Spike and Fluttershy

Spike was still falling from very high in the sky, screaming in fear as the ground came closer and closer. At that moment in Ponyville a Stallion was arguing with a Store Clerk. Next to him was a huge trampoline.

”For the last time,” he argued, “I did not order this huge trampoline!”

Spike then bounced on the trampoline and it catapulted him towards Fluttershy’s Cottage. He landed face first into the ground and went unconscious. Fluttershy was nearby feeding her bunnies when she saw this.

”Oh dear, Spike!” she gasped as she picked him up. You poor thing! Let me get you inside!

She rushed him into her cottage. A few minutes later Spike woke up on the couch. He had a Band-Aid on his nose and was under a blanket.

”Huh? What happened?” he asked. “Where am I?”

Fluttershy then came in with some soup.

”Oh, you’re awake,” she said with relief. “I’m so glad you’re okay, Spike. I was so worried about you.” And she gave him a hug.

“Uh, thanks Fluttershy,” said Spike. And he began eating some of the soup.

“Angel was worried about you too,” added Fluttershy, turning to her bunny. “Right Angel?”

Angel just looked at Fluttershy, not amused at all.

”Oh,” said Fluttershy sheepishly. “But I was still worried about you.” She nuzzled Spike. “You’re just so cute and lovable!” Fluttershy then picked Spike up and spun him carefully around with her wings flapping.

”Whoa!” said Spike, getting dizzy.

”Oops,” said Fluttershy, stopping her spin. “Sorry, Spike. I guess I was getting ahead of myself, wasn’t I?”

”A little bit,” replied Spike. “Why would you want to be in love with me anyway?”

Fluttershy smiled. “You’re the kindest, sweetest, cuddliest dragon I’ve ever met. Before you came here I thought all dragons would be big, mean, and scary,” she answered.

Spike smiled nervously. He remembered the time his greed transformed him into a huge monstrous dragon that nearly destroyed all of Ponyville. He never wanted to go through that again.

“But then you came and showed that not all Dragons are mean or evil,” continued Fluttershy. “And you comfort me when I’m worried. I think that might be why I’m in love with you.”

Spike smiled. “Well,” he said, “friends look after each other.”

Fluttershy gave Spike another hug. “Actually… um… Spike,” she began, shyly, “I was wondering if, maybe we could be more than just friends.”

“Fluttershy leaned closer to Spike as if she intended on kissing him on the cheek. But just as she got close enough to, she pulled away with her cheeks blushing deeply and her face covered with her hooves.

“I can’t do it!” she squeaked. “It’s so embarrassing!”

Spike wiped his forehead with relief and finished the soup. “Well,” he said, “I’d better get going.”

“Oh. Okay, Spike,” said Fluttershy, meekly. “It was nice having you over.”

Spike headed out the door back into town. Angel looked over at Fluttershy with a bit of annoyance in his eyes.

”I’m sorry, Angel,” said Fluttershy. “I really wanted Spike to love me as much as I love him but I’m too shy to even kiss him!” She lowered her head sadly. “Besides, I know he already loves Rarity.”

Angel rolled his eyes. Then he saw how upset Fluttershy seemed and decided to give her a hug to cheer her up.

”Aw, thank you Angel,” smiled Fluttershy, returning the hug gently. “You’re such a good bunny. How about some yummy Carrot Cake for Desert tonight?”

Angel nodded excitedly at the idea.
