"Polaris' Smurfy Life" is a story that is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series.

Plot Summary
One day, about two years after Polaris Psyche has left Psychelia, he has come down with a degenerative disease that Empath discovers has been purposely implanted into the Psyches by the Psyche Master should they ever try to live their lives outside the collective consciousness of Psychelia. Empath also discovers that the Psyches are actually genetically-modified Smurfs that have been cloned from the Psyche Master himself. To save Polaris, Empath subjects him to an injection of Smurf essence while also using the mindlink he has with the Smurfs to create a genetic graft. Although Polaris recovers, he also finds out that the side effect of the cure is that he has been turned partially into a Smurf, with the only thing missing is the tail. While Polaris does not know how long he will remain in the appearance of a Smurf, he does get used to his new appearance despite his dislike for wanting to appear as a Smurf.
