The swimming lake on the outskirts of Ponyville was beautiful, even in the nighttime. The waters were glistening and sparkling from the moonlight mirroring from it. The moon was also very beautiful. Fluttershy and Spike however, weren't going to go swimming in it, no, they were going to just have a look at it's beauty. They looked at it for a long time, and the sparkling waters were making them daydream into la-la land.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Said Fluttershy dreamily

"Yeah. It's... It's so cool." Spike replied, also dreamily. "We should do this more often sometime."

"Yeah. I know." Said the pegasus. After they were done talking, there was no sound at all minus the nature sounds of crickets chirping and the moving lake waters around them. Without thinking, the two lovebirds made out u der the moonlight again, with a little french kissing as well. They both moaned in pleasure as they were kissing for a long period of time. Finally, they stopped, both blushing crimson red on their cheeks.

"The felt good." Spike said, rubbing the back of his head

Fluttershy giggled. "It was wonderful." She said in agreement.

"So... Fluttershy?" Spike said

"Yes, Spikey-Whikey?" said Fluttershy softly.

"Do you... think that Twilight really is happy for us?" Spike asked, a little worried about something.

Fluttershy's smile slowly turned into a frown after Spike asked her that specific question. "Of course she is, silly." she replied. "Why wouldn't she be? She sounded pretty happy for us to me."

"Yeah. But.. what if she's lying?" Spike asked. "I mean... i know she SAID that she was happy, but... what if she was hiding her true feelings about this?"

"Oh, Spike." said Fluttershy. She gently pulled Spike closed to her, wrapping her arm around his small body. "I have known Twilight for a long time, and she is a very understanding pony. I am pretty sure she is happy."

Spike thought about Fluttershy's summarizing, and maybe Twilight was telling the truth after all, and not just said that as words of honey. "You're right." he said with a smirk.

"Do you feel better?" Fluttershy asked, happy to see that smile on the baby dragon's face.

"Yeah. I do." Was all Spike replied. Spike then gave a little yawn, and stretched his arms out into the air. He must have been making out with Fluttershy under the moonlight so much, he's already used so much strength to satisfy himself and his soul.

Fluttershy looked at the baby dragon, and giggled "ready to go back?" She asked

"Uh-huh." Spike replied with another yawn. "I'm ready."

"Here." Said Fluttershy, "let me carry you." She gently scooped up Spike on her back and made her way back to her cottage. For she was getting tired and ready to hit the sack herself.

The Next Morning

Spike awoke from Fluttershy's bed first this time, and yawned as he got up. All of a sudden, there was a loud thunderclap. It woke up Fluttershy with a fright, and made her jump with a small, cute scream. The baby dragon also yelped with a startle and he and Fluttershy hugged eachother, scared to hear what that was.

"What was that?" Spike exclaimed. The two looked out the window, and saw that it was really cloudy outside, and it was raining, almost like a monsoon or a typhoon.

"Oh no." Said Fluttershy, realizing what was happening. "No another thunderstorm." She hid under her bed for cover, shaking while covering her face.

Spike got out of bed and joined Fluttershy under it, concerned what her little stunt was all about. "Shy?" said Spike. "Are you... okay?"

"N- not exactly." said Fluttershy uncovering her face, still shaking a little, and then she covered her face with terror again. "I... i... I'm a little scared of thunderstorms." she admitted with a little shame.

Spike smiled at her, and gently patted her for comfort. "We all have that kind of fear sometimes."

"But... I'm afraid of a lot of things." Said Fluttershy. "A scaredy cat and a coward."

"No you're not." Said Spike softly. "You're just being you. We never think any less of you. Besides, there is nothing you could possibly do to tell me otherwise." The baby dragon hugged Fluttershy tightly. "Don't worry, Fluttershy. I will always be right here with you."

Fluttershy was touched. "Oh Spike." She said "that's so sweet." She got out from under her bed, with Spike being pulled by her, and she hugged him while she was hovering, really tightly. She gave him a huge kiss on his lips, making him blush. "I love you."

The baby dragon smiled and replied "I love you too, Fluttershy." He then hugged the yellow pegasus back. "So... Should I help you build a shelter for all your critter friends to take shelter from the rain?"

When Fluttershy gently sat him down after they broke their hug, she replied. "Oh, they won't mind the rain. They're pretty use to it."

"Okay." Spike replied. "Would you like me to... Make you some breakfast?" He asked after that.

"Oh no. You can just relax while I get food myself." Fluttershy answered sweetly.

Spike smiled back at her. "That's cool. And... If you want... I can... Close the shades so you don't have to see the lightning outside." He suggested

"Thank you, Spike." Fluttershy replied. "I appreciate it."

"You're welcome, Fluttershy." Said Spike, blushing. "Happy to help."

The yellow pegasus went downstairs to feed the animals and then herself and Spike for breakfast. All her animal friends crowded. Around her, many of them saying "good morning" to her. "Good morning to you too, my critter friends." Said Fluttershy. "I hope that you're not afraid of the storm." She said with a tone of concern this time.

All the animals replied to her, probably saying that their not, thanks to Fluttershy as their company, and Spike, too.

"That's good. " said Fluttershy happily. "Now I'Lloyd be right with all of you. I just got to make myself and Spike some breakfast first. The animals responded with happy animal noises, well... except Angel, of course, since he didn't really like Spike very much. Fluttershy saw Angel's face and gave him an unamused glare. "Angel." She scolding. "Be nice to Spike. He's just. Baby dragon.

Angel didn't really respond, and he just gave. Reluctant sigh, saying that he will be nice, but only for Fluttershy's sake, also to keep his extra meal time privileges. The yellow pegasus continued to make the food right after she gave her ultimatum to Angel. She decided to give out Spike's breakfast first, and then she will get onto feeding her animal friends after that. She went upstairs and sat the baby dragon's breakfast on the bed, with a tray to keep from making a mess on the sheets. "Here you go, Spike." She said sweetly. "A dandelion, tomato, and lettuce sandwich. "

"Thanks!" Spike remarked before he started to eat. He was really hungry, and for a small size, he has such a big appetite, almost like Applejack, or more than Applejack's big appetite.

"Glad you're enjoying it." said fluttershy, facing some crumbs flying onto her while Spike was eating. But, she didn't care, she is just happy to see Spike happy. Turns out, this was a really good idea for these two after all. So far, These two are now in love, and are now officially a couple, a perfect couple.

Fluttershy went downstairs to fetch breakfast for her dinner friends now. Of course, as always, she started with Angel, since he was Fluttershy's especial pet, and then gave to Harry the brown bear, and then the rest.

"I hope you all enjoy." Said Fluttershy. "Bon appetite"

Just like that, every animal dug into their food. They were, like Spike, as in; they were all really, really hungry like Spike was this morning. Just then, a sudden idea came to Fluttershy in an instant. She never thought of an idea like this before, but it was something for her and all her friends in the cottage can enjoy. She went back upstairs to tell Spike about her... sudden thought that just came to her. When she came up, she said to him "Spike, can I... ask you something?"

"Sure. Let me just take my plate back downstairs to take the plate, but he was stopped.

"Wait!" Said Fluttershy. Spike stopped right where he was. "I can take it for you." She said

"Oh. Okay. But, you don't have to do that. I can do it myself." Spike remarked.

"I know. But, I'm just being kind." Fluttershy said.

"Oh come on, Spike." He thought. "Fluttershy is a very sweet and kind pony. How can I possibly disappoint her?" He didn't want to hurt Fluttershy's feelings, because he knew how sensitive, nice, and innocent she was. He decided to give her the plate. "Okay." Spike said

Fluttershy smiled warmly at him. "Thank you, Spike." She said. She took the plate back downstairs and came back up few seconds later.

The baby dragon then laid back with his hands behind his hand on the bed. "So, what do you want to ask me?" He asked

"Well... you see..." Fluttershy was a little sheepish, but she finally said "I'e been thinking; since it's heavily raining outside, would you... like to... Like to camp here in my cottage with me and my animal friends? if... that's okay with you, that is." She waited for a reaction. She sounded very nervous.

"Really?' said Spike, excited to hear that. "I love camping!"

Fluttershy was so relieved to hear Spike say that right out of his mouth, and said "Wonderful."

"What should we do?" said Spike.

"Well, we can tell eachother fairy tales, or stories." Fluttershy responded cheerfully. However, a look of terror came to here in an instant, and said while shaking a little. "As... as long as it's not so scary."

Spike smiled, knowing that scary campfire stories were definitely not her thing. "Don't worry." he said reassuringly. "No scary stories. I promise."

Fluttershy stopped her shaking, smiled at him, and said "Whew. Thanks, Spike."

"No problem." said Spike. He showed his left face cheek to Fluttershy and asked "how about a little kiss?"

The yellow pegasus smiled seductively, and replied "sure." She puckered her lips, and pressed them against Spike's cheek. "Oh, and I was thinking about using a blanket to cover all of us like a tent for fun."

"how are you going to get that, Fluttershy?" the baby dragon asked.

"I talked to Rarity about it. and she is making it right now." fluttershy answered. "we'll go get it later."

"Wait, what about the animals outside? Should we feed them?" The baby dragon remembered. Yes, just because there's a storm outside, doesn't mean that Fluttershy doesn't have to feed her outside critter friends.

"Oh, you're right. And... can you please come with me?" Fluttershy said, a little scared.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy. I'll be right here with you while we are out there." Spike replied proudly. "Do you have umbrella around here?" He looked around for an umbrella as he asked.

"Sure. It's in my wardrobe." Fluttershy answered

"Great." The baby dragon ran to the wardrobe and picked up an umbrella to keep him and Fluttershy from getting wet outside.

"Let's go." Said Fluttershy, going downstairs again, with Spike following after.

Later in the evening, it was still raining outside,minutes not as hard as it was, but still thunder clapped, and lightning exploded through the storm clouds. Fluttershy was having her evening tea, while Spike was playing with the other animals in the cottage.

They didn't get even wet outside earlier when Fluttershy fed her animals their breakfast. Fluttershy, was a little scars from the thunder and lightning, but not as much when Spike was with her in the rain. Thanks to them. All the animals were fed, and happy.

Fluttershy put her down on her table and looked at the clock. It was seven in the evening, which is the perfect time for this camping trip she had just thought about. She looked at Spike who was playing monkey in the middle with a seal, and Angel in the middle of the catching. "Spike." She said, walking up to them.

The three stopped their shenanigans and looked at Fluttershy. "Yeah." Spike said.

"It's time now." Fluttershy.

Spike's face grew excited. "Should I go get the blanket?"

"Oh yes, please." Said Fluttershy. Spike went to get the blanket, and tried to hold it all, but it was too big for him. Luckily, Harry the bear was there to help him.

"Oh, thanks, Harry." Spike said, thankful for Harry's help. The bear gave a happy growl to him in response. Together, Harry and Spike lifted the blanket as the animals gathered around in rows of circles, for instance their were outer and inner circles. Fluttershy went to get her lantern as a fireplace for inside and placed it in the center.

"Okay, everyone, make yourselves comfortable."said Fluttershy. Spike and Harry readied the blanket, and some of the other animals helped them. The blanket was as wide as the whole cottage, or maybe a little bigger. The Animals, Spike, and Fluttershy covered themselves with it like a tent. "Since it's raining outside, we might as well have fun inside. Me and Spike are going to tell eachother fairy tales, and you're going to listen to them. Won't it be fun?" Fluttershy announced. The animals ls gave many sounds of excitement, except for Angel, thinking it was boring. The rest didn't care, because he was just being Angel. "So Spike, why don't you go first?" Fluttershy suggested.

"Okay." Spike said. He began his fairy tale about "The Bunyip" creature that lasted for only twenty minutes. After he was finished, the animals, minus Angel, we're intrigued.

"That's amazing." Said Fluttershy. "I really hope I see one next time I ever go to a swamp. " So now, it was Fluttershy's turn. She told the tale of "The Colt and the Manticore" that was also not a very long story, but still very good as a timeless classic.

"That's awesome." Spike commented. "I've never heard the one before." So, that was that with the stories, to be honest with the animals, The stories were both pretty interesting. "Sooooooo.... what now?" Spike asked, unsure what he and his friends should do next.

"How about a song?" Said Fluttershy.

The animals commented with excitement, for they love campfire songs, even thought it's a lantern, and not a campfire.

"99 buckets of oats on the wall, 99 buckets of oats." Fluttershy sang.

"You take one out, pass it around you have 98 buckets of oaks on the wall." Spike sang along. Everyone in the tent sang along too, but it was mostly just animal sounds from the rest of the group inside the blanket, but it still sounded musical. Turns out this little camping idea was a good one.
