Chapter 3- Butterfly and Dragon

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The pony or dragon I should say, that I have a crush on is.... Spike.

He is such a sweet young dragon trying to help others and not ask for anything in return. I feel bad for him though, I think he deserves some reward for his work and dedication. Spike works harder than anypony that I know and he never gives up hope or questions the task. He'll do anything to make anypony happy and feel better. I know he has a crush on Rarity, but I hope he at least hear me out. I better get going to the library, to go pick up Spike so we can help the animals today.

          I walked into town, and I saw my friend Twilight with her assistant and the one I have a crush on... Spike. Twilight is a purple unicorn, that has a purple mane with a pink streak in it, her tail is the same color as her mane and has a pink streak in it. She has a cutie mark of a star with magical dust around it, and her eyes are a purple. She is also Princess Celestia's student, and is the smartest pony that I know. Spike is a baby dragon, he has purple scales with green spikes running down his back, his eyes are a bright green, he has no cutie mark, I wish he did have one, and he has little white fangs. Right now, he is on Twilight's back, writing something down on a piece of paper with a quill.

I waved my hoof at both of them, and trotted towards them. As I approached them, I began to smile. Spike looked at me, with a smile formed on his face. I really hope that he is excited as I am. I thought to myself as the drake jumped off of Twilight's back and walked towards me. I hope I'm not be too much of a burden if he is working with Twilight. I mean he is Twilight's assistant after all and not mine to use for any selfish reason whatsoever. I looked at my best friend Twilight and I asked her, "Is he working with you today? I mean if it is no trouble, I can get him any other day."

Twilight only smiled at me, and she replied, "No, not today. But he is trying to win the mare of his affection because he thinks he is 'Mr. Romantic Dragon' today and he hopes she will say yes to him."

I looked down at Spike who looked at Twilight and waved her off with his claw. Then he looked back at me, a big smile formed on his face, I couldn't help but smile back at him. "Thank you Twilight, I'l make sure to bring him back to you." I said, and me and Spike waved off our purple unicorn friend and walked back towards my cottage. I looked down at Spike as he continued to look down and write something on that piece of paper. Mare of his affection must be Rarity. He does anything to make that mare happy. I guess I'm just a little jealous of Rarity for having a great friend like Spike to help her out once in a while. I thought to myself as we both began to walk up a little bridge towards my cottage.

I hope to tell Spike my feelings for him before I'm too late and he asks Rarity out. I dropped my head a little just thinking of him and Rarity together makes me happy and a little more jealous than usual. Maybe I don't want him to go to her and keep him all to myself. Oh...my... I think I' just became more selfish now that I said that in my head. Spike tapped me on my hoof which made me jump a little and I flew off the ground a bit.

Spike looked at me, confusion crossing his face as I slowly came and landed on the ground again. I asked him, "What's wrong Spike? Did I do something?" I could see him scratch the back of his little dragon head, as he was trying to come up with an answer. He then finally replied, "No nothing is wrong is just well. What am I supposed to do while I'm here again?"

I nearly forgot to tell him we were going to check up on the animals, feed them, water the plants, then I make him dinner and he goes back home to Twilight. I hope my feelings don't get in every single way of this moment. So I told him the plan, "Well, we were going to check the animals and see how they are doing, then we feed them. Next, I was thinking you could help me water my plants. And finally I make you dinner and take you home."

Spike processed all that information into his little dragon head, as he began to write more words on the piece of paper from earlier. I wondering what he is writing about. Maybe I can distract him for a bit then maybe I can read what he has on there. No, no that would be very bad of me to just do that and invade his privacy. So I trotted to the back yard of my home, Spike following closely behind me. Maybe I should try to seduce him while we both work, but not in front of my animal friends.

I slowly walked letting my flank and hips sway a bit, hoping Spike would get the hint. I looked behind me, and he kept writing on the piece pf paper, not noticing my hip movements at all. Well at least it was worth a try, maybe next time when he isn't  too busy, I'll try seducing him again. We both finally made it to the back yard of my cottage. All the animals that I have to take care of were all there waiting for me and Spike. This is going to be a long day.

==============

Whew who knew it would be a hot day while working. The princess must be happy today, if the sun was shining bright today. I looked at Spike who was laying on his back, panting for breath. I hope Angel didn't give Spike too much trouble, otherwise I might have to talk to Angel later. I walked up to the little dragon making sure he was okay, after all we have to water the plants then we're done for the day. Then I guess me and him can eat dinner together, oh... my. Um eat dinner, just the two of us, alone, no pony to bug us about anything. I gulped a lump that formed in my throat, just thinking about Spike and I alone together, doing absolutely nothing.

That is when I noticed the drake got up from the ground, he walked up towards me and asked me, "Fluttershy do you have a spare bedroom that I can practice sing this poet I wrote?" I began to think if I have a spare room, then I realized that I don't have and shook my head. Then an idea came into my head, so I replied, "I wouldn't mind if you use my bedroom Spike. If that is okay with you." The drake then beamed a smile at me, then he puffed out his chest and asked in a determined tone, "What is the last thing we need to do?"

"Well it's not a hard task if we both work together. We need to water my flower garden." I replied, a smile formed on my face as I walked towards the side of my house looking at the hose laying on the ground. It was already attached to the outdoor faucet. I slowly bent downward and grabbed the hose with my mouth. From the corner of my eye, I was unaware that Spike was behind me looking at me and my flank. I felt a heat rise in my cheeks as a blush began to escape and form on me. I turned around, giving Spike the hose from my mouth the I hid behind my long pink mane, in embarrassment. I hope he doesn't tell Twilight about what I just did, other wise there would be a long talk then after that I probably wouldn't be able to see Spike again.

I walked to the front of my cottage, showing Spike where my garden was. I told him, "Water this flowers carefully and don't over flood them otherwise they might drown and will never grow." Spike nodded his head as he understood what he was supposed to do. I walked towards the side of my cottage, finding the faucet with the hose attached to it, and I turned on the valve to a low setting so the flowers will be okay and grow beautifully. As I heard the water running, I went to check and see if Spike was watering the flowers and if the hose was working. He was watering with the flowers and the  hose I have is working fine. I thought for sure I was going have to go to the market and buy a new hose. Just as I was about to walk into my cottage, I turned around and looked at Spike who was smiling as he continued to water my garden.

A smile formed on my face seeing the young drake working hard, Just as I opened the door I heard a scream for help. I turned around quickly,  I looked around and I saw Spike was off the ground spraying water everywhere. The hose somehow got out of control and I had a feeling that Spike must of sprayed the ground which caused the water to become like a geyser and it lifted him off the ground. I quickly took to the skies and flew towards Spike, I hope I can save him from getting hurt. Just then I saw Spike let go of the hose, and he began to fall fast as he was coming closer to the ground. I flew faster than I usually do, I closed my eyes and I began to pray to Celestia that I can get Spike before he hits the ground.

I opened my eyes again, this time with determination. I flew closer towards Spike holding out my front hooves hoping to catch him. I finally caught Spike in my hooves, his eyes were still shut closed, I smiled a bit and sighed in relief as I slowly descended to the ground. The hose danced like a snake, and it began to spray the water in the air, making it rain a bit. As that continued I looked towards the closed eye dragon, I tapped him with a single hoof trying to wake him up. i realized he was getting up so I began to panic. I ran into my cottage, grabbing my first aid kit and ran back outside to where Spike was laying on the ground. The hose continued to slither it's way towards us, but that didn't really matter at the moment. There was a life maybe at stake, I took out a bandage roll, some gauze, ointments, some clear tape, and I leaned over the unconscious baby dragon. I put a gaze band on his forehead, and I looked around his entire body to make sure there were not many more injuries.

When I picked up the baby dragon again, I thought I heard him moan a bit. Please be alright, as I began to pray to Celestia that Spike will wake up. I heard another moan as I put Spike back down on the ground. i leaned over him as the hose began to make it rain on both of us. The water was running down my mane and getting Spike a little wet as I heard the drake say, "Fluttershy..."

I leaned closer to him and said, "Yes Spike."

He the leaned his head forward, getting closer to mine. I felt his claw touch the side of my face then my mane. He kept getting closer to me, closer, closer. He got so close that our muzzles were touching each other's, a faint pink blush formed on my face as the water began to rain down on us still. That is when Spike did the unthinkable, he closed his eyes, and he pressed his scaly lips into mine yellow lips. He was kissing me, my eyes widen as two saucers, then slowly I closed them both kissing my long time crush back.

It seemed time froze as we kept kissing each other. I don't know how long the kiss lasted but I didn't care. I just want to be with the drake forever, but will he like the idea of staying with me? I had to ask him, so I parted my lips away from his, looking away for a bit. I probably blushing a crimson red, so I hid behind my mane. Spike was looking at me curiously so he asked me, "What's wrong Fluttershy?"

I mumbled my reply. Spike got closer to me, and he asked, "What was that?"

I mumbled my reply again this time a little bit louder. Spike put one of his claws on his ear and said, "I'm sorry one more time."

I took a deep breath in and let it out. I finally said, "Well ummm.... are we ummm.... going out.... as... a ...couple now? That's okay if you don't want to be with me."

I saw Spike trying so hard not to chuckle out loud and in front of me. So he held it back, he walked back into my cottage, me following behind him. I saw him looking for something, then he found the rolled up piece of paper that he wanted to practice sing a poet he wrote. Oh... my he isn't going to is he.

Spike unrolled the piece of parchment, coughed a few times, began to sing the poetry off the piece of paper he wrote on;

There's always something I wanted to ask you, my butterfly.

There's no reason to be shy.

I just want to know

Wont' you be mine mare every day; would you want me to stay?

I hope this doesn't ruin the day

For you see I had a hard to time to breathe

My yellow caring angel

You might be afraid of your own shadow

And for some reason

Please don't make this a treason

I had my eye on you

And I couldn't help but fall in love with you

My sweet butterfly, my Fluttershy

You and I should be together

My sweet butterfly, my Fluttershy

Won't you be mine

My sweet butterfly, my Fluttershy

You're the reason the sun shines

in my eyes

You're a sweet gentle soul

Trying hard not to lose control

Why can't I take the toll

And offer a little piece of my soul

My sweet butterfly, my Fluttershy

You and I should be together

My sweet butterfly, my Fluttershy

Won't you be mine

My sweet butterfly, my Fluttershy

You're the reason the sun shines

in my eyes

Tears of joy were forming in my eyes. I tried so hard not to cry in front of the dragon that just sang his poet to me and only me. He then walked up towards me, putting his claw on my face as he wiped the tears from my eyes. I smiled at the drake for being so kind, and caring to me. I then noticed that he was looking at me in the eyes as he whispered something in my ear. It was three words that I'll never forget. Spike then crawled under me, and he began to lift me up from the ground even if he was small baby dragon that knows how to speak and talk nicely to others. Somehow he manged to pull it off, and he carried me all the way to my bedroom.

Spike then gently placed me on my bed, then he jumped up onto it and crawled towards me. I was below his little body as he kissed my lips with more passion. Oh...my. I think we both might be a little busy, because we have one more chore to do.
