Chapter 6

…..…..

Yoshi rammed into Clumsy with full force, just as the bucket fell with a thud. Clumsy tumbled into the tall brush a few feet away.

"Ha! See Scruple, my plan worked!" said Gargemel said as he flipped over the bucket with the green smurf inside, glaring down at it.

Scruple looked more closely at Yoshi. He had never seen a green smurf before. What if it was sick and Gargy ate it? A small smirk appeared on his face.

Yoshi glared up at the red head with a glare. He hoped that Clumsy was long gone. Whoever these humans were they weren't gonna go after Clumsy either. What did they want with him?

"Hmm…So you were trying to catch a blue smurf but instead you caught the green one? Whoa, I'm impressed for now, but knowing you, I'll be disappointed soon, so ima just wait this out." Scruple smirked and hit the bucket.

"Hey! Stop that, you….mole!" Yoshi stood up dizzily, but with a glare. So he didn't have a great comeback, but it was very comical watching the red head's face flush with anger.

"I'm not a mole, you broccoli!" Scruple growled back.

"I'm not broccoli, you are!" Yoshi snapped back. Although he didn't mind broccoli, it was just a veggie. Not. That. Bad.

"Why you litte-!" Scruple leaned forward to possibly take the bucket and fill it with water to see if the discolored smurf could swim. Well that was his intention, but Gargemel yanked it away before the boiling red made his prize escape.

"Ok! Stop it you nim-whit, let's take it home. See how a green smurf tastes." Gargemel growled and stalked away.

Scruple eyed the wizard who was making himself smaller by walking down the path. Scruple looked around for the blue smurf they were…well Scruple was going after. Of course he was nowhere to be found. Although he hated smurf almost as much as Gargemel, that didn't mean they were completely stupid. No smurf would just sit there while it's friend was in the hands of the enemy. He looked down at Azriel's tail that was twirling around as the cat dug a hole in the ground.

Scruple sighed. "Stupid Cat." He grabbed the tail, resulting in a yowl and drug him away, following Gargemel's trail.

…..…..

(~With Clumsy~)

Clumsy ran. He had never ran so fast. He ran through the forest, through tall grass and thick bushes. He hadn't even tripped on-…BAM….He quickly picked himself off the ground and took off again. He had spoken to soon. But he didn't care, he had to smurf help. He HAD to. No matter if he fell over one hundred times. Who knew what Gargemel would do to a green smurf, it was bad enough by what he did to the blue.

He ran and fell, fell and ran. But mostly ran. He didn't realize he went this far from the village. Once passing the big oak and the lower part of the river, he knew he was close. He skidded into the smurf village and ran straight for Papa Smurf's house.

"Oh no!" He yelped, he had forgotten that Papa Smurf went to Homnibus's.

He thought for a second who could help him.

He gasped. "Oh I know, Brainy!" he panted, taking off toward Brainy's house. He turned the corner of Papa Smurf's house when he rammed into something solid.

"Ahh!...Oh it's you Clumsy?...Wait What's wrong?" The voice said. It was Smurfette. Clumsy immediately got up frantically.

"Help! Gargemel got Yoshi! It's all my fault. If I had been more alert then Yoshi wouldn't have saved me! But now we gotta go save him!" Clumsy's eyes were huge and full of determination and fear.

By now, other smurfs have heard the commotion and was gathering around to see what was wrong with their friend.

Even Brainy, who heard Smurffette scream. But then he saw Clumsy. 'Really? Was he so clumsy that he can't even keep Smurfette from screaming?' He thought bitterly. But wait. Something was missing. Where was that green smurf? He curiously watched in the crowd.

Heft was the first to step toward the frantic Clumsy.

"Clumsy, calm down. We will get Yoshi back, now tell us what smurfed."

"W-w-w-well..Yoshi was showing me this water smurf ball game that he and his friends play. Then he ht it into the bushes and I went to smurf it. But then Gargemel and Azreil and Scruple came out of nowhere…and…then Yoshi smurfed me! Now we gotta smurf him!" Clumsy pulled away from Hefty and pointed towards the forest.

"Alright, alright. Me, and Handy will go help Yoshi and Clumsy." Hefty said as Handy stepped up with a grin ready to help in any way he can.

"Wait! I'm going to and so is Brainy." Smurfette's voice cut in.

Brainy, before he had time to react was pushed from the crowd next to Smurfette. He really didn't want to save the green smurf. He didn't trust him and he also didn't know why everyone liked him so much.

"Go Brainy." Smurfette smirked pushing Brainy forward a bit. Something was going on with Brainy. Ever since Yoshi got here. He has been much more moodier lately and he seemed to be avoiding everyone, especially Clumsy and Yoshi. And besides, Clumsy was Brainy's best friend and should be willing to help Clumsy. Just like Handy is with Hefty.

Brainy huffed. "Ladies first."

When Smurfette didn't move. He grumbled following Hefty and Handy follow the hysterical Clumsy. He felt Smurfette follow him as well.

Clumsy ran ahead of everyone else. Well he walked fast, also watching the ground so he wouldn't fall. He felt kind guilty. Yoshi was new here and didn't know his way around and Clumsy did. Clumsy felt like he was supposed to make sure Yoshi didn't get eaten, or stolen in the forest. But he failed. Now he HAD to get Yoshi back.

When they made it to Gargemel's house. They stopped. Clumsy was about to run off to look into the window when he felt someone grab his arm.

"Wait, Clumsy. Ok, Handy, Clumsy and I will go get Yoshi. Smurfette and Brainy, you two keep watch." Hefty said firmly.

With that, they all climb up to the window sill and looked inside. Yoshi was now inside a hanging bird cage. He was glaring at Scruple who was also glaring and chained to a bolted in chair. Azriel was sitting on the ground looking up at the slight swinging bird cage.

"I am not a hobbit!" Scruple snapped back pulling at the chair, ready to throw the green smurf into the fire place.

"Yes, you are! They have tempers and are short, there for you are a hobbit!" Yoshi glared back, smirking

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

The fighting went on for at least five more minutes till Gargemel burst into the room. His hair was a bird's nest and his eyes were a little crazed.

"ENOUGH!" His eye twitched as he stared at all three of them. "I am trying to find a recipe on cooking a green smurf! I can't take it anymore! You two are both hobbits and the cat is a dog! I need quietness!"

Yoshi held in his burst of laughter, instead he huffed and plopped down on the bird bench.

Scruple huffed as well. He loosened his pull on the chair and plop down in it as well. "Stupid smurfs, always getting me in trouble…I atta…" He grumbled watching the swinging smurf.

Azriel, who freaked out about Gargemel's outburst was hiding under the table.

The smurfs blinked. Yoshi didn't even look scared or anything and he was fighting with Scruple.

"…Ok, let's go." Hefty, Handy, and Clumsy crawled into the house. They did a complete circle around the fiery red head and the now tired looking cat. They climbed up on the fire place cautiously. Clumsy was the first to get to the top.

"Pttsss…Yoshi." Clumsy was at the pole where it was attached to the swinging bird cage.

Yoshi snapped his head toward the voice that called him. He climbed to the edge to look out of the bars to see Clumsy and two other smurf's, who were called Hefty and Handy.

"Clumsy….How? You..." How did they even get here?

"Shh…Were gonna smurf you out." Clumsy started to climb up the pole.

"Clumsy, wait!" Hefty said once he realized what Clumsy was going for. Handy looked down. It was a long drop for a smurf. But the way Clumsy was going was even higher.

Smurfette and Brainy was sitting there on the window sill watching intently. Smurfette had a look of horror while Brainy was staring in shock.

Once Clumsy made it to the top of the pole, he slide down to the top of the bird cage, and then slid down the bars to the cage door. Clumsy was very shocked with himself. He didn't know he could do all this. He got a glimpse at Brainy who was staring at him as if he was the one that turned green. Everything was quiet as he pushed on the door hinge. He let go of one bar, holding himself up with the other hand. He heard small gasps when he did this.

"Clumsy, be careful…I don't think you should do that." Yoshi said, watching Clumsy with wide eyes.

No. Clumsy was determined. It was his fault that Yoshi was in here and Clumsy would be the one to get him out. He gave one last push of the hinge and the little needle popped out, but Clumsy lost his grip to that. The door needle fell to the ground with a cling.

The soft noise woke Azriel up and Scruple finally took notice of the rescuers.

"Smurfs! Gargie! Gargie! Smurfs!" He flew up from the chair to try to reach them but yelped as he flew backwards from the chain on his wrists. Azriel jumped on the table to get a better view of what was going on and to get his chance to have a little snack if it came to that.

Gargemel rushed out the door, with a spoon. He had been experimenting with flavors when the stupid kid rudely interrupted him. His eyes widened as he saw the escaping smurfs.

"Smurfs! Come on!" Smurfette yelled at them.

"Come on Clumsy!" Yoshi, who had managed to get out and was ahead of Clumsy looked down on him as he climbed up the pole. Clumsy tried to climb faster, but his grip slipped. The next thing he knew he was falling, but his hand caught the bottom of the cage at just the right moment. He looked down. It was a long drop from here, shorter than the fire place now but still a long drop.

Gargemel rushed at the hanging smurf. But he slid on spilled water that he had failed to clean up earlier before. 'Stupid Kid!' He thought as he slid toward the chained Scruple. As he flew past, he hit the cage. It jumbled. Yoshi had managed to keep a hold of the pole, but Clumsy wasn't so lucky.

The next thing Clumsy knew, he was falling…again. But this time he had nothing to hold on to. Azriel jumped at him when he was 4 ft off the ground, but missed, only clawing Clumsy's arm as he landed in a pot.

The smurf's watched in horror has Clumsy landed on the wooden floor with a thud.
