PART TWO: A VILLAGE OVERTURNED
Looking back much, much later, Brainy was able to piece together much of what must have happened that day – as well as the chain of events that probably took place for things to turn out as they did. He was able to make an educated assumption on what it must have been like for Roesia, too.
The glowing smurfs' luminescence finally became visible to the average eye, and said smurfs were propelled by magical force into Roesia's special little part of the forest, a portion of the ground waiting for each of them. Before long, they were all lined up in place, forming a circle around her with each smurf equally

Clumsy opened his eyes, and it was impossibly bright – sunny. The sun was bearing down on him. No ceiling to block it out. He certainly wasn’t in his room. Had he really fallen asleep, right there on the forest floor? How long had he been sleeping for?
Brainy was sitting upright nearby, staring straight ahead. He turned slowly and looked at Clumsy as the accident-prone smurf got into a sitting position. The normally talkative smurf didn’t say anything, expression blank.
He could see Vanity too, next to Brainy but with some space between them. The same amount of distance separating Brainy and Clumsy, it looked like, with Br

Smurf Village Upturned, Chapter 11: Resolve
Papa Smurf was worried about Vanity. He’d been vaguely aware that something was amiss, but had just been so busy in the lab this past week. After all, it was hard to tell how much “being preoccupied with his mirror” was a cause for immediate concern when it came to a smurf like Vanity.
These were all things that Brainy Smurf knew by looking at Papa Smurf.
What he didn’t see was how smurfs had also been coming and telling Papa Smurf that there was something different about Brainy. This much, Papa Smurf suspected himself. He had tried to keep an eye on Brainy, but the other smurfs had also been keeping him so busy thes

It was no mystery to Baby Smurf who was “it”. His dreams as of late had been lined with mirrors, and large, oversized glasses of the exact same size that might as well have been mirrors. As he walked by them in the dream, he could see his own reflection in the lens. They were looking for him. But he didn’t want to be found. So he adapted. He started navigating Smurf Village carefully. He’d already been making himself scarce. Whoever he was with, whether it be Lazy or the smurflings, was stuck haplessly following him around in his efforts at avoidance lest they lose track of him – the little smurfling would not be

It didn’t matter who he looked at, or how hard he searched. There was never anything about him, not even a hint. Brainy did his best to cope with the overwhelming flood of information that each smurf bestowed upon him by mere virtue of existing – he was determined to at least make it all the way through breakfast without running off again. What was the point of having new powers if you weren’t able to handle using them? He’d just have to get accustomed to it. He’d demonstrate to Roesia that he was MORE than able to look into his own essence. Who could possibly know the brilliance of Brainy Smurf better than Brain

Chapter Seven: Illumination
The glow surrounding Vanity’s mirror faded, but the brilliant glow surrounding Vanity didn’t. Now surely, the moment the others saw him, they would suspect something was amiss?
Could Brainy glow, too? Or was it just Vanity? Was something particularly special about Vanity, that even he couldn’t see? Brainy wanted that brilliant, supernatural sheen too. It wasn’t fair…
“Smurf!” Brainy cried out as Vanity tripped over, taking Brainy down with him, “can’t you at least TRY to look where you’re going?”
Despite the mirror’s glow fading, its magic

Chapter Six: The Smurfs Who Knew Too Much
Wild’s birthday was celebrated as planned the next day. That night, Brainy wrote up a little note that he then tucked into his drawer, detailing the fact that he and Vanity would be going to meet Roesia and the nearby location she wished to bring them to. He wasn’t too overly worried… but he found it worthwhile to at least leave some kind of information that the smurfs would be able to find, just in case something went wrong. Over the years, both Brainy himself and his fellow smurfs had been captured many times by all kinds of humans or magic folk such as imps. In the past, Brainy w

When Papa sent Brainy and Vanity back to the village, they looked back only to see that he was not coming along with them, but rather remaining behind with Roesia for a little bit. He didn’t get to see her often, Vanity supposed. And it was always nice to chat to her, have someone to listen. Someone that existed outside of the dynamics of Smurf Village, wherein the mere act of talking to her would not influence those dynamics – someone who wouldn’t gossip. Someone who always seemed to know just what to say. Of course, Papa Smurf was always ready to have smurfs confide in him if they needed it, but he was also usually very bu

“I’m busy working hard on my latest works, and this is what I get! I’ve got to be the last smurf in the village who still hasn’t met this Roesia,” Brainy said, irritable as ever.
“Heh, I wouldn’t say so… Don’t think she’s actually met Baby yet,” Clumsy mused.
“Good. I don’t actually want to be left until last, so I’m going to see what all the fuss is about over this human in the forest.

Chapter Two: A Funerary Meeting

“Oh, Sassette, I… really don’t think Gargamel would have wanted me to be there… And it’s too risky, I can’t allow-“
“But Pappy,” Sassette pleaded, “Please.”
Papa Smurf nodded. “I know, I know…” he fell silent, lost in thought. “Okay, Sassette,” he finally relented. “If it is that important to you… I’ll go with you. I’ll take you to the funeral.”
Scruple was quite good at keeping them informed about the relevant information. It was unconventional, but he knew this was for Sassette.
