A Week With Fluttershy

When the two reached Fluttershy’s cottage it was already past Midnight, but they didn’t care, it had been the best night that they had ever had since their first night together.  They didn’t even bother climbing the stairs to the bedroom; Fluttershy laid down on her side on the couch, she looked sweetly at Spike as she patted the empty space in front of her.  It was the perfect size for Spike to crawl into, facing away from Fluttershy.

Fluttershy placed her fore-hoof around Spike and hugged him in closer to her body.  In turn, Spike took his hand and wrapped it around her hoof.  Spike felt so safe wrapped in her hooves, like nothing could ever touch him. It only took them a few minutes to fall into a deep sleep, wrapped tightly in each other’s arms; tighter and closer than ever before.

Fluttershy was the first one to open her eyes the next morning, glancing in at the sunlight streaming in through the windows, and looking down at the sleeping Spike wrapped in her hooves.  She gently shook him awake, and playfully whispered, “Good morning sleepy head,” as he sat up in front of her and rubbed his eyes.

He glanced at the clock and said, “More like good afternoon,” in a tired voice.  He hopped off the couch, and stood back as Fluttershy did so too.  “Come on, It’s time to feed the animals.”  She stretched her wings open and arched her back.

The two walked outside into the warm sunlight and went around one by one dropping food into the animal’s cages; Fluttershy apologizing to each one that she was so late in feeding them.  After that, they went around the back of the cottage and picked a few more fruits from Fluttershy’s orchard.  After that though, they returned inside.

Spike was instantly aware as he took one more look at the clock “No!” he shouted “Twilight will be here in a couple of hours!  No Fluttershy, I don’t wanna go!  I never want to leave you!” He hugged into Fluttershy.

She wrapped a hoof around him and said “I know.  Don’t worry though, you don’t have to go.” Spike looked up “What?” he asked quizzically.  “You can stay another whole week if you want.  I know Twilight, just tell her that you want to stay with me a few more days.  I’m sure she’d like the free time to study...”

Spike looked up “Really?  I'll do it then,” he hugged her tightly.

“Hey Spike, I just want you to know that when you have to go back to the library, I’ll always be here.  I might even, well…” she hesitated for a few moments “I might even be on top of the hill,” she blushed at her own romantic gesture.

“I just can’t find the words to tell you how much I love you,” he said as he hugged into her even tighter.

Eventually he pulled off of her though.  At last, they had the best idea of what to do before in their last hour with each other.  They decided to sit on the couch and talk. Talk about each other.  They sat there on the couch and as the minutes ticked by they talked about everything, Fluttershy said that she had always liked Spike since the first day they had met, despite her fear of dragons when they grew, and Spike revealed to her that he always did like her shyness and timidity, confirming her thoughts.  He said it made her look twice as beautiful when she blushed and hid her eyes behind her mane.  Naturally, Fluttershy blushed and hid her eyes from Spike.

It seemed like it had only been a few minutes when a knock sounded at the door, and Twilight’s voice rang “Fluttershy!  Can I come in?  It’s me Twilight! I’m here for Spike!” Fluttershy and Spike took one look at each other, and Fluttershy gave him a quick kiss.  They then hopped up, and Spike followed her over to the door.

Fluttershy pulled open the door and said “Twilight, come in,” she stepped away and Twilight walked in.

“Afternoon Fluttershy!  Hey Spike, did you miss me?”  Spike nodded his head and chuckled, “As always!”

Twilight glanced around and spotted a stain on the couch.  “What happened to the couch?” she asked, curious of the origin of it and making a mental note to give her a cleaning solution sometime later.

Fluttershy looked at a nervous Spike and blushed as she looked away from Twilight, “O… Oh,” She hesitated, “I… I had a nightmare. And well…” she saw Twilight nod her head in understanding.  It wouldn’t be the first time that Fluttershy had gotten scared and wet the bed.

“Well, Spike you ready to go?” Twilight asked, clacking her hooves against the floor.

Spike was speechless, nervous, but regained a little of his confidence as Fluttershy gave him a small, unnoticed nudge forward with her hoof.  “Uh Twilight…” he said nervously “I was… Well I was wondering if you’d let me stay another week, you know… here with Fluttershy?”

To both Fluttershy and Spike’s surprise Twilight asked, “Is that alright with you Fluttershy?  Can Spike stay with you another week?”

Fluttershy perked her head up, “O… Of course he can stay.  He can stay as long as he likes, and he can come over any time he likes.”

Twilight had a questioning look on her face, but brushed it off and said “Great!  I’m glad you two have become such great friends, and are getting a chance to spend some time together.  Thanks a lot Fluttershy, this takes a load off my hooves,” Twilight took a few more paces toward the door,  “By the way, if you don’t mind that is, he may have to stay here a little longer than a week.  Rainbow Dash got into some serious trouble for her speeding, she says she has to appear before a court.  Silly filly, traveling 300 in a 30 zone,” Twilight snorted,“Should’ve known better.”  Twilight put her hoof on the knob, “Anyway, she said that I could stay in her cloud house until the hearing, so I’ll be a while.  That OK with you Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy nodded “Of Course.  I think It’s wonderful that me and Spike have more time to spend together.” Twilight then looked down at Spike “How about you Spike?” she asked.

Spike nodded eagerly “Fine with me Twilight!  Have fun in Cloudsdayle.”

Twilight giggled and said “Well, I guess I’m on my way to pick up some things from the library and get ready.  I can’t thank you enough Fluttershy!”

Fluttershy replied, “Oh no Twilight, I can’t thank you enough!  Spike is a great help with the animals, and he’s even greater to talk to,” she smiled down at the little dragon.

Twilight pushed open the door and walked outside “Ok then, I guess I’ll see you two later!  If you need me Fluttershy, just get Spike to send a message.”  With that, she waved goodbye and reared up, going into a quick trot down the road, Fluttershy’s cottage getting further and further away with every hoofbeat.
