The Peradventures of Dreamy Smurf (a branch off from Smurfocalypse chapter 12)

Chapter 1: Cool Breeze and Chilling Waves

"Alright Smurfs! Its time yet again to set sail to Smurfberry island! We will get berries and seeds and return to the others with a hull of bounty! We will be heroes! Smurfing where no Smurf has ever Smurfed before!" Dreamy says with a smile, the cool ocean breeze blowing the feather in his hat and his cloak lightly in the wind.

"How long should this take us Navigator?" Dreamy asks.

"Well cap'n, if the weather fares this well and the wind keeps us at this speed we would arrive in 3 days… In reality though expect a few weeks!" Navigator says, staring into the horizon contently.

It wasn't long before Grouchy and Baby were barfing, Smurfette had a headache, the sounds and smell of vomit were most unpleasant, however, she had to watch Baby while the Smurfs did their chores and daily duties.

"I… H-Hate!…" that's all Grouchy could get out of his mouth in between barfs so he found himself repeating it over and over until he was well enough to say "sailing".

"Yuck! Grouchy! Your breath stinks!" Smurfette says, plugging her nose as Grouchy swayed miserably back and forth across the hull with a mop.

"I Hate yuck!" Grouchy blurted out, almost instantly in response.

"Ha! Don't worry Grouchy! It only takes a moment or so and you'll be use to it!" Dreamy says, as he passes Grouchy and gives him a pat on the back.

"I Hate a moment or so!" Grouchy says. Then his face turns green again and he runs for the edge of the hull.

"How are we on food Greedy?" Fisher asks, as he baits his hooks, readying them for casting.

"MMM.. Just Smurfy Fisher!" Greedy says, pile driving cakes into his mouth.

"You ok in here Architect?" Dreamy says, opening the door to the sailor's quarters.

Architect was affected by the sea too, he sat at his desk and held his head with both hands, his elbows on the desk supporting his pounding head.

"He should be just Smurfy after I Smurf him this new potion I mixed." Alchemist says, handing the vial to Architect.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Architect asked, holding it close to his eyes as if he were examining it.

"Well I took some and I seem to be alive. Much better too." Alchemist says.

"Well alright, can't argue with that." Architect says, as he downs it.

"You know? For a Smurf that's never Smurf a ship before you certainly have outdone yourself" Dreamy says, admiring the craftsmanship of the woodwork.

"Well, even though Handy has accomplished more then me invention wise. I couldn't help but to Smurf to him for help, despite me being a little older and I just gave in, better to learn from your betters you know? Rather then envy them and hate them. So I learned a thing or two from him and in the end it turned out I knew a few things myself that he didn't know ether. It turned out we were never really that different after all. To make a long story short Captain Dreamy, he showed me the blueprints of the SS Smurf II long ago." Architect says.

"Ether way you Smurfed a fine ship, she will last us many years I am certain! Because this time I am going to regularly cater to her." Dreamy says, with a chuckle.

"What do you suppose has become of Handy, Dreamy?" Architect asks.

"I bet he is on all kinds of Smurfy adventures! I am excited just thinking about it!" Dreamy says.

"You never see a down side to anything do you Dreamy?" Architect says.

"Nope! No way! I'm going to go out and look at the sea!" Dreamy says, as he flies out the door.

"Whoever knew Dreamy would ever amount to anything?" Alchemist says.

"I sure never did, I have a bad feeling about all of this… Dreamy is out of his Smurf and always has been… I don't trust him." Architect says.

"Then why did you agree to come along Architect?" Alchemist asks.

"Same reason any of us are out here Alchemist… Smurfberries." Architect says.

"I think Dreamy has matured a lot Architect… All he needed to do was Smurf what he was good at in life, and Dreamy has finally done it. I think we should give him a chance Smurfs." Smurfette said, as she walked in the door.

"You know.. Maybe Smurfette has a point Architect. You know, when you Smurfed that skysmurfer that nearly killed us all we didn't think any different of you." Alchemist says.

" And you Mariner. Remember the time Handy Smurfed you that ship that sailed underwater?" Smurfette asked Mariner, as he enters the room.

"But of course! I thought that Fish was gonna Smurf me for dinner!" Mariner says.

"Yeah, so you see Architect? Dreamy might have seemed a little weird at first. But what's important is that despite loosing 2 ships, Dreamy still goes on and never gives up, nor does he even consider the option. We could learn a lot from him." Alchemist says.

"You know Smurfs? I think your right! Maybe I am being a little hard on Dreamy, I think if any Smurf is going to get us to Smurfberry island and back alive it will be Dreamy, you know what Papa Smurf always says: "If at first you don't succeed, Smurf, Smurf again!" " Architect says.

"Adda Smurf Architect!" Alchemist says.

Baby Smurf showed his approval by waving his arms up and down and laughing, Smurfette put him down to let him crawl around the Sailor's Quarters and play.

"Hey, be careful not to let Baby outside ok? We don't want him to fall overboard!" Smurfette says, as she leaves the quarters with a broom.

"No problem Smurfette I'll watch him!" Alchemist says.

Smurfette walks into the kitchen where Greedy is of course baking and eating and ends up having a conversation with him that involved of course food, mainly the Smurfberry.

"I am just glad to be Smurfing in a REAL kitchen for once.. Smurfing over an open fire… It breaks my heart.." Greedy says, as Smurfette leaves.

"Hey Fisher, are the fish biting?!" Smurfette asks, in a sassy tone of voice to Fisher as she passes by him, who was half asleep holding his pole.

"Very Funny Smurfette!" Fisher replies, as his bobber goes under and he gets flung off the deck into the ocean with a priceless look of shock on his face.

"Smurf overboard!" Dreamy yells while laughing.

"I hate overboard!" Grouchy yells in the background.

Smurfette just giggles and enters the Sailor's quarters where she walked in on a rather embarrassing moment in which Alchemist and Architect were talking to Baby in Baby talk and playing with his toys with him. Baby of course was thrilled and as happy as he could be playing with his fellow Smurfs, but when Smurfette made a comment both Smurfs jolted right up and their faces turned red as they awkwardly cleared their throats.

It wasn't long before Mariner entered the room laughing and carrying on.

"Did you see the look on Fisher's face?! Priceless!" Mariner bent over to regain his breath and then joined the Smurfs at the dining table which would serve as the get together location on the ship for most conversation and idle chat among sailors.

Grouchy enters about an hour later, it was perhaps 3 turns of the glass he had been working and he still was not even near done. He checks himself for sunburn in a mirror upon entering and walks past the table mumbling to himself.

"Having fun out there Grouchy?" Smurfette says.

"I hate fun!… But it sure beats this anyday." Grouchy says as he cleans his face and puts a container of polish back in the cupboards.

"I could have sworn Dreamy had the ship polished, tarred, and moped already this morning before we set sail…" Architect says.

"HE WHAT?!" Grouchy was pissed, u could see the veins in his head pop out as he shook with rage, he was about to stomp his way out to the deck to tear Dreamy a new ass when Fisher barges threw the door soaking wet and absolutely 100% pissed off. The door smacked Grouchy upside the face and he was sent flying back towards the sleeping Quarters. He sat up and his face turned red.

"Every time!.. Every time I decide to fish something always goes wrong! And when I finally Smurf one for the first time in 50 years, some Smurf ruins it!" Fisher yells, and points a finger at Smurfette accusingly.

"Fisher! What's smurfing on with you all of a sudden?!" Alchemist says, jolting up from his chair.

"You stay out of this! I'm tired of this! All of you Smurfs have jobs your really good at and Smurfs like me and Hunter are always being the ones rarely appreciated!" Fisher screams.

Grouchy was slowly approaching Fisher with a look of shear rage from behind.

"You can't just blame Smurfette for your mistake Fisher! It's not right… Better luck next time pal relax.." Mariner says calmly.

"You don't understand! I almost had it Smurfs! Almost I could taste the fish! But then SHE had to ruin it!" Fisher yells again pointing the accusing finger at Smurfette who was beginning to tear up.

"Never again! I will never fish again! And you-!" Fisher starts to get In Smurfette's face when he felt a finger tap his shoulder which he responded to by turning around. Once he turned around he saw a blue fist flash past his vision followed by a strong pain in his jaw. Fisher fell on his ass and towering above him was Grouchy.

"Leave her alone Fisher…" Grouchy says and takes a step towards Fisher with his fist balled up still.

Fisher sits up and wipes his lip and looked to see blood on his wrist, a single tear filled his eye followed by a look of aggression. Fisher then rises to his feet and looks Grouchy right in the eye, though he was terrified and hurt, he had his pride.

"So.. Tough Smurf are ya?" Fisher says, as raises his fists.

Grouchy just scowled even more intensely and swung at Fisher again, this time sending his fist into his gut, Fisher screamed in pain and doubled over as Grouchy approached him again.

"I hate fighting!… But we can Smurf this the easy way or the hard way.. Give in and apologize Fisher Smurf.. We're all friends here…" Grouchy says.

Fisher was trying to catch his breath, he was hurt, his pride was broken, and he was tired of being the victim of a one line gag. The waves made him sick to his stomach, and the sun beating down all day with no shade was not helping, he was exhausted and did something way out of his personality that he deeply regrets. He stands up slowly, shaking and still grasping his stomach. He put secretly put his knife away which he was contemplating on using. He stands up and apologizes to Smurfette and to every other Smurf involved in his sickness induced outburst.

"Hmp!.. S'wat I Smurfed…" Grouchy said under his breath, as he left the door and went out onto the deck.

Grouchy reported what had just happened to Captain Dreamy who was also shocked by Fisher's unusual behavior, He just shook it off and decided not to mention anything. However, he allowed Fisher the rest of the day off. Grouchy returns to the quarters and sits down next to Smurfette who had a very slight frown on her face and was just looking down at Baby who was laying in her lap looking up at her with a look of concern. Grouchy puts his arm around her and pulls her chair closer to him, she looks up at him and smiles and lays her head on his shoulder.

"Must have just been motion sickness Fisher. Maybe you should try again next time we Smurf anchor.. I am certain you will Smurf us a big one next time! You were very close!" Mariner says.

"I have never felt so sick in my whole Smurf! My head! You must be right Mariner." Fisher says, holding an ice pack to his jaw.

"If the current Smurfs like this the whole time we will be at Smurfberry island in maybe a couple more days." Mariner says.

"That's a relief.. Baby is almost completely out of food." Smurfette says.

Architect comes out from his cabin after studying the ships records and blueprints once more and verifies that Dreamy was correct to have Grouchy do the work over as a second look never hurt anything, it was merely a safety issue which Dreamy was smart to consider. This realization only strengthened Architect's newfound respect and belief in Dreamy and his leadership skills. Fisher retires to his cabin for the night as he was to sick to even enjoy life (those of you who experience motion sickness like myself should understand how that feels). After an afternoon of recuperation and idle chatter, the smell of a delicious home cooked meal filled the ship's atmosphere as Greedy prepared and served dinner. Captain Dreamy actually joined the others at the dinner table and did not expect or insist on receiving any special treatment for being the Captain, he stated that no matter his title or position in rank in the end they were all Smurfs and therefore equal. A truly honorable trait and one that most likely never surfaced among human Ship mates.

"Greedy this is Smurfy! It's just like as if we were home!" Alchemist says between bites.

The other Smurfs nodded their heads in agreement.

"It's the sea salt.. It adds a most Smurftastic flavor.. Especially since we couldn't get salt after the village fell and I Smurfed the last of it on that soup the night Timber killed that demon" Greedy says.

"I can't say I hate it which is disappointing because I feel like I just broke character." Grouchy says before adding: "I hate breaking character!"

Greedy actually was able to acquire the ingredients necessary to make a pasta we today know as spaghetti. The rare and exceptionally difficult materials needed to make this dish were even harder to acquire after the village fell. The goods provided by King Gerard were to thank for this luxurious meal. And the Smurfs enjoyed every single bite.

Baby was curiously eyeing the food from quite a fair distance for a young lad as Smurfette held him in her lap, however, he only did just that and did not show further interest to try it. Especially when Grouchy finished his dinner and offered Baby Smurfberries. Greedy distracted himself from temptation by returning to the kitchen to fetch desert which was a strawberry pie. It was no Smurfberry pie, but the Smurfs appreciated it just the same.

"Your loosing a lot of weight Greedy!" Dreamy pointed out as he finished his pie.

"Yeah don't remind me.. I am still so hungry!" Greedy shouts. Which aroused the laughter of every Smurf there (except Fisher and Grouchy).

"I think you look just Smurfy Greedy! I bet you feel much better about yourself now!" Smurfette says.

"Well I have to admit.. I was truly hurt when you all called me a heavy Smurf.. But with all that food I was making in the village I just couldn't help myself. Despite their best efforts Tracker and Hefty just couldn't seem to Smurf me on track with my diet. I think this new lifestyle is changing me." Greedy says.

"Well we are all proud of you Greedy!" Alchemist says.

"Thanks Smurfs." Greedy replies and takes the dishes back to the kitchen with Smurfette and Grouchy.

"Ah I hate washing dishes!" Grouchy shouts as the door shuts.
