Camping, Brony style

Chapter 3- Twilight P.O.V.

The door flung open with a force. A.J’s ear, held firmly in the teeth of his female half, pulled him through the door against his will. Right behind him, Elusive’s ear dragged him through the door, glowing a light blue. Rarity came trotting after him. They both dropped the stallions at the feet of the ponies; both howled in pain.

“Somepony better start explainin’ why these two,” Applejack demanded with a hoof pointed accusingly at the two colts.

“Were stealin’ mah apples!”

“And my good silverware.”

“I wasn’t stealing them, darling,” the suit maker defended. “I was borrowing them.”

“ And I was just… borrowin’ the apples.” A.J. stated with complete confidence.

“How, in Equestria, were you gonna give em back?”

“Well, I- I was…I could…” the farmer stammered, fiddling with his hat. Twilight watched as the chaos erupted around her. Pinkie and Berry continued to argue with Rainbow Blitz while the two mares hounded the culprits for answers.

“Twilight,”

Dusk Shine trotted down the stairs, watching the chaos that seemed to appear out of thin air

after he had left. “What’s going on?” Twilight quickly filled him in on the current situation. After hearing what had happened, he sat quietly next to her, thinking. After several moments of silence, he finally spoke.

“Blitz,”

Blitz, whose argument between the partying ponies had heated to boiling point, stalked back to the librarian, but not before shouting “SIX PONIES!” back to them. Berry and Pinkie stuck their tongues out, mockingly. Blitz glared at Twilight as he passed, clearly blaming her for everything.

“Blitz, we have to tell the girls the truth.” Dusk Shine said firmly.

“What! No! They’re not going with us!” Blitz shouted.

“I never said they were going with us, I said we have to tell them the truth.” Dusk explained. Twilight fell heavy with sadness. She thought that, with all the commotion, she would be able to go with them.

“But you know they’ll find someway to go…” Blitz whined.

“Then, if that’s the case, we’ll all have fun together.” He reassured. Blitz sighed, knowing he had lost, and turned back to the arguing ponies. Looking back, eyes wide and pleading, he whined,

“But they’ll ruin it…” Dusk Shine simply raised an eyebrow and the argument was over. Personally, Twilight thought dominance was pretty sexy.

Elusive P.O.V.

“Aw, shucks,” Applejack said poking A.J. in the ribs. “All y’all had to do was ask!”

“Honestly, all that trouble for a couple of plates…” Rarity pouted, nuzzling the suit maker.

“Sorry Applejack…” he smiled. She punched him playfully on the arm and all was forgiven.

“Oh Rarity, you know how much I hate keeping secrets from you,” he said with a heavy heart of shame.

“I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me…” He looked down, refusing to look in her beautiful blue eye any longer.

“Oh Elusive,” Rarity cooed softly, pulling his face to hers. “Of course, I forgive you…” They found themselves looking deep into each others eyes once again, finding a new admiration for the other. She yanked him in for a passionate kiss, which had become pretty common for the couple. They kissed long and hard, confirming their love for one another. Until a loud cough interrupted them. All eyes, which had been watching the couple, darted to the steps, were the cough had come from.

“Hello Elusive,” Barbara said calmly, rocking on her feet. He bowed a silent greeting.

“Rarity.” Her name, which was scrapped against her teeth and spat out with disgust, shot through the air and fell in front of Rarity and finished of with a glare as cold as an arctic breeze. The white mare coughed awkwardly into her hoof and uttered a soft “Hello.”

“So are you guys coming?!?!” Berry fizzed with anticipation. Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack, and Twilight looked at each other. The girls nodded immediately afterward, except for Rarity, who shook her head disapprovingly.

“No? Why not, dear?” Elusive asked.

“It doesn’t sound very…clean…” she replied, waving off the idea.

“But , this way, you can take that vacation you’ve always wanted.” Elusive pressed

“Sweetie, do you realize what you’re asking me to do?” she asked appalled. “To sleep on a dirt floor, to live in the wilderness, miles away from civilization. To go days, without bathing!” she realized in horror and shivered with fear.

“It-it’s uncouth. If anything,” she said, turning on him. “you should be agreeing with me!” She stared at him in a way that only he could understand her true feelings. She was scared.

Elusive smiled warmly at her with understanding. He pulled her deep into his embrace. Her rapid breathing began to slow as he whispered,

“Butterscotch will be there, so if we run into trouble, we’ll be ok.” After moment in his arms, she exhale  slowly before looking up at him.

“Oh Elusive, you always know just the thing to say in moments like this…” she said, clearly infatuated by his charm. He smiled lovingly at he before his smile slipped into a dirty grin.

“Besides,” he whispered in her ear. “This way, I’ll get to have you all for my own this weekend.”

He nibbled on her ear playfully, and she erupted in giggles.

“Oh Elusive…” she moaned. His nibbles trailed down from her ear to her neck. She moaned/giggled louder.

Twilight P.O.V.

The ponies watched as the two lovers continued to get carried away with one another, red with blush.

Barbara was the only one who was clearly enraged by this.

“I’m going too!” she shouted to Dusk Shine, but she never took her eyes of  the two unicorns, who continued to nibble and giggle. But Dusk shine shook his head sadly.

“Sorry Barb. Somepony’s got to stay here and watch the library…”

“THEN MAKE SPIKE DO IT!” she shouted turning on him.

“It’s a two dragon job, Barbara.” Twilight added. She wasn’t going to leave Spike here all by himself.

“GGGAAAAAAHH!!!” Barbara stomped up the stairs and gave a final harrumph before disappearing into her bedroom.

Rainbow Blitz P.O.V.

Blitz watched from the side as his friends chattered happily, revising their entire camping trip.

“So Twilight & I will get more lighters, sleeping bags, and bigger tents.” Dusk reviewed.

He pointed to Berry & Pinkie. “ You and Pinkie will bring…” Dusk Shine paused.

“Berry, what WERE you supposed to bring?”

“Well, THE FUN, of course.” Berry cheered.

“Duh…” Pinkie said, rolling her eyes.

“Rrright. Applejack, A.J,”

“Apples.” The farmers said in unison. Dusk Shine nodded and turned to Rarity & Elusive, who had managed to stop conuddling for a brief moment to hear him, even though they refused to unlock lips.

“You guys will be in charge of bringing cooking material.” Elusive saluted him dutifully before continuing kissing his mare. Finally, Dusk Shine trotted to Blitz, who still could not believe the girls were coming.

“Blitz, I need you to go and tell Butterscotch about the changes and see if Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash would like to come.” Blitz’s eyes widened in fear.

“No! No! Dusk Shine please, don’t make her come with us!” the Pegasus pleaded, falling to Dusk’s hooves.

“Why not?” Twilight asked, looking to Dusk Shine for an answer. Dusk Shine shrugged

“Maybe it’s because SHE’S THE MOST ANNOYING MARE IN PONYVILLE!” he ranted.

“What do y’all mean?” Applejack asked, scratching at her hat.

“She’s rude, she gets in the way, she ALWAYS is in somepony’s business-”

“In other words, she’s just like him.” A.J. laughed. Applejack joined in.

“I’m sorry, Rainbow Blitz. But this is a group activity, and right now she’s a part of the group.”

Blitz opened his mouth to protest, but hen thought better of it. Rainbow Dash was coming and that was that. The daredevil sighed as he made his way to the door and looked back one more time, hoping that, somehow, they had changed their minds. The ponies went back to planning in a heartbeat.

Weighed down by the burden, Blitz’s body sagged as he made his way to Ponyville.

Fluttershy P.O.V.

“Here you go.” Fluttershy handed the little brown otter back to its mother. The Mother otter squeaked her thanks.

“Next time, make sure he doesn’t go and eat to many oysters again…”

The Mother nodded and waddled back to the pond, scolding the child. Fluttershy smiled warmly as they both dived into the water. With all her work done for the day, she made her way home.

Upon reacting her cottage, she could hear Butterscotch speaking to someone. She slowly pushed open the door and peaked inside. Butterscotch stood in front of Angel and Litihia, who clearly trying to leave through the door.

Come on, you two,” he pleaded softly, pushing two salad bowls to the rabbits. “I promised Fluttershy I would get you two to eat your lunches. You don’t want me to let her down, do you?”

The two bunnies looked at each other then back at Butterscotch flatly. The two looked at the contents of the bowls; lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and cherries. The bunnies kicked the bowls onto Butterscotch, rasberried, then hopped off in a huff. Fluttershy trotted to him as he shook off the salad in his mane.

“Butterscotch, are you ok?” she worried. She began taking out the bits of lettuce stuck in his hair.

“I-I’m all right…” he murmured, avoiding her gaze. “Sorry, I couldn’t do it…” He got up and began to walk up the steps to his room, to hid his shame.

“Oh no, I’M sorry!” she said quickly. He stopped.

“. I thought that Angel would at least eat some of his food with you feeding him.”

“Oh…” he sighed glumly, continuing to the steps. Fluttershy thought fast. She didn’t mean to make him sad. Oh, Fluttershy, you’re such a big mouth… He began to climb up the steps and she began to panic.

“I-I think it was really brave of you to face bunnies like that!” she called. He paused at the first step.

“Yo-you think I’m brave?” he turned back to her, perked by the compliment.

“Well, you’re braver than me…” Fluttershy blushed. Butterscotch shuffled a hoof at the floor.

“I’m not that brave…” he said shyly. Fluttershy dipped her head, hiding behind her hair.

“Well, I think you are…” Both pegasi blushed.

Just then, the door swung open. Blitz flew through the door, looking quite annoyed.

"Hey 'Scotch, Fluttershy." The two looked at him with concern.

"Blitz, are you ok? You look a little down..." Butterscotch asked. Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

"Well..."Blitz sighed deeply. " 'Scotch, remember that camping trip we're were planning on going this morning?" Butterscotch nodded hesitantly.

"Camping trip?" Fluttershy asked, clearly confused. Butterscotch shifted uneasily on his hooves.

"The guys and I were planning on going on a camping trip today," he said flatly.

"Oh." Then Fluttershy realized something, turning back to Butterscotch.

"Weren't you going to tell me you were leaving?" she asked softly. Butterscotch looked at her sadly.

"Well, no..." Fluttershy blinked back tears.

"But it was only because I-I...wasn't planning on going." He said softly.

"Wait, what?" Blitz asked, stumped.

"Rainbow Blitz, I can't just leave Fluttershy here, all by herself," he pleaded. "There's too much to do around here. There's a new litter of bunnies about too be born, six birds broke their wings last Tuesday, so they need to be looked after. There's just too much too do..." he said.

A new litter of bunnies? Six birds with broken wings? When did this all happen? Fluttershy pondered.

"Well, actually, the girls found out where we were going, so they invited themselves too. I came over here to tell you the new plan and ask Fluttershy if she wanted to come." Blitz turned around and started toward the door.

"But since you're too busy, I guess-"

"WE WOULD LOVE TO COME!" Butterscotch exclaimed.

"Wait, I thought you were busy?"

"Oh, um, we can just get Derpy to look after the animals for us." He smiled nervously.

"Uh huh. Fluttershy do you want to come?" he asked flatly.

"Oh, I would love to come..." she smiled. The daredevil nodded at them before flying out the door.

The pegasi headed up the stairs and began to pack immediately. Fluttershy folded a few blankets into nice little squares on her bed while Butterscotch fumbled through the closet, retrieving the saddlebags.

"Butterscotch, mabye we should stay..." she said. He poked his head out of the closet.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, I don't think we should leave Derpy in charge of a new litter of bunnies and six injured birds..."

Butterscotch blushed slightly, looking at her with in embarrassment.

"Well, actually, I lied about the baby bunnies and injured birds," he admitted. "I didn't want to go because..." he paused, his blush turning a darker shade of red.

"Because you weren't going."

Fluttershy couldn't help but blush.

Rainbow Blitz P.O.V.

--

Rainbow Blitz made his way to the park. He had wished he could have prolonged his stay at Fluttershy and & 'Scotch's, delaying him from this horrible task. He flapped heavily as he dragged himself to her favorite sleeping spot. He could hear the mare's snores echoing through the empty sky as he neared. Ever so gently, he landed on the cloud. The pegasus slept soundly as the colt tiptoed (tip hoofed?) closer. Slowly he bent down to her ear and whispered,

"Rainbow Dash, we're all going camping this afternoon," Suddenly, Rainbow Dash started to stir. Blitz jumped back, praying that she didn't hear him. But all she did was stretch and rolled over. After a suspense filled pause, he continued, from a distance.

" If you want to come, just say so." Blitz held a hoof to his ear and listened. Silence.

Blitz snickered softly into his hoof, which grew into silent cheering as he bounced happily on the cloud.

"I guess not," he sneered, opening his wings. He neared the edge of the cloud, preparing to take off. But before he could beat his wings, a voice called from behind.

"I would love to come, Rainbow Blitz." He groaned loudly as Rainbow Dash shot off into the sky, laughing hysterically.

"FAAACCCK!"
