Later on, it was almost night time and the Smurfs were just about ready for the Annual Summer Festival to begin. Some began to start the rides as the others began playing games for prizes they put together.
Meanwhile, Handy walked by the rides to check if they were all working properly after all the work he put in them and clapped his hands together. "Well all's good so far."
The Smurflings were already riding the Ferris Wheel while Snappy sat with Slouchy and Nat sat with Sassette giggling and laughing. On one ride, Baby rode on the spinning cups with a few Smurfs while Smurfette held him. The inventor chuckled to himself and continued his way around the rides wondering what else was going on in the festival.
And as he wandered, he saw Papa looking around and looked very pleased that everything was all set for their activities to run tonight and for the next day.
"Oh, hey Papa Smurf!" Handy greeted him happily after seeing him come by.
"Oh! Hello, Handy! I see, everything you've done was a success. I'm very proud with the results." Papa smiled humbly to him.
"Thank you, Papa. I'm also glad that everything's working out just smurfy."
"Especially for everyone. This will be the best two nights we'll have throughout the summer. And with no interruptions from any intruders."
"I'm sure we will!" The craftsman smiled excitedly.
"Oh, also too, I overheard you slept in today?" The Smurf in red wondered.
After hearing what was said from their leader, Handy suddenly felt himself tense up at Papa's words and laughed nervously. "Oh! Uhh yes I did. My alarm clock didn't ring for some reason and when I woke up it was already late."
"Well, also too, you and Hefty did had a long journey getting the berries and back home. So, it's completely understandable. As long you got everything set, we're good to go." Papa placed a hand to his shoulder with a smile.
"We will, Papa Smurf." He smiled nervously at him and nodded.
"That's good to hear. Now go on, have fun. There's lots to do so make the best of it!"
"Oh sure, I'll be on my way. See you later, Papa!"
Papa then waved to him and saw nothing wrong, feeling a bit doubtful from what Brainy had told him the other day. But he seen nothing was happening... for now. All that he just wanted was for all his little Smurfs to be happy and have fun while the spell kept their home secure from the evil hands of Gargamel and his mangy cat Azrael. He then smiled and went on his way to try out some of the games they have for fun.
Soon after the grand elder left, Handy suddenly released the breath he didn't know he was holding and wiped his forehead saying, "Ugh, now it's getting uncomfortable talking to Papa Smurf..."
"Hey! Handy!" Hefty called from afar after he spotted him and waved.
"Huh? Oh, Hefty! Hey!"
Hefty quickly runs over to him and gives him a smile saying, "How's everything?"
"It's all fine so far. Just had a chat with Papa Smurf a minute ago."
"Looks like he's happy with the festival being a success."
"Yeah he is! Though..." Handy sighed as he continued, "it's getting uncomfortable talking to him now..."
"Hm? What did he say?" the muscleman asked curiously.
"Oh, he didn't say anything wrong or stuff like that. It's just that..." Then he gave him an annoyed look. "Brainy snitched... But he didn't take it like 'that'."
Seeing that his little lover was more worried of the situation on the whereabouts of them finding out too soon about their relationship, Hefty placed a hand on his shoulder and said to him, "Don't worry, I've got this handled. As long Brainy is stalled by Clumsy, he won't have t bother us."
"I hope so. He may not bother us, but what if he keeps insisting at Papa Smurf?"
"I don't know. But one thing for sure is, it's no doubt that he or anyone else saw what we've been doing."
"True." Handy looked down but shortly looked to Hefty. "Well, let's not worry about that today. Let's enjoy the festival."
"Yeah, I'm excited we don't have to do any work for a while." Hefty smiled happily to him.
"Thank smurfness hehe! So what do you wanna do first?"
"Umm... Maybe we can play some games and I can win a prize for ya."
"Oh that'd be smurfy!" The handyman cried excitedly and grabs his arm. "Come on! Your pick!"
The buffed Smurf chuckled as Handy takes him over to the game booths. "How about one of the tossing games?"
"That sounds like a smurfy idea!"
"Alright! Let's go!" Hefty said as Handy giggled and followed him excitedly.
Elsewhere, Brainy saw Hefty and Handy going over to the game booths and noticed them holding hands. He knew something was up with them, even though he didn't have any proof after that disaster when he went to go follow them on their journey to get the remaining ingredients for the invisibility to work. And after going through the trouble just to get a snap shot of them which he failed on. But as he watched them, he soon began to talk to himself.
"I just know those two are up to something. They've been acting real strange around each other lately. At least Papa Smurf knows of this situation. If there's proof, there's no telling what would happen or what Papa might think of this 'act'. It's only a matter of time until someone confesses or shows it. Maybe I should keep my eye on them just in case so Papa can see for himself sooner."
Meanwhile, Handy was eagerly watching Hefty playing one of the tossing games and saw the big prize he won just for him. One Smurf who was holding the game then handed Hefty a huge stuff sized teddy bear. It was nearly as big as a regular sized Smurf!
"You were amazing, Hefty!" Handy cheered.
"Ah, it's all in the wrist and a bit of elbow grease that does the trick." Hefty said holding out the big stuffed sized bear to him.
"It's so smurfy! And soft!" the little Smurf hugged it tight.
"Thank smurfs for Tailor! He's the Smurf who can do just about anything!"
"Yeah he can! And make them look so good!"
"Not as good as you." Hefty whispered in his ear.
Handy blushed and giggled at what he said and nudged him playfully. "Oh you..."
"Hehehe! So, anything else you wanna smurf?"
"Well you've been asking for it a lot, so why not go to the Smurf-Walk Café?" He smiled to him.
"It's open?!" Hefty's eyes widened happily, "What are we smurfin' around here for? Let's go!" He then takes him by the hand and hurriedly goes there with him.
"Hey, slow down!" Handy laughed out loud but followed him.
As he was walking by, the Smurf in the black round glasses sees them leave when they were already heading to the café. But when he was just about to go there too, he didn't know that Clumsy was close by. Not too far, the klutzy Smurf looked around for Brainy until he spotted him close by and ran over to him.
"Oh hey, Brainy!"
Brainy suddenly heard his name being called by that familiar voice he knows of and let out a distracted sigh. He turned around as he saw his 'friend' come by. "Oh, hi Clumsy."
"Good that I found ya, Brainy." He chuckled at him. "Uh, I wanted to see if ya wanna get on a ride!"
"Me? Well, I was gonna go to the Smurf-Walk Café to get smurf cream and..."
"Aw come on, Brainy! It'll be fun!" Clumsy yanked him and dashed off with him to a random ride in order for him to stay away from Hefty and Handy.
"O-Okay...! If you insist!" The know-it-all Smurf was annoyed that he had to go on a ride with Clumsy but didn't know that he was doing the guys a favor so he wouldn't ruin their night.
Meanwhile, with the brains and the brawn Smurfs, they made it to the Smurf-Walk Café and saw the many Smurfs already there enjoying themselves to the smurf cream that Handy and Greedy had made some time ago and chatting about different subjects.
"Whoa, you guys sure packed some new flavors!" Hefty said reading the menu on the sign.
"Well Greedy mostly, he wanted to experiment with different berries to see what came out. And he did a good job!" Handy replied.
"Hmm... There's so many, I don't know which one to choose! What do you think is the best flavor to get?
"Well I like the wild berries one, why not try that one?"
"Okay! Guess I'll give it a whirl." Hefty smiled.
"Sounds great!" They then made their way to order their smurf cream at the café and took a seat at a nearby table.
"Thanks, Handy. You're the best." the bulked Smurf said as he leans his side against the table.
"Anything for you." The genius Smurf gave him a cheeky smile with a blush while Hefty blushed slightly as well and looked to his face admiring his cuteness.
Handy chuckled a bit and then asked, "How's the day so far?"
"Just smurfy." He replied. "I really love how this is going so far."
"That's good. After this let's see what else we can do."
"I don't mind goin' on a few rides with ya."
"Aw, that sounds like a great idea! We'll see which we can get on first!"
"Sure thing, Handy!" Hefty smiled to him.
As they talked, another Smurf came by and brought them a tray with their smurf cream. It looked delicious. Two well sized cups with colorful cream and whipped cream on top just waiting to be eaten. Handy then took his straw and smiled at Hefty.
"Bottoms up!" He said to him.
Hefty took his straw as he goes to take the first taste of his smurf cream as Handy did so as well when he took a small sip at it and then looked to him. "So? ...What do you think?" Handy asked.
Hefty was all of a sudden quiet for a minute as he looked to his smurf cream after taking the first sip. "Handy... This... is amazing!"
"I'm so glad you liked it!" The Smurf laughed.
"Better than the last time we've had it!"
"We hope that this it'll stay open from now on."
"I hope so too. I'll have to smurf here every day if I have to!" Hefty chuckled.
"You'll be our number one customer!"
"Hahaha! Well, I'm already you're number one!"
"Oh yes you are, hehe!"
Hefty later then takes another sip of his smurf-shake and looks to Handy with an admirable expression.
"You sure liked it, huh?" Handy said with a chuckle.
"It's very sweet. But I see something sweeter." the handsome Smurf winked to him.
"Oh..." Handy blushed as he turned away with a giggle.
Hefty chuckled and decided to rub one foot against Handy's leg with no one watching. When the Smurf felt it, he smirked at him when he decided to do the same. The strong Smurf felt goosebumps appear from his touch and blushed more as he took another sip of his shake. The slightly-built Smurf twirled the straw in the shake and smiled at him while the other laughed a little at his actions still rubbing his foot more against him.
"So, anything else happened after our little trouble with you know who?" Hefty asked.
"Well no, just the chat with Papa and that's pretty much it." He replied. "Also went to check on how the rides were working so far."
"That's good. All I did was help put the rest of the props together for the little show that they have goin' on later. Other than that, I kept thinking about you."
"Same here..." Handy lovingly sighed.
Hefty smiled sweetly to him and goes to finish more on his shake as Handy took a few more sips and finished. "That was good!"
"It really hits the spot!" Hefty said.
"It sure does! With a smurfy evening like this it made it even more delicious!"
"Ditto! Well..." Hefty got up from his seat before he continued, "I'm just about ready to smurf some rides, are you?"
"Sure am! You pick the one you want! They're all guaranteed to be a smurfload of fun!"
"I got one! How 'bout the roller smurfer?"
"Sounds good!" Handy got up quickly and said, "Come on before the line gets longer!"
Meanwhile after they had left, Brainy walked his way over to the café feeling woozy after riding the roller coaster with Clumsy and sick to his stomach. But when he got there, he was already too late for Hefty and Handy already left.
"That's the last time I ever smurf on the roller smurfer... Ohhhh..." Brainy moaned in agony.
"Golly, that sure was fun, huh Brainy?" Clumsy chuckled.
"Define 'fun', cause I'm about to smurf..." Brainy moaned more feeling queasy.
"Okay, Brainy! You stay here while I get us some milkshakes!"
Clumsy had then dashed off to get some milkshakes until Brainy held onto his mouth already about to lose his lunch after hearing what he said.
"I better smurf outta here before he gets back. Looks like they've already gone."
With that, the spectacled Smurf hurriedly goes to leave when afterwards, Clumsy eagerly took the shakes and went back to where Brainy was. "Hey Brainy! Uh, I got us some..." But he then realized that Brainy was already nowhere to be found and wondered. "Hey, where'd he go?"
Brainy managed to lose him and goes to find where Hefty and Handy had gone. But once he found out where they were headed, he nearly fainted. "Oh no, not that again...!"
Handy was eagerly waiting in line with Hefty until he said, "You sure you'll be able to handle it? I made it super-fast!" He teased with a smirk.
"Hehehe! I can handle anything you can dish out at!" the stud replied. "Especially anything super-fast!"
"Well it's good to see you'll handle it! Oh! We're almost there!"
"Haha, I cannot wait!"
"I can't imagine how Handy would make such a ride go that incredibly fast." Brainy said from afar after he had just gotten off that ride not too long ago. "I don't think my stomach could handle it the second time...!"
After a while, they finally made it to the ride and got a good spot at the front of the seats, they buckled up and waiting anticipated for it to start. And before they knew it, the ride made a small push and finally railed away to the top. Handy bounced happily as he glanced at Hefty who waved his arms in the air having the time of his life and laughed.
Brainy just watched from where they were riding and had already felt dizzy from the ride going so fast in how he had went when he was on there. His head was beginning to spin when he nearly passed out seeing the roller coaster going really fast.
On the roller coaster, Handy laughed out loud and raised his arms up while he threw his head back while Hefty placed his hands back on the railing and turned to Handy as he was having fun just being with him. Once the ride finally ended, they made their way to the exit and Handy couldn't help but laugh at what fun they had.
"That was so smurfy!"
"Whoa man!" Hefty cried out. "That was so fun, I think I can go for another round, haha!"
"If you wanna I'm with you all the way!"
"Alright, let's get to it!"
The nerdy Smurf looked over to them as they were heading to go on again and couldn't even bear to watch anymore and slumped to the ground. As they got on, the Smurf once more held on to the bigger Smurf tight with joy on his face at the fun they were having. Brainy wasn't able to see the bonding going on as he laid flat on the ground, fainted. On the ride, Hefty looked to Handy as he smiled, enjoying the second ride with him.
A few minutes had passed and then the ride was just about over when the two finally got off. "Phew! All that laughing and screaming got me exhausted!" Handy said after the ride.
"Aww c'mon I was just gettin' warmed up!" Hefty said feeling his adrenaline running. "It felt nice when you were hangin' on me the whole time."
"Well there were parts where I did feel I needed to hold on to someone." the handyman chuckled.
"Hehehe, you are just something, Handy!"
"And you're my everything."
Hefty then felt his eyes light up and gave him a warm smile with Handy giving him a cheeky smile in return.
"I don't know what I'd do without you." Hefty spoke. "You've always been there for me even if I was down."
"You've done the same for me, that's all I need from you." Handy replied.
Then the strong Smurf sighed happily and took his hand as they walk off to find another ride they could go on. The builder Smurf gladly followed him to look as well what other ride got their attention.
Meanwhile, Clumsy went looking for Brainy as he found him unconscious on the ground. He quickly ran to him and aided his side to make sure he was alright as the spectacled Smurf moaned.
"Brainy! Brainy!" he cried. "Oh golly! Are you alright?!"
"Ohhh... Wha...? What in smurfs happened...?" Brainy gained his conscious back.
"Phew! Thank smurfness yur alright! You passed out I think."
"Ohh... Thanks, Clumsy. It really must've been something I smurfed."
"I think so, Brainy. Uh, you wanna go home?"
"I think I'll be alright. Just need to get my bearings. Can you help me up?"
"Oh, sure Brainy." Then the accident-prone Smurf carefully got him and helped him up.
"Thank you." The Smurf apprentice adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat.
"So uh, where you wanna go?" Clumsy asked.
"Away from the rides that's for sure." Brainy was definitely done with Smurf rides for one day after just going on one. "I don't think I'm gonna go on another for the rest of the evening."
"Oh uh, okay Brainy. Wanna sit down?"
Brainy didn't want to hurt Clumsy since he was in his way of trying to spy on the other two Smurf, but felt since he helped him out, he could use a small rest and sighed. "I don't see why not."
"Alright, Brainy. Just hold on t'me tight and we'll find a bench somewhere." Clumsy smiled at him.
The brainiac then held on to him still feeling a little sick. He hadn't realized how much Clumsy has been to him helping him out whenever he needed him. Later Clumsy finally spotted a free bench and made his way over. Once he set Brainy down on the bench, he looked to him and said, "Oh, I'm gonna go get ya some water. Be right back!"
"No problem." Brainy replied back.
And as Clumsy went off to get him some water from the well, the other Smurf sighed and slumped on the bench. "What's the use?" he began. "Every time I want to investigate on those two, something always gets in the way. Maybe if Papa is able to find out for himself his way, I won't have to worry about having to deal with any more problems."
Afterwards, Clumsy came back with a big cup of water saying, "Here ya go, Brainy."
"Thanks."
Brainy took the cup from him and slowly sipped some of it as he glanced among the crowd who were having fun. The innocent Smurf then sat next to the Smurf in glasses and remained silent for a little while watching the crowd. Soon the nerd's eyes turn to Clumsy and felt very content even though he couldn't stand having him around at times; he was still someone he could look up to who was loyal and mostly his only friend. Clumsy then gave out a quiet sigh until he turned to Brainy and gave him a smile once he noticed he was looking at him.
Once Clumsy noticed him, Brainy looked down to his cup and traced the edge with his fingertip stuttering, "Umm..."
"Uh, yeah Brainy?"
"Nothing. I'm just so caught up about the other day. I told Papa last night what I had seen, but he said he still needs possible proof whether or not these two are in a relationship.
Clumsy had then felt himself frown at what Brainy was talking about. He did see that Hefty and Handy DID share something, but he felt bad that he was hiding it from Brainy. Because he knew that if told him he'd go directly to Papa Smurf.
"And to be honest, I don't know how I would feel if two Smurfs were to feel the same way." Brainy said. "It's all so confusing and yet so very different."
"Uh... would it be alright to accept it?"
"That's the answer I do not know. That's why I must know from Papa if it's okay or not to commit such a thing."
"Well uh... I'd accept it."
"R-really?" Brainy's eyes widened as he looked to him after hearing what the Smurf just said.
"Sure uh, Papa Smurf says there's no rules in love. So why judge?"
"Just like how impossible Handy's love was for that mermaid?"
"But they tried to make it work."
"You're right about that. But what if he and Hefty could make that work with each other?"
"Uh, then I'd feel happy fur'em."
"Hmm... I'm still a bit skeptical about it. I shouldn't say it's a bad thing, but it's something I never came across before."
"Maybe we should let happ'n. Could be a good thing in the end."
"But I do still wonder how Papa Smurf is going to take if this was really happening."
"But Brainy, he's Papa Smurf he loves us all like we are."
"Yes, he does love all his Smurfs. But we'll see when that day comes."
Clumsy had then frowned and looked away. Brainy's words were getting him doubtful about Papa Smurf's reaction to Hefty and Handy's new relationship. But he had still hoped that their father would accept it for when he would find out sooner or later.
Meanwhile, Hefty and Handy were on the Ferris Wheel having more fun as they suddenly stop at the top, seeing a whole view of Smurf Village.
"Wow...!" Hefty exclaimed. "You can smurf everything from up here! You really outdid yourself, Handy!"
"Made it high enough so we could get a good view." Handy said. "And I'm glad you're enjoying it so far."
"You kiddin'? I'm having a blast! Everything looks so smurfy you can almost smurf the whole forest!"
"And it's good to have this view with you.・ the mechanic smiled to him.
"I second that!" the tough Smurf looked to him with a cheeky grin with Handy in return covering his mouth hiding a smile with a giggle. "Hehehe, you're just too cute!" Hefty said.
"And you're a hunk of Smurf!"
Hefty then placed an arm around Handy's shoulder and pulled him into an embracive hug as Handy happily hugged him back. "And what's this for?" the little Smurf asked.
"For bein' adorable, hehe!"
"Aww!" Handy laughed more. "Oh you!"
The muscular Smurf then chuckled more and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before the Ferris Wheel started moving again. The inventor Smurf smiled to him sweetly and as they road little longer until they finally reached the bottom. He along with Hefty got off and kept that same smile. This night was now becoming more than just fun at the amusement park. It was now less like a date.
As they left, Smurfette had noticed them while she was standing in line to go on the Ferris Wheel with Vanity. Grouchy was with them and was holding Baby Smurf the whole time. Hefty smiled happily to Handy as they walked by while Smurfette saw how happy he was.
"It's good to see Hefty's alright." She said with a small smile.
"Come on, Smurfette! We're next!" Vanity said holding his mirror as he takes her hand for her to come along.
"Oh! Of course Vanity!" She then followed along and gave one quick last look at Hefty until the two sat down as the ride started to move making them airborne.
"Oh, I bet the view up at the top is just as lovely as I am! ...Well, almost." the narcissist Smurf said looking in his mirror adoring himself.
"Oh yes it is." Smurfette replied turning to him and giggled.
"And I bet Baby is having a smurfy time. Especially being with Grouchy who he can rely on."
"Yes, he needs to have some fun just like the other Smurfs. And what better fun than watching the smurfy view at the Ferris Wheel."
"Hey, Grouchy!" Vanity called down to the scowling grump from below who was also on the ride. "How's the view from up here? Doesn't just give you that smurfy feeling?"
"I hate 'that smurfy feeling'!" Grouchy retorted. "And I hate the view from up here!"
"Oh come on, Grouchy!" The girl with the long golden tresses said to him. "It's a very nice view of the forest. Look, even Baby's having a good time."
Knowing Grouchy, he looked down to Baby babbling and cooing happily until the little one looked up to him. He couldn't help but give a small smile at him even though he didn't care for anything else besides Baby. At least he was lucky to have him around to enjoy the night's festivities.
"So how are you enjoying this evening, Vanity?" Smurfette asked him.
"Simply wonderful, Smurfette! Everything is just as what we smurfed! And to believe that the smurf cream is back, I can't wait to try out the new flavors!"
"Me neither! I'd love to see what's on the new menu!"
"Handy and Greedy really outdone themselves when they first made them. Remember how that all turned out? It was crazy at first in who was the one who invented this idea."
"Oh yes." The girl rolled her eyes at the memory. "But it's good to see them work together again."
"Oh yes, and not have to worry about that anymore."
"That's true. So it's settled, once we're off the ride we'll go for some smurf cream!"
"My treat!"
Smurfette laughed at what he said and then continued to enjoy the ride with him before they were ready to get off.
