The Vows That Seal the Deals

Life around the cottage was going pretty well. The animals who were in need of some care had been treated even more better ever since Hurricane Blitz, a stallion with mint green fur and silver mane, moved in with his sweetheart, Fluttershy. To him, she was like an angel with her soothing singing voice, sparkling teal eyes, beautiful, shiny yellow fur coat, silky long pink mane and tail. To top it all off, she had the most adorable and most prettiest smile that made Hurricane feel like he was going to die from her cuteness. The work around the cottage was going pretty well with the both of them tending to a few squirrels who had a few broken limbs and a few birds who had broken wings. The job wasn't too complicated with Hurricane playing his soothing tune on his leaf whistle and Fluttershy's beautiful humming as they were treating the injured animals with love and care. It took nearly a few minutes before they had finally healed the little critters'.

"Oh, don't you just feel happy knowing that these poor things are going to make a full recovery?" Fluttershy asked.

"Of course, but it brakes my heart knowing that the outside world can so cruel to cause these injuries towards them." Hurricane says, looking down on the ground.

"I know, Hurricane. It brakes my heart too. But at least we're still here to help them."

"Yeah, you're right Fluttershy."

"You know, Hurricane at first, when I first met you...I didn't know what to feel since I wasn't sure what kind of stallion you were. But now that I know that you're a kind and loving stallion who's good with animals, I feel more comfortable around you."

"I kind of felt the same way towards you, too, Fluttershy. When I first met you, I didn't know what to think since you were so timid, yet adorable at the same time. But when I saw that you were like an angel towards all living creatures, I realized that my feelings for you have grown a whole lot more for you. Finding somepony as kind and cute as you is certainly a rarity." Fluttershy then giggled at what Hurricane in his last sentence. "W-what's so funny?" he asked

"The fact that you said that I was a "rarity" as you put it." Fluttershy replied. It didn't take long for him to realize what he just said and laughed along with Fluttershy.

After treating the squirrels and birds, it was time for them to feed the chickens and Angel Bunny. Hurricane Blitz felt like it wasn't a good idea for Fluttershy to overfeed her chickens, but she was always worried that her chickens might get hungry later on during the night time when they want a midnight snack. Hurricane was aware that her intentions were in the right place, but at the same time, he worried about the chickens having their stomachs burst. Hurricane went back into the cottage to prepare Angel Bunny's food. At first, Angel was a bit stubborn with having Hurricane feed him, but later on, he started to warm up to Hurricane since he blended a few ingrediants into Angel's food making it more nutricious and more tasty for the fluffy little guy. Seeing the smile on Angel's face while he was chewing away at his food always made Hurricane feel so happy.

Fluttershy walked in catching Hurricane petting Angel gently on the head. It made her feel happy seeing as how Angel wasn't acting so cranky towards her coltfriend, but at the same time she felt a bit down since Angel Bunny was always having a difficult time adjusting to Fluttershy even though she takes good care of him. She didn't realize it until the last minute that she felt a tear drop from her face while at the same time Hurricane saw her crying.

"Fluttershy, what's the matter?" Hurricane asked.

"Huh, oh um...it...it's nothing really." Fluttershy replies, wiping away her tears.

"Fluttershy, is there something wrong? You can tell me." Hurricane said. He wasn't convinced at all that Fluttershy was alright because he could see and feel the sadness in her eyes. He walked over and stood next to her. "Come on Fluttershy, if there's something bothering you, you should tell me. I'll do what I can to help you in anyway I can." he says reassuringly.

"W-w-well...I...I..." Fluttershy says, trying to find the words. But soon her tears returned and she sat down with her hooves covering her face as she started to cry.

"Fluttershy, are you okay?" Hurricane asked, kneeling down towards her, putting his hoof over her shoulder.

"It's just that I feel so useless when it comes to the techniques you use to care for animals.

"Fluttershy, how can you say something like that? You're an excellent caregiver to animals."

"Except I can't do the things that you can do like play the whistle your grandmother taught you, or even create delicious meals for your friends and the animals from your hometown AND here in Ponyville." Fluttershy said, still crying. But then Hurricane held her hooves with his own and looked at her straight in the eyes.

"Fluttershy, if this is what you're upset about, I can always help you out." Hurricane replies.

"No, I don't want to be a burden towards you."

"Fluttershy, you're not a burden and you never will be. You're an amazing pegasus who's got a lot of talents. You sing like an angel, you can cook amazing meals, as well as make tea and to top it off, you keep things clean. What makes you think a beautiful and talented mare like you could ever think you'd be a burden to me?" Hurricane asks.

Fluttershy was stunned at what Hurricane told her. She looked deep into his eyes to see that he actually meant every word he said and it made her feel a bit better about herself. Hurricane Blitz then wiped away the tears in her eyes.

"Now come on, Fluttershy, if you want, I can teach you how to make certain foods taste better for the animals. I noticed that you were a bit upset when you saw me feeding Angel."

"Really? Okay then."

Soon, Hurricane started showing her the secrets to making certain foods taste good and add more nutriction. At first, he gave her specific instructions and details on certain spices and herbs and their effects they had on the food they can be blended with. At first, Fluttershy was confused, but she quickly got the gist of it in 2 minutes. Hurricane's careful coaching further improved Fluttershy's cooking skills which made him feel all the more happy about her.

A few hours later, the two had made dinner and ate outside while at the same time watching the sunset. The dinner lasted for a good 15 minutes with them conversing about their past lives before they met. Both Hurricane and Fluttershy were surprised at how each of their lives had obstacles they had to overcome. Fluttershy with having to deal with bullies over in Cloudsdale but had Rainbow Dash to stick up for her and Hurricane Blitz dealing with his fair share of bullies but had Shadow Force and Eternal Flames sticking up for him. They even told about the hardships on how when they started caring for animals, they had their fair share of watching a few animals reach their hours of death which really ached their hearts. The more they talked about the stuff that went on in their lives, they clicked more.

After their chat and having their bellys filled, they headed back inside her cottage and into the kitchen to wash the dishes. But Hurricane had volunteered to wash them all and let Fluttershy get some well deserved rest. Hurricane was able to finish up the dishes quickly and neatly without any troubles at all. Soon he headed upstairs and under the covers with Fluttershy.

The next day, Hurricane had decided to wake up a bit earlier than he usually does since he made an appointment at the jewelry store and had to make a stop over there in order to get a special present for his special somepony. He finally managed to save up enough bits for this special occasion after a few weeks. The walk over there took a good 15 minutes until finally the jewelry store came into his line of sight. He walked in and approached the cashier.

"Ah, Hurricane, welcome back. I trust you're here for your order? I just managed to finally finish it." said the cashier.

"Really? Wow, that was fast." Hurricane said in surprise.

The cashier then grabbed a box that was sitting on a stool and put it over the counter. He opened it and revealed a beautiful golden necklace with 3 butterflies on it that matched Fluttershy's cutie mark. Hurricane couldn't help but admire the craftsmenship. He then took out a bag of bits and gave it to the cashier. After he paid the cashier, he left the jewelry store and headed over to Fluttershy's cottage while carrying the box on his back. Hurricane was excited about having to give his present to his cute marefriend.

Fluttershy was tossing and turning and finally woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside her window. She let out a cute yawn and saw that Hurricane wasn't in bed. She was worried at first, but she realized that even stallions like him have things to do. She didn't want to impose on what he was doing. But that was her last thought until she heard the front door open up. She headed downstairs to see that Hurricane had arrived and had a strange box on his back.

"Hurricane, what's that box for?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, good morning, Fluttershy. Can I talk to you out in the back?" Hurricane asked. Fluttershy was confused on what Hurricane wanted to talk to her about, but she nodded and walked out back with him.

"So what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Fluttershy asked.

"You see, Fluttershy..." Hurricane paused and blushed a bit, making her blush as well. "For the past few months...I...I feel like we've been growing more and more attached to each other...and...and I think that now is the time I came out and show this to you and take this next big step in our lives." Hurricane explained.

"W-w-wait...a-are you a...asking me what I think you're asking me?" Fluttershy asked, blushing more intensely.

Hurricane Blitz then took the box off of his back, kneeled down, and revealed the golden necklace to his marefriend and was replied with a surprised, yet joyed gasped from her.

"Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness, will you marry me?" Hurricane asked.

Fluttershy got choked up and then responded. "YES OF COURSE I'LL MARRY YOU!" She then lunged at Hurricane who in turn twirled her around in the air, hugging her. After that, Hurricane gently put her down and both ponies locked lips with each other.

It went on for several minutes until they both broke away. Hurricane then proceeded to put the necklace around her.

"Hurricane, do you think we can get married in about half a year? Oh, but we can try sooner, if you want."

"6 months sounds perfect. It'll give us plenty of time to get things ready."

With that said, the two smiled at each other and finally shared one last passionate kiss.
