"I knew it! I knew they were going to leave me sooner or later!" Yelled Randall, turning a dark greenish-red color.

"Calm down, I'm sure they didn't mean to leave you. Maybe they just got lost and forgot the way back home." Said Trixie in a calming tone, trying to get Randall to stop hitting his head against a tree in a fit of rage.

"Or maybe they hate any parasprite who's different! It's just like ponies who don't like zebras. Just because they're striped doesn't mean they're evil!" Screamed Randall.

"I guess it also wasn't because of those three." Trixie said flatly as she pointed a hoof to four huge fully grown sleeping manticores.

Randall's jaw dropped just before he started screaming at the top of his lungs again "That's the one who chased me!" and with that he bolted off toward the manticore, what he was going to do once he got there was beyond him, but he was to angry to care.

"Whoa there! What are you trying to do, get us eaten or something?" Trixie held him in the air with her magic. "We need to get you back to your family. Where do you think they would've went?"

"Trixie... I'm not so sure if I want to go back to my family."

Trixie gasped. "What?! No family? How could you say that?" Said Trixie very surprised. "Everypo-, err... Everyparasprite should have somepara- I'm not saying that every time! Everypony should have somepony to love and care for."

"How can you love somepony if you can't even speak their language?"

"Why did you stay with them if you can't even speak paraspritineze... paraspritian... paraspri-"

"It's just parasprite, and I stayed with them because I have nowhere else to go. If I went to stay in a town with ponies, they would all just think I was so adorable and want to keep me as a pet. Before I knew it they would've been making me do tricks like a dog. I already can't reproduce, so I don't need 'Common House Pet' added to my list of failures."

"Look, I'm not letting you stay out here in the Everfree forest all by yourself." said Trixie in a stern tone. "Why don't you tag along and keep me company? The long walks from town to town get really boring, and it would be nice to have somepony else to talk to besides myself for a change. So... would you like to come along?"

Randall paused for a moment, thinking over to pony's offer."...I'v been trapped in a bush for five days, my whole family left without me, and my home has been overrun by manticores...Yep, my life sucks! I guess I'll come with you. It has to be better then being alone in the Everfree forest for the rest of your life."

"YAY!" squealed Trixie, as she brought Randall into a hug that almost popped him.

"I'm...exited...too...Trixie." squeezed out Randall.
