"What should we do Papa?" Smurfette asked as they strolled through the village.
"It's probably time I stepped in, but I don't think I can just tell them to. Those two aren't the best listeners." Papa stated.
Smurfette sighed, before catching sight of Jokey. She thought for a minute, and smiled.
"Hey Jokey, smurf over here for a second."
Jokey scrambled up to the duo, holding a box.
"I got a surprise for ya!" he laughed.
"That's okay Jokey, you can keep it. But, I've got an even smurfier idea. How would you like to help us smurf Gutsy and Grouchy?"
Jokey grinned as he nodded, and Smurfette and Papa glanced at each other with mischievous smiles.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Brainy sighed as he tossed the mop down and collapsed onto the floor.
"Finished…" he panted.
"Not bad laddie, I can actually see myself in the floor." Gutsy stated as he and Grouchy inspected the floor.
"Great, now give me back my book so I can smurf on with my life!"
"Don't worry, just a few more things and you'll be done." Grouchy stated.
"That's it, I'm done! I don't care anymore! It's not worth it!" Brainy shouted as he stormed towards the door, while grabbing a bag on the floor.
"Now you don't wanna do that, lad-"
"I don't care anymore! I just want to have some time to myself for like five minutes!"
"Alright then, if you need us we'll be in the dining hall sharin' a few of your remarks about Greedy's cooking."
"Fine! See if I smurfin care!"
As Brainy yanked the door open, Gutsy noticed the bag.
"Wait a sec, what's in the bag?" he demanded.
Brainy froze for a second.
"Umm, nothing, just some…stuff…"
"Give it."
"Err, look a distraction!" Brainy yelled, pointing behind them. They actually did turn around for a second, and that was all he needed. He yanked his journal out of the bag and bolted out the door.
"Hey!"
Gutsy and Grouchy raced after him.
"HEEEELP!" he shouted.
As he flew past a house, someone grabbed him and yanked him inside, shutting the door.
"Hey Brainy." Smurfette greeted with a smile.
"Er, hi Smurfette. I'm kinda smurfing for my life right now, so-"
"We know."
"We?"
Papa and Jokey came out of the other room behind her.
"Here," Jokey said, handing Brainy an exact replica of his journal, "Take that and let us have yours."
"Er, why?"
"Just take it and give it to Gutsy and Grouchy." Smurfette replied as she took the real book.
"I don't know what's going on, but-"
"Everything will be fine, my little Smurf, just get back out there." Papa said as he and Smurfette pushed him towards the door.
"What, no, I don't want to! They're gonna hurt me bad! Wait!"
They pushed him outside, right into Gutsy and Grouchy in fact.
"There you are, hand it over!" Gutsy snapped as he swiped fake book.
"Er, but-I-um-here ya go!" Brainy stammered.
Then Smurfette and Papa hastily yanked him back inside and slammed the door shut.
"What was that about?" Gutsy asked as Grouchy opened the journal, and noticed a fuse in between the pages.
"What the smurf?"
Then both their eyes widened as they figured it out.
"Oh smurf!-"
Inside, the Smurfs heard the explosion, and two screams that faded as if they were getting further away. Brainy glanced outside, and saw two smoke trails in the air that went up a few feet, before diving into the woods.
"What…just happened?" he asked after a few seconds.
"We got your journal back." Smurfette replied as she handed him his journal.
"Thanks but...why?"
"Because you were miserable, and we got Jokey to help since he smurfed you into this mess."
"Yeah, he did…" Brainy grumbled as he glared at said Smurf, who gave a sheepish grin.
"Okay, so, now that I got this back, I'm gonna do something I haven't been able to do in the last two days." Brainy stated.
"What's that?" Papa asked.
Brainy didn't reply. Instead, he toppled onto the floor, and was snoring seconds later. The trio of Smurfs chuckled, and moved him over to the couch.
"Well, that was fun! I'm gonna write this one down in my big book of jokes!" Jokey laughed as he exited the house.
Two pairs of hands grabbed him, and he was met with glares from two scorched Smurfs.
"Oh, hey Gutsy, hey Grouchy."
The duo said nothing, and started dragging him down the street.
"Heh, heh, where are we going?" he asked.
"Oh we're just gonna have a nice chat in the forest…" Gutsy growled in reply.
"Where no Smurf can hear you scream…" Grouchy added.
Jokey's eyes widened, and he gulped as they went through the invisibility wall.
