Little Sister Smurf Lost/Part 5

Sometime later in the Smurf Village, Sassette was back in the Smurflings' playhouse, sitting by herself at the desk with her drawings, but this time crying. She felt sad because of the memory of the parents that she had lost years ago when she ran away from home, angry because she allowed herself to become used by Avengelica to get revenge on those who had hurt her, betrayed because Avengelica would threaten to kill those she came to love, and now alone because she was the only one of that generation of Smurfs who is still a child while everyone else she once knew grew up without her.

Nat, Snappy, and Slouchy didn't know what they could do to cheer her up, so they went to Papa Smurf, who was with Empath and Smurfette to help Hefty recover from his own sense of sorrow from the past.

"She's still smurfing it pretty bad, Papa Smurf," Nat said.

"I thought that she would be happy smurfing back home with us, but I guess even that's not smurfy enough for her now," Snappy said.

"Her fellow Smurfs were pretty hard on her, Snap," Slouchy said.

"I can't blame her for still being angry with me, if that's how she feels," Hefty said. "This is just what I deserve for treating her like she was nothing because she was just a girl."

"We still care about you, Hefty, even if you do treat other Smurfs very badly," Smurfette said.

"We need to find a way to bring unity back to Sassette and the whole village if any of us are going to have peace with ourselves, Papa Smurf," Empath said.

Papa Smurf stroked his beard while he listened. Then he finally said, "I think I have an idea of what to do, Empath." - Sassette was at her desk doing some drawings when she heard a knock on the door. "Sassette, it's me, Empath," the voice on the other side of the door announced. "This smurf would like you to step outside the door for a minute, if you would mind."

Sassette put down her crayons and then headed for the door to open it. When she did, she found herself surrounded by her fellow Smurfs, with Greedy carrying a big cake that had a heart ornament placed on its top. "What's smurfing on here?" she asked.

"We're sorry, Sassette!" all the Smurfs said together.

"The entire village decided that the best way we could make amends with you, Sassette, is to throw a big apology party on your behalf," Empath explained.

"We're sorry that we all treated you like you weren't a real Smurf back when we were all Smurflings," Handy said.

"And we're also sorry for lying to you about being a creation of the Smurflings when you were a real Smurf all along," Smurfette said.

"You mean...you still truly care about me...even after all that's happened?" Sassette asked, not believing what she was hearing.

"Aye, my little lassie," Duncan said. "You were the best thing that's happened to us in the village ever since all of us laddies were born."

"And though you're still young compared to the rest of us, that doesn't mean that we'll smurf the less of you for still being so young," Tapper said.

"Besides, you also have your new friends, the Smurflings, to smurf after you just in case we're all too busy for you," Brainy said.

"Here, Sassette, I want you to have this," Hefty said as he gave her a present.

Sassette opened it up and saw just what it is. "It's your arm-wrestling championship trophy," she said. "But that's your most important prize in the world. Why would you smurf it to me?"

"Because right now, you're my most important prize in the whole world, and I wouldn't smurf you up for anything else, Sassette," Hefty said. "So does that mean that we're forgiven?"

Sassette smiled. "Absosmurfly forgiven," she said, as she gave Hefty a big hug.
