The next morning Fluttershy awoke to spike's gleaming eyes right in her face, his lips only millimeters away. Fluttershy jerked up, afraid of her consequences if she remained down.
"Get up." Spike said firmly, grabbing fluttershy's long graceful hair. She moaned as her hairs were pulled from its scalp.
" I don't think I can do this...." Fluttershy mumbled, as they headed out into the bright morning sun.
"Celestia's orders." he replied, still haviing no actual voice in his sentence.
"Please...Spike..." she begged. She did not want to hurt anypony or creature, let alone;kill. Spike never answered Fluttershy's plee, so she didn't try again, not wanting to anger her etacher who had a sharp sword ready to attack he at any given moment. Gently throwing Fluttershy's staff onto the floor, Spike pulled out a large blacktable with a small piece of cheese on it. Puzzled, Fluttershy picked up her staff and swung it around. She felt powerful as if she was went to destroy everything. Feeling Spike's presence, Fluttershy stopped swinging and looked around. He disappeared. Fluttershy began to panic.Was I supposed to wait? Is he mad at me? Thoughts cooked through Fluttershy's brain. She heard a rustle in a nearby bush and she huddled into a small ball, retracting her limbs far enough she looked like a small yellow lump with pink flowing hair.
"Come on!" Spike pat Fluttershy's back, his hand almost sliding back and touching her cutiemark. She squeed and tucked in harder. Annoyed, Spike pinched her cutiemark. Fluttershy then sprung up and blushed.
"Im sorry..." she whimpered, sounding like a crying filly. Spike smiled, trying to exspress emotion he had tried so hard to conceal.
"Its okay. Your just nervous. Now look." He began to take large steps while swinging his long "sword" back and forth in a "windshield" motion. Trying to mirror his movements, Fluttershy fumbled with her glimmering staff. Then, she toppled over head first. Skidding into the grass, she began to cry once again. It wasn't pain that had made her cry, no, it was fear. Fear by being rejected by Spike. Glaring at Fluttershy, he helped her up but she became wobbly again and fell to the wet grass.
Spike chucked his sword down.
"I'm DONE!" He screeched, yanking the staff from Fluttershy's hooves. She welled up with tears but she withdrew the saddness and tried to reason.
"Please spike! I was just egtting good at it!" Fluttershy tried to confidently state, but her words were shaky showing she never wanted to do this.
"Stop lying. I know you never wanted to do this, but why cant you try?!" His words began firmer, a new shade of spike came into view.
"I-I I did-" Fluttershy could feel the wet mess about to emplode out of her eyes.
"No. You didn't." Spike picked up the table and began to walk away, taking long strides. Fluttershy, instead of filling with tears, she  filled with anger. Anger raged through her blood like steriods and she began to march towards Spike.
"Now you listen here! I did try! Im just not good at this!-" Fluttershy screamed in his face. Surprised by her own magnatude, she continued.
"I'm just starting so why are you exspecting me to be perfect?!" Fluttershy then stopped. She almost apoligized, but saw the impressive look on Spike's baby dragon face. He dropped the stuff once more.
"I want you to be able to fight- That's why Im pushing you" He blinked. Fluttershy's pink colored brain processed the knew found info and began to smile. She then began to laugh. Spike, ignoring the shimmering yellow pegasi's cute laughter, started the training again.
"Grab the staff by its waist band, Andpush foward like your blocking." Spike explained. He spread his small legs and pushed his arms foward as if he was pushing a cart. His staff was darker and looked alot lighter then Fluttershy's but she tried to do the same. Aches formed in Fluttershy's arms as she held it up. Heavily breathing, she dropping the staff and it made a loud clang on the dirt. dusting off her staff, Fluttershy tried again. A bead of sweat dripped down her forehead and landed on her shoulder. As she began to feel hot, the cool morning complimented her. Spike the placed the slice of cheese on the table.
"Cut it." he pointed at the cheese. Confused, she tried to poke the cheese and felt a magnet push her entire sword back. Her body flung backwards and she landed on her flank. Looking at Spike, she tried once again but it had the same outcome. no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't even get a small mark on the seminormal cheddar.
"What's with the cheese?" Fluttershy asked spike as she once again pushed back onto her cutiemark.
He poked it with his hand.
"Magnetic." he smiled, trying to tease Fluttershy. Fluttershy then dropped her staff and breathed in large amounts of oxygyn.
"Chill your breathing!" Spike commented, his arms crossed. Fluttershy stared him down, wondering why he had told her to chilll when #1: Shes been flung back about 20 times and #2: She just tried to cut magnetic cheese with a piece of medal! How does this even do anything?
"Strength." Spike smirked, almost reading Fluttershy's mind and looking away from her "stare." Calming down. Fluttershy picked up her staff. Spike then knocked it out of her hooves.
"Your tail is flexable." Spike combed his claws through her wet tail and placed the staff in it. Fluttershy's tail drooped in exahaustion. Spike tried to lift it up, but Fluttershy's tail was heavy, not the wetness or even the staff, her hair was just thick.
"Cut that, Okay?" Spike kicked her hair, dirt splitting her pink mess. Gasping Fluttershy pet her precious tail.
"Your like Rarity!" Spike rolled his eyes.Didn't Spike like Rarity? Fluttershy thought to herself. She shook the thought and waved goodbye to Spike as she entered her cottage. The heat felt nice on her wet fur. Angel came pouncing in with scissors and a comb. Crying like a baby, Angel cut fluttershy's thick tail and began to stroke it, trying to calm the pegasus. Her tears soaking into her fur, Angel smiled and hugged Fluttershy.
"Thanks Angel." Fluttershy cuddled the bunny. There was then a knock at the door. It was Celestia herself.
