A Hospital Room
"The spell is ready." Handy broke the silence and snapped Thia out of her train of thought. She looked down at the smurfs.
"I put in something that should smurf you and Brainy to our size, it will make it easier." Papa smurf said. Thia nodded. Papa smurf pulled a small vial out of a little bag and poured the contents on the floor. The floor began glowing and the world disappeared behind a swirl of time and space. No one noticed the doctor that had been standing in the doorway.
"Code Blue." The doctor murmured into the walkie-talkie in her hand and disappeared into the hallway.
Everyone closed their eyes to avoid a headache from so many sights at once. Finally, their ride came to a rearing halt.
Thia found herself in a forest. It wasn't exactly the kind of forest she was used to. There was a noticeable lack of pollution and litter, and it seemed unusually big. Suddenly it struck her. She looked down at herself to see she shrank to about the same height as the smurfs. She looked down to see a shrank-but-still-human Brainy. He was still comatose, and convulsing. The smurfs stood up and dusted themselves off.
"Home sweet home." Smurfette said in an attempt to be cheery, though she was failing miserably. Hefty carefully lifted Brainy.
"We should smurf to the village. I can research Brainy's illness then." Papa smurf said. Everyone nodded and Hefty started carrying Brainy and Thia just wordlessly followed. Thia looked at the sky; it was dark and for once, she saw stars in all their glory. She couldn't suppress a little gasp.
"What is it?" Smurfette asked. A ghost of a smile played on Thia's lips.
"I've never seen the stars before. They're beautiful." Thia said.
"Yes, yes they are." Smurfette agreed, an almost identical faint smile on her face. Thia looked forward again to see them coming to a village with houses made of mushrooms.
"Mushrooms…?" Thia asked hesitantly.
"Yes, we smurf our houses out of mushrooms." Handy said. Thia looked on curiously. Finally, they walked into the village itself. Thia felt very uncomfortable. She was starting to get nervous about how the other smurfs would react, I mean, they are all family! Suddenly, Greedy runs up to them.
"Oh! Guys, we were starting to get worried. We thought… who are they?" Greedy suddenly looked very confused as he gestured to the still-human-and-comatose Brainy and Thia. Thia bit her lip uncomfortably.
"Er, I'm Thia…" she murmured. Everyone except Greedy exchanged nervous glances.
"Greedy, I think you should smurf the other smurfs before we tell you what happened…" Clumsy said uneasily. Greedy frowned a little than rushed off to find everyone else. He quickly came back with all the other smurfs in tow.
"What happened Papa smurf? That human doesn't look very smurfy…" Farmer said, gesturing to Brainy.
"I'm afraid Farmer, he isn't healthy at all." Papa smurf said gravely. The smurfs were getting increasingly uneasy.
"That human… he's Brainy." Clumsy murmured.
"WHAT?!" all the on looking smurfs exclaimed at once. Thia flinched slightly. The smurfs looked closer at Brainy.
"Papa smurf, there must have been a mistake. Brainy isn't a human…" Sassette said.
"Hush my smurfs. I'm afraid it is Brainy." Papa smurf told them the story. Thia just stared at her feet.
"He may die…" Thia murmured after Papa smurf had finished. There was a shocked silence. Thia ducked away as fast as she could. She could never stand overly emotional displays. She was just walking along the path as a thin wail erupted from the place she just left. It was soon joined by other cries of helplessness and sorrow. Thia leaned against one of the mushroom houses and looked up at the stars. It wasn't fair to the smurfs. It wasn't fair to Brainy.
"Whatever you're cooking up, up there you had better stop it." Thia muttered to whomever resided in the stars.
