Smurfette In Charge: A Narrator's Story/Part 3

"Smurfette being able to get Nabby's head out of a window just by smurfing laundry soap?" Brainy said as he started to laugh. "That is just totally smurfdiculous! How could anyone believe such nonsense would actually work?"

"I wouldn't be the one who's laughing if I were you, my fellow Brainy," Tapper said, sounding displeased. "Who knows, you may end up someday with your head smurfed through a window if some Smurf got fed up smurfing your words of wisdom being smurfed at them."

"Please, boys, let's not smurf into an argument here," Smurfette said. "I just want to listen to the story that Narrator's smurfing us."

"Nevertheless, Smurfette's use of laundry soap was quite unusually effective, in the same way that oil can be used to make things slippery enough to slip out of tight spaces," Empath said.

"But what else did Smurfette do to prove herself to be a capable leader of the Smurf Village, Narrator?" Chatty asked.

"The next day, Smurfette had brought Baby Smurf over to Brainy's house so that he could watch over him while she inspected the work at the village dam, which is where the other Smurfs encountered a difficult problem," Narrator said.

And as Narrator continued the story, Empath and his fellow Smurfs saw Smurfette with Baby Smurf in a baby stroller, knocking on the door of Brainy's house. "Yes, Smurfette, what is it?" Brainy said as soon as he answered the door.

"I need some Smurf to watch over Baby Smurf while I take a smurf at the village dam today, Brainy," Smurfette said.

"Oh, why does it have to be me?" Brainy said, not liking what he was asked to do. "It's rather difficult for me to smurf today."

"But it's your turn, Brainy," Smurfette said. "You can't watch over him for just a bit?"

"Of course I can, Smurfette," Brainy said. "You see, though, that I do have an important lecture that I need to smurf some time working on..."

"OH, YOU'RE JUST SMURFING THAT TO ANNOY ME, BRAINY!" Smurfette shouted, after which Baby Smurf started crying.

Brainy sighed as he picked Baby Smurf up from the stroller to calm him down. "It's nothing for you to get upset about, Baby Smurf," Brainy said in as gentle a voice as he could. "Smurfette is just a bit tense. She's got all these responsibilities that are very heavy for her to smurf. You'll understand when you are old enough to become a productive member of Smurf society just how things smurf."

Smurfette had to restrain herself from lashing out any further at Brainy as she left his house and headed out of the village toward the dam. On her way there, Sassette joined her. "Morning, Smurfette," she greeted. "Why do you smurf so upset today?"

"It's just Brainy Smurf being so difficult when it comes to Baby Smurf, Sassette," Smurfette said. "He's really starting to smurf me on the edge, and on top of that he has the nerve to tell Baby Smurf that it's just how the way things smurf in the village, like male Smurfs are supposed to be this and female Smurfs are supposed to be that."

"Yeah, I know that he's annoying, Smurfette," Sassette said. "I just hope that isn't what Baby Smurf will end up smurfing when he gets older."

"Smurfette! Wait up!" a voice called out. Smurfette and Sassette stopped and saw that Nabby was running towards them carrying a small box. "I just wanted to smurf my appreciation for what you smurfed yesterday with a box of bonbons that I have smurfed for you...well, actually, Greedy smurfed them for me, but...you know..."

"Oh, thank you, Nabby," Smurfette said as she took the box from Nabby and opened it up.

"I got a little hungry, so there's only half of what's supposed to be in here left," Nabby explained as she saw the contents of the box.

"That's not a problem, Nabby," Smurfette said. "It's the thought that counts. Anyway, I don't think that I can smurf them all. Would you mind if I share this with Sassette?"

"Oh, sure, go ahead," Nabby said. "I've already smurfed my fill of the bonbons."

"Smurfabunga!" Sassette shouted as she took some of the bonbons from the box and started eating them while Smurfette did the same.

As the three Smurfs got closer to the dam, they could see that the Smurfs working there were having a bit of a problem. There were some leaks in the middle of the dam, but the Smurf on the ladder couldn't reach the leaks because the ladder wasn't high enough, and the Smurfs that were trying to hoist up the ladder were having problems standing on the slippery rocks below, not wishing to put anyone in danger.

"Smurf aside, Smurfs, and let me smurf it with the rope ladder," Hefty said as he attached the rope ladder to the walkway platform of the dam and rolled it down before he started to climb down it.

"That's great, Hefty, but how are you going to smurf the trowel and the bucket while you are smurfing on to the ladder?" Handy asked.

As Hefty tried to think of a suitable solution, Smurfette was already thinking of one that she could see working inside her head. "Smurfs, I'm going to need a sheet of canvas to smurf down on the ground as well as a smurf of rope," she said.

"Canvas and a rope?" one of the Smurfs at the dam said, unsure of what they will be used for.

Smurfette received both items and then proceeded to roll out the sheet of canvas on the ground. "Hefty, I'm going to need you to smurf down on the ground on top of the canvas."

"Me, on top of the canvas?" Hefty said. "What's smurfing on here, Smurfette?"

"Just trust me and you'll see in a minute," Smurfette said as she grabbed Hefty's arm and brought him over to the canvas sheet, which he then laid down upon.

The other Smurfs watched in amusement as Smurfette folded the canvas around Hefty's waist, effectively turning it into an adult-sized diaper. "Hey, look, it's baby Hefty!" Jokey said as he burst out in laughter, as also did Sassette and a few other Smurfs.

"You're asking me to smurf this?!?" Hefty said, greatly displeased at what Smurfette had done to him. "Ooooh, I swear that if you weren't a Smurfette that I would..."

"Oh, calm down, Hefty...you'll understand," Smurfette said as she attached some rope to the diaper and then had some Smurfs put the rope around a tree branch to test it out. They pulled on the rope and were able to hoist Hefty up from the ground while he was wearing the diaper. "You see? Smurfing this, you'll be able to smurf the leaks safely."

"Out of the question, Smurfette," Hefty said. "I feel too silly smurfing this."

"Come on, Hefty, don't be such a child...unless you're afraid?" Smurfette said.

"Me, afraid?!?" Hefty said, not liking the idea of being challenged. "Smurf me the trowel and the bucket, and let's see if I'm afraid!"

Soon the Smurfs had lowered Hefty down from the walkway platform of the dam using the canvas diaper while he carried the bucket and trowel. They saw that they were able to reach the spots where the dam was leaking and Hefty could apply caulking to seal up the leaks.

"You know, this isn't such a bad idea after all," Hefty said as he applied the caulking.

Handy watched as Hefty did his work in the safety of Smurfette's invention. "Frankly, Smurfette, I don't know where you smurf up with these ideas of yours, but this one works just as well as the one with the laundry soap," he said.

To be expanded on.
