Far, very far from here, deep in the forest, there was a hidden village full of mushroom-shaped houses where tiny creatures lived. They called themselves the Smurfs. They were only three apples high, had blue skin and dressed in white trousers and a cap. Yet they are a happy, easy-going bunch - give or take one or two. The Smurfs were good. Then there was Gargamel, the evil wizard. He was bad. Well, the forest is still there. And if you listen, you may hear Gargamel's rage. But if you were good, you may just catch a glimpse of the Smurfs.

Just how evil was Gargamel? So evil, he attempted to get those rotten little sickeningly sweet happy Smurfs through their big hearts. He created a Smurfette, using ingredients such as half a pack of lies and the hardest stone for her heart. Not a very original thing to do, but there were 98 Smurfs at the time, all of whom were male. The next morning, Hefty Smurf overheard someone crying, while picking smurfberries, and shortly thereafter, he met Smurfette. She was all alone in a hideous forest full of frightening noises, and also weak and helpless. Being the gentleman that he was, Hefty picked her up over his shoulder and took her into the village where she could stay for as long as she liked. But they were in for a surprise. She contacted Gargamel with some magic little mirror, and he commanded her to get out there and capture their little blue hearts. She gulped and got started. She tried hard, but failed. Smurfette was put on trial for flooding the village, in view of the evidence in what Greedy Smurf had told them. She broke out in tears and admitted she was working for Gargamel. Papa told her it wasn't her fault that Gargamel created her to smurf them. She decided she wanted to be a real Smurf. This had never been done before. But, Papa Smurf managed to undo Gargamel's spell, .. "And now with the power of all I command, Smurfette become Smurf, and before me stand!" And, boy, was it a smurfy spell! The others started bringing her gifts and offering to walk her home. Heck, I don't blame them one bit! She finally looked like a real Smurf, but feeling like one she had to manage on her own. And she did.

All was well for a few years. Gargamel didn't give up so easily, though. He at tempted to undo Papa's undoing spell on Smurfette. This time, Papa Smurf wasn't going to be able to give Smurfette another smurfy spell, because it could only be done once. Gargamel's new spell took a while to take effect. When it was done, she had to wear a blonde wig so the others wouldn't know. Then she looked around for that mirror and contacted Gargamel again. This time, Smurfette seemed a lot meaner and more evil than when she was originally created.. maybe even worse than Gargamel. She got them all captured this time. Unfortunately for Gargamel, her feelings towards the sweet and nice Smurfs were still inside her. She somehow freed herself from Gargamel's spell, along with the other Smurfs.
