Chapter 21
It seemed like after Christmas came and gone just like that because now it was Spring and the snow had started to melt. "Ah," Tracker sighed as he sniffed the air "the first smurfberries shall be ready with in a week or two."
"Really?" Greedy asked starting to rub his tummy "oh boy I can't wait, the first ones are always the best."
"Well we best be getting to work the dam," Tracker said
The Smurfs all headed out to make sure the dam was strong enough to with hold the water from the melting snow. Papa Smurf stood back to watch over his Smurfs with the Smurflings, "No..no..no..Clumsy," Brainy said shaking his head taking the hammer away from him and showing him how he should hold it "you were doing it all wrong, in fact if you did it that way you were going to hurt yourself or someone else."
"Ah, Gee thanks Brainy," Clumsy said as he took the hammer from his friend "you are a true friend."
"Yeah well wouldn't want anysmurf hurt," Brainy breathed under his breath "especially me."
Tracker stopped work at once and started to smell the air "What is it my little Smurf?" Papa asked seeing him very alert.
"I...sniff..sniff...I smell more Smurfs," he replied
"More Smurfs!" the others gasped.
"Oh Papa Smurf," Smurfette said rushing over to the elder Smurf "you don't think it's Mama Smurfette again do you?"
"I certainly hope not," he replied "quickly everysmurf gather round."
Everysmurf gathered around Papa at once "I need volunteers to go with Tracker and find these other Smurfs."
"I'll do it," Hefty said stepping forward
"And me," Sir Smurfy said raising his sword
"I'll go too," Jokey added
"Jokey are you sure?" Papa asked staring at him with a concerned look.
"Yes," he replied
"Alright," Papa sighed "go and be very careful my little Smurfs.
"Yes Papa Smurf," they replied as they followed Tracker to find these Smurfs he smelled. "What if it is Mama Smurfette?" Jokey asked nervously.
"If it is I give something to Smurf about," Hefty said cracking his knuckles
"You have nothing to worry about," Sir Smurfy added "I shan't let any harm come to you or our family."
Hefty and Tracker just shook their heads, Sir Smurfy may have been annoying most of the time but at least he had a heart and they were proud to have him as part of the family.
Tracker stopped "They are just north but they are heading this way."
Hefty looked around "Quickly," he said "let's smurf up this tree."
The four Smurfs climbed up to the first branch and waited for the trespassers to smurf on by. It did not take long before they heard the voices of two strange male Smurfs approaching. "So where are we going to smurf now?" one asked
"Look you stop smurfing the same questions over and over," the other answered
"I'm sorry," the first one sighed before getting exited "maybe we can find some place that appreciate my sense og humor."
Hefty and the others watched as the two Smurfs came into view then Sir Smurfy leaped down leaving the other three up there to roll their eyes. "HALT!" he shouted "Who be ye?"
The two Smurfs exchanged weird looks before the one on the left bursted in to a laughing fit "Look!" the other one hissed trying his best to push past the Smurf that was blocking his way "You be in my way."
"I shan't allow to pass," Sir Smurfy said yielding his sword
"Stop it!" the laughing one laughed "you're smurfing me."
"Who be ye Smurf?" Sir Smurfy asked
"Yeah," Hefty added as climbed down the tree with other two close behind.
"We be lost," the laughing Smurf answered
"Lost you say?" Tracker asked "We did you Smurfs smurf from?"
"Well if it's any of you business," the Smurf on the right said "we were smurfed out of our village and are now loners."
"Why were smurfed out of your village?" Hefty asked
"Who knows?" they shrugged
"What are your names?" Tracker asked
"My name is Rambunctious Smurf and this lauging fool is Prankster Smurf."
Hefty and Tracker exchanged looks both thinking the same thing, they already had one prankster and kinda a half of one. Jokey on the other hand was more welcoming "Why don't you Smurfs smurf back to our village and we'll let Papa Smurf decided what to do."
"Great," Prankster smirked
"We never got you names," Rambunctious said folding his arms
"Oh right," Jokey smiled "That Smurf with the heart on his arm is Hefty, the one in the armor is Sir Smurfy, he Tracker and I'm Jokey."
"Jokey," Prankster smiled "I think we'll smurf along just fine."
Back at the village Papa was not sure of them but yet he could not turn away a Smurf in need so he said they could stay for a little. At first Playful was happy that there was another pranking Smurf until she started to get left out a lot. "Can I come?" she asked as Prankster and Jokey prepared to smurf up ideas for new pranks.
"Sorry," Prankster said "but just us guys."
"But...?"
Jokey sighed as he looked back at his little protege "I'll be right there," he said as he walked back to Playful.
"Jokey how come I can't go?" she asked fighting back tears
"You can go next time," he smiled
She smiled back "Promise?"
"JOKEY!" Prankster called
"Ah...yeah ...sure," he said before rushing off with Prankster leaving Playful there all alone until next time but next time never seemed to come. Prankster always came up with a new excuse of why she could not go. "Sorry," Jokey whispered leaving her for the tenth time this week to be with his new friend. Rambunctious was not fitting in well with the other Smurfs he was just too mean and rude, like when he told Smurfette that her dress looked better before she put it on or that nobody cares about Vanity's looks. Papa Smurf called him into his lab one afternoon "So what seems to the problem?" he asked the Smurfs who complained about him.
"He called me unsmurfy in my dress," Smurfette sobbed
"Yeah and he said that nobody cares about my looks," Vanity added
"And he tried to start a fight with me," Brainy huffed
"I see," Papa said giving his chin a rub "well I'll see what I can do about it."
Rambunctious just smirked in the corner he did not care if they complained about him, they were just losers to him. Papa had a talk with Handy about maybe inventing something to help Rambunctious with this aggression and what Handy smurfed up was a large square with ropes tied around the edges ( similar to a boxing ring) and a fake Smurf dummy to punch, which Tailor made along with a big puffy mittens.
As Jokey and Prankster were returning home one afternoon Playful was waiting faithfully just outside the village "Jokey!" she smiled as she ran over to him.
"Hi Playful," he said hugging her
"Can we smurfs some jokes now?" she asked with a big grin.
"Sure," he replied
"YAY!" she cheered
Prankster stood back and smiled "Hey Playful," he said "we smurfed off on a bad start, want to start over?"
"Okay," she smiled
"Great," he replied holding out his hand for her to shake.
She was unaware that he was holding a shocker and when she took hold of his hand it shocked her really bad. She fell backwards and landed hard on the ground, her hand was stinging as she stretched her eyes to stop the tears from spilling out.
Prankster cracked up laughing "Stupid Smurfling," he laughed "get's them every time."
Jokey found himself getting upset over this because he had become very attached to her "That wasn't funny," he snapped shoving Prankster slightly.
"It's not my fault she can't take a joke," he laughed
Playful can't hold back her tears anymore and they fall from her eyes, she felt so hurt and embarressed but she couldn't help it.
"You shouldn't make Smurflings cry," Jokey snapped especially his Smurfling friend
"She's just being be a baby," Prankster said just waving them off. Jokey did not feel like arguing with him so he kneeled down beside her, she was holding her right hand sobbing.
"Let me see," he said softly holding out his hand
Playful hesitated at first before handing him her hand, he slowly turned it over to see a burn mark the size of her palm. "You burned her," he hisses turning back to Prankster who just started laughing again...Jokey could feel his blood starting to grow hotter under his skin as he feels the sudden urge to just knock this Smurf down to size but he holds himself back and just takes Playful in his arms.
"Where are w-we g-g-going?" she sobbed
"I'm taking you to go see Doctor Smurf," he replied.
Doctor Smurf examines her burn and rubs some ointment on it "There..there...there," he coos as he bandages it up "you'll be feeling like your old smurfy self soon."
Back outside Prankster starts his laughing fit back up when she emerges from Doctor's house "Come on," Jokey whispered holding her left hand "let's go down by The River Smurf."
"For what?" she asked
"I gonna show ya how to make the exploding presents on your own," he replied.
"Okay," she smiled back as she walked along side him.
"I'm sorry I've been ignoring you," he said giving her smile "can you forgive me?"
"Yes," she replied "I forgive you."
"Great," he replied "we'll always be best friends."
"Oh Jokey," she thought as they made their way down to the river "I wish I was older so you could like me back but I know that would never happen and I should just get go of this unsmurfy crush...But you're just so smurfy and I love you."
