Maybe it was a dream, or perhaps I was Gargamel seeing the Smurfs? Who knows, the thrilling part of my reality, which I feared might be a fairy tale, was about to begin.
I had nightmares all night, and Harley was acting hostile, locking me in a cage. It was so strange that it had imprinted on my subconscious; even though he was irrelevant, I saw him in my nightmares. I heard Merlin doing something in the kitchen and woke up. I went to wash my face. And of course, it could be called a true Casanova bath—black floor and walls with white furniture and details. By details, I mean a huge jacuzzi, a mirror decorated with LED lights, and a ceiling adorned with stars and the moon reminiscent of the night. I had almost fallen in love with the style, and at that moment, I felt a warm breeze around my neck, so I quickly turned around.
V: You scared me, Houdini.
M: You’re right, if I saw such a handsome and sexy man in the morning, I’d be impressed too.
V: Hahaha, you’re really funny, Merlin.
M: I liked Houdini, though.
I smiled and went inside.
V: We need to go upstairs, have breakfast with the others, and get ready. You know Alpha is very particular about this.
M: I know, but I’ve also prepared a special breakfast for us. shows the table
Alpha quickly opens the door and enters
A: Good morning, Violet. Did this magician kiddo do something to you? Are you alright?
M: Hahahahhahha laughs
V: Merlin, be quiet, or this time, no one will save you. grins
A: Will you both tell me what’s going on? What’s this fool laughing at?
M: No one did anything to Violet. On the contrary, she slept like a baby.
V: Really?
M: But Alvin must have definitely done something to you. Did you look in the mirror?
Alpha rushed to the bathroom, and meanwhile, we were going upstairs to the house.
Alpha: Aaaaaaaaaa No, it can't be! Alvin, I’ll feed you to the senators, you monkey!
V&M: Laughing
L: Good morning.
V: And to you, Luna.
M: Alvin, this time I won’t be able to save you, my friend. You got yourself into this.
A: Hey, calm down. After being tricked last night, while he was sleeping, I noticed your magical paints and wondered what the worst that could happen was, so I took the crayons and did some painting with the magician’s brushes. Did I do a good job?
V: Hahahah, I started the day very cheerfully thanks to you.
M: Are you looking for a hole to hide in, or is the rabbit hole just behind the house?
A: Enough chit-chat. Once you’re ready, call me. I’m hiding.
L: Don’t be too late, darling. Alpha will find you eventually.
Alpha: Thanks for the reminder, Luna. I was just thinking about that!
Alvin: It can’t be! turns into a wolf
Alvin suddenly transformed into a wolf right in front of me. It wasn’t the first time I had seen him like this, but I wasn’t used to seeing transformations. It was strange to me. Alvin ran from the house into the forest, and Alpha immediately turned into a wolf and chased him.
L: Are you kids going to get ready, or are you just going to watch these two?
V: You’re right, Luna. I’m coming.
M: You go on, I’ll get my potions.
Luna and I went upstairs and started gathering our things. During a moment of silence, Luna asked me something.
L: Hey Violet, how did your night go?
V: Actually, at first, it was romantic and good, but the bad part was not being able to sleep. I had nightmares, Luna.
L: Oh, darling, you must have been scared. What kind of nightmare was it? Do you remember?
V: The worst part is, I never forget any of my nightmares, Luna. I remember every detail as if I lived in a parallel universe. It was terrifying.
L: What happened? Do you want to talk about it?
V: It was Harley. He locked me in a cage, and Merlin was chained in front of me. I was calling out to you and Alvin, but he had trapped you in a paradox, reliving the same moment over and over. And Alpha, the worst part was, he had put him in a fiery capsule, burning his own brother alive. I woke up very scared.
L: Oh V, my dear, it was just a very bad nightmare. Harley might be a bit crazy, but he can’t harm us. Alpha has him imprisoned in such a place that it’s impossible to pass the guard.
M: Is that so?
V: Why do you say that?
L: Because he must have tried hundreds of times with a dismissive look
M: On the contrary, Luna, I haven’t seen him since that day, and I didn’t want to see him. But Alvin trusted me and knows the truth.
L: Don’t bring this up in front of Violet, Merlin.
M: She will want to know when we get there anyway.
V: Why would I want to know?
M: Harley is a nine-tailed demon, V. Before his brother locked him up, he sealed the lock in a way that only I could unlock it. Harley is a manipulative being.
V: So Alpha needs you in any case. Has he not seen his sister all this time?
L: No one can see him unless he wants to, including Alpha.
M: Just trust me and know this, V. I don’t love Harley. I have no feelings for him. Yes, we have a past, but that was a long time ago.
V: I trust you, Merlin.
Alvin entered the house breathless with big, yellow mustaches. We all looked at Alpha and him, laughing.
Alpha: Well, if you’re ready, we can go.
V: How am I supposed to take you seriously after this? laughs
M: I guess you’re even now?
Alpha: If you don’t stop, it’ll be your turn.
L: Enough bickering, let’s go.
And we all set off. For hours, no one spoke a word until;
Al: Kids, I need to tell you something with a tense tone
Alpha: What happened now?
M: His face is red.
V: He might have diarrhea.
L: Stop joking.
Alpha: Stop rambling, Alvin, you’d better say it now, or I’ll throw you out the window!
Al: I need to pee!! with a tearful tone
Alpha slammed on the brakes, and silence ensued. Merlin was the first to break the silence, laughing loudly. Alpha sighed, grabbed a water bottle by the door, and went outside. He opened Alvin’s door and helped him out. Alvin was looking at a bottle, then at Alpha, while Luna, I, and Merlin were laughing so hard that I almost had to pee too.
Al: Should I sit on it?
Alpha: Do it before you burst your bladder!
Al: Where, in the forest? I can’t go alone, come with me. with a childish tone
Alpha: This must be a joke; I’m going crazy.
M: Need any help? Want me to hold your hand? laughs
Al: with a puppy dog look and looking at Merlin Please.
Alpha rolled his eyes and took Alvin by the arm, leading him into the forest. Almost half an hour later, Alvin came back to the car happily, while Alpha followed him with a stern expression. Everyone got in the car, and;
Alpha: No one else is allowed to take a pee break during the drive. This is the last one!!
We all got out of the car at once and went into the forest. After about fifteen minutes, we returned to the car. Alpha sighed and;
Alpha: If everyone is done peeing...
Alpha’s face scrunched up before he could finish his sentence. He got out of the car and went into the forest. About half an hour later, he came back, sighed once more, started the car, and they continued on their way. Meanwhile, Merlin, very bored, wanted to turn on the radio. He glanced at the radio and whispered, “Aperio.” The radio turned on, and music started playing. Merlin turned to me.
M: You weren’t expecting “Vingardium Leviosa” from Houdini, were you?
Alpha: The correct word is “Leviosa,” not “Laviosaaah.”
V: We’re having fun, Alpha.
L: Can someone please change this song? Barbie Girl is playing
A: Of course, Mi Amour.
Alvin changed the song, and since none of us liked the new song, Merlin intervened and changed it again. This led to Alvin reaching for the radio to change it, and Merlin and Alvin kept changing and stopping the radio. Finally, Alpha punched the radio and;
Alpha: No one will listen to music.
He said in a serious tone, and Luna and I looked at each other, struggling not to laugh. After a short silence, Merlin pulled out his phone, played a song, and said to the phone, “Vox Crescens,” and the song started playing loudly. Alpha turned red and;
Alpha: Damn it!
He said in a serious tone, and Luna and I looked at each other, struggling not to laugh. After a brief silence, Merlin took out his phone, played a song, and said "Vox Crescens" to the phone, causing the song to play loudly. Alpha turned red and said:
Alpha: Damn it!
He shouted in a funny way, and we continued our journey, listening to music. Eventually, we entered a mountain road and stopped at a path lined with tall trees. Alpha parked the car and covered it with a blanket. He asked us to follow him as he walked ahead. We eventually arrived at a barrier-like structure that seemed like a transparent shield; it looked like we were really entering the Smurfs' domain.
V: Are we going to see the Smurfs? Yay!
M: I doubt it with a tense tone
I wasn’t fond of this tone at all, and finally, we went through the barrier. What we entered felt like a completely different universe; baby foxes, baby birds, and many other baby animals were wandering around. It was fascinating. At the center, there was someone sitting alone at a large table.
V: Hey, I think there’s someone there.
L: That’s Kasparov.
Al: This will be a very exciting match.
V: What match?
Alpha: A chess match, V.
We walked up to Kasparov. Alpha touched his shoulder and said:
Alpha: Hello, old friend.
K: Hello, boss.
M: Hello.
K: I see you’ve brought my opponent.
Alpha: It will be a tight match.
Merlin took his place across from Kasparov, and the table itself shifted, revealing a chessboard. Living chess pieces were arranged, and both of them simultaneously said: "With my soul and body united, this will be a fair match. I swear on all Gryffins, I accept the match."
