Another Egg-Citing Day/Part 4

- Empath laughed. "This smurf can understand why you would feel so uncomfortable talking about that part of the story, Tapper. Being transformed into the opposite sex without your consent is something that this smurf would consider a violation."

"This one would agree with that opinion, Empath," Polaris said. "Although this one would not fully understand why the Psyche Master would create Psyches as male and female if we were not designated to be intimate with each other, this one would not want to have a gender reassignment forced upon this one."

"Aye, but you've got to feel sorry for those who feel that they've been smurfed as the wrong sex," Duncan said. "However, I'm afraid that I am at a bit of a loss for how to smurf with those type of people."

"The Almighty still cares for them, my fellow Duncan, no matter how hard it may be for them to smurf up to what gender they are born with," Tapper said.

"Okay, so we're now at the part where you two are with Papa Smurf and Smurfette looking for the magic egg, unaware that it's now fallen into the hands of Gargamel," Empath said, trying to get their focus back on the story.

"Aye, indeed, my fellow Empath," Tapper said. "But we did smurf into the three Papa Smurf impersonators who were running away from Bigmouth when he smurfed the magic egg from them."

And soon Empath and Polaris saw that Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Tapper, and Duncan saw the three impersonators running straight towards them. "Oh, hi, Papa Smurf," the one that sounded like Poet said as the three of them stopped running.

"Uh...hi, Papa Smurf," the one that sounded like Brainy said nervously.

"Smurfy day today, isn't it, Papa Smurf?" the one that sounded like Handy said, trying to sound like the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

Papa Smurf then sprinkled the counter-formula on the three impersonators, restoring their original appearances. "Now where is that magic egg?" Papa Smurf demanded.

"Uh...we were smurfing it into the forest when Bigmouth showed up and smurfed it from us," Brainy explained.

"Bigmouth? Oh, that's terrible!" Smurfette said.

"Not as terrible as you'd think, lassie," Duncan said. "I doubt that that behemoth would be smart enough to know that it's a magic egg."

"But if that magic egg smurfed from Gargamel, then it's certain that he will find it again, my fellow Smurfs," Tapper said.

"Then we must find the egg before Gargamel does, my little Smurfs," Papa Smurf said.

"Come on...we'll smurf you," Handy said, as he, Brainy, and Poet led the four other Smurfs. - Meanwhile, Gargamel had soon recovered and was back on his feet with the magic egg. "Azrael...my magic egg, at long last!" he said joyfully as he picked up the egg from where it had landed. "Now I can polish off those revolting little Smurfs once and for all. Hmmm, the possibilities are so endless, I don't even know where to begin. What shall we start with first...how about two Smurfs on a platter?" He laughed along with his cat at the thought of making that his first wish. "Magic egg, bring me two Smurfs on a silver platter."

He tapped on the egg, and suddenly he got his wish...but there was something wrong with what was delivered on the platter that materialized in his hand. "What's this?" Gargamel said as he looked at Vanity and Lazy who had both appeared on the platter. "I ordered Smurfs, not these scrawny...yucks!"

"Who's the scrawny?" Lazy asked.

"Who's the yuck?" Vanity asked.

Gargamel tossed the platter and the two Smurfs away. "Let's try again, shall we?" He turned his attention again to the magic egg in his hand. "Magic egg, fetch me a nice plump...no, no, no, make that the biggest plumpest Smurf of them all," he said laughing while he tapped on the egg.

Suddenly Clumsy materialized right in front of Gargamel, still the same size as he was when the three Papa Smurf impersonators transformed him. "Uh, will some Smurf tell me what's going on?" he asked, still sounding confused.

Gargamel saw how big that Smurf was, which was about twice his own height, and was immediately frightened. "YEOW! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" he screamed as he and Azrael made a run for it, dropping the magic egg in the process.

Soon Papa Smurf and the other six Smurfs arrived at the same location. "Gee, hi, Papa Smurf. I sure wish...," Clumsy began to say.

"Don't smurf a word, Clumsy!" Papa Smurf ordered, interrupting Clumsy before he said anything more. He then turned to the magic egg and said, "Magic egg, I want everything to be like it was before." He tapped on the magic egg, and suddenly Clumsy was restored to his original size.

Clumsy looked at himself and smiled. "Well, I wasn't going to wish for anything, but I'm glad to be back to how I was before."

"I don't think that the village would be big enough to handle a bigger you, laddie," Duncan said.

"And now, after all that I've smurfed today, there's just one more magic wish to make," Papa Smurf said to his little Smurfs.

"Oh boy, another magic wish," Brainy said, sounding excited with anticipation.

"Because you have all been selfish and silly and un-Smurflike with your wishes, I wish for this magic egg to be gone forever, never to be smurfed again," Papa Smurf said before he tapped on the egg, and then suddenly the egg disappeared.

"Well, so much for smurfing our fondest wishes with it," Handy groaned.

"Yeah, but the whole thing was fun while it lasted, though," Poet said.

"I'm just glad that that magic egg is gone, and that we won't be bothered by it anymore," Tapper said with a smile.

"Aye, and may it smurf gone for good," Duncan said in agreement.
