The Smurf Impersonators/Part 9

"So even at this event, Tapper was sensing danger in his spirit that would envelop his fellow Smurfs," Polaris said. "It is amazing that for one who does not possess a minds-eye like Empath or the Psyches, he is still able to ascertain things that no other Smurf was able to do at the time."

"It amazes me as well, Tapper," Narrator said. "Anyway, the Mr. Smurf Contest got underway and we focused all our attention on who's going to be the lucky winner."

And as Narrator's story continued, Polaris saw in his mind Papa Smurf being the last to sit down with his little Smurfs to watch as Snappy with his drum kit sounded out a drum roll to signal the beginning of the event.

"Smurfette and gentlesmurfs, live from Smurf Village, it's the first Mr. Smurf Contest," Sassette announced as she appeared on stage. "Here I present to you the contestants that will smurf before you their wonderful talents so that Smurfette will decide which will be the Smurf who will win the honor of being her escort to the Harvest Moon Ball."

And after Sassette moved to the side of the stage, the curtains opened, and on the stage there were eleven Smurfs standing in a row, each wearing a purple sash with a round brass pin: Handy, Greedy, Vanity, Clumsy, Jokey, Duncan, Grouchy, Farmer, Gargamel as Beaker, Hefty, and Brainy.

As the Smurfs in the crowd cheered, Hefty said, "What a Smurf has to go through in order to smurf a date with Smurfette."

"Aye, but it will be worth all the effort, laddie," Duncan said, overhearing Hefty's comment.

"Introducing contestant number one...Mr. Greedy Smurf," Sassette announced. As Greedy walked on the stage to present himself before Smurfette, Sassette continued: "Greedy's hobbies are baking, frying, boiling, roasting..."

"And eating," Greedy added, as he pulled out a few cookies from behind his sash and started eating them. He then took a bow as Smurfette took notes and the crowd cheered, only to cause a few cupcakes to fall out.

"Next, we have Mr. Vanity Smurf," Sassette announced as Greedy picked up the cupcakes before leaving the stage and Vanity started to walk on it, holding a mirror in each hand and turning his head to admire himself in each one. "Vanity's hobbies are looking at himself in the morning, looking at himself in the evening, and looking at himself in the afternoon."

After the crowd cheered and Vanity left the stage with a bow, Sassette announced the next contestant. "Next we have Mr. Jokey Smurf. He enjoys spreading happiness to all his fellow Smurfs. We've all nearly died laughing from his thoughtful presents he has given us."

As Jokey walked around the stage to present himself before Smurfette, he then presented the gift box that he was carrying to Smurfette. "For you, Smurfette," Jokey said.

"Violation! Violation!" Brainy cried out as he came out on the stage to interrupt Jokey. "Contestants may not bribe the judge."

"Okay, then you open it," Jokey said, presenting the gift to Brainy instead.

Brainy opened the gift box, expecting an explosion, but instead getting a mechanical hand that popped out and splatted him in the face with a cream pie.

"Our next contestant is Mr. Brainy Smurf," Sassette announced.

Brainy gulped. "Oh no...there smurfs my grand entrance," he said woefully. Yet the crowd still cheered.
