Smurfette's Inner Beauty/Part 1

Empath's personal journal.

''It is the time of the annual Smurf Art Festival, which is one of this smurf's favorite times of the year when every Smurf gets the chance to express themselves artistically with a subject chosen for the year's contest. This smurf has participated in the past in the Smurf Art Festival during this smurf's visits to the Smurf Village when this smurf was in Psychelia, and over the years this smurf's artistic skill has grown to the point where the other Smurfs feel that it is better for this smurf not to participate in the contest because this smurf ends up winning most of the time. While this smurf feels disappointed in having to keep myself from active participation in the contest as a contestant, Papa Smurf feels that this smurf could better serve as a judge so that this smurf wouldn't feel left out.''

''As this smurf remembers the years that have been spent visiting the Smurf Village, this smurf has been an avid student of Painter Smurf, Sculptor Smurf, and Scribbler Smurf, whose unique talents as artists have inspired this smurf to become an artist so that this smurf could offer something to the advancement of Smurf culture at large, seen from the perspective of a Smurf whose life was mostly lived apart from the Smurf community. Personally, this smurf feels that those Smurfs will be better remembered as legendary artists by future generations of Smurfs, which is not something that this smurf takes very lightly out of a sense of what personal pride this smurf has in my abilities. Nonetheless, this smurf wants to see them succeed and become recognized as the Smurfs that they were meant to be.'' - Every Smurf gathered around the speaking mushroom at the sound of Harmony's horn for Papa Smurf's latest announcement. "My little Smurfs," Papa Smurf began, "as you all know, tomorrow is the annual Smurf Art Festival, which is when every Smurf is invited to test their skill smurfing this year's subject for the Masterpiece Of The Year. The winner of the contest will smurf the honor of having his work be smurfed on public display for all the Smurfs in the village to see, and will be smurfed with a month's supply of smurfberry pudding."

Every Smurf cheered at the news, except for Grouchy. "I hate contests," he muttered.

"None of you Smurfs stand a chance to smurf the masteurpiesa de l'année, because I am going to be the Smurf who will win it," Painter said proudly.

"Says you, M'sieu Painter," Sculptor said. "The winner of this year's Smurf Art Festival is going to be me, mark my smurfs."

"Neither of you is going to smurf the Masterpiece Of The Year award, mes amis, because I'm going to be the Smurf who will win the contest," Scribbler said.

And this started up an argument among the other Smurfs who also joined in to claim themselves as the potential winner of the contest, until Duncan McSmurf interrupted them. "Hold your horseflies, laddies. We still need to pick who or what's going to be the subject of the year for the contest, or else none of you is going to be the winner."

"Duncan is correct, my fellow Smurfs," Tapper added. "We need to choose what's going to be the subject for us to smurf our talents with so that Empath and Papa Smurf can choose the winner of the contest when it's all said and smurfed."

"How about we have Smurfette be this year's subject for the contest?" Snappy suggested.

"Me? But I have been the subject of the contest for the past five smurfs now," Smurfette said.

"Oui, mademoiselle," Painter said. "But what better Smurf to have as our inspiration than the angel in blue?"
