Hope you enjoy it) After he drinks the tea, he walks to the kitchen, but feeling much better, about just happened between him and Rarity. But the Distractions only just start to him, and the reason? He didn’t know…yet. “So…do you like it?” “Yes Fluttershy, you prepare a delicious tea!” “Oh~ stop it~ I’m not too good~” “Why not? That was perfectly…” Spike, wasn’t listening about Fluttershy’s Warning with her hoof… *THUD* “¡OH SPIKE! ¿Are you Ok?” The dragon stand up again because was a little stair than he didn’t see and, he answer faster and the same time with a ‘Confidence’ tone. “Ye-yeah, I’m fine, don’t worry about me” After recover from the floor, he clean the floor when he fall, and pick up some scales than get separated from his body. “See? I’m fine and I clean the mess I did. In fact I’m a strong dragon, I'm a-” “wounded dragon?” Fluttershy interrupt Spike in a funny way; but, she believe at the same time, to feel weird about that phrase. “Oh, no, no, no, no, I-I didn’t mean that! Ugh…wait..." before she can continue, her hoofs can’t resist more and she kneels down. “¿¡Fluttershy!? Here, grab on my shoulder” Spike carry Fluttershy to her couch next to them. “You didn’t recover from the accident, maybe you need rest. If you need my help, only say my name; I’m going to stay here to do anything you want, until I call the Doctor and he arrive, to be more relaxed and if you don’t have any serious problems” In a more gentle whisper tone, she answer him before fall asleep “Okay…I’m counting on you”. Spike grab the phone next to the couch and call the Ponyville Hospital, faster than he can believe, a mare receive his call. “Good afternoon Sir ¿How I may help you?” “Hi, I’m Spike, I call from the house of Fluttershy; is next to the entrance of the Everfree Forest; send here a Doctor.” “I see…well, there is still a doctor on duty, I send him” “Thanks, Good-bye.” Moments later, a voice coming from the living room was calling him; without thinking twice he runs faster to attend Fluttershy. “I-I’m…here…*gasp* what do you need?” “Please, a glass of water” Spike run to the kitchen, began to find a simple glass; found it, he open the griffin of water and poured in the glass. When the water reaches only 3 cm to the edge, he closes the griffin and ran again with Fluttershy. “Here…*gasp* the…glass…*loud gasp* of water.” And fall on the floor after give the glass of water to her; and again exhausted. “*Giggle*… you‘re so cute when you act like that” Spike slowly stand up with a…weird face “¿What-what did you say? What I meant, is I don’t blame you about that but, I thought anypony can say such things to a…dragon?!” “Oh…well, somepony need to start it, to get normal when someone say things like that to you, and why not start it right now?” She says while her eyelids stay in the middle of her eyes with a warm, small and soft smile. (Uh? wait a minute…I-I was thought about her in that way? No…could be a mistake. But, if is not a mistake, then what did just happen!?). “You need something more?” “Y-yes…a blanket…” “IN A SECOND” But accidentally he stepped in his own tail and get hurt with the cold floor again. *THUD* “OUCH!” “He…he, be more careful Spike. You don’t need to run like this, have you a problem?” “ME- I say me? No, no, no, of course not” Far away in Canterlot Twilight was in Canterlot, speaking with the Princess about how her friendship has become an unstoppable and an unbroken chain of miracles, and other stuff like adventures and funny memories. Then she receive a letter from Spike, telling her about what happened earlier. “…of course not princess, her was saying-” A green flame appears in front of Celestia, and before she can read it, the Princess saw that the letter isn’t for her, it’s for her faithful student. “Twilight, this is for you; it’s saying that is very important” “¿Uh? Let me see” As she progressive reads, progressively his face turn in a surprise state with her eyes very wide open. “Princess, I must leave, we can continue this in another moment? When nothing bad happens?” The Princess just nodded; she say about a train is leaving right now to Ponyville, she said to two guards to escort Twilight to the train fast as they can. Now in Fluttershy’s house *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* “*YAWN*” Spike, wake up from the seat near Fluttershy; and then walk to the door to check who was knocking. “Hello?-oh, you must be the Doctor isn’t it?” “Yes…um, Spike Right?” “Yeah-I mean yes doctor, please go inside.” The doctor, who never has visit a kind of place, in the middle of the nature, makes he feel very strange, but that’s not the reason why he is here. “So…who is the girl that needs my help?” “Uh, ejem…is here next to you doctor, she is sleeping on the couch.” With a silly look, the doctor turn his head to see Fluttershy next to him. “Um…well, what we have here?” “Oh, doctor, be careful, she is taking a nap, I wake her up to a better check” Spike whisper at her ear, for his surprise she starts to giggle. “*Giggle* what is it Spike? Oh, I have a visitor; so you must the doctor. I’m Fluttershy, nice to meet you doctor” “Good afternoon ma'am, well, now please take sit”. The Doctor check carefully all the Fluttershy's body to find a "Pain Sign", then he starts to know how close is him, to locate the injured part that Fluttershy feels more pain, and finally find it; her right-front hoof. “Mhm, maybe would you only take a long rest. I’m going to bandage with a small cushion, to not harm you with the bandages, now stay calm.” “Okay doctor.” The doctor opens his briefcase to get the bandages, scissors, the small cushion and disinfectant; Fluttershy call Spike to help her to contain the pain while the doctor finishes the treatment. Moments later, the doctor finished the treatment, and pick up the equip he used. “Okay, you should be fine now, if you excuse me, I need to go to another house near here” Spike and Fluttershy both nodded at the same time. “Good-bye doctor!” the last words Spike can say before the doctor leaves the house. “Well, now how do you feel?” “Pretty nice Spike, and I’m going to be much better with some company; it’s too late Spike. Why you don’t stay the whole night with me?” Confused, Spike look outside through the window. In fact, the sun was just hide. Then return to look Fluttershy. “Me? Well, if is because of you, why not? And Twilight can’t return until tomorrow so…yes, I’ll take care of you Fluttershy!” Fluttershy replies with a warm and soft smile again. “Good, now I must-” Spike saw how Fluttershy try to stand up by herself; and obviously he isn’t let her do that, not with her condition. “Let me help you Fluttershy” Spike carry Fluttershy to the staircase and then, to her bedroom and leave her on the bed before leaves the room. “Well I go to sleep in the couch. Good nig-” “Wait! Why do you no sleep here? If you want” Spike, with an amazed face, can’t believe what did Fluttershy said a second ago; but thinking in the most, simple way to sleep and avoiding the whole thing happened today, he say only the fast answer. “In the floor, well, fine, I don’t care; no, really, I can sleep in things more stronger than this” “No…I mean with me in the bed, this night it seems to be cold” A small blush appears in her face with the same smile, warm and soft like always; and Spike took a blush too. Both have a blush at the same time. And then Fluttershy broke the weird silence. “I-I mean because you’re a very special kind of animal, a dragon and I would appreciate all do you have done for me before. Nothing more” “Well, we are friends after all, right?” “Yes…just friends.” Then Fluttershy make a space for him, Spike without make it a trouble, he accommodates very carefully to not touch Fluttershy’s leg. “Good, now *Yawn* I go to sleep now.” ________________________________________________________________________________ In a moment of silence, Fluttershy look to Spike and listen to his breath, slowly, melodious and warm; faster she turn to the other side of the bed and, stay, quiet, looking at the clock. The time was nine o’ clock, and then, look the window. A brightness moon was raised, full in all the sky. Then Fluttershy turn again to Spike, she didn’t realize than she was too close to him, feeling his breath, and only to awake him. “Spike…?” “Mmm…what is it Fluttershy?” “Have you seen the Full moon tonight?” “Uh…no, not really” “Well, you can see it through the window” Spike looked at the window and stay like a hypnotized pony. “Whoa… I didn’t saw this full moon yet, is Amazing!” “Oh, that’s reminding me a legend” “Huh?” “When the Great Moon, Full in the Sky, White like the Snow and Shiny like a Fine gem, in the own heart of the lucky one, start to reveal their feelings to the beloved one and show the True in front of his eyes, Words like the Sincerely True go out like the most beautiful thing, make her happy forever” “Whoa…is that true?” “I don’t know but I believe in that words I find in that stone some years ago when I was in the Everfree Forest searching food to the animals” “Fluttershy…?” Spike begins to feel a strange warm feeling, and then he got surprised when he was embraced by Fluttershy. “Fluttershy…are you *Gasp*!” Fluttershy was in an intense blush while the moon was illuminate her face; and finally fall asleep on his neck. “This can’t be…or no?” his last words before fall asleep too, with Fluttershy embrace him. ~When the Great Moon, Full in the Sky, White like the Snow and Shiny like a Fine gem, in the own heart of the lucky one, start to reveal their feelings to the beloved one and show the True in front of his eyes, Words like the Sincerely True go out like the most beautiful thing, make her happy forever~
