Empath And The Golden Magic Bird/Part 4

Sometime later, Smurfette and Sassette both came from the stadium, looking all tired out from the cheerleading they did during the football game.

"Lazy lemmings, Smurfette, I didn't think cheersmurfing would be so exhausting a job to do for our fellow Smurfs," Sassette said.

"I know, but it's worth our efforts, Sassette," Smurfette said. "The sooner we can smurf out of these uniforms and freshen ourselves and smurf on some clean clothes to greet the Smurfs at the Harvest Feast with, the better."

"I wonder what the other Smurflings have smurfed on this day with Tracker out in the forest," Sassette said.

"We'll find out when we meet them," Smurfette said. She and Sassette then passed by Feathers' stable and stopped when they saw the golden pheasant. "Oh, what a beautiful bird that is. I wonder where it came from."

"I've never seen a bird that has golden feathers before, Smurfette," Sassette said, also amazed at the sight. "Do you think this is some sort of special bird?"

"Maybe it is, Sassette, but we'll never know," Smurfette said.

"As a matter of fact, Smurfette, this happens to be a very rare Wishing Bird that Tracker and the Smurflings discovered out in the forest, Smurfette," Brainy said, overhearing the conversation between Smurfette and Sassette.

"A Wishing Bird?" Smurfette said, sounding curious. "You mean it can grant me whatever thing I wish for?"

"Uh, yeah, Smurfette," Clumsy replied. "You just smurf it some birdseed, make a wish, and it will smurf whatever it is you wish for."

"Oh, I wouldn't mind smurfing it a try," Smurfette said. "Mind if I smurf it some birdseed?"

"Oh no, just go right ahead, Smurfette," Brainy said.

Smurfette picked up a handful of birdseed and gave it to the Wishing Bird, who then ate it up and afterward spread out its tail feathers and began to sing.

"Musical mockingbirds, Smurfette, the Wishing Bird even sings to you," Sassette commented.

"Oooh, it sounds so beautiful," Smurfette said. "Well, what I could wish for is a new pair of shoes with diamond studded inlays."

"A new pair of shoes?" Sassette said. "But Smurfette, you already have plenty of pairs of shoes in your closet."

"I know, Sassette, but let's see if I can...," Smurfette began to say when she felt her feet tingle with the sensation of something changing, and then she looked down and saw that she was wearing heels that had diamond studded inlays.

"That's amazing, Smurfette," Sassette said, looking in awestruck wonder.

"Oh, these are beautiful, and they're just the right size, too!" Smurfette said, sounding very ecstatic. "I wonder if I can smurf some more wishes from the Wishing Bird."

"Papa Smurf left me in charge of the Wishing Bird, Smurfette, so only I can determine who would be allowed to smurf the Wishing Bird for any sort of wishes," Brainy said.

"Uh, yeah, what Brainy said," Clumsy seconded.

"Well, that figures," Smurfette said, sounding greatly disappointed. "I guess if I can't smurf anymore wishes with the bird now, at least could you allow Sassette to smurf whatever wish she wants to make?"

"Why not, Smurfette?" Brainy said. "What kind of thing could a little Smurf like her wish for, anyway?"

Sassette grabbed a handful of birdseed and fed it to the Wishing Bird. Again it spread out its tail feathers and sang a joyful song.

"Well, my wish may seem silly, but I would wish Empath would be here right now to smurf me how much he truly loves me," Sassette said.

"That's your wish?" Brainy said, sounding like the whole thing was ridiculous to him.

"That's a very nice fantasy, Sassette, but I would think that such a thing is...," Smurfette began to say.

Then suddenly Empath materialized out of nowhere and appeared right next to Sassette. "Oh, Sassette, you truly are the Smurfette of this smurf's dreams, even though we are years apart from each other," Empath said, kissing Sassette's forehead.

Smurfette looked at Empath with a bit of disgust. "Empath!" she snapped.

Empath looked briefly at Smurfette. "Oh, salutations, Smurfette," he said. "This smurf also thinks you're beautiful. But there's no female Smurf that I would rather smurf my life for than this ginger-haired young beauty."

Sassette began to feel like the whole thing came off as a bit too creepy for her. "Okay, is there a way that I could make a wish to unsmurf this wish?" she asked.

"Sorry, Sassette, but you and Smurfette already smurfed your wish for the day, so I would suggest you smurf on and let me and Clumsy be alone with our Wishing Bird," Brainy said.

"Well, you and Empath be smurfy with each other," Clumsy said as he watched the three Smurfs depart from the stable.

Smurfette looked at Sassette as if she had done the worst thing she could possibly do to her, while Sassette looked plenty embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Smurfette, I didn't expect the wish that I wished for to work this well," Sassette said.

"I think we're going to need Papa Smurf's help with unsmurfing this wish, Sassette," Smurfette said. "I just don't think that this whole thing with you and Empath smurfing together like this is even appropriate."

"Look, I know the two of us shouldn't smurf together like this because of our age differences and all," Sassette said. "I just can't help feeling jealous of you being with Empath because you're both adult Smurfs and I'm only a Smurfling."

"I know you mean well, Sassette," Smurfette said. "I could only wish you were an adult Smurf right now so that you could be the right age to smurf a relationship with Empath."

"I could only wish that myself, but I don't think that's ever going to...," Sassette began to say before she suddenly grew in size and appeared as an adult Smurf wearing a shirt and pink trousers. "Uh-oh, I think the Wishing Bird just granted me another wish."

"Someone must have fed the Wishing Bird again," Smurfette said. "Now we need to smurf something with that bird or Smurfs are just going to have whatever they wish smurf true whether they want it or not."
