It felt warm, the sun and its rays touching against the bare skin, heating and comforting with ease. A cold wind flew by and cooled the body of everypony near. The mane six, eating out of a basket and plates littering the long squared designed fabric that held it all together. Laughing together, murmuring of past inconveniences and interesting opportunities. Amidst the conversation, Fluttershy was preparing, she wanted to try something unique in this light of day. A comforting blanket rested with the clean green grass.
Fluttershy had her mane hanged up, having it flow with the wind would be something she wanted to avoid. It would interfere too much and she just couldn't have that. A red ribbon tying it together and her own personal wooden basket sitting near. The rest of them, conversing and Spike running through the endless green that were unharmed by his fast step. So invigorating was the run, Spike felt so clear of any responsibilities that would plague him back home. Here he was dancing with freedom, and together they were having such a good time.
Fluttershy opened the two door entry way on her basket to find her prized oils and lotions. There, she pulled out the oil caskets carrying the precious scented oils and the plastic-covered lotions that were ready to soothe. The others, with mouthful of strawberry filling and wet tongues that spoke freely, noticed that Fluttershy had disappeared. A spark of worry swept over their heads. They called out her name, wondering were she had gone. Out behind a tree near, the lost Fluttershy emerged to where everypony could see her.
She came swiftly to their call to be met with a stark joy of reunion. Rarity spoke up from the rest, so curious to where her friend had been.
"Fluttershy? Where did you go? And where did you find that beautifully red ribbon?"
"Yea, we were just about to eat the rest of the pie, we thought you went home." said Rainbow Dash.
"I'm sorry, I just had this idea to do something nice that I hope you all could try it with me."
"What is it?" said Twilight questionably.
"Well, Its a surprise, and I can only do it with one pony at a time. Any volunteers?"
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Do me! I love surprises! And it must be a woozy with Fluttershy of all ponies!" said Pinkie Pie while bouncing up and down excitedly.
"Well, Pinkie, you have too much energy right now, and I need somepony..."
"No problem! I'll be the first for your surprise, I know, I'm always the best candidate for everything." said Rainbow Dash.
"Okay, well, follow me. I'll get the rest of you guys later, but one pony at a time!"
Rainbow followed Fluttershy to the large tree that was a few feet far away. There, Rainbow noticed the oils, lotions, and the CD player that sat silently.
"What is all this Fluttershy?"
"Well, I know its a bit odd, but I wanted to give you all a nice massage, and trust me, its amazing in this verdant nature..."
"Awesome! I've been so sore since Wonderbolts practice yesterday, this'll be great for me."
"Oh well, ok, just lay down on the blanket and I'll get started."
Rainbow lay upon the white blanket that spread out enough for her whole body. Fluttershy pressed her hoof on the CD player for soothing music to play. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and felt nature take control. The wind cooling her mane and back as it pushed itself through like a floating ocean wave. The tree branches cracking, leaves shaking around by the force of the wind. The squish of the lotion pouring out into soft, yet hard hooves that cherish.
Fluttershy began with the legs, now the lotion covered over the tough lower thigh. Pressing firmly against the muscle, she slid over the whole right leg to cover the entirety of it. Then, she began firmly pressing against the back thigh that was close to the pelvis. Using a circular motion around that part of the leg; Rainbow Dash sighed in relief at the tension that was being released. Moving closer, the hooves twisted around the muscle while applying firm pressure. Rainbow was unable to open her eyes from the intensity.
Down to the base where the hoof and the leg connected, hard pressure met deep into the muscle. Tension evaporated like vaporized pain. Towards the hoof, the whole thing was stiff at the feel. Fluttershy pushed the hoof down from its hard surface and gave way to a loud crunch. By now, Rainbow had lost all control over her head, it lay quietly on the blanket. The crack of the joint had given Rainbow restful euphoria.
Moving towards the back, her hooves worked to find tension points in the muscle. One by one, she pressed her hoof on each stress bubble. Each time, it made a pegasus coo in joy. Next was the arms, Fluttershy used the same twisting motion on them as before until she made it to the hooves. There, she squeezed them tightly, up and down till a crack was made.
"Alright Rainbow, its time to get up, I'm going to do a neck and head massage."
"Oh yes, please."
Up she went, laying on Fluttershy's chest for support, she then heard the familiar squirt. Into the masseurs hoof was scented oil that smelled of lilacs. On top the middle of the scalp was were she spread the oil over her head. It went over Rainbow's mane and smelled nice. Fluttershy combed over her head with her hooves, it was slow and went deep into the scalp.
After a while of messing up the mane, Fluttershy, then worked on the stiff shoulders. She pressed her hooves down and used a cupping motion over the meat. Stiff as usual from such a hard flyer like Rainbow was, it made sense how much tension could be found. The oil warmed the skin by its touch.
"Alright Rainbow, your done."
"Hmm...?"
"Come on, its already night time."
"What?"
"Everypony has already left, we should go."
"Ah well, thanks Fluttershy, that was amazing."
"Yea, too bad I couldn't do it for anyone else, you really were into it."
"Heh, maybe next time, you could work on my wings?" said Rainbow Dash with a smirk.
"Oh you!"
And so, off the two went, the moon watched silently as Fluttershy put all the stuff in her basket. And thusly, they flew home, a relaxed Rainbow surely would be able to sleep wonders.
