Soundspeed X Smokey

As the final school bell rang throughout the schoolyard, Speedy trotted through the highschool-aged ponies, blending in almost perfectly with his childish structure. Fairly enough, he could probably pull off being a middle schooler if he tried hard enough. He made his way through the crowd, trying to find someone to casually ask if he could room with them for a couple days. After a couple minutes of looking around the place, he happened to run into a familiar pony.

The purple pony growled, pushing him to the side. "Outta my way!" She yelled, stomping past him. Dazed, he didn't even realize that she had just, well, for lack of a better word, disappeared once she went behind a tree. Yet another familiar pony walked out from behind the tree in the opposite direction that the other was going.

"Speedy!" She yelled, running across the walkway to him. "Do you not have anywhere to stay for the night?!" She asked, holding his hoof with hers.

"Uh..." He sighed, giving in. He had to admit it, he was tired. "Yeah, actually." Whirlwind's eyes lit up in excitement.

"Great! I actually have another room in my house with a bed if you want. We can even make a special bed for your..." She looked down upon Smokey, sending an evil-looking shadow over the kawii smoke detector, who shrank behind Soundspeed's mane.

"Sounds good, let's go." He said reluctantly.

It was about eight thirty at night the same evening the red pony had brought the grey stallion into her home. Though both of them were expecting the other to be sleeping, neither of them were doing so. In fact, the only one sleeping was Smokey, who was dreaming of her father.

"Damn it." Speedy muttered, flipping through a book of magic that he probably stole from the school library. There had to be a way to get him back to normal, there just had to. Whirlwind, however, was fucking about with a different type of magic.

A small, angry horse figurine stood upon her shelf. Upon tapping it with her hoof, the figure said quietly;

"Try growing up without a father" She smiled happily to herself. Forcibly sawing off a unicorn's horn when she was seven had done her good, after all.

Soundspeed woke up the next morning, only to find the other Pegasus had already gone off to school. She had left a note (quite creepily, really) next to his face on the desk that he had fallen asleep on.

Sorry, Speedy! I had to run to school early again today! I also returned your book, I hope you don't mind!

He could feel the smirk in the note. Damn. She was a self-insert OC, if he'd ever seen one.

He sat up, and looked around.

After a few seconds, he realized-

Smokey was nowhere to be found, and in the place of where the smoke detector was the night before,

Was two double A Batteries.
