Smeet Years

Addie: What? But Mr. Tungs was just here? Where did he go?

Mawl: I don't know! He's just gone! *Mawl lets out a loud gasp* You don't think he's missing do you!?

Addie: Of course not. I-I'm sure Mr. Tungs is just...uh...

*On the other side of the room, the other smeets join Addie and Mawl, all looking extremely worried*

Gail: We looked everywhere for him! He's not here anymore!

Pam: Wh-what if he is going to be gone forever and ever!? *tears started forming in the smeets eyes*

Addie: N-now I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Sili: But Mr. Tungs never leaves without telling us where he's going!

Mawl: He left us forever!

*Except for Addie, the other smeets jumped at Mawl's words, now all starting to think the same thing. Tears filled the eyes of the smeets before they burst into scared tears at the thought of their caretaker being gone forever.*

Addie: Gu-guys! I'm sure Mr. Tungs is just...um...he probably just...*Addie could not come up with a reason why their caretaker Mr. Tungsten disappeared without letting the smeets know. Feeling just as overwhelmed as the others, she too started to tear up before crying just as loud as the others.*

Meanwhile, the caretaker himself, Tungsten walked in just in time to see the panicked smeets, holding a handful of toys while he stared at them.

Tungsten: I was gone for five minutes! What happened!?

All smeets: MR. TUNGSTEN! *The smeets all ran to the caretaker with glee, tackling him to the ground*

--------

Addie: Hello everyone. It feels like it’s been foreeeeever since we were able to talk to you again! 

Mawl: Yeah the stupid camera thingy broke.

Sili: But Addie fixed it. You’re so smart Addie.

Addie: Aw, thank you, Sili! [Hugs Sili]

[Addie moves the camera so it is pointing at a small stuffed animal toy that was slouched on the ground.]

Addie: I may not know many animals, but I do like ones like, him! All furry and cute! Heheh! Mr. Tungsten doesn’t allow us to have real animals here, but he did settle on toys like animals. He told us pets are hard to take care of so he said no when we asked him for one. 

Sili: I wish I could think of my favorite animal. At least you know what kind of animals you would like...

Addie: Wait, Sili, don’t you like those feathery ones that can fly? I remember you said you thought they were cool.

Sili: Oh yeah, you’re right! I do like those kind! I couldn’t see it clearly, but one day there was this big blurry thing out in the back of the smeetery and when I walked up to it, it just burst up in the air like a rocket! It was sooooo neat! 

Addie: Wow! That’s awesome! 

Sili: You know? Maybe one day Mr. Tungsten will let us see real animals. I think that would be nice.

Addie: Yeah! All of us could play with them too! 

Addie: Hello! Wait, are you another smeet too! Yay! Nice to meet you!

[Sili clings onto Addie’s sleeve before he decides to speak up.]

Sili: That’s a good idea! Mr. Fir is sure to know how to play! 

Addie: Yeah! [Addie returns her attention to the question at hand.] We don’t really get to play a lot of games. Mr. Tungsten says it interferes with our training. That’s why we rely on Mr. Fir when he gets to visit us to play games. Last time he came, we played this game when one of us would chase the others around and tag them! We had to stop when Mr. Tungsten found us though.

Sili: Mr. Tungsten is kind of mean.

Addie: He just wants us to be at our best. 

Sili: Still...he won’t let us play games. I really want to play this hide and seek game now.

Addie: We will! I promise! 

Addie: Oh! Another smeet!!!! HIiii!

Mawl: Wow! That’s so cool! HIIIIIIIII!!!!

Addie: They want to know who we are. [Addie smiled sweetly as she made sure Mawl was in front next to her.]

Addie: You said that already.

Mawl: Well I wanted to say it again.

Sili: I want to see! Addie where do I go?

Addie: Here, I’ll help! [Addie went over to Sili and pulled him up next, giving him a big hug as she did.]

Addie: He’s my best friend and no one else’s!

Mawl: That’s not true! He’s mine too!

Addie: Nuh-uh!

Sili: Hehe, you’re my best friend too Addie. 

Mawl: Hey!

Addie: Haha! Okay, so, you met the boys, and of course, you met me! [Addie then moved the camera over to the side where two other smeets stood.]

Addie: I hooked up Mr. Fir’s old communicator to start talking to other people like I said I would.

Pam: W-what!? S-so other people are...aahh! [Pam instantly hide her face and moved behind Gail]

Gail: Mr. Tungsten is gonna get mad when he learns you did this, Addie.

Addie: Nuh-uh! And shhh, Gail, I still haven’t finished talking to this other smeet.

Gail: I’m just warning you now. 

Mawl: Hey stay out of this!

Gail: Don’t tell me what to do!

[Sili decided to speak up before a fight started.] 

Sili: Uh, what else did that other smeet ask?

Addie: Oh! Something about what games we like and if we like something called hide and seek?

Mawl: What’s that game!? I want to play!

Sili: Me too!

Addie: It’s so nice to meet you! I know I said this already, but I’m Addie! I’m happy I got through to someone! Hiiii! 

Sili: A-Addie? Who was that?

Addie: I made that communicating thingy so we can talk to more people now! 

Mawl: Ah cool! 

Sili: I don’t think Mr. Tungs will like this. 

Addie: Sure he will! Come on! We can all tell him together! He should be back soon!

Sili: Okay! 

I posted this same picture on my other blog, but here are all the smeets in the smeetery! This is just so I know everyone can see who is who for the smeets. I’m going to do another picture in the future of the adult irkens you will meet soon. 

Here’s some extra info about them though. Nothing big, just a basic intro for each.

Mawl: The smallest smeet, but the most rambunctious. He loves to climb and can always be found trying to do something dangerous. He tends to get in trouble because he is always caught by Tungsten. 

Sili: Sili was born with an infection in his eyes, so now he has trouble seeing. But he never lets his poor sight get in the way. He almost is always next to his best friend Addie and always supports her when she makes decisions for the group.

Addie: The unintentional leader of the smeets. She always seems to take charge without even meaning to and looks out for all the other smeets because she feels bad that Mr. Tungsten has to do a lot of the work. She adores Tungsten so much and always wants to make him happy.

Gail: This smeet is far more serious then the others. She has a fighters spirit and constantly gets in fights with Mawl, which gets them both in trouble a lot. She always listens to Tungsten when he has them work. Gail also loves naps despite her urge to always work on her training. Tungsten’s friend Fir believes she uses so much energy training and being serious, that it’s no wonder why she also loves to nap.

Addie: I did it! I did it!

Addie: I’m a part of Mr. Tungsten’s smeetery! Mr. Tungsten is my caretaker and is the best! But lately, he has been very sad, so I made this for him so he can talk to a whoooole buncha people! Maybe now that he can talk to more people he will be happier! 

But I also kind of made this for all my friends! We don’t get to meet many other people so I think this will be fun for us! Um, I have to go find Mr. Tungs and let him know what I did. I hope to hear from you all later! Bye for now!!!!!

[Addie runs off in joy]
