	Discord was sure he had heard it again. He perked his ears to attention one more, concentrating on nothing but the wooded area around him. His head moved in sync with his eyes as he scanned the distance around him and Fluttershy. 

He heard a twig snap and he swung his head in that direction. This sound was closer to them than the last one had been, but Discord still couldn't see anything.

"There, that's the last one. Now we can go home Discord… Discord?" Fluttershy looked at her husband and noticed that he wasn't paying any attention to her.

He heard the crunching of leaves, louder and closer than ever before.

"Do you hear that?" He whispered to her.

"No, hear what?"

It was then that Discord realized that he was the only one who could hear it, he could see and hear things at a much farther distance than regular ponies could, and unfortunately, Fluttershy fell under that category. 

All of a sudden, Discord saw a tall bush begin to rattle and shake. He started to get a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach at the way the bush was being disturbed..

"I think we should leave." Discord leaned down and whispered into his wife's ear.

Fluttershy became annoyed then. "I'm aware Discord, you have made your opinion on the matter perfectly clear since we got here. I finished picking all the blueberries so..

"No not about that!" Discord hissed softly, "Listen.."





Brett peeked over the tall bush that was blocking their path. When he looked over the top, his eyes widened to the size of saucers.

"What the hell is that!?" He whispered fiercely, his gaze still fixed on whatever was on the other side.

"What? What is it?" Gunner came up to stand next to Brett.

"That's the thing, I don't know what it is! I'm familiar with almost all the animal species but have never seen nor heard of these creatures before!"

"Here, let me see." 

Brett pushed the top of the bush down a bit to make room for the other man to see out as well.

What the two men were seeing was a draconequus... and a pegasus...
