Lovin' on Britze (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 5

Eska knocked on Papa Smurf's door, hoping that he is immune to the spell. Britze hid herself so that Papa wouldn't see her. When he finally opened the door, he was everything Eska expected....immune to the spell.

"Eska, Britze, what's wrong?" Papa asked.

"Gargamel put a spell on Britze that makes every Smurf fall in love with her!" Eska blurted, "We were lucky you're immune."

"Yea." Britze agreed.

"What color was the drop?" Papa asked.

"That's the thing." Britze explained, "I don't know...all I know is that it dropped onto my head."

"Well, in order to reverse the spell," Papa suggested, "We have to take the color of the original drop and mix it with it's opposite. We then dump it on Britze, and everything should turn to normal."

"How do we do that if you don't know what the color is?" Eska wondered.

Papa thought about this, then answered, "I'm afraid we have no choice but to head to Gargamel's lair."

After hiding Britze from the rest of the Smurfs, they headed towards the Smurf Forest. It was a long walk.

"Papa, are we there yet?" Eska asked.

"Just about," Papa Smurf replied.

A mile later, Eska asked the same thing.

"We almost there?" Eska asked.

"Just about," Papa Smurf repeated his answer.

Two miles later, Eska asked again.

"Now, Papa?" Eska repeated.

"No!" Papa replied, "Smurf Up!"

"But, we've been hiking for three miles for you to say, 'We're almost there'!" Eska complained.

Just then, they saw the light from Serenity Meadow coming from the end. They finally made it and saw Gargamel's lair from the distance.

"I have a potion that will get us there fast," Papa held up a lime green potion and poured a bit on Eska, Britze, and himself. They immediately flew up to Gargamel's window. They peeked to see Gargamel making more of a potion. Papa took a quick look and saw the color.

"It's pink!" Papa concluded, "We have to get some of that potion so that we can mix it with it's opposite color."

"What if Gargamel sees us?" Eska looked at Gargamel making a fool of himself.

"Trust me," Gargamel reassured holding a vile, "I have a plan."
