Purple Reign Of Terror/Part 4

The following day, Duncan was with Smurfette trying to comfort her. "I can't believe it, Duncan," she whimpered. "Hefty, Handy, Tapper...they're all turned into Purple Smurfs...and we're going to be the next ones, I just know it."

"Try to cheer up, lassie," Duncan said. "Papa's not going to stop trying to find the cure, even if it means we may have to leave the forest."

"Leave the forest?" Smurfette said, sounding bewildered. "But what about our friends? What's going to happen to them if they're not cured?"

"I agree with Smurfette," Vanity said, who was also with Duncan and Smurfette. "What a terrifying horror it must be to wake up one thing and find out that you've been smurfed purple for the rest of your life."

"I'm not going to give up on our friends, and neither will any of you," Duncan said. "But if our friends want us to smurf ourselves to safety as their final wish, I would want to honor that wish no matter what any Smurf thinks."

Soon they heard Harmony summoning everyone around the speaking mushroom again. Duncan, Vanity, and Smurfette joined the others as Papa Smurf arrived with some terrible news.

"None of my remedies are working, and time is running out," Papa Smurf said. "We now have fifteen Smurfs that are infected, and..."

Suddenly they could hear a "Gnap!", followed by an "Ouch!"

"...and we must find a cure for the sixteen infected Smurfs...," Papa Smurf amended his statement.

Then there was another "Gnap!", followed by another "Ouch!"

"...the seventeen infected Smurfs before we all become extinct," Papa Smurf amended again. "Our final hope is to catch the purple fly. Perhaps from it we can discover what the cure is. I'll be joining you on the hunt so that you know what it is that we're smurfing for."
