Dreamy's Lost Village (Hero Stories)/Part 10

All the Smurfs escorted Smurfette back home. The woods were peaceful after the rains. Wind whistled through the trees, and the night stars provided a soft glow. When the Smurfs entered the village, the other male Smurfs emerged from their houses to see not only see Papa Smurf and their friends return, but setting their eyes on the Smurfettes for the very first time, but this didn't overshadow the fact that their dear Smurfette was nothing more than a clay model.

Smurfette's clay form lay in the middle of a circle formed by the Smurfs. The entire village took turns placing flowers and gifts near her, including both pictures that Snappy took.

Papa Smurf stood before the others and said, "Smurfette never believed she was a real Smurf, but she was the truest Smurf of all."

Wonder couldn't hold back her tears as she cried against Hero's shoulder, he put his arm around her to show his support, but he too couldn't hold back his tears. Brainy removed his glasses to wipe away his tears, Snappy climbed onto his shoulder, she was crying too.

Hefty placed a small bluebell flower on Smurfette's clay form, holding back his tears. Clumsy soon joined them, he took Hefty's hand and eventually the others began taking each others hands, until a chain of two hundred Smurfs, from both the village, and the grove, surrounded Smurfette.

After a few moments, small blue sparkles began to appear from each of the Smurfs bonded hands, and the energy transferred itself to Smurfette, giving life back to her. Smurfette's nose wiggled, her hair shone golden, and finally she opened her eyes.

She sat up and walked towards Wonder, who still had her eyes closed.

"Why's everyone crying?" Smurfette questioned Wonder.

Wonder sniffed, "It's Smurfette. She's a lump of clay."

Smurfette stepped close. "No, Wonder, it's me. I'm right here."

Wonder looked up to see Smurfette. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

"Smurfette?!" Wonder said in complete surprise, she grabbed Smurfette's nose to make sure she was real, then once convinced. "Smurfette! You're alive!"

Hero and Brainy were still in the moment with their eyes closed.

"Quiet, Wonder," Brainy said.

"Let her be, Brainy. We all grieve in our own way," Hero responded.

Hefty looked up at that moment and noticed Wonder and Smurfette were sharing an emotional embrace, he gasped.

"Smurfette!" He proclaimed to the others before running towards Smurfette.

"Not you too, Hefty," Brainy said before he finally opened his eyes and see Smurfette was indeed alive once more.

Hefty picked up Smurfette and gave her a great big hug, "Don't ever do that to me again," he told her.

"I won't, I promise," Smurfette replied with a smile.

Papa Smurf and Hero soon joined them, Papa Smurf was more stunned than anyone. Smurfette laughed and hugged them both tightly.

"Look at you. You never cease to amaze me," Papa Smurf said. They held each other for a long moment. Trippy soon rushed forward and barreled into Smurfette. Then the other Smurfettes joined her, surrounding Smurfette with love and hugs.
