I slept on the bare floor throughout the night as Rick snuggles in with Dashie, when I woke up I found myself in the cot with a blanket covering me. I looked around the Command Center and saw Rick at radio equipment, doing paperwork. "Where's Dashie?" I asked.

Rick turned around and saw me looking straight at him, "She's getting breakfast," said Rick, "Thank you for getting through to her Smurfette, but I have to ask, how did you get through to her?"

"You don't wanna know." said Smurfette.

"Hrm," said Rick, "Well anyway, I'll be checking the bar she had been to last night. Since Dashie appears beaten up, she must had been into a bar fight."

I do not wanna tell Rick that I'd beat up Dashie in self-defense, since I also appeared beat up he might had thought I did it. At that moment, the front door opened and Chernov came walking through. I got out of the cot and ran up to him, giving him a big hug. He let out an oof in response when I hugged him, "I miss you Chernov," I told him, "I couldn't find you last night."

"I bet you miss your fellow smurfs even more," he said, "Judging by the reports I've seen about you Smurfette, you must be wanting to go back home."

"What happened at GSV 10?" I asked.

"Clearly you've gotten drunk," explained Chernov, "Green smurfs told me you danced around like a maniac and were running around like Gargamel high on something, its hard to describe these reports since the sources were drunk at the time."

"Oops." I muttered.

"Well it ain't entirely your fault, it was my fault for leaving you alone. When we get back, Papa Smurf would want to know what happened to you, he's not going to be happy at me about your condition."

"It had only been a day."

"And in just one day, you managed to get yourself a black eye."

"What!"

I rushed over to the mirror and looked at myself through it, sure enough my right eye was bruised, Dashie must had punched me there when we both fought. "Well at least it isn't swollen shut," said Chernov, "Or else you'll have problems seeing."

I also discovered that I had less noticeable bruises covering my arms and face, my white dress had grease stains covering it, I do recall falling onto the ground at GSV 10 so that must be where I got the stains. "You wanna go back home Smurfette?" Chernov asked.

"Yes," I replied, "But first, I need a bath."

"There's a public bath house nearby," said Chernov, "It's pretty much the only place where you can get clean."

I followed Chernov outside and down the paved road, we walked across GSV 1 and approached a spiderhole. I can see steam coming out of the spiderhole through the entrance. I looked through and saw that the entire spiderhole was a giant bathtub. It was all paved in concrete and had stone seats, the water was luke warm and well temperature controlled. A small hole through the roof of the spiderhole let sunlight in to light the place, and let in fresh air besides the door.

"There's a fire underneath this hot-tub," said Chernov, "It's responsible for heating up the hottub, they change the water daily to keep it clean so you shouldn't worry about contaminates of that sort."

"Okay," I said, "Thanks Chernov."

"Thank me for getting your dress washed," he said as he held out his hand, "Anytime Smurfette, anytime."

I hesitated at first, but I gave in. I ended up taking off my dress and handing it to him, "And the underwear." he said.

"You gotta be kidding me." I said.

"You have nothing to hide," said Chernov, "I know what to expect."

Embarrassed, I ended up taking off my panties and handing it to him. "Note that this is a public bath," said Chernov, "Not a private bath. So if someone wants to come in to wash, you let them. When you're done, meet me back at the Command Center. Don't be afraid of revealing yourself, green smurfs are used to nudity."

With that, Chernov walks off and left me alone. I placed my slippers and hat aside and quickly stepped into the bathtub, it calmed my muscles and nerves almost immediately. I sat back and began washing myself, trying to get all the grime off of my body from yesterday's hassle. As I was busy washing myself, I didn't notice somesmurf walking in until they jumped into the hot-tub. I let out a short cry as water splashed into my face, I looked up and saw that it was Sally, butt-naked.

"Mama!" she cheered as she let out a small smile, "It's great seeing you this morning."

"Sally, you've scared me!" I said.

"Calm down Mama," said Sally, "There's no reason to get all jumpy."

She went on washing all that dirt off her body, I watch as the mud oozes into the clear water as she continues to talk, "It was one rough party last night," said Sally, "With all the beer in all, I couldn't think straight once I got home. How many drinks did you have at that party by the way?"

"Just enough to get wasted." I said.

"Wasted? Wow, at least you didn't get alcohol-poisoning."

She went on talking for half an hour, about her job and several occasions with boys. Once I was just about done, Sally soon shared something I do not wanna hear, "Do you know that green smurfs mate in public baths?" said Sally, "Or even play with themselves?"

"Now I wanna get out." I said.

I managed to climb out of the hot-tub and grabbed a towel from the nearby rack, "Bye Mama!" said Sally.

I shut the door behind me and quickly dried myself, I soon wrapped the towel around my waist and head off to the Command Center. "This is embarrassing," I told myself, "Why would Chernov leave me naked?"

It was surprising to see that the green smurfs weren't staring at me, nor were they doing quick glances. They went on with their daily business, completely ignoring me. By the time I got back at the Command Center, Chernov was there with my dress, all fresh and clean. He hand it to me without question, along with my underwear. "The green smurfs at the laundry mat asked me who's clothes I'm washing," said Chernov, "I simply said your mom."

I quickly put on the underwear first before I put on the dress, I check to make sure I was all covered up. When I finished, Chernov placed his hand on my head. I froze, simply staring into his eyes. "Think before you act," he advised, "Or you'll make mistakes."

He withdrew his hand, I took a deep breath and sighed, "Why am I here again?"

"I took you here to the Green Smurf Colony in order to get your mind off of what happened back at the Smurf Village," said Chernov, "Now has it ever crossed your mind at all?"

"N-no." I replied.

"Then my work is done," said Chernov, "Let's go home Smurfette, your friends are waiting.
