Again Joey felt a cold shiver run down his spine and turned to look at some nearby bushes. Nyx stopped and noticed that Joey wasn't behind her and instead was looking at a nearby bush. 

"Ummm, Joey are you okay?" She asked uncertainly walking back to him.

Joey turned his gaze to look at her. "Yeah. Just thought I saw something. Must have been a squirrel or something. Lets go." He reassured her as he started walking down the road. Nyx felt satisfied with the answer and started walking along side him.

"Soooooooooo. Do you have any siblings Joey?" Nyx asked hoping to learn more about him.

"Yeah, my brother Drew. I'm pretty sure we're complete opposites though." He told her with a chuckle. "He's more responsible than he, he likes things being clean and he likes sports." He told her.

"Sounds like you would have a lot of arguements." Nyx said.

Joey shrugged. "Not really. In my opinion we get along quite well despite our differences." He then noticed that there seemed to be a strange smell coming from around the corner. Not a trash smell, but like an animal smell.

He stopped. "Hey Nyx?" He said to her as she stopped beside him. "Do you smell that?" Nyx took a big whiff of that smell and immediately gagged.

"Is there a skunk in town?" She commented as she covered her nose with the neck of her shirt.

Joey looked confused. "It doesn't smell that." He then heard a whimper around the corner. He carefully walked up to it turning his head around the corner to see....

A baby Timberwolf? 

Joey then looked closer and realized that it was a baby Timberwolf and was trapped under a bunch of collapsed trash bags.

Nyx came around the corner still holding her nose. She then noticed the baby timberwolf futily trying to escape the trash bags with a whimper.

Joey then started to to pick up the trash around the crushed timberwolf, until Nyx grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing?" She asked urgently. "Don't you know timberwolves are nearly always hostile?"

Joey looked at her bemused before pointing to his voice. 

"Oh. Right. But still we should at least talk to Fluttershy. She's much better with animals." She told him.

"And do you think that we should leave this poor creature under here? Just waiting for another hour before some other pony tries to harm it?" Joey asked. Nyx couldn't think of a response.

As Joey finished helping the timberwolf break free while Nyx was standing at the end of the alley. When enough trash was lifted away the timberwolf shuffled out from underneath and tackled Joey.
