I'm so pleased that so many of you had a positive response to the first chapter. I am sorry it didn't get posted the night I said it would, but I do have something to make up for it by making this announcement: This story is going to be like a contest central! The first contest is starting now.
You guys have noticed that I have named various Smurfs that will be getting 'smurffriends' sooner or later in the story. Though I haven't named all of them, your job is to guess and point out what Smurf and Smurfette would possibly be together. I'm not going to announce the winner until the chapter when the Smurf and Smurfette will be an official couple. The prize: One free wish! There are multiple couples, so anybody can win. Just keep your eyes peeled on any special connections between the Smurfs and Smurfettes. And remember, this is going on until the very end of this story down tot he last chapter. Good luck!
Benny- Yes. This is book number 4. Yes, I had the idea that some of the Creatugos she already met would meet up with her and Noctuma seemed like an ideal candidate. I hope you don't mind. And I kinda had a first impression already in mind. Don't worry, I think it's one we'll all enjoy. Aurora is an awesome penguin. More will be told about her later. As for Miner and Greedy, I'm just telling you now that Miner's OC is going to be coming up soon, but Greedy's won't be here until way into the story and I mean way in there. I have a feeling that you'll like them, though.
SmallSunshine- First of all, its an honor to have you on here as a reviewer and I'm happy that you like my stories a lot. I would also like to say that I loved your Smurfs story. It was so adorable and filled with brotherly love! How could I not like it? And that stuff is just so sweet of you to say. I also hope to see you in this archive for a good long time and I also hope to see more of your reviews here.
flowerpower71- I know! Everyone loves penguins! Aurora is just going to be getting more and more awesome.
Spring-Heel-Jacq- I know I'm definitely having one more main story after this, but afterwards, I don't know. I hope you get rid of that headache soon.
Zinka17- As much as I hate to give spoiler alerts, yes. Crafty's name from before is indeed Crafty. It'll be explained why that is later. And yes, Scaredy's going to have a big friendship/romance thing going on in the story, second only to Gutsy and Crafty.
Sapphire777- That just might make me put something in there for Misty and Jokey in the story. That was hilarious! Beautiful! (sighs) And yes. Crafty and Gutsy are going to have a big fight over a stupid thing, but its not easy to understand until the actual fight happens. As for the character death thing, well, same thing. I cannot guarantee when Misty will show up, but compared to how long the story is going to be, it's going to be soon. And may I say that she's going to kick some serious smurf when she makes her debut.
I own Crafty, Hummer, Monty, the Smurfettes in this story, Aurora, Ipati, Xavier, Meena, Fencette, Almia, and Benevolent. Misty belongs to Sapphire777, flowerpower71 owns Nanu and Livy, Jo belongs to CartoonCaster21, and Benny owns Noctuma. The Smurfs, Peewit, and Johan belong to Peyo. Bye!
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Crafty shook her head, backing away from Feralette, not believing a word that was being told to her. "That's impossible! How can you know me, but I don't know you!"
Aurora and Noctuma shared confused looks, then Aurora said, "But we do know you! Crafty, don't you remember? We've been best friends since I hatched from my egg."
"Sorry, but I don't," Crafty shook her head.
Feralette tilted her head, then sat down on all fours and used her leg to scratch behind her ear.
"Excuse me, Noctuma? Aurora? What's taking so long?" Another voice unfamiliar to Crafty's ears sounded from the green brush Aurora had exited from.
They rustled slightly before out walked another Smurfette. This one, emphasizing her calm demeanor, wore a sort of light purple silky robe that flowed a little at the bottom. The robe exposed her feet, which were barely covered by her gladiator sandals. Her hat was also a light purple, the same shape as Crafty's, which sat on top of her loose, wavy black hair reaching down to her shoulders.
"What's the matter?" The Smurfette asked. "We were worrying for you."
"What's the matter, Meditette, is that," Aurora pointed a flipper at Crafty, who raised an eyebrow at the emperor penguin.
Meditette, with her calm demeanor as neutral as Noctuma, turned to see Crafty. She gasped and her hands went to over her mouth in shock. Slowly removing them, she turned to Aurora, who nodded, then to Feralette, who grunted and nodded also.
"Meditette! What's happening out there?!"
Meditette, not looking away from Crafty, answered, "Charmette. Pridette. Come and look."
"What in the name of Smurfettes are you talking about?" A Smurfette, her accent sounding Indian, came out, dressed in a dark green apparel, looking like an Harem princess.
At the tip of her dark green Smurf hat, a sort of silky, see-through cloth sprouted from the top and came down past the back of her head all the way down to the middle of her back, where covered her curly midnight hair. The same clothe made a veil going right under her blue eyes. As for her clothing, the only skin that really showed were her bare arms and only half of her abdomen. The rest was covered in solid dark green silk. Even the soft-looking shoes on her feet.
"Yeah. What's so important! I want to get some food in my smurf!" The other one, the one named 'Pridette' said.
This Smurfette was, in Crafty's summarized thought, a glamorized, female version of her own Vanity Smurf. She wore a dark pink gown that was meant to accent her curves especially when she moved. She wore no make-up, but the smugness in her eyes just showed that she didn't need it to show her beauty.
What really freaked the group of three out, however, was that in one way or another, she looked just like Crafty. Their hair was the same chocolate brown in color, the only difference was Crafty had a braid and Pridette had a curly flow to her hairstyle. And their faces! They just looked like...twins.
Meditette elbowed Charmette in the side and pointed to Crafty. The two Smurfettes gasped loudly and stared at Crafty.
"Okay. You guys have to stop doing that! It's starting to creep me out!" Crafty snapped at them.
"Hey," Aurora suddenly said to the underbrush. "You guys can come out. It's safe."
Three other Smurfettes trudged out, all looking like the first that came out: Like they had been through a tragedy and were on the run.
The first one had dirty blonde hair that waved just down to her shoulders and curled just a bit at the tips. She wore a short-sleeved dark blue dress reaching to her knees, where dark blue flats covered her feet and were smudged with dirt. However much hardship any of them had been through, she seemed to have an upbeat attitude all the way.
The second one was dressed in a beige explorers outfit, sporting dark brown hiking boots covered in dirt, and even a beige, Smurf-shaped pith helmet. She wore her black hair in a low, flowy ponytail and her eyes showed that she was looking for an obstacle to overcome.
The final Smurfette seemed...full of sass. She wore a dark purple tank top and a knee-length skirt of the same color. Her frizzy dark red hair was shorter than the others, reaching only to the top of her shoulders. Her arms were crossed and the frown on her face indicated impatience, the tapping of her short-heeled purple shoes doing the same.
Charmette raised an eyebrow, "Where are the Smurflings?"
The explorer Smurfette spoke, "We thought they were with you."
Monty's head perked as he felt something crawling onto his head. The head of a Smurfette...scratch that, a Smurfling Smurfette poked down into his view. This one was also a bit dirty, but seemed happy all the same. She had fiery red hair that went just past her shoulders. What she wore was completely...unusual. She wore a lime green overalls with a dark purple shirt underneath, and topping her head was a lime green Smurf hat. Basically, she wore the same thing that Crafty wears, only with different colors.
"Hi!" She said.
Crafty suddenly gave out an 'oomph!' as she was tackled to the ground from behind. She blinked and shook her head as the weight jumped off of her back and right in front of her, only giving her the sight of dark orange sneakers. Crafty's eyes roamed upward, observing the dark orange track suit being sported by the Smurfling that had tackled her to the ground. This Smurfette had light brown hair and had it up in a high ponytail and Crafty took one look in her determined young eyes and could tell she was looking for a challenge.
"Wow, Crafty," The Smurfling smirked, shaking her head in disappointment. "I was hoping you didn't lose your touch. Guess I was wrong."
"Well, this has been sufficiently awkward for me," Crafty sighed picking herself up off of the ground. "But I think I'm gonna go home now. Bye."
Crafty turned to leave the odd group, but stopped and fell again when a weight came down on her shoulders.
"But ya can't go yet, Crafty!" the red headed Smurfling cried out, sitting on Crafty's stomach. "We just found you."
"Found me?" Crafty asked, taking the Smurfling into her arms and setting her down as she stood up. "I don't even know you guys!"
As if not enough had been done to her that day by them, Crafty gasped as the Smurfette dressed in blue took her into a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh, but we remember you!" She grinned, hugging her even closer. "Don't you worry! We'll help you get your memory back and smurfy again! I'm Affectionette."
"I can see that," Crafty muttered, implying her loving personality.
Affectionette giggled and hugged her tighter, "You were always so funny, Crafty. Those two are Aurora and Noctuma, very good friends of ours, especially you." Affectionette gushed poking Crafty on the nose at the end of the sentence.
"You know Martialette and Oddette now," She said gesturing first to the one that tackled Crafty followed by the one dressed in green and purple.
"That's Wittette," She pointed to the sassy looking red-head. "Explorette," Then at the one with the explorer's get-up. "And Pridette, Charmette, and Meditette."
Wittette suddenly narrowed her eyes at Crafty, "And just where have you been this whole time!"
"Um, here?" Crafty gestured to the forest unsure of how to answer.
"Oh, that doesn't matter!" Affectionette waved her hand. "What matter is that you're here and you're safe! You have to tell us what in the name of Smurfette happened to you!"
"Actually," Charmette interrupted. "I think first since you now know our names, we should have the names of your friends there."
"Um, okay," Crafty shrugged. She pointed at Monty, "That's Monty. He's a friend and creation of mine," then to Hummer. "And that's Hummer."
Suddenly, ringing could be heard in the distance not too far from their current location.
"What's that sound?" Meditette asked, looking around.
"Smurf!" Crafty cursed under her breath, getting herself out of Affectionette's grip. The dinner bell! "I've gotta go!"
"Go? What could be more important than us?!" Pridette asked indignantly.
"That's not important," Crafty retorted.
"Not important, my smurf," Wittette sassed. "Where're you goin'?"
"Home, okay?!" Crafty snapped. "It's dinnertime and I have to go!"
"Mmm," Oddette rubbed her stomach. "Dinner sounds nice right now."
It made sense. Along with seeing how dirty their clothes were, they looked as if they hadn't eaten in a little while and could use a good meal. Crafty blew out a breath of air and looked to them.
"Look. I don't know you, but you somehow know me. I don't really know why you guys are here but if you'd like to, you're more than welcome to come with me and get some food in your smurfs."
"Yes!" Explorette yelled, answering for all of them. "Don't any of you say no because I am starving!"
"Who's telling you no?" Martialette exclaimed. She crawled right on top of Monty and waited impatiently, "C'mon! Let's get moving!"
Crafty blew out air and shook her head as she walked away from them and towards the Smurf village. She patted the back of her thigh, giving Monty the silent command to follow her, which he obeyed. Oddette giggled and climbed up Crafty's back and settled herself on Crafty's shoulders as she continued to walk.
"So," Wittette said, pacing her stride with Crafty's. "Where've you been hiding yourself? And where're we going, anyway?"
"We are going to the Smurf village because dinner's about to be served. Don't worry, they're very friendly," Crafty immediately thought of Grouchy, even though he wasn't at the village presently. "Well, most of them."
"Smurfs?" They all echoed perplexed.
"Oh, so you mean to say that there are male versions of them?" Noctuma asked gesturing to the Smurfettes.
"Well, if you wanna dumb it down, then yes," Crafty rolled her eyes.
"Oh, I can't wait to meet them!" Affectionette shook with excitement. "I love meeting new people! I have so many questions like, um, how many of them are there? Do you have a best friend? Do you have a worst friend?"
"Are you sure your name is Affectionette? I feel like a tornado just went through here," Crafty interrupted.
"CRAFTY SMURFETTE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" All the Smurfettes including Aurora jumped back in startling. Crafty sighed and hung her head.
"Whoa. Whoever that guy is sure sounds angry with you, sis," Martialette stated. "Who is that?"
"Hefty. Hefty Smurf," Crafty groaned. Then she yelled out, "Over here, Hefty!"
"Crafty, I swear to smurf you are going to be the death of me!" Hefty growled crashing through the bushes to the sound of Crafty's voice. "You try to get out through those tunnels one more time and I'm bolting that thing shu-"
Hefty froze as he noticed Crafty's newest guests. He looked between all of them, from the wild-looking Feralette to the two Creatugos who were looking at him with as much shock as he did to them.
"Yeah. I just found out I have sisters and that my best friend's a penguin," Crafty casually told him.
Hefty shook his head and blinked several times, still in shock from...well, all of that. And Crafty was sure to take advantage of it.
"So, what do you say we smurf them back to the village, get'em a little something to eat and somewhere to sleep," Crafty asked wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
"Uh...Okay," Hefty answered. "But we're talkin' about you sneaking out later!"
"Of course, of course!" Crafty nodded turning him around and leading them both towards the village.
She turned to the other Smurfettes and winked. Monty and Hummer shook their heads in complete amusement while the Smurfettes and two Creatugos looked in wonder at her.
"How did she do that?" Meditette asked her sisters.
"I don't know," Charmette shook her head. "She must have a way with them."
