** ﻿ Everyone has heard the tale of ﻿Snow White, but who has ever heard the true story? The true story, not clouded by mortal ignorance. The tale that spans back across the ages, delving into a time long forgetten by mankind. **  **The story started on a snowy night, when the king and queen's first daughter was born. Her delicate structure was matched with lovely fair skin. As the snow fell from the heavens, the king pondered as to what to name the child,"How about Crystal Fall?" the king inquired. **  **"No, tis an ill-fitting name." the queen answered. **  **"Of course, my queen," the king said,"How about Ice Flower?" **  **"Where on Earth did you pull Flower out of?" the queen asked, obviously confused. **  **"Why, out of the ground, of course!" the king mocked. **  **"You insignificant fool! Thout have no more wit about ye than a pigeon!" the queen exclaimed, blistering with rage. "Come up with an appropriate name, like Snow White!" **  **"I think Agitha Misery is a much better name." the king said **  **"We're going with Snow White." **  **The king let out an exasperated sigh,"Yes, dear." **   **And so the new princess was named Snow White. It was quickly evident that she was the most beautiful girl among the land, and this only became more obvious as time went on. All of the young suitors in the land longed for her hand in holy matrimony, but she was quite content with her simple life. **  **One day the princess went for a stroll through the forest. She frolicked with the forest animals, simply wasting away the day. Finally, as dusk came, she returned home. **  **Yet, something was wrong. Her father seemed less worried than usual that she had been gone all day. Somehow he seemed more... distant from her mother, the queen. Still he insisted that he was fine, so Snow White pushed it from her mind. **  **So, the next day, she went to the forest again. She walked, quietly ﻿singing to herself. Suddenly, a voice piped up, "That was beautiful." Snow White quickly looked around, trying to find who had spoken, but she saw no one. So she decided it must have been no more than her imagination, and continued on her way, still singing. **  **Again, though, a voice spoke up, saying, "You're really good at singing." No sooner had the voice spoke, another bellowed, "I'VE FOUND YOU!" Snow White fell to the ground as a mighty huntsman leaped from a shrubbery. He quickly scanned the area, as if looking for something. Then he saw Snow White, and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. **  **Snow White was scared at this man, who had so suddenly emerged, and ran off screaming. He tried yelling something, but the words were lost in the wind. Snow White ran and ran, too scared to check if he had followed her. Finally, she came to a stop in a clearing. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She looked up, and saw the most peculiar house, one shaped like a mushroom. Still, she was tired from her flight, and so she went inside. **   **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The house was expertly covered in a coat of simple blue paint and plush moss carpeting. It was decorated with chairs wittled from old tree stumps and a menagerie of painted pictures depicting far off and mystical landscapes.The house also contained a small cupboard filled to the brim with acorn cap cups and small plates made of sanded tree bark. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As she was admiring the workmanship of this small house, an imposing voice said,"How did you get in my house?". Snow White assumed that the voice was that of the strange huntsman, she locked up and slowly turned around. However, there was nobody in front of her. Snow White uttered a meek hello, hoping no one would answer back. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For a moment, the house was silent, spare the sound of a leak in the roof. Right when she was about to relax herself, she heard a loud din outside. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She peeked out of the doorway to see a small cluster of blue outside. "I don't remeber these flowers being here." Snow White said to herself. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Who are you calling a flower, ya pansy!" A gruff voice answered. She gave a shrill shriek and jumped back. While doing so, she stumbled and landed abruptly on a small cofee table made from a log. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"First, you break into our house and then you crush our furniture with your bum? What kinda lady are you!?" the voice shouted, obviously enraged. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I'm sorry!" Snow White squealed, "I didn't mean to make you see red." **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A suprised voice answered,"See red? See red! The only thing we ever see is blue, right fellas?". This was followed by multiple agreements. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The cluster of blue began approaching her. "I did not mean to trespass," Snow White said," I'm sorry." **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before the angry voice could reply, a kinder, gentler voice spoke up," It's quite all right. You meant no harm. Pleased to meet you. My name is Happy, the compassionate smurf." After this, a small blue being walked away from the group towards her. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"And these," the figure said, motioning to the cluster,"are my friends: Grumpy, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Dopey." The Smurfs all gave a friendly wave, except for Grumpy who turned away with a grunt, and Bashful, who quickly hid his face from view. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Your welcome to stay if your lost." Happy offered. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Well," Snow White thought aloud," It couldn't hurt to stay a bit longer." **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And so, Snow White stayed for dinner with the smurfs, who were elated. **   **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Meanwhile, back at the castle, the king was not happy...not happy at all. He wasn't angry about Snow White's disappearance. He was, instead, furious that the hunter had lost the smurf. For the king﻿ was not really the king. He was, in fact, the evil wizard Gargamel in disguise, who had kidnapped the real king to further his plans of capturing the smurfs. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He turned towards the mirror that was hanging up nearby and said. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, show me where the smurfs are." **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mirror promptly responded, "I'm sorry, all requests must be asked in the form of a rhyme." **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Oh, for the love of!" Gargamel shouted. "Umm, mirror, mirror, on the wall, show me where the smurfs, asleep, umm... Azrael, what's the word I'm looking for?" **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Meow,"﻿ his cat replied. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Fall, that's it!" Gargamel exclaimed. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The magical mirror shimmered, an image starting to come into focus. "Yeess, Yeeesss," Gargamel said, excited. Finally, the picture came into focus, revealing...a mushroom house. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"What is this!?" Gargamel screamed."I know what kind of house they live in, I want to know where it is!" **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Suddenly, Azrael interrupted his ranting, pointing at the mirror. "Meow,"﻿ he said. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"What do you mean something's happening?" Gargamel asked. He stared at the mirror, as a young girl entered the the picture, framed by one of the house's windows. "That's the king's daughter!" he yelled. Suddenly, an idea formed in his head. "If I can find her," he mused to himself, "then I can find the smurfs! Azrael, to my ****<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">﻿ lair!" **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He flew from the room, Azrael in tow, and ran to the top of the North Tower, where he had hidden his secret lair. As he entered, he heard a muffled cry, and he turned to its source, the real king, whom he had imprisoned and gagged. He silenced him with a quick bit of magic, then continued towards his work table. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Now, then," he muttered to himself, "if I could just devise a way to track that foolish little girl..." **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Meow" Azrael said, again helping his master. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Of course!" Gargamel thought, and then he set about to his work. **  **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After dinner, the smurfs invited Snow White to go prance in the flowers."I don't know," she said,"It is late and I should get home to my father. He's probably worried sick." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Well, as soon as you can find your way out of the woods, you're welcome to leave." Doc replied. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"That's easy!" Snow White exclaimed,"All I need to do is go... uhhh... that way? maybe?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"You could just come with us to the flowers." Sleepy suggested with a yawn, "Although, Sneezy can't go because of his horiffic allergies." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Well," she began,"I suppose it couldn't hurt to have a bit of fun" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Six out of seven smurfs gave a mighty hooray, while Grumpy paid no mind to the fact Snow White was staying. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And so, the smurfs went and danced among the flowers for hours until it was nearly pitch black. As the newly found friends walked back to the house, a low and menacing growl sounded from a nearby bush. The Smurfs suddenly stopped and turned around slowly. "Did you hear that?" Doc asked. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Could it be a bear?" Snow White asked, nervously shaking. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"No, it's much worse than a measly bear." Doc replied. No sooner had he finished when a ferocious cat jumped out of the bush. The Smurfs simultaneously shouted,"It's Azrael!!!" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While the Smurfs were panicking and running towards the house, Snow White gave a squeal,"A kitty!!!" She quickly ran and gave the cat a crushing embrace."Whose a good kitty-witty!!!" She cooed affectionatley. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Azrael struggled, but all of it was in vain, for he was just a scrawny cat. She kept snuggling the poor creature, talking in a degrading kitty voice. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Suddenly, Doc stopped running and said,"What kind of men are we!? We left poor Snow White to fend for herself against that horrifying behemoth!" with a triumphant shout, he commanded,"We must go and help her!" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The smurfs stopped and thought for a moment, most thinking they were charging straight to their own death. Finally, they decided to turn back and "save" Snow White. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When they returned, however, Snow White had nearly crushed the life out of their nemesis with her lovey-dovey stranglehold. "Hello, friends!" Snow White shouted,"Want to pet the pussy cat?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Quick Snow! Let him go!" Happy shouted,"That cat will gobble you up and use your carcass as a bed!" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Nah, he just wants to snuggley-buggley with me." Snow White said affectionatley. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, Grumpy muttered under his breath,"What the heck is wrong with that chick?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Come now. We should get back to the house." Doc suggested. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Snow White gave a giggle and said,"Okay!" She dropped Azrael with a large thud. He immediatley started panting to catch his breath, and dragged himself back into the shrubbery to cry himself to sleep. **
 * Snow White﻿﻿ and the Seven ﻿Smurfs **

**<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back at the castle, Gargamel was fuming over Azrael's failure. "That stupid, ignorant girl has ruined my plans! What to do now..." he pondered. Suddenly, he was struck by a flash of inspiration. "If the Azrael Super Sniffer 2000 potion (available at your local PetSmart) failed because of the girl, I'll just use the girl herself to capture the smurfs!" he exclaimed. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Again he dashed to his evil lair, again he silenced the hostage king, and again he went to his work table. This time, though, he didn't make a potion, didn't chant any spells. Instead, he simply baked a cake. A nice, delicious-looking, blue cake, made from the ripest smurf-berries around, with just a drop of anti-smurf poison. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He removed the cake from the oven, gently setting it back down on the table. Then he dashed back to the King's chambers, to consult the mirror once more. However, this time, before making a request, he took ait off of the wall and placed on the floor. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Mirror, mirror, on the ground," he called, "show me where Snow White may be found." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The image changed, showing a map of the kingdom. It had a mini-castle on it, and, more importantly, a mini-mushroom. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Good," Gargamel muttered. "Ah, but I forget!" Garmgel continued, "She knows this face as her father. That won't do at all, now will it?" Upon saying so, Gargamel transformed back into his true form. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Where a moment again had stood a king, there was someone else entirely. Gargamel looked small, due to his hunched back, and his years of chasing the smurfs had altered his appearance drastically. His hair was now long, past his shoulders, and his face had a decent collection of warts and moles. Due to all this, he appeared as if an ugly witch, instead of an evil wizard. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yet evil he was, and, after checking the map on the mirror, he grabbed his poison smurf-berry cake an set off. It wasn't long until he came upon the mushroom-house. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He walked past the sleeping Azrael, right up to front door. He knocked on the front door, knowing that, at this time, the smurfs would be out collecting smurf-berries. Within seconds, Snow White answered the door. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Hello, m'am," she said. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Whaaa..." Gargamel said. Then, he started talking with a fake, high-pitched, squeaky voice. "Why, hello there, sweety! I must say, it seems quite odd that such a pretty young lady would live way out here by herself. You must be quite brave." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Snow White responded, "Oh, no. I got lost in the woods, and the good people who live here have let me stay." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Is that so?" Gargamel continued. "Well, then, why don't you take this cake and give it to them, to show them your appreciation?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Oh, thank you! I'm sure that they'll love it," Snow White said, taking the cake. With that, Gargamel left, sure he had finally succeeded. **

**<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Oh my!" Snow White exclaimed,"This cake sure does look delectable... wait! This isn't for me. It's for my new friends." She said firmly. "But..." She began,"I am kind of hungry...NO!" She shouted at herself," I shall wait for my friends to return." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For hours, Snow White argued with herself, trying to avoid temptation by reading books and doing housework. Finally, she cracked. With a mighty bellow, she engulfed the cake in a matter of minutes. When she finished, she gave a huge belch and collapsed. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gargamel was heading back to the castle then. He suddenly pulled out his purse-sized magic mirrior and thought,"Where on Earth do I keep this thing? Ah, no matter." He began to chant, "Mirror, mirror in my hand, did everything go as planned?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mirror answered,"No. The girl, as hungry as she was, ate the cake, just because." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Curses! Wait, when did you start rhyming?" Gargamel inquired. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I'm sorry, all requests must be asked in the form of a rhyme," the mirror retorted. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Blast it!!!" Gargamel cursed to the heavens. "Fine. Wait. Mirror, mirror, in my hand, what shall happen to the fairest in the land?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mirror pondered, and replied,"Heck if I know. That poison will react differently to Snow." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Well, I didn't give it to Snow. I gave it to Snow W- OHHHHHH. That's what you meant." Gargamell said. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back at the house, the smurfs were returning to home from collecting smurf-berries. They walked in, and Snow White was no where to be found. "What could have happened to her?" Bashful asked. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Bashful! You talked!" Doc exclaimed, "But where could that girl have gotten to?" ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Grumpy gave a gruff laugh and said,"Maybe, her little 'kitty-witty' ate her." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"That is totally uncalled for." Sleepy said with a yawn. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Hello?" A voice said. ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Did you hear that, fellas?" Doc said,"Somebody's in our house." ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Suddenly, a small and stunnuing blue figure emerged from behind a stump. "Wow. Everything seems so much bigger," She said. "Oh! Your back." ** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Who the heck are you?" Doc asked.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**Before she could answer, Grumpy rushed to her side and said,"Who cares who she is! She's hot!"** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Come now Grumpy. That is no way to behave around the company of a woman."Sneezy said.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"You didn't seem to care so much when that little princess was around." Grumpy retorted.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"That's what I've been trying to tell you!" The small blue lady shouted. "It's me! Snow White!"** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Oh. Bummer." Grumpy said as he walked away.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"How did this happen?" Happy asked.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Well, I ate this ca- I mean, a crazy, old, wierd person did this to me," she accused.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Crazy?" Happy said.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Old?" Doc said** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Wierd?" Grumpy said.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"There's only one human that fits that description..." Doc began.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Charlie Sheen!!!" Happy shouted exuberantly.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"No you oaf!" Doc yelled. "It's Gargamel!"** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"I say," Grumpy stated,"we get revenge."** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**""Hmmm...that's not very nice," Happy said.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"We're smurfs, you fool! We may be happy on the outside but on the inside, we are full of hatred and contempt!" Grumpy hollared.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"He's right...at least about the revenge," Doc announced. "Here's the plan..."**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**So, having their plan, the smurfs and Snow White set off towards the castle, where Gargamel was trying to devise a new plan. They quickly snuck into the King's chambers, where they found the mirror on the ground.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"Mirror, mirror, on the ground," Doc said, "Curse Gargamel with eternally singing Smurf sound!"** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**The mirror shimmered, then replied, "Your wish has been granted."** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**The group then rushed to the tower where Gargamel's lair was, and quietly entered the room. As they entered, they heard noise. The first, they noticed, was the king, trying to speak through his gag. The second, they found (to Grumpy's immense pleasure), was Gargamel, screaming from the mirror's curse.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**As Snow White untied her father, the smurfs went over towards Gargamel and joined in on the song they knew he was hearing in his head.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**"La, la, lalalala, sing a happy song!" they sang.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**Gargamel turned around and saw them, but it was too late. The king had been untied, and he wasn't happy. He charged Gargamel, who nimbly dodged before fleeing down the stairs. The king raced after him, intent on throwing the villain into the dungeons. Snow White and the smurfs gave chase, so that they could see how their plan turned out.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**The very earth shook that day, as every able man in the kingdom rode off after the cretin who had dared harm their king. They had been unable to catch him, but had chased him far away from their kingdom. They say you can still hear his screams, as if he's trying to cover up the song with his own crazed cries.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**The smurfs and Snow White, however, had better luck. Snow White told her parents, the king and queen, about her own magic curse, an asked if she could simply stay with the smurfs, They agreed, and Snow White returned to the mushroom house with the smurfs. Eventually, she even started going by the name 'Smurfette.'** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**And They All Lived Happily Ever After (Except for Gargamel)** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">**By Joseph LoPreto and Eric Keener﻿**
