Disclaimer:MLP belongs to Hasbro, L4D belongs to Valve. Smokey and Smokes are mine though

Note: the reason for this is on tumblr my ponies were getting too much attention so I put them on a break until the others were interacted with more. when i brought the ponies back i felt like doing a thing since Smokey and Smokes have such similar names that they should meet and talk about that

...

The grey pegasus mare was staring at the tall smoker, currently smoking, in front of her. The pegasus had been away for a while and this was Quite a shock to come back and find. First there was the shock of meeting each-other, her having no idea what an 'infected' or 'zombie' was before now and him discovering that the strange little winged pony could also talk. He had just shrugged it off as maybe his near constant smoking was causing him to finally start hallucinating. As this half conversation went on, they soon found they had Very similar names.

"What Happened while I was away? … I... I mean our names are So Similar! Smokey… Smokes… I wasn't being replaced was I?" she looked concerned hopping that wasn't the case.

The smoker rolled his eye at the pony jumping to conclusions, however he did admit something like that Could be jumped to, their names Were close. Just one letter off. "No" he said taking a puff on his cigarette "I just dont care for my old name." He blew out a large puff of smoke.

The mare tilted her head slightly, never having heard something like that before. "But" she began, sounding confused "that's your Name. How can you not like it? …. What Is your Actual name?"

The smoker gave a frustrated sigh. "If you Must know. It's Frank"

The pony blinked. "What's wrong with that? Hey dont glare at me I was just asking what was wrong with that!"

He flicked his cigarette to knock the building up ash off. "It's too human, I dont want any ties to my life before infection. Well. Any More ties than there already are."

She gave him a once-over look, the pegasus could Kind of see why he wouldn't want to have a name that tied him to something he wasn't anymore. She didn't know what a human was but she figured on what he said they more than likely weren't green with boils, green smoke around them and a long tongue hanging out of their mouth.

"Well… Fine. But about the names, Smokey and Smokes are still so similar. How are others going to tell us apart?"

The smoker gave a snort at that. That was such a silly statement, their Names might have been similar but their appearances were Far from similar. "No one is going to get a small grey, winged, female, Pony confused with an almost 7 foot tall, green, smoking, male, infected with a long tongue confused with each other"

The mare gave a huff "that's not what I mean! Going by Looks, Yeah they wouldn't be confused, but going by Names. What if someone calls Me but by accident they call you or they Think they are calling you but instead they are calling Me"

Coughing on his smoke a little, a rarity for him, he had learned to get used to his smoke so he hardly ever coughed only coughing if he produced more smoke while angry or annoyed. "Then they will Deal with it. I'm sure if they mean to talk to You or Me it will be obvious."

The pegasus decided to back off, it had been risky enough having stayed this long to talk to him. She wasn't stupid she knew there was blood on his clothes that wasn't his own. "Fine. Alright, well it uh… it was nice? meeting you. Good bye now" Flapping her wings the pegasus lifted off into the air and flew off, leaving the smoker to continue smoking his cigarette in silence.
