Time for Adventure! (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 3

"I can't believe you disobeyed Papa like this!"

Spiro bellowed as he and the rest hiked their way to the end of Smurf Forest the next day, "What if we get caught?!"

"Relax, Worrywart Smurf," Eska reassured him, "There are hundreds of Smurfs in the Village. Papa won't even notice we're gone!"

"Unless someone tells him!" Spiro gripped the top of his hat and pulled it over his head in frustration.

"Oh, lighten up, cousin!" Felipe told him, "We'll be back soon and Papa will never know!"

"I hope" Britze added quietly.

Spiro let loose and decided to trust his friends. After hiking for an hour, (and taking breaks in between), someone's stomach started growling. The five looked over at Britze, who blushed in embarrassment, "Uh...I guess I'm starting to get a little hungry."

"How about a lunch break?" Eska asked her friends.

"What'cha brought?" Bash asked.

"Let's see..." Eska looked inside her bag and pulled out various food items, "I got a few Smurfberries, three celery stalks, peanut butter---yay, peanut butter!---, raspberries, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, and a can of baked beans!"

"Ah, I love baked beans!" Bash commented, then started singing while tossing the can back and forth:

Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat them, the more you toot.

Benny tightened up and blushed, "Oh, my"

"Bash, can you watch your French please?" Eska stopped him before he could sing anymore.

"I actually know the song in French." Felipe commented. The others, besides Bash, persuades him not to sing it.

"It's best that we don't make ourselves throw up while thinking about flatulence, ok?" Spiro asked him.

After lunch, they continued their hike until they saw a sign in the distance. Eska pulled out her bionoculars and read the sign.

"Serenity Meadow" Eska read, "We did it! We made it out!"

The others celebrated as they ran towards the exit, but something that was on the path blocked Spiro's way. In front of him were bambooed bars. He was trapped!
