Sorry about the short chapter, it's just the page had a natural break to it, I couldn't waste the opportunity to use it. Also, I don't mean to use reviews as a way to torture you guys, but I need your advice. Please tell me how I'm doing, am I going to fast or slow? Does it seem childish or cliché? Tell me please! I do not own the Smurfs, Melody and the plot however, are my own creation.
I smiled as I followed them, skipping slightly, with the thought of meeting more of the village. I was excited to meet more Smurfs but also slightly nervous, I didn't want to make a bad impression. Soon, however, we arrived at the mess hall and I pretty much met everyone else in the village. As we grabbed our food Gutsy guided me over to sit by him and another Smurf, with what appeared to be a perpetual frown on his face. Hefty and Handy sat across from us on the other side of the table.
"This, lassie, is Grouchy Smurf. Grouchy, this is Melody; she's new to de village." Gutsy said introducing me to Grouchy.
"I hate new Smurfettes." Grouchy said simply.
I mocked his voice and said, "I especially hate Smurfettes who steal my voice." Then I giggled at the dumbfounded expression on his face.
Everyone laughed at my mimicry, and I found it just smurfy.
"I knew de lassie would like 'em." Gutsy said smirking.
"Whatever." Grouchy huffed, crossing his arms and looking away.
"Oh Grouchy, don't hate me because I'm beautiful." I said mimicking Vanity Smurf and tossing my braid over my shoulder with a flick of the wrist.
The table roared with laughter, Gutsy and Hefty being the loudest of all. I giggled with them, barely containing my mischievous side. Grouchy quirked a small grin and slightly snickered.
Victory! Yes finally!
"So Melody, what instrument do you know how to play?" Handy asked while he got out a pad and pencil.
"Oh well, I like to play lots of instruments. The violin, viola, guitar, drums, flute, cello, I know how to play many instruments. So I guess it's up to you, I think I particularly like the violin, viola, and the guitar." I said smiling.
"Ye really know how ta play a lot of instruments don' cha?" Gutsy asked smirking.
I just smiled and nodded, I love playing music.
We enjoyed the rest of the abso-smurfing-lutely great meal and then cleaned up our plates. Papa Smurf then came over with apparently, Smurfette.
"Melody, this is Smurfette. She has agreed to let you spend the night in her mushroom until yours is finished." Papa explained.
I nodded and said to Smurfette, "Nice to smurf you Smurfette."
She squealed and gave me a big hug and my girly girl alarm busted. "Oh I'm so glad there's another girl Smurf in the village! It's so smurfy to meet you Melody!" She practically screamed.
I awkwardly hugged her back, "Uh, it's smurfy to meet you too Smurfette, but I kind of need my lungs." I said gasping for breath when she let go.
"Come on Melody," Smurfette said, "I can't wait to show you my mushroom, you'll love it!"
I hesitantly followed, but went faster when she started pulling on my arm.
