"Is someone there? I have magic and I'm not afraid to use it!"Yelled Trixie in a very scared and shaky tone, after jumping behind a tree.

"Yeah, I'm here, now could you please come over here and help me out!?"

"I didn't know there talking bushes in the Everfree forest."Trixie walked closer to the mysterious talking shrub, amazed, having never seen anything like this before

"Yep, I'm a talking bush. Or maybe there is someone stuck inside the bush, and has been stuck here for five days now waiting for someone to help it!"

Trixie, now feeling very stupid, ran over to the bush to save the poor creature that was trapped. She looked in between the sticks and leaves but saw nothing.

"Over here." said the voice from the left side of the bush. Trixie opened up the part of the bush where the voice came from and saw a little green ball with four wings and big bright blue glassy eyes. She pulled away the twigs surrounding the little green thing letting it fly up into the air, it then did tricks and spins celebrating it's newly found freedom.

"I cannot thank you enough, It seems like I've been stuck in there forever. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Umm, you're welcome. Do you mind if I ask what you are exactly?" Trixie had never seen anything other than ponies and dragons speak.

The little ball looked at Trixie with a surprised look. "Wait, have you never seen a parasprite before? I guess that's a good thing though, seeing how we destroy pretty much everything everywhere we go."

"How can something so small destroy everything? You don't look so tough."

"Well first of all, thanks for the complement. And second, when we eat something we multiply... well most of us."

"What do you mean most of us?"

"I probably shouldn't say most of us, actually it's everyone...but me." he tilted his head down as he said the last part. (actually he just tilted his whole body). "It's so hard being the only one of your kind that can't reproduce. And don't even get me started on the looks I got from my family when I started to speak another language!"

"Where is your family anyway?" asked Trixie, hoping that she might be able to help him get back to whatever home he might have.

"Well, The last time I saw them they were chasing after a yellow pegasus hoping she might have some spare food to give us. I stayed back at my home because I was tired, and haven't seen them since."

"You never told me where your home is by the way?"

"Oh yeah, It's about a mile that way." The parasprite nodded his head to the right.

"Why did you come all the way out here, were you looking for something?"

"Let's just say that manticores don't really care about who was living some were before them. I was chased all the way out here and accidentally got stuck in this bush."

"And you've been stuck out here without anything to eat for five days?"Trixie said, astonished at how he was still alive.

"Well, we don't exactly have to eat, we just do it to make a family."

"Well do you want to see if your family is back?"

"Sure, you can come if you want. My name is Randall by the way." Next Chapter: The Third Chapter in the Series Estimated time remaining: 3 Minutes
