Relatively Smurfing/Part 7

The next morning, Greedy was busy serving breakfast to his fellow Smurfs when he noticed something different that morning. "I wonder what happened to the Smurflings," he asked as soon as he finished serving the last Smurf in line. "They're usually here the first thing in the morning to smurf their breakfast."

"I don't know, Greedy," Smurfette said. "I thought maybe they smurfed up early in order to help out Farmer Smurf."

"Well, I surely haven't been seeing them smurfing in my fields when I was smurfing up there, Smurfette," Farmer said.

"This is most unusual for the Smurflings to just leave the village without smurfing a word to anyone as to where they're heading," Papa Smurf said as he stroked his beard in thought.

"I wonder if this might have anything to do with Sassette saying that Gargamel smurfed a change of heart like she thought she had smurfed yesterday," Tapper said.

"If that's what Sassette believes, laddies, I would understand that," Duncan said. "I just don't know why she would drag the other Smurflings along with her to smurf this for herself."

"The idea of Gargamel ever smurfing a change of heart is just totally preposterous, if I do smurf so myself," Brainy said. "If the evidence of our encounters with him clearly smurfs, it's more likely that he's just faking it in order to deceive us into believing that..."

Suddenly Brainy got picked up and tossed to the other side of the village. "Well, excuse me if you Smurfs don't like having me smurf out the obvious truth," he groaned.

"Papa Smurf, me and Duncan would certainly like to smurf out into the forest to find the Smurflings and make sure that they're not smurfing themselves into any danger," Tapper requested.

"I would also like to join Tapper and Duncan to find Sassette," Smurfette added.

"Very well then, my little Smurfs, as long as you keep yourselves out of any trouble you may encounter with Gargamel, if indeed he has returned to the land of the smurfing," Papa Smurf said.

"Aye, I'm sure that we'll find out the truth smurfer or later, Papa Smurf," Duncan said before he, Tapper, and Smurfette departed.
