Bliss
After the Gala: A Night with Tree Hugger
Written by TheCrimsonDM
Fluttershy quietly entered her modest hotel room. Her reason for being quiet was simple; just because she had requested to have a private room, did not mean that her friends wouldn’t sneak in to surprise her. After flicking the light switch on, Fluttershy relaxed immensely. The room was empty.
“Tree Hugger,” Fluttershy called gently. “You can come in now.”
“Cool,” Tree Hugger replied, as she casually walked in.
With a quick movement Fluttershy shut and locked the door behind her friend. The green mare looked back with a smile and asked, “What’s the rush, is something harshing your flow?”
A tiny squeak escaped Fluttershy’s lips.
“Chill out,” Tree Hugger said, calmly. “I’m sure that your friend won’t be upsetting our chakras anymore.”
“It’s not that, I just don’t want anypony to see us.”
“Why’s that, they all seemed pretty relaxed to me.”
Fluttershy let out a sigh as she made her way to the only bed in the room, it was twin sized. “Just because they all accepted you as being my friend, doesn’t mean that they would accept you as being my friend.” Fluttershy carefully prodded the bed with a yellow hoof.
Tree Hugger walked up beside Fluttershy and gently nuzzled against her long pink mane. Tree Hugger inhaled deeply before neighing quietly. This made Fluttershy’s cheeks heat up, and her heart race. When Tree Hugger exhaled against the base of Fluttershy’s neck, the pegasus couldn’t help but shiver with delight.
“I’m sure that they would be cool with it.”
Fluttershy couldn’t help but to lean against Tree Hugger. “I don’t know about that, maybe Pinkie would accept us, but the others I’m not so sure of.”
“You’re being too negative, Fluttershy. Relax and think about all the positive energies we experienced tonight.”
“I almost got you trapped into a pocket dimension,” Fluttershy said, shamefully. “What would I have done if I lost you?”
A loving leg was wrapped around Fluttershy’s shoulders as Tree Hugger said, “Chill, sister. I know that Ripcord was being all negative and, like stuff…”
After a moment of silence Fluttershy nervously asked, “I’m sorry, were you saying something about Discord?”
“I was? Righteous.”
Fluttershy gave up and instead took Tree Hugger’s advice. She thought about the good things that happened tonight. Despite Discord’s awful attitude, he learned a valuable lesson about friendship. Twilight Sparkle was able to spend the time she wanted to with Princess Celestia. Pinkie Pie was reunited with Maud. And Rarity gave up the chance to go out on a date with a stallion, so that she could bring her little sister with her to the gala. All in all it was a good night. Oh and Fluttershy couldn’t forget that she was able to bring Tree Hugger along for a wonderful night.
“You’re right, we did have a wonderful time. Even if there was a little drama, we were able to spend a lot of quality time together,” Fluttershy said, as she embraced Tree Hugger back.
“I brought something with us to make this night turn into bliss.”
Tree Hugger pulled away, and Fluttershy’s heart sunk a little. She didn’t want to stop holding the wonderful mare, but she took comfort in knowing that she would get to do so again soon. Tree Hugger walked over to their suitcases and opened one of them. After pulling out a bag full of crushed blue plants, Fluttershy knew exactly where this was going, and she liked it.
***
An hour later Fluttershy and Tree Hugger were entangled on the bed with the covers barely covering them. Sweat covered their bodies and their breathing was heavy. A gray-blue haze filled the room, along with a pungent smell. The ponies’ dresses were lying in piles on the floor. Fluttershy looked deeply into Tree Hugger’s wonderful purple eyes. Tree Hugger stared back. Neither pony could help from smiling.
“That was wonderful,” Fluttershy whispered.
“I told you, I’d get rid of your negative tension. How are you feeling now?”
“Mmm,” Fluttershy cooed, as she nuzzled into Tree Hugger’s chest. “I feel good. We should do this more often.”
“You promised me a night full of bliss and good vibes. And you delivered,” Tree Hugger said, happily.
“I still feel bad for what Discord did to you.”
“Hush, you’re like, totally going to harsh out our good vibes.”
“Okay, what should we talk about then?”
“Let’s just enjoy each other’s energy for a bit.”
Fluttershy snuggled deeper into Tree Hugger’s chest before saying, “Okay.”
They laid together like this for awhile, holding one another in a tight, loving embrace. If Fluttershy had her way about things than this moment would never have ended. But eventually she succumbed to sleep, and her dreams were filled with nothing but love.
***
The next day the two ponies packed up and walked to the train station. They had just barely found their seats when six other ponies decided to join them. All of Fluttershy’s usual friends, plus Maud, all gathered around the pair. Fluttershy was only too happy to have all of her close friends together in one place again. She looked out the window and waited quietly for the train to take off.
“So how was everyponies night?” Rarity asked, in a playful tone.
Pinkie Pie was nearly bouncing in her seat as she answered, “We had a blast! We danced, we ate, we danced, we partied, oh did I mention that we also danced?”
“I think you may have said something about it,” Twilight said.
“The party was fun,” Maud stated.
As the other ponies continued the conversation about last night’s party, Fluttershy felt something tugging at her tail. She looked behind the bench to see what was wrong and found Tree Hugger’s red and orange tail gently wrapped around her own. Suddenly if felt like her face was on fire, and she tried to hide herself behind her mane. Fluttershy only peaked her eyes out of her mane long enough to see the knowing smile on Tree Hugger’s face. If a pony could die of embarrassment, Fluttershy would have passed on at that very moment.
“Somethin’ the matter, sugarcube?” Applejack asked.
Fluttershy squeaked and shook her head.
“She’s just nervous because she has a crush,” Pinkie Pie answered for Fluttershy.
“Really!” Rarity exclaimed. “Who is he? Oh please tell me.”
A quiet fear came over Fluttershy’s heart as she heard Pinkie’s words. Suddenly she couldn’t handle being around the other ponies. She needed to escape.
“Fluttershy doesn’t have a crush, Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash butted in. “I bet she’s just nervous about what happened yesterday.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive,” Rainbow Dash stated, flatly.
“Okie, dokie, lokie,” Pinkie replied, before smiling brightly at Tree Hugger.
As Fluttershy’s heart calmed down, she looked again out the window. The train car was now moving, and soon they would all be back in Ponyville. Fluttershy couldn’t help but smile at the thought. This moment might’ve been awkward, but Fluttershy couldn’t help but worry about how much worse it would get once the others found out that Tree Hugger was going to stay a few more days with her. At least she could take comfort in knowing that the next few days would be some of the happiest she’s had in a very long time.
THE END

yeah I totally ship these two now. is it wrong for me to have wanted to see a bit more of the action between them in this awesome romance story
I think we now know WHY she's called 'Tree Hugger', and it's not just because she's a hippie...
And here I thought it was gonna be a humor fic about her getting stoned....
I am disappoint.
I was waiting for fics like these.
I want to like Tree Hugger as a character, but I'm not quite there yet.
Granted I'm not a hippy expert, but are phrases like 'cool' and 'chill out' part of that subculture? I keep reading those lines in Rainbow Dash's voice.
Tree Hugger introduces Fluttershy to drugs? Headcannon accepted.
I could see Fluttershy needing something to take the edge off before she can really allow herself to do... well... things she'd normally be far too nervous to do.
Notes:
Capitalize Hugger.
I don't think you need a comma here. I haven't looked for the rule that guides this, because I wouldn't know where to start. But, I have googled the phrase and apparently it is written without the comma in the books Google has access too. (Google: He answered for her)
Pretty useful technique that I plot to use more often as it's so much faster to get an answer to an oddly specific question in grammar.
Speaking of which...
So, you know what time it is? Comma etiquette time!
For descriptive words of the 'saidtag' that end with 'ly' you don't need a comma. (Google: she said calmly)
Right: "Hi," she said calmly
Wrong: "Hi," she said, calmly
Funny enough, you do need a comma for descriptions without that 'ly' (Google: she said calm)
Right: "Hi," she said, calm.
Wrong: "Hi," she said calm
Easy so far right? Now to throw a spanner in the works: (Google: she said eerily calm)
Right: "Hi," she said, eerily calm.
Wrong: "Hi," she said eerily calm.
Remember how I said a descriptive word ending in 'ly' for the said tag doesn't need a comma? That's still true. 'eerily' is describing the word 'calm'
5998592 wow, nice to see you commenting on my Tree Hugger story. XD
The weird thing about hippie subculture is that a lot of the word/phrases used by them were adopted by the 'cool' people later on. Actually hippies evolved beatniks(insert poke'mon joke here) so, maybe they would say things like 'chill out'?
and yeah, I used to think that Fluttershy smoked some herb to calm down in the past, now I believe that she does it. Though I blame Fluttershy's other hippie friends(they exist in the comics) or her parents for introducing it to her. Seriously, you ever consider the idea that Fluttershy's folks were hippies?
btw thanks for pointing out the rule. I... might need to re-edit the entire chapter i just finished editing now. At least finding the mistake will be easier.
5996673 is that a Flutterhugger reference that I see? XP
5996656 Ayep, Flutterhugger, I am in love with this ship as well, she is a mighty vessel. Yeah, more action would've been nice, I might do another story in the future with these two as the focus. Maybe a sequel, maybe just another stand alone.
oh and thanks for thinking of my story as being awesome. XD
5998617
Maybe. It leaves an odd taste in my mouth is all.
Really? I know Rarity has some, but I don't think I've seen Fluttershy's yet. I should read new comics.
Yes, but I find that notion somewhat unlikely because Fluttershy's cutiemark story has her as a resident of cloudsdale that had never even seen nature until she fell to her (narrowly escaped) death. If her parents were Hippies, surely they wouldn't have kept her away from mother nature that long?
Also, I am such a drama queen that I like the notion of Fluttershy's parents not understanding her better.
No problem, but just to be clear. The 'rule' is just an observation on my part, I didn't find the actual rule that governs this. (Admittedly, I didn't look particularly hard after doing the google book thing, as I felt I had a decent enough handle on it, but I could be wrong in my reasoning for why it works the way that it does.)
5998643 I looked it up as best I could, and my research supports your thoughts on the 'rule'.
I actually like your idea about Fluttershy's parent's being melodramatic about the whole nature thing. Though I'm dark and weird, so I like the idea of Fluttershy being an orphan that fell from the skies.
5998659
Sweet. If either of us ever stumble upon the actual rule, we should mention it.
I like this approach too. I'm not sure if like is the right word when talking about a character's suffering... but I can't think of a better term.
So far, Fluttershy and Applejack are the only ones who's parents we've never even seen or heard about, right?
5998679 I've actually been meaning to do a blog, or a story focusing on this point. But yes, Applejack and Fluttershy never mention their parents. In fact Rainbow Dash only has a cannon 'father' they never admit that's her dad, but rainbow hair is hard to argue with.
5998701
Between the fact that we never see their parents, and that noone ever asks or talks about them. It makes me wonder if maybe some sort of disaster happened that killed a lot of ponies and everyone implicitly understands not to ask questions about missing relatives to other ponies because they all already know the mostly likely answer and don't want to drag the memories back up for the pony in question.
Course, I am completely aware that is nonsense.
Rainbow knows.
Tree Hugger is probably my favorite side-character so far. She always looks so fucking baked, and I love it!
6030599
Tree Hugger is my spirit animal.
I thought that was really sweet. I'm guessing that they fell for one another earlier, on the Breezie trip, and things developed over the intervening time with their exchange of correspondence, and possibly one or two unmentioned meetings.
In the Shadow Wars Storyverse, Tree Hugger is one of the Ponies whom Fluttershy especially loves (including romantically), for they are Kindred Spirits. The Shadow Wars Storyverse Fluttershy is not promsicuous, but she is polyamorous.
6114107 Yep the idea is they met on the trip, fell in love, and have been secretly dating ever since. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the story, and on top of that you taught me a new word: polyamorous. XD
The conclusion: Doing drugs is stupid.
6118119
How is this telling you that weed is stupid?
