The Ransom of Red Smurf (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 4

At the Smurf Village, Spiro, along with Bash, Britze, Benny, Felipe, Papa and Smurfette were coming up with a plan to get Eska back.

"So, the horrible red Smurfs sent us a Ransom note?" Smurfette asked, "And they won't give her back unless we reveal our location?"

"What's worse, their spelling is terrible," Bash added.

"Don't you worry, my little Smurfs," Papa reassured, "We will find a way to get her back."

"But, how?" Britze wondered.

"How about a deadly sleeping gas to knock them out?!" Bash excitedly suggested.

"Oh!" Smurfette cried.

"Would...wouldn't the sleeping gas knock Eska out, too?" Benny counter argued.

"He does have a point, Bash," Papa agreed. The others did too. They kept on brainstorming.

"What if we lie about our location?" Britze nervously wondered. "That way it would...lead them off track. If that's okay."

"I'm afraid not," Papa waved that thought away, "We're Smurfs, and Smurfs don't lie."

"...Okay," Britze shyly ran her fingers through her long light blonde hair, embarrassed.

Afterwards, the others suggested ideas that might work. But, no matter what they had in mind, it wouldn't work. Papa had finally made a decision, a hard one, "We may have no choice...but to reveal the location of our village,"

"No! Papa, we can't!" Smurfette gasped.

While the others were panicking, Spiro processed all this, then came up with an idea that may help them all. Though the risk of telling Papa about this is high, he was willing to take it.

"Hey, guys!" He got their attention, "I think I may have an idea that will work!"

"Huh?" The others wondered.

"What is your idea, Spiro?" Smurfette asked.

Spiro explains his idea to the group. While the others thought it was a great idea, Papa Smurf was a bit skeptic.

"I don't know about this, Spiro," Papa Smurf rubbed his beard, "How can we trust them?"

"They made a promise to protect this village," Spiro replied, "Eska and I wouldn't have trusted them unless they were serious."

"Well, if Eska trusts them, so do I!" Felipe pumped his fist.

"Me too," Britze shyly agreed.

"Oh, Spiro!" Smurfette cooed while clasping her hands," You always know just what to do!" With those words, Smurfette planted a kiss on Spiro's cheek, which made him blush, giggle, and kick his leg a little.

"Aww!" Spiro giggled, "Thanks, Smurfette! Hehe!"
