GHOSTLY SMURFS

They were swirling around in a multi-colored time tornado. And around them time crystals were making tinker bell sounds in combination with a droning hum. They didn't know where

"Where are we now?" she asked Papa and Grandpa.

"In a bayou from the looks of it," Grandpa replied shivering.

"There's a clearing up ahead," Grandpa. "C'mon, youngin's. This is no place to be in a thunderstorm."

"I see a house up ahead," Brainy shouted.

From a distance stood a dilapitated old mushroom house. It was too big for any smurf let alone people and fairy folk.
