The Prince and The Hopper

<tabber>Smorfette's Fanfiction=
== The Prince and The Pooper ==
The Prince and The Hopper is the 9th episode in season 6 of The Smurfs Show. (Apparently)
The A plot follows a prince named Theodore, who has been turned into a frog, attempting to become human again. The B plot follows Poet trying to write a book, if that counts as a B plot.
== Summary ==
The episode begins with Theodore's royal guard crashing through the forest. Emperor Zurg orders the men to capture each and every frog, claiming one of them has been possessed by a demon. As everyone knows possessed frogs are very dangerous. They may hop towards you, how fearsome.
The story then shifts to Woman Smorf, who has tricked the smorflings into picking daisies for her. Sassette then spots a frog hiding in the undergrowth, and pursues the terrified creature because she can. Smorfette, despite being the adult here, doesn't care that her sister is scaring a helpless animal, just that she doesn't look "lady-like" doing it.
Sassette proceeds to chase the frog into a tree, where Nat tries to coax it down. Here it is revealed the frog can speak. However, before he can even attempt to explain, they spot the royal guard capturing frogs and scatter like lemmings. This panic, of course, causes the frog nearly be captured. Thanks to Sassette and Snappy's quick thinking, however, the six of them escape on Feathers.
While in the air, the frog reveals he's actually prince Theodore, which causes Smorfette to instantly become infatuated because literally all she cares about is status.
Back at the village, Poet has Brainy and Clumsy carrying what is certifiably too much paper, intending to write a book. He has no idea what he's gonna write, though. This is instantly brushed under the rug as Prince Theodore arrives.
After Smorfette explains the situation, a flashback begins where it is revealed how Theobore was turned into a frog. It turns out, Emperor Zurg caused a frog and Theodore to switch bodies using a magical powder™ and then locked Theodore in a cage. Very plucky tuba music then begins to play as Theodore watches helplessly as his life crumbles around him.
However, Theodore then manages to knock the cage off the desk (which apparently he hadn't tried in the several hours he'd been trapped), causing it to break. Naturally, his response is to leap out the window and fall probably 15 feet before stumbling out of the moat and fleeing into the forest. Theodore ends his flashback by revealing he's supposed to get married tonight.
Papa Smorf offers to look for a counter spell and within less than half an hour, Smorfette has gone completely ham in trying to ass kiss Theodore, giving him a throne, cloak, scepter, crown, foot rest, leaf fans, and smorfpuffs, not a single one of which he asked for. Poet then arrives with an entire smurfs worth of paper for the first half of what is clearly going to be way too long of a novel about Theodore. Seriously, that shit was thicker than a dictionary.
Papa Smorf then cuts in to say he's found the counterspell. Despite the fact he met a prince with the exact same problem in "The Blue Plague" several seasons earlier, Papa Smorf lies there is no cure, claiming the only way to reverse it is a kiss from his true love.
Smorfette, Sassette, Poet, and Theodore then proceed to sneak into Theodore's castle on Feathers, seeking the kiss of Theodore's fiancée, Lady Jasmine. Lady Jazzhands, meanwhile, is busy praising the decorations of Madam Lavina. Just then, the imposter Theodore arrives with roses that obviously aren't actually roses for Lady Jasmine; doing a very good job of being a real human bean™ Emperor Zurg then makes an awful pun and the screen fades to black.
Soon after, we see Lady Jasmine banshee screeching whilst looking for a vase for her definitely roses. Theodore praises his love before following her into the bedroom to ask for a kiss. However, Theodore, doesn't get a chance to explain as Lady Jasmine instantly starts throwing shit upon spotting him, as she apparently has a fear of frogs. Poet quietly notes how this will effect his novel, as he clearly doesn't care that someone's actual life is being affected by this. Good job Poet.
Jasmine is then put to bed like a child, where Theodore is able to explain while her eyes are covered. Despite this, she still faints upon seeing him, thwarting Theodore's chances at a kiss yet again. Morlock arrives at the sounds of Jasmine's screams, but is unable to catch Theodore because the smorfs threw a singular blanket on him.
Smorfette and Sassette then decide to tell Jasmine themselves, hoping they can get through to her. They don't get the chance to, as Madam Lavina walks in. Upon seeing the imposter Theodore bathing in the moat, Madam Lavina proceeds to ask why she's marrying Theodore in the first place. Jasmine just straight-up admits she's only marrying him for his riches. Why admit that? Your guess is as good as mine.
Returning to Theodore, they attempt to tell him the truth, but Jasmine arrives and he tries to kiss her one last time. He kisses her for less than two seconds, which is apparently too long of a kiss for her, yet is still a frog, much to his dismay.
Smorfette and Sassette then explain Jasmine does not actually love him. Theodore admits there can't be another candidate, because Jasmine was very possessive. He then gets captured by Morlock, who locks him in a dungeon as Theodore begins to lose his voice, becoming fully frog. Once again, all Poet cares about is how this will effect his novel. Good job Poet.
In response to this, Smorfette gives him a cheek kiss of reassurance, which turns him human beCAUSE OF COURSE IT DOES. When Jasmine kisses the imposter Theodore, he returns to frog form for unexplained reasons as the real Theodore crashes his own wedding, capturing Morlock whilst making a shitty pun.
The episode ends with Theodore saying goodbye to the smorfs, breaking up with Jasmine and lamenting that Smorfette isn't human, revealing he actually has the hots for her. What the fuck.
== Trivia ==
* The title is a play on the Prince and The Pauper, despite the fact they already made that pun three seasons ago with The Prince and The Peewit.
* Smorfette cites Papa's rule about not revealing themselves to humans despite the fact that rule is laughable at best at this point considering just how many humans they've befriended. (Spoiler: It's a lot.)
* Slouchy was in this episode too, he just didn't do anything important
* There are way too many frog puns in this.
* Theodore has a micro-macro fetish.
* Poet is very clearly shown to lack empathy in this episode, literally only caring about his novel. Good job poet.
* We still have no idea who voices Theodore.
* This is a pretty good episode with a shit ending.
