Lazy's Birthday Dream

"Lazy's Birthday Dream" is a mini-story that is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series.

The Story
It was the day of Lazy's birthday during the first year of Empath being home from Psychelia, and Lazy fell asleep while everybody was preparing for the party. He could only imagine what it's going to be like this year.

"Lazy! Lazy, wake up! It's time for your smurfday celebration!" a Smurf was calling out to him in his sleep.

Lazy woke up and found out that it was the Smurflings. "Oh, hello there. I didn't think that the party would be starting soon."

"We've been busy for hours, Lazy," Snappy said.

"Yeah, do you know how much work it smurfed us just to get things ready?" Nat said.

"Hey, it's only Lazy who's smurfing a smurfday today," Slouchy said.

"I bet you must be needing something to get this party smurfed and ready for you, so we smurfed the honors of smurfing you this," Sassette said, producing a box of what appeared to be rolled-up cigarettes.

Lazy looked at the Smurflings in amazement. "You Smurflings did this for me?" he asked.

"Why wouldn't we, Lazy?" Snappy said. "We know how much you like smurfing in those green leaves that you're so smurfy about."

"So we smurfed you only the best in smurfed-up cigarettes," Nat said.

"What are you waiting for?" Slouchy said. "Go ahead and smurf yourself one to light up!"

"Here, you can use this," Sassette said, producing a lighter in the other hand.

"Oh, this is just too real to be a dream," Lazy said as he took one of the cigarettes out of the box and had Sassette light one up. He inhaled and noticed how sweet the smoke tasted. "Aaaaahhh...this really smurfs the spot!"

"Here, smurf the whole box with you," Sassette said. "It's your smurfday present this year."

"Oh, you're the best friends that a Smurf like me can have," Lazy said, taking a few more puffs while also grabbing the box of cigarettes. "Wow, this really gets me smurfing in the clouds. It must be a special blend of smurfnip."

"Comes from Farmer's special crop out in the fields, Lazy," Slouchy said. "Only he knows how to grow smurfnip to smurf you that extra special kick."

"We would have smurfed out in the fields all day smurfing the stuff, but Farmer says that this is only for Lazy's smurfday party, because he really cares about you," Snappy said.

"Just don't smurf it all at once, though," Nat said. "Make sure you smurf the rest for later on, when you really need to feel that smurf."

"Come on, Lazy, let's get smurfing to the party," Sassette said, grabbing Lazy's hand after he had finished smoking the cigarette.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming," Lazy said as he got up and followed the Smurflings into the center of the village where he saw all his fellow Smurfs looking so mellow, as if they have been smoking the same herbs.

"Lazy, you're just in time," Papa Smurf greeted him. "Greedy has smurfed you a very special cake for your smurfday this year."

"A very special cake?" Lazy said. "What kind of cake is it, Papa Smurf?"

"Oh, it's a very special recipe, smurfed with all kinds of herbs and ingredients that will make you feel just as relaxed and as smurfy as we are," Papa Smurf said.

"Yeah, this is the cake that really bakes you," Greedy said as he brought out the cake that somehow had green frosting on it and designs of smurfnip blossoms on it.
