Fluttershy has never seen or meet a Kirin before in her life. She doesn't even know many dragons because of her fear of them except for Spike that is, but she knew him from when he was a baby dragon. Then one day while she was searching through the Everfree forest, she sees one with her very eyes.
The Kirin, known as Stone, wants to get to know her. He gives her a big smile and a claw to show that he is friendly, but why is she so afraid of him. He had never met another pony other than his father and the first one he meets is untruly terrified of him.

Rarity has a problem with the way Spike snuggles with her at night. Instead of holding her in his arms like she wants, he simply lays on top of her, smothering her every night. She hates to do it, but she waits until he falls asleep and then pulls herself out from under him, curling up into a small ball in what space is left on the bed. She knows things have to change, but after she brings up the subject, she fears that she may have just done more damage than good.
