Miracle's First Crush (Hero Stories)/Part 5

The next morning, the hail had stopped, but snow had been falling in its place overnight. Miracle opened the bedroom window and noticed the village was covered in a thick blanket of white snow; and more was still falling. She shivered at the mere thought of stepping outside, but her thoughts were elsewhere.

"My poor Bombollino... Lost, all alone in the cold...!" Miracle said to herself. Her parents had just finished getting changed when they noticed she seemed to be too preoccupied with looking out the window.

"Is there something smurfing on your mind?" Hero asked her.

"It's just that... I can't stop smurfing about Bombollino, Papa Smurf," Miracle answered. "He's all alone out there in the freezing cold snow with possibly nothing to smurf."

"I'm sure he's fine, Miracle," Smurfette said, adding her views on the conversation. "You smurfed what he said, he's been smurfing in the forest for a very long time, so he knows how to smurf care of himself."

"But what about the dangers, Mama Smurf?" Miracle asked. "He could be smurfed by that evil wizard for all we know."

"Mama Smurf's right, Miracle," Hero said. "I'm sure he's just fine."

Miracle understood what her parents said, but she couldn't stop thinking about what could happen to her friend, so she decided to do what she thought was right: she got changed into her light blue fluffy winter's jacket, winter shows, pink scarf, and white finger-less gloves. She ran downstairs and grabbed a lantern by the door.

"Just where do you think you're smurfing off to, young lady?" Hero demanded.

"I'm going to find my friend, Papa Smurf," Miracle answered adamantly. "He should be here in the village with us; instead of being out there in the forest."

"I'll smurf with you," Smurfette advised. "Just so you don't get lost."

Miracle shook her head in agreement as she waited for her mother, Smurfette put on her thick white winter's jacket and purple scarf and came downstairs and followed  Miracle out of the house.

"Don't you want me to smurf along with you?" Hero asked.

"We'll be just fine, Hero," Smurfette answered. "You stay here just in case Papa Smurf needs you."

At that moment, Papa Smurf passed by a noticed Smurfette and Miracle leaving the village.

"Where are you two going?" he asked.

"We're going to find Bombollino, Papa Smurf!" Miracle answered. "We can't just abandon him like a smurf in the snow!"

"Just be careful out there," Papa Smurf advised, before he turned to Hero. "Hero! I need you to help with clearing the village of snow, a few Smurfs need help clearing the village square; that seems to be the most affected part of the village."

"Yes, Papa Smurf!" Hero answered. "I'll smurf right on it."
