"Crap... I'm officially lost." I groaned, looking around at the never ending trees. I went on a trip alone for the first time, and now I've been lost for hours. It was definitely getting dark out. I started walking through the forest, looking for a house or something that I could stay in or at least ask for some help to get back to the city. I eventually came to an old looking tower of some sort. I quickly ran to the door and knocked, eager to have some human interaction. An ugly old man opened the door and he had a cat by his feet. "What do you want?" He asked me harshly. I was startled by his tone. "I... I got lost, and now it's getting dark out. Do you know the direction back to town?" I asked him calmly. "No, now go away." He glared at me. I took a step back, this guy freaked me out. "I was just asking..." I said meekly. Just as he was going to shut the door, the cat by his side nudged him, as if to remind him about something, and he looked like he remembered something. "On second thought... come in." He moved out of the way.
My intuition told me to run, but he's the first human I've ran into, so I feel like I have no choice. I gingerly walked into his house and he shut the door. "Are you thirsty?" He asked me. "Yeah, really thirsty, and hungry... I haven't had anything to eat or drink since before I went into the forest and got lost." I said to him. "Alright, Azrael, watch her as I make her a drink." The man said to his cat and walked out of the room. I had a very bad feeling about all of this, but I feel like I'm going to die of thirst if I don't drink anything. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, and I looked at the cat. It had a strangely evil look on it's face, which put me more on edge.
A few minutes later he walks back in. "Er... what's your name?" I asked him. "Gargamel. Now, here, drink this." He told me and handed me the cup. I looked down and it looked like a weird color. "Is this juice...?" I asked him. "Yeah." He said to me, "Now drink up. You said you were thirsty, didn't you?" "I-I did." I said to him and took another deep breath to calm myself down. This guy definitely is sketchy, but I can't deny that my throats burning for something to drink. I think I just have to take my chances. I carefully raised the cup to my lips and started gulping down the drink he gave me. It took me a few moments to realize that it tasted really weird. I quickly pulled the cup away from my mouth and Gargamel was laughing evilly. "Now, you'll be a smurf and you can lead me to their village!" He said happily. "W-wait, what?! What is a smurf even?!" I asked him, panicked and dropped the cup on the ground.
He gave me a smirk. "You'll find out, soon enough." Just after he said that, the world got a lot bigger and I looked down at myself, I was blue and I had on a white dress and had white shoes on. I checked and I still had my red hair on my head. I let out a scream and he started laughing again. "And, if you don't lead me to the smurf's village, you'll make an excellent snack. Won't she, Azrael?" The cat nodded his head and licked his lips. I started shaking my head and walked backwards. I started running and I climbed up onto his table. "Azrael! After her so she doesn't escape!" Gargamel shouted. Azrael let out a meow and darted after me. I jumped out the window without a thought about it and ran through the forest, and I eventually lost the cat. I leaned up against a tree branch to catch my breath. My heart was pounding so hard in my chest, I thought it would explode. I gulped loudly.
It was soon the morning and I was wandering around, not having a single clue where to go. Just as I was going to give up, I heard laughter. I cautiously stuck my head through a bush I was beside. I saw two of those smurf things, one had a flower on his hat and he was carrying a mirror, and the other was a girl with blonde hair. I was still shaken up by what happened the night before so I tried to quietly walk towards them without being noticed, but I stepped on a branch, making a loud cracking sound. I froze in place and I managed to get the attention of both of them. "Hm? Who's this?" The one with the flower on his hat asked. The girl looked over at me and gave me a smile. "She's another Smurf." The girl said and walked over to me. I guess this is what smurfs look like. I think she realized how tense I was. "What's wrong?" She asked me nicely. "I... I'm new to this." I managed to tell her. "New to what?" She asked me, confused. I sighed. "I'm new to being a smurf."
"Huh?" She asked me. "You see... I was a human, but I ran into this guy named Gargamel, and he turned me into a Smurf. He wanted to use me to track you guys down or something? Anyways, then I got away from him, somehow, now I ended up here and I heard you guys laughing at something." I responded to her. They both gasped and looked at each other. I gave them a puzzled look. "I'll explain to you later, we should get you to the village. I'm Smurfette, by the way, and that other smurf that's with me is Vanity." She said to me. We all three walked back to the village. "What's your name, by the way?" Smurfette asked me as we walked into the village. "Oh... my name is Cindy." I answered. Smurfette smiled. "That's a lovely name." She said to me. I smiled a bit. "Thank you." I responded to her.
All of a sudden a smurf with glasses approached us. "Hey, Brainy, do you know where Papa Smurf is?" Smurfette asked the smurf. Brainy looked at me. "Yeah, he's in his house, who's this?" He asked. "Oh, she's a human turned smurf that me and Smurfette ran into on our walk." Vanity answered. I looked at him and he was checking himself out in his mirror. "Wha? A human turned smurf? How is that even possible...?" Brainy asked. "Thanks Brainy!" Smurfette said and grabbed me by the arm and ran me to Papa Smurf's house, and she knocked on the door. "Papa Smurf!" She yelled out to get his attention. "What is it Smurfette?" I heard him answer through his door and he answered it. The first thing I noticed about him was his beard and his red clothing. "Hm? Who's this?" He asked. "Oh... She said that she was once a human, but Gargamel turned her into a smurf so she could lead him to our village, but she got away from him." Smurfette answered. "A human?" Papa Smurf asked and looked at me.
I nodded. "Yeah... I was a human, and I didn't even know what Smurfs were, even after I was turned into one by him, I still wasn't entirely sure, but then I ran into Smurfette and Vanity." I explained. "What was your name?" Papa asked me. "Cindy." I told him. "I'm not entirely sure if I can turn you back into a human, but I'm sure you'll enjoy your time in Smurf Village as long as you stay here." He gave me a smile. "Yeah, I'll make sure of it." Smurfette smiled.
"Smurfette, why don't you show her your house?" Papa Smurf suggested. "Yeah, that's a great idea, and maybe she can stay with me for a while, too, as we're figuring stuff out." Smurfette smiled and she started taking me to her house. On our way there, I saw a Smurf holding a present. I curiously looked at him and he walked up to us. "Who's the new Smurf?" He looked at Smurfette. "Oh, this is Cindy Smurf, she was once a human, and Cindy, this is Jokey Smurf." She introduced us. He gave me a smile and held the present out to me. "Well then, this is my welcome surprise for ya." I took the present and smiled back at him, "Thanks." I said back to him and opened it, only for it to blow up in my face. He burst out laughing. "Jokey! Why would you do that to a new Smurf in the village?!" Smurfette asked him, clearly annoyed, but I let out a chuckle. "Don't worry about it, Smurfette." I said to her
They both looked at me, confused, mostly Jokey. "Huh?" He asked. I laughed a bit, "I like a good prank now and then, you sure got me." I said to him. "Wait a minute... you like jokes?" Jokey asked me. I nodded. He smiled, "Wow... who would've thought..."
