Vexy made sure her shadow was facing the big rock behind her

Vexy: They could have scaly skin

Her shadow had spikes on its back

Vexy: And sharp claws

Her shadow's hands had claws

Vexy: With big beady eyes!

She made eye shadow puppets

Vexy: Lastly they could have-

Clumsy: Hands!

Vexy was quiet for a second before she started laughing with everyone else

Smurfette: Listen it doesn't matter what they look like. We still have to warn them.

Brainy, Clumsy, Hefty and Vexy all nodded

Vexy: Gargamel is wrong about me and Smurfette. I may be naughty... but I genuinely care about you all... And I'm sorry I don't show it more

Smurfette and Clumsy: Aww!

Brainy: That was... Unexpected

Hefty tried not to laugh

Vexy: Oh don't be so dramatic!

Hefty: Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere!

Brainy: We're not going anywhere

Hefty: That too

Everyone starting laughing again

Brainy: Okay everyone. Smurfy selfie time!

The five of the grouped together while Snappy flew in front of them

Brainy: Say blue cheese!

All: Blue cheese!

Snappy took their picture and clumsy yawned

Clumsy: I'm gonna get my sleeping bag ready!

Smurfette: Me too

As everyone set up their sleeping bags Vexy noticed Hefty staring at Smurfette

Vexy: Not that tired are you?

Hefty snapped out of it trying not to blush

Hefty: Uh no not really t-to pumped you know? All part of the workout reunion-!

Vexy: Relax Hefty if you want to spend alone time with her then just ask.

Hefty: You're... Not stopping me?

Vexy: Just go before I change my mind

Hefty: Thank you!

He walked up to Smurfette who sat up from her sleeping bag

Smurfette: Can't sleep either?

Hefty: Not really. Hey since neither of us are tired would you want to take a walk? Just the two of us? If this place looks amazing during the day imagine how it looks during the night but don't worry we'll stay close to camp

Smurfette: That sounds wonderful!

She stood up

Smurfette: Shall we?

Hefty: W-We shall!

Vexy watched them leave

Vexy: I have to admit they're kinda cute together

_____________________________________

Hefty and Smurfette made it a little deeper into the forest

Smurfette: You were right Hefty. This place is beautiful even at night

Hefty: Told you

Smurfette stood under the flower then it glowed on her like a spotlight and Hefty just smiled

Hefty: If happiness was
a tangible thing It would
be you

Smurfette turned around to look at him

Hefty: If you'd have told
me the feeling you'd
bring I'd think it untrue

Smurfette blushed

Hefty: and people search
for a wonder like you all
of their lives and you still
amaze me after all this
time

He held out his hand and she took it

Hefty: you pull me in like
some kind of wind I'm
mesmerized by the hold
I'm in leave you here I
don't wanna I wanna

They both looked at the forest view

Hefty: promise as one
does I will protect you
at all costs to keep you
safe here in my arms I
I will protect you at all
costs at all costs

Smurfette: Wow

a bunch of fireflies flew around them

Smurfette: What's pain?
When I look at you? No
way I could explain you
even if tried to I'll never
dream like used to do

She looked at the at stars and back at Hefty

Smurfette: If someone
tried to hurt you I don't
see how that'll happen
I'd fight for you in ways
you can't imagine

Smurfette touched Hefty's chest

Smurfette: felt this no I
haven't I hope It would
be all right to stay right
here beside you

Hefty got excited and spun her around

Both: and promise as one
does I I will protect you
at all costs keep you safe
here

The two of them hugged

Both: in my arms I I will
protect you at all costs
at all costs

Hefty let go and held both her hands

Both: If you're ever feeling
like you're lost I'll come
find you man all fronts
there's no ocean I won't
swim across to be right
by you and not just once
here and now I swear on
my response I'll remind
you

Hefty gave Smurfette a flower that was glowing

Both: and I'll promise as
one does I I will protect
you at all costs to keep
you safe here in my arms
I I will protect you at all
costs at all costs

Hefty leaned in for a kiss

Smurfette: W-We should head back

Smurfette started walking back to camp

Hefty: Oh uh yeah sure...

_____________________________________

They both made it back to camp and Smurfette quickly fell asleep while Hefty just sat down by his sleeping bag

Vexy: So how did it go?

Hefty: Amazing... At first. But then she just wanted to leave

Vexy: Don't worry she just has a lot on her mind. We all do

Vexy fell asleep while Hefty sat there trying to stay quiet

Hefty: Did I make her uncomfortable? Did I go too far? Does she not feel the same way? Was she just tired? Am I overthinking this?!

Vexy sat up tired while everyone else was asleep

Vexy: Hefty... We have a long journey ahead of us so ask her all this at another time but now it's time for us to... GO TO SLEEP!

Somehow no one woke up

Hefty immediately laid back down and eventually fell asleep

The next day Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, Hefty and Vexy rode Bucky to a floating river

All: Whoa...

Hefty: It's like a workout for my eyeballs!

Vexy: Yeah well it's hurting mine

She rubbed her eyes

Smurfette: Okay, Bucky! Let's see how fast you can swim!

Bucky looked worried and didn't move

Smurfette: Come on boy! You can do it

The five of them got off Bucky to see what was wrong

Hefty: What's a little water?

Vexy: Can bunnies even swim at all?

Brainy: Yes but they're not very good at it

Bucky tried telling them something important

Clumsy: What's that Bucky? The river's unsafe and full of dangerous surprises at every bend?

Vexy: Oh now we have to go!

Bucky nodded happily

Brainy: I didn't get any of that. Perhaps Glowbunnies don't swim.

Hefty: That's too bad. We'd get there so much faster.

Brainy: Fear not, my intrepid Team Smurf! I didn't earn this raft-building merit badge for nothing

He showed the four of them a raft badge on the back of his backpack

Brainy: Lets do this!

Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, Hefty and Vexy worked together to make a big raft

Brainy: Boom! Nailed it!

Vexy: Correction Brainy! We nailed it!

Smurfette: Impressive, Brainy

Hefty found a flower that looked like a floaty and put it around Clumsy

Hefty: Here!

Clumsy: Oh! Stylish and practical

Vexy: What are we waiting for? Let's-

Brainy: Wait! This river may hold untold surprises. We must be cautious.

Hefty: Cautious. Good point. And heaven-

Brainy: Wait!

Vexy: Oh come on!

Brainy: The currents can be unpredictable. We must be alert and vigilant.

Hefty: Vigilance? Good call. Now three... two...

Brainy: Wait! We must make sure we always-

Vexy: Blah blah blah can't hear you! To busy on an epic quest!

Brainy: Alright fine!

The five of them pushed the raft into the river and quickly got on it

Smurfette: Bye Bucky!

The raft moved further down the river and Hefty ran on the spinning paddles to make it go faster

Then Vexy saw a lever in the corner

Vexy: What's this?
