Hello! I'm so so so sorry I haven't updated in like forever...well, more like two weeks, but it feels like forever. I've been up to my eyeballs in makeup work from my surgery and then my birthday was just last Wednesday and...anyway, the important thing is that I'm here now and I'm determined to finish this story at the latest by my SAT's which are next Saturday, if not then the next Monday or Tuesday, so let's get started.
I'm happy to say that I got just the response I was hoping from you guys and then some. I hope you guys are enjoying this, cause there's gonna be another good two, three chapters to go for this story. Hey, for anybody who's actually watched the movie, you knew it was coming close to the conclusion already. And let's give a big round of applause to our winners for our contests: flowerpower71 and Sapphire777! Congratulations! The show was indeed America's Funniest Home Videos! Seriously! Who doesn't love that show? It has everything! And it was 50 First Dates that was the reference for how Gutsy proposed to Crafty.
Oh, and I'm happy to announce that we have a tie for the biographies. Xavier and Benevolent, and since the poll's been up for long enough, I've decided to do both of them when this story is over along with the next main story line.
Just like for Benny, I'll make you both a sort of Creatugo "Application form" so you know what you need to do to officially make the animal itself. I will, however, need them both by the end of this story for they will appear in the next. One more thing before we start: Before you ask why the chapter is named "Smurfing" just read the beginning of the chapter and you'll know. Time for reviews!
flowerpower71- Once again, congratulations on winning. It figures the Smurflings and Wild would be like most children today: Just stick them in front of a TV and they just zone right out. Hey, I figured that since the opportunity arose, I would use it. Plus, it's been so long since you guys have been mentioned. You'll be appearing soon enough, but still. The scene with Patrick and Monty was actually inspired by "Mr. Popper's Penguins." The scene was just too cute to pass up! Hummer got the daisies by the way and he adores them.
Hummer: Chir chir chirp!
And you know, somesmurf had to faint. I thought it wouldn't have been as good if it were Don Smurfo or the others that did it, so Scaredy took the fall. And I'm happy you brought up not seeing Don Smurfo's reaction. I'll be getting to why I did that at the end of the disclaimer.
Benny- I'm so glad you feel that way considering that flowerpower71 already won that contest. Naw, I'm kidding. It still would've been nice of you, though. Thank you. Not killing each other is probably the one rule that Favian made that the Creatugos probably hate considering some of them get on each other's nerves so badly that they do want to kill each other. And oh my gosh, you did that too?! I played that scene over and over until my mom and sister just flipped out at me! Then I just started to play it over and over again on my laptop. I don't know why I never thought of it in the first place. And congratulations on being the first to put it's about time that Gutsy proposed to Crafty! I hear wedding bells!
Crafty: (blushes) Aw, come on! Just because he proposed doesn't mean that we're getting married right away. (turns to Gutsy) Does it?
Gutsy: (blushes just as hard) Uh...Not unless ye want te get married now...I'd prefer te wait a little longer, but if ye want to...
Crafty: No, no. I can wait a little longer. We can wait until we're both ready. (grabs braid)
The smurf-sized electric chair tells me you still want to torture Vanity. I give you permission to do so, but we need him for the next story too, so please try to be gentle with him. And I actually don't mind the criticism so long as it's in reasonable harshness. It helps me see what good and bad I've done. Don't worry about offending me. You're just curious and didn't know and that's fine with me.
Yes, I consider you one of my biggest fans considering your one of the few that leave the longest reviews in a lot of the chapters, you're very perceptive of everything that happens and you put in you honest opinions about it. Scaredy was just so overwhelmed by the beauty of the Smurfettes that he just couldn't take it. I knew it would be funny to you guys, but I didn't think I'd get that many laughs. And I know! I heard the song that same day too! Right when I was writing the same scene, too!
bridget- I know. Isn't everything in this whole chapter so very sweet?
Sapphire777- Sorry that I didn't go for the tv show like you asked, but you were the first and really the only one to send in the right answer for the movie reference, so, I had no choice but to award you it. Actually, you're the only one who sent in an answer for that contest. And don't feel bad about answering to both. Technically, I said you couldn't reply to them both and expect to win both.
Hmm. Considering you don't have an account...actually won't be much a probably at all. I think I'll just put up a sort of new Smurfs story and have the both of you application there. Plus, if there are any other future winners, they can just refer to that. Still, I can't believe I didn't account for someone that didn't have an account to answer first. Not that they couldn't and I'm not trying to offend you, but yeah, I need to think these things through better.
Another thing, I'm glad you brought up the seal scene at the end of the story. I'm sure that you guys forgot already, but that very ribbon seal is the Smurf that wants the two apart. Doesn't make sense to you? Good. Didn't expect it to. It's mostly in the next story that every single little thing you don't know about now will make perfect sense in the next story.
Zinka17- Yes. Gutsy did it in a strange way, but hey, the guy was nervous. Plus, if you were gone from your lady (I know you're a girl, but bear with me here) for so long and were back together, wouldn't you want to ask her one of the most important questions ever in case she was ever snatched away from you and never seen again? Okay, that was a bit high strung, but you get the point. And of course she doesn't hate Vanity. Or Brainy for that matter. She's just greatly and easily annoyed by them just like everybody else.
Brainy and Vanity: HEY!
Don't fight the truth, you two Smurfs! And Scaredy didn't really make the choice to pass out like that. It wasn't even in the script to do it like that, but we took it anyway.
Spring-Heel-Jacq- It may have been my fault that I misspelled your name and if I did, I'm sorry. I think you need to reread those chapters a little more slowly and carefully so you'll know when all of that stuff happened. And I know I made a mistake on my part about Ipati's skin, but I kinda caught it a little too late. And I just assumed people would know I meant Clockwork Smurfette and not the blonde Smurfette, so also my bad.
As for Chapter 7, think about it: Why did Hefty get angry and who is he angry at?...I'm just gonna save you the trouble. It's Crafty who I was referring to.
In Chapter 10, yes it was Vanity kicking Alomar because he was blindfolded and tied up and didn't know where he was. He was still lying on Xavier's back when they were sucked through the portal, then thrown off when they got into the park, then Grandpa took him and put him on Alomar when they went to look for the six missing Smurfs. Oh, and I think you'll like how I do it on my part when Brainy goes to get the other Smurfs.
One more thing: Just WOW. You have a lot of favorite parts in this story, don't you? I'm glad you liked so many of them.
Three more announcements I need to make: For all you fluff lovers (I'm looking at you, flowerpower71) out there, I think you'll enjoy the beginning of this romantic comedy chapter. The romance mostly but also the comedy.
Also, with every great movie, there are bloopers and deleted scenes. The last chapter won't be the last. It will end the story, but the bloopers and deleted scenes that I thought about putting in, but decided not to. For all those who were disappointed about not seeing Don Smurfo's reaction to Fencette wearing a dress, well, you'll get you're reaction then. If there are any scenes you'd like to see that wasn't in the story, just send it into your reviews.
Finally, thanks to my newest obsession, The Swan Princess trilogy and the inspiration given by flowerpower71's 'Smurfing a Spellbound Swan,' I made a new story, 'Fluffin' the Puffn.' If you guys are ever so interested, feel free to give it a read and give me some feedback. Disclaimer time!

All: Have a smurfy day!
Crafty's eyes fluttered open even before the dawn set in, much like every morning. She wasn't sure why it happened, but all she knew was that it happened. Looking around, she saw the other Smurfs were still sleeping soundly, curled up and happily snoozing away.
Out of complete instinct, she tried to roll over and out of her bed, but was pulled back by a strong force. The sound of Gutsy's soft snoring filled her hearing and she finally remembered last night. She couldn't help the large smile that came onto her face as she looked down at her right hand, the silver amethyst ring glistening even with what little light there was.
Man does this Smurf have a tight grip! She let out a breath as she tried again to escape her fiance's grip. Still, the more she moved, the tighter Gutsy's unconscious grip on her became.
Finally, she just became still, thinking and thinking of a way to get his grip off of her. The only way she could think to do it was to wake him up and get his arms off of her then. Crafty kissed his nose, whispering to him softly, "Gutsy, wake up. I want to see my groom-to-be's eyes."
Gutsy groaned silently and clung to her closer, mumbling, "Five more minutes."
"No," Crafty childishly moaned. "I wanna see them now! Please? For your future wife?"
Crafty gave him huge eyes, but Gutsy didn't need to open his own to know he was getting them. He smiled and squinted his eyes open slightly.
"How can I say no te that beautiful voice?" He murmured.
"You can't," Crafty teased.
Gutsy gave out a quiet, playful growl, "Ye know, lassie? Just because we're in another mushroom, doesn't mean I can't smurf ye senseless."
"Don't," she begged being only half serious. "They're still sleeping!"
"And...since when have we ever cared before?" Gutsy mused, letting his hand roam down to her waist and then onto her hip.
"Uh, since now when it wakes up Smurfs and animals that are trying to get some sleep!" Xavier opened one blue eye and growled at the two.
"Well, who said ye have te listen? I don' remember invitin' you to watch us smurf," Gutsy rolled his eyes.
Xavier blinked, "I don't know what that means and frankly, I'm grateful for that."
The two snickered, finally getting up from their spot under Elway's drooping ear. The two stretched, letting their bodies wake officially wake up from sleep. Xavier followed suite, standing up on his four paws and shaking his muscles, forgetting that he had sleeping Smurfs on him. Wild slid off of Xavier's head while still asleep and let out a shriek when his body made contact with the floor. Scaredy, Nat, Wooly and Sweepy clung onto Xavier's fur to keep from falling.
The other Smurfs woke up with a start, all except for Toddlette who was quite the heavy sleeper.
"What the smurf is going on?!" Grouchy growled, obviously not pleased with being woken up.
"Nothing," Xavier started. "The two lovebirds were uh...smurfing with each other and to be blunt, it woke me up and it's grossing me out."
Gutsy and Crafty looked at the badger with horrified expressions on their faces, not to mention both were purple in the face with embarrassment. The other Smurfs looked at them in complete shock with the same amount of horror, all except for Wild and the Smurflings, who had no idea what the word meant. Not that the others were complaining. The animals only tilted their heads confused at the word.
"Crafty," Smurfette started, still wide-eyed. "Please tell me you really didn't..."
Crafty hastily shook her head with an intense blush on her cheeks.
"Oh ho ho!" Wooly grinned wolfishly. "Gutsy, you Smurf! Were you really...?"
"No!" Gutsy growled, sending a glare at Xavier.
"What? What'd I say?" He looked around, honestly not knowing what he meant when he said they were "smurfing".
"Believe me, you really don't want to know," Crafty put up a hand, desperately wanting to salvage what dignity she and her mate had left.
Toddlette finally rose from her sleep, babbling happily in Grouchy's arms. She giggled loudly, trying to gain the attention of the others, which she successfully did. Really, who could ignore something so adorable?
Crafty chuckled and waved to her, "Good morning, Toddlette."
Sweepy yawned, "Well, so long as we're all awake, what now? It seems a tad too early for breakfast."
"I don't know about you Smurfs," Vanity started, taking a look around the room with a look of disgust on his face. "But I must say that this place really needs a makeover."
"Wow," Crafty said surprised. "That's the smartest thing you've said the whole time we've been here, Vanity."
"Humph!" Vanity huffed. "You act as if I never smurf up with brilliant ideas."
"You don't," Crafty stated, no sign of her joking coming from it.
Grace and Patrick were still sound asleep though the sun had already risen in New York City. Even for a work day, the two were enjoying getting in some time to sleep in. Not much time compared to other work days, but still enough for them to relax.
A loud beeping sound filled the air of the room and Patrick groaned, hitting the snooze button on his alarm clock. Still, the alarm kept blaring and blaring in his ear drums. The strange thing, though, was that he didn't remember even setting the alarm clock at all.
"Patrick," Grace tiredly mumbled. "Turn the alarm off."
"I'm trying," he grumbled, hitting the snooze button harder. Even still, the alarm clock still kept going off and off. Finally, just when it was getting on his final nerve and since he was really too tired to really care, Patrick knocked the alarm clock down onto the floor, hoping it broke and would stop.
It didn't. It still just kept going off. He groaned and reached for the outlet where the clock was plugged in and yanked on the cord. The alarm did turn off, but quickly turned into a sort of...cawing noise?
Patrick sat up and looked up at the bed post behind him, frowning at the source of the noise. Monty was perched there, somehow imitating the clock's alarm and then sounding his signature caw to hopefully wake up the two humans. Grace chuckled as she sat up from her spot, lifting her hand to pet the mechanical eagle's head. The second her hand touched the top of his head, Monty's constant cawing ceased.
"Good morning to you too, Monty," Grace smiled. Monty squawked and took off from his perch of the bedpost and turned out the door towards the living room area.
Patrick turned to Grace suddenly, "You don't think they're up to something, do you?"
Grace rolled her eyes, "Patrick. What makes you think they're up to something?"
"Grace. Their robot bird was spying on us," Patrick stressed.
"Okay, now you're just being paranoid."
Patrick shook his head, swinging his feet over the side of the bed and onto the wooden floor. Grace, more curious than she was suspicious, followed suite after him.
Meanwhile in the other room...
The Other Smurfs were busy decorating the other room with flowers. Monty glided in and landed on a a sort of table where Crafty and Gutsy were together and happily decorating with dark pink flowers being brought by Elway and Puppy. Clumsy was pushing a potted plant into place when he noticed that the two humans were making their way to the living room.
"Here they come, here they come!" he called to the other Smurfs, sliding down a make-shift ladder and onto the coffee table.
Patrick and Grace's walking came to an immediate halt when they looked around their living room. If it were any other ordinary time in their lives, they would think that their home was invaded by a 'Home Makeover' crew and vanished without a trace. Flowers were perfectly arranged around the entire room and even some leafy plants, all of which were being set up by the Smurfs themselves with help from their animal friends.
"Whoa," Patrick whispered looking around in amazement.
"Pretty smurfy, if I do say so myself," Brainy nodded at the handy work they had done.
"Come on, Elway," Gutsy called to the hound, who came bounding over with a dark purple flower and set it down into a pile of more flowers. Gutsy started pulling one up with a rope, "Good boy. Thank you very much."
A blue clawed talon shot down at a yellow flower in the pile and shot back up where Monty's foot reattached to his leg. He held out the large flower to Crafty to take, who smiled and patted his wooden beak, taking the flower from him.
"Oh my goodness," Grace giggled, smiling as she saw what good decorating skills came from these Smurfs. "Clumsy."
Clumsy merely smiled and held up his thumbs, "Blue thumbs!"
Alomar and Almia dove down to the floor, causing most of the other Smurfs to duck down as they snatched multiple flowers in their strong talons and flew right out the window and onto the fire escape.
"This is unbelievable," Grace stated gesturing all around the living room.
"I think there's too much pink," Grouch grumbled, holding Toddlette in his arms. She giggled and swiped at his nose, making him scowl harder but had a hidden softness in his blue eyes, "Including you."
"Just because your name is Grouchy, doesn't mean you always have to be grouchy," Clumsy explained.
"Yeah, it does," Grouchy snapped.
"I agree," Xavier grumbled, smoothing out a decorated blanket over the couch with his paws. "There should at least be a little bit more red or orange. Maybe even a little bit more of blue."
"Since when have you become an interior decorator?" Vanity gave him a strange look from his spot on the table in front of the badger where he, Sweepy, and Wooly were also decorating.
"Uh, since forever when I'm actually allowed to have an opinion," Xavier rolled his blue eyes.
"Smurfette," Grace smiled kneeling to the small round table where the said female was arranging some white roses.
"Hi," Smurfette greeted.
"High five," Grace held up her hand. Smurfette looked down at her hand and then Grace saw the problem, "High four!"
"High four!" Smurfette grinned and repeated, hitting the palm of her hand against Grace's.
Alomar, Hummer, and Almia suddenly flew through the window again, only with their masters, Wild and the Smurflings on their backs. Papa and Grandpa came rushing in after them looking completely elated.
"Great news!" Papa exclaimed, he and Grandpa jumping onto the arm of the white couch. "The stars have revealed a perfect time to smurf the blue moon!"
"YAY!" The Smurfs cheered in complete ecstasy.
"Yeehaw!" Wooly threw his hat up in the air, did a mid-air front flip onto wooden floor, and caught his wooly hat in his hands and put it back on this head. Vanity and Sweepy climbed down the table and followed Wooly and climbed back up onto the coffee table.
"We're going home!" Smurfette gushed.
"I knew you'd do it, Papa!"
"All right!" Grouchy crooned snatching the first Smurf he could, which was Brainy, in one arm while supporting Toddlette in another.
"Smurftastic!"
Grouchy realized what he was doing and pushed Brainy away, "I never doubted them for a second."
"It has to be done tonight," Papa explained, he and Grandpa jumping onto the cushions of the couch. "Between first star and high moon."
"It's our only chance to get home," Grandpa put in.
He and Papa jumped onto the coffee table with Brainy, Clumsy, Grouchy and Toddlette. Papa continued, "But, we'll need a magic spell that works in this realm to open the portal home."
"And who knows how hard it's gonna be to smurf one around here," Grandpa added.
"Master Winslow, a question, please," Papa started to Patrick.
"Yeah shoot," Patrick said kneeling in front of them.
"Is there a place that sells spells?"
"Mmm...No."
"Is there a place that proffers potions?"
"Yeah, no," Patrick answered. Each time they got a negative answer the shoulders of the Smurfs sagged in disappointment.
Papa thought again, "How about old books?"
"Um, wait, there's an antique book shop right near where I work. Dr. Wong's something."
"Perfect. That'll do," Papa nodded.
"Oh, hear that boys?" Smurfette cheered, jumping from the table and onto the coffee table. She and Papa hugged, "We're almost home!"
"I love being almost home!" Grouchy shouted.
Gutsy and Crafty came riding over to the table to join the celebration, Gutsy on Elway and Crafty on Puppy. Almia and Alomar landed onto the coffee table, Don Smurfo, Fencette, Wild and the Smurflings jumping off and onto the wooden surface.
"Hey!" Gutsy proclaimed when he and Crafty jumped onto the table. "Smurf hug!"
"YAAY!" All the Smurfs crowded together, giving each other large embraces in complete joy. Alomar, Almia and Monty spread their wings
"It's about smurfing time!" Crafty exclaimed, taking Snappy in her arms and nearly squeezing the life out of him.
"Yeah! Let's get home already!" Xavier stomped his paws on the ground. Puppy gave out a yip
"Oh, I love you guys!" Smurfette grinned taking Fencette in a hug.
Grace and Patrick smiled broadly at all the love going on. It was nice that the Smurfs were finally able to go home, but it was kind of sad. Even Patrick had to admit that it was nice having all of them around. No matter how much of an annoyance they could be to him.
"Bring it in, big fella!" Papa called to Patrick, all the Smurfs pulling apart intending to share the love.
"Oh, I wouldn't...
"Come on!" Gutsy said. "We know ye want to."
"Go on, go," Grace encouraged. Patrick turned to her and she nodded, "Yes."
"Yeah, come on, Patrick!" Smurfette pleaded.
"If I can do it, you can do it!" Grouchy exclaimed. Toddlette cooed and held her arms out towards Patrick.
"Now come on! How can you resist that?" Crafty said.
Patrick shook his head and stood back up on his feet. He walked over to the table and knelt down again and before he had time to react, all twenty Smurfs jumped onto his upper body and knocked his back onto the cushions of the couch. He actually laughed and hugged the Smurfs closer not only because he was enjoying it, but also because all of them wriggling around tickled a lot.
Grace smiled at just how adorable the whole scene looked. Clumsy stumbled and fell off of Patrick and onto the floor, but he caught him in time and brought him back up to his chest.
"That's it, laddie," Gutsy nodded. "Nice one."
"What's that?" Smurfette muttered as she climbed onto the edge of the couch.
Monty tilted his head and fluttered over and landed behind Smurfette, taking a look at what she was looking at. He cawed with great awe and amazement.
"Oh, look! We don't have to make a blue moon! We've already got one!" Smurfette exclaimed pointing out the window.
"Really?"
"What?"
"What're you talking about, Smurfette?" Crafty asked.
Monty launched his talons at Crafty and Snappy, pulling them bot to where he was and turning the two to the window. He pointed excitedly with his blue wing out the window.
Crafty and Snappy's eyes widened. Snappy whispered, "Whoa."
"You guys have got to smurf this," Crafty said.
The other Smurfs climbed up onto the couch to have a look. The three other birds flew up to where they were and gazed out the window. Xavier and Puppy climbed up onto the couch and put their front paws on top of arms of the couch to get a good look as well.
On a jumbo screen further across from the apartment, there was indeed a picture of the blue moon rising over a sparkling body of water. A blue eagle flew across then off the screen, then circled back and held still, its wings out wide and its head pointed down.
"No, it isn't," Patrick whispered now getting a good look at the picture.
"It is. Smurfette's right. Look at the blue moon," Clumsy pointed.
"That's the wrong ad," Patrick said to himself, noticing the Angelou logo underneath the picture.
He left the window and rushed over his office to look on his computer to see if there was some mistake.
"Wait!" Crafty yelled. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you!"
Ignoring her, Patrick opened the sliding doors and jumped back in surprise. He looked around and saw that his office was definitely not how he left it the previous night.
The walls were painted a yellow, a dark and light green making an outdoor like portrait from the walls. Flowers were painted on the walls and even a few mushrooms. Butterflies attached to strings hung from the ceiling and stuffed animals were all over the floor. A little bassinet was set up right in front of the window and next to the television.
Patrick looked at the room in complete surprise as did Grace, but she thought the room looked absolutely adorable.
"Aw," Crafty sighed. "You ruined the surprise."
"Surprise?" Patrick and Grace turned to her. Patrick asked her, "What happened to my office?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Fencette asked.
"We fixed it for the baby! Another Smurf hug!" Smurfette gushed holding out her arms.
"No. No, no, no. This isn't happening. This isn't happening," Patrick chanted to himself, hoping for it to be true if he kept doing it as he got onto his computer. He pulled out the e-mail from last night and opened it up, only to see the picture of the blue moon on the file that was sent to the billboard company.
"Someone sent this to the ad agency last night. Who messed with my computer?" Patrick turned to the Smurfs, who were looking at each other, wondering who it could've been.
"It was you, wasn't it?" Patrick accused, pointing at Monty.
Monty squawked and looked around nervously. Crafty raised an eyebrow, "Monty? What makes you think he did it?"
"He loved looking at that picture and tried to stop me from taking it off the computer. He might not have meant it, but I'm positive it was his fault."
Monty clicked with fright and folded himself into the form of a wooden egg, then proceeded to roll himself behind Crafty, shaking with fear in his shell.
"That doesn't prove a thing!"
Familiar whistling was heard behind the Smurfs and then they knew the culprit, though they didn't look too surprised. They turned around and gave a look over at Clumsy, who had a guilty look on his face.
"Uh oh," Gutsy muttered. Crafty frowned and elbowed him in the side.
"That's not helping," she hissed.
Clumsy fiddled with his hands nervously, "I uh, mighta, sorta, tripped."
"Yeah, well you mighta, sorta, just got me fired," Patrick snapped at him. "You sent the wrong file!"
Clumsy flinched and shrunk down, feeling completely ashamed of himself.
"Patrick," Grace tried to soothe. "It was just an accident."
"What am I supposed to do, Grace?!" Patrick asked with a raised voice. "You said that they would bring good luck. This is anything but good! I never should've let this happen. I should've said no. I never wanted a house full of little people running around!"
Grace looked at him shockingly when he ended his sentence gesturing to her.
"Oooh," Crafty made a painful facial expression. "Should not have said that."
When Patrick figured out his mistake, he corrected himself, "Blue! Little blue...Ugh!"
He then stormed off out of his office and into the bedroom. Grace put her hands up as she followed him, "Okay...Whoa! Patrick! What're you doing?"
"Going to try to save my job!" Patrick grunted as he got on his shoes.
"We never intended to be a burden, Master Winslow," Papa apologized as he and the other Smurfs followed and stopped outside the doorway of the bedroom.
"I'm smurfily sorry about what I-" Clumsy started, but was interrupted by Patrick.
"Stop saying "smurf" for everything!" He exasperated. "What does that even mean? Smurf! Smurfitty-smurf-smurf-smurf!"
The Smurfs gasped and Crafty covered Snappy's ears with her hands along with Smurfette's for Sassette, Wooly for Slouchy and Sweepy for Nat. Toddlette's eyes started to water and she let out a loud wail in fear and sadness. Grouchy flinched and tried to bounce her and calm her down.
"There's no call for that kinda language, laddie!" Gutsy snapped.
Patrick looked like he was about to explode with frustration and anger, but repressed the emotions and just stormed out the door with Grace following him.
"What do we do, now?" Smurfette asked.
"I...I suppose we had better retrieve the spell from the book store and leave as soon as possible. I believe our welcome has been oversmurfed," Papa explained. He pointed Smurfette, Grouchy, Gutsy, and Brainy and said, "The five of us will go and get anything we may need. The rest of you stay here and...try to stay out of trouble."
Clumsy hung his head as he knew the comment was meant for him. Grouchy handed Toddlette over to Grandpa and went off with the others to get the magic spell. Gutsy smiled and took both of Crafty's hands in his, kissing them both and assuring her,
"Don' ye worry. We'll be back and be back home in no time at all."
Crafty smiled as he ran the back of his fingers down her cheek and then ran off to catch up with the others. She suddenly raised an eyebrow as she finally noticed something she didn't before.
"Fencette? If you hate that dress so much, why're you still wearing it?"
"Oh! Well, er, um..." Fencette rubbed her arm nervously, unsure how to answer.
However, the answer was perfectly clear when Don Smurfo snaked an arm around her waist, pressing his chest against her back letting out a sort of purring sound. The very scene was sweet, but sent an unpleasant shiver down Crafty's spine as it reminded her of all the times Don Smurfo did that to her.
Like it? Thought you guys would. Whoever can guess the reference from "Rio" gets to make the decision if they want me to post the cast list for the next Smurfs story! Bye!
