♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖   The wind flowed past the double headed figure's frame as the pair streamed across the massive meadow. The two faces shared the same determined expression as dust kicked up behind their powerful legs. They were free, somewhat free anyway, their human partner had allowed them to run around in the wild occasionally and this just so happened to be one of those instances.
Then suddenly the pair came to a dead stop on the edge of the meadow that appeared to go into a wooded area. At that point one of the heads shed their serious tone and adopted a more joyful one, even going so far as to give a bit of a whistle between the opening of his beak. While this was happening the other head kept scowling but more directed at the other head he shared a body with and then with a massive squawk scared the other head.
As the squawk sounded Castor stopped his whistling only to bashfully poke at the rough ground with the tip of his beak. Sometimes Pollux was just so unkind to his creative half.

That same wind caressed the corporal form of a single girl as walked through the woods. Her clothing was torn, littered with both dirt and blood, remnants of her lastest battle. Even if she no longer looked like "normal" Pokemon, she still felt the same urges to fight. This being said, when she came across the agressive Beedrill...well, s**t went down.
Solange was beginning to think better of her choices. The first being that in order to feel that rush of freedom she had run away from her trainer, thus becoming not only lost, but without a way to heal herself. She had been looking for hours for a berry bush, but she couldn't keep fooling herself. She was even starting to...dare she say it? Solange bit her lip. She was starting to feel lonely.
With her canine ears pressed against her head, the houndour walked with caution. It would have helped if it wasn't so qui- "What was that?" She asked herself, standing a little straighter. Solange followed the sounds, expecting to see help and got a Doduo in return. One that was arguing with itself to boot.
She simply pinched the bridge of her nose and groaned.

♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖ Castor was the first to shift his view over to the unusual human, though, once his glance shifted Pollux immediately turned his head as well. Oh the stresses of sharing a brain with the guy you share a body with...
With both heads curious the Doduo slowly and hesitantly approached Solange, with each step the two took in all the physical traits she had. She was unlike anything the pair had seen before and the amount of curiosity that filled their joint brain forced them into each step. "What the hell are you?" Squawked the serious face while the other chirped in a kinder tone, "I'm sorry, he's short tempered, who... and what are you?" Castor didn't sound much nicer than Pollux but he meant to come off as more kind, if it was noticeable through bird squawks.

Solange cocked her hip to the side, placing a clawed hand upon it with growing agitation. Honestly, it was funny how irony worked. It seemed like only yesterday that she'd asked the same question to a funny looking human herself, only to later find out she was part of a group that had been a Pokemon once. Or was it still....?
"It's cool. He's like me." She shrugged, trying not to let the questions get the better of her. Solange was swiftly learning that the longer she stayed like this, the more she needed to talk with others, even if she didn't want to. So, instead of fleeing, she stayed. "My name is Solange, and I'm a houndour. Duh."
She gave the Doduo a droll stare. How stupid was this thing, anyway?

♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖ The statements nearly horrified Pollux, but his companion however seemed to have a twinkle in his eye as Solange explained what she was. In the pair's hivemind there was a sort of argument as to what they should do, Pollux was dead set on running away while Castor was more or less scanning Solange over to assess what they should do. She's crazy! The human thinks she's a houndour AND SHE LEARNED HOW TO SPEAK IT!
Castor countered, what if she really is, could you imagine what it would be like to be like Maxie? Be able to talk to humans and pokemon? I want to know what happened to make her like this! Though, she did say she was like Pollux in that she had a short temper... Well, bright ideas were not among the bird's skills, they were exceptional runners and strong fighters, but beyond that they were either average or less than.
For a moment Castor ruffled his beak through his and Pollux's torso of feathers and pulled out a small blue berry within its beak and presented to the foreign Solange. "He says you are hurt, this should help..." Pollux spoke for Castor as the kinder head was unable to at the time, though it still didn't mean he wasn't shaky about how Solange was or anything about her for that matter, but with Castor in control of the legs Pollux was beyond unable to get out of there.

Solange reached up to scratch the back of her in true canine style. When the offending itch had been satisfied, she shook her head, little white hairs flying this way and that. It was as much as distraction as it was a chance for her to stare at the two without looking creepy. Surprisingly enough, this was the first time she'd ever seen a Doduo, and it was...odd.
"Oh, wow!" She barked, taking the berry into her eager hands. It was there only a short while before she gobbled it up. Almost instantly she felt the surge of healing run down down her limbs. The cuts didn't hurt as badly as before, and her bruises had all, but faded away. "Thanks. I've been looking for these for a while, but I'm not very good at this sort of thing."

♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖ Once the berry was given Castor slowly bent the pair's legs down until they were somewhat hidden underneath their ball of feathers and allowed the two to roost in place. "We are able to cover more ground and four eyes see much more than just two." The statement gave a bit of insight on how the pair worked, no they were by no means harmonious but they could coexist in the same body, even within the same mind. In a weird way Pollux and Castor were the same entity, just different sides of the same coin.
"So what exactly happened to you?" Castor's curiosity would be quenched and hopefully following they could get down to business on the sort of things friends did. "My name is Castor by the way, and this fine feathered fellow here is Pollux, we are happy to meet you." This statement once again, gave more insight, though the only thing it helped show was that while they did share a hivemind, it was a scatter hivemind. Castor would at least put for the effort for Solange's story if she was willing to give it...

Seeing the Doduo's casual actions, Solange followed suit. She bent down at an awkward angle, still unused to her new form, but managed to sit down never the less with her legs crossed before her. "So you two work well with each other?" Solange asked skeptically. It really didn't seem like the two were capable of such a thing, but the little things she was beginning to notice added up.
"What do you-? Oh, you mean this." A vague hand gestured covered her body. "I was running through the trees when I saw this bright...thing chasing me." It wasn't a very detailed description to be sure, but it was all she knew. As she spoke, Solange began to gesticulate with her voice reaching higher pitches. "So there I was, running as fast I could, when I look back and there it is. It's still on my tail! I tried to avoid it, but eventually...BAM! It hit me, knocked me out!, and when I woke up..." She waved to herself.
"Does that cover it? Castor? Pollux?"

♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖ With each passing word Castor's eyes became more and more encased, a sparkle showing his interest. "That sounds so amazing! Do you think that whatever was chasing you turned you into that? I wonder if we could encounter one of those things..." Castor spoke happily after hearing her intriguing story.
Pollux however was mortified by his companion's joy for the Houndoom's predicament. "That sounds horrible, I couldn't imag-" Before Pollux could get his words out Castor snapped his long and narrow beak onto Pollux's neck resorting the words to mere squawks.
"Hold your tongue Pollux, to be human would be amazing!" With those words Pollux's eyes glared down to his other head and unleashed a small barrage on his friend's face. It was officially on!

Solange scratched the back of her head, becoming more and more uncomfortable by the minute. Castor's enthusiasm was seriously starting to creep her out. "Ya, I guess, so, but I-"
And there it was. What was she supposed to do now? They were really going at it! "Hey! Stop it, you guys!" She wasn't sure that her words were going to be heard, over all that squawking, so she dove in and attempted to grab their respective beaks. "Stop it! Fighting each other is stupid, and it won't solve your problems." She was so going to be struck down for giving anger advice. "Look, I'm still a Pokemon, alright? I'm not even really human, and besides, who says it'll happen to you? Right? It's random like that."

♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖ The pair were deafened to the pleas Solange was calling out. However, the moment Solange had her clawed hands grasped around each beak Castor sprouted the Doduo's legs from underneath them and the second they were outstretched they sprinted forward. It took a few moments for their legs to get up to speed but once they were up to near top speed (55 mph) the pair of heads were resorted to makeshift handlebars that squawked nearly constantly making their ability to listen that much harder.
The path the Doduo seemed to be taking was somewhat random however, the general direction was one in which led straight into a rather large stream. As the pair ran each head raised and lowered randomly which seemed to cause the three of them to run even faster.

Solange couldn't help it; she shrieked. It was the first sound she'd uttered since gaining her new form that truly sounded like the young girl she'd become. However amazing that was it didn't help her at all. At this point all she could hope to do was hold on and keep them all from getting seriously injured.
She tucked her legs up so they wouldn't be flailing around her while she attempted to steer the rampaging Doduo away from trees and other such obstacles. Seeing the stream, Solange's eyes widened and with a growl she pulled on the two beaks as hard as she could, hoping to stop them in time.

♬♫♪♩ Castor & Pollux ✚✖✚✖ Castor & Pollux were sprinters, they could run great distances in the matter of seconds leaving nothing but a trail of tracks and dust behind them. That being said, they were good at running fast, they weren't so good at stopping on a dime. As they neared the massive stream they felt the tug of something on their necks, and instead of attempting to stop they charged harder. Once they reached the water's edge they leaped and began flapping their tiny wings.
While the wings were barely helping the three glide in the air the jump was extremely powerful. The three soared high into the air as they bounded over the passage of water. With each second in the air the pair of doduo heads squawked louder and louder, they obviously had a severe hatred of swimming, which was good since Solange had a severe hatred of dying. As they glided down the three slowly approached the other edge until Castor outstretched his legs to land on solid ground to continue running. However, during their flight Castor & Pollux had calmed to the point they were attempting to stop.
SQUAWK!

Solange could have sworn that time stood still as they sailed over the water. She looked to her left, then the right, noticing how the two heads were squawking in slow motion. The houndour could see trees passing, but slowly, almost as if she were in a dream.
Until she heard the screaming. Yes, what was that? that awful, high pitched shrieking? It was starting to hurt her ears. It was a mix between a dog's houl and a girl's- Oh. It was at that point that Solange realized that horrendous noise was coming from the combined mixture of the Doduo's non-stop noise and her own.
Seeing her chance, Solange waited for the pair to slow down just enough for her to jump off and run for her dear life. She didn't even look behind her as she crashed through the trees, praying against all hope that she could find her trainer fast and get the hell out of dodge.
