It was a fine spring afternoon, tomorrow is Friday which will bring April Fools Day. It's Jokey's favorite holiday, a day where the number of pranks he does per day peaks every year. He prepares for his big prank, as he is concentrating all of his resources at a particular smurf.

The 10 cm tall grass green human smurf hybrid, wearing wood land camouflaged smurf hat and pants, has recently taken number 1 on his Top 10 list of smurfs to prank, with Brainy Smurf taking 2nd place respectively. The green smurf's name is Chernov, and it turns out that April Fools Day is his favorite holiday as well.

This is not a surprise due to Chernov's merciless nature. He likes the holiday because it is the only day in the year that he can "torchre" his fellow smurfs, for reasons that aren't easily explained yet fully understood.

That after noon, Brainy skips along the village with a smile on his face. He just passed Jokey's house where he stepped on a rock, Brainy's weight made the rock explode like a landmine as a result. Chernov heard the explosion and Brainy's screams across town amidst a chemistry experiment, he took off his safety goggles and gloves before running outside to Brainy's aid.

He found Brainy lying face down in a crater about 8 cm wide and 3 cm deep, his glasses lie near the rim of the crater as fellow smurfs gather around as he regains consciousness. "Smurf that Jokey Smurf," cursed Brainy as he crawls out of the crater, "How come I didn't see that coming?"

When no one came to Brainy's aid as he use his hand to locate where his glasses went, Chernov steps forward and lends Brainy a hand. Brainy grabbed it and was hoist back to his feet as Chernov hands him back his glasses. ]

Jokey was laughing hysterically inside his house, everyone can tell as they can hear his muffled laughter from within his home. "You okay Brainy?" asked Chernov.

"Not until I take care of Jokey," grumbled Brainy.

"You'll get him soon enough comrade," said Chernov, "You'll get back at him soon enough."

Chernov and Brainy has been good friends for a year now, Brainy hadn't understood Chernov that well but Chernov understands Brainy completely. More than any other smurf in the village. As fellow smurfs wonder off, Chernov took Brainy back to his house to have him examined for injuries. Incredibly Brainy wasn't hurt, not physically that is.

"Nothing seems to be broken," said Chernov, "Which is surprising due to the force from that explosion."

"It felt like a spring smurfed me up into the air," said Brainy, "So what do you have in mind about Jokey?"

"I have a plan," said Chernov, "It's going to involve a bit of medicine and a lot of ingenuity."

"How?" asked Brainy.

Chernov explains in full detail about his plan. Inside Chernov's basement lies the plumbing station for the Smurf Village's water system, it provides fresh water from the nearby body of water to all the smurfs in the entire village.

Inside a room in the basement, a machine sucks in water from the nearby body of water through a 25 mm diameter pipe. The machine purifies the water to the point where it's drinkable before delivering it to a single massive pipe with about 100 individual 8 mm diameter pipes sticking out of the wall, these pipes are separate networks which all lead to only one mushroom home where the water completes its journey.

"So what are you smurfing here?" asked Brainy.

"I have the water network specially designed so I could put desired stuff into the drinking water," explained Chernov, "Either to individual smurfs or the entire village, I also can cut the water flow to one or to all as well. And I have something special for Jokey."

"What are you going to smurf in Jokey's tap water?" asked Brainy.

"A sedative," continues Chernov, "There's a bit of a delay so if Jokey ingest it, he'll sleep like a rock at night. It doesn't matter how much he takes in as his urinary track will filter out the excess dosage of the sedative, he'll be using the bathroom a lot for the next few hours."

"But why a sedative?" asked Briany.

"So he wouldn't wake up when we," Chernov cuts himself off as he pulls out a roll of duct tape before continuing, "Wrap his house and him in duct tape in the dead of night."

Brainy loved the plan and shook Chernov's hand," Genius," Brainy complimented, "Let's get smurfing then, shall we?"
