Author's note: As promised my smurfs parody 'All Tangled Up'.

Ashlynn: Yupp, staring... *points to herself* ...your's truly!

Aralyn: Yes, in a smurfs parody of my favorite disney princess movie, Tangled. I do not own the plot, scrip, or characters of either Tangled or Smurfs, but they are in this story anyway. BTW the intro is slightly altered cuz your guys are reading it not watching the movie, so I made it more story like to make more sense.

Ashlynn: Ok, enough chit chat, onto the story!

Aralyn: Alrighty then. *clears throat and opens storybook*

Ashlynn: *sits criss cross applesauce and watches Aralyn with a goofy grin on her face and eyes open wide*

Aralyn: *rolls eyesand begins reading* Once upon a time...

All Tangled Up

The capital's market place was quite busy today, buying and selling, neighbors chatting, soldiers on patrol, everyone was going about their daily lives, except for one young man, who was sitting on the edge of a fountain.

Children had gathered around the young man, who had just promised them a story, clearing his throat he began, "This is the story of how I died…"

The children's eyes grew wide in astonishment and worry, noticing their reaction the young man quickly recovered, "Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is it isn't even mine. This story is about a girl named Ashlynn, and it starts with the sun.

Once upon a time a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens. And from this small drop of sun grew a magical golden flower that had the ability to heal the sick and injured…

Well centuries passed, and a hop skip and a boat ride away, there grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved king and queen, who had ruled for so long, yet in their advancing age they had no children.

Then one day, to the kingdom's joy, it was proclaimed that the queen was going to have a baby. But then she got sick, really sick.

The Good King sent out word that she was running out of time. And that's when people, all over the kingdom, started to look for a miracle, or in this case a magical golden flower.

Now only one person, a mysterious old lady, knew exactly where this magical flower was hidden. But instead of sharing the sun's gift, this woman, Mother Hogatha, hoarded its healing power and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years.

And all she had to do was sing a special song.

But the flower did not stay hidden forever, by mistake Mother Hogatha left its hiding place uncovered, and the golden flower was found by a group of royal guards.

The flower was uprooted and taken away as Mother Hogatha watched, furious and bent on regaining her lost magic flower.

The magic of the golden flower healed the queen and a healthy baby girl, a princess was born, with beautiful golden hair that shone like the rays of the shining sun.

I'll give you a hint, that's Ashlynn.

The Good King and Queen were so overjoyed, that to celebrate her birth they launched a flying lantern into the sky. And for that one moment everything was perfect.

But when nightfall came, that moment ended.

Mother Hogatha snuck into the palace while the King and Queen slept. She tip toed over to where the little princess was sleeping and began to sing softly.

The magic from the golden flower lived on in Ashlynn's hair, and as Mother Hogatha sang the infant's hair began to glow. Reaching down Hogatha took a lock of hair in her pudgy fingers and cut it off with a pair of scissors.

But once the hair was cut it stopped glowing, instead it turned a dark dirty blonde and lost its power. Becoming desperate as the power of the golden flower drained the youth back from her, Hogatha stole the child and before the King and Queen knew what had happened, she was gone.

Everyone in the kingdom searched and searched, but they could not find the princess. For deep in the forest, in a hidden tower, Hogatha raised the child as her own.

Hogatha had found her new magic flower and she was determined to keep this one hidden. Keeping the girl locked up she told Ashlynn that the outside world was dangerous, full of people who would only use her for her power.

Still, even though Hogatha kept Ashlynn in that tower, the walls of the tower itself could not hide everything. For each year on her birthday the King and Queen released thousands of lanterns into the night sky.

Every year Ashlynn would wait until Mother Hogatha was asleep, then she would sneak down to the tower's main window. Opening the shutters she would watch the mysterious lights float through the night sky, wondering what they were and what they were for.

And every year the King and Queen never gave up hope, that one day their lost princess would return…"

Aralyn: Ok, that's enough for tonight. *closes book*

Ashlynn: Aww, but I want to hear some more. *pouts*

Aralyn: Later, anyway we have introduced some new casting, Ashlynn playing the part of Rupuzel.

Ashlynn: The Good King playing the part of the King, and, as determined by the poll Aralyn had posted, Mother Nature playing the part of the Queen.

Aralyn: And impossible to miss, the part of Mother Gothel played by Hogatha. Casting for the rest will be introduced as they appear in the story, just to keep you guessing until then. But to be honest I think you all who have read my Medieval and Modern Times already know who the young man that was telling the story was, right Ashlynn?

Ashlynn: *blush* No comment.

Aralyn: *snickers* Until next time, this is me and Ash, signing off and wishing all of yall a smurfy weekend and a wonderful fourth of July! Have fun!
