			Little Bear was sick in Fluttershy's bed, he had a band wrapping around his head. Fluttershy came in with a bed-table with ice cream and a pot of flowers on it and set it on the bed. "How are you feeling, Little Bear?", she asked.

"My jaw still hurts.", Little Bear said.

"Well, have some ice cream, that will make your jaw feel better.", Fluttershy said.

"Thanks.", Little Bear said. He took the spoon and took a bite of ice cream. He gave Fluttershy a wink and took another bite.

"Did that hurt?", Fluttershy asked.

Little Bear shook his head. "I wish I wasn't sick, Fluttershy, I want to play with our friends.", he said. "They're worried about me, aren't they?"

"I know, and they are worried about you.", Fluttershy said. "Get some rest, it always makes me feel better." She kissed him on the cheek.

"Ow.", Little Bear said, grabbing his face.

"Oops, sorry.", Fluttershy said, blushing. She left the room. Then, she went to do her laundry.

Little Bear tucked himself deeper into the bed and slowly closed his eyes. Then, he heard a tapping at the window, he looked and saw Spike climbing in. "Spike.", he said. "What are you doing here?"

"I was checking to see if you were ok.", Spike said.

"My jaw hurts.", Little Bear said.

"Does it hurt?", Spike asked.

"A little.", Little Bear said.

"I have a present for you.", Spike said. He revealed the present to Little Bear. "It's a book I wrote."

"Can I see it?", Little Bear asked.

"Yeah.", Spike said, climbing into the house and handing the book to Little Bear.

"What's it called?", Little Bear asked. He opened up the book and looked at the pages.

"It's called Between Friends, which shows all the times you and Fluttershy had together.", Spike said. "Like when I introduced you to my friends, and when you helped her play hide and seek when she didn't know what to do, and when Fluttershy was baby sitting those baby ducks."

They laughed.

"Ow.", Little Bear said, touching his cheek.

"Are you ok?", Spike asked.

"My jaw hurts when I laugh.", Little Bear said.

"And also that moment when Pinkie Pie had a party at Sugar Cube Corner when we were pretending we were eating some things.", Spike said.

"Little Bear.", Fluttershy called. She spotted Spike at the window. "Oh, hello, Spike, what are you doing here?"

"I wrote Little Bear a book about the times you and him had together, and I wanted to give it to him.", Spike said.

"Oh, that's really sweet.", Fluttershy said, looking at the book. "You should go home now, Spike, I'll let you know when Spike's feeling better."

"Thanks, Fluttershy.", Spike said. "See you later, Little Bear, get well soon." He left the window.
