Chapter 1 – Friends, Flirting and False Hope

It has been near enough a year since Vexy and Hackus had found a new home in the Smurf Village. They were instantly accepted by all the Smurfs and they're glad to be amongst friends and family at this time of the year with so much going on.

It happened to be a few days until the 1 year anniversary upon Vexy and Hackus arrival at the village and Papa Smurf suggested a party to be arranged to celebrate.

Vexy was sat on the field of grass that featured on the outskirts of the village with Smurfette, Hefty, Grouchy, Gutsy, Brainy and Clumsy.

Smurfette and Hefty was sat just a fraction away from the group flirting, Hefty whispered things into Smurtettes ear from time to time and she replied with a girly giggle.

It was a couple of months ago since Smurfette confessed to Hefty how she really felt about him and it turned out he felt exactly the same way, so right there and then as they both declared their deep insisting love for each other and it looked to be the beginning of something big.

So with Hefty and Smurfette being the leading couple in the group, it kind of set Vexy back after she started developing feelings for Grouchy… Over the past year or so Smurfette asked her new Sister Vexy to come along joining her and a few of the Smurfs on days out away from the village, only so Smurfette could spend time with Hefty, which left Vexy in an awkward position but she soon made close friendships with the rest of the Smurfs (Grouchy, Gutsy, Brainy and Clumsy).

These days out became a regular thing and on these particular days Smurfette and Hefty would sit together enjoying each other's company, Gusty, Brainy and Clumsy would be kicking a football about, and Grouchy and Vexy would be joining in with the activity but then getting easily distracted by flirting with each other.

This process had been going on for a while but every so often the group would wonder deep into the woods and bump into girls from different parts of the forest, all of the group except from the girls and hefty would be caught up in their beauty and start flirting with them in all of the time they'd be out on that particular day.

Which caused jealously to run through Vexys body as she witnessed Grouchy wooing someone else other than her; she thought none of it as she knew she was more special to him than anyone else. But was she just too deep in love with him?

Wednesday was a bright sunny day and Vexy was over at Tailors for her final dress fitting before the Party. Her dress was a Knee length Royal Blue colour that fitted her slim figure from the waist upwards then it was puffy netting from downwards of the waist

Vexy stood in front of the mirror with the dress on and looked how beautiful she actually was

Tailor: Amazing Vexy, You look stunning

Vexy: Thank you Tailor…It's so beautiful

Tailor: It's my pleasure

Once Vexy had finishing admiring herself in the mirror she took the dress off and changed into her normal tomboyish clothes

The group was all walking past Tailors mushroom when Vexy stepped out of the wooden door

Gutsy: Hey Lass! You comin' along?

Vexy: Depends, where y'all going?…

Grouchy: It's this magical place called the woods, ya know you might have been there one time –Grouchy stated his witty comment obviously knowing that she's been there before

Vexy: Ha! Ha!... The usual place then? –Vexy smirked as she asked Smurfette the question instead of any of the guys

Smurfette: Yeah, we just wanted to get away from the place while everyone's rushing around for your party on Friday –Smurfette answered as she was holding hands with Hefty

Vexy: Why not? I could do with getting out of the village for a bit

But secretly Vexy only carried on hanging around with the group so she could spend time with Grouchy. They all went out over the field were they usually went and Vexy's Party was the main subject

Smurfette: So who's excited for Friday?

Vexy: Oh please Smurfette lets not talk about it – Vexy wasn't very fond of being the centre of attention when it came to groups of people especially if Grouchy was a part of that group and then she'd worry of saying the wrong thing or embarrassing herself

Smurfette: You haven't even showed me your dress Vexy! What's it like?

Vexy: Can we change the subject please?

Gutsy, Grouchy, Brainy and Clumsy were all playing football but they were close enough to the others to hear what topic the conversation was on

Gutsy: Imagine Vexy in a Dress! –The other 3 Smurfs playing Football laughed along to Gutsy's Joke

Grouchy: I can't imagine you in a dress… - Grouchy stated being all serious before he realised what he actually said in front Vexy and the guys

Vexy: Me neither… I hate dresses!

Brainy: So why are you wearing it?

Vexy: Papas making me… -Vexy muttered looking down at the grass she lay on

Grouchy saw her sad reaction to Brainys question

Grouchy: I bet its gunna be Pink and Frilly isn't it? –Grouchy mocked as Vexy shot up and pushed him causing him to lose his balance

Gutsy: Aye! All girls like dressing up and that! I don't see the point in it all really… -Gusty said in his heavy Scottish accent

Clumsy: Spending so much time on their hair and makeup… and then tryna find the right outfit to wear, it's too much effort

Smurfette: Haha! Tell me about it!

Hefty: But it's all worth it in the end, as you look prettier than ever before

Smurfette replied with a smile and turned around slightly as she was sat between Hefty's legs and kissed him gently on the lips whilst everyone else looked away in disgust

Smurfette: So come on what colour is it?

Vexy:…Blue

Grouchy: Aww Vexy in blue dress haha-

Before Grouchy could mock Vexy anymore she kicked him on his side as he was still lay on the floor

Grouchy: Ouch!

Vexy: Ha! Ha!

In this moment Grouchy reached for Vexys arm and pulled her down on to the ground as they instantly started to play fight, rolling around in the freshly cut grass

Gutsy: Aww look at Vexy and Grouchy… such a cute couple – Vexy and Grouchy both looked at each other as it started to become uncomfortable

Vexy instantly aroused from her position on top of Grouchy

Vexy: Shut up! - She said pushing Gutsy from his stance before sitting down next to Smurfette and Hefty

Gutsy: Well that's not very lady like

Vexy stuck her tongue out at the Scottish smurf

The smurfs were all eventually sat in a circle by the end of the night talking about everyday things enjoying each other's company and laughing at one another's jokes

Hefty pushed himself up from where he lay and brushed the few pieces of grass from his pants

Hefty: Come on guys, it's getting dark we should be heading back – The muscular Smurf demanded helping his girlfriend up from the floor

Smurfette: Yeah Papa will be getting worried

Once they entered the village Hefty and Smurfette shared one last kiss of the night before separating, Vexy was stood with the guys

Vexy: Soo… You know just out of curiosity, who's coming the party on Friday Night? – Not making it obvious that the only reason she asked them was so she could find out if Grouchy would make an appearance

Brainy: Are we invited?

Vexy: Well that just depends if y'all are nice to me – Vexy Sarcastically remarked

Clumsy: Oh well… -He said disappointedly

Gutsy: She's messing with us laddie, we're all invited –Nudging Clumses arm

Vexy: So What about you?

Grouchy: Me?... Err probably not… Party's aren't really my thing

Vexy: I wasn't really sure you had a 'thing'; I mean you're just you

Grouchy: I'm just me? –Grouchy asked confusingly

The two friends shared a giggle amongst them so know awkwardness was between them

Grouchy: Is… ermm, me not coming a problem?

Vexy: What! No it's totally fine. I asked liked out of the blue, right? I was just wondering to see how many people would actually turn up. Soo…-

Vexy got cut off by her sister pulling her away

Smurfette: Come oon Vexy

Vexy: O-okay, I'll see you later – Vexy waved to her friends as she got dragged away down the path

The two opposite genders parted and the blonde Smurf wanted to get something off her chest

Smurfette: So… You and Grouchy huh?

Vexy: Hahahaa what?

Smurfette: Nothing it's just… When are you going to make a move, it's been nearly a year?

Vexy: I don't know, I've always felt like the guy should be the first one to show how they really feel not the girl

Smurfette: I was the one who made the first move with Hefty and look at us now

Vexy: Yeah, you can't keep your hands off each other –Vexy muttered under her breath

Smurfette: Huh?

Vexy: Nothing… Grouchy isn't exactly the romantic type though

Smurfette: Vexy what have you got to lose

The 2 sisters stopped upon the arrival at Vexy's mushroom

Smurfette: Go for it. If he doesn't want to be with you then that's his loss – Smurfette said placing her chubby hands on Vexys shoulders

Vexy: Thanks Sis

The siblings shared a loving hug before the gothic girl ran up towards her mushroom and opened the door

Vexy: Maybe see you tomorrow?! –She shouted down to Smurfette

Smurfette: Yeah! Goodnight! – The blonde Smurf shouted back as she walked further away down the path

Vexy went straight to bed, hoping she would have a great good night's sleep with so much she'd done today but that wasn't the case.

The dark haired smurf tossed and turned thinking about that one smurf that was constantly on her mind, that particular smurf that gave her sleepless nights for almost a year now and the same one that gave her butterflies in her stomach every time she saw him

Vexy in time drifted off to sleep dreaming about various scenes of her and Grouchy and the times they flirted together
