Hello everyone. Here is chapter 2. I hope that you will enjoy it :)
I had finished looking around Brainy's Mushroom house when I saw Hefty sitting on a stool with an helmet on his head that displayed what appeared to be pictures of traits that each of us, Smurfs, are known to have as well as inspirations for our names.
Hefty was having a good time waiting patiently and he was very happy to see me as well as Smurfette when he saw us as he greeted Smurfette in his normal voice, but, he quickly switched it to an more flirty sort of voice that made me roll my eyes as I smiled.
Smurfette and I turned our attention back to Brainy as he began explaining what he was doing and it was quickly revealed that he is trying to find Hefty's trait and if it works, then, it would an amazing success for Brainy and his work.
"So, basically, if I can find Hefty's trait" said Brainy in his usual 'smart' tone. "Then, basically, I can use it to create a liquid powder".
"That's cool, Brainy, it really is" said Smurfette before she looked at me. "What do you think, Honesty?".
"I think it's cool, too, Smurfette" I said as I put an hand on her shoulder. "Also, it could very well, come in handy".
Smurfette smiled at me and I glad returned it before we turned our attention to Hefty as the helmet started up, although, me and Smurfette were called by Brainy to take cover behind the shield which we did without hesitation and watched as the helmet did it's thing.
It took only a few minutes until it the helmet managed to pick out Hefty's trait which had a picture of a heart that was very similar to the ones that are on both of his shoulders and the experiment was clearly a success for both Brainy and Hefty.
I was very impressed by how successful Brainy's experiment was and I also started to wonder if it can solve the mystery of Smurfette since a lot of the other Smurfs had absolutely no idea what a 'Smurfette' is or what trait it is known for.
Brainy gave Smurfette an bottle of Hefty's amazing strength and he got behind the shield where he gave the all-clear, but, Smurfette wasn't so sure about the idea as she opened the bottle only to have Clumsy come into the room at the same time.
Unfortunely, that resulted in the bottle flying out of Smurfette's hand and it ended up hitting the wall of Brainy's Mushroom house while causing an explosion, but, luckily it was small and after that, we greeted Clumsy before having to stop Nosy Smurf from being-well-nosy.
I had just started a conversation with Clumsy when we saw that Smurfette was hoping to find out what the helmet can do for her as well as hoping that it can solve the constant problem of the simple question that has clearly been haunting her for a long, long, time.
"Hey, if the helmet can tell what trait Hefty is" said Smurfette as she put on the helmet. "Then maybe, the helmet can tell me what an ette is".
"That's a good point, Smurfette, I must admit" I said before turning to Hefty. "Let's hope that, the helmet can help solve the mystery".
"You and me, both, Honesty, you and me, both" agreed Hefty as he nodded in agreement. "This whole mystery of what she is, has been plaguing her, hasn't it?".
"It Smurf has, Hefty, it Smurf has" I said in our usual Smurf language. "The poor girl just can't seem to get a break from it".
Hefty once again nodded in agreement, but, we turned our attention back to Smurfette who told Brainy to activate the helmet and we got behind cover as we watched the helmet while hoping that the entire mystery of what a Smurfette is can be solved once and for all, although, it was very clear, it wasn't going that way.
The room suddenly went a bit dark as many of Brainy's equipment started moving towards Smurfette and the whole room seemed to be shaking which lasted for a few more minutes until it suddenly stopped and the traits pictures disappeared and we even saw Smurfette absorb the energy from the helmet.
I was one of those that was absolutely shocked at what I just saw and it was very impressive, although, it still didn't answer the question of what is a Smurfette and I quickly looked at Brainy and Hefty as well as Clumsy to see if they are alright before looking at Smurfette who was concerned.
"Whoa, fascinating" said Brainy in shock as he walked towards Smurfette.
"What happened?" asked Smurfette as she still looked concerned.
"Instead of the energy coming out" said Brainy as he took the helmet off Smurfette. "You absorbed it, it's probably because you are not a real-".
"A real Smurf?" asked Smurfette knowing that is exactly what Brainy was going to say. "Go ahead, you can say it".
"No" said Brainy as he tried to tell Smurfette in a less insulting manner. "I'm just saying that this machine wasn't built for your...origins".
"It's ok, I understand" said Smurfette as she became depressed.
"Brainy" said Hefty as he admonished Brainy before walking over to Smurfette. "You know what, let's go and have some fun".
"Yeah" agreed Smurfette as she became happy again instantly.
"SMURFBOARDING!" we shouted, although, Clumsy had to catch up a bit.
One by one, we started to make our way out of Brainy's Mushroom house and I reached out an hand to Smurfette to help her down and she, happily, took it as we began following Brainy, Hefty and Clumsy as we went to get our respective Smurfboard.
After getting our Smurfboards, we began walking to the nearby forest as we searched for a suitable area to ride our Smurfboards and during the trip I saw Hefty giving a smile as well as a thumbs up and I knew what he meant which caused me to smile back as well as return the thumbs up gesture.
