Previously, there was a lot of excitement. The Steam Team are now at the medieval times. How they all got there you all asked? Well, the eight Engines and the 16 Smurfs had to go through a magical place, which is the Magic Railway. And after they got there, they continued on, by time-traveling using the magical supplies that Papa and Grandpa used. And then, they all made it to the medieval times. And finally, the 16 Smurfs lead the Steam Team to the Smurf village, where they met the other 89 Smurfs, and of course, the Clockworks, Feathers, and Puppy. And now, some selected Smurfs are partners with the Steam Team, and they're going to spend some time together. So let's continue on with the story.
It had been an exciting day in the medieval times. The Steam Team had finally arrived at the Smurf village. And now, they, and the Smurfs who were selected to be partners with the eight Engines, were starting to have some time being together.
At the southeastern part away from the village, Thomas, Dreamy, and Snappy were at the lake. The S. S. Smurf II was there at the dock. Some ropes were tied on between the dock and the ship.
Dreamy changed hats, and went from a train driver hat, to a ship captain hat. Then the believer Smurf came aboard the ship.
Thomas was amazed and he was impressed at Dreamy.
/Thomas\: "Freeze my firebox, Dreamy, your ship is so splendid."
/Dreamy\: "Thank you, Thomas."
Then Thomas had a thought.
/Thomas\: "Dreamy, since this ship is named the S. S. Smurf II, what happened to the first one?"
/Dreamy\: "Oh, we disasmurfble it, down to a raft."
/Thomas\: "Oh, my."
/Dreamy\: "Yeah. Oh well, at least the S. S. Smurf II is much more smurfier than the first one."
/Thomas\: "Well, I'm glad to hear that. Hmm. And did you had some adventures in this ship?"
/Dreamy\: "Oh yes, I smurf two adventures."
/Thomas\: "Cinders and ashes! Were they a lot of fun?"
/Dreamy\: "Well, just a little."
/Thomas\: "Why a little?"
/Dreamy\: "Because, there were some dangerous obstacles that we had to smurf."
/Thomas\: "Double cinders and ashes!"
/Dreamy\: "But on the bright side, our adventures sure had some happy endings."
/Thomas\: "Now that's what I like to hear."
/Dreamy\: "Yeah. Hah."
/Thomas\: "Ohhh, I wish that I could go out for an adventure at sea."
/Dreamy\: "Well, can you Engines do that?"
/Thomas\: "Why yes, we can. But not at the moment."
/Dreamy\: "Oh, I see. Hmm. Thomas, do you always dreamed of something to come true?"
/Thomas\: "Why yes, I did. And I did that a lot."
/Dreamy\: "Now that's what I like to smurf."
/Thomas\: "And there's one dream that had come true to me."
/Dreamy\: "And what is that, Thomas?"
/Thomas\: "Coming to this time period and to be with you!"
/Dreamy\: "Now that's so smurfy to smurf."
/Thomas\: "It sure is, Dreamy. It sure is."
But then, Dreamy felt unhappy.
Thomas was concerned.
/Thomas\: "Why the long face, Dreamy?"
/Dreamy\: "Well, there's one dream that I always want to come true."
/Thomas\: "And what is it?"
/Dreamy\: "Smurfing to the Island of Sodor."
/Thomas\: "Ohh."
/Dreamy\: "Yeah, I always dreamed of smurfing to the Island of Sodor."
/Thomas\: "Well don't be so sad, Dreamy. Maybe you can come with me to Sodor."
/Dreamy\: "Oh, I hope so, Thomas. I hope so."
/Thomas\: "Don't worry, it will happen."
Thomas smiled cheerfully.
And Dreamy smiled cheerfully also.
But then, the two special friends began to joke around.
/Dreamy\: "Hey Thomas!"
/Thomas\: "Yes Dreamy?"
/Dreamy\: "Smurf this! Arrgh! Avast, me harties!"
/Thomas\: "Ooh, shiver me timbers, me lad!"
/Dreamy\: "Arrgh! You will smurf the plank!"
/Thomas\: "Oh no! Please have mercy!"
/Dreamy\: "Then smurf me all ya gold!"
/Thomas\: "Here, take all you want! Just don't make me chuff the plank!"
/Dreamy\: "Arrgh! Very well, I shall spare your life, you little blue guppy!"
/Thomas\: "Oh thank you, Captain Dreamy! And I'm at your service!"
/Thomas & Dreamy\: "/Laughing\"
/Thomas\: "Snappy, why didn't you join along?"
But Snappy didn't reply back.
/Thomas\: "Snappy?"
Thomas could see that Snappy was sitting on the dock. And he could also see that the pushy Smurfling was looking very unhappy. Thomas was puzzled.
/Thomas\: "Snappy, what's the matter?"
But again, Snappy didn't reply back.
Thomas couldn't help it. He wanted to know why Snappy was feeling unhappy.
/Thomas\: "Hmm. Oh. /INHALE\ /PEEEEP!\"
/Snappy\: "AAH!"
/Thomas\: "I'm very sorry, Snappy. But you didn't puff back to me."
/Snappy\: "Oh, sorry. /SIGH\"
/Thomas\: "Come on, Snappy. I'm concerned about you."
/Snappy\: "So what, smurf on and be concerned about me."
/Thomas\: "Oh, come now. We're partners, and partners always tell something what was wrong."
/Snappy\: "Oh, alright."
/Thomas\: "Now, tell me what's wrong?"
/Snappy\: "Well, I was smurfing."
/Thomas\: "About what?"
/Snappy\: "An Engine."
/Thomas\: "Who's the Engine?"
/Snappy\: "Billy."
/Dreamy\: "Billy? You mean that orange Engineling from the book?"
/Snappy\: "Yeah."
/Thomas\: "Well, why are you thinking about Billy?"
/Snappy\: "I was smurfing that he and I would make smurfy partners."
/Thomas\: "Ohhh."
/Dreamy\: "What's so special about Billy, Snappy?"
/Snappy\: "Billy has the same smurfonality like me."
/Dreamy\: "What, he's pushy and spunky like you? Oh smurf."
/Thomas\: "Welcome to my world."
/Snappy\: "You two can smurf whatever you want, but Billy and I would still make smurfy partners."
/Dreamy\: "/SIGH\ If you smurf so, Snappy."
/Snappy\: "Mmm-hmm."
Thomas said nothing else. But then, an idea flew through his funnel.
/Thomas\: "Snappy, would you like to hear more about Billy?"
Snappy was delighted.
/Snappy\: "Ohh, yes please, Thomas!"
/Thomas\: "Alright then. It all started when Billy first arrived on Sodor. He was so eager to do something, but I told him that he had to wait for the Fat Controller first. And after the Fat Controller gave Billy his job assignment, he was still eager to do something. Then, I told him that he should take on enough coal and water. But suddenly, Billy lost patients. And do you know what Billy puffed me, Snappy?"
/Snappy\: "No Thomas, what?"
/Thomas\: "He puffed me a bossy Engine."
/Snappy\: "A bossy Engine? /Laughing\ Maybe that's why Billy lost patients. You were being bossy to him."
/Thomas\: "I wasn't being bossy to Billy, I was trying to be helpful."
/Snappy\: "Ohh."
/Thomas\: "And I promised the Fat Controller that I would look after Billy."
/Dreamy\: "Oh, smurf."
/Snappy\: "So what happened next?"
/Thomas\: "Well… Billy was being silly and I chased him all around the island trying to be helpful to him. But still, he wouldn't listen to me and he kept puffing me a bossy Engine."
/Snappy\: "/Laughing\"
/Dreamy\: "I don't think it's funny, Snappy."
/Snappy\: "Well, it is to me."
/Thomas\: "Well you won't be laughing in the next part. After I found him once more, I was trying to be a good role model, but Billy still wouldn't listen to me. And so, I gave up and told Billy that he should do whatever he wants. And guess what happened next?"
/Snappy\: "Billy smurfed into an accident?"
/Thomas\: "No, he ran out of coal and water."
/Snappy\: "Uh-oh, I'm not laughing at that."
/Dreamy\: "I knew you wouldn't."
/Snappy\: "Then what happened next, Thomas?"
/Thomas\: "Well… I took Billy to get some coal and water, and then I tried to be helpful to him once more. But this time, Billy listened to me."
/Snappy\: "Oh, my."
/Dreamy\: "Smurfy for Billy."
/Thomas\: "And at the end, I helped Billy to get his jobs done, and he became a really useful Engine. And for once, Billy didn't think that I was bossy and he enjoys working with me."
/Snappy\: "Wow! That was very smurfy, Thomas."
/Dreamy\: "It sure is."
/Snappy\: "Now I really want to be partners with Billy!"
/Thomas\: "I know you do, Snappy. But for now, you're partners with me."
/Snappy\: "Yeah, I know."
Snappy grinned cheerfully.
And Thomas smiled his cheerful smile.
After doing some things on the S. S. Smurf II, Dreamy and Snappy boarded Thomas. And then, the #1 engine magically chuffed off to the Smurf village along with his two Smurf partners.
Also at the southeastern part away from the village, Edward, Handy, and Willing were at the dam. The dam stood firmly, and the water was flowing perfectly.
Handy went to check the water level. And Edward and Willing just stood by watching.
Edward was amazed. He was looking at the dam. He couldn't believe that the Smurfs would have such a structure. He thinks that the dam looked incredible.
And now, Edward was watching Handy. He could see that the carpenter Smurf was busy checking things on the dam.
Edward was very impressed with Handy, and he thinks that the inventor Smurf was a very hardworking and a really useful Smurf. And even Willing had to agree.
/Willing\: "Handy is such a smurfderful and hardworking Smurf, isn't he?"
/Edward\: "He sure is, and he's also a really useful one too."
/Willing\: "And don't smurfget, I'm a really useful Smurf too."
/Edward\: "Yes, I know."
Then Willing has something that he wanted to know from Edward.
/Willing\: "Umm, Edward?"
/Edward\: "Yes Willing?"
/Willing\: "There's one thing that really smurf me."
/Edward\: "And what is it?"
/Willing\: "Handy smurfed me that you're the oldest Engine, right?"
/Edward\: "Yes, that's right."
/Willing\: "Well, I thought that Thomas is the oldest. He is #1 after all."
/Edward\: "Oh, well, Thomas is actually a young Engine."
/Willing\: "So, what smurfs you the oldest, Edward?"
/Edward\: "Well, you see, I was the first one being built for Sodor, and I didn't have a number at that time."
/Willing\: "Ohhh. But wait, Brainy smurfed me that Thomas was the first Engine to arrive on Sodor. /MOAN\ Now I'm smurfed!"
/Edward\: "Take it easy! Yes, Thomas was the first one to arrive on Sodor, but that's because he's the first Engine to arrive with a number."
/Willing\: "Ohhh, I smurf."
/Edward\: "But even though, I'm not the only old Engine from Sodor."
/Willing\: "Really? Who else is old?"
/Edward\: "Toby."
/Willing\: "Oh. Hmm. Edward, think you can smurf me all about your times of being really useful?"
/Edward\: "Bubbling boilers, I'd be happy to. Let's see now… Oh, there's this one time that I had to help Gordon get up on Gordon's Hill."
/Willing\: "Ooh."
/Edward\: "But first, let me puff you about me… It was morning, and I was at Tidmouth Sheds with Thomas, Henry, Gordon, and James. I was feeling sad because I haven't been out for a long time, and Gordon said that the driver wouldn't choose me again, and that made me even more sad."
/Willing\: "Oh, Edward."
/Edward\: "But, the driver and fireman saw how upset I was and they chose me instead of the other Engines, and I was let out on that day."
/Willing\: "Now that's smurfy, Edward. So what did you smurf while you were let out?"
/Edward\: "Ohh, I pulled a passenger train. And I had a wonderful time on that day."
/Willing\: "Whoa."
/Edward\: "Now here comes the part where I helped Gordon… The next day, Gordon was bragging to me that I should watch him rush by with the express. But I ignored him and went off to do my job."
/Willing\: "Oh, smurf."
/Edward\: "Now, that afternoon, I saw Gordon rushing by. And instead of pulling coaches, he was pulling a line of trucks. He was complaining that he's pulling a goods train, and I laugh so much that my boiler burst."
/Willing\: "/Laughing\ Now that's funny!"
/Edward\: "It certainly was."
/Willing\: "Then what happened next?"
/Edward\: "Well… I was at the yard, and I heard that Gordon was stuck on Gordon's Hill. So I was sent to help him, and soon enough, I began to push Gordon up on the hill. He was complaining that I can't get him up the hill, but I still kept on pushing. And before you know it, I got Gordon up to the top of the hill. When Gordon chuffed away, he forgot all about me and didn't even puff "thank you" to me. But after that, the driver and fireman were so proud of me and they would give me a new coat of paint as a reward."
/Willing\: "Wow! That was so smurfy, Edward."
Edward smiled proudly.
/Willing\: "Now, is there any more about your usefulness?"
/Edward\: "Hmm… Oh, there's one time that I had to rescue a runaway James."
/Willing\: "Oooh."
/Edward\: "One day, James was waiting at a station for me to arrive. That made him cross, but I laughed. James puffed back to Tidmouth Sheds still grumbling, and he complained to Thomas and Percy that I always make Engines late, and he called me a lump of "old iron"."
/Willing\: "That was very unsmurfy that James smurfed you a lump of "old iron"!"
/Edward\: "But don't be too angry, Thomas and Percy have a great deal of respecting me and they told James that I could beat him in a race any day, which made him upset."
/Willing\: "Oh, good. At least that smurf James up."
/Edward\: "Yes. /Clearing throat\ Now, the next day, James was working, but then, the driver felt ill and was sent home, leaving only the fireman going on duty. But suddenly, James puffed away without anyone in his cab. The signalman, who saw James, told the fireman that two little boys were on James' footplate fiddling with the controls, and they soon run off when James started to chuff away."
/Willing\: "Oh, my! What happened next?"
/Edward\: "I was quickly called to action, and I had the engine inspector and the fireman with me. And I promise myself that I will catch up to James."
/Willing\: "Whoa, now that's smurfy from you, Edward."
/Edward\: "It was, wasn't it. Now, I chuffed and huffed and puffed with all my might, and at last, I caught up to James. The inspector then climb to the front of me with a noose of rope tied through the crook of the shunter's pole and tries to slip the rope over James' buffer. It is difficult for the inspector, but he finally manages to lasso the buffer and pull it tight. The fireman scrambles over to James and takes control, allowing both of us to finally slow down. As me and James make our way to the next station, he apologized for his harsh words. The Fat Controller was at the station. He congratulated the crew on a fine rescue and then told James that he can rest before continuing his work. As for me, I was rewarded with a trip to the works to get my worn-out parts mended. I was very happy and I noted that how nice it will be to get to run without clanking."
/Willing\: "Smurf Edward, you're very heroic, and you always surprise everysmurf."
Edward felt proud.
/Willing\: "So, is there anything else about your usefulness?"
/Edward\: "Well… Oh, there's one time that I proved to the big Engines that I'm not ready to retire."
/Willing\: "Oh, smurf."
/Edward\: "One day, Gordon was complaining about me, saying that I should retire. Henry and James agreed with him. And that made Percy very upset. Later on, the driver asked Percy why he's so upset, and Percy told him all about me. Then, Percy went to a station. The Fat Controller was there. The driver then told the Fat Controller what Percy has said, and he said that he'll get to the bottom of it immediately."
/Willing\: "Eesh, I can't believe that those three big Engines would smurf such a thing to you!"
/Edward\: "I know, and I don't like that too."
/Willing\: "So what happened next?"
/Edward\: "Well, the Fat Controller has a plan for me."
/Willing\: "Ooh, what was the plan?"
/Edward\: "The plan was to show everyone how really useful I am."
/Willing\: "Oh. Well that's a smurfy plan."
/Edward\: "I think it's a "smurfy" plan too. Now, the Fat Controller has given me a job. I was to teach Stepney on how to run the new loop line properly. But, there was one problem."
/Willing\: "Oh, what problem is that?"
/Edward\: "While I'm going to do that job, I was wondering who will look after the trucks, but the Fat Controller said that Duck will do my work."
/Willing\: "Ohh. Anyway, are Stepney and Duck Engines also?"
/Edward\: "Yes."
/Willing\: "Oh. Well, it's a shame that they weren't on the book that Brainy, Painter, Poet, Editor, and Reporter smurfblished."
/Edward\: "Well, don't be so glum, you'll find out more on those things when those five Smurfs make a new and updated book."
/Willing\: "I know, and I can't wait. So can you please continue?"
/Edward\: "Oh, right… So later on, I was enjoying myself working with Stepney. But, Duck was not enjoying his time, and it's because the trucks were up to their troublesome tricks. He tried his best to chuff up Gordon's Hill, but then, he end up getting stuck. And there's another problem, Duck was on the line that Gordon was running. So the guard phoned the signalman to switch the points, but it was too late. So the only thing to do was to flag Gordon down. Gordon did saw the red flag and was slowed down. Gordon tried to push Duck up the hill, but with him pulling the express, he hasn't been able to."
/Willing\: "Oh poor Gordon and Duck, and they won't be able to smurf up the hill."
/Edward\: "Well, there's only one way to fix that problem."
/Willing\: "And what is it?"
/Edward\: "Gordon and Duck would need a bank engine."
/Willing\: "Ohh. And I smurf that from the book. And let me guess, the bank engine was you, isn't it?"
/Edward\: "Yes, that's right!"
/Willing\: "So smurf me, what happened next?"
/Edward\: "Well… I was sent to help Gordon and Duck. I was so excited to be the bank engine for not one, but two trains. I buffered up to them, and in no time, we chuffed up the hill, and made it to a station. And at the station, a boy shout out that I'm the strongest and best bank engine, and that made Gordon feeling embarrassed and made the Fat Controller speaking severely to him. The next morning, Gordon apologized to me and said that I'm indeed a really useful Engine. And in conclusion, the Fat Controller's plan had work and there was no talk about me retiring anymore."
/Willing\: "That was a very smurfy story, Edward. I'm proud of you. And there's one thing that you'll always remember; you may be old, but you're still a really useful and, not to mention, a helpful and smurfy Engine."
/Edward\: "Thank you, Willing, that means so much to me."
Willing smiled from cheek to cheek.
And Edward smiled from buffer to buffer.
Just then, Handy came up to Edward and Willing. He had just finished doing some things on the dam.
/Handy\: "Ok, everything is smurfy, and the dam smurfs just fine. So, what did you two do?"
/Willing\: "Oh, just smurfing."
/Handy\: "About what?"
/Edward\: "About the times of my usefulness."
/Handy\: "Oh, that's smurfy. Say, want to smurf about my times of my usefulness?"
/Edward\: "Well since you puffed me about Willing's, then yes, I would love to hear it from you."
/Handy\: "Smurfy. I'll smurf it while we smurf to the village."
Handy and Willing boarded Edward. And then, the #2 Engine magically chuffed off to the Smurf village along with his two Smurf partners.
At the eastern part and away from the village, Henry was magically chuffing through the forest with his two Smurf partners, Nat and Tracker. They were going to see the Great Oak Tree. The two Smurfs were helping the big green tender engine where to go. And they were going along the right direction.
/Henry\: "Flatten my funnel, I'm so excited to go see the Great Oak Tree!"
/Nat\: "So do me and Tracker."
/Henry\: "How much further?"
/Tracker\: "Just a little more."
/Henry\: "And I had to puff, that this forest is so wonderful."
/Tracker\: "It sure is, isn't it."
/Henry\: "And not to mention very peaceful."
/Nat\: "Well, it's a little peaceful."
/Henry\: "Why, what's wrong?"
/Tracker\: "Well, this forest is still being not so peaceful now that the mean wizard is still smurfing around here."
/Henry\: "Oh dear! Is he out there now?"
/Tracker\: "I'll smurf out by using my nose."
/Henry\: "Wait, I thought you use your nose for the weather."
/Tracker\: "Well, I can also use my nose for smurfing down other things, especially people."
/Henry\: "Bust my boiler!"
/Tracker\: "Yes. Now, let me smurf…"
Tracker put his head out off of Henry's cab window, and he began to sniff.
/Tracker\: "/Sniffing\"
Henry was worried.
/Tracker\: "/Sniffing\ Ah! He's not around."
Henry was relieved. And so was Nat.
/Nat\: "Smurfy, now it's peaceful."
/Henry\: "I puff to that."
Just then, Nat realized something.
/Nat\: "Oh Henry, we're nearly there!"
/Henry\: "Really?"
/Tracker\: "Yes, just beyond that path!"
Henry was even more excited and he kept on chuffing magically.
And at last, the three special friends arrived at the middle part of the forest.
/Tracker\: "Alright, we're here!"
/Nat\: "And look, Henry! There it is, the Great Oak Tree!"
Henry looked ahead and he was amazed.
/Henry\: "/GASP\ Bouncing buffers!"
Henry, Nat, and Tracker got closer to the tree. And then, the #3 engine began to magically chuff around the tree. The tree stood strong and firm.
Henry was very happy. And he magically kept on chuffing around tree for a few seconds. And after that, Henry stopped. He was very pleased for the Smurfs to have such a wonderful tree.
Nat and Tracker got off of Henry. And they went up to the front of him.
/Tracker\: "Well Henry, do you like the Great Oak Tree?"
/Henry\: "No, not like it, I LOVE it!"
/Nat\: "Well, we're glad to smurf that."
/Tracker\: "And me and Nat know that you also love another tree, at the Island of Sodor that is."
/Nat\: "Is it the Tall Pine Tree?"
/Henry\: "Yes, you got it."
/Tracker\: "But which one you love best?"
/Henry\: "Oh please, don't puff that. I don't like choosing between the two trees, I love both of them."
/Nat\: "And you know what, Henry? We think choosing between those two trees is unsmurfy too."
/Tracker\: "And we respected your feelings."
/Henry\: "Thank you, Tracker. And now, this tree is my second favorite, and I also love the forest in this time period too."
/Tracker\: "/Giggling\ We knew you might smurf that too."
Henry beamed brightly.
Then Nat had a thought.
/Nat\: "Henry, think you can smurf us all about the forest from Sodor and the Tall Pine Tree?"
Henry smiled grandly.
/Henry\: "I'd be happy to. And I'll also puff you the time that a disaster struck the forest at Sodor."
/Nat & Tracker\: "Oh, smurf!"
/Henry\: "Now, one day, I was enjoying myself chuffing around the island. I love every part of it, from the fields filled with flowers to the white sandy beaches. But, there is one place that I always enjoy visiting more than any other, and it's indeed the forest at Sodor. The forest was full of broad oaks and tall pines, and that's what I love about it."
/Nat & Tracker\: "Oooh."
/Henry\: "But one night, disaster struck. A powerful storm came to Sodor. It brought very strong winds. I was in Tidmouth Sheds with my friends when the storm came, and I was hoping that the wind won't harm the forest."
/Nat\: "But it did smurf the forest, didn't it?"
/Henry\: "Yes Nat, it did."
/Tracker\: "Oh no."
/Henry\: "By morning, the storm had passed, but the damage was done. I first heard that trees had fallen into the line, and I was sent to help clear it. When I arrived at the forest, trees were laying everywhere. And the hillside looked so bare. I was so sad to see that, and I was wondering what will happen to all the animals who live there."
/Nat\: "Oh, Henry."
/Tracker\: "That was so sad."
/Henry\: "It was, wasn't it."
/Nat\: "What happened next?"
/Henry\: "Well… After my flat-bed trucks were full of logs, I took them to the timber mill where they be turned into furniture and other things. Thomas and Toby were there. I was glad that the wood was being put to good use, but I was still sorry to lose part of the forest."
/Nat\: "We're so sorry too, Henry."
/Tracker\: "Indeed we are."
Henry grinned a little grin.
/Nat\: "Can you continue, please?"
/Henry\: "Now, later on, Toby puffed to the yard. The Fat Controller was there. He asked why Toby was so glum, and Toby puffed that he's sad about the forest, the trees, and me. But then, something wonderful had happened."
/Tracker\: "Ooh, what is it?"
/Henry\: "The Fat Controller told Toby that he would be taking some trucks to the forest. And when they arrived, Toby was delighted. They were full of splendid young trees all ready for planting, and Toby puffed that it's the best job that he ever had."
/Nat\: "Wow, that's smurfy, Henry!"
/Tracker\: "Jolly good, it is indeed!"
/Henry\: "And I think it's "smurfy" too!"
/Tracker\: "Please, continue."
/Henry\: "Later on, I returned to the forest. But when I got there, I was so surprised. My friends Terence and Trevor were there, busily helping the workmen clearing the tall stumps and branches. Terence shouted that they're beginning again, and the hillside will looked better than ever before. A few days later, I can see the trees growing strong and tall, and the animals came back. Sometimes, the forest could get quiet. And other times, I can hear leaves rustling, or a bird's wing brushing the air. And often, I can hear the sound of children laughing. And I will always be happy, to be in none other than, the forest at Sodor."
/Nat\: "Now that's a very smurftiful story, Henry."
/Tracker\: "And we know how much the forest at Sodor smurfs so much to you."
/Henry\: "Thank you, both."
/Nat\: "By the way, who's Terence and Trevor?"
/Henry\: "Well, Terence is a non-rail contraption called a tractor. And so is Trevor, but he's a traction engine."
/Nat & Tracker\: "Ohh."
/Henry\: "And you both will find out more when the new and updated book is released."
/Tracker\: "Oh, ok."
/Nat\: "Now can you smurf us about the Tall Pine Tree?"
/Henry\: "Of course… One day, all the Engines on Sodor were very excited, and it's because the Scottish castle is having a banquet. I love going to the castle, because on the way, I puffed past my most favorite tree, and it's indeed the Tall Pine Tree. The tree towered above the rest of the forest. I always stop to look at it, and seeing the Tall Pine Tree standing tall and proud made me very happy."
/Nat\: "Wow!"
/Tracker\: "Double wow!"
/Henry\: "/Giggling\ Later on, I arrived at the Scottish castle. The Fat Controller was there waiting for me. He puffed me that the castle's flagpole is old and about to break, and he gave me a job to collect a new flagpole at Brendam Docks and bring it to the castle in time for the banquet. When I puffed into the docks, I couldn't see the tall flagpole anywhere. I looked around for something tall. I looked above some coal trucks, but there was nothing tall there. Then, I looked at an old ship. It had a tall mast. Then I saw my friend Cranky, and he was very tall. But still I didn't see the flagpole. But then, there was trouble. The flagpole was on a flat-bed truck right in front of me. I didn't see it until I bumped into it. Then the flagpole rolled onto the track, and suddenly, my friend Salty run over it. I was so shocked to see that happened, and I didn't expect to see the flagpole down there. Then Salty puffed to me that it's not tall when it's laying down, and I felt very silly."
/Tracker\: "Oh no."
/Nat\: "But, as everysmurf always smurfs; accidents happen."
/Henry\: "Yes, I know."
/Tracker\: "Anyway, who's Cranky and Salty?"
/Henry\: "Cranky is a non-rail contraption called a crane, and Salty is an Engine, but he's not a steam engine, he's a diesel engine."
/Tracker\: "Ohh."
/Nat\: "And we already know the differences between a steam engine and a diesel engine from the book."
/Henry\: "Well, I'm glad that you Smurfs learned so much about Sodor."
/Nat\: "Mmm-hmm."
/Tracker\: "So what happened next, Henry?"
/Henry\: "Later on, the Fat Controller came to the docks. He was very unhappy, and he said that the Scottish castle will not look the same without its flagpole, and that made me very sad. When evening came, I decided to go see the Tall Pine Tree to cheer myself up, When I got there, Toby was there. But nothing could make me feel better. Then I told Toby that I wish I hadn't broken the flagpole. But Toby said something that made me shocked. He said that the Tall Pine Tree could be used as a new flagpole, but I don't want that to happen."
/Nat\: "Oh, smurf!"
/Tracker\: "Please, smurf us what happened next!"
/Henry\: "Well… The next morning, I had to do a job of taking workmen to the forest. They all were carrying axes and saws, and that made me shocked. And I already think that the workmen were going to cut down the Tall Pine Tree. Later on, I puffed through the countryside. And I was thinking of a way to save the tree. But then, I had an idea."
/Nat\: "What was your idea, Henry?"
/Henry\: "I didn't take the workmen to the forest, and I decided to go look for a new flagpole."
/Tracker\: "Ooh, that's a smurfy idea."
/Henry\: "I think so too. And so, I begin looking for a new flagpole. I chuffed all around the island looking for one, but I couldn't find one and I begin to lose hope. When evening came, the Fat Controller was at Tidmouth Sheds waiting for me, and he was very cross. And he puffed that tomorrow I'll be doing a job of collecting coal, and he puffed that Edward will be taking the workmen to the forest."
/Nat\: "Oh no!"
/Tracker\: "Oh my!"
/Henry\: "Hold your, um… "smurfs". There's still more to come… The next day, I began doing my job of collecting coal. Then Thomas came by. I puffed to him that I can't find another flagpole. But Thomas puffed that sometimes the thing you want is somewhere you wouldn't think to look. Then he puffed away. And so, after I finished my job, I decided to do what Thomas puffed me. I looked everywhere, but nothing came up. Then I puffed to Brendam Docks. I can see the old ship still there. But then, it bumped me! I was looking at the tall mast, and it would make a great flagpole! Then Salty came and he puffed to me that the old ship will be chopped up and used for firewood. I quickly puffed Salty to not give away the mast. Soon, Cranky lower the mast onto a flat-bed truck. And I raced off to the forest as quickly as I can to save the Tall Pine Tree. When I arrived at the forest, to my surprise, the tree was still there! And so is the Fat Controller. I quickly shouted to the Fat Controller to not cut down the tree, but to my surprise again, he puffed that he would never cut down the tree. He also puffed that the workmen are there to collect some firewood. The firewood will be used to make a fire at the castle banquet. I was very happy and it made my axles tingled. When nighttime came, the flag was hoisted on the old ship's mast. It looked wonderful, and, as you Smurfs puffed, "smurftiful". And I thought that it was the nicest thing that I had ever see, except for the Tall Pine Tree."
/Tracker\: "Phew! Thank smurfness that the Tall Pine Tree didn't smurf down."
/Nat\: "And using the old ship's mast as a flagpole was a smurfy idea."
/Henry\: "And I think so too."
/Nat\: "And one thing for sure, Henry; nothing bad will happen to the Great Oak Tree also."
/Tracker\: "Indeed and jolly good."
Henry was very happy and he smiled a bright smile.
And so on, Henry, Nat, and Tracker looked at the Great Oak Tree, and they admired its greatness and strength. And the three special friends couldn't be happier than to be such wonderful nature-lovers.
Back at the village, Gordon was at Hefty's house along with his two Smurf partners. Hefty and Tuffy were working out. The strong Smurf was exercising by lifting the heaviest barbell, and the tough Smurf was also exercising but was using the heaviest dumbbells. Gordon was very impressed with Hefty, and he thinks that the strongest Smurf was indeed very strong, and also a really useful one too. And Gordon had to admit, he was also impressed with Tuffy. He could see that the toughest Smurf was working very hard to be just like Hefty, and also to be a good partner to him.
/Hefty\: "…97, 98, 99, 100! /Grunting\ WHEW! Smurf, I needed that."
/Gordon\: "Fizzling fireboxes, Hefty, well done! You're indeed a very strong and really useful Smurf."
That made Hefty very happy.
/Hefty\: "Thanks Gordon, that's smurfs so much to me."
/Tuffy\: "/Grunting and panting\ PHEW! There, I'm done. So Gordon, how did I smurf?"
/Gordon\: "Well, you did fine. And I had to admit, you are indeed strong also, Tuffy."
That made Tuffy very happy also.
/Gordon\: "But, are you a really useful Smurf, Tuffy?"
/Tuffy\: "Well… no, I'm not. But I will be soon."
/Gordon\: "Hmm, indeed."
/Hefty\: "Smurf, after that great workout, my muscles are all smurfed up. Smurf at this, Gordon."
Hefty flexed both his arms, showing his muscle bumps and his tattoos to Gordon.
Gordon was surprised and amazed.
/Gordon\: "Oh, my axles and gears! Those are splendid muscles, even with the tattoos!"
Hefty felt proud.
/Tuffy\: "Hey, smurf at me, Gordon. I can smurf my muscles too."
Tuffy throw out his chest, showing his muscles and his tattoo to Gordon also.
Gordon was even more surprised and amazed.
/Gordon\: "Oh! Well, those muscles are splendid too, Tuffy, even with the tattoo also."
Tuffy felt proud also.
Then Gordon had something to say to Hefty and Tuffy.
/Gordon\: "Well, I glad that I chose both of you to be my partners because we have a lot in common, but even though, I'm not the only big and strong Engine from Sodor."
/Hefty\: "I know, there's Henry, Murdoch, Spencer, and Hank."
/Tuffy\: "Well I know who Murdoch and Spencer is from the book, but who's Hank?"
/Gordon\: "Hank is a new Engine who just came to Sodor to help the Fat Controller."
/Tuffy\: "Oh."
Then suddenly, Gordon looked unhappy.
Hefty and Tuffy were concerned.
/Hefty\: "What's wrong, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Well, I'm afraid that one day, you two might want to puff out with those four."
The two Smurfs beamed.
/Hefty\: "Oh, don't worry, Gordon. That will never happen."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, we rather smurf out with you than those four."
Gordon felt so much better.
/Hefty\: "Besides, Henry had chosen his partners. And we wouldn't want to smurf out with Spencer, he's a showoff."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, I hate showoffs."
/Hefty\: "Uh, Tuffy, you're kind of a showoff too."
/Tuffy\: "/Chuckling sheepishly\ Well, not that much."
/Gordon\: "Oh, the indignity."
/Hefty\: "Oh, the insmurfnity."
/Tuffy\: "OK, OK! I admit that I'm a showoff a lot, but I'll try hard not to be one!"
/Hefty\: "Yeah, good luck with that."
/Gordon\: "Indeed."
Tuffy said nothing else.
/Hefty\: "Anyway Gordon, besides you being the strongest, you're also the fastest and the best."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, is there one time that you do that?"
/Gordon\: "Well, hmm… Oh, there is one time that I show my friends that I'm really the fastest and the best than the City of Truro."
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "Who's the City of Truro?"
/Gordon\: "It's a steam locomotive that visited Sodor."
/Hefty\: "Is he a big Engine too?"
/Gordon\: "Not really, he's the same size as Edward, James, and Emily."
/Tuffy\: "So what's so special about the City of Truro?"
/Gordon\: "Well Tuffy, let me puff you all about it."
Hefty and Tuffy all listened carefully.
/Gordon\: "Now, one day, the City of Truro came to Sodor for a visit. Everyone admired him and was the center of attention. When I arrived at the yard to see him, I wasn't very impressed. Then I puffed away. The next day, the City of Truro left Sodor early that morning, and I was complaining about that Engine. Then Thomas puffed to me that the City of Truro is also famous than me and can go 100 mph like me."
/Tuffy\: "Smurf my smurfs, no wonder the City of Truro was so special."
/Hefty\: "Yeah, that Engine thinks he's the fastest and the best. Well, I don't think so."
/Gordon\: "Welcome to my world."
/Hefty\: "So what happened next?"
/Gordon\: "Well… Later on, I went to do my job of pulling the express, and I also want to show the other Engines that I can be better than the City of Truro. I was chuffing very fast along the main line. Then suddenly, a strange feeling happened to me."
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "What?"
/Gordon\: "The top of my boiler seems funny, and it feels as if something is lose."
/Hefty\: "And what is that something is about to smurf?"
/Gordon\: "My dome."
/Hefty\: "Ohh."
/Tuffy\: "Please continue, Gordon."
/Gordon\: "Well… Later on, I approached the viaduct, and it was very windy over there. Then suddenly, the wind curled around my boiler, crept under my lose dome, and lifted off and away into the valley below."
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "Oh, smurf!"
/Gordon\: "I know, and I felt silly without it."
/Tuffy\: "Then what happened next?"
/Gordon\: "Well… I arrived at a big station. When I got there, some trucks were laughing at me. I tried to wheesh them away, but they crowded 'round no matter what I did. Later on, I was on my back to Tidmouth Sheds, and I was hoping to find my dome. But there isn't any time to do that and kept on chuffing. When evening came, I was hoping that the sheds would be empty. Nighttime came, and when I arrived at Tidmouth Sheds, Toby, James, Percy, Thomas, and Duck were there. Then one of them said to me "never trust dome-less Engines, they aren't respectable." And they kept on teasing me throughout the night."
/Hefty\: "Oh Gordon, I felt so sorry for you."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, me too."
/Gordon\: "But don't be so upset. After that, I went to the works to get a new dome."
/Hefty\: "Oh, good."
/Tuffy\: "By the way, who's Duck?"
/Gordon\: "Oh, you'll find out from the new and updated book, Tuffy."
/Tuffy\: "Oh, alright."
/Hefty\: "But, did you smurf the other Engines that you're smurfier than the City of Truro?"
/Gordon\: "That Hefty, is something that I cannot puff."
/Hefty\: "Oh, my."
/Tuffy\: "Aw, smurfget about it. That was the past anyway. We still think that you're the fastest and the best Engine of all time."
/Hefty\: "Yeah, I'm with Tuffy on that."
Gordon grinned a big grin.
/Gordon\: "Thank you, you two, that means so such to me."
Hefty and Tuffy smiled grandly.
/Hefty\: "Now, is there any more stories about you, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Hmm… Oh, here's about the time that I want my friends to respect me."
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "Ooh."
/Gordon\: "One day, I was enjoying myself pulling the express. I felt so proud of doing that job. But there's one thing that's been bothering me… my firebox rattled as it cooled down at night, and I knew my rattling would stop the other Engines from getting to sleep. That night, my firebox went "click-clonk-click-clonk", and that made Thomas and Percy chuckle and one of them began to tease me. I said to those cheeky Engines that they have very bad manners, but secretly, I felt rather embarrassed."
/Hefty\: "Gee Gordon, we felt sorry for you again."
/Tuffy\: "And Thomas and Percy just don't know when to smurf up."
/Gordon\: "Well Tuffy, they didn't shut up."
/Hefty\: "So what happened next, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Well… In the morning, Percy kept on teasing me, but I ignored him. Then I went to do my job of pulling the express. When I got to Knapford Station, the teasing continued, but this time, by Emily. And then, by Diesel. I was feeling very cross, and I decided that it was time that the other Engines learn to treat me properly."
/Tuffy\: "Ooh, I like where this is smurfin'."
/Hefty\: "But I don't."
/Tuffy\: "Anyway, who's Diesel?"
/Gordon\: "That, Tuffy, is something that you don't want to know."
/Tuffy\: "Oh, ok. So, what did you do, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Oh, I pulled up ahead of James to get to the water tower. And then, I told Percy not to hang around at my platform at Knapford Station."
/Tuffy\: "Whoa, now that's smurfy."
/Hefty\: "Well, I don't think it was smurfy at all."
/Tuffy\: "Aw, who smurfed you. Please continue, Gordon."
/Gordon\: "Alright then… Later on at the station, I told my friends to give a polite "toot-toot" whenever they saw me. Thomas puffed "why", and I puffed "because I'm the strongest and the best", and I chuffed away with the express. I steamed across the island feeling pleased with myself, and I was sure that the other Engines would forget my clonk-clicking and treat me properly now. Later on, I saw Emily coming. I was expecting for her to give me a "toot-toot", but when she passed by me, she didn't whistle to me, and that made me very cross. Then suddenly, I was so cross that I didn't see the red signal, and I ran into a train of jam tanker trucks. Luckily, no one was hurt, but I came off the rails, covered in gooey red jam. As I waited to be put back on the rails, the other Engines came by and teased me again. At last, I was back on the rails, but I felt very foolish. Then Edward pushed me to the fitter's yard. I had to stay at the fitter's yard for a long time, because it was hard to get the jam off of me. Meanwhile, Emily and Henry took turns in pulling the express for me. Evening came, and at Tidmouth Sheds, Henry was puffing that it's hard pulling the express, and Emily agreed with him. And they both realized that I'm very strong and fast to do that job. Then Percy puffed that he miss me and having my rattling to go to sleep by. The next day, I was still getting repaired, and I knew that the other Engines were pulling the express for me and doing a very good job. Finally, a few days later, I was as good as new. And the fitters had even managed to fix the rattle in my firebox. One evening, I had something to puff to my friends. James guessed that is it about being the fastest and the best, but I said no. What I'm trying to puff is; "I know my rattling kept you awake at night", and then I apologized. I also puffed that I was silly about the "toot-toots", and I realized now that Engines toot-toot other Engines, and it's because we work hard and deserve it, not because we asked for it. Then Thomas puffed that they think that I do deserve it, and it's because that I work hard and I'm a really useful Engine, and everyone agreed. And now, all the Engines, including me, greet each other with a cheerful "toot-toot", for all the hard work we do on the Fat Controller's railway."
/Hefty\: "Now that was very smurfy, Gordon. Don't you smurf so, Tuffy?"
/Tuffy\: "Aw, it was fine… I guess."
/Gordon\: "Well, I think it was "smurfy" too."
/Tuffy\: "Oh ok, I think it was VERY smurfy!"
/Gordon\: "That's the spirit, Tuffy!"
Tuffy beamed grandly.
/Hefty\: "So, is there any more about yourself, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Well now, let me see… Oh, there's one time that I almost set a new record."
/Hefty & Tuffy\: "Whoa."
/Gordon\: "One beautiful spring morning, I was at Tidmouth Sheds with my friends. The Fat Controller came to see me. He puffed that if I pull the express across the island and back again on time, then I will set a new Sodor record. I was so excited to hear that. I steamed over to the coal depot to get some coal. I started to puff away, but then the yard manager called to me. He told me to stop, and then he puffed to me that I been given Henry's special coal by mistake. I know that Henry needed special coal, but I thought that if I use Henry's coal, it will help me go faster. So I pretended not to hear that and puffed away. Later on, Henry came to the coal depot. He has a job of taking tar tanker trucks to Knapford. When the yard manager told him that there's no special coal left, he told him that he had to use ordinary coal instead, and that made Henry worried. And I know that ordinary coal clogs Henry's firebox and stop him for making steam."
/Tuffy\: "Whoa."
/Hefty\: "Poor Henry, and I can't believe that you smurf that, Gordon."
/Gordon\: "I know, and I felt guilty too."
/Tuffy\: "So what happened next, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Moments later, I arrived at Knapford Station. The passengers boarded my express, and then I chuffed off right on time. Soon I was chuffing as fast as I could along the main line. I didn't know if it was Henry's coal, or the crisp bright air, but above those, it felt good to be me."
/Tuffy\: "Wow."
/Hefty\: "But what about Henry?"
/Gordon\: "Well, it didn't feel good to him… Henry was chuffing along the countryside. His tar tanker trucks were very heavy, and his firebox and boiler didn't like the ordinary coal. Meanwhile, I steamed across the island, and I was thinking about the new record that I'm going to set. Just then, Henry was having a terrible time. He was rocking and rolling, coughing and wheezing. When Thomas saw him, he thought that Henry looked very ill indeed. Later on, I stopped at a station. I was making good time and feeling grand. Then Thomas arrived. He puffed to me that have I seen Henry, and he also puffed that Henry looked very poorly. I puffed to Thomas that I'm sure Henry is fine. But then Thomas puffed that Henry's face was as green as his tender. And after he puffed that, I began to wish that I hadn't taken Henry's coal, but I still want to set a new record. And so, I chuffed away. But no matter how fast I went, I couldn't get away from the bad feeling in my boiler. And I wasn't enjoying being me anymore."
/Hefty\: "Well, I knew that your guiltiness would smurf up."
/Tuffy\: "And we all get guilty sometimes too."
Gordon grinned a little grin.
/Hefty\: "Please continue, Gordon."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, please."
Gordon beamed brightly.
/Gordon\: "Later on, I stopped at a station to let off some passengers. Henry was there taking on water. His face was green, his axles were shaking, and dark smoke bellowed from his funnel. I puffed to Henry if he's feeling alright, and he puffed that he didn't get his special coal. He also puffed that his firebox feels funny. Minutes later, it was time for me to go. Henry cheered for me. Later on, I was approaching Knapford Station. Some people and the Fat Controller were there. I was on time and going to set a new record. But my bad feeling was so strong, I thought my boiler would burst. So I slowed to a halt, and I was inches away from the platform. The driver cried that I'm going to be late, but I puffed that I don't care. And then I started to reverse back. I soon reached Henry. He had stop for a rest, and he was surprised to see me. Then I puffed to Henry that I took his special coal so I can go faster than ever, and then I apologized. But then, I had an idea."
/Hefty\: "What was your idea, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Me and Henry swap tenders."
/Tuffy\: "Whoa, you steam engines can smurf that?"
/Gordon\: "Yes, we can, Tuffy."
/Tuffy\: "Whoa, smurf!"
/Hefty\: "So what happened after that, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "Well… Soon, Henry's firebox was full of special coal. He felt better right away. And together, we chuffed off to Knapford Station. But I arrived at the station very late. And only Thomas was there. The Fat Controller had gone home for his tea. Then Henry apologized to me for not setting a new record, and I apologized to Henry for taking his coal. Then Thomas puffed "who holds the old record?", and then I puffed "I do!". And we all laughed a good laugh."
/Hefty\: "Now that's a smurfy story, Gordon."
/Tuffy\: "And at least it has a bright side in it."
/Hefty\: "And we still think that you're the strongest, the fastest, and the best Engine ever from the Island of Sodor, Gordon."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah."
Gordon felt very happy and he smiled proudly.
/Hefty\: "I'm thirsty, let's get something to drink."
/Tuffy\: "Yeah, I'm with ya on that."
/Hefty\: "Wanna smurf, Gordon?"
/Gordon\: "I'll come, but I don't need a drink, I have plenty of water."
/Hefty\: "Smurfy, let's smurf."
So Hefty and Tuffy went off to get something to drink. And Gordon magically followed them. And the three special friends went on admiring each other's greatness and strength for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, James, Grouchy, Vanity, and Baby Smurf were at Painter's house. The artistic Smurf was painting a portrait of the three special friends and the infant Smurfling. And Painter was hard at work capturing their perfect images. And James could've been happier than to be with his two Smurf partners, and of course Baby Smurf.
/Painter\: "Ho-ho-ho, it won't be long, mes amis. Zhe portrait will be fini in no time, and it will look fantastique."
/James\: "Splendid! And I know that "magnifique" means "magnificent" in French, but what does "fini" and "fantastique" mean?"
/Painter\: ""Finish" and "fantastic"."
/James\: "Ohh."
/Vanity\: "And there's one word that I like to smurf on your work, Painter; smurfdid!"
/Baby Smurf\: "Gaa!"
But Grouchy couldn't say a word. He was still putting on his usual scowled face.
James looked all around. And he could see that no one was around.
/James\: "It's alright, Grouchy. No one's around."
/Grouchy\: "/Speaking softly\ Are you sure?"
/James\: "Positive."
/Grouchy\: "Oh, ok. And I like to smurf smurfdid on your work too, Painter."
/Painter\: "Ah, merci, mon ami."
Grouchy just had to smile.
/James\: "And I had to puff, back at the Island of Sodor, there's no anyone redder than me. Well, Bertie is red also, but his paintwork is not that bright."
/Vanity\: "And I know that you're proud to be the only brightest and smurfiest red Engine at Sodor. And I'm proud to be the only handsomest and smurfiest Smurf in the village."
/James\: "Yes, it's great to be me."
/Vanity\: "And it's smurfy to be me."
/Grouchy\: "Oh, you two."
/Baby Smurf\: "/Giggling\"
/Painter\: "Oh, and smurfing of red. Monsieur James, zhere'z onze when one of uz turned red."
/James\: "Really, who?"
/Painter\: "Lazy."
/James\: "Whoa! Please, tell me all about it."
/Painter\: "Alright. It all ztarted on Halloween."
/Vanity\: "And also on that day it was Jokey's smurfday."
/James\: "Whoa, Jokey's birthday is on Halloween? Amazing."
/Grouchy\: "But even though, Jokey is not the only one to have a smurfday on Halloween."
/James\: "Oh? Who else has a birthday on Halloween?"
/Grouchy, Vanity, and Painter\: "Gargamel."
/James\: "Oooh, that name and horrid wizard, so disgusting."
/Baby Smurf\: "Blah!"
/James\: "Anyway, begin telling the story, Painter."
/Painter\: "Ok… On Jokey'z smurfday, we were smurfing preparationz for zhe party."
/Vanity\: "And Mother Nature was smurfing ready to prepare for the season of autumn."
/James\: "Who's Mother Nature?"
/Grouchy\: "Mother Nature is a friend of ours, and she controls the weather and seasons."
/James\: "Oh. Anyway, continue, Vanity."
/Vanity\: "Ok… As we still smurfing things ready for the party, Papa Smurf smurf Lazy under a table. He smurfed to Lazy to get some red leafs for decorations, of which Lazy did."
/Painter\: "Meanwhile, Mother Nature waz in zhe forest changing zhe leavez to zheir autumn colorz. In the eastern part of the forest, Jokey smurfed off a surprize box at Monsieur Gargamel'z hovel."
/James\: "What was in the surprise box?"
/Painter\: "I'll get to zhat… When Monsieur Gargamel open zhe box, KABOOM! He got himzelf dirty and zooty from zhe explosion."
/James\: "/Laughing\ That ol' slow coach wizard didn't see that coming! /Laughing\"
/Grouchy\: "It may be funny to you, but it did not to Gargamel."
/James\: "Ohh, he must have no sense of humor anyway. Painter, continue if you please."
/Painter\: "Alright… Back at zhe forest, Lazy waz zhere smurfing for zome red leavez, but he couldn't find one."
/Vanity\: "And after that, he decided to take a nap."
/James\: "That Lazy, he always likes to take a nap."
/Grouchy\: "Hmph, no smurfing on that."
/James\: "Anyway, what happened next, Vanity?"
/Vanity\: "Well… Mother Nature was still changing the leaves. And she didn't know that Lazy was nearby."
/Painter\: "Zhen zuddenly, she turned Lazy red from her magic red wand."
/James\: "Oh, dear! But was Lazy redder than me?"
/Painter\: "Well… yez, he waz."
But James didn't feel jealous about that.
/James\: "No matter, at least he's not that bright red."
/Grouchy\: "You smurf that right, James."
/James\: "So what happened next, Painter?"
/Painter\: "Well… Mother Nature couldn't believe zhat she turned Lazy red. Lazy angrily asked her to change him back to blue, but she smurfed him zhat she couldn't change him back with a red wand. And she alzo smurfed Lazy zhat she haz zome work to do, and she smurfed to him to wait until she's fini, leaving poor Lazy crying."
James felt unhappy and he felt sorry for Lazy.
/Vanity\: "Meanwhile, back at the village… we finish everything for the party, and we immediately started it. Jokey was so happy. And we had so much fun on Jokey's smurfday and Halloween."
/Painter\: "But zhen, Jokey notize zomething. He could zee zhat Lazy waz mizzing. And we all notize it too. Momentz later, it ztarted to rain. And ztill Lazy waz in zhe forest and ztill red, becauze he zhinkz zhat we'll all laugh at him."
/Vanity\: "Back at the village, we all notice that it's raining on Halloween, but even though, it's not suppose to. Back at the forest, Lazy took shelter in a tree hole. Then suddenly, Lazy saw Gargamel and Hogatha."
/James\: "Who's Hogatha?"
/Grouchy\: "An evil and ugly witch."
/James\: "BLACGH! Why did I puff that?!"
/Baby Smurf\: "/MOAN\"
/Vanity\: "Anyway… When Gargamel and Hogatha were arguing, Lazy oversmurf that Gargamel was the one who caused the rain."
/Painter\: "Meanwhile, Mother Nature waz smurfing to Father Time all about Lazy. He smurfed zhat zhere maybe a way to fix it. But back at zhe other part of zhe forest, Gargamel caught Lazy. And he and Hogatha were arguing on who zhould take Lazy."
/Vanity\: "Back at the village, Papa Smurf organized a search party. And we could smurf that the rain had stopped. At the forest, Gargamel and Hogatha were still arguing on who should take Lazy."
/Painter\: "Meanwhile, we came to zhe forest to look for Lazy. And one group went to Monsieur Gargamel'z hovel, but Lazy wazn't zhere. In zhe forest, Mother Nature had finished her duty and waz going to smurf Papa Smurf about Lazy."
/Vanity\: "Later on, Gargamel resmurf back to his hovel with Lazy, and Hogatha came with him. When one of us came back to Gargamel's hovel, Grouchy and I were there. And he was going to do smurfthing horrible to Lazy."
/Painter\: "Meanwhile, we were ztill in the forest zearching for Lazy. But zhen, one of our animal friendz, an owl, came to uz. It smurfed Papa Smurf all about Lazy, Hogatha, and Gargamel. And we immediately gone to zhe rezcue."
/Vanity\: "Later on, Papa Smurf and his group came to Gargamel's hovel. And we all could smurf that the mean wizard was going to smurf Lazy in half!"
/James\: "/GASP\"
/Vanity\: "So we try to smurf up an idea. Gargamel and Hogatha were arguing again. But then, we had an idea. We smurf a blanket off a clothes line. One of us smurf it, and we went up to the top of the hovel. We smurf the blanket on the chimney to smurf the smoke. And then, we smurf action. And we outsmurf those two baddies."
/James\: "/Sighed in relief\"
/Painter\: "When evening came, we resmurf back to zhe village. And Lazy waz indeed ztill red. Zhen zuddenly, with zhe help from Mother Nature and Father Time, zhey managed to turn Lazy blue again. And after zhat, we rezumed zhe party. And everysmurf did indeed had a happy Halloween on Jokey'z smurfday, while Lazy went on doing what he likez to do, and zhat iz indeed smurfing a nap."
/James\: "Heating headlamps, now that's an amazing story. Kind of scary, but still amazing."
/Grouchy\: "And I think it's amazing too."
/Baby Smurf\: "Eee!"
Then James has something in his mind and he turned to Vanity.
/James\: "Vanity?"
/Vanity\: "Yes James?"
/James\: "Are there any times that you want to make yourself even more handsome?"
/Vanity\: "Why yes, twice."
/James\: "Oh. Please, tell me both of them."
/Vanity\: "Well… ok. Here's the time that I want a new look."
/James\: "Ooh."
/Vanity\: "One day, I was at Smurfette's house. She had a new hat that she smurf for herself. But then, she noticed that I was feeling blue. She smurfed to me what was wrong, and I smurfed that I'm really bored. Then Smurfette smurfed that what I really need is something new, and I smurfed that it was a smurfy idea. So I smurf to Tailor's house. I smurfed him that I want something new, and he smurfed that he has something new for me. So I tried everything, but nothing smurf up. I smurfed Tailor again that I want something new, and I smurf some suggestions to him. But Tailor was all smurfed up and angry and he smurf me out of his house, and that smurf me angry too."
/James\: "Boy, Tailor is such a fuss pot."
/Vanity\: "I know, and I smurf so too."
/James\: "So what did you do after that?"
/Vanity\: "Well… I smurf to the forest with Smurfette. We were smurfing some flowers. But then, I smurf something. It was a new yellow hat. It was smurfing on a bush. Me and Smurfette didn't know where it smurf from, and she was getting worried about it. But I smurfed to Smurfette that there's nothing to worry about and I immediately put on the yellow hat."
/James\: "Do you look really handsome with that yellow hat?"
/Vanity\: "Oh yes, I was the most handsomest Smurf ever with that yellow hat. And at first I thought Tailor made the new hat, but I was wrong."
/James\: "Well if Tailor didn't made the yellow hat, then who did?"
/Vanity\: "I'll smurf you when I get to it."
/James\: "Oh alright. Please, continue."
/Vanity\: "Ok... Me and Smurfette resmurfed to the village. Then the other Smurfs started to notice me with my yellow hat. And I was getting the smurfiest attention ever. Nighttime came, and every Smurf was getting ready for bed. But I was still up admiring myself with the yellow hat. I soon started to get sleepy. But before I get to bed, I went to smurf up my face first. But suddenly, something weird happened. My face was getting all spotty and scaly, and I was so surprised to smurf that!"
/James\: "Oh, dear!"
/Vanity\: "I know, horrible isn't it."
/James\: "So what happened next?"
/Vanity\: "Well… So after those strange things appeared on my face, I decided to smurf to Smurfette's house. When she opened the door, she was so surprised to smurf my face smurfing all strange. So I smurfed to her that does she have anything to make these things on my face to go away, and then she used her face powder on me. But it didn't work. So Smurfette suggested I should use plenty of soap and water in the next day. So the next day came, and I smurfed Smurfette's suggestion. But when I smurf water on my face, more strange things appeared on my face. So I smurf more water on my face, but it made it worse. So I smurf to Smurfette for help again. Then Smurfette decided that I should smurf Papa Smurf, and I agreed but I want to smurf him privately at my house. But even though Papa Smurf came, I was hiding in my clothes cabinet. Papa Smurf smurfed that he can't help me when I'm hiding, and Smurfette agreed. So I listened to Papa Smurf and smurf him my face. First, he's been smurfing me some questions. And then he noticed the yellow hat. He smurfed that where I smurf it, and I smurfed that I found it in the woods. And I also smurfed Papa Smurf that the yellow hat was a sample from Tailor's new line. Then Papa Smurf smurfed Smurfette to fetch Tailor, of which she did. When Tailor came, he smurfed that the yellow hat was not his. So Papa Smurf smurfed that he and Tailor should examine it immediately, and he also smurfed to me to smurf off the hat. But when I tried to smurf it off, it was stuck on my head! We tried to smurf it off, but it was no use. Then Smurfette suggested that I should use water to smurf it off. But when I did that, it made things worse, my face was covered in green slime! So I decided to smurf all of my mirrors, and I smurfed to myself that I will never smurf my face again!"
/James\: "Oh, my!"
/Painter\: "And Vanity wouldn't dare to show hiz face in public again."
/James\: "Rattle my rods! So what happened next, Vanity?"
/Vanity\: "Well… Three days later, I was still in my house, wouldn't to smurf out again. Then suddenly, Papa Smurf discovered that the yellow hat was made out of a magical cloth. And he found out who made that hat."
/James\: "So who made the yellow hat, Vanity?"
/Vanity\: "/SIGH\ Gargamel."
/James\: "Oooh, that horrid wizard. Continue, please."
/Vanity\: "Anyway… Papa Smurf smurfed that the only way to help me, is for Tailor to make a hat out of Gargamel's old cloth, and place the hat on Gargamel's head. So that night, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Handy, and Tailor smurfed off to Gargamel's hovel. And they successfully got the magical cloth, and they also smurf some more yellow hats. Tailor had finished making the hat for Gargamel. Water was smurfed into the hat and Papa Smurf smurfed a spell in it. And when the hat smurfed on Gargamel's head, he was suffering the same thing that I did. So Gargamel surrendered and he smurfed the cure to Papa Smurf. Back at the village, Papa Smurf smurf me the cure, and in no time, I was my really handsome self again! And we also smurf the cure to Gargamel too. Smurfette then smurfed that it's so smurfy to see me again, and I smurfed that it's smurfy being seen, smurfing Grouchy to smurf "I HATE being seen!"."
/James\: "Oh Grouchy, you Smurf you."
/Grouchy\: "You know me, James, and that's what I smurf."
/James\: "Yes, I know. And I'm glad that Gargamel got a taste of his own medicine."
/Grouchy\: "And I'm glad too."
/Baby Smurf\: "Mm-hmm."
/James\: "But why you Smurfs give the cure to Gargamel? He got what he deserves."
/Vanity\: "We think that Gargamel got what he deserves too, but Papa Smurf always smurf that we should help Gargamel no matter how bad he is."
/James\: "Oh, bother that saying."
/Grouchy\: "I smurf to that."
/Painter\: "Oui."
And even Baby Smurf had to agree.
/Vanity\: "Oh well. Now, here's the second time that I want to make myself even more handsome."
James listened carefully.
/Vanity\: "One day, I was in the village admiring myself. Then suddenly I smurfed into Brainy. I smurfed him that I have a perfect nose, but Brainy smurfed that my nose was just the same like the other's noses, and that made me upset. So I smurf to Papa Smurf. I smurfed to him that if he can change my nose, but he smurfed "no". Later on, me and Brainy were smurfing in the forest trying to figure out what to do. But then, we heard someone crying. It turns out that the crying came from Bignose, and with her was Bigmouth."
/James\: "Who's Bignose and Bigmouth?"
/Grouchy\: "A couple of ogres."
/James\: "EWW!"
/Vanity\: "Anyway… Bignose was crying about her big nose. Then she smurfed that she'll go to "the wizard" to make her nose smaller. And I was smurfing that I should go to see "the wizard" to help my nose problem. So I smurf a ride on Bignose's hat. When I got to the wizard's house, "the wizard" was no other than… Gargamel!"
/James\: "/GROWL\"
/Vanity\: "So, I got to Gargamel's hovel. And I stayed well hidden. I smurf that Gargamel was going to trade noses with Bignose, of which they did, but till the next day. I stayed at Gargamel's hovel till nighttime so I can fix my nose. I cast a spell on my nose, and then I quietly smurf Gargamel's hovel. When the next day came, I smurf up and saw that the spell worked, and my nose was a golden jewel-encrusted nose!"
/James\: "A golden jewel-encrusted nose? My, that's really splendid."
/Vanity\: "I think so too."
/James\: "And let me guess, you showed-off your nose to the other Smurfs, did you?"
/Vanity\: "Yes, I did."
/James\: "Now that's what I like about you, Vanity. Please, continue."
/Vanity\: "Ok… So I was smurfing off my new nose to the other Smurfs. But suddenly, they all laughed at me! Then Papa Smurf came, and he smurfed me "what have I done to my nose?", and I smurfed that I used a spell from Gargamel's book. And when he smurf that, he got angry. But then I see the error of my ways and I smurfed to Papa Smurf to change my nose back, but he smurfed that only the original spell can undo the magic. So I smurf back to Gargamel's hovel. But when I got inside, I can smurf that Gargamel had smurf away the book. So I had to smurf for it myself before Gargamel smurfs back. And at last, I found the book. But before I can use it, Gargamel came back! I tried to escape, but with Bignose's nose, he smurfed me! But then, Bigmouth and Bignose came, and they smurfed that they want to trade back noses. So Gargamel let me go and I escape safely. When I smurf back to the village, I went to smurf Papa Smurf. I smurfed him that I felt sorry, but I also smurfed I had to live on with my golden jewel-encrusted nose. But Papa Smurf smurfed that things will look brighter in the morning, but I doubt it. But when morning came, I can smurf that my old nose came back! And in conclusion, Papa Smurf smurfed to me that I should learn to be happy with myself the way I am, and I agree."
/James\: "And you know what, Vanity? I'm happy the way you are too."
/Vanity\: "Oh thank you, James, that smurfs so much to me. And I smurf so much to my myself too. /SMOOCH\"
James was disgusted. But he was getting used to it.
But Grouchy rolled his eyes upward.
Baby Smurf just cooed.
/Baby Smurf\: "/Cooing\"
And James smiled grandly.
At long last, Painter finally finished his painting.
/Painter\: "Voila, my masteurpiesa iz fini!"
/James\: "Can we see it please?"
Painter showed his portrait to the three special friends and Baby Smurf.
/James\: "Oooh, I sure do look really splendid."
/Vanity\: "And I sure do look really handsome."
/Grouchy\: "/Speaking softly\ And I sure look smurfy with my scowl."
/James\: "And Baby Smurf sure looked really cute."
/Baby Smurf\: "/Babbling happily\"
/James\: "Well done, Painter. You did a splendid job."
/Vanity\: "I smurf on that."
/Grouchy\: "Me too."
/Baby Smurf\: "Gaa!"
Painter felt so proud of himself.
/James\: "Uh-oh, Grouchy, someone's coming."
Grouchy quickly put on his scowled face.
Just then, Latino came by.
/Latino\: "Hola amigos, what are you doing?"
/Vanity\: "Painter had just finished his painting of me, Grouchy, James, and Baby Smurf."
/Latino\: "Empanada! Can I smurf?"
Painter showed his painting to Latino.
/Latino\: "Oooh, que smurfy. And Grouchy, as usual."
Grouchy didn't say a word.
Just then, Clumsy was approaching. He was carrying buckets of rocks, stones, and pebbles to his house for his collection.
/Clumsy\: "/Singing\ LA, LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. LA, LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. LA, LA-LA, LA, LA. Hey y'all!"
/Latino\: "Hola Clumsy."
/Painter\: "Bonjour Clumsy."
/Vanity & James\: "Hello Clumsy."
/Grouchy\: "I HATE "hello"!"
/Clumsy\: "What y'all doing?"
/James\: "Looking at Painter's painting. What are you doing?"
/Clumsy\: "Oh, just smurfing these rocks, stones, and pebbles to my house."
/James\: "What for?"
/Clumsy\: "For my collection."
/James\: "Oh, well, that's a nice hobby."
/Clumsy\: "It sure is. Well, smurf ya."
/Latino\: "Adiós Clumsy."
/Painter\: "Au revoir Clumsy."
/Vanity & James\: "Goodbye Clumsy."
/Grouchy\: "I HATE "goodbye"!"
So Clumsy continued on to his house.
/Clumsy\: "/Humming the Smurf tune\"
Suddenly, Clumsy clumsily tripped.
/Clumsy\: "WHOOPS!"
He let go both of the buckets. The buckets then flew up in the air, and straight down towards James and the other Smurfs.
Vanity saw the buckets and shouted.
/Vanity\: "LOOK OUT!"
Everyone cleared off just in time. But it was too late for James.
/James\: "OH NO!"
Rocks, stones, and pebbles rained all over James. And they even scratched his paintwork.
Everyone was very shocked.
/Painter\: "SACRE SMURF!"
/Latino\: "AY SMURFRAMBA!"
/Vanity\: "OH MY SMURFNESS!"
/Grouchy\: "I HATE SMURFING THAT!"
/Baby Smurf\: "UH-OH!"
/James\: "MY PAINTWORK, MY REALLY SPLENDID PAINTWORK!"
Everyone glared angrily at Clumsy.
/James\: "CLUM-SY!"
/Clumsy\: "Gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do it on purpose!"
/Latino\: "We know that!"
/Painter\: "But you're ztill a clumzy Smurf!"
Clumsy felt terrible. But even though, he couldn't get over his silly habit.
/James\: "Oh, forget it. I sure could use a new coat of paint anyway."
/Vanity\: "Smurfy idea, James. And we'll help."
/James\: "But before you all will give me a new coat of paint, you got to scrape off my old paint first."
/Painter\: "Pas de problème. Handy haz a tool for zhat."
/Latino\: "Espléndido, I'll go smurf that."
/Painter\: "And I'll get zhe paintz and brushez."
/Clumsy\: "Hey, can I help?"
/Latino, Painter, Vanity, Grouchy, & James\: "NO!"
/James\: "We don't want any more of your silly habit, Clumsy!"
/Grouchy\: "And I HATE your silly habit!"
/James\: "So be off with you!"
Clumsy felt hurt and he sadly walked away.
/James\: "Oh, and Painter, don't forget to add my black stripes and #5."
/Painter\: "Don't worry, I won't."
So Latino went off to Handy's house to get a paint scraping tool.
And Painter went to his house to get the paints and brushes.
And in no time, the four Smurfs went to work on giving James a new coat of red paint, while Baby Smurf just sit down and watch.
Meanwhile, around the village, Percy, Harmony, and Jokey were having their fun. The little green tank engine and the prankster Smurf were being very cheeky. But Harmony wasn't being cheeky, he just stand by and watch them. But even though, the off-key musical Smurf wanted to have some fun too.
/Jokey\: "/Chuckling\ Wait until you smurf this, Percy. It's my best prank ever."
/Percy\: "Pumping pistons, I hope it's funny."
/Harmony\: "Well, sometimes yes and sometimes no."
Jokey was carrying a surprise box. And he brought more that were inside of Percy's cab.
/Jokey\: "Let's see? Which Smurf will be my first victim?"
Just then, Jokey saw his first victim. It was Poet.
/Jokey\: "Ah! Poet will be my first victim. Get ready, Percy."
/Percy\: "Hmm."
Poet was trying to think of a poem that he wanted to create.
But then, Jokey came.
/Jokey\: "Hello Poet."
/Poet\: "Oh, hello Jokey."
/Jokey\: "What ya smurfin'?"
/Poet\: "I'm trying to smurf of a poem, but nothing's smurfing to me."
/Jokey\: "Oh, I'm sure something will smurf up. Anyway, I have something for you."
/Poet\: "Oh no, Jokey. I'm not smurfing for that again."
/Jokey\: "But it's something for you to help smurf up a poem that you want to create."
/Poet\: "Oh, really? Then give me it, please."
/Jokey\: "Here you go. /Chuckling\"
/Poet\: "Gee, thanks Jokey."
/Jokey\: "Don't mention it."
Jokey walked away back to Harmony and Percy.
/Jokey\: "Now smurf this. /Giggling\"
Percy watched closely.
Poet began to unwrap the box. Then suddenly… "/KABOOM!\"
/Poet\: "Oh smurf, not again!"
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
Poet was furious.
/Poet\: "Very funny, Jokey!"
/Jokey\: "It sure is! /Laughing\"
But then, Jokey noticed something. He could see that Percy wasn't laughing.
/Jokey\: "Percy, why aren't ya laughin'? It's funny."
/Percy\: "I'm sorry, Jokey. But I don't found that funny."
/Harmony\: "Welcome to my world."
/Jokey\: "WHAT?!"
/Percy\: "I mean, look at Poet. Now he's all dirty and sooty."
/Jokey\: "Well that's the point of it. When someone opens the box… BOOM! They smurf themselves dirty and sooty. It's really funny."
/Percy\: "I don't think it's funny, I think it's awful."
/Jokey\: "Oh Percy, I thought you have a sense of humor."
/Percy\: "I do have a sense of humor, but what you did to Poet was not a good sense of humor."
/Jokey\: "Oh, smurf. Well then, I guess I'll just have to think of a way to make you laugh."
/Harmony\: "Hmph, good luck with that."
/Percy\: "Yes, good luck."
/Jokey\: "Just you wait, I will make you laugh."
So Jokey began on trying to make Percy laugh. But even though, the cheeky Smurf was doing the same old prank.
First, Jokey pulled a prank on Greedy. "/KABOOM!\"
/Greedy\: "JOKEY!"
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
But Percy didn't laugh.
/Jokey\: "Oh, smurf!"
Second, Jokey pulled a prank on Dabbler. "/KABOOM!\"
/Dabbler\: "JOKEY!"
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
But for the second time, Percy still didn't laugh.
/Jokey\: "Oh, double smurf!"
Third, Jokey pulled a prank on Pushover. "/KABOOM!\"
/Pushover\: "JOKEY!"
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
But for the third time, Percy still didn't laugh.
/Jokey\: "Oh, triple smurf!"
Fourth, Jokey pulled a prank on Wooly. "/KABOOM!\"
/Wooly\: "SMURF IT, JOKEY!"
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
But for the fourth time, Percy still didn't laugh.
/Jokey\: "Oh, quadruple smurf!"
Fifth, Jokey pulled a prank on Flighty. "/KABOOM!\"
/Flighty\: "I should've smurf "no"."
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
But for the fifth time, Percy still didn't laugh.
/Jokey\: "Oh, quintuple smurf!"
And sixth and last, Jokey pulled a prank on Tailor. "/KABOOM!\"
/Tailor\: "SMURF YOU, JOKEY!"
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\"
But for the sixth and final time, Percy still didn't laugh.
/Jokey\: "Oh, sextuple smurf!"
And no matter how much he tried, Jokey still couldn't get Percy to laugh.
At last, Jokey gave up.
/Jokey\: "Oh, I give up. I couldn't make you laugh, Percy."
/Percy\: "I'm sorry, Jokey. Those pranks you pulled on your friends didn't make me laugh."
/Harmony\: "And did I forget to mention that Jokey still loves to use the same old prank ever since he was a Smurfling?"
Percy was unhappy.
/Percy\: "Jokey, I think it's time that you should do a new prank."
/Jokey\: "A NEW PRANK?! NEVER!"
/Percy\: "Then I think that you shouldn't be partners with me!"
/Jokey\: "Fine! Who would want to be partners with a cheeky Engine that wouldn't laugh from a same old prank anyway."
Jokey furiously went to Percy's cab, grabbed the surprise boxes, and he walked away with a huff.
Percy was cross.
/Percy\: "That Jokey, using the same old prank, it's not funny, not funny at all."
Harmony was worried.
/Harmony\: "Percy, I know that Jokey still smurfs the same old prank, but you shouldn't smurf those things to him, he's your partner."
Suddenly, Percy saw the error of his ways and he began to feel sad.
/Percy\: "Oh bother, what have I done?! I chose Jokey to be my partner because we have a lot in common. You're right, Harmony. I should've not puff those things to Jokey."
/Harmony\: "Well, it's not too late to apologize."
Percy reversed back, and he magically chuffed forward. And he and Harmony went off after Jokey.
Jokey was still furious. And he was walking slowly towards his house.
/Percy\: "Jokey! Jokey, wait!"
/Jokey\: "Go away!"
/Percy\: "Please, wait! Jokey!"
/Jokey\: "I smurf "go away"!"
/Percy\: "But, Jokey…!"
Suddenly, Percy saw something. He could see that Jokey was heading straight towards a small hole. And the prankster Smurf didn't notice it.
/Percy\: "JOKEY, LOOK OUT!"
But it was too late. Jokey stepped on the small hole, lost his balance, and he tripped.
/Jokey\: "WHOA!"
Jokey let go of the surprise boxes. The boxes flew straight up in the air, and then they dropped down all over Jokey. "/KABOOM 5x\"
/Jokey\: "SMURF MY SMURFS!"
Jokey was all dirty and sooty from head to toe.
/Harmony\: "OH MY SMURFNESS!"
Then suddenly, something amazing happened. Percy laughed.
/Percy\: "/Laughing heavily\"
Jokey was surprised and he couldn't believe on what he was hearing.
/Percy\: "Oh Jokey, that's the most funny thing that I ever saw! /Laughing heavily\"
Harmony began to laugh too.
/Harmony\: "/Laughing heavily\"
And suddenly, Jokey began to laugh also.
/Jokey\: "/Laughing heavily\ I did it, I did it! I made you laugh, Percy!"
/Percy\: "You sure did, Jokey! /Laughing heavily\"
/Percy, Harmony, and Jokey\: "/Laughing heavily for a few seconds\"
After the three special friends had a good laugh, Jokey raised himself up, and he went up to Percy and Harmony.
/Percy\: "Jokey, I'm sorry that I puffed those things to you. I want you to be my partner again. That is, if you want to."
Jokey smiled.
/Jokey\: "Of course, Percy. I'll be your partner again, and I accept your apology."
Percy beamed happily.
/Harmony\: "Now, wanna smurf something with me, Percy?"
/Percy\: "Like what?"
/Harmony\: "Well, Jokey smurfed me that you have a super loud whistle. So let's smurf who smurfs the loudest noise of all."
/Percy\: "Oh, alright."
/Harmony\: "Smurfy! Hmm. What should we smurf?"
Jokey looked all around. But then, he saw something. He could see that Lazy was sleeping in his hammock.
Jokey had an idea.
/Jokey\: "Hey, I know! Let's smurf who ever smurf Lazy up from his nap. /Giggling\"
/Percy\: "Oooh, now that's a very cheeky idea."
/Harmony\: "Very cheeky indeed."
/Jokey\: "Ok, let's smurf it."
The three special friends went off towards Lazy.
When they got there, Lazy was still sleeping.
/Lazy\: "/Snoring\"
/Harmony\: "Ok, I'll have a smurf."
Harmony hold his breath. And then, he blew his trumpet loudly as he could.
/Harmony\: "/Playing trumpet off-key loudly\"
Lazy jumped and he covered his ears. The sleepy Smurf was furious.
/Lazy\: "Harmony! Harmony! HARMONY!"
/Harmony\: "/Sound of off-key trumpet playing stops\"
/Lazy\: "Would you stop that racket?! I was having a nap!"
/Harmony\: "Yes Lazy."
/Lazy\: "Hmph! /YAWN\ /Snoring\"
/Harmony\: "Well, guess I'm not loud enough."
/Percy\: "You did your best, Harmony. Now it's my turn."
/Jokey\: "Watch this, Harmony. This is going to be funny /Giggling\"
Percy began huffing and puffing. He huffed, and puffed, and then, he blew his whistle the loudest of all!
/Percy\: "/PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!\"
/Lazy\: "EYAAAAAH!"
Lazy shot up in the air, and he landed down in his hammock. Then he twist himself inside the hammock.
Everyone also heard Percy's loud whistle.
And it woke up Papa and Grandpa from their nap.
/Papa\: "GREAT SMURFS!"
/Grandpa\: "SMURF-A-ROONIE!"
And it startled Nanny.
/Nanny\: "MY SMURFNESS!"
At last, Percy stopped whistling. And he, Harmony, and Jokey laughed.
/Percy, Harmony, and Jokey\: "/Laughing heavily\"
Lazy was furious and he untwist himself from his hammock.
/Lazy\: "THAT'S NOT FUNNY! NOW THAT LOUD NOISE IS SMURFED INSIDE MY HEAD!"
/Percy, Harmony, and Jokey\: "/Laughing heavily\"
/Papa\: "WHAT IN THE SMURF IS SMURFING ON HERE?!"
/Percy, Harmony, and Jokey\: "/GASP\ Uh-oh."
Papa, Grandpa, Nanny, some of the Smurfs, and some of the Engines went up to Percy, Harmony, and Jokey. They were all furious and cross.
/Papa\: "Now just what are you three think you're smurfing?"
/Harmony\: "Ummm, trying to find out which one of us can smurf a loud noise?"
/Percy\: "Yes, that."
/Jokey\: "Yeah."
/Lazy\: "More like trying to smurf me up with those loud noises!"
/Papa\: "Not only that, you smurf me up with those loud noises too!"
/Grandpa\: "Me too!"
/Nanny\: "You smurftled me too!"
/Architect\: "And you three bothered us on what we're smurfing!"
/Some Smurfs\: "Yeah!"
Percy, Harmony, and Jokey felt terrible.
/Papa\: "We don't want to smurf any of those noises again! Do I make myself clear?"
/Harmony & Jokey\: "Yes Papa Smurf."
/Percy\: "Yes Papa Smurf."
After that was settled, Papa, Grandpa, Nanny, and some of the Smurfs went back to their houses.
/Thomas\: "Percy, how many times do we have to puff you?"
/Edward\: "You can only blow your whistle very loudly if there's a warning, or anything else that goes wrong."
/Percy\: "Sorry Thomas, sorry Edward, and sorry Gordon."
/Gordon\: "Hmph, you better be sorry."
After that, the Engines left Percy and went back to on what they were doing.
/Jokey\: "Why did Edward smurf that you can only smurf your whistle loudly when there's trouble?"
/Percy\: "Well, it's kind of a long story."
/Harmony\: "But we don't mind smurfing it."
/Percy\: "Do you both really want to hear about how I got my whistle super loud?"
/Harmony & Jokey\: "Yes."
/Percy\: "Alright then, I'll puff it. Gather 'round you two."
Harmony and Jokey all listened carefully as Percy began to tell his story.
/Percy\: "It was winter; a thick blanket of snow lay over the Island of Sodor. All the Engines were busy carrying passengers and goods from station to station. Sometimes, we need to warn people that we are coming. So steam engines blow their whistles, and diesel engines sound their electric horns. One day, I took some trucks to a quarry. I then whistled "hello" to 'Arry and Bert, but they laughed at me and they puff that their horns were better than my whistle, and that made me very cross."
/Harmony\: "Who's 'Arry and Bert?"
/Percy\: "That Harmony, is something that you don't want to know."
/Harmony\: "Oh, ok."
/Jokey\: "So what did you smurf next, Percy?"
/Percy\: "Well… I was chuffing through the countryside practicing my super loud whistling, and I got it good. Later on, I chuffed back to the quarry. And then, I surprised 'Arry and Bert with my super loud whistle."
/Jokey\: "/Laughing\ Now that's a smurfy surprise!"
/Harmony\: "It is indeed."
Percy smiled cheekily.
/Harmony\: "So what happened next, Percy?"
/Percy\: "Well… Now that I have a super loud whistle, I can't wait to use it again. Along the countryside, I saw Thomas at a siding. Then I blew my whistle super loud, it made Thomas jumped and biffed into some trucks. But even though, Thomas was cross, but I didn't notice it. I was too busy having fun. Later on, along the line next to a road, I saw Bertie the Bus. I again blew my whistle super loud. It made Bertie jumped and he swerved across the road, and went into a snowy ditch. Bertie too was cross, but I already chuffed away."
/Harmony\: "Oh my, your loud whistling really made Thomas and Bertie furious."
/Jokey\: "Just like a few moments ago with the other Smurfs and your friends."
/Percy\: "Well, like we always puff, we all get carried away and make mistakes."
Harmony and Jokey agreed with Percy.
/Jokey\: "What happened next, Percy?"
/Percy\: "Well… That evening, I was at Tidmouth Sheds. Thomas puffed to me all about the trouble that I had caused. And I puffed to Thomas that I won't do it again. But even though, I did it again. The next day, I was chuffing through the countryside pulling tanker trucks of milk. I puffed to myself that I wish I can have one more loud whistle. As I was chuffing along the line, I couldn't see any people, or Engines. But I was wrong. I blew my whistle loudly again. I didn't realize that I startled Trevor the Traction Engine. When he jumped, he bumped into a pile of logs. One of the logs fell off and rolled down a hill. Snow stuck to the log, and turned into a snowball. It got bigger and bigger. I was enjoying myself, until I saw the snowball. The snowball then crash into me. But luckily, no one was hurt. Then the driver went to call for help. I waited in the cold. My funnel was freezing and my axles were shivering. But at last, Thomas arrived, and he brought the Fat Controller with him. He was very cross and scolded at me. He puffed to me that whistles are for safety, and not for playing games. He also puffed to me that I can only use my whistle when the time is right. And I promised that I can use my whistle properly from now on."
/Jokey\: "Smurf, that sure is smurftainly not funny at all."
/Harmony\: "And now we know that you can only use your whistle for safety and other things."
/Percy\: "And that's a promise that I had to take."
/Jokey\: "Yeah."
/Harmony\: "Now what happened next, Percy?"
/Percy\: "Well… The next day, I was being a quiet Engine indeed, and I didn't use my whistle once. I chuffed through a tunnel. As I puffed out of the tunnel, I saw a snowdrift on the line. And I stopped just in time. But then, I heard Thomas coming. And he was heading towards the snowdrift. So I know what I had to do. And I blew my whistle loudest of all as a warning. Thomas heard me and stopped just in time. When evening came, the Fat Controller came to the sheds to see me. He puffed to me that I've done well to use my whistle in the right time and saved Thomas from an accident. I felt so proud, it made my firebox tingled. I use my whistle safely now, and all my friends can see that."
/Harmony\: "Now that's a smurfy thing that you did, Percy."
/Jokey\: "It is indeed."
/Percy\: "And that's what makes me a really useful Engine, and a safe one."
/Jokey\: "You're sure are, Percy."
/Harmony\: "You're sure are."
Percy beamed from buffer to buffer.
/Harmony\: "So… now what?"
/Percy\: "I don't know. Nothing had flown through my funnel."
/Jokey\: "Well, wanna smurf to my house to smurf some stories about me and my cheekiness?"
/Percy\: "Well… alright."
/Harmony\: "I guess so."
/Jokey\: "Ok, let's smurf."
Harmony and Jokey boarded Percy. And then, the #6 engine, with his two Smurf partners aboard, magically chuffed off to Jokey's house to hear stories about the prankster Smurf and his cheeky adventures.
At the forest in the southeast, Toby, Farmer, and Slouchy were at the smurfberry field. The little brown tram engine was very amazed. And he was also impressed with the farming Smurf. Toby could tell that Farmer had worked his hardest to have such a lovely field. And Toby thought that Farmer was indeed a really useful Smurf for doing that job. And even Slouchy had to agree.
/Slouchy\: "Farmer sure is a very hard working Smurf isn't he, Toby?"
/Toby\: "He sure is, Slouchy, and he's also a really useful one too."
/Slouchy\: "Indeed."
/Toby\: "What about you, Slouchy? Are you really useful?"
/Slouchy\: "Oh yeah, I am. And I always smurf things smurfy and steady."
/Toby\: "Me too. Speaking of that, I have a friend who is just like you too."
/Slouchy\: "Really, who?"
/Toby\: "Flora."
/Slouchy\: "Who's Flora?"
/Toby\: "Flora is a tram engine like me but younger, and an Engineling."
/Slouchy\: "Wow. She sounds smurfy, I really want to smurf her."
/Toby\: "Maybe you will, once we Engines return to Sodor."
/Slouchy\: "And not only that, I want to be partners with her."
/Toby\: "But for now, you're partners with me."
/Slouchy\: "Yeah, but just for the time being."
Toby grinned happily. Then an idea flew through his funnel.
/Toby\: "Slouchy, do you want to hear a story about Flora?"
/Slouchy\: "Oh, yes please."
Just then, Farmer came. He had just finished working in the smurfberry field.
/Farmer\: "Ok, I'm done smurfing my field, and the smurfberries are smurfier than ever. So, what you two had been smurfing'?"
/Slouchy\: "Toby is about to smurf a story about Flora."
/Farmer\: "Who's Flora?"
/Slouchy\: "Flora is a tram engine like Toby but younger, and she's an Engineling. And she's also like me."
/Farmer\: "Well now, ain't that a smurfy coincidence."
/Slouchy\: "I know."
/Toby\: "Alright then, gather 'round."
Farmer and Slouchy both listened carefully.
/Toby\: "One bright morning, Thomas puffed into Arlesdale End to see me. Thomas could see that I looked happy. And I puffed to him the reason why was because the Fat Controller had asked me to lead the parade of the first Great Waterton festival. And he puffed to me that it's because I'm the only steam tram on Sodor. Well, not anymore. Then Thomas puffed quickly away. The Fat Controller was waiting for him at Great Waterton. Thomas had three important jobs to do."
/Slouchy\: "Excuse me, Toby, but what's Great Waterton?"
/Toby\: "Great Waterton is an old town that was once abandoned but now found and fully restored, and one of us discovered it."
/Farmer\: "Ooh, who discovered the old town?"
/Toby\: "Thomas."
/Farmer & Slouchy\: "Whoa."
/Slouchy\: "Please continue, Toby."
/Toby\: "Alright… Thomas raced in to Great Waterton. And there waiting on rails, was Flora. Then the Fat Controller puffed to Thomas that Flora was to lead the parade with me, and that made Thomas shocked. The Fat Controller then puffed to Thomas that he's to take Flora and introduce her to me. And then, the Fat Controller puffed that I must bring Flora back to Great Waterton in time for the parade. Thomas was worried, and he thought that I think I'm leading the parade all by myself, and I would get upset. So Thomas made a plan."
/Farmer\: "What was the plan?"
/Toby\: "The plan was to keep Flora away from me until after the parade."
/Slouchy\: "Hey, that was an unsmurfy plan."
/Toby\: "I think so too. But Thomas didn't really mean to do that."
/Slouchy\: "Oh, ok."
/Farmer\: "So what happened next, Toby?"
/Toby\: "Well… Thomas and Flora arrived at the junction. Then he had an idea. He's to take Flora to do one of his jobs before they go to Arlesdale End, and he thinks that by then I would have left to lead the parade. So they race away to one of Thomas' job. First, they went to the wood yard. Thomas collected a flat-bed truck of heavy logs. And after that, he took Flora to meet me. The two Engines waited at the junction to my shed. Thomas thinks it was empty, but he was wrong. Suddenly, Thomas saw steam coming out of my shed, and it was indeed me. So he tried to keep Flora away from me once more. Next, they went to the shunting yard. While they got there, Thomas collected some trucks of stone. And after that, he took Flora to meet me again. The two Engines arrived at Arlesdale End. And this time, Thomas thinks that I had left again, but he was wrong again. Suddenly, Thomas heard a bell ringing, and again it was indeed me. So he again tried to keep Flora away from me once more. And lastly, they went to Brendam Docks. At the docks, Thomas dropped off his trucks, and he collected a large load that he had to take to Great Waterton. Now he was sure that I would be leading the parade. And after all that chuffing, Flora's axles ached. But Thomas steamed strongly. The two Engines puffed up to the junction at Arlesdale End. But then, there was trouble. Flora had chuffed too far, she ran out of coal. Thomas felt bad, and it was all his fault. Then they heard a chuff and a puff and a ring of a bell. It was me! I puffed to Thomas that I had been waiting for him. Then I met Flora. I was very happy. But then, there's a problem. Neither me or Flora was at the parade, and the Fat Controller would be very cross. So Thomas introduced me to Flora and back. I was very happy. That made Thomas surprised. Then I puffed to Thomas that I'm too scared to lead the parade all by myself, and me and Flora can now lead it together. Then Thomas puffed to me that he thought that I know what I wanted, and he apologized. Now, Thomas had to quickly put right his mistake. So he gave Flora some of his coal, and in no time, she and I chuffed off quickly to Great Watertown. Later, Thomas chuffed in to Great Waterton. The parade was ready to leave. Thomas' flatbed truck was uncovered. And to Flora's surprise, she now has a wonderful new tram coach. I felt very pleased. Thomas watched me and Flora lead the first Great Waterton parade. The children cheered, and the brass band boom. Now Thomas has another best friend, and she's a steam tram too. And Thomas smiled his happiest smile."
/Slouchy\: "That was a very smurfy story, Toby."
/Farmer\: "Indeed, especially about you and Flora."
/Toby\: "And after that, I became a good role model to Flora, and she became a really useful Engine."
/Slouchy\: "I bet she is."
/Farmer\: "And we think that you're a really useful and smurfy Engine, Toby."
/Slouchy\: "Yeah."
Toby smiled his brightest smile.
Just then, Slouchy had something to say to Toby.
/Slouchy\: "Umm, Toby?"
/Toby\: "Yes Slouchy?"
/Slouchy\: "Want to smurf something unbelievable?"
/Toby\: "Well… yes."
/Slouchy\: "Ok. It's about me, Nat, and Snappy."
/Toby\: "Oh?"
/Slouchy\: "You see, the three of us used to be adult Smurfs."
/Toby\: "What?! You're pulling my coupler!"
/Slouchy\: "It's true, Toby."
/Farmer\: "The three Smurflings really used to be grown-up Smurfs."
/Toby\: "Rattling rods, how can that be?"
/Slouchy\: "I'd be happy to smurf you about it."
/Toby\: "Please, do tell."
/Slouchy\: "Ok… It all started on the day that the Smurfs were practicing for the musical festival. Papa Smurf was in his house smurfing his harmonica. But as he was smurfing, he ends up forgetting about his experiment boiling in the kettle. He tries to keep it from exploding, but it was too late, and then he sees that the hourglass that he has been using to time his experiments with "has seen better hours". Meanwhile, Nat, Snappy, and me were outside smurfing the other Smurfs practicing for the festival. And Nat has his pet butterflies with him. Just then, Papa Smurf came to us, and he smurfed Nat and Snappy that they can take his hourglass to Father Time for repairs. And he also smurfed to them that if Father Time's not there, they'll just simply leave the hourglass on his workbench with a note, and he warns them not to touch anything. But then, I smurf along with them."
/Toby\: "Who's Father Time?"
/Farmer\: "Father Time is a friend of ours, and he's the controller of time."
/Toby\: "Whoa. Anyway, please continue, Slouchy."
/Slouchy\: "Alright… We finally arrived at Father Time's cave. But when we smurfed inside, Father Time wasn't home. So Snappy smurf the hourglass and note on the workbench like Papa Smurf smurfed him to. But then, Snappy notice smurfthing. He could smurf that a grandfather clock with its hour and minute hands running rapidly backwards. When he smurf to it, he opened the door. Nat smurfed him about what Papa Smurf had smurf to him. Then suddenly, a cuckoo bird smurfed out of a cuckoo clock. It scared Nat's pet butterflies. Nat smurfs into the clock to try saving one of them. But then, Snappy and me smurfed into the clock when Nat is unable to smurf. With the three of us trapped in the clock, time continues its reverse spin until it hits 12:00. After Father Time's clock stops spinning, Nat, Snappy, and me emerge from the clock as Smurflings in adult Smurf clothes!"
/Toby\: "Bust my buffers, I can't believe that you three went into the clock despite Papa Smurf's warning!"
/Farmer\: "Mmm, smurf me about it."
/Slouchy\: "Well, we didn't feel bad about it."
/Toby\: "Well, you should be!"
/Farmer\: "I smurf to that!"
Slouchy just slouched.
/Toby\: "So what happened next, Slouchy?"
/Slouchy\: "Well… After we emerge from the grandfather clock, we were trying to figure out what happened to us. And one of the butterflies that Nat tries to smurf, had changed back into a caterpillar. And after that, we smurf back to the village. Meanwhile, at the village, Papa Smurf was busy conducting the village symphony orchestra. We arrived at the village. And when Papa Smurf and the other Smurfs smurf us, they were shockingly surprised. So Father Time came to the village and we were all smurfed in. He smurfed that he can't change me, Snappy, and Nat back to adult Smurfs. Everysmurf was upset. And Papa Smurf smurfed that Me, Snappy, and Nat will just had to be Smurflings until we grow up. Then everysmurf began to argue, but Papa Smurf quickly put a stop to it. Papa Smurf smurfed that the other Smurfs were used to be Smurflings too. And he also smurfed that Smurflings need guidance and understanding and a love of each and every Smurf, and he and the others will help us be part of their lives. So everysmurf made an agreement and understand everything. Just then, Tailor smurfed in and smurfed that we Smurflings should get some new clothes as a start. Then Papa Smurf smurfed that if they all work together, like they always have, they can take care of us Smurflings and have music festivals too, and everysmurf agreed. At Tailor's house, he had just finished smurfing us Smurflings some new clothes. But we don't like them, so we choose what we smurf. And after that, Tailor was furious and he smurfed to us Smurflings that Papa Smurf will not like it. While we smurf outside, we were trying to figure out on what should we smurf. Then Nat smurfed that we should be in the music festival, and Me and Snappy think that's a smurfy idea. Nat and Snappy smurfed off so fast, while I smurf on slowly and smurfy. We went to Brainy's house and smurfed him that if we can be in the festival, but Brainy smurfed that we can't and also smurfed that Smurflings are too young to appreciate music, and that made us furious. Nat and Snappy were arguing with Brainy, while I just smurf out of it. Then, Papa Smurf smurfed in. He smurfed to us that we need to treat grownups with respect. And he also smurfed Brainy to set a good example for us Smurflings. So Papa Smurf agrees to allow us to be part of the musical festival, which made us happy. Meanwhile, Handy was smurfing a new house for us. Nat and Snappy smurfed him that if he can build some musical instruments for us, but Handy smurfed that he was too busy at the moment. So Handy offers to let us make our own instruments and gave use permission to use his tools and the old junk that he has lying around in his backyard. Then we smurfed some parts that we need and we immediately get to work. That evening, the musical festival started. Papa Smurf goes on first with his symphony orchestra, where he finishes his piece with his harmonica. Backstage, we were having a problem with Brainy's "promise". But then, he smurfed that we can go on after he and his band finishes. Clumsy commented about our instruments being strange, though it doesn't faze use in the least, particularly me, who I liked him. After Brainy finishes his piece to a moderate reception, we realized the he decides to continue playing with another piece, which it irritates us. So we smurf up with a plan to get Brainy off the stage. Nat sends his pet butterfly to sit on Brainy's baton, causing Brainy to wildly swing it around to get it off, but also causing his band to play so fast that it exhausts both them and Brainy. Everysmurf were laughing at them until they finally stop and smurf off the stage. And finally, we smurf to the stage. The music that us Smurflings create with our homemade instruments leaves everysmurf wondering what to call it - and so also does our dancing. After the music festival, we continued smurfing the tune through the night. Brainy was very dissmurfed, Papa Smurf smurfed to Brainy that maybe he's just old-fashioned. And as Brainy smurfs off to bed, Papa Smurf just couldn't resist dancing to our new tune."
/Toby\: "Well bless my bell, that's a very amazing story, Slouchy."
/Slouchy\: "Thanks, Toby."
/Toby\: "But do you Smurflings miss being an adult Smurf?"
/Slouchy\: "Umm, not really."
/Farmer\: "Well, we adult Smurfs really do miss being a Smurfling."
/Toby\: "And I had to puff, how long does a Smurf's life last?"
/Farmer\: "Oh, a Smurf's life can smurf up to 1,000 years."
/Toby\: "Oh, my!"
/Farmer\: "Yeah, unbelievable isn't it."
/Slouchy\: "And we know that you Engines age by years of service. We smurfed it from the book."
/Farmer\: "But how will you Engines know when your life has smurf into an end?"
/Toby\: "Well Farmer, it all depends on how useful we can be. But don't worry, I'm sure that we Engines can last for long, and still being really useful."
/Farmer\: "I hope so."
/Slouchy\: "And we think that you're a really useful Engine, Toby, no matter how long you will last."
/Toby\: "Thank you, Slouchy, that means so much to me."
And the three special friends all beamed happily.
After the three friends had their time, Farmer and Slouchy boarded Toby. And then, the #7 engine magically chuffed off to the village with his two Smurf partners aboard.
At the village, Emily, Sassette, and Smurfette were at the only female adult Smurf's house. Smurfette was doing some stuff around her house. And Sassette was helping her. And Emily just stand by watching them. The mid-size emerald tender engine was pleased with Smurfette to have such a beautiful house, especially that it has flowers all around the structure.
/Emily\: "Wobbling wheels, Smurfette. Your house is so beautiful, especially with the flowers."
/Smurfette\: "Thank you, Emily."
Just then, Sassette came up to Smurfette.
/Sassette\: "Smurfette, I finished with the things that you smurfed me to. Is there anything else that you want me to smurf?"
/Smurfette\: "No Sassette, that's all for now. You can go."
/Sassette\: "Gee, thanks Smurfette."
Sassette came up to Emily.
/Sassette\: "Emily, now that I'm finished, I'll smurf you the Smurflings' house."
/Emily\: "Wonderful, show me the way."
/Sassette\: "Ok, follow me."
Sassette began to walk. And Emily began following her. They walked all across the village. They passed by some Smurfs. And they passed by some of the Smurfs' houses. At last, they approached the Smurfling's house.
/Sassette\: "There it is, Emily. The Smurflings' house."
/Emily\: "Oh, my!"
The house was on a tree stump.
Emily was amazed.
/Emily\: "The Smurflings' house is so wonderful, Sassette."
/Sassette\: "Thanks, Emily."
Emily and Sassette came to a halt.
/Emily\: "So that is where you younger Smurfs live?"
/Sassette\: "Yup."
/Emily\: "But, do you four had to share a bed?"
/Sassette\: "Oh, no. We each get our own bed, and they're bunk beds."
/Emily\: "Oh. What else you Smurflings have in that house?"
/Sassette\: "Oh, some clothes, toys, and other stuff."
/Emily\: "Oh, alright."
Emily looked at Sassette. She could see that the only female Smurfling was beaming happily. Emily couldn't help but beam happily too.
But then, Emily had something in her mind that she wanted to say to Sassette. So she spoke up to the little female Smurfette.
/Emily\: "Sassette?"
/Sassette\: "Yeah?"
/Emily\: "There's something that I had to puff."
/Sassette\: "What is it?"
/Emily\: "How could you, Smurfette, and Nanny be the only girl Smurfs in the village?"
Sassette frowned.
/Sassette\: "Well… I think we should smurf about this with Smurfette."
/Emily\: "Alright then, let's go."
Sassette boarded Emily. The non-numbered engine then reverse back. And then, she magically chuffed off to Smurfette's house with Sassette aboard.
At Smurfette's house, the adult female Smurf had just finished doing some stuff.
/Smurfette\: "There, all finished and everything looks smurfy."
Just then, Smurfette heard Sassette calling to her.
/Sassette\: "Smurfette!"
Smurfette turned, and she could see Emily and Sassette coming to her.
/Smurfette\: "Oh!"
Emily came to a halt.
Then Smurfette notice something. She could see that Emily and Sassette were looking very unhappy. Smurfette was puzzled.
/Smurfette\: "Emily, Sassette, why the unsmurfy faces?"
Sassette got off of Emily. And then she walked up front to Emily.
/Sassette\: "Smurfette, can you smurf here please?"
Smurfette walked up to Sassette and Emily. When she got to them, she stopped.
/Smurfette\: "What's wrong?"
/Sassette\: "Well, Emily smurfed this question."
/Smurfette\: "What question?"
/Sassette\: "Go on, Emily, tell her."
/Emily\: "Smurfette, how could you, Sassette, and Nanny be the only girl Smurfs in the village?"
When Smurfette heard that, she looked unhappy.
/Smurfette\: "Oh smurf, I knew you might smurf that."
/Emily\: "Well, I want to know."
/Smurfette\: "/SIGH\ Well, ok."
Smurfette took a deep breath. And then, she began to tell Emily.
/Smurfette\: "You see, Emily, me and Sassette were actually… created."
/Emily\: "WHAT?!"
/Sassette\: "It's true, I was created by the Smurflings, and she was created by Pappy Gargamel."
/Emily\: "Pappy Gargamel? Who's Pappy Gargamel?"
/Smurfette\: "Actually it's just "Gargamel", and he's the mean wizard that we smurf you about."
/Emily\: "Funnels and fenders, I don't know what to puff!"
Sassette and Smurfette just frowned.
/Emily\: "So Smurfette, why did Gargamel created you?"
/Smurfette\: "Well, he created me to be evil and to smurf the other Smurfs to him."
/Emily\: "Oh, dear. So, how did you become on what you are now?"
/Smurfette\: "Oh I'm glad that you smurf that, Emily. Papa Smurf use some magic to make me a real kind-hearted Smurf that you know right now."
/Emily\: "Whoa. And Sassette, why did the Smurflings created you?"
/Sassette\: "Well, the Smurflings created me to be a "sister figure" to Smurfette."
/Emily\: "Oh, my!"
/Sassette\: "But, I started out as a little nasty terror, but then, Pappy Smurf use some magic to make me a real sweet kind-hearted little Smurfling that you know right now."
/Emily\: "Wow!"
Sassette and Smurfette beamed cheerfully.
/Emily\: "Well I'm glad that you are now on the Smurfs' side, Smurfette. And Sassette, I'm glad that you're not a little horrid Smurfling anymore."
/Sassette & Smurfette\: "And we're glad too."
And the three special friends all beamed happily.
/Emily\: "Oh, what about Nanny, was she created by Gargamel too?"
/Sassette\: "Actually no, some of us rescued her from a mysterious magic castle that she was imprisoned for 500 years."
/Emily\: "Oh, my wheels and coupling side-rods! And I'm glad that some of you and Nanny manage to escape that mysterious magic castle."
/Sassette\: "And we're glad too."
/Emily\: "Blimey, this is all too much for me, and I thought my boiler would explode."
/Smurfette\: "And we're sorry that you had to smurf through with it."
/Emily\: "Well on the bright side, at least there are some happy endings to those things."
/Sassette\: "Yeah."
/Smurfette\: "You smurf it."
And the three special friends all smiled cheerfully.
Just then, Smurfette had something to say to Emily.
/Smurfette\: "Emily?"
/Emily\: "Yes Smurfette?"
/Smurfette\: "Were you glad that you're not the only girl steam locomotive from Sodor?"
Emily grinned.
/Emily\: "Why yes, I am glad that I'm not the only girl steam locomotive from Sodor, and I'm very pleased to have Molly, Rosie, and Flora come to the island."
/Smurfette\: "Well, we're happy to smurf that."
/Sassette\: "Jumpin' jackrabbits, think you can smurf us all about Molly and Rosie, please?"
/Emily\: "Of course. But do you what to hear about Flora too?"
/Sassette\: "Nah, just those two."
/Emily\: "Alright then. But before I do that, do you two want to hear about when I first arrived to Sodor?"
/Sassette\: "Well… ok."
/Smurfette\: "We would love to smurf that."
/Emily\: "Alright."
The two female Smurfs all listened carefully as Emily began to tell her story.
/Emily\: "It was a splendid day on the Island of Sodor. Thomas was taking his two coaches back to the yard. A new Engine had arrived, and the Engine was me. Thomas came in to Knapford Station. The Fat Controller introduced me to Thomas. Then the Fat Controller gave me my first job, I was to collect some coaches and run along the railway. When I got to the yard, the only coaches that I could see were Annie and Clarabel. At first, I thought that they were regular coaches, and I didn't know that they were Thomas'. So I was coupled up to Thomas' coaches and I was in no time chuffing along the railway. The coaches were then grumbling about that I take them without Thomas' permission. Later on, I saw Thomas coming by. I whistled to him, but he didn't whistle me back, he was cross. I didn't hear him grumbling and I went on my way. Then I whistled to Edward, but he didn't whistle me back also. And then I whistled to Percy, but he too didn't whistle me back. I was wondering why the Engines didn't whistle me back, and why they were not friendly to me. I was so upset."
/Sassette\: "Ignoring iguanas, that's harsh."
/Smurfette\: "And that was very unsmurfy."
/Emily\: "I know, and I think so too."
/Sassette\: "So what happened next, Emily?"
/Emily\: "Well… Later, the Fat Controller came to see Thomas. He told him that he has to go to Brendam Docks to pick up some new coaches. At first, Thomas thought that the new coaches were meant for him, but they were meant for someone else. Later on, I returned Thomas' coaches back to the yard. Oliver was there. He puffed to me that Annie and Clarabel belong to Thomas. And I figured out that's the reason why Thomas was so cross about. So I set off to find and apologize to him. Meanwhile, Thomas was chuffing along the line pulling the new coaches, and he was indeed still grumbling about it. Later, I was still looking for Thomas. Suddenly, I saw a signalman waving a red flag, telling me to stop. He told me that Oliver hasn't cleared his signal-box and told me to go see what was wrong. As I chuffed along the line, I stopped and could see what the problem was. Oliver has broken down and stopped on a diamond crossing. Then I heard Thomas' whistle. He could see Oliver, but he couldn't stop in time. So I took action and quickly began to move Oliver out of the way. And with much effort, I pushed Oliver out of the way just in time. Later, I was sent to see the Fat Controller. When I got there, he praised me and presented me with two new coaches, and those are the coaches that Thomas brought in and were meant for someone else, which is me! Then on, I apologized to Thomas for taking his coaches, and he apologized to me for being cross at me. I love my coaches, and to be part of the Fat Controller's railway."
/Smurfette\: "Oh Emily, you were very heroic!"
/Sassette\: "And very brave!"
/Emily\: "Ohhhh."
Emily felt so proud it made her boiler bubbled.
/Smurfette\: "Now smurf us about Molly."
/Sassette\: "Yeah."
/Emily\: "Alright then, here I go… It was a blustery day on the Island of Sodor. Thomas was excited, he was on his way to meet a new Engine, and indeed that new Engine was Molly. When Thomas met Molly, he could see that she was upset. Thomas puffed to her why she was upset, and Molly puffed to Thomas that I laughed at her because she has to take empty trucks to the coaling plant. Molly also puffed to Thomas that she wants to take full trucks like a really useful Engine. That made Thomas upset also. So he tried to think of a way to help Molly feel important. Then, Thomas saw some tarpaulin flapping in the wind. That gave him an idea. So in no…"
/Smurfette\: "Wait! Emily, that was very unsmurfy that you smurf to Molly!"
/Sassette\: "Yeah, I can't believe that you laughed at her!"
/Emily\: "I can't help it, I found that funny."
/Smurfette\: "Well, I don't think it was funny."
/Sassette\: "Me too."
/Emily\: "Alright, I'm sorry. May I continue now?"
/Sassette & Smurfette\: "Yes."
/Emily\: "Alright… So in no time, Molly's trucks were covered by the tarpaulins. That would think that she was pulling a special delivery, and it would make her feel important. Later, Thomas chuffed into Maithwaite Station. I was there. He puffed to me all about Molly's special. So I puffed to him what is it, but he puffed that he won't tell and it's the most special special of all. And every time Thomas saw another Engine, he puffed to them all about Molly's special special. At Knapford Station, all the Engines were talking about Molly's special, they were excited. All except Gordon. He puffed to Thomas that it won't be as important as his express. But Thomas puffed back to Gordon that Molly's special is much more important than the express. He also puffed to Gordon that he will see it at the night at Abbey Station. But then, Thomas was worried, and he was wondering how to make Molly's trucks look even more special than Gordon's express. Later that evening, Thomas chuffed into Maithwaite Station again. He saw a stationmaster lighting lanterns. That gave Thomas another idea. So he asked to borrow the lanterns. Soon, Thomas' trucks were filled with the lanterns. And he puffed away to find Molly. Soon, Molly's trucks were decorated with the beautiful lanterns. She was taking the trucks to the coaling plant for a very important job. Thomas puffed to Molly that she must go through Abbey Station because lots of Engines will be there to see her. The lanterns on Molly's trucks twinkled like stars in the night. At last, Thomas and Molly arrived at Abbey Station. I was there waiting with Gordon and Percy. We were amazed to see Molly's special, and that made Molly felt special. But not for long. A strong gust of wind blew one of the tarpaulins in the air. Now we all could see that there was nothing inside the trucks. Molly felt silly, and not very important at all. So she puffed away as fast as she could. Just then, the Fat Controller called the stationmaster. And the stationmaster came to see Thomas. He told him that there are lots of Engines waiting at the coaling plant for Molly's trucks. So Thomas chuffed off to find Molly. He found her at a siding. Together, they set off to the coaling plant. And in no time, they arrived at the plant. Edward, Henry, and James were there. They needed the empty trucks to start their nighttime deliveries. Thomas puffed to Molly that her trucks were important after all, and that made Molly felt so proud. Then Henry puffed to Molly that he and the other Engines needed more trucks. Molly puffed to them that she'll get them, and Thomas puffed that he'll help. With enough coal, the two Engines raced back to the yard. When they got there, they collected some more empty trucks, and they chuffed quickly away. Soon, they stopped at a junction. Gordon was there, his signal was red. Molly boasted to him, and Thomas puffed to him that sometimes empty trucks are more important than his express. Gordon's face went as red as the stop signal. And Molly felt more special than special."
/Sassette\: "Smurf-a-roo, now that's a smurfy ending!"
/Smurfette\: "And I'm happy for Molly."
/Emily\: "And I had to admit that I'm also happy for Molly."
/Smurfette\: "But did you apologize to Molly for being unsmurfy to her?"
/Emily\: "Yes, I did."
/Sassette\: "Well, that's good."
/Emily\: "Now, I'll puff you both about Rosie."
/Sassette & Smurfette\: "Smurfy."
/Emily\: "Now how does it go? Oh yes… It was the stormy season on the Island of Sodor. All the Engines were battling against the bad weather. Thomas was busy delivering supplies and mail in the far part of the island. He really enjoyed going up to High Farm. It was up on a hill, right at the end of the line. A little girl called Alice live there. Alice and Thomas were good friends. One day, Thomas was on his way to High Farm when Rosie stopped beside him. Rosie was a cheerful, chirpy little tank engine. She was always pleased to meet Thomas. She liked him so much that she wanted to be just like him. So she tried to copy him. She tried to wheesh the way Thomas did. She even tried to whistle like Thomas. It made Thomas cross."
/Sassette\: "Copying cockatoos, Rosie was copying Thomas? That was funny! But smurfy thing that I don't copy any Smurf, not even Smurfette."
/Emily\: "Well, good for you, Sassette."
/Smurfette\: "So what happened next, Emily?"
/Emily\: "Well… Just then, Harold the Helicopter arrived. He said to Thomas that there's a storm warning, with high winds and heavy rain. Harold warned to Thomas not to go up to High Farm because heavy rain can cause landslides on that hilly route. Then Harold flew away. But Thomas didn't want to let Alice down. Rosie puffed to Thomas that she'll come along and be his bank engine. But Thomas didn't want Rosie to come. He puffed to Rosie that he'll manage on his own. So Thomas chuffed quickly away. But Rosie liked Thomas very much, and she wanted to help. So Rosie chuffed cheekily after Thomas. Later, Thomas puffed along the line to High Farm. The sky grew darker and darker. Soon, it was pouring with rain. Thomas' pistons pumped and his boiler bubbled, it was hard work. He thinks that Rosie can't follow him, but he was wrong. Rosie's pistons were pumping and her boiler was bubbling right behind him. She whistled cheerfully to Thomas. That made Thomas very annoyed. Soon, Thomas came to a junction. One way was the longer easy way to High Farm, the other way was shorter and much harder. He knew that the longer way was safer. But, he chose to take the shorter way, so Rosie won't be able to follow him. As the storm raged, Thomas chuffed furiously up the steep track. He was almost to High Farm. And he was sure that Rosie wasn't behind him now. Then there was trouble. Earth and stones tumbled down the bank and blocked Thomas' track. But he still wanted to deliver Alice's presents. Thomas thought he'll just had to bash his way through. So he pushed forward into the landslide. Thomas was up to his buffers in mud and stones. He tried to push on, but he couldn't. He tried to back out, but he couldn't. Thomas was stuck, and he felt silly and very sad. He should've listened to Harold, and he thought that Alice will never get her presents on time. Then, he heard the toot of another Engine. It was Rosie, chuffing proudly up the hill behind him. Then she saw Thomas was stuck. Thomas felt very silly. Rosie puffed to Thomas that she'll go and get help. But Thomas puffed to her that she has to deliver Alice's presents for him. That made Rosie happy and she agreed to help Thomas. Rosie was soon coupled up to Thomas' trucks. Then she steamed off to High Farm. Thomas waited for Rosie to come back. He was happy she had followed him after all. Soon, Rosie came chuffing back down the line. She puffed to Thomas that Alice's mother had telephoned for help, and Edward was on his way to pull him out. Then, Thomas noticed that Rosie had a passenger on board. It was Alice. She had come to thank Thomas for getting her birthday presents to her. Thomas tooted happily, and so did Rosie."
/Sassette\: "Wow, now that's a smurfy story."
/Smurfette\: "I smurf to that."
/Sassette\: "And you know what? I think I want to be partners with Rosie."
/Emily\: "Well, maybe you will. But for now, you're partners with me."
/Sassette\: "Yeah, I know."
/Smurfette\: "Well, I smurftainly had the most smurfy time being with you, Emily."
/Sassette\: "Me too."
/Emily\: "And I certainly had the most splendid time being with you both also."
/Sassette\: "So, what should we do now?"
/Smurfette\: "I don't know, the day is still bright."
/Emily\: "How about a ride on me around the village?"
/Smurfette\: "Well… ok."
/Sassette\: "What do we have to smurf?"
Emily just smiled.
Sassette and Smurfette boarded Emily. And then, the mid-size emerald tender engine magically chuffed off giving her two Smurf partners a ride around the village.
A few hours had passed, and everything around the Smurf village was going nice and pleasant. Henry, Nat, and Tracker had returned to the village after seeing the Great Oak Tree. Latino, Painter, Grouchy, and Vanity had finished giving James a new coat of red paint. And Emily had just finished giving Sassette and Smurfette a ride around the village. And the rest of the Steam Team were having a wonderful time with their Smurf partners also.
When evening came, the Smurfs were having their supper. And the Engines were gathered 'round near the dining house. They were all talking about their day with one of the Smurfs. And they were glad that their day was nice and splendid. But even though, one of the Engines were telling the others about more facts about the Smurfs. Toby told them all about that Nat, Slouchy, and Snappy were used to be adult Smurfs and how long the life of a Smurf last. And they were all surprised and amazed to hear that, especially Thomas and Henry, who were partners with one of the Smurflings. And then, Emily told the Engines that Sassette and Smurfette were actually created. And they were all even more surprised and amazed to hear that. But above all, the Steam Team do really like to hear more about the Smurfs, and they gained a lot of knowledge from all those facts.
Nighttime came, and after the Smurfs had finished their supper, they all went to their houses to get ready for bed. They all put on their pajamas, brushed their teeth, and washed their faces. And then they tucked themselves inside their own bed.
Lastly, the Steam Team were all snuggled up in their newly-built mushroom sheds. And they all think that the sheds were the very coziest structures ever. But even though, they also think that Tidmouth Sheds was the coziest structure ever also.

One of the Smurfs and one of the Engines closed their eyes, and they all went happily and peacefully to sleep. And they all can't wait on what they're going to do the next day.
