The Cat Smurfette (Hero Stories)/Part 3

Smurfette thought her only best option during her hospital stay was to keep this strange change a secret from every Smurf, even Papa Smurf. She hid her hands under the bed sheets every time Doctor came to check up on her progress and whenever her friends came to visit. One day, she was discharged from hospital and went home to have a little piece and quiet, she kept her hands completely hidden from view, but she noticed their cat companion, Pink, was sticking quite close to her on the way back.

"Okay, girl, no need to smurf so close," Smurfette politely said, slowly pushing her away. Pink just looked at her confused, but she still kept close until Smurfette reached her mushroom. Smurfette sat on the swing-bench outside, but still kept her hands out of sight.

Wonder soon approached her with Sassette by her side.

"How you feeling now, Smurfette?" Sassette asked her.

"I feel a little bit better, but I smurf this inner feeling of smurfing like something that Azrael smurfed up," Smurfette answered. "I just need a little more alone time."

"I can smurf you've got Pink smurfing you company," Wonder said.

"Yeah, I really do appreciate her company," Smurfette replied.

"Maybe I could have Greedy smurf you something to eat?" Wonder suggested to Smurfette.

"That sooounds smurfy," Smurfette answered, but she quickly covered her mouth afterwards. Sassette looked at her very surprised, but also very concerned.

"Are you sure you're feeling smurfy, Smurfette?" Sassette asked concernedly.

Smurfette slowly shook her head, "I feel fine, Sassette," she insisted. "I just need a nice long rest and then I'll be back to my smurfy self."

"Do you want me to smurf Pappy Smurf?" Sassette asked.

"No!" Smurfette answered sharply. "There's no need to smurf for Papa, I'm just fine."

"Well, if you say so, Smurfette," Wonder said. "But first I'll smurf Hefty and Fergus to smurf some milk for Pink, I'll be right back."

Sassette just sat next to Smurfette and waited for Wonder to return with Hefty and Fergus.

... A little while later, Wonder returned with Hefty and Fergus, who were carrying a large bowl of milk for Pink to drink.

"Here you are, girl," Wonder said sweetly, as Hefty and Fergus slowly lowered the bowl to the ground to not spill it.

"That's sooo smurfy of you," Smurfette said, licking her lips at the sight of the bowl.

"What was that, lassie?" Fergus asked.

"Don't mind meeow, Fergus," Smurfette answered. "I'm just so tired; I don't know what I'm smurfing."

"Well, we'll leave so you can smurf a little...cat nap," Wonder responded. "Come on, Smurfs, we've got chores to smurf."

Smurfette watched her fellow Smurfs leave to go do their chores.

"Oh, thank smurfness," Smurfette said with a sigh of relief. "I'd thought they never leave, smurf over, Pink, I'm thirsty." she then started to drink the milk rapidly from the bowl.
