Mud War!
"Rain, rain, go away, smurf again some other day," Sassette was saying sadly as she looked out the window at the falling rain.
"No, Sassette, the plants and animals need rain," Nat argued, being the nature-lover he was.
"Well we smurfs sure don't!"
"Yeah, what kind of fun can we have when it's raining?" Snappy demanded. He was sitting on one of the lower bunks with his blue chin in his hand.
"We could play in here," Slouchy looked around at the stuff that was in their treehouse.
"We can't have fun in here!"
"We can't? Then why do we still have these toys?" Slouchy hinted as he picked one of the said toys up.
"Why don't we play a game," Nat suggested.
"What kind of game?" Sassette asked, giving her attention to the outdoorsy smurf.
"It's called Guess The Smurf! You're supposed to imitate a smurf and give clues, and every other smurf is supposed to guess. Whoever smurfs it right first gets to go next," Nat explains.
"Smurf-a-roo, I'm in," Sassette said excitedly as she sat on the floor.
"Sounds like fun," Snappy sat on Sassette's right.
"Sure," Slouchy dropped the toy and took a seat between Nat and Snappy.
"I'll go first, to give you smurfs an example," Nat said and cleared his throat. "Smurflings, smurflings, smurflings, please let me smurf on and on about my genius-"
"Brainy!" Snappy and Sassette answered in unison through their giggling. Slouchy had been about to answer, but no longer saw the need to, since the other two had gotten to it first.
"I wasn't finished, you hickory-nuts," Nat complained, only to be ignored.
"This is funny!" Sassette giggled.
"Why don't you try, Sassette," Nat said.
"Ok!"
A little later, the smurflings were laughing so hard that they had forgotten all about the rain. That was, until Sassette glanced out the window and saw the sun.
"Smurf-a-roo! It stopped raining!"
The other three looked out the window to see that it had, in fact, stopped raining.
"Wow, we must've been having so much fun we hadn't noticed," Snappy concluded.
"Time flies when you're having fun!" Sassette jumped up, Snappy and Nat following.
"Come on, lets go outside and play!" Nat said.
The three ran past Slouchy - who was still sitting on the floor - and out the door. Slouchy sighed and took his time standing up.
"Why am I always the last smurf out?" He wondered to himself as he followed his fellow smurflings, closing the tree house door behind him.
The four were playing a nice game of smurfball together, under the new rainbow that occurred due to the rain. The teams were Snappy and Slouchy versus Nat and Sassette.
"Smurfs up, Nat!" Sassette called as she kicked the ball towards a slightly unprepared Nat.
Nat tried to kick it, but Snappy was faster. In fact, Snappy's speed and hastiness caused him to kick the ball out of bounds and it splat into a mud puddle.
"Oh dear, that mud could've gotten on my mirror!" Vanity complained, who had been walking past. "Or even worse- on me!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're fine," Snappy retrieved the ball and went to toss it in, but Sassette stopped him.
"Hey, it's our kick because you smurfed the ball before it went out-of-bounds," she pointed out.
"Ok, fine," Snappy tossed the muddy ball over to Sassette. Sassette caught it and gasped when she finds the mud. It would've been fine, if only some of the mud hadn't ended up in her eye like it did.
"Snappy! You got mud in my eye!" The red-head accused.
"No I didn't! You asked for the smurfball, so I smurfed it to you! It's not my fault you smurfed some in your eye," Snappy argued, marching up to her.
Sassette finally rubbed most of it out and was able to see again. "Well we'll see how you like being smurfed with mud," she bent down and grabbed two handfuls before tossing it at Snappy.
Fortunately for Snappy, Sassette's eyesight was still slightly blurry and she missed. This is unfortunate for Slouchy, however, as it slammed into his face. Sassette gasped and Snappy burst into laughter.
"Hey, what was that all about?" Slouchy demanded as he wiped it from his face.
"Sorry, Slouchy," Sassette apologized, though she couldn't help but let out a giggle. Her laughing stopped, however, when she saw Slouchy bend down.
Sensing things were about to get out of hand, Nat took a step forward.
Bad idea.
"Come on, smurflings, lets not-" he's cut off short by mud splattering onto him. The mud actually would have hit Sassette as intended if Nat hadn't stepped forward. "Alright, that smurfs it," Nat gave in and the four start pelting each other with mud left-and-right.
The mud-slinging is enough to get some of the adult smurfs' attention.
"Hey, what's smurfing on over-" Hefty is cut off when he is also hit with watery dirt.
"Sorry Hefty!" Sassette called an apology as she continued throwing mud at the other smurflings.
"Oh, it's on now!" Hefty claimed as he gets in on it all.
"MUD WAR!" Jokey yelled as he let one of his surprises explode, indicating the true start of this "war."
"I hate mud wars!" Grouchy complained as he ran for cover into his home. He went to shut his window, but mud reached his face before he could close it.
"Oh my! I know mud facials are good for you, but not this kind of mud!" Vanity narrowly dodged every mud-ball as he also ran for cover into his home.
"What's smurfing on out here?" Brainy demanded, walking over to the battle field. "When Papa Smurf finds out about this, he isn't going to be very happy! Why of all the productive things to smurf in a day, and you smurf each other with mud? That is abso-smurfly ridiculous! I mean it's-"
Brainy, like most other smurfs, was cut off by mud to the face.
"Hmph! Well we'll see what Papa Smurf has to say, and when he hears about this, you'll be sorry!" Brainy is then completely pelted with mud by every smurf- meaning he was covered head-to-toe in mud. "PAPA SMURF!" Brainy sprinted to Papa Smurf's house, emerging from the dirt.
The war continued and almost every smurf was muddy. That was, every smurf except for Papa (Smurfette and Vanity had been hit at least once and weren't very amused when they were).
Speaking of...
"My smurfs, what's smurfing on?"
Just as he said that, a pack of mud flew and splattered all over his face, dirtying his white beard with goop.
Every smurf gasped. "Papa Smurf!" They all said in unison. What would they say after having just hit their leader with mud?
"What smurf is responsible for all this?" Papa Smurf asked rather calm, yet irritated.
Every smurf backed up, revealing the smurflings, who chuckled nervously.
"Smurfy rainbow, right Papa Smurf?" Snappy gulped.
"Well, which one of you started it?"
Immediately all four smurflings pointed fingers at each other.
"He smurfed mud in my eye!" Sassette accused.
"She threw it first!" Snappy argued.
"I tried to stop it!" Nat informed.
"It wasn't my fault!" Slouchy pleaded innocent.
Unfortunately they were saying all of the above statements at the same time, so Papa Smurf couldn't make any of it out.
"Hold it, hold it!" Papa held up two hands, getting the young smurfs to stop bickering. "If I understand this correctly, it sounds like it was all just one big misunderstanding. I say we should all smurf up and forget about this little event."
Some smurfs groaned, as some of them had actually been having fun; but of course they obeyed.
Papa Smurf had finally removed the mud from his beard and the rest of his face later that evening. Once he was finally done, he walked over to where Baby and Grandpa were. Grandpa was reading a book to Baby, who gurgled happily at the pictures on the pages.
"Well now," Grandpa briefly turned his attention to Papa Smurf. "I see we're all clean again. What exactly happened, if I may ask?"
Papa Smurf chuckled. "It was just the smurflings being smurflings."
"Those young-ins sure do cause mischief," Grandpa also chuckled. Baby pulles on Grandpa's beard impatiently, thus turning his attention back to the book. "Oh, sorry, Baby. Let's see, where was I?"
"Would you like me to read to Baby, Grandpa?" Papa offered.
"No, no, it's ok, you've had your share of smurflings today, this one is mine," Grandpa winked at the red-clad smurf, causing Papa to chuckle.
"I suppose you're right, Grandpa, I suppose you're right."
Baby shook his rattle in another attempt to regain the oldest smurf's attention. Sometimes it wasn't easy not being able to talk.
Yay! c:
I don't know why, but I just felt like adding that little scene with Grandpa and Baby last minute because I haven't written for Grandpa until now, and I thought it would be cute c:
As always please leave a review and thanks for reading!
