Soundspeed X Smokey

Smokey blinked lazily, her eyes slowly un-blurring themselves. She looked around the room she was in. It was dark, and pretty hard to see in. It was damp, too. Her best guess was that she was in a basement, from how high up and squat the two windows were.

She appeared to be on a desk, along with a few other pretty odd objects. To her right was a small figurine of what appeared to be the angry pony her and Soundspeed has run into earlier the day before, along with what appeared to be a horn of some kind. To her left was...

"Speedy's hair?" She reached out to pat it with her smoke detector hands. Suddenly, she heard the door from the top of the stairs creak open, and saw a familiar red pegasus coming down the worn, wooden stairs. Smokey stared, confused as to why she had woken up there as Whirlwind scooped up the three things around the smoke detector.

"Alright, let's do this." She muttered, ignoring the smoke detector completely as she made her way into a room to the side, closing the door behind her. Smokey heard some weird chant from the other side of the door, along with some weird flashing lights that would burst from under the door at random intervals. Around ten minutes later, the door was blown open by what seemed to be an explosion. Smokey, worried, attempted to sit up, only to feel a surge of pain wash over her. It was then that she realized that she was missing two batteries, and in trying to keep her alive with only two, her body had nearly drained the pair of batteries left completely. She groaned, now feeling lightheaded, and sat against the wall, watching the smoke clear from the room.

Whirlwind walked out of the side room along with a stallion that looked almost exactly alike to the one Smokey was brought here with. The only difference was that his cutie mark was facing the opposite direction. Smokey stared blankly at the stallion until Whirlwind interrupted.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot!" She exclaimed. "May I present to you..." She made a drumroll noise with her mouth before throwing her two hooves towards the pegasus. "Speedsound!" No one said anything, but she wasn't letting it go to waste. She made a few quiet cheering noises, along with a couple of 'yeah''s and 'good job's to herself before continuing.

"Anyways," She smiled. "Using the magic from the horn I, erm, borrowed... I managed to mix the soul of Jet with some of Soundspeed's DNA and..." She threw her hooves towards the stallion again, who just rolled his eyes in return. "tah dah!" She did makeshift jazzhands with her hooves. "And now you can stay with Soundspeed here all you want, 'cuz Speedsound is gonna take his place in your dimension!" The enthusiasm in her voice made Smokey kind of sick.

"No! You can't replace him! Besides, he said he's take us back to our dimension and-" Whirlwind cut her off.

"And what? You'll both go to what you refer to as the 'real world' and he puts you back onto the wall? You want him to never even look at you again until he has to change your batteries because you started that god awful beeping again?" Smokey, though trying to prevent it, started to cry. "Face it," Whirlwind stated. "It's better for everyone if we keep Soundspeed here." Smokey just stared, baffled.

She didn't wan't to accept what the filly was saying as truth, she really didn't. But it all, mixed with the immense pain from the low batteries didn't really help clear her mind to think straight, and nodded at what the red pony was saying.

"See? It's not that bad. So long as you don't get in my way, I won't hurt you or your precious Soundspeed. All you need to do for me is keep him away from Speedsound and myself, which shouldn't be hard. Sound good?"

Smokey somehow nodded once more as Whirlwind replaced her batteries. After bringing the smoke detector upstairs and putting her back in the guest room, she made sure to call out over her shoulder:

"Oh, and if you even hint to Soundspeed that Speedsound exists..." She drew a line across her neck with a hoof. "I'll fucking obliterate you."
