It was a bright sunny morning and Papa Smurf gathered the smurfs for a meeting, "Oh right smurfs," he said in pride, "Today we are going to forage for smurfberries, its that time of year where the smurfberries are ripe and smurfy. Everyone grab a basket and head out to the smurfberry patch."

It seems just an other ordinary day, I grabbed a basket and followed my fellow smurfs to the smurfberry patch as Papa Smurf leads them on. "How much smurfberries you think you're going to smurf Brainy?" asked Clumsy.

"I don't know," I said, "Maybe how much I can carry I guess."

Seems wise, because when we got there the whole smurfberry patch contained more smurfberries than there ever has been in centuries. "Alright smurfs," said Papa Smurf, "Start picking."

We all disperse and began picking random bushes, I walked to the farthest edge of the smurfberry patch and approached one of the bushes. Seems a decent size, I picked one of the smurfberries in order to try it. It taste delicious, like really smurfy. As I gathered smurfberries, I can't help to wonder what Chernov is doing. This grass green smurf who stands 4 apples tall and wears woodland camoflage, he has a set of brown hair on his head and has the slight body anatomy of a human. As he's half human.

His story is a long one, all that I can tell is that he took up residence near the lake about a year ago. Became what he calls himself a chemist, which I think was similar to alchemy. He rarely appears in the day, but is normally seen during the late PM hours and the early AM hours at night. A nocturnal creature, who is becoming more isolated with each passing week.

Not much smurfs knew what he does during his leisure time, it's been known that he sleeps most of the day. Its difficult to tell what he's doing in his home as he had his windows tinted and security bars placed over them, he claims his windows are bulletproof which is proven as he had Hefty try to smash a demonstration sample with a sledgehammer. Once he smashed it, the glass showed no evidence of damage.

No one can't get through the windows, nor can we get through his front door which is made out of steel instead of wood, it seems that he barricaded himself inside his home and shield himself from the outside world. His home stands out in the Smurf Village thanks to this ridiculously tall chimney on his home, it spews out thick black smoke on a daily basis so that could explain why he made it so tall.

I lost my train of thought when something caught my eye, a fly of some sort. But this was not some ordinary fly, it was gray and it had bright red eyes. It looked creepy at first glance, but it seems friendly as it was getting it's food from a nearby flower. I watched it as it dug into the flower awhile sucking out its nectar, it suddenly stopped and turned it's head towards me.

The Gray Fly looked at me, it had this curious expression on its face when it saw me. I literally froze, I did not know what to do as the fly simply looked at me as if it was interested in me. So I pulled out a jar out of my pants that I was going to use for catching fireflies tonight and removed the lid, I approached the fly carefully and tried to catch it. The Gray Fly managed to jump out of the way in time and then it flies away, all I caught was the flower it was resting on earlier.

The fly didn't go that far as it approached a fellow smurf, the smurf was totally unaware of the fly as he was picking smurfberries. So the Gray Fly was quick when it managed to sting him in the tail, causing the smurf to yelp. "Ow!" cried the smurf as he grabs his tail, "Something bit me."

He turned around and saw the Gray Fly flying away, then he turns towards me. "What is that?" he asked, still holding onto his tail.

"Looks like a Gray Fly," said Brainy, "I'm sure Papa Smurf might know, I think he finds you very smurfy."

"Brainy, your jokes are horrible." snapped the smurf as he turns around and storms away.

I proceed in trying to catch the Gray Fly, and so I sneaked behind it again as it lands on another flower. I rushed behind it and enclosed the jar on top of him, "Got yeah!" I said. The fly quickly flew onto the side of the jar, then I lift the jar up and quickly screw the cap back on. "Well that was easy," I said to myself as I held the jar up to eye level and examined the fly up close, "Now back to business."

I stuck the Gray Fly into my basket and resumed picking smurfberries, basically covering the Gray Fly's jar as I fill up my basket. Once my basket was filled, I gathered around with the smurfs as we head back to the village. I soon took out the Gray Fly from my basket, hid it in my pants, and hand my basket to Clumsy. "I gotta talk to Papa Smurf for a moment Clumsy," I told him, "Can you smurf this basket for me?"

"Sure Brainy," said Clumsy.

Clumsy took my basket as I tried to find Papa Smurf, that's when I saw Chernov walking into Papa Smurf's lab. Looking around to make sure nobody's watching me, I rushed over to Papa Smurf's open window where I heard a conversation between him and Chernov, "Something happened in the Green Smurf colonies," I heard Chernov's voice say, "I'm going over there to see what's happening, keep an eye out as whatever is happening there can happen here."

"Well what is happening?" asked Papa Smurf.

"Some smurfing illness," said Chernov, "They said it's Rabies slash Influenza or something, I'm going to see if it poses a threat to the Smurf Village. Here's the key to my house, if you need anything you can find it there."

"What about the other smurfs?" asked Papa Smurf, "Especially Brainy and Handy, you think they want access."

"I didn't say want, I said if you need anything. That goes to Brainy and Handy who has special privileges to my lab, I'm placing great trust in you Papa Smurf as a gratitude for trusting me."

"Okay Chernov, I'll see you later."

"Kay Paps, bye."

I heard the door open and slam shut soon afterwords, I stuck my head around the corner and saw Chernov walking back to his house. When Chernov is out of sight, I walked around the corner and knocked on the door. "Papa Smurf?" I called.

"Come in." said Papa Smurf.

When I open the door, Papa Smurf was right there sitting on a table. "You need anything Brainy?" asked Papa Smurf.

"Can you tell me what's this?" I asked as I pulled out the Gray Fly, the look on Papa Smurf's face was priceless when he seen the fly.

"I have no idea what this is?" he asked as I handed the Gray Fly to him so he can examine it, "Where did you find this fly?"

"I found it smurfing around in the smurfberry patch this morning," I said, "I managed to catch it after it bit a smurf on the tail."

"Yeah, a smurf was complaining on being bitten on the tail this morning," said Papa Smurf, "This fly looks similar to the Purple Fly, this does not look good indeed."

The Gray Fly seemed rather patient as it just sit there, staring at Papa Smurf. "I may need to study this fly," he says, "I'm also going to find the smurf this fly bit, see if he is having any ill effects from the bite."

"Okay Papa Smurf," I said, "I'll see you later."

"Bye Brainy."

I left Papa Smurf's lab and went back to my schedule as normal, reading encyclopedia books and getting kicked out of the village yet again. By the time the sun was just about to set, I saw Chernov leave to the Green Smurf colonies.

These green smurfs Chernov talked about earlier are human smurf hybrids created just a few months after Chernov was born, over half of them are females and they also wore woodland camouflage. The males also have hair, similar to Chernov but more thicker. The green smurfettes usually have short hair, just trimmed to their ears. They kind of remind you of an evil version of Smurfette because their faces sure look similar to her before she changed.

They're quite a curiosity, even Chernov seemed to be amazed by them. There isn't just one green smurf village but 10 seperate ones, connected by roads. They're quite advanced for all I know, they make their own electricity to power LEDs. Chernov seems to love us enough that he lived in our smurf village despite being the green smurf's papa smurf, the green smurfs don't even need a leader to function.

Just as I walked back to my house, I soon looked back and noticed Chernov was gone. Odd, he was just walking nearby just a few seconds ago. I didn't give much thought of it at the time, so I turned back towards my door. Just as I opened my front door, something hit me on the head and everything went black.
