The next morning, Papa Smurf woke up as he stretched his arms and yawned, readying for another day of preparation for Smurfette's birthday. He stopped when he saw few smurfs, and the smurflings in front of Smurfette's house.

"Rattle rabbits! There's so much to do." Sassette said.

"What's going, my little smurfs." Papa Smurf asked.

"We came to check on Smurfette, but no one could find her, Papa Smurf." SmurfPetal replied.

"Surely, we don't want to spoil the surprise party for her, so we have to check her before she saw all the decorations we made." Handy added.

Then, Vanity walked out of Smurfette's house with her compact on his hand. "Say, look at this smurfy compact I found on her dresser." He opened the compact, and saw his reflection in the mirror. "Oh my! It's even lovelier in the inside. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I borrowed it for a little while."

"Can you help us find her, Papa Smurf?" Snappy Smurfling asked.

"Yeah, she might be lost or captured by Gargamel if we can't find her." Slouchy added.

"If you wish, I'm sure she's probably out for a morning stroll." Papa said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Out of the forest, Gargamel, Azrael, Monty, and Scruple were suffering from walking all night, following Smurfette who tried to lead them to the Smurf Village.

"I'm sure the village is straight ahead." Evil smurfette said. "It was just the other side of a

"That's what you've been saying all night." Gargamel rolled his eyes, getting tired of Smurfette's directions.

The villains stopped as Smurfette began to wonder "I could've sworn it was right here. I don't get it."

"Maybe I can." Scruple interrupted. "The Smurf Village was hidden somewhere, and can only be found and remembered by a smurf, but she's not a smurf anymore."

When Smurfette glared at the child, Gargamel narrowed his eyes at her, realizing Scruple might be right.

"I have enough with smurf hunting, Gargie. I'm outta here!" The boy said as he decided to leave Gargamel, and Azrael and Monty agreed and followed him.

Gargamel sat on a rock, and rubbed his foot in pain. "Ow, my aching feet!"

"Maybe the village is that way." Smurfette pointed her left.

"Oh, shut up..." Gargamel didn't believe her as they heard voices from afar.

"Smurfette! Oh, Smurfette!"

Realizing it was the smurfs they've heard, Smurfette quickly took out her blonde wig, and wore it on her head to cover her black hair. "Uh-oh, if they see me with you, the jig is up."

Papa Smurf, Hefty, SmurfStorm, and the smurflings were looking for Smurfette, until they saw her with Gargamel.

"Look, he's got her again!" Nat Smurfling yelled.

"Hurry, smurfs, we must save her." Papa said as they ran to save Smurfette.

"Uh-oh." To save Gargamel and herself for finding out about their evil plan, Smurfette has a plan. She put the butterfly net on Gargamel, and pretended to be in danger. "Help! Help!"

"Get this off me, you fool!" Gargamel demanded as he tried to break free from the net.

"Quiet, Gargamel!" Smurfette growled as she jumped on Gargamel's foot and ran away with smurfs as part of her play, making the wizard yelled in pain.

When Gargamel was distracted, the smurfs, with Smurfette in tow, ran as fast they could before the wizard had the chance to catch them.

"Smurfette, are you alright?" Hefty asked.

"Yeah, thanks to you, you distracted him or I would never escape." Smurfette replied, still playing along.

"Let's get out of here." Slouchy said as they headed back to the village.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Papa, Hefty, Stormy, and the smurflings ran inside the log, Smurfette just realized that the village was hidden behind the log that was in the deeper part of the forest. It is impossible for Gargamel to find it on his own, so Smurfette tried to figure out something to help her master as she walked in the log, and finally learn that the Smurf Village was completely hidden. Only a smurf can remember and fit in this entrance

When they saw Smurfette coming, the boy and girl smurfs quickly hid the decorations away to hide from Smurfette, not wanting to spoil the surprise. When she arrived, they all acted casual like it was just an ordinary day. Since she's evil and un-smurfy, Smurfette didn't bother to intervene or knowing what the smurfs are up to.

But for the smurfs, they thought Smurfette was very suspicious as SmurfLily volunteered to distract her from being suspicious.

"Hey, Smurfette!" She greeted cheerfully. "So, are you okay? Are you hurt? Did that meanie ol' Gargamel captured you again?"

Evil Smurfette found this girl smurf annoying as she answered anyway. "Well, I... no. Papa Smurf and others just saved me and..."

Just then, Painter Smurf approached the two girls, volunteered for distraction also, and said in French accent. "Bonjour, Smurfette, izn't this a beautiful day? Good for painting."

Uh, yes, but," Before Smurfette can answer to escape from these crazy smurfs, more and more of them approached her and greeted her cheerfully, but Smurfette got irritated and yelled. "Quiet! Quiet! SHUT UP!!!"

The smurfs gasped loudly as they whispered on each others' ears for what Smurfette did.

"She said that word again." SmurfBlossom whispered to Handy Smurf.

"What did you say?!" Smurfette glared at the cheerful girl smurf.

"Nothing. N-n-n-nothing." Blossom stammered in fear.

"Geez, Smurfette, calm yourself down." Vanity said while holding a compact.

Smurfette noticed her compact in Vanity's hand. "My compact!" She quickly snatched it away from Vanity's Smurf's hand, and snapped at him angrily. "How dare you steal it?!"

"B-but I was just borrowing it. I never meant to..."

Before Vanity can explain, Smurfette marched away angrily as the smurfs moved aside to avoid her. "Just do what you were doing and leave me alone!"

When Smurfette was gone, SmurfWillow heard a commotion, and approached the crowd of smurfs and smurfettes. "What seems to be the problem?" She asked.

"Smurfette's acting awful strange." SmurfMeadow replied.

"And very unsmurfy." Grouchy added, crossing his arms.

"Perhaps it's her trauma about Gargamel." Willow thought.

"Maybe. She's been captured by Gargamel several times." SmurfAggie said.

"I think something's wrong." SmurfStorm stated.

"I wouldn't worry, everyone. I'm sure, on her birthday, Smurfette would be back to her old self again." The female smurf leader said as everyone continued to prepare for Smurfette's birthday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When SmurfWillow reported Papa Smurf about Smurfette's sudden behavior, Papa thought of something to clear her mind off things before her birthday arrived as he asked a smurf to call for Hefty.

Later, Hefty arrived at Papa Smurf's house, panting when he ran as fast as he can after receiving the message from a smurf that Papa commanded to call him. He knocked on the door first before he entered.

"Come in."

Hefty heard Papa's voice as he opened the and entered. "Did you call me, Papa?"

"Yes, Hefty. The smurfs were complaining about Smurfette's behavior all day. Have you noticed it?" Papa Smurf explained.

"Well, yeah. She's been acting differently." Hefty replied.

"That's why I called you. I need you to accompany Smurfette to clear her mind off of things that stresses her before her birthday. we don't her to be unhappy on her special day, weren't we?"

Hefty stood up straight, snapping out of his tiredness, and saluted at Papa. "Don't worry, Papa. I'll handle this."

"You?"

The two male smurfs heard a female raspy voice as they turned around to the door and saw SmurfStorm, standing righter and listening to their conversation. "How could you be watching over Smurfette? You should be focus, stay alert, and active than admiring her beauty and 'nice' nature."

"Because I found her long ago before she became a real smurf, and I'm always protective over her!" Hefty glared at Stormy, who was rolling her eyes.

"That's why chose him, SmurfStorm." Papa Smurf explained. "I know you want to protect her and the other smurfs, but Hefty is the only smurf I ever trust on to look after Smurfette. I hope you understand."

Stormy growled in frustration, then she calmed herself down by stomping her foot. "Fine, but I have to keep on eye on you two." Her eyes narrowed at Hefty as he glared at her too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later at night, it's been a long day of pretending to be nice to the smurfs, but she can't hold her nasty nature for so long. It's been exhausting. She was watching the smurfs and smurfettes ready to get back to their houses to get some sleep. (Each group has 100 smurfs of both boy and girl, plus one including Smurfette) Minutes later, when the lights of each mushroom house and hut were turned off, it was Smurfette's chance to contact to Gargamel as she opened her compact and called him.

"Calling Gargamel! Calling Gargamel! Come in!"

Gargamel appeared in the mirror, angry and glaring at Smurfette. "Why you double-crossing little...! I'm surprised you get to talk to me after what you did!" He revealed of putting his aching toe on a bucket of hot water.

"The bigger problem than your big toe! The smurfs are getting suspicious! I can't keep up this act much longer!"

"There must be a way you can get me into the village! You must!"

Then, Smurfette cackled evilly. "Leave it to me, Gargamel! I just have an idea, and I'm sure it's gonna work!"

"It better be!" Gargamel growled. "I don't want to walk around the forest for hours just to find that hidden village!"

Suddenly, there was loud rapid knock coming from her door. How could that be this time of night?

"Uh-oh, someone's coming." Smurfette said. "I better go!"

"Go ahead, but make sure you have to make your plan work." Gargamel said before he disappeared from the mirror.

"Whatever you say, Gargamel." She muttered as she wore her blonde wig, and opened the door. There she saw Hefty, standing in front of her. She cleared her voice, and said with a sweet tone. "Oh, hi, Hefty. What are you doing here this time of night?"

Hefty scratched his head as he was very nervous to tell Smurfette. "Um, Smurfette, are you available tomorrow?" Oh, why did I say that? That kind of question is stupid!

"Uh..." Smurfette has to make her plan quickly before anyone notice her as she lied to the strong smurf. "No. Why?"

"Well, I was just thinking..." Hefty stammered nervously as he gained confidence and cleared his throat. "W-w-will y-y-y-you g-g-go out w-w-w-with m-me tomorrow? You know... hanging out. Not really a date! But just hanging out as... f-f-friends."

Smurfette realized that hanging out with one smurf will help her make her plans. "Oh, I'm available tomorrow, so it would be okay."

Hefty eyes widened in excitement. "You do?"

"Oh, of course. It's wrong to refuse an offer from a gentle smurf like you."

She was got by surprise when Hefty grabbed to hug her. "Oh thank you, Smurfette! We're going to have so much fun! Just the two of us! We're going smurf-board out of the forest."

"Wait, what about Gargamel?"

"Don't worry. When Gargamel came to scare you again, I'm always here to protect you."

When Hefty said those words to her with a smirk, Smurfette didn't know what came over her as her face, suddenly, turned red. This smurf was such a gentleman or gentlesmurf.

"So, goodnight. See you tomorrow." Heft said before walking away with pride from her house.

"Okay, uh... Goodnight." Smurfette was still blushing as she closed the door. When she did, she shook her head, snapping out from her fantasy as she stayed focus on her plans to help Gargamel get into the village.

Sorry, it's been a short while. I need time to think for this chapter, but I did it! Once again, I included another smurf from the cartoons show and movies, Painter Smurf. I apologize for typing his dialogue. IT's hard to spell words in French accent. I also typed the other smurfettes' names that were mentioned by SmurfBlossom from the film. SmurfWillow, SmurfBlossom, SmurfStorm, SmurfLily, and SmurfMelody aren't the only female smurfs around, you know. Enjoy this chapter. Prepare yourselves for the next chapter!
