Death runner and flutter shy made it back to her shelter near a forest. There were animals all over the area, every step has to be carefully placed or you may accidentally step on something. The animals were random too, as he hadn't seen half of them.
"Hello angel, how are you" fluttershy spoke, questioning a rabbit. Compared to fluttershy, the rabbit was large. Angel bunny noticed death runner and they had a starring contest. The two starred at each other with such an intensity that if you were to step into their line of vision you would melt. "Come angel you must be hungry. Follow me death runner" fluttershy snapped them out of their trance as he followed her inside.
After feeding angel fluttershy showed death runner to an elevated flat space (a bed). "Here is when you can stay for the night. Death runner do you have any other names, it's just that that name…um... It s-sound bad" death runner now just realized a large deadly looking creature with the name death runner may scare a group of small herbivores. "My other name given to me was kordijak, you can use that if you prefer." (Kordijak: pronounced koi-r-Dee-ja-k) fluttershy nodded. "Okay I will, kordijak. I will wake you in the morning." Kordijak (death runner, will switch between the names occasionally) sat on his sleeping space and looked out of the window. The full moon was larger than it had ever been on his planet. He walked out of the cottage and sat on the grass. Before slumber he gave one deep howl to the moon and the night.
As kordijak was walking inside he saw fluttershy nervously shaking on a couch. "What is wrong fluttershy" fluttershy jumped and hid behind angel bunny (A for effort) and looked at kordijak with fear. "t-the timber w-wolves are here k-kordijak" he looked at her and sighed "that was me howling, I apologize if I scared you. I can stay with you if you are still scared if you like." She gave a nod and wimpered. "Great, terrorizing the one I'm trying to befriend" kordijak said to himself as he laid down on the floor next to her. They laid down on the floor together, death runner protecting his friend from harm.
Kordijak got up with fluttershy laying near him. He didn't want to wake her and he also wanted to repay her. More sleep and breakfast is the perfect combo. So he got to work. With some assistance from angel, he made her some breakfast foods like toast, a plant based bacon and orange juice.
He let her sleep for an hour more than she normally does. "Fluttershy, time to get up" kordijak said as quietly as possible. She got up and noticed the time. "Oh gosh, kordijak I'm late, I have to feed the animals and…" kordijak silenced her. "Already done, just eat" fluttershy looked out the window to see that the animals were indeed fed. She began to eat the meal kordijak had prepared for her.
"Thank you kordijak, you didn't have to do that" kordijak beamed. "we're friends fluttershy, and friends help other friends out" fluttershy hugged kordijak lightly. "Thank you... friend"
Fluttershy and kordijak went off to the local spa, because fluttershy asked. Inside, they found rarity. Fluttershy and rarity went to do whatever women do in spas, kordijak didn't know, he was a wolf until a day ago. He found spike and approached him. Spike was with twilight and the pink one. "I
Have a crush on rarity!" Spike said, unaware of kordijak sneaking in behind them "what is this crush you speak of?" Kordijak asked, startling the small dragon.
"A crush is a liking on someone" twilight responded. Kordijak patted spike on the back. "Even though I did not hear the full conversation, good luck with your mating attempts with rarity" kordijak said, causing the ponies and spike to blush.
They all stood there quietly for a few seconds before spike broke the silence. "Thanks... I guess?" Kordijak gave a nod. "If you need helps with seducing your mate or telling her I will be there for you." Everything got quiet for a while. Spike blushed even harder. "Don't feel ashamed spike, what you are feeling is just emotions. As a leader and a father I can help you" spike gave a small smile, feeling awkward still "t-thanks. I appreciate that"
Rarity and fluttershy went off to rarity's shop. It was a boutique, and kordijak did not understand them. Females here care for fashion while female wolves obsess over killing ability. How civilization exists and how Timberwolves haven't killed them all he didn't know. He knew nothing of these horses and their ways.
"Spike, you are a male. To impress the female, become an alpha. Punch me" spike looked confused but did as he was told. The little dragon punched moderately hard, with enough force to nearly make kordijak stumble. "Good, now kindness is another way to help win over females. Cook for me"
Spike made a dish a whole pack could feed on. "Damn, young one. You have power and can cook, females must love you, mainly your female rarity" spike nervously smiled. "Do you think so?" Kordijak smiled as well. "Yes, I believe it. You will win over her eventually young dragon"
Soon after the conversation a blue horse with a pale mane and tail walked in with device. The device popped into a long cylinder and had a click along with a flash of light. This continued as fluttershy posed and rarity was spazing from the packround.
Very soon after the pony leaved after a conversation kordijak ignored. When she left rarity was squealing with delight. Whatever the mare said, it must have been important. In rarity's happiness she jumped up and down repeatedly, on spikes tail. Twilight pulled him back before she could destroy his tail beyond repair.
Fluttersht and rarity continued to go and meet with photo finish, leaving spike and kordijak to dragon time. "So spike, how old are you anyway?" Spike, responded full of pride "I, spike the dragon am 10 years old" kordijak nodded. "Really, so how old is everyone else?" Spike thought for a moment. "I don't know everyone's age, but they are between 16 to 18 years old". Kordijak did a grunt of acceptance. "So I'm the oldest being 19, that's something"
Due to the photo shoots, fluttershy had been getting extremely popular. While he stayed at her cottage, everywhere she went ponies photographs were put on everything, you couldn't avoid the adorableness.
This continued for quite some time, with rarity getting more and more upset while spike, kordijak, twilight and pinkie pie had to calm her down.
The four (pinkie pie, twilight, kordijak rarity) were in the spa. Kordijak went for the warm water which he was submerging in. Fluttershy burst in and began ranting about her being upset. She gave a fierce battle cry that was just above 5 decibels of volume. Twilight and fluttershy talked about her next show. Or so he thought, kordijak was submerging 99% of his body in water.
Kordijak and twilight went to the show to see fluttershy. The show was going well or at least it seemed. That was until fluttershy went south. Fluttershy began to become the embodiment of foul entertainm3nt and fashion. Koedijak was too embarrassed to watch. "By the gods, what did I watch?"
Even with the show made of poor quality and pitiful attempts, fluttershy got even more popular through it somehow. On his planet, failure wasn't rewarded.
Rarity was the most depressed he had seen her all week. She moped constantly. Fluttershy entered and told rarity how she didn't want the fame and popularity that she had received. The two happily talked and that meant spa (in the language of women)
"Hello water, we meet again" kordijak crawled into the warm blue liquid. The females talked yet again about what the learned a whatnot. Kordijak learned 2 things for this princess to know. 1) Water is everyone's friend. 2) You cannot understand women under any occasion.
Spike being the charmer he is was fanning rarity while she was in a sauna. Maybe if spike would listen to kordijak, we would achieve his goal. Dream on dragon child, dream on.
Kordijak followed fluttershy back to her cottage. "So, what was the whole fame fiasco anyway? Fluttershy kept the same calm composure, even though it upset her. "Kordijak, I ended up taking my friends dream and getting something I didn't want from it" kordijak understood. "Ah, I see. Do not worry, I will help you if you ever need it." Fluttershy smiled slightly. "Thank you"
Fluttershy's fame eventually died out and rarity's business kicked back up. During this kordijak got closer to fluttershy ever so slowly. "In time, a brief friendship may regrow. This world may hold something time and life has taken from me, a good and close friendship." Kordijak watched the stars gleam, seeming to welcome him. "Friends. Let's see if a predator can befriend the prey, a wolf and a small herbivore like with mutual benefits. Let me, let us be friends."
