A Valentine to Remember (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 2

Once Charming met Eska and the others at the Sitting Rock to help him with his problem about Mona Smurfette. As Charming explained his situation, the others nodded in understanding and tried to come up with a plan.

"Mona is a pretty hard target," Spiro told him, "Due to her being so...picky."

"Yes," Benny agreed, messing with his scarf, "She mostly just tries to throw herself on me,"

"You're pretty much the main reason she won't run to me!" Charming pointed his finger at him and poked his chest.

Eska got annoyed and slapped his hand away, "Ok, first of all, Benny had NOTHING to do with this. Secondly, this gave me an idea."

Meanwhile, Mona was strutting around Smurf Village, looking for her sweetheart Smurf. When a whistle came from the opposite direction, Benny stood there waving at her. Mona squealed, "Oh, Benny-boo! There you are!" She ran up to him and kissed his cheek, causing him to blush a bit, "Now, do you have my Valentine's card?"

"Well, n-no," Benny replied, "It's not really a card. It's more of a...movement."

Mona gave him the flirty eyes, "Ooh. You sly devil. Lay it on me."

As Mona puckered her lips, Benny backed away. When Mona felt a pair of lips on hers, she smiled. When she released, it wasn't Benny. It was Charming.

"Oh, fair maiden!" Charming swooned, "The feel of you lips gave my heart great flight!"

"Ewww!" Mona rubbed the kiss off her lips, "I thought I kissed Benny, not a posing fake prince!" Afterwards, she flipped her hair in Charming's face and walked away.

"Oh, how she slips through my fingers so fast," Charming sulked.

"Don't worry, my royal friend!" Eska stepped up, "We will make sure you get Mona, I'll make sure of it!"

The elf girl stood up and wrapped her arms around Peewit, "Who might I have the pleasure of knowing?"

"Peewit, ma'am," Peewit introduced and slid out of the elf's grasp, "But, don't get too clingy. I have a girlfriend."

"Peewit, is everything okay?" Julia came to the bushes.

"Yea, everything's fine, my sweet," Peewit held her hand. The elf girl grimaced at Julia, pushed her out of the way and walked up to Peewit, "My name's Bristlette." the elf held out her hand for Peewit to kiss.

Instead, Peewit shook it, "Well, very nice to meet you!"

"Um, sorry, ma'am, but," Juliet tapped Bristlette's shoulder, "But, mind if I can get through,"

"Well, I'm sorry," Bristlette said quite rude, "But you're going to have to wait your turn!"

The answer she gave to Julia made her as mad as a steaming bull. The others came by and witnessed the situation.

"Woah," Johan noticed, "We interrupt something?"

Once they made it back to the hovel, Savina got her a cup of tea and gave it to her, "Now, can you tell us how you got in this situation?"

"Well," Bristlette, "I was walking back home to gather some berries for our Valentine Feast, but I got lost and now, I can't find my way home!"

"Now, uh, where'd you say those berries were?" Jackie asked.

"Well, don't worry, miss," Gerard took her hand, "We can help you!"

"Yea," Julia agreed, "We can draw a map of the forest for you so you can find your way home."

Peewit looked at her weirdly, "Or we can escort you home. What'ya say to that?"

"Oh, thank you!" Bristlette stood up and took Peewit's hands, "I am very thankful all of you are helping me." She smirked at Julia, who was returning with a scowl. She pushed the two away, "Ok, but we're gonna have to establish a rule. Everyone get a buddy."

"I CALL SAVINA! I CALLED HER! CALLED IT!" Johan exclaimed. Savina giggled.

"Maybe I can go with Jackie?" Cerise took Jackie's arm.

"I won't mind that, kid," Jackie agreed.

"Bristlette, you go with Gerard," Julia suggested, "He's a king, and he shall protect you best,"

Bristlette harrumphed, "Why don't you go with that guy?"

"Because, if you haven't noticed," Julia pointed to Peewit, "I happen to be in a relationship with the guy you're goo goo eyeing at. I just don't want you making him uncomfortable," After Julia left, Bristlette glared in her direction.

"But, it's Valentine's Day. And I'm yearning to get a man this year.
