Hello again! Time for the disclaimer- I do not own The Smurfs or Smurfs: The Lost Village in any way or form. They belong to Peyo and Sony Animations, respectively. Aria Smurf is my O.C.; she belongs to me. SmurfAggie belongs to I.M. Rally. Now, let's get this underway!
Smurflily, Smurfstorm, and SmurfAggie, along with the other female smurfs, led the group into a secluded part of the forest. Once they reached a small opening, Smurflily blew on a flower horn, which signaled another female smurf to jump on some glowing drums. Suddenly, a huge gate opened, allowing the group to enter. Inside, Smurfy Grove was something to behold as Aria was in absolute shock. There were female smurfs, who looked up from what they were doing or came out to see what was going on, almost everywhere you looked. They all wore the same attire but had a signature plant or flower in their hat and style in general. The houses were leaf pods that hung on top of sturdy vines that looked well-constructed. There were also many bright, colorful plants, and from the top of the tall tree branches, you got a clear view of the sun. All the smurfs gathered around the group in curiosity, especially near the boys. Some of them asked questions such as, "Are they sick," and "Is something wrong with them," and even, "Are they food"?
Luckily, Aggie went up to them, saying, "They're not food, they're smurfs...well...boy smurfs. As I've tried to explain to you guys before, boys are just like girls. They're fast, strong, smart, and nice." Simultaneously, some of the other female smurfs gawked over Smurfette and Sassette, as the female smurfling said to Smurfette, "Golly Smurfette. They sure look friendly." Meanwhile, Aria actually stepped back from the group as the other female smurfs started crowding in, feeling a little shy. Smurfstorm noticed this as she went up to her younger sister, asking, "Something wrong, kiddo"? Aria answered, 'To be honest, I'm a little nervous. They're so many female smurfs here, and I'm not even sure if they remember me or not. Aside from that, I don't even know how to "reintroduce" myself to them since I was away for so long." Smurfstorm got an idea as she let out a loud whistle, getting everyone's attention in an instant.
She then exclaimed, "Everyone, there's one more smurf I would like to introduce you too. It's been a while since we've seen her, but Smurflily and I are proud to say welcome back to our sister...Aria." Aria let out a nervous smile as everyone looked at her curiously for a minute. Then, they all began to crowd around her, either giving her huge hugs or examining her attire. Many of then gave her compliments such as, "Wow, you haven't changed a bit," or "Not what we expected as clothing, but they suit you well," and even, "You're still as beautiful as when you were a smurfling"! Others asked her a lot of questions such as, "Where did you go," or "How did you survive the tornado," and even "Was it scary being out there by yourself"? As Aria conversated with her fellow Smurfs, her friends watched from a distance, as Smurfette said with a smile, "She's finally reunited with her family and friends," as a teary-eyed Sassette added, "Yeah, it's so beautiful." Hefty added, "She's gone through so much, and now, she gets to live with them again." Then, Brainy asked a troubling question, saying, "Do you think she'll choose to live here now that she's reunited with them"? Everyone looked at Brainy for a minute before realizing that she could be right.
However, before they could say something, Sassette asked, "Does Smurfy Grove have boys too"? Suddenly, a booming voice from above answered for Sassette, saying, 'You won't find any boys here." Everyone turned to see that on top of the highest branch while holding a staff. She hopped down and flew through the air on a daisy propeller, landing gracefully on the ground. She faced Aria's friends and unmasked herself, resembling a female opposite of Papa Smurf. They were in shock as the elder smurf introduced herself, saying, "I am Smurfwillow, leader of the Smurfs." They were speechless for a bit before Smurfette introduced herself and her friends. Then, Smurflily went up tp Smurfwillow, saying, "There's one more Smurf here who would like to see you," as Aria nervously went up to her. Aria cleared her throat before saying, 'It's been a long time, Smurfwillow. I've missed you." Smurfwillow smiled and hugged Aria, saying, "We're glad that you have returned safely Aria." Aria smiled and replied with, "I've been trying to find you guys for years, and so far, I was running out of luck. But thanks to my new friends, I was able to find my way home." Smurfstorm placed a gentle arm around her, saying, 'Good to have you back, kid," as Smurflily added, "The Smurfy Grove Trio has reunited once again."
Smurfwillow then turned to face everyone, saying, "Everyone, in honor of Aria returning home after years of separation and to celebrate some new friends in our mist, let's greet them with great hospitality. Smurfy Grove style"! Everyone cheered and jumped up and down excitedly. Some of the smurfs began playing bongo drums while a couple of others blew on flower horns. One female smurf threw flower petals in the air, decorating the sky. Smurfblossom placed a buttercup in Smurfette's hat and a daisy in Sassette's while a friend of hers gave them both jewelry. Smurfblossom then dragged them over to show them all the fun stuff she loved to do. Meanwhile, the boys were trying to impress the ladies and hilariously foiling each other's attempts. Except for Clumsy, who kept tripping and falling over, which made the other female smurfs laugh. SmurfAggie helped show Smurfette and Sassette how to ride the flower propellers and sky sledding with bees. At the same time, Smurflily and Smurfstorm were showing Aria around the village, helping to reintroduce her to her previous home.
Smurfstorm was showing Aria her pod as she said, 'This is my place, or rather, it used to be where the three of us stayed together when we were small." Aria walked inside and looked around, saying, "This place hasn't changed a bit." Smurflily added, "I remember we used to come up with ideas for our craziest adventures in here." Smurfstorm then pulled out an old picture from under her bed and showed it to her, saying, "You remember this old photo"? She gave it to Aria as Aria looked at it and smiled brightly. It was an image of the trio when they were only little smurflings. Just as Aria mentioned before, her outfit in the picture was different. She still had her signature bandanna but wore a yellow dress, matching shoes, and a yellow hat. Held in her hat was a small, red four-leaf clover, similar to Smurfstorm's green one. As for Smurfstorm and Smurflily, their outfits in the picture was the same, but smaller since they were small back then. That day was a day the trio remembers vividly.
It was 50 years ago, as a young Smurflily, Smurfstorm, and Aria were walking through the forest, with Smurfwillow supervising them, of course. Smurfstorm led the way, holding a handmade bow like a sword and pointing it towards the sky, shouting, "Hark! We are off to find adventure"! Smurflily, who stood by her side, shouted, "Time waits for no smurf"! Then, Aria, who came swinging on a vine, exclaimed, "Woohoo! This is so much fun"! Smurfwillow chuckled before saying, "Easy, Aria. You don't want to fall or get hurt." Aria jumped, landing feet first on the ground, while saying, "And Aria sticks the landing! The crowd goes wild"! Her siblings laughed as Smurflily said, "You're funny, Aria. A real wild smurf." Smurfstorm chuckled before saying, "Well, you can't blame her. She gets it from me." Suddenly, a rustle in the bushes got their attention as Smurfstorm readied a smaller version of her bow and arrow while Smurflily hid behind Aria. Meanwhile, Aria pulled out a ukelele, ready to smash whatever would come out of the bushes. Smurfwillow stood in front of the girls, saying, "Stay back. Whatever is in those bushes might be dangerous." Luckily, a bunny appeared and looked at the smurfs before hopping away, leaving everyone to sigh a breath of relief.
Smurflily said with a smile, "I'm happy it wasn't anything scary, like a monster or a witch." Smurfstorm added, "Too bad. I was hoping to kick a bad guy's butt today," as she kicked and punched the air like a punching bag. Aria strummed her ukelele while saying, 'Me too! I wanted to beat them up and send them far away like the older warriors," while mimicking her older sister's actions. Smurfwillow chuckled at their antics before saying, "Well, you'll have to wait till you're a little older before you can become warriors. in the meantime, the best thing you can do is watch out for one another." Smurfstorm looked at her younger siblings, who high-fived one another, and smiled, telling Smurfwillow, "You can count on me to protect them." Smurflily and Aria both hugged Smurfstorm tightly, leaving her to blush, but smile and accept their hug. Smurfwillow then pulled out a camera as the trio posed and smiled while Smurfwillow took their picture.
Aria smiled as she said, "That day was our first taste of adventure and our first taste in sisterhood bonds." Smurflily added, "Whenever Stormy or I felt like missing you, we'd look at this photo together, and it'd help us feel a lot better." Smurfstorm smiled as she added, "To think, you've grown from that small smurfling in the picture to this grown-up smurf we see before us. You've changed a lot, but in a way, you're still the same smurf we know and love." Aria chuckled while saying, "You're right about that, Stormer. I still love music, I still love to sing and dance, and even during my years of unplanned isolation, my love for you two has not changed. We're sisters and best friends for life. always have been, always will be." The trio got into a little group hug, happy to be in each other's embraces again. Then, a small glow caught Smurflily's attention as she looked up and gasped in surprise. Aria noticed this as she stepped back, asking, "Is something wrong"? Smurflily chuckled as Smurfstorm noticed it too, saying, "Well, it finally happened, kid. Look in the mirror," as Smurflily offered Aria a small hand mirror. Aria looked into it and let out a surprised gasp. Her original brown hair color was completely gone, replaced by her natural, dark blue color. Aria was silent for a minute before saying, "Guess I now resemble you guys. I must say, it's a bit of a change, but I like it." Smurfstorm and Smurflily smiled as Smurflily said, "You'll get used to it, Ari, and I agree, the color really suits you." Smurfstorm gave a nod of approval, saying, "Now, we look alike. Hope we don't get anyone confused," as the trio broke into laughter before heading back outside to see how the rest of Aria's friends were settling in.
Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty were relaxing in a nearby insect spa. Brainy was resting in a hot tub, Hefty was getting a caterpillar back massage, and Clumsy was having his feet rubbed by a cicada. At the same time, Smurfette and Sassette came flying in via flower propellers and had to stifle their laughter when they saw the boys in various states of relaxation. SmurfAggie saw this too and quickly took a couple of pictures, giving them to Smurfette while saying, 'In case you ever need an "edge" on them," as Smurfette accepted them and broke into laughter, with Sassette and SmurfAggie joining her. The boys looked up and were blushing in embarrassment as they quickly readjusted themselves and were back to their normal selves. Soon, Aria joined up with the group, asking, "Did I miss anything"? The first thing they saw was Aria's new hair color, as Smurfette said, 'Wow, Aria. Blue is definitely your color," as everyone piled in their agreements. Aria blushed in embarrassment as Smurflily swung a gentle arm around her, saying, 'Looks like they agree with us as well." Hefty then interrupted the group by saying, "Guys, we should start heading back to the village. Papa's probably wondering where we are, and we don't want him to think something bad happened to us." Sassette then popped the question, asking, "Is Aria going to come with us"? That made everyone nervous as Aria thought about it herself. While she was technically reunited with her biological family and her true home, when she met her new friends and became welcomed in Smurf Village, they also became like a family to her as well. So, the real question would be, where did her heart truly belong?
