I LOVE YOU

Chapter 1 "Go on, ask her"

It was a nice and smurfy day in the forest, the little smurfs were all in their houses still asleep, until finally Harmony Smurf woke up to do his wake up call to the other smurfs.

As the trumpet sounded, one by one all the smurfs woke up, along with the sweet and beautiful Smurfette, her eyes opened slowly and she gave a cute yawn while stretching a bit, and she got out of her bed and got dressed for a new day. As she was coming out of her house, a certain smurf was watching her, none other than Hefty Smurf, he's had a crush on Smurfette ever since she was a real smurf, he's tried so many times to ask her out but he never had the courage to do so, and when he does, she's either busy or sent to gather some ingredients for Papa Smurf with the others, but he had the feeling that today would be the day he would have the chance to ask her once and for all. Then Papa Smurf, the former leader of the Smurfs, came out of his house to give an announcement to his fellow Smurfs.

"Good morning to you all my little Smurfs"

"Good morning Papa Smurf" All the smurfs said in unison to receive their beloved Papa Smurf.

"Today seems to be a smurfy day to do some work on Smurf bridge, so grab all your shovels and picks and let's go!"

"Yes, Papa Smurf"

All the smurfs gathered their tools and followed Papa to the bridge. While walking to the bridge, Smurfette was talking with Vanity about fashion and beauty tips, but Hefty was a few feet away from her, he couldn't stop admiring her, but Handy was walking next to Hefty had noticed his behavior, he sort of had the idea of what he was looking at, but he could be wrong, although it wouldn't hurt to ask him.

"Hefty?"

Hefty jumped a bit when he heard his best friend call him.

"Uh, yeah Handy?"

"I've noticed you've been acting little strange these past few days, what's smurfing?"

"Uh, well, you see uh…"

"…It's about Smurfette, right?"

"What? N-n-n-no! I mean…" Hefty got a little red after hearing that, he knew Handy was smart, but not to notice this so quick.

"Hefty, if wanna ask her out, why don't you?"

"I don't know, I just don't think I have the pants to do it"

"But Hefty, you're the bravest and strongest smurf there is! How can this take you down?"

"Because… what if she says no?"

"Well…you never know until you try"

They finally arrived to the Smurf Bridge to begin their busy day, as always, Papa Smurf ordered all the smurfs their duty and began the repairs.

Hefty was carrying all the logs they'd need to replace the old and wasted ones on the bridge, he once again saw Smurfette as she helped Brainy and Clumsy untie theirselves from a wrong knot Clumsy made. He thought that maybe was a good opportunity to ask her know but he didn't want the other smurfs hear him, they'd think he'd gone soft, so he decided to leave it for later.

4 hours of hard work and the smurfs finished the repairs of the bridge, they were ready to go back to the village and have a break, so they all headed back but before Hefty left, Handy was talking with Papa Smurf about something, but when Papa was a little distracted Handy made Hefty a few signs saying 'GO AND ASK HER!' , so, listening to his best bud, he got the courage he lacked the last days and headed towards her.

He poked her shoulder a few times to get her attention. "Uh, Smurfette?"

Smufette, with all innocence turned to see the strong smurf, "Oh Hefty, hi. Is something wrong?"

"Well, I uh… wanted to tell-well ask you- something…"

"Oh… well, what is it?" she was a little confused at first.

"I just…uh…wanted to know …if…you…IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME?"

Smurfette was a little freaked out at first when he yield it out, but when she heard what he asked her, she was a surprised, Hefty asked her out on a date, she didn't know this would happen to her, and she didn't know what to say.

"Oh… well…of course, I'd love to, Hefty"

Hefty was really happy, he was relieved and more importantly he was excited, he finally had the chance to ask her out and accepted.

"REALLY? Great! So, whadda you say tomorrow in at noon?"

"Sounds smurfy. See you tomorrow" she gave him a wink and headed back to the village. Hefty was so happy that he didn't even move, he waved at Handy and gave him thumbs up in a way to tell him that he did it and she said yes, Handy gave him thumbs up too.

And so, they headed back to the village.
