The New Shop In The Village/Part 2

And so the construction continued, until the morning, when everybody was summoned out of bed by Harmony playing his horn. They all gathered around the location of the shop that Chatty and Nosey were building together.

"My fellow Smurfs, loved ones, and children, we are so glad that you have gathered together for this momentous occasion," Chatty said.

"Well, smurf to it already!" one Smurf said. "We haven't smurfed our morning brew yet!" And several Smurfs also raised similar complaints.

"That's what we are offering, a place where you can smurf your morning brew and also smurf a little pick-me-up for the day," Nosey said. "And so, without further ado, may we present to you...The Wake N Bake Brew Shop!"

"THE WAKE N BAKE BREW SHOP?!?" all the Smurfs said together.

"I hate the Wake N Bake Brew Shop," Grouchy said.

Nosey pulled down the cloth that covered over the entire shop to reveal it fully. The shop looked pretty much like Tapper's Tavern, except that it had a smurfnip flower on the shingle and the sign THE WAKE N BAKE BREW SHOP hanging over on the roof.

"Well, this should be interesting," Lazy said with a yawn as the Smurfs went inside the shop to get a look.

Inside, the shop had similar seating and furnishings like those of Tapper's Tavern, although the walls were now adorned with designs of little smurfnip flowers all over. Over on the counter was a box full of rolled-up cigarettes, presumably all of them having a smurfnip blend of some sort. The air smelled of the fragrance of both hot acorn brew and fresh smurfnip buds ready to be smoked.

"Well, I certainly don't believe it!" Smurfette said, sounding unimpressed.

"This is certainly an interesting looking place, Chatty and Nosey, but how long do you intend to have it open?" Empath asked.

"We're going to start with just having it be open on mornings for now, Empath," Chatty said. "But who knows, if business starts to smurf up, maybe we'll just have it be open for the evening hours as well."

"Smurfnip is a great smurf to help Smurfs fall asleep," Nosey said.

"Well, as long as my little Smurfs don't start smurfing off on their jobs in the village, I will permit this to continue being open," Papa Smurf said.

"Trust us, Papa Smurf, they won't," Chatty said.

"So who wants to be the first to smurf some brew and some smurfnip this morning?" Nosey asked.

At first nobody stepped forward. But then Lazy and Nabby decided that they would be the first customers. They both received a cup of hot acorn brew and a smurfnip cigarette to smoke with it.

The other Smurfs watched as Lazy and Nabby sat down and enjoyed their brew and their smurfnip together. Then a few more Smurfs decided they would have some to start the day with. Then a few more also came to the counter.

Most of the other Smurfs decided that they would rather leave, as the air inside the shop began to fill with the smoke of smurfnip.

"Well, that's the beginning of The Wake N Bake Brew Shop," Empath said. "I wouldn't think that the village would ever end up having something like this."

"Me neither, Empath," Smurfette said. "I don't think I could stand smurfing in there for very long with all those Smurfs smurfing their brains out."

Papa Smurf sighed. "Let's hope for the best, my little Smurfs, while we smurf about our daily routines the way we usually smurf."

To be expanded on.
