King Of The Smurfs (Hero Stories)/Part 1

One clear summer morning in the Smurf Village, Smarty was busy helping his Papa and Mama Smurf clean the house. He was asked to clean the storage closet after dusting his Papa Smurf's entire collection of quotations of Brainy Smurf; which to Smarty was nothing more than a bore. As he dusted around inside the closet, he discovered a golden crown, a long red cape and a small mushroom staff.

"Hey, Papa Smurf!" Smarty called out. "What's with this cape and crown?"

Brainy and Athena came over and saw what he had uncovered, Brainy could only laugh with glee as he knew what the garments were.

"That, my boy, was my cape and crown back when I was King on the village," Brainy stated proudly.

"You? King of the Village?" Athena asked.

"Indeed, my dear Athena," Brainy stated again, still sounding rather proud. "I was once a proud and majestic King of the village, but my reign was short-lived by the other Smurfs."

"I highly doubt you were the king, Papa Smurf," Smarty said with a chuckle. "I bet it was Uncle Hero or even Uncle Hefty."

"Actually, this was during the time that Hero and his wife Wonder were away on a 2 month honeymoon," Brainy said.

"2 months?" Athena said in surprise. "That seems kinda long for a honeymoon; don't you think? I mean our honeymoon was only a few weeks."

"That is true, Athena," Brainy said. "But back then; I couldn't understand why they went away for so long, but now that I think about it, he felt like he really needed a good long rest after everything that he's smurfed for us."

"Example?" Smarty asked.

"Well, there was the time that Hawkeye was captured by the evil wizard Gargamel, and when we were all captured; he was going to use us for the gold making formula, but Hero returned and eventually rescued us all." Brainy answered.

"Any other examples?" Athena asked.

"Another? Well, there was another time that an evil imp named Azrin, who originally wanted Smurfette, smurfed a spell on Wonder that made her fall deeply in love with him; she even agreed in smurfing a family with him, luckily Hero was there to smurf through to her mind and smurf Azrin's control over her." Brainy answered once more.

"Now that sounds interesting," Athena said.

"Okay, I feel we're getting a little side-smurfed here," Smarty said. "How exactly did you become King of the Smurfs?"

"I'll gladly show you, my boy," Brainy said. "To the Imaginarium!"
