I have been really looking forward to working on this story again. I think that it will all add up to an epic Smurf's parody of cuteness and romance! Time for the reviews.
flowerpower71- I'm glad you like Scaredy as Hubbie. You don't see much about Scaredy in a parody or even having an OC and after watching The Pebble and the Penguin, it inspired me to write it as a parody starring him. Hey, even the cowards deserve to have the spotlight at one time or another. No offense, Scaredy. Everyone's a coward sometimes.
Scaredy: N-no pr-problem, Frosty. I'm used t-to it.
Affectionette: Aw. (takes Scaredy in a big hug, making Scaredy's cheeks flare purple) But you shouldn't be used to that. No one should. You're no coward, Scaredy. Nobody has the right to call you that.
Anyway, I felt Xavier was an ideal OC to play Rocko because of the bond that he and Hubbie made in the movie was the same as Xavier and Scaredy in my past stories. Scaredy is the timid one who needs help getting the girl of his dreams and Xavier is the tough one who shows him the ropes in getting his girl.
Chloe-You should familiarize yourself with the movie. It's a really good one.
Sapphire777-Frankly, my favorite song out of the whole movie was Looks Like I've Got Me a Friend. Now that's a chapter you guys will be looking forward to. I intend to have a lot of fun with that one, but Now and Forever is a close second.
SmallSunshine-Same to you. Watch the movie and you will fall in love with it. Not even joking. I fell in love with this one just like I fell in love with Dumbo and Titanic. That's right. I watched Titanic when I was little and loved it!
Guest-I am happy you approve.
ayla lloyd-Don't worry. More chapters will be coming along very soon.
I own only Affectionette, Xavier, Jock, Dull, Lackey, and Follower Smurf. Scaredy and other Smurfs belong to Peyo. The Pebble and the Penguin belongs Don Bluth Limited. Let's get this show on the road!
Of all the Smurfs in all the world, the most romantic was Scaredy. He had a secret love in his life: Affectionette, the most beautiful Smurfette in the whole Smurf village.
Scaredy sighed, sitting in his usual spot, which was a small clearing with a nice little pond and rocks to sit on. Trees surrounded the place but left a circle of sky above, which when seen on a clear night under the blue moon…it would just mystify anyone.
He hummed lightly to himself, arranging small stones together in the shape of twin hearts. A day wouldn't pass by when Affectionette wasn't on his mind. How much he wished to give her the shiniest, most beautiful sapphire to prove his love for her.
Giving out a loud sigh, he thought, If only…
"Hi, Scaredy!"
"YIPE!" Scaredy bounced in the air in fright and fell right into the water. He flailed his arms and pushed himself to the surface, paddling to the shore. He shook the water off of his body followed by taking off his hat and wringing it out.
"Sorry, Scaredy. Didn't mean ta scare you," Slouchy Smurfling said, he and Oddette and Snappy Smurfling by his side.
"N-no. It's f-fine," Scaredy put his hat back on his head. "Wh-what are you th-three d-doing here?"
"We want to hear a story," Slouchy said eagerly.
"Yeah! A love story!" Oddette gushed.
"Aw, that's mushy stuff!" Snappy grumbled, crossing his arms and sitting on a rock.
"Oh, Snappy!" The red-headed Smurfling chastised.
Scaredy blew out a quiet breath of air and sat on the grass, "W-well, once there was a Smurf…who fell in love with the most beautiful Smurfette in the entire Smurf village."
While Snappy humphed and look disinterested, Slouchy and Oddette had gleams in their eyes as they heard the tale.
"Oooh, did she love him back?" Oddette asked excitedly.
"They never even met," Scaredy sadly admitted. "You see, he was sm-smurfily shy…"
"Ohh," Oddette giggled.
"Well," Scaredy continued, secretly hiding a hand behind his back as if he were making a wish, "one day, he walked right up to her and said, 'Hello, Affectionette. I'm Scaredy Smurf, and I think your smurftastic!'"
Oddette and Slouchy giggled and joined in with the half-hearted laughter of Scaredy Smurf.
Scaredy then only frowned to himself, shaking his head as he got to his shaky feet, "Oh, who am I sm-smurfing? I've never even t-talked to her."
A squirrel scurried down from a tree seemingly out of nowhere, chittering loudly right next to the easily frightened Smurf. Scaredy gave out a mighty yelp, scaring both the squirrel and himself…again. The frightened creature scurried back up the tree, but Scaredy was not so fortunate. He stumbled backwards just a little too far and fell backwards, rolling down the grassy hill and, miraculously, missing all of the dangerous obstacles such as trees, rocks, and pricker bushes.
The Smurflings rushed to the edge and watched their good friend roll down the hill helplessly and with no way of stopping himself. Slouchy then said, "That can't feel good."
Scaredy could only whimper and wince as he fell down the hill, his mind on a total blank since he was so scared. Even if he wasn't in such a blank state of mind, he would be too afraid of any choices to stop if it would only hurt him more.
"OOH!" He heard a female voice squeal in surprise as he crashed into her. The two flew forward and skidded onto the grass and finally to a stop.
Scaredy groaned as he lay on his stomach, pulling his knees in so he could get himself somewhat up off of the ground. His eyes widened and he attempted to swallow the gigantic lump in his throat as he stammered out, "G-goodness smurfness! Af-Affectionette!"
The blonde Smurfette clad in dark blue smiled at him as she was sprawled out on her back and giggled as she sat up. Scaredy's tail couldn't help but wag vigorously at the chime of her giggles.
"So, that wasn't an avalanche, huh?" she teased playfully as she stood up. "That was some landing, Scaredy," she said sweetly as she tapped his nose with a delicate finger.
Almost as if her touch stung him but only, Scaredy jumped back and landed on his back. Affectionette brought her hand back and folded them in front of her, a light purple blush on her cheeks.
"I-I'm s-s-so s-sorry, A-Affectionette. I'm just so cl-clumsy," Scaredy sat back up clasping his own hands in front of him, fiddling with them in embarrassment.
"Oh, don't be silly, Scaredy," the blonde Smurfette smiled and held out a hand for Scaredy to grab. The shy Smurf gave her a nervous smile in return and timidly reached out his hand to hers. With one swift, gentle pull, Scaredy was back onto his feet, making him stumble forward into her arms.
She began to giggle, which made Scaredy actually start to giggle with her. It was half-hearted and quiet at first, but he began to gain confidence with it.
But someone else had his eye on the fair Affectionette. An evil Smurf named Jock, who always got his way.
Even from a hill higher up than even Scaredy's special spot, a Smurf with cold blue eyes glared down mainly at the Smurf who was so close with who he thought should be his mate and wife. This Smurf was dressed with the traditional white Smurf cap and trousers, but also sported two black leather straps that crossed across his chest in the shape of an X along with a long, black cape that blew a little in the wind.
"Look at that little wimp," he hissed out, his muscles tensing as he pushed his cape back, "I'll smurf that fearful st-st-stutter right out of him!"
"Affectionette doesn't know it yet, but she's going to be my wife and eternal mate," he continued, turning to a large piece of crystal flattened down into a mirror, which was held up just barely by three identical Smurfs: Lackey, Follower, and Dull.
All they wore was the white Smruf hat and trousers. It was hard telling them apart from one another. Not even Jock could be certain which one he was talking to if not all of them at once, not like he even cared.
Jock flashed a charming smile at the mirror and said, "Our children will be the strongest, the smartest, the bravest, not to mention the best looking," he boasted, running a finger down the smooth, cold surface. "Why, they'll be just like me!"
He began laughing in glee to himself at the very thought, making the three Smurfs laugh along with him. Hearing the laughter and, being easily annoyed, Jock turned to them, glaring at them viciously. At the sight of their leader, they stopped and shrunk down in fear.
"I'm tellin' you Smurfs, Affectionette is as good as mine," he turned his glare back down the hill, seething at the sight of Affectionette still holding Scaredy in her arms.
The blue moon was still in the sky as the three Smurflings snuck up the hill to where Scaredy's special spot was. He had invited Affectionette to come there and get to know each other a little better.
Oddette was the first up the hill as she pushed into the bushes quietly and got a good spot to spy. Slouchy and Snappy followed right behind her and settling themselves to peek through the bushes.
Scaredy rocked back and forth on his feet when Affectionette, who was sat on a smooth rock near the small pond with the fish swimming peacefully, said, "This is quite a spot, Scaredy. What do ya do up here?"
"Oh!" Scaredy was startled at the question, but answered, "I…w-wonder about..stuff."
That was such an unsmurfily dumb answer! Scaredy inwardly slapped his forehead.
"Stuff? What kind of stuff?" Affectionette asked sweetly with a smile.
"I just…No, you'd th-think it's s-s-silly," Scaredy's shoulders slumped down in shame.
Affectionette gently, but reassuringly, put a hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm sure it's not silly at all. Try me."
Scaredy couldn't help but smile a little and buck up again. He cleared his throat and began,
Sometimes, I wonder what the humans do
Why the sky is b-blue
Like your eyes…
Affectionette smiled widely and batted her eyelashes at him, her blue eyes glinting with knowing at his sweet, melodious words. Scaredy, however, gasped and slammed his hands over his mouth. He removed them and slumped down again as he said,
I'm sorry…
Affectionette shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Go on."
Scaredy's tail twitched excitedly at her encouragement and decided to go on as she wished.
Sometimes, I wonder why the moon is new
Where the stars are shooting to
When they're shooting through the sky!
Affectionette couldn't help but inwardly swoon at all of this. It was so overwhelming at how Scaredy was so passionate and open when he was usually so quiet and shy. Most of all, she noticed, he had not even studdered the entire time. Scaredy wore a large smile and his arms were wide out as he continued,
There's wonderous things that I
Would like to know.
Like how they make the waves and turn the tides.
And then I wonder why,
I wonder so
Why other guys are busy choosing brides…
By then, Scaredy was done on one knee in front of Affectionette, eyes closed but still confident in himself. Oddette sighed dreamily and bated her on eyelashes at the romantic scene. Snappy silently gagged to himself at all of the mushy feeling in the air.
Scaredy gasped as he realized the position he was in and got up hastily. He cleared his throat and asked,
"Umm…Where was I?"
"Choosing brides," Affectionette whispered to him, her tone seeming to hold longing to it.
Scaredy nodded and gulped nervously,
Sometimes, I wonder if there'll ever be
Someone right for me.
Someone who may wonder too…
Scaredy looked at Affectionette, mostly with hopeful eyes that she would be the wonderer that his heart craved for. Her caring and loving look at him convinced him that this was certain.
Who's wonderful…
Oddette nodded, a large smile on her face as she was silently cheering Scaredy on. Snappy rolled his eyes and Slouchy only gave mild interest to them all.
Like-OH!
Scaredy stopped himself before he could finish the sentence. He tried to save himself by saying,
I don't know…like y-y-y…
"Y-you must be bored to tears with all th-this wacky nonsense," Scaredy slumped down in embarrassment.
"Oh no! I don't think it's nonsense at all!" Affectionette stood from her place and put a hand on his arm. She was kind of sad that the open, passionate Scaredy Smurf was gone, but it's nice to know there's more to him than just shaking and fear. Not like she cared, anyway. "Even if you are a little wacky."
For emphasis, Affectionette leaned over and placed a tender kiss on Scaredy's cheek. Scaredy froze instantly and his blue eyes went wide, dark purple glowing from his face. The affectionate Smurfette giggled and grabbed his arm, pulling him to sit down on the smooth rock next to her.
Scaredy shook his head and returned to normal, but almost lost it when Affectionette sighed blissfully and put her head on his shoulder. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and cuddled her head with his own.
