As he got closer to Fluttshy's house, he started to hear talking. One voice he knew was Fluttershy's, but the other voice sounded like an animal talking though he couldn't be sure who it was. Though as he started to get closer he could now hear the conversation clearly now.

"I wonder how they're doing on their trip." Fluttershy said.

The other voice said.

"Oh I know Angel, but this is about making them happy. It's obvious ever since I told her about Pinkie her feelings have wavered. I think it was more of a crush, that's why I sent them both on that cruise." Fluttershy replied, and then he realized what exactly she was talking about.

Angel said, and Spike made the mistake of bumping into a can on the ground.

He answered, his ears folded back.

"You mean you heard?! How much?" Fluttershy asked.

He replied, making Fluttershy even more panicky.

"O-okay, if that's what you want." Fluttershy said.

He said, and after they meet eyes and an understanding passed between them.

Angel said.

"Yes, because I don't think Spike would lie. But what would you like to eat?" Fluttershy asked, though she still seemed a little nervous.

He said, and Fluttershy nodded and went inside leaving him alone with Angel.

Angel said before scurrying off.

Soon after Fluttershy came back out, though she seemed to be calm now as she sat a big tasty looking salad in front of him. After giving her his thanks, he started eating which he hadn't realized how hungry he was until then. As he ate Maple came by to see him woofing down the salad, which she told him to savor it instead of eating it as fast.

Maple looked at him expectantly. He asked.

Maple said, though despite the comfort tone she gave it still made him lose his appetite.

"I guess that's okay, I mean it's not the worst thing." He managed to say, though his voice now sounded weird as he spoke pony.

Maple said, giving him a little nuzzle.

Maple stopped and looked at him.

He said, though instantly he put his paw over his mouth, though Maple gave a loud laughter.

Maple asked, and he only nodded.

He said, lowering his head.
