Smurfette In Charge: A Narrator's Story/Part 2

"Yeah, so what?" Chatty said. "I don't see where it leads to Smurfette becoming the assistant leader of the village yet."

"Be patient, my fellow Chatty," Tapper said. "I have a feeling in my spirit that Narrator is just smurfing to that point."

"Indeed I am, Tapper," Narrator said. "It was now the following day, where Papa Smurf was ready to smurf on his trip, and all his little Smurfs have gathered around him to find out who he was going to smurf as the new temporary leader."

And as Narrator continued his story, Empath and his fellow Smurfs saw all the Smurfs gathered around Papa Smurf at his house, as he closed the door after bringing out his traveling bag. "There! I'm ready, and Feathers the crane is waiting for me," Papa Smurf said.

"Oh, Papa Smurf, what about your, uh...," Brainy reminded him.

"My replacement?" Papa Smurf said. "I was just smurfing to that. For that Smurf, it requires common sense, practicality, and of course, sensitivity. And so, after some careful consideration, the Smurf that I have chosen will be...Smurfette!"

"SMURFETTE?!? OUR NEW VILLAGE LEADER?!?" all the Smurfs said in unison.

"I hate Smurfette as our new village leader," Grouchy said.

"You've got to be kidding, right, Papa Smurf?" Jokey asked.

"This is no joke, Jokey," Papa Smurf said sternly. "I have carefully smurfed my decision, and I expect all of you to respect it. And now, if you'll excuse me, I must leave for Homnibus' hovel immediately. Smurfette will be smurfing you in for what's on the schedule for today." With that, Papa Smurf picked up his bags and jumped onto the back of Feathers.

"Have a safe journey, Papa Smurf," Gutsy said as he and his fellow Smurfs waved goodbye to Papa Smurf as he flew off.

"And above all else, smurf home soon," Brainy added.

After Papa Smurf had flown far out of range from the village, the Smurfs were now talking among themselves about Papa Smurf's decision. "Smurfette as Papa Smurf's replacement? What was he even smurfing?" one Smurf said.

"Maybe he's become like Crazy Smurf and finally losing it up here," another Smurf said, circling a finger around his ear to suggest that someone has gone fruit-loops.

"Well, she's charming, and everybody loves that about her at the very least...," a third Smurf said.

"But a Smurfette that runs an entire village?" a fourth Smurf said. "Anything can happen, I tell you."

Just then, Smurfette showed up with Sassette beside her. "Excuse me...I don't want to rush you Smurfs, but Papa Smurf said that there was some urgent work that needs to be smurfed at the dam today and..."

"Yeah, yeah, we're on it, Smurfette," one of the Smurfs said, sounding like he didn't want to hear it from Smurfette.

"We know what we have to smurf!" a second Smurf said.

"We're not children anymore!" a third Smurf said, as all the adult Smurfs in that group had walked away from Smurfette.

"Gossiping groundhogs, Smurfette, they sure seem quite upset with you," Sassette said as the two of them watched the adult Smurfs walk off.

"I know how you feel, Sassette, but I'm sure that it will pass," Smurfette said. "They can't smurf like this against me for very long. Anyway, I'm glad that you're here to help me, because Papa Smurf said that good leaders need to have good followers."

"Well, according to this list that Pappy Smurf gave me, we're supposed to check up on Greedy Smurf to see what he will be smurfing for today's meal, Smurfette," Sassette said as she read from a sheet of paper containing all the things Papa Smurf had written down for both Sassette and Smurfette.

"Then we might as well smurf to the kitchen right and see what he's smurfing that will be smurfy," Smurfette said as the both of them walked in the direction of the kitchen.

"You know, I think being the leader is surely going to be a lot of fun, Smurfette," Sassette said. "It makes me wonder what I would do in Pappy Smurf's place if he ever decides to smurf me as the leader of the village someday."

"Right now let's see if we can smurf through this day without smurfing into any problems that we can't handle by ourselves, Sassette," Smurfette said.
