Welcome back everyone! As promised, here is chapter 4 :) I had a great birthday and it was a nice family bonding experience. I'm more of a family type of girl, but I don't mind a party or two, also it wasn't just my birthday. But my twin brother's too and my anniversary with my boyfriend, which is quite amazing :) Thx u to those who gave me wonderful birthday wishes. Oh, and Happy 65th Smurf Anniversary! Also I am pretty much a big cat know it all, so cats can actually inhale a particular scent through their mouth glands and how the whiskers can be used as a measuring tool to tell if they are in tight spaces and can squeeze through or not.
Third Person POV
It had been a few days since Smurfette's training, and surprisingly to her, it was quite a bit easy. Hefty wasn't the only one who helped her, but also Wild Smurf too. Wild Smurf was raised by squirrels and knows a lot about critters, he can talk a bit of Smurf language but only in third person. Yet, Wild helped Smurfette with understanding her "cat like" abilities, such as climbing up trees, using her claws, having great night vision, and how she might have some moments where she feels like hunting, whether it's play or actual hunting. Even Hefty was quite impressed with how much control and somewhat patience that Smurfette has now, he gave Smurfette a little bit of advice on defending not just herself, but others too. Honestly, it didn't really change that much, except for just being a feline cat, who have a lot more experience with using their instincts.
Smurfette was in the middle of training, and was once again, practising her running through the use of all her four limbs, then Hefty would try to hide, so she could detect his scent. This time, Smurfette stopped, sniffed the air and looked toward the bushes with her mouth open. According to Wild, this is because cats can inhale any new or specific scent through their mouth glands, in which could be a great advantage to find any Smurf or creature, or even for serious purposes. Then, she lifted her paw and found Hefty straight away.
Hefty's POV
Wow, I can't believe she found me quicker this time! Her skill are getting more and more smurfy! Then again, she is still the same Smurfette... the same one I - I love... I smile lovingly. Hold up! What am I smurfing?! Then I see Smurfette smile at me and she playfully placed her paw gently on my chest knocking me down!
"Oof!," I grunted, I won't deny, despite me being the strongest Smurf yet, she is somehow able to literally knock me down, even in cat form.
I then gently lifted her paw off my chest, and then I look at her eyes, they still look smurfy as ever. Then, unexpectedly she comes right close to my face and I see her pink nose bump onto mine, I won't deny that I was more than ready to kiss her.. but, she instead started to sniff me, it made me blush. Then when she stopped, she looked at me again, I gulped feeling a bit nervous..
Smurfette's POV
After I sniffed Hefty, to make sure it was him, he seemed quite..nervous? So I bent down, eye level with him to make sure he is okay. Then, he realised what I was doing and sat down on the ground with me.
"Hey Hefty, are you okay? You seem quite distracted? " I said concerned.
"H-huh? Oh yeah, I-I'm just smurfy as ever Smurfette.. don't worry about me." Hefty said sheepishly.
As much as I trust Hefty, I sometimes forget that he can be a terrible liar, Smurfette thought. I shook my head smiling and let Hefty climb onto my paw and go on my back. Both of us said goodbye to Wild, as we settled for the village.
Later, at night in the forest
Third Person POV
As Hefty and Smurfette were walking on their way back to the village, Hefty couldn't help, but rub Smurfette's scruff as she was walking. To Smurfette, it felt somewhat comforting to her, and she will admit that she feels something for Hefty, but as in not just friendship..
"So... We are still a great team huh?," Smurfette inquired, this left Hefty confused and he was curious..
"Of course, But Smurfette why do you say that? You know you can tell me anything," Hefty said as he quickly hopped off her back and stopped in front of her to talk. Smurfette wasn't really sure how or what to say to him, she thought that it would ruin what they already have: a special unbreakable bond. Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her right paw, Hefty held her paw with both hands and she couldn't help, but purr in happiness, so she snuggled her head onto Hefty himself. So there they were, Hefty holding Smurfette's head as she continues her soothing purrs.
Smurfette's POV
So there I was, the strong Smurf holding my head and caressing it as my purrs slowly move in me. I think it's not time..not yet.. so I'll just do something.. I then get the courage to give Hefty a gentle lick, well kiss on his cheek and rub his face. I won't deny that I could feel my whole face turning quite hot so as I rubbed my face on Hefty, I also hid it as well afraid of his reaction. Then, suddenly I could hear someone..no some Smurfs screaming and smell smoke?...
Hefty's POV
"She literally just kissed my cheek! Oh my Smurf! This really did happen! Hefty thought giggly. Then as Hefty came back to his senses, with his face being quite hot due to the big amount of blushing, he looked at Smurfette and noticed that she was looking at the village further down. He then realised what was going on.. there was a fire in the village!
Oh no! What's going to happen?! I will do chapter 5 as soon as I can :)
