A Wedding To Remember/Part 7

It was getting close to noon, and as the Smurfs were gathering in Bluebell Dell dressed in their ties and tuxedos, making the final preparations so that everything would be perfect, several of the Smurfs noticed a giant fancy-looking musical machine with huge pipe organs and a note posted right next to it.

"Gosh, what's it say, Farmer?" Clumsy asked, curious to find out.

"It here says, 'Mother Nature has to see to the gull migration, so she sends this magical musical machine with her regrets'," Farmer read aloud.

"Ooooh...naturally, when she heard that we were smurfing the wedding of the century, she outsmurfed herself," Smurfette said as she looked at the musical machine and listened to it playing a soft organ tune while the preparations were wrapping up.

"Well, I think it's time that I smurfed a talk with the bridegroom," Brainy said. "I'm sure that he could smurf some words of encouragement from his...ahem, best Smurf."

"Best smurf," Duncan snorted. "I could only imagine who chose you for that role, if anyone actually did in your case."

"Do I detect a hint of jealousy in your voice, Duncan, that you couldn't be the best Smurf at this wedding?" Brainy said. "Woody himself has already decided that I should smurf that role, with just a little bit of counseling from me last night at the bachelor party."

"Aw, just let Brainy be smurfing his role as the best Smurf if he wants to, Duncan," Farmer said. "Whatever makes him feel like he's important around here, he should enjoy it while he can."

"Oh, very well, laddie," Duncan said as he watched Brainy enter the rabbit hole beneath a big tree where the bridegroom was waiting. "I've got to be on the lookout for whatever it is that may smurf this wedding anyway."

"Is there something wrong, Tapper?" Smurfette asked, as she noticed that her fellow Smurf has been staring at the musical machine looking rather puzzled.

"I just have a feeling in my spirit that something here isn't right, my dear Smurfette, like somebody besides the Almighty is watching us right now," Tapper said with some foreboding.

"I think that everybody here is smurfing a little nervous, Tapper," Smurfette said, trying to keep things positive. "I'm sure that when this is all over, we won't have anything to worry about and we'll see Woody and Laconia off to smurf on their honeymoon together."

But Tapper still kept staring at the musical machine, feeling uncertain that the sense of being watched by something was actually nothing to worry about.
