Do you really think I'm that mean, to just leave you with that small chapter? Heck no! I love sharing my story with you guys! Here is the rest of it, with a nice little drop off too. In relation to other chapters this has a nice length to it, not too long or short. Besides, you guys won't have super long chapters for a while so that my pattern can continue. I was serious about your opinions guys, they matter to me.

There is so much pink, way too much pink for me. Why is there so much pink assaulting my eyes?
"Um, quite the house you've got here Smurfette. There's a lot of, pink." I said eyeing her pink walls and heart shaped windows.
"I know, isn't it just the smurfiest! Come on in, I'll help you get settled." She said as we walked inside.
The walls didn't scream pink at me again, thank smurf, but there were tons of flowers in the room.
"Here we go." She said as she brought some pillows and blankets out of the closet and made me a bed on the couch. She also handed me a nightgown, which I gratefully accepted.
"You can go change in the bathroom," she said pointing it out, "then we can talk about boys and play with each other's hair."
I smiled and nodded, then hurried into the bathroom.
Boys, she wants to talk about boys? And play with each other's hair? I'm gonna die! I should have said goodbye to Hefty and Gutsy one last time.
As I conversed with myself internally, I slowly changed out of my clothes and into the nightgown. When I was done I quickly looked at my reflection in the mirror, same old smurfette, just a bit more tired. I folded up my clothes then walked out of the bathroom; Smurfette had changed into a nightgown as well and was now brushing through her hair.
"There you are Melody, now let me brush through your hair and I can tell you about the Smurfs I like." Smurfette said, giggling.
I gave her a smile, "Sure Smurfette."
I'm just gonna smurf with it, maybe we might not end up talking about who I like because she'll be so busy talking about her own crushes.
As Smurfette brushed through my hair, she droned on and on about the Smurfs she likes, jumping from Handy to Dreamer and back again.
"But I'm not ready for a relationship right now, I'm much too young. Well Melody, what about you? Which Smurf do you like?" Smurfette asked as she finished braiding my hair.
We switched places; Smurfette was now the one with her hair getting played with and I was the one talking about who I like. I hummed as I thought about what to say, busying my smurf with her hair.
"Well, since I've only really been here for a day I guess I like Hefty and Gutsy the most because they showed me around the village." I said as I contemplated which braid I was going to do with Smurfette's hair.
"What about in your old village, did you like any Smurfs there?" She asked with a giggle.
"Not really, I mostly considered them as my brothers; they were the ones I had grown up with." I said as I finally chose on French braiding Smurfette's hair.
I really don't want to talk about my village life, please branch off the subject Smurfette.
She did as she began talking about who she liked and found smurfy, again. I didn't mind however and I just let her talk, humming every now and then when she wanted my opinion. Soon though, when I finished braiding her hair, we said our goodnights and she headed off to bed. I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I woke up early the next morning and heard the birds chirping outside. I walked to the bathroom and quickly got ready for the day, ready to leave all of the pink behind me. I left a quick note, explaining I had woken up early and didn't want to wake her up so I went outside, on the table for Smurfette to find later.
I dusted my smurf off one more time then happily skipped outside, joining the birds in their morning songs. Inspiration was everywhere, and I couldn't wait to get back to composing music. I saw Hefty going for a jog and decided to join him.
"Hey Hefty, how's it smurfing?" I said as I caught up with him.
"Oh hey Melody, it's going just smurfy! How are you smurfing?" Hefty asked as we jogged together through the village.
"I'm just smurfy Hefty! This morning is so inspiring! If only I had some sheet paper, I'd be on a roll." I said excitedly, skipping with joy.
"Is that so? Well I can't wait to hear what you come up with!" Hefty said laughing at my enthusiasm.
I smiled at the comment. We jogged past Scaredy and I gave him a smile and a wave. He squeaked and ran back into his house.
"Whoops…" I said apologetically.
Hefty laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, that Smurf is afraid of his own shadow."
We continued jogging and soon more Smurfs started waking up and coming out. I said hi to just about every smurf and then the breakfast bell was rung. We met up with Handy, Gutsy, and Grouchy at breakfast. We enjoyed breakfast then Gutsy said he'd introduce me to the smurflings. I agreed, but only after I got one little job done.
"I'd love to meet the smurflings Gutsy, but I have something to do first." I said as we made our way out of the mess hall.
"Oh, what's dat lassie?" He asked as we made our way to my destination.
"Well, I wanted to smurf up with Doctor and get a proper evaluation." I said as we reached Doctor's house.
He nodded and asked "Do ye want me to come in wit' ye?"
"I don't smurf why not, sure you can come!" I said as I smiled at him.
I knocked on the door and heard some muffled movement inside, and then Doctor Smurf opened the door.
"Ah Melody, just the Smurfette I wanted to see, smurf on in both of you." He said with a gentle smile.
He motioned for me to sit on a stainless steel table as he got out some medical supplies. I complied and shivered at the touch of cool metal.
"Well Gutsy, it's a good thing you're here, can you fetch me some water please? I need to keep these scratches clean." Doctor said directing his attention to Gutsy.
Gutsy quickly nodded and gave me an encouraging smile, I smiled back and he left. Doctor pulled out some new bandages and ointment, appearing to be ready as soon as Gutsy brought the water.
"How are you feeling, Melody, any soreness or itching around your scratches?" Doctor asked as he began removing the wrappings around my arms.
"No not at all. I haven't even noticed the bandages or the scratches." I replied as I watched him work.
Gutsy then came back with a bucket of water in tow. He brought it over to the doctor and set it down on the table, right beside me. As soon as he had done so, Doctor got right to work and immediately began checking, cleaning, rechecking, and bandaging the remaining scratches that still required protection.
I didn't look like a mummy anymore, which was smurfy. Soon, the doctor gave me the all clear and Gutsy and I were ready to go.
"Stop in tomorrow Melody so I can check those scratches again, okay?" Doctor said as he stood in the doorway as we made our way outside.
"Sure thing Doctor! See ya!" I said as I made my way with Gutsy to see the smurflings.
"You're gonna love de smurflings lassie." Gutsy said with a smile.
"I can't wait to smurf them!" I said as we made our way to their mushroom.
