Oh right, I didn't get around to drawing Drozette yet, but I don't remember ever discussing a Wilderette?
Vanity and Valvette are a special couple they talk more about themselves then they do about each other, lol.

Author's Note: Hi everyone! Yeah, I know...long time, no see - LOL. What can I say, I've been REALLY busy the past year and a half since I updated this story last. Please check out my profile page for links that show the artwork I've been working on. I will be attempting to update a little more now that most of my work (as well as my life) is somewhat organized.

Chapter 8 - Supervised Playtime
Sorcerette and Sorcerer Smurf lead the Time Traveling smurfs outside of community. The sound of children playing outside echoes throughout the field.
"Ok, smurfs here is our back yard where the smurflings play pretty much most of the days," Sorcerer Smurf explains. He pauses for a bit and adds, "well, except when it rains." The magical smurf chuckled.
"Man that nooseslide was smooth." A little voice called out.
"Leaping leopards, what is that?" Little Sassette cried as she pointed to an area covered with concert. It has many dips and curves surrounded with ramps and small rolling hills.
"This is are little skate park for Skater Smurfling and the other smurflings." Sorcerette explained.
Wild Smurf stepped forward with a curious expression on one of the boards with four little wheels on the bottom of it. He looked up and saw a smurfling moving along on the skateboard from the edge of one of the ramps, executed a stunt and rode up the other side. The little smurfling nearly fell over as he finished by stopping by Skater Smurfling.
"That boardslide was sketchy, dude." Skater sighed.
With extreme enthusiasm, Wild Smurf took the board on wheels and began to mimic some of the moves he watched. He even added a few moves of his own as the gravity propelled him to roll up along the other side of the ramp. Wild finishes with a flip and lands beside Skater Smurfling.
"Man that kickflip was Diamondz!" Skater Smurfling cheered.
Wild Smurf chirped happily at the young smurfling as he patted him on his little head. He hands him the borrowed skateboard and walks back to the other smurfs.
"Show off," young Hefty grumbled.
"Wow, Wild, you sure impressed that smurfling." Smurfette smiled.
"Yes, considering that Skater Smurfling pretty much 'owns' this skate park." Sorcerette adds with quotation expressions with her fingers.
"Huh?" Greedy, Painter, and Handy questionably glanced with how Socerette said the word 'owns'.
"Um, never mind." The magical smurfette coughed uncomfortably. "Let's move on, shall we?"
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"I'm really impressed with your smurfy community." Papa Smurf nodded as he watched some of the smurflings playing a classic game of smurfball.
"Thank you Papa Smurf," Sorcerer chimed proudly. "Coming from you really means so much."
"How so, my little smurf?" Papa asked.
"Well, the Elders always talked so much about you I just felt like I have always known you," Sorcerer paused for a bit as he wanted to choose his words wisely. "Well, obviously I've known you when I was a baby, but...well, since it was only when I was a baby I don't really remember actually knowing you... Guess what I am trying to say is that I am glad I am getting a chance to know you now." He finishes sheepishly while digging his toe into the dirt below his feet.
"I'm glad I have this chance too." The elder from the past nodded as he placed a respective hand on the young smurf's shoulder.
Sorcerette leans down to the time-traveling smurflings. "Sassette? Snappy? Would you two like to play smurfball with them?" She asked, addressing the other smurflings playing in the field in front of them.
"Sure, thanks." Snappy cheered. Both he and Sassette head to the field and was automatically accepted to play smurfball with the other smurflings.
Lazy notices a soft mossy spot at the edge of the field. He saw two young smurflings snuggled together as they lazily slept in the shade. "Now those two have the right idea," the sleepy smurf yawned.
"Wha...?" Sorcerette looked up to see whom Lazy Smurf was addressing. She cocked a grin and said, "Ha, you can join them if you like. They are Dozy Smurfling and Dozette... I'm sure you will feel right at home with them." She ended with a snicker.
"What a good idea," Lazy yawned again then began to make his way to the sleepy smurflings.
Young Brainy watches his somniculous brother walking up to the two young smurflings laying on the soft mossy patch. He shakes his head in disbelieve on how easily the three of them quickly snuggle close to each other for a mid-morning nap.
Just then an almond hair colored female smurfling runs right into the smart smurf's hip along with a male smurfling. "Ow!" Brainy hollered. Turning and shaking his lecture figure, he yelled. "Watch it! Are you blind?"
"Um, yes..." the little smurfette shrugged.
"Oh, my apologies," Brainy blushed. "I did not realized."
"Guys, meet Surdomute Smurfling and Opticette." Sorcerette announced the special smurflings. "These two were smurfed with their disabilities. Opticette, was smurfed blind, but she is able to hone her other skills such as an incredible sense of hearing. Surdomute was smurfed as a deaf-mute, but he is able to read lips and sensitive to the vibrations of loud noises."
Surdomute picks up Opticette's hand and started to tap symbols with his hand onto her palm.
"Oh, what is he doing?" Smurfette asked curiously.
"This is Surdomute's way of communicating with her since she is unable to see him sign language."
"I know Surdomute," Opticette replied to her friend, "These visitors do seem unfamiliar to our ways."
"Amazing..." Papa Smurf gasped to himself.
"Resourceful little wipper-smurfers." Grandpa Smurf comments.
"Gosh," Clumsy scratched his head with a slight confusion written on his face.
The grumbling of Greedy's tummy interrupts the conversation. "Um," Greedy sheepishly looked up, "You don't suppose we can head in to get a bite to eat? I didn't get to finish breakfast..."
Sorcerette turns back to Sorcerer talking to Papa Smurf, Brainy, and Grandpa Smurf. She then faces Greedy and the other smurfs. "I'm sure some of us can go to the kitchen to help Hefty and Toughette with some of the prep work." The magical smurfette turns again to face Sorcerer and the others and called out to them, "Hey guys I'm going to take Greedy, Jokey, Painter, and Clumsy to the kitchen now."
"Ok babe," Sorcerer waved. He turns to the rest of the smurfs and said, "Guys, let me show you another part of the playground." The young adult smurf bends down to the special smurflings and asked, "Do you guys want to come with us?"
"Ok," Opticette chimed while Surdomute nodded eagerly.
Sorcerer turns his backside to Opticette and guides her to hop on his back. As soon as she is secured comfortably and hanging on tightly, Sorcerer stands up and leads everyone else down a nearby path.

Ah, the reason that link may not work is because I didn't post anything for that section yet.
I will eventually update my site and fix the links with the help of one of my friends that happens to be a website programer.
And no, I didn't draw the new smurflings yet. If you feel inspired to draw them you have my permission

Author's Note: I first want to thank all of you that posted positive reviews for my last chapter. I appreciate them all. In this chapter I have included a character named Loner Smurfling, based on the character created by Novanto (Novanplz on DA).
Without further ado here is the next chapter.
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4461844/9/
Chapter 9 - Kitchen Cleanup to Playtime
"So, how do you smurfs like our little home so far?" Sorcerette asked four time-travelers. "I am certain it isn't what any of you might except, huh?"
"Well, that is an understatement..." Jokey chuckled.
"Zis place does have an uniqueness to it." Painter admitted. He eyed some of the artwork hanging on the wall. The artist smurf scratched his chin - inspired somewhat by what he seen.
"Yup, a smurf can sure get lost easily here." Clumsy nodded as he noticed the labyrinth-like hallways.
Greedy's tummy grumbled again. The sound echoed up and down the hall. "The only thing I'm thinking is seeing the kitchen again and all the food there." He groaned.
Sorcerette giggled, "I see." She opened the cafeteria door and heard music playing and faint yelling from the back of the kitchen. In an instant Sorcerette shuts the door and gives an uncomfortable grin to her guests.
"Ah, will you all excuse me for just a moment. Please, wait right here." The punk smurfette asked. Before the others could give her an answer she opens the big door just a crack then squeezes herself through, and slams the door shut leaving four baffled smurfs in the hallway.
The magical smurfette walked through the eating area of the cafeteria and heads towards the kitchen. To her left is a storage room and the source of the yelling coming from within. She couldn't help but to smile at what the two strong smurfs are arguing about.
"I told you I don't want the can of tomatoes over with the canned food. I want them over with the pasta!" Toughette yelled.
"And I say canned things need to go here!" Hefty retorted, slamming the can of tomatoes beside some canned beans.
"No," Toughette argued, "the canned tomatoes need to be by the pasta so when we make spaghetti or lasagna we can grab the canned tomatoes too...see easy access!" She screamed - taking the can from Hefty's spot and slamming the can to a new location by some small boxes filled with pasta.
"That makes no sense!" The strong smurf groaned. "All canned things should stay on the same shelf!"
"Are you two quiet finished?" Sorcerette asked.
"No, why?" Toughette wondered, turning her head to face her younger sister.
"Well, I have a few of our 'guests' outside in the hallway waiting to come on the kitchen to help clean, but from what I can see you guys have the cleaning pretty much done, so I guess they can help prep for lunch." Sorcerette explained as she pans the kitchen with her eyes.
Toughette and Hefty face each other before looking back at the magical smurfette. With a heavy sigh Hefty said, "Fine. Guess we can finish our debate another time."
"What do you mean 'another time'?" Toughette snorted. "I'd say we are finished now!"
"So what's on the menu for lunch?" Sorcerette asked.
"Not sure, I didn't check Brainette's chart yet." Toughette shrugged.
Hefty watched the two blond smurfettes leave the storage room. He starts to raise a mischievous eyebrow as he reached for the can of tomatoes, but before his figures barely touched it Toughette screeched, "Leave it!"
With a curse under his breath, Hefty leaves the can along. He walked out of the storage room and closed the door behind him.
Sorcerette sprints back to the cafeteria's entrance. She opens the door and is pleased to see the other smurfs still waiting to be let in. "Ok, smurfs. This way." She grinned.
"Gosh, what happened?" Clumsy asked.
"Oh," Sorcerette struggled to think of an excuse. "Um, just needed to help arrange something in the storage room." She said.
"Zo, what iz it that we should help with first?" Painter Smurf asked.
"Well, let me think." Sorcerette paused as she looked around. "The kitchen pretty much is already cleaned..." She leads the time-travelers up to a counter as the enter the kitchen her and the other smurfs spot Toughette reading a chart posted on a clipboard. "Toughette, what do you suggest our guests help with?"
The tough smurfette let out a soft 'hmm' as she carefully thought up something for their visitors from the old Smurf Village could do. With a slight glance over her shoulder she noticed Hefty near the dishwasher. She clears her throat before speaking, "Well, Painter and Jokey can go over to help Hefty empty the dishwasher."
"Za dishwasher?" Painter questioned.
Jokey chuckled over the sound of a machine that can washes dishes. "That is the funniest thing I ever had heard."
Toughette couldn't help but to smile at the smurf that used to drive her nuts all the time with his wild pranks. "Just go over to Hefty. He'll show you what to do."
"What about us?" Clumsy asked, addressing Greedy and himself.
"Clumsy," Toughette began, "You will go with Sorcerette to grab these veggies on this list." She said, handing the young smurf a piece of paper. Turning to the chef smurf she adds, "Greedy, you will help me set up to clean and cut the veggies."
Greedy nodded and followed the tough smurfette to gather a few cutting boards and knives. "So what are we going to make?"
"We are making a cabbage casserole, which reminds me - I need to start cooking the rice." Toughette rolled her eyes as she realized she nearly forgot an important ingredient.
"Can I help?" Greedy asked. His tummy let out another growl.
Toughette stopped in her tracks, turned to face Greedy and asked, "What was that?"
"My stomach," the Smurf chef replied with a slight blush. "I'm also a little hungry.
With an exasperated sigh, Toughette reached over to a bowl of fruit on the counter. "Here," she said. "Have a banana."
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Sorcerer led the remainder time-travelers down a path to another open field. Opticette still hanging from the magical smurf's back gave out explanations of where they are to the visitors. They stopped as a young smurfling wearing a tiny red feather stuck in hat walked by, sniffing the air. This action caused Papa Smurf to feel a form of familiarity. It is like one of his little smurfs had been transported to this time and transformed into a smurfling. In fact, Papa couldn't help to feel most of the smurflings he met in this new world reminded him of smurfs back home.
"Hey Tracker Smurfling." Sorcerer asked. "Whatcha doing?"
"I'm playing hid 'n' go smurf with some of the smurflings." The little smurfling explained. An odor caught by his tiny nose created such a thrill for him. "Oh, I know where Sloppy Smurfling is hiding. I'm going to go get him."
"Little dude, with or without a sensitive nose like yours I seriously doubt any smurf would have a problem finding that little smurfling." Sorcerer chuckled.
"No kidding." Opticette snorted.
Surdomute Smurfling waved his hand back and forth in front of his face as he made a sneering expression.
"Ta, for now." Tracker Smurfling sang before heading off to the wooded area.
Wild Smurf leaned over to Young Hefty and Handy Smurf and chirped as he pointed to the little familiar smurfling.
"Your right Wild," Handy nodded. "That smurfling does remind me of the Tracker we know from the Village too."
"Yeah," Hefty agreed.
Brainy didn't say anything, for a change, but simply scratched his head in thought. Something about this made him determined to find out more about this 'possible future' that he may be a part of.
"I hate how that smurfling reminds me of the Smurf Village." Grouchy grumbled, crossing his arms in frustration.
Sorcerer Smurf over heard the smurfs talking about little Tracker. He knew how these visitors felt. The magical smurf turned to see his younger-self being held by Vanity Smurf. Little Baby Smurf squirmed and let out a little giggle while shaking his ringed-shaped rattle. Sorcerer thought for a moment if things had changed and if most of the smurfs of the Old Village didn't die. Without realizing it, he let out a deep sigh.
"Is something bothering you, my little smurf?" Papa Smurf whispered. He placed a reassuring hand on the young magical smurf's shoulder.
"Huh," Sorcerer turned to face the elder of the Old Village. "Oh, nothing. I-it's nothing." He managed a grin before continuing. "Shall we continue?"
Papa Smurf paused as he eyed the young adult smurf. "Sure, what else can you show us."
OoOoOoOoOoOo
A couple of minutes later Sorcerer leads the time-travelers back to where Sassette and Snappy were playing smurfball with a group of smurflings on the grassy field.
"And here we are - right where we started." Sorcerer announced. He leaned over slightly to let Opticette slide off his back and join Surdomute Smurfling on the ground.
"Well, that was most impressive, Young Sorcerer." Grandpa Smurf announced proudly.
"Hey, we helped." Opticette whined. Surdomute nodded in agreement.
"Of course you whipper-smurfer's did." Grandpa chimed, giving the little smurflings a friendly pat on their heads. "You two are very intelligent smurflings."
Brainy eyed the field to watch all the smurflings play. A group were playing on a swing set off at one end past the clearing. Another group was building sand castles in a box. Over by the concrete area a group of smurflings rolled around on boards with wheels as well as wheels on their shoes. Groups of young smurfettes played with dolls. Some smurflings even sat together on a corner of the opposite field and tapped their fingers on strange looking boxes in their hands. It seemed all was perfect with each groups playing amongst themselves, until one salutary smurfling caught his attention. He watched the young smurfling sitting on a benches beside the path to the concrete park. He held his skateboard on his lap and twirled one of the wheels. Some of the smurfling groups walked by him and never bothered to say hi, or asked him to play with them. To Brainy this didn't make sense. Even in the old village every smurf got to play in at least one of the smurf's games, including Clumsy.
"Hey what is going on with that smurfling?" Brainy asked.
Sorcerer and the other time-traveling smurfs turned to see who Brainy was talking about.
"His name is Loner Smurfling." Sorcerer explained. "I wouldn't worry about him, smurfs. He seems to thrive on being alone. For some reason he doesn't like to hanging around the other smurflings, or play any games. It isn't like any of us haven't tried to get him involved. Guess, when he is ready, he will participate more."
The sound of someone clearing his throat causes everyone to turn to face Elder Slouchy Smurf.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your tour, but Elder Brainy and Elder Brainette are ready to talk to you Papa, and Grandpa about the time crystals now." Slouchy announced.
"Sure," Papa Smurf nodded. "Lead the way."
"Um, I guess we will see you smurfs for lunch then." Sorcerer said as matter of fact.
"Maybe this time we can get some positive answers on how to finally get home." Grandpa commented to Papa as Elder Slouchy lead them back inside.

Very interesting. I've only read the last two chapters and look forward to seeing what comes next. Will the Smurfs get back to their old village? I wasn't too bad in English class in High School so I noticed a few spelling errors, but other than that I'm impressed with your story. I don't mean to be critical, but I know I like to improve anything I do. Good work!

Have a smurfy day!

Chapter 10 - Crystal Clear
Elder Slouchy Smurf lead Papa Smurf and Grandpa Smurf through a corridor in the Smurf Community - towards the science libratory. Slouchy struggled to find a way to start a conversation, but found himself in an awkward silence with his former Elders. Papa smurf could sense the awkwardness of the situation. He too wondered how to begin a conversation with his former smurfling. Grandpa Smurf decides to be the one to break the silence.
"So, how is the raccoon feeling?" The long bearded smurf asked.
"Oh, she is doing much better now." Slouchy replied. "She is resting comfortably. Soon she will be about to reunite with her young."
"That is a relief." Papa added.
"Yes, we do what we can to care for the animals of the forest." The slouched smurf nodded.
"I'm glad the code of the smurf still remains strong in this timeline." Papa smiled proudly.
"Indeed," Slouchy smurf smiled back. He then frowned slightly before turning away. The memories of when he was a smurfling and being a witnessed to the destruction of the old village made his heart sink. "At one point in our journeys it was all we had left."
Papa and Grandpa Smurf stopped to look at each other suspiciously as Slouchy continued to walk ahead. Expressions on their faces showed a wonder on what Slouchy meant by that last comment.
"Ah, we are here now." Slouchy paused at the end of the corridor, by a door with a see through window built in on the upper half. He opened the door and led the ancient elders inside. "Hey smurfs, we're here."
"Smurfy," Brainette said softly. "Let's start by bringing out those crystals again. I would like a closer look at them through my microscope."
"Oh of course." Grandpa Smurf nodded. He reached behind his long thick white beard and pulled out a brown sack that held the rainbow crystals. Carefully he handed the sack over to Brainette.
The smurfette elder gingerly took the sack and placed it on her desk. She reached in and pulled out one of the crystals. Elder Brainy hobbled up beside her as she slid the crystal underneath the objective lens of the microscope. He watched intensely as his beloved mate lifted her glasses from her face and peered through the eyepiece above the observation tube. Gracefully, Brainette turned the fine focus knob until the picture of the crystal became so clear she could see every detail.
"Incredible," She gasped.
"What do you see?" Elder Brainy asked, leaning in more closely.
"The patterns are so aligned. The angles, perfect." Brainette said in an almost giddy tone. She reached over to the sack and pulled another crystal. She replaced the crystal on the microscope stage. Again, The smurfette elder peered through the eyepiece. "As the smurflings would say, awesome."
"Awesome?" Both Grandpa and Papa Smurf looked puzzled.
Slouchy stepped up to explain. "This is a term the smurflings use to express something that is 'smurfy'."
The two ancient elders turned at each other. They shrugged.
"You know," Brainette continued as she studied another crystal. "All these patterns put into place and the way the edges had been carved has me to believe that these crystals could be a complex math puzzle."
"I don't see how they could be a math puzzle," Grandpa scratched his head. "They would be more of a magical puzzle, wouldn't they?"
Brainette lifted her head - putting her glasses back on, she looked straight at Grandpa Smurf. "Actually, math is an universal language even in magic. With measuring of one potion ingredient with the next - not to mention calculating the right spell for the right situation, and all that." She pointed out.
"Hm, good point." Papa Smurf tugged at his beard in thought.
"You know, I could scan these crystals into my computer and use the puzzle program I have to help figure out the right combination that could lead you back home." The bespectacled smurfette suggested.
"Forgive me, but what is a computer?" The former red-capped elder asked. He looked at the female elder with great confusion.
Brainette paused for a moment to look back at Papa Smurf. She temporarily forgot that the time-travelers wouldn't know of modern technology. Before she could respond to Papa's question, Brainy stepped in.
"Allow me to explain." Elder Brainy ushered Papa to a desk with papers and a monitor. "Over here we have our lab computer. This elongated boxy thing is called the tower and inside is a wonderment display of technology." He sat down at the chair - reached at the tower and pushed the 'power' button. "It will take a few minutes for it to load up though. But basically this machine is a library source of information."
"Really?" Papa Smurf appeared intrigued.
Grandpa Smurf walked up towards Brainette and leaned at her microscope. "Is it possible that I could have a look?" He asked.
"Of course," Brainette nodded. She stepped aside so the long-bearded elder could peer through the eyepiece.
"Smurf-a-roo," he gasped. "I never could imagine how much more details these crystals have. I can see how they get that rainbow reflection." Grandpa lifted his head up from the eyepiece and addressed the entire microscope. "This contraption is amazing."
"Indeed." Brainette agreed with pride. She reached over the table and grabbed the sack with the rest of the crystals. She looked inside with a perplexed expression. "I have looked through almost all the crystals already, and it is so strange - I can't quite put my finger on it...it's like there is a piece missing from this puzzle."
Grandpa Smurf grimaced knowing what the smurfette elder is talking about. "Actually there is a piece missing. The Ruby Key that unlocks the Time Crystals to each different time zone - including the time in which we came from."
"Where is the key now, if you don't mind me asking?" Brainette ask with a tone of interest.
With a guilty glance down at the floor, Grandpa took a deep breath before looking back up. "We, um, lost it back near the dawn of time...in a pool of lava."
Elder Brainy couldn't help to over heard the conversation between his mate and Grandpa Smurf. "A pool of lava you say? How interesting?" He scratched his bearded chin in thought.
Papa Smurf sensed that Brainy might know something about the lost key. "Brainy?" He leaned in closer to his former pupil.
"Huh?" Brainy snapped out of this thought to look up.
"Do you know something about the missing key?" Papa asked.
The leader of the Smurf Community paused as he thought about the question. He raised his eyebrow and turned to Papa Smurf. With a shrug he replied. "I don't know. For a moment it sounded familiar though."
Brainy turned to his computer monitor to realize that the computer system is fully loaded. With a smile he pointed to the monitor. "Ok, look here Papa Smurf. I can give you a brief rundown of what a computer can do." He used the mouse to double click an icon that pulled up a window with a title on the upper part of the page saying 'Sprite Google'. "The human also have systems like this, but their program is just Google. Sprite Google is for us magical creatures so it will protect us from being accidently discovered."
"Amazing..." Papa Smurf watched in awe as Brainy typed on a keyboard and suddenly a new image came up on the monitor screen.
Slouchy watched over the two red-capped elders. Somehow he found it ironic that Brainy is now teaching Papa Smurf something new.
Brainette reached at a blackboard behind her and picked up the chalk eraser. She cleared a blank space on the board and turned to Grandpa Smurf. "Do you suppose you could draw the key for me on this chalkboard?" She asked. The smurfette elder picked up a piece of chalk and handed it to him.
"Sure," Grandpa took the piece of chalk and drew the key in as much detail as he could remember. "Now if I remember correctly there were bumps here, here, and here..."
Brainy became distracted from the computer to the image on the chalkboard. His eyes began to widen. "That looks very familiar."
"Really?" Papa smiled, but still surprised. "Do you remember the time-travels?"
Elder Brainy frowned at his mentor. "No," he replied. "But I know I have seen that image before."
"Brainy, you think you have seen everything before." Slouchy snorted.
"Look, I am not senile!" Brainy defended himself. "I just know I have seen that key somewhere."
"Yeah, where?" Slouchy challenged his older brother.
The bespectacled elder smurf opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly realized he didn't have the words to explain how he knew. He let out a defeated sigh, "I don't remember..."
Brainette let out an exasperating sigh. "Slouchy," she turned to face the youngest in the room and continued. "Would you be a dear and go brew us some tea. This will take longer than anticipated."
"Will you two stop that!" Said a flustered Brainy. "It was probably something I read... Oh, wait...yes, it was an article..." Brainy beamed from ear to ear. He turned to the computer screen and started to type frantically on his keyboard. "I read in a recent article on the website called, 'FairyNews.com' that a professor of Gnome Archeology dug up a ruby crystal key in an ancient lava rock bed just east of here."
"Impossible," Grandpa shook his head. "We saw the key fall into molten lava. It was destroyed."
"Maybe not," Brainette argued. "Rubies, next to diamonds, are very a strong and powerful gemstones. They could, most likely, survive in elements with a great deal of heat. In fact most gemstones were formed in volcanic atmosphere. That and the fact your Ruby Key is related to these Time Crystals, so I am assuming that the key is designed with a source of magic that could shield it from any harm - including molten lava."
"Ah-ha!" Brainy cheered. "Here it is! I told you I wasn't senile."
"Ok, you proved is wrong," Slouchy grumbled. He leaned in to get a closer look at the article in question. With a smirk on his face he said under his breath, "for a change..."
"I heard that," snapped Brainy.
"Hmm, according to this article the professor is in a research lab in the city to study some of his great findings then will be hosting a lecture on archeology in a couple of months." Slouchy noted as he skimmed through the article.
"You know, I should try to find out when that lecture is being held. I might like to attend that." Elder Brainy pondered out loud.
"If it is possible, I would like to have a look at this key. To see if it is the exact one we lost." Papa Smurf wondered.
"It might not be that easy, Papa Smurf." Elder Brainy said with a straight face. "I may need to pull a few strings, make a few calls just to arrange an audience with the professor. There might be a chance he wouldn't want visitors to look at his findings." Brainy grabs his cane and uses it as leverage to help lift himself up from the chair. "I will go to the next room and start making some calls. With luck I can speak to him, or at least one of his assistance and convince them to let us look at the key at least."
"If you can do that we would be so grateful. Thank you, Brainy." Papa Smurf beamed with pride of his now grown pupil.
Brainy barely contained his joy. It really is Papa Smurf before him, and yes, he really did say those words. With a big smile, Brainy nodded and said, "I will do my best."
As Brainy headed to the back room, Brainette picks up one of the crystals. " I still would like to scan these crystals into my computer and come up with the backup plan of figuring out the puzzle just in case this key the professor found is not the right one for these crystals."
"Right of course," Grandpa nodded.
"Thank you," Papa Smurf said gratefully.
The smurfette elder turned to face Slouchy and said, "We are still waiting on that tea I requested earlier..." Brainette hinted.
"Oh," Slouchy stood stunned for a moment. "Of course, I will be right back." He left the laboratory as Brainette carefully gathered the crystals and led the ancient elders to the other end of the room where she has her special 3D scanning equipment stored.

Chapter 11 – Interesting News
Greedy Smurf watched Toughette suspiciously as she sat at one of the tables in the cafeteria - reading some kind of thin glossy-like paper booklet. Finally he walked up to her.
"Why are you just sitting there? Isn't there anything else we need to do before feeding everyone?" He asked her.
Toughette opened her mouth to let out a big yawn. "Everything is pretty much ready." She replied with a sleepy stretch of her arms. "We laid the cutlery and plates on the tables. Hefty, Jokey, and Painter are cleaning up the dishes that we used to make lunch with. And now we are just waiting for the timer to go off that will let us know that lunch will be done baking."
Greedy turned to the peer in the kitchen. He saw that indeed Hefty was directing Painter and Jokey where to put the clean dishes after they came out of the dish washer. At the end counter Clumsy was washing and peeling some carrots while Sorcerette cut them up in small pieces to go on the plates with the casserole.
"Hey, take a load off, Greedy...we have a few minutes left." Toughette suggested addressing the seat beside her.
Reluctantly, Greedy sits down beside the golden-blond ponytailed smurfette. He looks down on the table to see the thin paper booklet. Never had he seen a book like it. So many pictures with small printed words on it.
With a puzzled expression, Greedy gazes up at Toughette, "What is that?" He asked pointing at the strange paper.
"This is called a magazine." She answered, holding up a page with a picture of a few elves playing soccer. Pointing at the picture she continued, "A sports magazine."
Greedy knitted his brow in confusion. He opened his mouth to say something when a buzzing sound came from the kitchen, near the oven.
"Ah, hear that?" Toughette cheered. "Lunch is now done." She closes up the magazine and walked it up to a basket by the kitchen entrance. Inside the basket had other types of magazines and newspapers. Absently, Toughette tossed the magazine in the basket before she entered the kitchen. With a raised eyebrow, she caught the reactions of Painter, Jokey, and Clumsy as they seem to panic over the sudden buzzing noise. Hefty reached over and grabbed the timer to shut it off.
"It's alright smurfs." The strong smurf announced. "It's just the timer."
"Sacrebleu, zare are more noises in here then zare are in za entire Enchanted Forest!" Painter Smurf cried, holding his hands up to his hears.
"Yeah, these noises are not funny. " Jokey added.
"How are you able to live in a place like this, Hefty?" Clumsy asked. His big innocent eyes showed both fear and concerned of his older, and now futuristic brother.
Hefty paused for a moment. He struggled for a moment on how he could answer his young time-traveling brother. "Well, so far in the past three years since waking up in this time I have seen so many things that I would never have imagined ever existing. Still I am getting used to the indoor and outside night the lights. Also, most of the music I still can't seem to relate too, and other noises as well - not only with in this community, but in the human city as well. Plus, I am still slow when it comes to emails and text messaging." He honestly replies.
Painter, Jokey, Clumsy, and Greedy all look at each other then back at Hefty.
"Emails...?" Clumsy scratched his head.
"Text mess-age-ing...?" Painter pronounced carefully with a confused expression.
"Hefty is that supposed to be a joke?" Jokey asked, looking very unsure at his older and stronger brother.
"Yeah, seriously. What are you talking about?" Greedy said as he shook his head.
With a heavy sigh, Hefty rolled his eyes skyward. "Never mind." He grumbled.
Toughette smirked, and Sorcerette snickered. Realizing the reason why she came into the kitchen, Toughette walked over to the oven. She opened the door, and grabbing the oven mitts that laid on the counter beside her, she used them to pull out the hot casserole dish.
"Well, not bad, I guess." She mutters to herself.
Greedy leans over her shoulder and eyes the casserole carefully. "I don't believe it's fully cooked yet." He said.
"Are you sure it's not cooked, Greedy?" Toughette sighed. "I followed the instructions. The timer said it was done!"
"Oh yes," Greedy nodded. "I can tell. Give it another ten minutes at least."
Toughette was unsure if she should take the advice of a smurf that is unfamiliar to the Smurf Community's schedule. She turned to Hefty that stood beside her.
"What are you looking at me for? I tend to burn everything I cook." Hefty shrugged.
"Really? Is that why you were banned from ever using the oven?" Toughette snorted.
Every other smurf in the kitchen began laughing, Jokey Smurf and Greedy Smurf laughed harder knowing that it is most likely true, since Hefty couldn't really cook much of anything that was smurfy enough to be eatable.
Hefty rolled his eyes skyward. "Very funny," he once again, grumbled.
With a sigh, Toughette shoves the casserole back in the oven. "Ok Greedy, we will try it your way. But if it comes out wrong it will be your smurf - Got it!"
Greedy struggled with a nervous gulp down his throat. Something about this smurfette made him believe she was capable in making any smurf regret being wrong with the baking.
Hefty leaned over to his nervous brother's ear. "Don't worry," he assured him. "She is mostly all bark...mostly."
OoOoOoOoOo
Brainy sat in his chair and stared blankly at his computer screen. On it is a message he just finished typing. He pondered if he was about to do the right thing in sending this message. He read over his own typing just to be sure:
Dear Father Time,
Some time ago you told me to email you if any time-travelers came by. I admit, at the time you said that I was confused, but now I understand. Well, indeed this morning I was awoken to find that Papa Smurf, Grandpa Smurf, and fifteen of the other smurfs, including a younger version of myself and Hefty arrived within the community.
When we sat down with them they explained to have Time-Traveling crystals in their possession. Sadly they missed placed a ruby key that would have aided them in returning back to their own time. However, I suspect it may have been found recently by a Gnome Professor of Archeology located here in the city of Vancouver. I am about to contact him in order to see if this will be the same key Papa Smurf and the others lost.
If any of this sounds familiar to you, please forward me a message.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Brainy Smurf.
After the elder smurf finished reading his own email he pondered if he was about to do the right thing. What if by doing this he was going to betray the wisest smurf he had ever known. Brainy quickly shook that thought out of his mind. This was Father Time, a dear and trusted friend to the smurfs. There would be no way he would do anything to harm Papa and the other smurfs. With a tap on the mouse, Brainy clicked 'send'.
The bespectacled elder took a deep breath in and reached for his phone book. He turned a couple of the pages and laid it on the table. With his finger, Brainy scrolled down till the title: Gnome Archeologist was found.
He punched the number on the phone and placed it to his ear. Brainy could hear a ring tone sounding off three times before a male voice picked up on the other end.
"Professor Geork, speaking." A calm intelligent voice spoke.
"Hello Professor, allow me to introduce myself. I am Brainy Smurf."
"Brainy Smurf? Of the Smurf Community?" The professor asked.
"Yes, I am." Brainy raised his eye brow in suspicion. He knew he was well known among the fairies and trolls, but he did not realized how well he was with gnomes - especially a professor of Geork's league.
"You are not going to believe this, but I've been expecting your call. It is possible I may have something that you are looking for..." The Professor said.

Chapter 12 - Heading out on a Road Trip
Elder Brainy hung up the phone - still in awe of the conversation he just had with the Professor. A jingle noise from his computer caused him to bring his attention to the monitor. An email just arrived in his inbox. It was a reply to the email he just sent to Father Time. Puzzled, Brain reaches for his mouse and clicks on the replied message. His brow began to knit up into a knot as he read what Father Time wrote. 'Does Father Time really expect me to do this?' He thought to himself.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Papa Smurf watched carefully at the machine scanning another angle of the last time crystal. He took another sip of his warm tea that Slouchy made earlier. Grandpa Smurf leaned in a little closer with a great interest to Brainette's wondrous technology. Slouchy lightly tapped on Papa Smurf's shoulder. Papa turned to see his former smurfling holding up the tea pot.
"Would you like some more tea?" The slouched elder asked.
"Oh, no thank you. I still have half a cup left." Papa smurf.
Slouchy nodded, he then turned to Grandpa Smurf. "How about you, Grandpa Smurf?"
"No thank you, Slouchy. That is very thoughtful of you to ask though." Grandpa replied as he waved away the tea pot.
"You are our guest, Grandpa Smurf, it is only fair for me to ask." Slouchy gave a slight bow of his head before turning to Brainette. He lifted the pot so it meets he gaze. She simply nodded and handed him her cup.
The laser finished scanning the crystal and with a few taps on the keyboard, Brainette looked up with a broad smile. "That is it, we are finally done scanning the crystals." She chimed after receiving her now filled up cup. She sips and paused to enjoy the flavor of the warm liquid.
"Truly a smurf-tacular machine, Brainette dear." Grandpa smiled. "What happens next?"
"Next I transfer these scans to my program than I can see them as 3D images to help solve your puzzle problem." Brainette addressed her computer monitor as she explained her next step.
"Amazing," Papa Smurf said in awe.
Brainette raised her eyebrow at her elder visitors from another time period. The expression on their faces still appeared puzzled with her technology. "I can tell by the look on your faces all of this is still confusing for you."
"I admit all of this is a little over-whelming." Papa Smurf scratched his head as he blushed over his reply.
"I see," Brainette smirked. "Do not worry. This computer and the program I mentioned will allow us to test each different patterns that the Time-Crystals have for each time zone. It will take at least the rest of the afternoon to add these scans into the program, but by tomorrow we can run a few tests and see if we can find the right combination to send you home."
"That is excellent work, Brainette." A voice called out from the other end of the room.
Every one turned to see Elder Brainy hobbling over to the group. "I also have an alternative suggestion..." He grinned with a sense of pride. "I managed to get a hold of Professor Geork and to my surprise he is willing to let you Papa Smurf and Grandpa Smurf to see him in his laboratory to test the key he found with one of your crystals. His theory is if it is the actual key you've misplaced then there should be a magical reaction when key is met with a Time-Crystal. I will get Hefty," Brainy paused for a moment as he realized a potential confusion for his former elders. "Er, the future Hefty I mean, and Sorcerer Smurf to go with you two after lunch."
"Smurf-a-roo," Grandpa cheered. "That plan has hope!"
"It certainly does," Papa Smurf scratched his chin in thought. "How long of a trip is it to the Professor's laboratory?"
"The entire trip to there and back shouldn't take more than two hours, three tops depending on traffic." Brainy assured them.
"Intriguing." Papa Smurf stroked his chin with anticipation for the trip he will soon embark on.
A tone sounded through the speakers hanging in the top corner of the room. Slouchy patted his stomach as he turned to the elder smurfs. "Sounds like lunch is ready." He chimed.
"Excellent," Brainy said, almost with an excited tone in his voice. "Why don't you go ahead with Papa and Grandpa Smurf. Brainette and I will join you shortly."
Slouchy eyed his older brother suspiciously for a moment, but quickly assumed that it was something important. He nodded and replied, "alright." The slouched elder turned and placed his arms around Papa and Grandpa Smurf. "Come on, I hear we are having Cabbage Casserole today."
"That sounds rather interesting." Grandpa clasped his hands and rubbed them together as he eagerly wondered how the meal will taste.
As soon as Slouchy took the elder time-travelers out of the room and out of ear-shot, Brainette whipped her head around and frowned at her mate. "What is it?" She simply asked.
Brainy let out a small sigh. "I received an email with a request from Father Time."
"I have a feeling that I may not fully enjoy this 'request'." Brainette crossed her arms to prepare this message from the father of time and space.
"No," Brainy shook his head. "Not in the slightest."
OoOoOoOoOoOo
One Hour Later...
Over two hundred smurflings rush into a large room. At the end of the room a TV screen takes up most of one wall. As the smurflings find a spot on the floor in front of the TV Elder Snappy, Sassette, Slouchy, and Nat walk in and close the main door behind them.
"Did Brainy explain to any of you why we are playing a movie for the smurflings in the middle of the day?" Elder Sassette asked her brothers.
"Nothing to me," Elder Snappy said with an irritated tone. "Then again he did appear a little more stressed than usual."
"Something has be going on, and I don't think it's because of the fact we are being visited by Papa Smurf and the others thanks to time travel." Nat added. He turned to his slouched brother and asked, "Slouchy do you know why Brainy is acting the way he is?"
"All I know is that Brainy contacted a professor that may have found the missing component Papa Smurf and the others claimed that they had lost during their travels through time."
"I don't see how that would stress Brainy out though?" Sassette wondered.
"Who knows," Snappy grumbled. He turned to see the smurflings starting to chatter loudly amongst each other. Some are starting to stand up and walk around the room.
"I suppose we really should put in a movie right now before we have a small riot in our hands." The tempered elder added.
"Good idea," Sassette nodded. "I suggest putting on Shrek, or even better Shrek 2. The smurflings really get a kick out of the donkey and I personally love the Puss 'n' Boots character."
"I admit I do too," Nat snickered.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile...
The young time traveling smurfs watched with uncertainty as Papa Smurf and Grandpa Smurf are being prepared to go on this wondrous and possibly dangerous journey.
"Here Papa, put on this jacket it will protect you on your travel." Sorcerette cooed as she handed him an imitation red and black leather jacket.
"Grandpa, you can wear this one." Toughette said as she pulled out a yellow and black imitation leather jacket from the garage closet.
Both Papa Smurf and Grandpa Smurf turn to each other in confusion. Neither of them have seen jackets quite like these. Still unsure they faced the young smurfettes.
"Thank you," Papa nodded politely.
"I still don't know why we can't all come with you, Papa Smurf?" Young Brainy Smurf whined.
"Brainy, I want you and the others to stay here." Papa lectured. "Besides the traveling devices can only carry one passenger in each of them." He added pointing to the two motorcycles both with side cars attached.
Handy Smurf looked over to watch Sorcerer Smurf attaching a side car on the second of the two motorcycles. He couldn't help to marvel at the design of the machines. 'How do they run?' He pondered in thought.
"Are you sure they are safe?" Handy asked, still watching Sorcerer finishing screwing the last bolt together.
The magical smurf poked his head up at the former mechanical smurf of the old village. With a smile, Sorcerer stood up and walked over to the skeptical, but very intelligent smurf.
"I can understand your concerns, Handy, but don't worry we ride these motorcycles quite often and I assure you they are safe." Sorcerer explained. He turned to Papa and Grandpa Smurf and grinned from ear to ear. "You two are going to have so much fun!"
"I must say I am intrigued in going on this trip." Grandpa admitted.
Sorcerer noticed the jackets Grandpa and Papa Smurf were wearing. "Oh hey, that reminds me I need to get changed." He said before heading down the hall and disappearing around the corner.
"Now, Hefty you must give me a solid word you won't speed, or go beyond the limits into the human city streets!"
The time-traveling smurfs all turned to see the future Hefty, changed in a black and red imitation leather suite with matching boots, and Elder Brainy walking beside him. Hefty turned with a growl as he stared down his older brother.
"...Or I could just leave it in your safe and capable hands." Elder Brainy chuckled uneasily as he took a step back.
Hefty smiled with satisfactory as his older brother backed down. "Alright, you do that." He almost chuckled.
"While you smurfs get to go out and have all the fun what are Sorcerette and I supposed to do?" Toughette asked her strong mate.
"Why stay here and look after our guests of course." Hefty winked at her.
"Perfect, you know how much I just love to smurf-sit all night long." The tough smurfette grumbled.
"Awe, come on we are not going to be gone that long. And I'll bring you back some of your favorite chocolates on our way back." Hefty said.
"Chocolates? You think that will make everything alright?" Toughette huffed in a cranky tone.
The future Hefty simply smiled at his golden-blond mate. How cute she looks when she is cranky. He leaned up to her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Oh, you are sooo asking for it." She growled at him.
"Try and be nice while I'm gone." Hefty chuckled. He turned to Papa and Grandpa Smurf and asked, "are you two ready to go?"
"Yes we are, and I must say I am quite looking forward to this trip." Grandpa walked eagerly up to the motorbikes beside the future Hefty.
"Alright, let's get this show on the road!" Sorcerer cheered. He showed up wearing a black and purple imitation leather suit - almost matching the future Hefty's. Sorcerer couldn't help but to notice the strange looks the other time-traveling smurfs were giving him.
"I know what you all were thinking, and no this isn't real leather." Sorcerer said with a wink as he tugged at his jacket. He continued to walk towards his bike where Papa Smurf stood waiting. "Yo Papa, you and I are riding together! This is going to be so rad!"
"I hate 'going to be so rad,'" Grouchy huffed as he crossed his arms in frustration.
"Gosh, what does rad mean?" Clumsy asked.
"It means..." Sorcerette paused for a moment to find the right word to explain the meaning of 'rad'. "Smurfy." She said.
"Well, why doesn't he just say that?" Snappy Smurfling wondered.
"Because, he's trying to be 'cool', but he's not. Nobody says 'rad' anymore, sheesh." Sorcerette rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in discussed.
"Cool?" The time-traveling smurfs echoed . They look at each other in confusion. Toughette recognized their confused expressions.
"It is always best to just assume any strange words these young smurfs say mean 'smurfy'. It's just less confusing that way." The tough smurfette told them.
"I must say that all of these new phrases don't make any sense anyway." Vanity said as he held his hand mirror up to look at his reflection.
Hefty and Handy were focusing on Vanity as he spoke that they didn't notice a pair of hands grab their arms and pulling them back down the hall. Instantly the two young smurfs turned to see their smart young brother.
"Now's our chance," Brainy whispered to them. "While everyone is distracted here we can go explore this place and get some answers on why our future-selves are so secretive."
"Are you sure that is wise, Brainy? Papa Smurf did tell us to stay out of trouble while he goes on this trip." Handy said.
"Yeah," the young Hefty nodded.
"Aren't you smurfs slightly the bit curious on what is going on here?" Brainy pressured. "We can go now while everyone is distracted."
"Alright," Hefty said with a hit of uncertainty. "But let's be quick about it."
"Agreed," Handy nodded.
The three young smurfs ran down the hall as quietly as the possibly could. Brainette thought she had caught movement from the corner of her eye. She turned to look down the hall and noticed the door at the end of it closed slowly. With a raised eyebrow, Brainette wondered if she should investigate. She turned to see that Papa and Grandpa Smurf were being helped into the side car of the motorcycles, she then turned to the time-traveling guests along the wall behind her. After doing a head count Brainette realized three smurfs were missing from the group. Without saying a word she decided to go investigate who was just down the hall.
"Alright, we are all set, right Papa Smurf?" Sorcerer asked the ancient elder.
"I suppose so," Papa answered as he looked at his black biker helmet in bewilderment.
"Oh, let me help you with that." The magical smurf offered. He grabbed the special smurf hat helmet and gently placed it comfortably on Papa Smurf's head. "Excellent, now you are ready for the races," Sorcerer cheered.
Elder Brainy stepped forward immediately in front of the bikes and started to wave his cane in the air. "No! There will be no racing! You and Hefty drive these bikes responsibly and bring Papa and Grandpa Smurf back safely!" He shouted.
"Well duh, Elder. I was only joking." Sorcerer chuckled.
"Yo, Brainy! Outta the way, unless you want to turn into a speed bump?" Hefty hollered.
"Fine," the older brother grumbled. He began to hobble back to the crowd of on lookers.
Hefty turned towards to Grandpa Smurf and flipped his helmet visor over his face. "You better hang on, Grandpa. Things are going to get really noisy in here." He raised himself up from seat of the bike and placed his foot on the kick starter arm. With one good thrust down the bike started up with a loud rumble sound.
The young time-traveling smurfs stepped back with fear of the growling rumble noise echoing in the garage. They all couldn't help but to be startled again when Sorcerer started his bike too. Elder Brainy calmly turned his head slightly to see the time-travelers in the corner of his eye briefly. He turned back to watch his strong brother and young apprentice drove off with the two elders he remembered from the old village.
"Good luck," he whispered.
