The Buzz Bean Incident/Part 3

"So Tapper got the first taste of this new brew and found it to be really energizing," Empath said. "This smurf could only wish to have been there to see what the other Smurfs' reactions were to it."

"We didn't have to wait for long for Tapper to smurf us this new brew, Empath," Smurfette said. "It became one of the first beverages that was smurfed to us the next morning, when every Smurf smurfed together for breakfast."

And as Smurfette continued her story, Empath saw what happened the following morning. Most of the Smurfs had gathered together at the dining area outside to go through the line and get their breakfasts. And again, most of the Smurfs seemed like they didn't get enough sleep the night before.

"I wonder what's been smurfing on with Tapper since the tavern was closed last night, Duncan," Smurfette said as she sat by him, Hefty, and Tuffy at the table with her breakfast, having her usual cup of hot smurfberry tea in hand.

"I'd be smurfed if I knew, lassie," Duncan said. "I have a feeling that he must have been smurfing with those purple pods Tracker had smurfed in the forest yesterday."

"Is Tapper trying out a new drink that he's smurfing at the tavern?" Tuffy asked.

"Who knows what's smurfing on with Tapper?" Hefty responded. "I just can't smurf most of his drinks anyway, and Smurf knows that I don't want to hear about his imaginary God."

"You were there when he smurfed upon the name of his God to smurf away those sharks that surrounded us in the ocean, Hefty," Smurfette said. "How can you say that He's still imaginary?"

"I really don't want to discuss it with anyone, Smurfette," Hefty said rather defensively. "That's just a situation that we smurfed out of with a bit of luck on our side."

"You won't admit that Tapper's God is real for fear of admitting your own personal weaknesses, laddie," Duncan said.

"I can still smurf you on anyday, Gutsy, don't forget that," Hefty said.

"You can try if you want to, and the name is Duncan, not Gutsy," Duncan said.

Just then, Tapper arrived at the scene, bringing with him on a cart a big hot beverage dispenser that seemed to smell of something good that was tickling the noses of the Smurfs gathered at the table.

"I say, what is that heavenly aroma?" Vanity asked, sounding curious.

"Whatever it is, Vanity, I feel like it's smurfing me up just by smelling it," Handy replied.

"I can't wait to find out what it is," Jokey said.

"I hate waiting to find out what it is," Grouchy said.

"My fellow Smurfs and Smurfette, welcome to the new morning brew that is better and smurfier than your old standard acorn brew," Tapper said, seemingly proud. "One sip of this and you'll be amazed of what it will smurf to you."

"Better than acorn brew?" Lazy wondered. "Is it even safe to drink, Tapper?"

"Here, try some for yourself, Lazy," Tapper said, pouring out for him a cup of the new brew.

Lazy took the cup of brew and drank it. Suddenly his eyes shot wide open as if he had been hit with a surge of electricity. "Wow! I really feel wide awake now! I feel like I can smurf just about anything today with this."

Most of the Smurfs were amazed. They never thought to see the day when a simple drink would make Lazy seem so energetic.

"Hey, let me smurf some of that brew," one of the Smurfs said as he dumped the contents of his acorn brew cup out on the ground and headed over to Tapper's serving cart.

"Yeah, me too," another Smurf said, also doing the same.

And soon Tapper found himself with a crowd of Smurfs all gathering around him to try out the new hot beverage that he was serving. They each took one sip and found themselves amazed at how alert they were now feeling just from that one sip.

Smurfette, Hefty, Tuffy, and Duncan just sat in their seats and watched everybody else get a cup of the new brew. "Michty me, laddies, Tapper's got most of the fellow Smurfs smurfing out of his hand with whatever that drink is," Duncan said.

"Yeah, that must be a really supersmurfed version of acorn brew," Tuffy said, watching the effects of the new drink.

"Those Smurfs should be careful," Hefty said, sounding cautious. "Who knows what's in that stuff that could be dangerous for any Smurf to drink."

"What do you mean, dangerous?" Tuffy said. "Those Smurfs look like they could smurf a boost of energy in the morning to get themselves smurfing."

"I would like to try it out for myself, even though I don't like the taste of acorn brew or anything similar," Smurfette said, sounding intrigued.

"Maybe you shouldn't be smurfing that, Smurfette," Hefty suggested. "A female Smurf wouldn't be able to handle all that energy that it may smurf you."

"Who are you to say what a lassie like her can't handle, laddie?" Duncan said, sounding offended.

"I'm just trying to be reasonable here, Gutsy," Hefty said. "You can't handle me smurfing out for Smurfette, you're the one who has a problem, not me."

"Just let Smurfette try it out for herself, Hefty," Tuffy said. "What possible harm could it smurf her?"

"Don't none of you smurf that I didn't warn you," Hefty said, sounding adamant.

To be expanded on.
