The Other Smurfette/Part 1

Empath's personal journal.

''Today is Smurfette's birthday, and so far it is one of the few that I have had the pleasure of celebrating since this smurf came home from Psychelia for good. It is hard to believe that Smurfette is only about eight years old and yet looks like she is the same age as most of the male adult Smurfs. Her first appearance as a Smurf, according to her memories, wasn't the best of times for her, since she was created as a weapon for Gargamel to destroy the Smurfs with her female charms. After her attempt to destroy the Smurfs with a flood of water from the Smurf Village Dam has failed, she confessed what she really was and that she desired to be a real Smurf. So, using the Adam's Rib Spell, Papa Smurf turned the once "un-Smurfy" version of Smurfette into a real Smurf, and in the process made her so beautiful that the male Smurfs still find her attractive even to this day. This, however, made Smurfette a target for Gargamel to capture and sway her to come back to being "his darling daughter" once again, though his attempts to do so continually failed.''

''Anyway, most of the Smurfs have been so busy trying to keep Smurfette so occupied that she wouldn't notice that we have been preparing a birthday party for her behind her back. Even her closest friend and sister Smurf Sassette has kept the party preparations under wraps so that Smurfette wouldn't notice. Hopefully we will succeed in surprising her this year, but who knows?'' - It is near the end of the day when Smurfette and Sassette were both walking back to the village together, having gone on an all-day errand to bring back flowers for Vanity and some special herbs for Papa Smurf's experiments. Puppy followed behind them, pulling a cart full of the flowers and herbs they collected.

"Well, this has certainly been an exhausting day, Sassette," Smurfette said with a sigh. "I can't believe all the things that I have to smurf on my own smurfday today."

"I know how you feel, Smurfette," Sassette said. "This is certainly a whole lot of flowers and herbs that we have collected today from the forest."

"At least we don't have to worry about smurfing into Gargamel anymore, at least for the time smurfing," Smurfette said. "That would just ruin our day altogether."

"I still feel ashamed that I thought Gargamel was my pappy, and that I was created by him through the Smurflings, when I was actually a real Smurf all along," Sassette said.

"Sassette, don't feel ashamed," Smurfette said. "I have to smurf with the fact that Gargamel is, and will always be, my creator, though I know that he can never truly be my father since he just doesn't smurf it in his heart to truly love me like a father to a daughter."

"At least we have Pappy Smurf as our father, Smurfette," Smurfette said. "That's the one thing we can be proud of, right?"

"I suppose so," Smurfette said. "He did try to love me as something more than that, but I could never smurf that as actually smurfing out between the both of us, especially now that I have Empath in my life."

"You're a lucky Smurfette to be the only Smurfette in the village who is as beautiful as you, Smurfette," Sassette said. "I could only wish to become just as beautiful as you are someday."

"You will, Sassette, just let Mother Nature smurf her time with you," Smurfette said.

They soon reached the village, which they noticed was rather empty and quiet. "They must have all smurfed in for the night. It figures," Smurfette said with a heavy sigh. "I'm going to go smurf care of Puppy while you smurf yourself ready for bed. I'll smurf by a little later to see how you are smurfing, okay?"

"I'll be waiting, Smurfette," Sassette said as they went their separate ways. She went ahead several houses toward the center of the village, watching to make sure that Smurfette would be out of sight. Then she ran straight for Tapper's Tavern, where she could see there was a large crowd waiting for them inside.

"Sassette, what smurfed you so long?" Snappy asked.

"Yeah, everyone here is getting anxious waiting for Smurfette to arrive," Slouchy said.

"It smurfed a bit longer than I expected it to, but at least I helped smurf her out of the village for long enough," Sassette said.

"Did Smurfette even notice anything, Sassette?" Nat asked.

"I haven't smurfed to her one single thing about her party, Nat," Sassette answered.

"Good, my little Sassette," Papa Smurf said. "Now let's see if we can get Smurfette to come into the tavern after she smurfs Puppy to bed for the night."

"Gosh, I can't wait for Smurfette to come smurfing in here to see what we are smurfing tonight," Clumsy said. "This is going to be the best smurfday party she's ever going to smurf."

"I still think the time when we tried to smurf her as queen of the Smurf Village was the best smurfday party, if only because I got to be her royal consort," Brainy said.

"All you ever really are is just a royal pain in the Smurf there, laddie," Duncan McSmurf said.

"Be nice to our friend here, my fellow Duncan," Tapper said. "Just because he may lack in wisdom does not smurf us the right to belittle his efforts to become like Papa Smurf."

"One way that Brainy can be like Papa Smurf is if he smurfs his mouth shut every once in a while," Duncan said. "You don't hear Papa always smurfing his head off like everybody needs to listen to what smurfs on in his mind at all times."

"Do you sense where Smurfette may be, Empath?" Hefty asked.

"Right now she's at Puppy's dog house, getting him unhitched from the wagons he was carrying and settling him down for the night," Empath answered.

"But how are we going to smurf Smurfette to come by to the tavern?" Handy asked.

"We just let her look around for a bit to see if any Smurf is available, and if worse comes to worst, this smurf will simply just inspire her to come to the tavern," Empath answered.

"Well, I hate waiting for a party," Grouchy said.

"This one understands your impatience, Grouchy," Polaris Psyche said. "However, we must let the situation play itself out so that Smurfette will come to the tavern and find out that we have a party waiting for her."

"Just relax, Grouchy, Smurfette will come," Empath said.
