Hola, me amigos! Can't wait to read this chapter? Neither can I! Let's get to it!
FrittzyCrazy- Ah, Angel. If you guys haven't noticed, I'm a great lover of birds and I have to say that of all my bird OC's, Angel has to one of my most unique. Isn't that right, Angel? (strokes Angel's neck with a finger)
Angel: Coooooo. (shakes head and ruffles wings)
Benny- I know you said he was distant, but he's only going to be talking much in the first few chapters. Soon enough he'll be as silent as a mouse in the house on Christmas Eve. And I think we already discussed why you couldn't hug Brainy. WHAT? Angel the dove reminding you of Benevolent Smurf? I don't know what you're talking about...(turns away with knowing smile on face)
Angel: (also smiles knowingly)
flowerpower71- Yes, Feralette and Wild were both raised by animals, which made them pretty territorial with each other. (smiles cheekily) You are almost there. Right idea, wrong bird. Thank you for the gifts, but just like you on Questions, I plan on updating on Halloween day with everyone of us in smurfy costumes! (sorry if it seems like I'm copying you, but I have a special thing in mind).
Zinka17- Um about that...
Scaredy: HELP ME! (jumps into shirt)
Scaredy Smurf! (grabs Scaredy from shirt and holds him by his pants) What the smurf has gotten into you?!
?: Oh, Scaredy! Where are you?
Scaredy: O_O It's HER! (dives into author's hair and hides)
(Affectionette runs into the room and looks around)
Affectionette: Frosty, have you seen Scaredy? I never got to tell him how sorry I was for scaring him and I can't smurf him anywhere...
Oh, I wouldn't know...(points to her hair while mouthing, "He's right here.")
Affectionette: (smiles widely) Oh, Scaredy! Come here, you adorable little Smurf! (reaches into author's hair and pulls out the trembling Smurf)
Scaredy: AAHHH! (scrambles out of Affectionette's grip and through the forest in terror)
Affectionette: Wait! Come back! I haven't given you your hug yet! (chases after him)
See what I mean? Things are still getting worked out between those two.
SmallSunshine- I loved that line, too. And you're right, Wild and Feralette were a bit territorial but will warm up to each other eventually. And try to lighten up on the hugs with Brainy, would you? You and Benny are gonna crush him sooner or later.
Chloe- Again, I don't know what you're talking about. And don't worry, the two will learn to get along...eventually.
Sapphire777- You are probably going to hear this on 'Nightmare in Smurf Village' too, but I think you would look great as a smurfpiress along with Sweepy as a smurfpire. The two of you just look too cute not to match! Anyway, I think I can work something out with that song to make it unique for Misty. Let me see what I can do. I'm sorry, but I can't kill you. You're too good of a smurfy friend plus you're one of my best reviewers. Disclaimer time!
I own Crafty, the Smurfettes (at least the ones mentioned in my story), Monty, Hummer, Aurora, Almia, Meena, and the Creatugos.
Scaredy: (while running away from the chasing Affectionette) Livy and Nanu belong to flowerp-power71 and Jo be-belongs to CartoonCaster! Go away, please! Leave me alone!
Affectionette: Wait! Don't run! Oh, Noctuma belongs to Benny (counts one finger), Misty belongs to Sapphire777 (counts another finger), and the Smurfs belong to Peyo. Bye, everyone! I'll give you a hug later!
"So let me smurf this straight," Explorette said, taking a bite out of her slice of Smurfberry cream pie. "The only thing you can remember is going down by a river and getting separated from this Hazel girl."
"Uh huh," Crafty nodded.
"Then you were captured by some hunter and that's how you met this Xavier," Charmette continued on, taking a sip of milk from her glass.
"You're doing well," Crafty replied.
"Then you somehow escaped and got lost in this forest and wound up living with these guys for the past, what, seven or eight years?" Wittette finished.
"That's just about everything," Crafty said patting Angel's head. Angel tilted his head in several directions and cooed occasionally, just like all birds did. Only, for some reason, she had the assumption that Angel was no ordinary bird.
"And…You guys are Crafty's…sisters?" Hefty asked to make sure he had his facts straight.
"And best child-uh-smurflinghood friend," Aurora added, she herself lying on her side around the village square where the Smurfettes ate together along with pretty much over half the village.
"And acquaintance," Noctuma interjected, his talons resting beneath his feathers as he was settled on the ground.
"Noctuma. We both know that's a bunch of sardines," Aurora slyly smirked. "She's one of your closest friends. And I know you like her."
Noctuma let out a dry laugh, "I must inform you, Aurora, that Crafty and I were never close. I can hardly see how we are considered friends."
"Your beak is full of lies! Lies, I tell you!" Aurora dramatically put the tip of her flipper to her head. "How dare you lie to one of your closest, most dear friends, Noctuma!"
Noctuma seemed nearly unfazed as he rolled his yellow-ish green eyes in annoyance.
"Anyway," he continued. "You are correct. These Smurfettes are indeed her sisters."
Wooly's eyes kept shifting from looking at Crafty, then to the Smurfette dressed in dark pink, Pridette. Multiple times he kept looking between the two for quite a while. He elbowed Handy and whispered something into his ear. Handy nodded in what looked like agreement and whispered something back.
"Uh, So..." Wooly started, fiddling with his hands as well. "I couldn't help but notice that Crafty and Pridette look so...alike."
"Yeah," Pridette replied with a raised eyebrow as she stirred her soup with a spoon. "What of it?"
"Well...are you guys maybe...twins or something?"
"THANK YOU!" Hefty shouted throwing his arms up.
Crafty raised an eyebrow and looked at the Smurfette who is said to look like her. Pridette looked at her as well and the two looked each other up and down with only slight interest.
"I don't see it," Crafty shook her head.
"I never saw it," Pridette wrinkled her nose and stuck a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
"If you Smurfs and Smurfettes will excuse me," Crafty walking away from the group, the dove following behind her. "I'm going to bed early. I think I'm starting to smurf a migraine coming on."
"Okay, good night, Crafty!" Clumsy waved.
"How rude!" Pridette scoffed. "We travel all this way to find her and all she has to say is that she's going to bed. Smurf about being unappreciated."
"Oh, do not even start with me about her ghastly behavior!" Vanity said while observing his looks. "She's violent, foolhardy, and has no common sense whatsoever."
"Sounds like our Crafty to me," Wittette smirked.
"Sounds a lot like you too, Pridette," Meditette commented, taking a gentle bite into a smurfberry cookie. "At least whenever it comes to anysmurf getting dirt on your dress."
"Maybe you both are twins after all," Vanity smirked smugly.
"Oh, and don't forget that she totally kicked your tail about twenty times over the mountain since coming here, Vanity," Wooly chuckled.
Pridette snorted and covered her mouth, trying to contain her laughter. Vanity only rolled his eyes and turned away with a scoff. The proud Smurfette turned away also, but frowned and shook her head.
"Affectionette! Give it up! That Smurf's not coming out!" She exclaimed to the sad-faced Affectionette, who was staring at the mushroom of Scaredy Smurf. "You probably scared him so much he smurfed of fright when he got inside."
"I...I just don't know why he did that," Affectionette sighed. "I didn't mean to frighten him. I was just being friendly, is all."
"Who, Scaredy?" Hefty asked, jabbing a thumb at the mushroom. Affectionette nodded and Hefty chuckled, "You didn't do anything wrong. Scaredy's afraid of just about everything and everyone."
"That's...That's horrible," Affectionette gasped. "Nosmurf should be so afraid! I should go talk to him."
"Uh, that's not such a good idea," Hefty explained, grabbing onto Affectionette's arm as she went to go to Scaredy's home. "He'll get used to ya, but for right now it's not that good of an idea to be so...direct with him. Just smurf him some time."
Affectionette sighed mournfully and sat back on the dirt where she was before.
"Sisters. Sisters," Crafty muttered to herself, shaking her head in disbelief as she paced around her bedroom in her light blue nightgown. "I have sisters. This is unbelievable. I have sisters, I'm talking to myself, and there is a dove in my room that won't leave me alone."
"Cooo," The dove purred, ruffling his feathers as if the comment didn't bother him.
"That's right! I'm talking about you!" She exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at Angel. She immediately dropped her hand, "And now I'm yelling at the dove. I'm going insane. That's the only explanation."
Angel shook his head and let his beak form into a small smile, nestling his head into his body to go to asleep.
"I swear if that was how smurfed up my past was, maybe Ipati wiped my memories clean and sent me away to save my life, then came back for me to put me through torture again," Crafty murmured, crawling under the blanket on her bed and settling herself to sleep.
A few minutes of complete silence just went by and it actually seemed to calm her nerves down a bit. Crafty smiled with her eyes closed and sighed in content.
"You have a nice bedroom, Crafty."
Crafty's eyes snapped open and she sat up immediately. Oddette was standing right at her bedside, smiling at her as she looked around her bedroom.
"How'd you get in here?!" Crafty asked with wide eyes. Angel lifted his head to see the commotion going on.
"I followed you in here. I'm surprised you didn't notice me," Oddette answered simply.
"Well, you should get back to the other Smurfettes before they worry about you," Crafty said, letting her head fall back on her pillow and closed her eyes.
"But I don't want to go. I wanna stay here with you," Oddette whined, climbing onto the bed and on top of Crafty's chest.
Crafty opened her eyes and arched both of her eyebrows, "And why is that?"
"'Cause I love you and I missed you," Oddette smiled sweetly down at her older 'sister'.
"Okay then," Crafty closed her eyes again, hoping that if she stayed still long enough that Oddette would eventually get bored and go away.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Oddette asked in a honey-like voice, making Crafty open her eyes yet again.
Crafty sighed and said nothing, only lifted the blanket and allowed Oddette to crawl under. The red-headed Smurfling curled up next to Crafty and sighed in bliss.
"I love you, big sister," Her voice mumbled as she closed her eyes.
Crafty's eyelids lifted slightly and looked down at the Smurfling. She blew out a breath of air and patted the Smurfling's head, "Same to you, little sis. Sleep tight."
She wrapped her arms around Oddette and hugged her as they both slowly drifted to sleep. Angel smiled at the two and curled his head into his body, letting himself drift to sleep as well.
