Part 6
Narrator was busy watching over
Miracle, the former Baby Smurf, as he related more parts of the
story.
"What happens next?" Miracle
asked.
"Well, Miracle, the next few days,
your fellow Smurfs have been so busy smurfing together the wedding
that you and I will be attending," Narrator said in his
storytelling voice. "Of course, with Brainy being who he is and
also being the head coordinator of all the preparations, trouble
would eventually smurf our way. He would get on their smurfs about
how things were not up to standards and offered lots of personal
suggestions that his fellow Smurfs did not want to hear. As usual,
they got so smurfed up with him that they eventually smurfed him
out of the village...not permanently, but just to smurf that he
was getting too big for his smurfs around them."
"That part is funny," Miracle
said, laughing.
"I suppose it is, Miracle,"
Narrator said. "Anyway, as the day of the wedding smurfed closer,
Smurfette was beginning to worry about the other guests showing
up. She was also worried about Hefty and the Smurfs who stayed
behind in Pussywillow Hollow to smurf after the Pussywillow
Pixies. It was then that another Smurf whom most Smurfs haven't
smurfed in years decided to smurf his appearance."
Miracle then beat upon his chest
and made a Tarzan-like yell.
Narrator laughed. "You know
exactly who I'm smurfing about, young one."
Most of the Smurfs who were busy in
their preparation work for the wedding stopped to hear the
familiar Tarzan-like yell of a Smurf they knew all too well. It
was Wild Smurf, who just leaped down from a nearby tree.
"Wild Smurf!" Papa Smurf
exclaimed. "It's been a long time since we last smurfed you in our
village!"
"Papa Smurf, it's so smurfy to see
you," Wild Smurf said, giving the village leader a hug. "You
smurfed the fur off your face!"
"Ah, so you noticed," Papa Smurf
said. "Well, I still smurf a moustache, because, well...you
know..."
"What's smurfing on here?" Wild
Smurf asked, looking at all the preparations taking place.
"Your fellow Smurfs, Empath and
Smurfette, are going to be married, so we're preparing to smurf a
wedding ceremony for them that will smurf place tomorrow," Papa
Smurf explained. "Some of your fellow Smurfs have gone to
Pussywillow Hollow to smurf some of our guests and they haven't
smurfed back since."
"Sounds dangerous," Wild Smurf
said. "Is there anything I can smurf to help?"
"I wouldn't want you to smurf in
there alone, Wild Smurf, but we're smurfing out of time," Papa
Smurf said. "You and Century will have to smurf back into the
hollow to make smurf that our fellow Smurfs and the Pussywillow
Pixies arrive safely to the wedding."
"Oh, Pops, is there anything Glonk
can do?" Flowerbell asked, having arrived sometime earlier with
her boyfriend.
Papa Smurf turned to her
boyfriend. "We have friends in the Pussywillow Hollow that may
need our help. Can you smurf there with Wild and Century?"
"Glonk glonk," Glonk replied,
nodding eagerly.
"You think sending Glonk into such
a dangerous place like Pussywillow Hollow is wise?" Flowerbell
asked.
"I'd like to smurf the look on the
Wartmongers' faces when they have to smurf across something like
him," Papa Smurf said with a chuckle.
Flowerbell also laughed. "I'm sure
that he would scare the warts off their horned and warted faces,
Pops."
Then Empath and Smurfette appeared
on the scene. "Oh, Papa Smurf, I haven't seen my friend Blue Eyes
appear yet."
"I can't say that I have smurfed
him either," Papa Smurf said. "But then I have never smurfed him
at all during the times that you have smurfed him."
"Who's Blue Eyes?" Empath asked.
"Oh, he's the name of an orange
winged horse that smurfed into our forest more than a dozen years
ago, Empath," Smurfette said. "He was my best friend, and his
mother smurfed me that I can summon him three times to appear
before me. Well, this is my third and final time, and I'm hoping
to smurf him at the wedding."
"There she smurfs again," Brainy
said just as he walked onto the scene. "Smurfette and her
imaginary horse friend. I thought that she would be a big enough
Smurf that she would smurf over such childish fantasies."
"Blue Eyes is not a fantasy,
Brainy Smurf!" Smurfette said. "He's very real, even if you can't
see him!"
"Empath! Smurfette! Brainy!" Wild
Smurf exclaimed.
"Well, look who decides to smurf
up after years of smurfing in the forest," Brainy said.
"It's so good to see you again,
Wild Smurf," Empath said. "What brings you here to our village?"
"I just had to smurf away from my
other family for a while," Wild Smurf said. "You know, Chitter's
got a litter of little squirrels now, and I have to smurf over
them when he and his mate are not around."
"So you're like an uncle?"
Smurfette said. "That's real smurfy of you."
"And you're going to be married to
Empath now?" Wild Smurf said. "I don't know what to say...except
that I wish that I could be the one marrying you."
"I know, Wild Smurf," Smurfette
said. "But your place has never been here with us."
"Papa Smurf wants me to smurf into
Pussywillow Hollow to smurf Hefty and the other Smurfs," Wild
Smurf said.
"Oh, that place is dangerous, Wild
Smurf," Smurfette said. "But I know you'll be able to smurf your
way through there."
"Well, here I am," Century
announced, "and this time I smurfed along Tracker, who can best
help us smurf our way through the hollow to find the Smurfs."
"Wild Smurf, my brother," Tracker
said as the both of them embraced each other. "It's so jolly good
to smurf you again!"
"I see that you're smurfing well
also, brother," Wild Smurf said. "We need to get smurfing into the
hollow."
"Right away," Tracker said. "Come
along, Glonk! Papa Smurf says that we need you."
"I hope that we can smurf again
when we return," Wild Smurf said to Empath and Smurfette just as
he, Century, Tracker, and Glonk head off into the forest.
Smurfette sighed as she watched
them leave. Then she heard the flutter of wings as something is
approaching.
"Hello there, Smurfette. I'm glad
to see you again after all these years," a familiar voice spoke.
Smurfette recognized the voice and
the sound of wing flutters. "Blue Eyes!" she exclaimed, giving the
horse a hug. "You're here!"
"This will be my last time
appearing unto you, Smurfette, but I'm glad to be here
nonetheless," Blue Eyes said.
Brainy just stared in shock at
what his eyes now beheld. "Empath, are you smurfing this? It's an
orange winged horse that smurfs!"
"This smurf shares the same
sentiments, Brainy," Empath said, also rather surprised. "How is
it that we can now see Smurfette's winged friend?"
"Oh, that," Blue Eyes said,
hearing Empath. "Well, you see, this is a very special occasion in
Smurfette's life, and somehow on very special occasions I don't
just appear visible unto Smurfette."
Papa Smurf also noticed Blue Eyes
appearing visible unto him for the first time. "That's just simply
amazing!"
"Come with me, Blue Eyes,"
Smurfette said. "I bet you must be hungry smurfing all the way
from your home. Maybe Greedy's got something he can smurf you."
"I would like to meet all your
fellow Smurfs, Smurfette, even if it's the only time they will
ever see me," Blue Eyes said.
"Well, of course," Smurfette said
as she walked away with Blue Eyes.
"I hope that we've arrived just in
time for the ceremony," a familiar voice spoke.
Papa Smurf, Empath, and Brainy
turned to see that it was Peewit, the court jester. He had somehow
grown bigger from the last time they have met.
"I remember when you were just a
little boy who smurfed into our forest 15 years ago when you
smurfed your hands on our magic flute and you smurfed for our help
in getting it back," Papa Smurf said.
"Yeah, and since then I still
don't know how to speak in Smurf," Peewit said. "But it's great to
smurf you all again"
"Here we are again, just like old
times," another voice spoke.
The Smurfs now saw who else also
came with Peewit. "Johan! Another face that I haven't smurfed in a
while!" Papa Smurf said.
"It's now Sir Johan," the noble
squire said. "I've just got my full commission as a knight from
the king, and it's official."
"It's been a few years, and I
still can't get used to calling my friend Sir Johan," Peewit said.
"I hear that there's going to be a
marriage in the Smurf Village," Sir Johan said. "Has Smurfette
finally found a Smurf among her fellows to be her future husband?"
"This smurf happens to be the
lucky Smurf that she has chosen, Sir Johan," Empath answered.
"Oh," Sir Johan and Peewit said
together, realizing who it was from their previous encounters with
him.
"I don't think there's any room
for you in the village, but you're welcome to smurf nearby for the
day of the wedding," Papa Smurf said.
"Oh boy," Peewit said, rubbing his
hands together and sounding eager. "I hope there's going to be
lots of food at the reception."
"As long as you're not going to
give Smurfette the present of your 'wonderful singing voice', my
friend," Sir Johan said.
"Why not?" Peewit said. "Everybody
knows how wonderful I sing!"
"Apparently, everybody knows all
too well, Peewit," Empath said, shaking his head in disapproval.
Meanwhile, back in the hollow, Duncan
McSmurf and his fellow Smurfs were ready to escort the Pussywillow
Pixies to the wedding reception.
"Now what exactly is a bridesmaid
supposed to be?" Lilac asked.
"As far as I know, lassie, she's
supposed to be a friend of the bride, who accompanies her and the
matron of honor to the altar where the escort presents the bride
to her future husband," Duncan said.
"Oh, that sounds so beautiful,"
Bramble said. "Me, Lilac, and Pansy are just the right ages to be
bridesmaids."
"And what about me?" Acorn asked.
"What do I get to be at the wedding?"
Duncan chuckled. "You, my pretty
little one, will most likely be the flower girl."
"That's not fair," Acorn said. "My
sisters get to be the bridesmaids and I just get to be a flower
girl."
"Now, now, my little Acorn, you
mustn't complain about your role in the wedding," Elderberry said.
"You're fortunate that your friends have even thought of including
us as part of it. At the very least, you should be grateful to
Smurfette and this Empath Smurf she's going to marry."
"Let's just head for the fog and
smurf out of here," Hefty said, eager to get this job finished.
"You're not going anywhere,"
Sludge, the leader of the Wartmonger hunters, said as he, Slop,
and Slime appeared from behind a rock.
"Yeah," Slop said, "you're not
going anywhere except to Toad Castle as our prisoners!"
"You'll have to get through us to
smurf your hands on the lassies," Duncan said as he and his
companions readied themselves for a fight.
"Prepare to fly, my little
pixies," Elderberry said as she and the other pixies now spread
their wings.
"You'll fly, all right...right
into our bubble guns," Slime said, as the three Wartmongers
prepare to use their weapons.
Then came the sound of a
Tarzan-like yell from behind the Wartmongers. They turned to see
that it was Wild Smurf, swinging from a vine right onto them.
"Come on, boys, let's smurf them,"
Duncan said, seeing how Wild Smurf has distracted the Wartmongers.
Then came the sound of a ferocious
animal, and with that sound came Glonk, appearing all fearsome and
scary.
"Uh-oh, I don't like the friends
that the Smurfs brought along," Slop said as the three of them
huddled together, afraid of Glonk.
"Quick, let's croak back to Toad
Castle before that thing croaks us," Sludge said, and then the
three Wartmongers ran for it.
"Oh dear, what is that scary
thing?" Elderberry said as she and the other Pussywillow Pixies
looked at Glonk.
"It's just a friend of a friend of
the Smurfs, my good ladies," Tracker said as he appeared. "We
smurfed back into the hollow to make sure that you're all right
and that our guests are still smurfing to the wedding."
"It's a good thing you smurfed in
for us when you did," Duncan said, also noticing Century
returning. "I've had enough of smurfing in this place."
"It's too bad I didn't get to lay
my smurfs on the Wartmongers, though," Tuffy said.
"Anyway, we're ready whenever you
are," Pansy said.
"I just hope I look beautiful
enough to be a bridesmaid," Lilac said.
"You smurf beautiful just the way
you are," Willpower said. "I'm just glad we smurfed through this
together."
