It was a bright and sunny morning in Smurf village, and Smurfette was in Papa's house having tea, when there was a frantic knock on the door.
"Yes, who is it?" Papa asked.
The door opened, and Brainy stuck his head in.
"Hi Papa, are Grouchy or Gutsy around?" he asked.
"No."
"Great."
Brainy hastily ran inside and slammed the door shut, locking it.
"What's wrong?" Smurfette asked as she and Papa approached him.
"I smurfed a prank on them."
Papa and Smurfette's mouths dropped open.
"Are you smurfed? Why would you do that, are you tired of living?" Smurfette exclaimed.
"They started it! They left an exploding box outside my door!"
"How do you know it was them?"
"It had their names on it."
"Alright, so, what'd you do?"
Suddenly there was a loud banging on the door.
"Hey, open up in there!" they heard Grouchy yell.
"Hide me!" Brainy begged.
"We know you're in there, Brainy! Come out and take it like a Smurf!" Gutsy yelled.
"Go away!" Brainy yelled.
Gutsy and Grouchy kicked the door open, and stormed in. Brainy yelped and scrambled behind Papa and Smurfette. Gutsy and Grouchy had a set of handcuffs on attaching them to another Smurf.
"You handcuffed them to Smelly Smurf?" Smurfette asked in shock.
Smelly was the worst smelling Smurf in the village, even more so than Sloppy. He usually smurfed to himself in his mushroom, but came out for special occasions and such.
"Give us the key!" Gutsy shouted.
"Give them the key Brainy." Papa ordered.
"Please!" Smelly begged.
"Only if they promise to-"
Gutsy growled and lunged at him, yanking Grouchy and Smelly behind him. Brainy screamed and took off, leading to a full scale chase around Papa's house, while Papa and Smurfette were trying to calm every Smurf down.
"Guys, come on! Smurf down!" Smurfette yelled over Brainy's screams and Gutsy and Grouchy's shouts.
The duo finally caught Brainy when he tried to swerve around them, and shoved him against the wall, pinning his arms to it.
"Where's the key?" Grouchy growled.
"Pants pocket left side! Just let me go and I'll give it to you!" Brainy replied.
They let him go, and he hastily searched his pocket for the key. He pulled it out, and Gutsy swiped it from him. They unlocked the cuffs, and Smelly fled from the house screaming. Brainy attempted to sneak away, but Gutsy and Grouchy stopped him and shoved him back against the wall.
"You're not gettin' away that easily, laddie." Gutsy growled.
"Come on guys, we're even now! You left an exploding box outside my door, I handcuffed you to Smelly, we're even!" Brainy stammered.
"We didn't leave anything near your house!" Grouchy retorted.
"You didn't? But who else would-" Brainy trailed off for a moment. "JOKEY!"
Outside, Jokey burst into laughter upon hearing his shout.
Brainy glanced at Gutsy and Grouchy, and grinned nervously.
"Okay, so, now that we know this was all just a big…miss-smurferstanding, I'll just be going-"
Grouchy and Gutsy stopped him, pinning him to the wall again.
"Oh, you think just cuz you made a mistake we're gonna let you off the hook?" Grouchy asked.
"It was more of a hope than a thought."
"Well that's not how it's smurfin' down." Gutsy growled.
He and Grouchy started towards the door.
"You're gonna pay for this laddie, maybe not today or tomorrow, but we'll get you back."
"Y-you don't scare me." Brainy stammered.
Grouchy and Gutsy gave him a skeptical look. "Really?" Gutsy asked.
The duo turned and left, and Brainy glanced around. He grabbed a small cauldron and scrambled towards the bathroom.
"Are you gonna throw up in it?" Papa asked.
"Uh huh." Brainy whimpered, closing the door behind him.
