Love Songs and Butterflies

"It's all ready for you." Fluttershy calls softly from her bedroom, putting together the finishing touches.

"Okay!" the Pegasus responds as he trots into the room, smiling like a clown with a rubber chicken.

"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for helping me out like this."

"Oh, umm, no problem Crashie. We are friends after all." She moves aside to let him see the little area she set up for him, he was amazed;

                     It was large blowup bed, decorated with bright blue sheets and a black cover overlapping most of it. Friskers rested in the center of it, purring into dreamland. The pillow was the same color as the covering, but with a bright blue accent.

His acoustic guitar rested against her nightstand, all polished and shiny.

"Wow, you did all of this for me?"

"Yes, umm, i did. I hope it's not too much?" She replays with a Small face.

"No, no, not at all. It's perfect." He hugs her tight, as he had did 7 years earlier.

Fluttershy's only reaction was a soft "oh my" as she blushed uncontrollably, embracing the moment.

Crashie was awaken by his cell phone, vibrating under his pillow.

"Hello? Whoever's callin' me at 3 in the morning you better make it quick." He groaned.

"Hey Crash! Vinyl here. So, liking Ponyville so far?"

Crashie tried to talk quietly, in case he wouldn't wake the other Pegasus in the room. "Yeah, I'm really enjoying it."

"Cool!"she yells in excitement. "You staying at the inn?"

"No, not necessarily. I'm crashing at Fluttershy's place for right now." Crashie tries to move his mane out of his eye, but fails the first 3 tries.

"Oh, really? Her? Huh, never knew you were the quiet type." She chuckles over the receiver.

Crashie took a deep breath. "I know, me neither. But there's something about her that just makes me calm, you know? Almost like she's a the doctor and I'm the patient....."

"Woah woah woah!!" Vinyl exclaims, causing Crashie to almost go deaf in one ear. "You mean you love her!?" She sounded shocked and surprised.

Silence creeps on the other end only for 30 seconds. "Well, umm......" He stuttered rapidly. "You s-s-s-see, I, umm....."

"Okay, I just know you're hiding it." Her voices sounds as if she actually knows what's going through his head.

"Well, umm, you see. I.." He searched for an alternative, yet believable explanation. He was never good at defending himself, weather it be physically or verbally.  He eventually gave up after Vinyl's reply to his unfinished statement;

         "Anyways, I'm coming over there I guess. I'm hosting the first annual Hearts and Hooves day Bash there. Hope to see you there!"

With that being said, she hangs up.

Crashie closes his phone and secures it back under his pillow, letting out a sigh of relief. He lays down, facing the ceiling as his mind starts to wander. Friskers rested around his hoof as it outlined the feline's position.

His eyes turn to the mare above him, resting upon her bed with the smallest glimpse of her face. He smiles at this scene.

       "The ones who love never let go, the ones who look up to you encourage you." He quoted in a whisper, now wishing she was awake to hear those very words.
