Chapter 3: a Dinner For Two+One (being rewritten)

The next few days went by, and I started to notice I was developing feelings for Furry and I wanted to spend more time with her. One day, before Flurry headed downstairs for supper, she stopped and looked at me, as she said,

"Hey Zack, I know Changelings can transform themselves to look like a pony. I know you can because when you changed your form to look like me, but I was wondering, can you make yourself look like something else?”

I looked at Flurry and said,

“What do you mean?” she replied saying.

“I mean, can you change into a small creature like a lizard or something?”

I looked at Flurry, saying, “I never actually tried to, but why do you want to see if I can?”

She replied, “Because if you are a small creature like a lizard, then you will come with me by hiding in my hair."

It took a little bit of time to think. I had never been outside of the room before and I was worried that I would get caught. But when I looked up I saw Flurry's face and then I agreed, Flurry's face lit up with a big smile before I closed my eyes and thought of myself as a lizard, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Flurry looking down at me with a smile on her face. I realized it worked; I looked at myself feeling impressed by what I just did

After I turned myself into a lizard Flurry, she stretched her wings toward the ground and said,

“Hop on”

And as she said that, I walked up her wing into her back, into her hair on her head. Then she said,

"Get comfy. This is going to take a while."

Getting comfy was easy. Flurry’s hair was so soft and comfy so I just laid down in Flurry’s hair. Then she left the room and went to the dining room. But on her way, she got lost, and she saw a guard patrolling the hallway.

Flurry walked towards the guard saying

“Excuse me flash”

Flash Sentry turned around to look at Flurry before saying, “Oh hi Flurry, what’s up” Flurry giggled before saying “The roof, but all jokes aside can you tell me where the dining room”

Flash Sentry nodded his head before pointing down a hallway “Just go down that hallway and take a left, it should be the second door on the right ”

Flurry thanked him before starting to walk away but not before he gave her a flower

Flurry blushed as she took the flower putting it in her hair before going back towards the dining room

When Flurry got to the dining room, Cadence sat waiting for her. When Flurry saw her mother, she said,

"Hi, Mom," Flurry said looking at Cadence with a happy smile skipping along to the floor on the way to sit down at the table, Cadence look at Flurry giving a smile saying “Seems like somepony is in a good mood today, did something fun happen”, Flurry looked at Cadence blushing “I… I had my first kiss today”, Flurry said as Cadence was drinking some water. When she heard what I said, her eyes turned into a surprised expression as she spat some of her water out. “YOU-GOT-YOUR-FIRST-KISS-FLURRY”,

Cadence said with a voice I had never heard before. “Please tell me who it was, when do I meet the fella, when do you go on a date”. She continued to ask those questions even though I told her to stop. “We were playing in the snow and he accidentally fell on top of me and then kissed me and I kinda liked it so I kissed him back”, Flurry said blushing a little, “I can’t believe it, my little girl is growing up so fast, next it’s gonna be a date”, Cadence said. “You done yet”, Flurry said. “Sorry, it’s just that you got your first kiss, and I was getting worried that you weren’t making any friends at school.

But now look at you, your growing up so fast, If your father was here, he would have been crying liquid pride all over the place. Suddenly Flurry began to look down at the floor with a sad expression on her face, she looked like she was hiding something, “You ok Flurry”, Cadence said. “Yeah, I’m ok, Just thinking”, Flurry said wiping her eyes “Alright, so when do I meet this little fella”, Cadence said trying to change the subject, Flurry then jumped back with a little surprise as she says “I don’t know when mother”,

Cadence replied to her with a grin “Well, he might wanna go out and I would need to chaperone you two”, Cadence said as she went on and on for some time. “You will meet him when the time comes Mom”, Flurry said rolling her eyes, “Am I being too much”, Cadence said looking at Flurry with one brow raised. “Now she gets it”, Flurry said under her breath before answering her question “It’s fine”. “So what is this fella like, is he a poet, an athlete, maybe an artist”, Cadence said.

“He’s cute, sweeter than candy, but there is nothing remarkable about him”, Flurry said looking back down at her food as she continued to eat “I can’t wait to meet him”, Cadence said as she was starting to act like aunt Pinky. I was getting more and more tired of this but I figured I should stay. I stayed for a few more minutes as I grew tired of Cadence’s question so I finished my dinner and headed off to my bedroom. But before she did Cadence said “Oh Flurry can you go get yourself cleaned, I booked us a reservation at your favorite restaurant for tomorrow” Flurry nodded her head before heading back to her room

Flurry walked into her room as I jumped out of my hair and turned back into my original form as I turned back to Flurry “Well that was certainly interesting”, I said letting out a small chuckle. “It kind of was I wasn’t expecting that to happen”, Flurry said. “What did you expect to happen”, I said looking at Flurry raising an eyebrow to see what she would say. “Oh nothing really”, Flurry said in a sad voice. “I know the voice, is something bothering you Flurry”, I said as we both got up on the bed.

“I don’t know how to say it really”, Flurry said. “I think you can say it. I’m your best friend, I won’t laugh”, I said, “Ever since my father passed, it’s been… difficult. He and mom are big parts of my life and now I lost someone who means a lot to me”, Flurry said as a single tear came down her eye. As I wiped it off with my hoof. “I’m very sorry for ya Flurry. Nopony should ever have to experience that but would your father want you to be sad all the time”, I said as I pulled her into a hug.

Flurry let out a small sigh before leaning her head onto my shoulder saying “No, he would want me to be as happy as I can be, and I am, because ever since that day we played in the snow I haven’t felt happier, but I still wish he was here, I know he would have loved to meet you, I am just glad to have you as my best friend”

I smiled as I continued to hug her, a few minutes later Flurry got up and started to head to the door before looking at me and saying “Ya coming” I gave a confused expression before nodding my head and turning back into a lizard, crawling back up into her hair after that Flurry left her room going into another room, I hopped out of her hair as Flurry closed the door then turning towards a big white object. She turned on the tap causing water to rush in. Once the white thing was full Flurry dipped a hoof init testing the water before stepping into it, I look at the object with a confused look on my face and my head tilted.

Flurry looked at me noticing my expression then she said “Oh this is a bath it's what ponies use to get themself clean”. “I never heard of it before”, I said dipping my hoof in the water “Oh you will love it”, Flurry said as she brought out some of her toys and threw them in the water. I looked as they started to float up to the surface. “That’s pretty cool”, I said in amazement. “There are bath toys so they can float up over the water, would you like to come in the tub with me?”, Flurry said looking at me. I gave her a smile, before walking in myself

We then just hung out in the tub for a while, occasionally splashing each other, Then I noticed that Flurry was looking at me with an expression that I haven’t seen from her before. “Hay Zack”, Flurry said in a lower voice. “Yes Flurry”, I said, “Do you think you can scrub my back”, Flurry said, “What should I use”, I said, “Your hooves silly”, Flurry said letting out a cute giggle, Flurry then turned around in the tub her back facing me, so I placed my hooves on her back and started to rub her back.

I couldn’t see her face but I think she was enjoying this. Suddenly Flurry’s wing started to open her wings slowly as she made a noise that I didn’t recognize. It sounded like a sigh and a groan mixed together. I smile stretched across my face as I continued to rub her back. Flurry let out a sigh before saying “I can’t remember the last time I had my back rubbed, and your hooves feel better than when my mom takes me to the spa with her” I smiled as I continued to rub her back for a few more minutes.

After that Flurry and me both got out of the tub Flurry grabbed what looked to be a cloth and she wrapped it around herself. Flurry then walked over to me giving me a kiss on the cheek, “Thank you for that, I really need that backrub”, Flurry said as she then got out another cloth-looking thing. “You haven’t used a towel before”, Flurry said ”No I haven’t”, I said, “You just rub it around your body and it will soak up the water”, Flurry said, as I picked up the towel and began to dry myself off.

When I was done, I noticed that Flurry was looking at me with a smile. “Do I still have water on me”, I said, “No it's that your chitin is really shiny all of a sudden”, Flurry said, I looked down at my hooves and they did look a bit shiny. “That’s odd, how does that even happen”, I said looking at my hoof “I don’t know” Just then, I noticed that the door started to open a bit. I panicked so much that without thinking, I turned into the first thing that popped into my mind.

“Hay Flurry, Just checking on you to see if you need anything Also why is there a book with you. It’s gonna get soggy”, Cadence said, “I... I just wanted to read something in the tub”, Flurry said. Coming up with an excuse “You are becoming more like your aunty Twilight every day”, Cadence said as she left the room, and I turned back into my original form. FLurry let out a sigh before looking back at me “A book was the best you could do”, Flurry said seeming a bit annoyed. “I panicked, plus I saw the book on one of your shelves”, I said trying to defend myself “Whatever at least it worked but did you really have to turn into the "becoming normal book”, Flurry said rolling her eyes before we both headed back into the room.

When we back to the room, it was already Flurry’s bedtime so we both hopped into her bed as we said good night to each other and drifted off to sleep. Flurry moved her body back up to my putting her wing around my body before resting her head on me I didn’t really mind if anything it felt nice and I slowly drifted back off to sleep
