Time passed very fast and it had been a month since the lecturing menace moved out of his hometown.
Oddly, everyone has taken this peace so well without the smartypants terrorizing the village on a daily basis that are unaware of his absence, this is in part due the silly smurf covering for him every rare time his presence was required. That is until one day the dear leader calls for the accident prone smurf.

– For what you need me Papa Smurf? –
– Clumsy, I need you and Brainy fetch me some herbs that are necessary for a new potion. –
– Uhh, Brainy? I think he's visiting King Gerald so I would go by myself, where do the plants grow Papa Smurf? –
– That's strange, why would Brainy would be visiting King Gerad. –
– Ahh... maybe he went to learn how things are going in the kingdom, we're in his forests after all. –
– Well, if you see him, tell him to come here, I haven't seen  him in a while. Come to think of it I haven't see him at all. –
– That's.... that's 'cause he's writing a new book, you know how Brainy is, it takes all his time. –
Clumsy hurried to answer, he had become very good at lying after all those chances, but Papa Smurf notices the nervousness in his voice.
– Clumsy, is there anything that you want to tell me? –
– No, nothing at all Papa. –
– Are you sure, you know that you can tell me anything. –
– Umm. Nop, I can't think of anything. –
– Clumsy I know that you're hiding something so what's going on? –
The softhearted creature could not sustain his charade in front of his father and immediately crumbles.
– Brainy went away. –
– What?! Why? –
–  He and Farmer fought, Farmer told him that we were better without him so Brainy left right away  to prove him wrong. –
–  I cant' belive this. Go and bring me Farmer in this smurf. –
– Yeah, yes Papa Smurf. –

Not quite long both smurfs are in the house of the elderly alchemist who doesn't have a pleased look on his wrinkled face.
– You wanted to see me Papa Smurf? –
– Yes Farmer, Clumsy told me that you and Brainy had a fight. –
– It was a small thing, nothing to smurf about. –
– It wasn't small for him, he abandoned the village that same day. –
– So? –
– So now you're going to bring him back. –
– Ah? If he wants to act like a smurfling then leave him. –
– Listen very careful my little smurf, we all are important, every smurf is necessary. –
– Sorry but I ain't gonna do it.. –
Farmer! We are a family so you are going to retrieve your brother in this instance!
Very rarely the caring leader furious however this isn't enough to scare the agriculturist.
If that's the case you should had realized sooner 'cause that fight was a month ago!
– A month?! I thought this was recent.  –
– Is true Papa Smurf, Brainy hasn't be here for a month. –
– If that's all, I have plenty things to do. –
– Wait! Smurfs have the responsibility to look out for each other. –
– Sorry Papa Smurf but we're not as close as you would like. –
– Farmer! –
– I live in the border, barely seeing him so is only normal that I don't notices his absence but you live in the same area and he is always smurfing you. –
The elderly smurf feels like his heart is being shattered at the realization of his own negligence and his legs go limp, he trembles looking for a chair to take the shock. His children are quick to go to his side.
– Papa Smurf are you okay? –
– No Clumsy, I am not, I... I raised you so all of you would get along, that no matter what happened you would always be together, but even myself didn't realize that one of my children went missing. I... I don't know how to feel. –

The three forest creatures maintained silence for some minutes until one of them broke the atmosphere.
– I'm taking my leave, the crops won't take care by themselves. –
– No. We are going in his lookout. –
– Papa you should... –
It's an order!

The trio is joined by other comrades in this “rescue” mission; Smurfette felt sadness and concern after hearing Brainy's reason for leaving; Hefty is with them due to pure solidarity, believing in the saying of his father that no smurf is an island; Jokey hooped in just for the fun that surly would present. The six walk in the forest leaded by the bad coordinated smurf.
– *Hyuek. Hyuke* How much further Clumsy? –
– Not much. –
– Smurf!, nobody likes Brainy but you over did it Farmer. –
– Ahhh, be quiet Hefty, you're the one who smurfed the tradition of beating the smurf out of Brainy. –
– That's a different thing. And you had smurf him too! –
– And you too were smurfy not having him nagging around! –
– That's not true, I was just... –
– Stop it you too, I don't want any fight. Understood?! –
– Yes Papa Smurf. –
Both grown up smurfs responded in unison as if were smurfling. No much longer the group arrived to their destination, the residence of his most stubborn enemy: Gargamel's hovel.

…...........................…...........................................
Brainy is calmly sit in front of the unused fireplace, is a good spot since there the wind currents don't blow to strong nor to weak therefore is magnificent for writing; he and Clumsy had transported all his belongings to the new home within few days, they also took, with a lot of care, potions, ingredients and other things from Papa's lab; material from Greedy and Farmer was also taken away.

The know it all had tried to make plants grow again in the deserted soil with magic, giving his own touch but after several disastrous fails the clever loudmouth opted for sticking to the original recipes. Must of his day is spend creating material for his upcoming book “The Independence Of Brainy Smurf” and twice a week his best friend comes to visit and keeps him informed about the village; as for now the disgraceful author is working on chapter 6, he considers this book his more significant piece so far thus its construction can not be interrupted.

– Brainy are you here?! –

– Oh! for Smurf's sake. –
The bespectacled hurries to to gather the things and take a hide but he is not quick enough and is confronted by his father.
– Brainy! –
– Clumsy I thought I told you that you must not tell anyone about my whereabouts, much less bring them. –
– Ehh, sorry Brainy but I couldn't keep lying to Papa Smurf. –
– You could had tried harder. Now, I'm going to save you all time and and tell you that I'm not coming back. –
– Brainy, I know that your discussion with Farmer may... –
– I already smurfed my mind Papa Smurf, so now if you please. Get out of my property! –
At this outraging ungratefulness the first female steps in.
– Brainy Smurf! There is no need to be ruth, we're only here because we care about you. –
– Don't bother Smurfette, he's not going to change his smurf. – The agriculturist intervenes.
– Glad somesmurf understands. –
– Brainy I thought that you moved out because … – His closest friend pleas.
– Because I'm tired of living with you so leave.
– *SIGH* Brainy, I can comprehend you need to independence but you don't need to go so far as becoming completely isolated. –
It seemed to work for Marco.
– Aww, come on Brainy, stop being so smurfheaded and come back with us. –
The high-spirited bodybuilder states while he lifts the furious philosopher over his shoulder then proceeds to walk as nothing with the shameless opportunist twisting to get free and the others smurfs  following.
Release me this instance you damn oaf!
– *Hyuek hyuek hyuek* You're going train with deadweights now Hefty? –
– Nah, these one is too light for my liking. – In the spirit of good fun the athlete makes two squats. – See? –
In his agitated ramble Brainy strikes a hit right on his comrade's nose, prompting the injured tough to let him fall flat on his tail and the jolly prankster to burst into laughters.
– *HYUEK HYUEK HYUEK* You just got sucker punched! *HYUEK HYUEK HYUEK*  –
– OUCH! You broke my nose! –
– *HYUEK HYUEK HYUEK* –
– Brainy you know very well that I do not accept violence! –
– In case if you hadn't noticed. I don't live with you anymore!
– My patience has a limit Brainy, I will give you one last chance so apologize to Hefty and then we can all go together. –
What does a Smurf has to do to be listen?! I do not wish to be with you so you can go back the way you came from because I'm not going to live in with you.

The bold statement creates a silence that felt lasting for minutes in a atmosphere that only permitted the sounds of breathings. The ancient leader finally recovers and with a firm and frighted voice expresses his verdict.
– Very well, if that is what you wish I will respect it but my little smurf keep in mind that I have not give up on you. –
With heads held high and spirits crushed, the rescue team exits the house that once was inhabited by their most persisting enemy and is now owned by one of their most strong-headed fellows.

– Papa Smurf, you think that Brainy will come back with us? – The simpleton smurf questions.
– I hope so Clumsy, I hope so. –
Two more parts to go.
