me. I don't get into one unless you do, too."
"B-but...I have no dress to wear!" Fencette defended, feeling instant relief. "Therefore, I cannot wear something I do not have."
"Oh actually, I thought you and Sassette might like a dress, so I looked around and found a perfect dress for the both of you," Smurfette then shrunk down as Fencette sent a poisonous stare at her.
Crafty smirked, "You're not afraid, are you?"
Fencette scoffed, "Of course not! I fear nothing and nobody!"
"Good. Let's get dolled up then," Crafty grabbed Fencette by her arm, though she stumbled and almost fell forward at feeling Fencette's resistance as she turned stiff. Crafty growled as she tried to move her, "Come on, Fencette! Move!"
Smurfette came over and grabbed Fencette's other arm, but even with their combined strength it was near to impossible to get Fencette to move.
The remaining Smurfs along with few of the animals sat on the windowsill of the Winslow apartment as they impatiently waited for Papa and Grandpa to finish their calculations. Though they had faith in the both of them , they were becoming discouraged when they had not heard anything. Especially after two hours of waiting.
The Smurflings paced around, still observing the new surroundings of this new world. Wild was also pacing on all fours, silently whimpering at being homesick, especially from Chitter and his tree.
"Papa and Grandpa should be done by now," Brainy stated being the first to break the silence.
"Yeah. Enough with the suspense," Grouchy complained. "I wanna go home."
Clumsy nodded and gave a, "Me, too."
Gutsy jumped from his place on the bottom stair of the fire escape and said, "Yeah. Now dat that wily wizard's got our scent, it's a whole new wager. Wit'out that Blue Moon, our giblets are gravy."
The Smurfs turned to him with confused expressions. Alomar and Almia cocked their heads to the side in complete confusion.
"What in Smurf's name is that supposed to mean?" Sweepy asked incredulously.
"I think it basically means if we don't get out of here soon..." Don Smurfo started.
"Then we're smurfed for sure," Wooly finished with a sigh.
Meanwhile, with Patrick in his office...
Patrick hummed to himself as he made the finishing touches to his creation inspired by the blue guests in his home. It was actually something he was considering to put up as the campaign for the Angelou launch. It consisted of the blue moon on a starry night, hovering over a lake with the waves gently swaying, also glowing blue from the moon's light.
Monty hopped onto the desk, cautiously walking over to the computer. He saw from before that the human male could have a short temper sometimes, so he was sure not to get too close to his work, but couldn't help but be curious as to what Patrick was doing.
"Click click click crooo..." He marveled at the sight of the blue moon on the monitor. It was amazing that he could create such a thing on the machine, but it was a shame that it couldn't be used to open the portal home.
Patrick gave the bird a small smile, "You like that, huh?"
Monty clicked joyfully and nodded his head rapidly. Patrick thought for a moment, then went back to his work, keeping it out of his sight as he tried to get a look at what he was trying to do. Finally, Patrick turned the monitor back around, "How about that?"
Monty's eyes went wide with amazement as he saw the screen. Under the blue moon was his company name, Anjelou, was printed in light blue colors, but that wasn't what caught his attention. In the center of the blue moon, a magnificent blue eagle had his wings spread out above his head and his head facing down, like it was hunting for fish.
The blue mechanical eagle let out a low appreciative caw in gratitude, not letting his eyes stray from the bird that looked so much like him. Patrick smiled at his handy work, then frowned. It did look amazing, but probably not amazing enough for Odile to approve of.
"No. Play it safe," he muttered shaking his head. He saved the picture and closed it down, making Monty squawk in protest. He pulled up another picture, one that Monty obviously had no taste for it whatsoever as he tried pressing buttons to bring back the blue moon. He pushed him away and typed into an e-mail, "'Odile, pending your approval, it's ready to go to the billboard agency.'"
Patrick sighed, looking over the e-mail apprehensively, "Well, here goes nothing."
He pressed the 'Enter' button, sending the e-mail to his boss for her approval. He went and turned to leave his office for some coffee to calm his nerves, that was until he noticed the majority of the Smurfs at the windowsill, all looking distressed.
"Well, it's off. Time to either celebrate or file for unemployment," He muttered to himself mostly, until he noticed that they all seemed anxious and depressed. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I-I'm sure we'll be fine," Brainy said to the others, though it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself rather than the others.
"That one's hypersmurfilating," Gutsy determined from the tears that Brainy was trying to desperately keep in.
"Yeah, tell me about it," Grouchy rolled his eyes, but still couldn't help but feel bad for his younger brother.
"It's all this waitin' dat's killin' us," Gutsy answered on behalf of the other Smurfs.
"Yeah," Clumsy nodded.
"I know the feeling," Patrick nodded, he himself going through the same thing at that very moment. He suddenly got an idea, a smile coming onto his face, "Better yet, I know the cure."
He gestured for them to follow him into the living room. They looked at each other confused, but shrugged and followed anyway. Almia and Alomar flew overthe Smurfs and into the living room where Patrick was setting up the Play Station 3 for use.
"What're you doing?" Sweepy asked curiously.
Hummer hopped onto the table, followed by Brainy, Grouchy and Gutsy. Patrick picked up the plastic guitar in his hand and turned on the game. On the television was a screen with bright colors. Patrick seemed to go down a list of strange phrases, until he seemed to find one that he liked.
Music started playing from the television. It was strange and different, but the Smurfs had to admit it, it was catchy.
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy, he say
He said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
The Smurfs observed how Patrick pressed onto the buttons on the plastic guitar, somehow making the thing on the television do whatever it was he was doing.
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
Oh, the times I could reminisce
Hummer's toes started tapping to the beat of the song. Soon, his hips starting rotating, making little circles with his body as it got in tune with the music.
"Whoo! Go Hummer!" Wooly cheered, seeing the hummingbird move and move, dancing like he had never before. Hummer heard other encouraging cries from the other Smurfs, even the other animals. So, he kept on dancing, hopping around the table as he continued swaying his hips.
'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this!
"See, you just match the colors with the buttons," Patrick explained, showing the colored buttons to the Smurfs so they could comprehend it better.
She starts swingin'
With the boys in tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swigin' like it just don't care
"Here, you try," Patrick offered holding the guitar down to the other Smurfs who want to try.
Grouchy jumped onto the guitar, hitting onto the button to keep the music playing.
"Hey, go Grouchy!" Gutsy hollered.
"Hey, look at me guys! I'm shredding!" Grouchy crooned from his spot.
So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a lady that was ready to play
It wasn't me she was foolin'
Cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told how to walk this way
She told me to-
"Walk this way!" Patrick sang. He turned to the Smurfs while still playing, "You sing!"
"Talk this way!" Gutsy, Grouchy and Brainy sang all at once. "Just give me a kiss!"
It was surprising to Patrick that they knew the words to the song, but the Smurfs knew better. They had heard Jo and Livy listen and even sing to the same exact song multiple times, so many times that they basically knew the song by heart. The screen suddenly turned to the fake people on the screen playing the music. The man's mouth was wide open with his tongue out.
"It's a rock face," Patrick explained, noticing the strange faces made by the Smurfs. Gutsy, Brainy and Grouchy copied the face for their own, which actually got a good laugh from the others. "It's Gene Simmons. He's a..."
He hesitated at seeing the curious looks on the faces of the Smurfs.
"Never mind," He said, then sang out, "Like this!"
Clumsy grabbed onto the drumsticks lying next to the drum set that was also part of the game. He tapped them both on the gray circles, each making a sound like it were a real drum. The next lines, considering it's they knew the beat, the three Smurfs decided to add their own smurfy attitude to the song.
Grouchy: Smurfette sweetie is a classy kinda sassy
Gutsy: Little skirts climbin' way up her knee
Both: Not another single girl in the whole smurfing world
And I can't believe she's looking at-
Brainy: ME! It was a complete-
Grouchy and Gutsy: Surrender!
Brainy: To the power of her-
Grouchy and Gutsy: Gender!
Brainy: So I close my eyes and make a wish!
Grouchy and Gutsy: I just want to-
Brainy: Savor!
Grouchy and Gutsy: All her smurfberry-
Brainy: Flavor!
Altogether: So I smurfed her just a little kiss, like this!
"Check out Clumsy!" Gutsy pointed at the drum set, where the others saw that Clumsy was banging on the drums, his clumsiness actually making the music sound better.
"Whoa, Clumsy!" Grouchy actually sounded impressed.
"Bravo, Clumsy!" Don Smurfo applauded.
Patrick knelt to the ground, holding the guitar up horizontally, "C'mon, Gutsy!"
The Scottish Smurf didn't need any further encouragement and hopped right onto the guitar, starting a sort of Scottish dance right there and then. Of course, completely by coincidence, that was the time that the Smurfettes decided to turn the corner into the living room. Crafty smiled and leaned against the corner of the door, getting a good show in the process.
Huh. So this is what bachelor Smurfs are like when they're left alone.
Completely unaware of the presence of the other Smurfettes, he continued dancing, continuously performing back flips, only further impressing the other Smurfs and his beloved.
"Nice!" Patrick nodded, setting the guitar closer to the table.
"Thank you!" Gutsy jumped back onto the table, obviously impressed himself on his own display. "That was rare!"
Very rare, indeed, Crafty thought, feeling very impressed.
The music suddenly changed and the Smurfs started to sing their special song again to the rhythm. Only this time, Patrick had to admit that it wasn't half as annoying as the original version.
La la la la la la la la la la la
And soon, all the Smurfs in the room were singing to it, even the animals started to make noises. Heck, even Xavier started humming to the beat. Grace joined the Smurfettes at the edge of the door, smiling at how much fun everyone was having, especially Patrick.
La, la la la la-WHOA!
The Smurfs suddenly stopped, finally acknowledging the women at the door. Mainly, all eyes were on the Smurfettes. Well, the two they could see, anyway. Fencette was hidden, feeling much like Crafty did the first time she was to wear a dress at the Springtime Ball.
Smurfette, who just noticed that all eyes were on them, came up and said, "Hey guys? What do you think of our new dresses?"
Smurfette's dress was a very light pink, almost a white. She also wore new short heels that was also a very light pink. A small red flower was tucked in behind her ear, only making her dress seem even more beautiful.
Crafty, who's full attention that she had was Gutsy's, wore a dress in the same style as Smurfette's, only it was dark blue in color and the ribbon around the waist was a light blue. Her hair was done in a triplet french braid with a mixture of light and dark blue flowers braided in. The rest of her hair was gracefully hanging down her back. She also sported new shoes, being short-heeled and dark blue. The only personal touches she put on herself was her blue plaid neckerchief and the glowing amethyst necklace laying on her neck.
Crafty suddenly rolled her eyes, "Fencette! Come out here!"
"No! You cannot make me, either!" Her voice sounded from the other side of the wall.
"We had a deal! The sooner you smurf it, the sooner you can take it off!" Crafty reasoned, starting to lose her patience.
Fencette sighed, "Fine! But only for a moment!"
She walked out into the open and there was a loud collection of gasps. Fencette was cross-armed and scowl-faced, but still didn't look any less beautiful as she did. She was dressed in a forest green, single strapped gown that seemed to be made entirely of silk. She still wore her green hat, boots and cloak, but for the first time that anybody had seen, she neglected to put on her mask. Even her hair was different: It was braided in a waterfall french braid style, making it look like onyx colored ribbons were spread out on across her back.
"I look ridiculous, no?" She asked, seeming like she didn't really care what they thought.
Scaredy, who was wide-eyed from even first looking at Smurfette, made a meek little sound and fell flat on his face unconscious.
"I told you you'd be a knockout," Crafty smugly remarked.
Suddenly, air started coming from the vent directly underneath Smurfette, blowing some air up her dress. She blushed as she tried to push the dress down, all while the other two Smurfettes were doing their best to keep their giggles concealed.
"Whoa! Is there a draught in here?" More air suddenly blew up, blowing the red flower out of her hair and the bottom of her dress more up. Much more up. Her face turned purple and Crafty and Fencette burst out laughing as she said, "Oh! Okay, that's not what I had in mind!"
"Neither did they, apparently," Fencette snickered out, gesturing to the dopey faces of the Smurfs. "But it looks like they enjoyed the show!"
"Wow," Brainy sighed, stumbling backwards in bliss.
"Are ye thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Gutsy asked the other Smurfs, eyes filled with exceptional mischief.
"So sorry boys," Smurfette's eyes then wandered to the side. "AHH!"
Crafty stared in almost unconcealed surprise and Fencette just let out a strong outbursts of giggles.
"Oh yeah that cools the giblets!" Gutsy sighed in ecstasy, letting the air fly up his kilt. "Nothin' like a cool breeze through my enchanted forest!"
How the smurf did he even get there so fast? Crafty shook her head at the thought, now hearing only the sound of the Smurf's laughter.
"Ye look good, lassie. Very good," Gutsy purred, circling Crafty almost possessively, stopping and placing a hand on her bare shoulder. She smiled, pretending not to notice.
A sudden beeping came from Patrick's computer. He instantly went to it and his eyes went wide with happiness, "It's approved."
"What?" Grace asked.
"She approved it! She approved the ad!"
"She loved it?!" Grace asked happily.
Patrick read over it, "Well, she said approved, so coming from her, that's love!"
"Oh my goodness!" Grace embraced Patrick in a hug and all the Smurfs started to cheer.
"Way to go, pencil neck!" Xavier exclaimed, though it was meant to be playful.
"Good for you, amigo!" Wooly grinned.
"Should I send it? I'm not going to," Patrick hesitated.
"Yes! Do it!" Grace encouraged. "Do it this minute!"
"Just do it, already!" Crafty shouted.
"I'll do it! All right," Patrick kissed two of his fingers, held it out for Grace to kiss, then pressed the 'Enter' button on the computer, sending the message through.
"Tomorrow this'll be on every billboard in New York City."
"It's a go, laddie boy!" Gutsy crooned from his spot beside Crafty.
"Well done, Master Winslow," Papa nodded his head, he and Grandpa returning to the living room.
"Oh! Hey guys, Papa and Grandpa's back!" Smurfette called out.
"Papa! Grandpa!" Brainy asked. "Are your calculations done?"
"We're nearly out of smurfberries," Gutsy said to the elder Smurf.
Papa clasped his hands together, "It's proving more difficult than we hoped."
"But we are going home, right?" Clumsy asked from atop the desk.
"Sure we are, Clumsy," Grandpa smiled and nodded.
"Of course we are. Just not tonight," Papa smiled at them. "Now, off to bed."
"I was hoping I'd be sleeping in my own mushroom tonight," Brainy sighed.
"I miss the other Smurfs," Smurfette muttered.
"Me too," Clumsy sighed, lying in what looked like a slipper. "I've never spent the night away from home before..."
"Well, there was last night, but who could sleep?" Grouchy asked half heartily, holding Toddlette close to him in his arms.
With the new guests in the house, Patrick and Grace had to make new arrangements and so did the Smurfs. The Smurflings were lying throughout the room with the other Smurfs: Sassette with Smurfette, Slouchy with Brainy, Nat and Scaredy with Xavier, and Snappy with Don Smurfo on top of Alomar. Vanity was with Hummer and Monty, who were close together next to Alomar and Almia. Wooly, Sweepy and Wild were cozily nestled on Xavier's back and Puppy was with Elway, whose ear provided as a blanket for Gutsy and Crafty who were lying close together.
"We know how you guys feel," Sweepy solemnly sighed. "It wasn't easy for us, either."
"Shh. Hush. Hush now, Smurfs," Papa coaxed soothingly, lighting a few candles in the living room to provide light. "Everything's going to be just fine."
"Just wait and see, whippersmurfers. We'll be home sooner than you can say 'smurfberry pie'," Grandpa joked.
"Papa?" Smurfette asked sadly from her own bed. "Do you really believe we're ever gonna get home to the other Smurfs?"
"Don't worry. We'll be reunited with the others soon enough," Papa gave them all a small smile before he went to continue with his calculations with Grandpa. His smile fell as he muttered to himself, "If only the stars would align."
The two old Smurfs looked and saw Patrick looking at the both of them with something not to far from sympathy. They went on ahead and turned around, heading back to the roof of the apartment building to finish the calculations.
Brainy suddenly sighed, "You know who I miss? Chef Smurf. Hefty Smurf. Heh, Jokey Smurf."
Ah, Hefty, Crafty smiled. He's so gonna have my head when we get back.
"Greedy. Narrator," Smurfette smiled.
"Painter. Baker," Clumsy listed.
"Miner. Crazy," Crafty chuckled.
"Harmony," Grouchy put in.
"Oh, I miss Complimentary Smurf! He always had such nice things to say," Brainy piped.
"I'll tell you who I don't miss, Passive-Aggressive Smurf," Smurfette stated. The others nodded and agreed with her. It wasn't that they hated him, it was just weird around him.
"He's always so nice, but when he leaves, you feel bad," Clumsy said, also earning a few nods.
"What do ye say we get te sleep, lassie?" Gutsy asked, tugging on Crafty's waist towards him. She smiled and scooted closer to him, turning over so that she would be facing him.
"I would say you're on the right track there, Blue Kilt," She yawned softly, closing her eyes and cuddling her face into his chest.
Gutsy smiled, almost about to close his eyes as well, but then frowned to himself. He looked down at Crafty's face and gulped silently, suddenly feeling nervous.
No! Don' back out now! Just ask her!
He sighed and closed his eyes tightly, whispering out at a volume only the two could hear, "Lassie?"
"Hmm?" Crafty's thin eyebrows raised in response.
"Will...Will ye marry me?"
Though he couldn't see it, Crafty's eyes opened up, she looked over his handsome features. Her eyes traced over them carefully, almost as if she were looking for anything that indicated that he was just making a joke.
Finally, she smiled and closed her eyes, nestling her face into the crook of his neck, whispering close to his ear, "Of course. How could I say no?"
His drowsiness and his impressive self-control was all that kept him from running and jumping up and down all around the room. He gave her a grin, though it was unseen.
Crafty's eyes opened as she felt something on her hand. They drifted down to see Gutsy placing something on her right hand. His hand moved to reveal that she was now wearing a silver ring with the glowing amethyst. The same hand closed over hers, clamping down on it.
"I love you so very much, Crafty," Gutsy whispered, hugging her ever so closer to him.
"I love you too, Gutsy," Crafty sighed blissfully, letting sleep overcome her.
Back in the world of the Smurfs, much farther away from the village than any Smurf could ever imagine, a lone ribbon seal's eyes suddenly flashed a bright, smurfy blue as they snapped open from sleep. The seal lifted his head up from the large boulder he was lying on and into the distance.
His blue, Smurf-like eyes narrowed and he let out a vicious growl, teeth barred and all. He threw his body off of the boulder and into the ocean, constantly leaping out of the water and towards the direction his instincts had told him to go.
Well, that's the end of this chapter. Personally, the "Walk This Way" scene in the movie was my all-time favorite scene! To all of your hopes and wishes, I hope, Crafty and Gutsy are finally together, which is one of the contest. Which Adam Sandler movie was it like the way that Gutsy proposed to Crafty? It should be easy for you.
The second contest of this story is this: At the beginning, the Smurflings were distracted by a program on the TV instead of destroying the apartment (which I thought would happen, too). Which one was it? The phrase should help.
And remember, each of you can only answer to one of these contests. You cannot reply to both and expect to win twice. It wouldn't be fair to everyone else. Anyway, have a smurfy day!
