Hi once again, readers. This is the third story to my smurf saga. If you haven’t already, then I suggest you to please read ‘The Smurfette Village’ and ‘Return to the Smurfette Village’ before reading this story. There may be some scenes that will be mentioned that have been introduced in the previous stories (for example, the smurfettes).

The first few chapters in this story could sound confusing at first, but as the chapters evolve all will be explained. My madness has a reason for telling this story as it has for all my fan fiction stories. Feel free to make guesses on what will happen or why things are happening the way they are in this story. I will look forward in hearing your reviews as I post each chapter.

As usual, I do not own the Smurfs, but I have created the smurfettes right from childhood. These stories are for fun, and in no way am I making any profit from them.

Enjoy the story!

Chapter 1: Strange Awakening

YEAR 2005 – Somewhere in Europe, High in the Mountains

At first glance the cave appears to be deserted. Everything is covered in dust and cobwebs dangle from all corners. It does, however, show that it once had an occupant that may have lived in this cave. There are statues all around the cave of a strange dark demon-like creature, and a stone thrown with a carved word that faded through time. The word barely makes out as ‘Asmoday’. It sits, barely standing at the far end of the cave. Apparently the occupant must have abandoned this cave a long time ago.

The calm stillness of this dead surroundings is suddenly shattered by a rumbling noise. Over towards a narrow tunnel crackling sounds comes from the stone at the end. Light seeps through the cracks as the large stone shatters into small pieces and fall. Outside two smurf shape silhouettes stand, one smurf is holding a glowing red stone and the other is holding a glowing blue stone.

“Well, that wasn’t so bad!” A young female voice echoes in the cave from outside.

“What’d I tell ya? Piece of cake!” A young male voice spoke next. The owner of the voice takes a step forward to investigate the walls of the entrance after putting his glowing blue stone into his carry bag. He is indeed a smurf. But not a normal smurf, no, he has an entirely different wardrobe on one that you would not see an ordinary smurf wear. His outfit is close to one that a student from China might wear. The smurf hat is longer down the back of his head, and a fold just in front of his ears. From his hat to his shoes, the smurf’s outfit is all dark purple, save for the buckles in front of his shirt. They are white. On his left ear, the smurf also wears a small gold loop earring.

“Yes. Well… Now for the difficult part. To find the sleeping smurfs.” The owner of the female voice walks in. She is a blond smurfette with pink streaks. On her face she has on purple and light blue eye and lip make up. Her outfit is a dark purple hat with matching top, long sleeve fingerless gloves, and high top boots that ride up past her knees. The skirt is light pink that is split on both sides, exposing her long booted legs. On both of her ears, she wears one long gold loop earring, and one small loop gold earring. She too puts her glowing red stone into her own carry bag before walking past the smurf.

“Do you have to make this sound harder then it really is. I’m sure this will be like…” The male smurf stops to notice that many of rock formations all look similar as do as the crystals that grow around the cave as well. Everything is covered with a thin layer of dust and cobwebs.

“…like finding a needle in a hay stack.” He grumbles.

“HA! And you thought this would be an easy mission.” The smurfette laughed.

“Oh, smurf-up and help search for our sleeping smurfs, will ya! This place gives me the creeps.” The smurf groaned.

“Hmm… Now if I were two smurfs trapped in hibernation crystals, where would I be?” The blond punk smurfette thought out loud.

She peered down at an odd shaped stone. It looked slightly bit different from the others. By the looks of it, it just might be big enough to hold a smurf inside. The smurfette investigated the stone closely. She took a guess and figured that the stone must have stood straight up at one time. The smurfette started whipping the dirt off the top. A big smile grows on her face once she notices a smurf figure trapped inside.

“Hey, dim wit. Over here! I found one of them!” She cries out to her partner at the other end of the cave.

“Do you mind? We are supposed to be professionals now. The Elders trained us especially for this mission. I personally don’t think name calling is appropriate at all.” The smurf said, crossing his arms in protest.

“Whatever,” the smurfette chuckled. “Just help me lift him up will ya!”

“Why don’t we just use our magic to lift him?” The smurf shrugged as he holds up his right hand and wriggled his fingers, causing twinkling lights to pop up.

“No. You heard the Elders. We must only use our magic to remove the barricade that blocked the entrance, and to free the sleeping smurfs. Otherwise, we are wasting too much of our energy.” The smurfette lectured.

“Yap, yap, yap.” The smurf mocked, as he used his other hand as a talking puppet. “Fine, you win, Madam Elder.” He finished with a gentlemen’s bow.

“That is not even funny! You are so going to get it when this mission is over.” The smurfette growled, as the two of them struggled to lift the trapped smurf in heavy crystal. They finish by leaning the crystal up against the wall of the cave near where the large throne is.

“Man,” the smurf panted, “Dude, when this is all over I totally recommend you going on a diet.” He jokes to the smurf in the crystal.

“There,” the smurfette said with a sigh of relief, “now where did his mate get too?”

The smurf turned around to glance at some other crystals and stones that appeared to look all alike. There is one that catches his attention, however. One that looks so close to the one they had just lifted. He starts wiping the surface and smiles to see a female form of a smurf with golden hair.

“Here she is.” He chirps. “Ok, at the count of three, we lift.”

“One, two, three…” They both chime before lifting the other heavy crystal.

After placing the smurf shaped crystal up beside the other one, the two smurfs stop to take a breather.

“I say step two has been completed.” The male smurf addresses.

“Agreed. Now to begin step three.” The smurfette says, pulling out a red ruby-like stone with a gold rim out of her carry bag. The same one she used when she and the smurf broke down the barricade. It looks like it is only half of a stone shaped Egyptian beetle.

“Right. The sooner we do this, the sooner we can get home and eat.” The smurf adds, as he too pulls the other half of the beetle, but it is a blue sapphire stone.

“You are always hungry.” She giggles, holding up her stone with her left hand.

“Hey, I’m a growing smurf.” He explains, holding his stone up beside hers with his right hand.

“Oh yeah? Are you trying to grow up or out?” The smurfette laughed.

“Ha, ha! Laugh it up, will ya? Why don’t you start?” The male smurf grins.

“Sure. Why not?” The smurfette nods. With a serious expression, she begins to focus her attention to the two sleeping smurfs inside the crystals. Raising her right hand up towards the smurfette’s crystal, she begins to chant, “Toughette and Hefty Smurf.”

“The strongest smurfs of the old village.” The male smurf adds while raising his left hand up to the sleeping smurf’s crystal.

“We release the curse that has trapped you, so awake now!” The both of them chorus at once.

The two color stoned beetle reunites as one and begins to glow brightly as do the eyes of the smurfs holding it. A strong wind mysteriously blows inside the cave causing the cobwebs and dust to fly off the crystals. Gradually the crystals melt away, exposing more of the features of its trapped occupants.

“It’s working!” The smurfette shouts with glee.

As more of the crystal melts away, Hefty and Toughette slowly show signs of breathing once more and waking up. Their feet touch the ground, but at first their body is still so numb that they need to lean up against the wall of the cave for support.

The two smurfs that freed them watch with excitement as the young couple come out of hibernation.

“Welcome back Hefty and Toughette. It sure has been a while.” The young smurf chirps, stepping up towards them.

“What? Where are we? H-h-how did we get here?” Toughette asked sleepily while rubbing the tiredness from her eyes and looking at her strange surroundings.

“Yeah. Who are you two?” Hefty asked once his sight focused more.

“You…you don’t recognize us, Hefty?” The young blond punk smurfette asks in a disappointed tone.

“No. I’m I supposed too?” He answers flatly.

“Oh, forgive us. You probably don’t know us by are names yet.” The punk smurf says with a hint of embarrassment.

“And they are?” Toughette speaks up in an irritably manner.

“I am Sorcerette, and this is Sorcerer Smurf.” The punk smurfette said politely.

“Like I said, it has been a long time since you’ve seen us. That is probably why we don’t seem familiar to you.” The young smurf said.

“We’ve met before?” Hefty asked trying to sake the cobwebs out of his head.

“Oh now this is really embarrassing.” The punk smurfette blushed. “They might not recognize us, because they don’t know us by our names now. Betcha you would know if we told you the names we originally went by.” She said.

“And they were?” Toughette asked, showing herself as becoming very impatient by the minute.

The two young smurfs looks at each other and smiles before turning back to Hefty and Toughette.

“We were formally known as Babette and Baby Smurf.” Sorcerer Smurf said.

Both Hefty and Toughette’s jaws instantly dropped. How was this possible? Many more questions formed in their minds. Questions like, why were they even in this cave? How did they get here? Where are Papa Smurf and Mama Smurf? Why aren’t they here? And, how long were they really out? There are just so many questions that not one single one could get out.

Sorcerette and Sorcerer Smurf noticed their struggle with comprehending all of this. Their faces grew very nervous as they would try and figure out a way to calm them and explain with little details.

“N-n-now we understand that you two may have a lot of questions right about now.” Sorcerer stutters, holding his hands out in ‘halt’ fashion.

“But you will have to trust us, ok. A lot, and I mean a lot, of time went by. That and your memories may seem foggy at first, but they will clear up in time… I hope.” Sorcerette finishes in a whisper.

“Just answer us one question.” Toughette said in a demanding voice.

“Um, o-o-ok.” Sorcerer nervously shrugged.

“How long were really in this cave? It couldn’t have been more then hundred and fifty years. I mean you two were babies when we last saw you. Now you are practically the same age as us.” Toughette points out.

“Yeah. Well… It has been just a little bit longer then a hundred and fifty years for you two.” Sorcerette says, trying to tip-toe around the subject.

“How long!” Hefty snaps loudly. His booming voice echoes off the walls of the cave.

The un-expectancy of volume Hefty’s voice had made the magic smurfs jump.

“Aaah, I’d say just over five hundred years.” Sorcerer said in a sheepish voice.

“WHAT?” Both Toughette and Hefty shouted in shock.

“No, no. That doesn’t make sense.” Toughette said shaking her head and calming herself down a bit. “If it really has been over five hundred years you two would be much older.”

“Ok, yes. True. But like you two, Sorcerette and I have also been in these hibernation crystals for some time.” Sorcerer explains.

“We were finally released over a hundred and fifty years ago by the Elders.” Sorcerette added.

“Elders?” Toughette raises her eyebrow in curiosity.

“That’s enough questions. Please, you must trust us, and let us take you home. I’m sure by then your memories will hopefully return.” Sorcerette tries to assure the confused smurfs. She and Sorcerer Smurf begin to lead the strong smurfs out of the cave.

“Yes. Take us back to the Smurf Village. Maybe Papa Smurf or Mama Smurf could explain a few things to us.” Hefty said, crossing his arms.

Sorcerer and Sorcerette paused. They are not sure how to tell them. With sadness in their eyes, they turned back to Hefty and Toughette. Right away the two strong smurfs realized something is not right.

“Th-There is still a Smurf Village…right?” Hefty asked nervously.

“In a word…no.” Sorcerer could barely make the words come out. He worries more of Hefty and Toughette’s reaction now though.

“I don’t understand. What happened?” Toughette gasped.

“Toughette please,” Sorcerette pleaded, taking the golden blond smurfette’s hand into hers. “You have to trust us. Your memories are temporarily gone. It is the side effect from being inside these hibernation crystals for a length of time. But don’t worry; you will regain your memories very soon.”

“Yes. And in the meantime, let us take you home. Our new home.” Sorcerer says.
