Scootaloo shivered, just getting out of the tub, Trixie had held her close and cleaned her throughout, due to the orange fillies fear of water. 
"Do you feel better now Scootaloo?" Trixie asked, smiling.
"Y-Y-Yeah..." Scootaloo said slowly, still seeming a bit nervous and shy.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Trixie asked.
"R-Really?" Scootaloo asked back.

"Yes. I love to take morning strolls, and well.. I'd love for you to come along with me." Trixie replied, smiling.
"U-U-Um.. I don't think I can take an entire stroll..." Scootaloo said, frowning.
"Oh that's ok, you can ride on my back if you want" Trixie said, 
"I-I can?" Scootaloo asked.

"Mhm, I do not mind at all." Trixie said, smile widening.
"T-Thank you" Scootaloo said with a smile of her own, before hugging Trixie, who then hugged back.
"Aw. You're welcome." Trixie replied, ruffling the fillies mane playfully, which drew a giggle from Scootaloo.

"T-That tickles." Scootaloo stated.
"Hehe, there are things that tickle much more than that little one." Trixie said, grinning.
"R-Really? Like what?" Scootaloo wondered.
"Like... this!" Trixie said, before nudging Scootaloo onto her back and blowing a raspberry into the orange stomach of Scootaloo, which made Scootaloo laugh uncontrollably to the point she almost cried.

"S-Stop that!" Scootaloo squeaked.
"You're very ticklish." Trixie stated, before stopping.
"E-Eep" Scootaloo squeaked.
"And very adorable." Trixie then continued.
"U-U-Um thanks.." Scootaloo said, blushing a bit out of embarassment. 

"Heh, let's go for our walk shall we?" Trixie asked.
"O-ok." Scootaloo replied.

Trixie then levitated the young filly onto her back and proceeded to leave the trailer, going for a little stroll
