Season 3: Love Season
Episode 6 (36): Beauty in Nature (Fluttershy x Henry)
Last time we looked at what Edward and Twilight Sparkle were up to one their first day, next up….
So the group walked off in different directions while the Mane 7 walk with their respective boyfriends. Henry was hanging around Fluttershy around the park, enjoying the scenery and playing with the local animals. The Sun shone brightly against the two.
Henry: Ah, nature is such a beautiful thing to kick back and relax.
Fluttershy: You're right about that Henry, nature sure is a wonderful thing. I'm glad that the two of us agree on one common thing: that we both love nature.
Henry: You're right about that. The birds, squirrels and even the frogs are such good friends, since I shared that animal communication from you, I have the same power as you.
Fluttershy: Well, I'm glad you liked it. Well, I was hoping the two of us do a couple of things before we do a forest trek at the back of the school.
Henry: Well, what sort of things.
Fluttershy: Well, I was hoping you can help me out with some of the girl's pets since they're on their little dates. Then, we got some pets to take care of at the animal shelter. After that, is our forest trek.
Henry: Actually, I think that is a good idea.
Fluttershy: Thanks for agreeing with me Henry, I knew I can count on you. (Kisses his cheek)
Henry: Aww, you're such a sweetheart.
Fluttershy: I know, let's get going Henry, first up Winona at Applejack's farm.
Henry: Okay then, but, how are we going to get there?
Fluttershy: I got myself a car way before you guys got here, so I think we can go from there.
Henry: Wow, didn't know that, but hey, at least that's one set of wheels we can go on besides taking the bus.
Fluttershy: Well, you're certainly right about that Henry, let's not keep Winona waiting. Let's head to the farm.
Henry: Lead the way m'lady.
Fluttershy: (Giggles)
So they got in Fluttershy's car and drove off to Applejack's farm. As they drove towards the farm, Fluttershy wants to talk to Henry about his forest.
Fluttershy: So, I remember you told me that you have a forest of your own right.
Henry: Yeah, I do. It was a special place for me that I cherish for so many years. I love the forest and all its animals that live in it.
Fluttershy: That sounds like your forest really means a lot to you. I would love to see that forest when I get the chance.
Henry: Maybe you will, when all of my friends want to show you around Sodor.
Fluttershy: That would be lovely Henry.
As they were driving, Fluttershy was making quick glances at Henry on how sweet he is to her, she was thinking of giving Henry, when the time is right, a kiss on the lips. During the drive, they arrive at the farm. They got out and walked to Applejack's house, and they see Granny Smith, Big Mac and the CMC.
Granny Smith: Hello Fluttershy and Henry, what brings you two here to our neck of the woods.
Fluttershy: Hello, Ms. Smith, me and Henry to check on Winona. Also, if you don't mind me asking, where are Applejack and Toby?
Scootaloo: Those two left a while ago because it was Applejack's birthday a couple of hours ago. And let me tell you, those two are a match made in heaven.
Fluttershy: Oh, that's nice. I think some of my friends along with their boyfriends wished Applejack a happy birthday if I recall.
Granny Smith: That's very nice of you dear. Now where is that Winona?
Big Macintosh: Right here.
Big Mac came in with Winona in his hands.
Fluttershy: Hi there sweetie, how you've been.
Winona tells her that Granny and Big Mac have been washing her and the CMCs have been feeding and playing with her out in the fields.
Fluttershy: Oh, now that's real nice of them, I'm glad you're doing okay since the two are off on their date. Make sure she gets all the attention she needs.
Scootaloo, Apple Bloom & Sweetie Belle: We will! We will! We will!
Henry: Well, we'll see you guys later. So where to next, Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: We head to Rarity's boutique to check on Opalescence, Opal for short.
Henry: Well then, let's make haste and not be late.
Big Macintosh: Spoken like a true gentleman.
Henry: What can I say Big Mac, I just know how to work well with others.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) Oh, you're sweet.
Granny Smith: Henry dear, I think you and Fluttershy will make an excellent couple in the near future.
Henry: Thanks Granny, it means a lot.
So the two of them walked back to the car and drove off from the farm on their way to Rarity's boutique. When they arrive, they see Daisy, Toad and Duke inside taking care of things while James and Rarity are enjoying their date.
Daisy: Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise, what brings you nature lovers to this fine establishment.
Fluttershy: Good morning Daisy, me and Henry are hear checking out the girl's pets to see how they're doing while they're on their dates.
Duke: That is mighty kind of you to take care of Rarity's cat, Opal. Now where is that cat?
Toad: Right here Mr. Duke.
He had Opal in his arms as she was purring from his comfort. Opal looked at Fluttershy and meowed at her.
Fluttershy: Hello sweetie, how are you doing while Rarity is off with James on their date.
Opal tells her that Daisy has been keeping her fur nicely brushed and cleaned. Toad has been playing with her and keeping her company while in the boutique.
Fluttershy: Well, I'm happy that they're keeping you nice and healthy Opalescence, I think they're real nice.
Duke: You're right about that Ms. Fluttershy, Opalescence is a truly beautiful cat to have around here.
Henry: Well, I'm happy you guys are taking care of Opalescence. So Fluttershy, where to next.
Fluttershy: Well, Twilight already is taken care of Spike since does too are inseparable, the next one up is Tank.
Henry: That's Rainbow Dash's tortoise if I remember correctly right.
Fluttershy: You got it right Henry. We'll see you guys later, see ya Opalescence.
Toad & Duke: See ya two later! See ya two later!
So the two went back in the car and drive to Rainbow Dash's house to see Tank. When they got out, they see Tank accompanied with Caitlin and Connor.
Henry: Hello you two, I see that you are taking care of Tank while Rainbow is dating Gordon.
Connor: You got that right Henry, and Tank here is a really sweet turtle.
Lightning Dust: Hello Fluttershy.
They turn to see Lightning Dust right behind them.
Fluttershy: Hello Lightning Dust, what brings you around here?
Lightning Dust: Well, since Rainbow Dash and Gordon are off on their date, she told me along with Caitlin and Connor to help watch the house and take care of Tank.
Fluttershy: Oh, I see. Well, that's very nice of you to do that. So where is Tank?
Caitlin: Right here Fluttershy, with us.
Fluttershy: Hi sweetie, how're they treating you.
Tank tells Fluttershy that they were taking good care of him, giving him a bath, food and water. But was wanting to go outside.
Fluttershy: Oh, I see. Well, I'll let them know. Tank appreciates you guys taking care of him, but he wants to go outside to get some fresh air.
Connor: What the, how did….
Caitlin: She can talk to animals, because she had a geode capable of doing that, see it on her neck.
Connor: Oh, I see, now I understand.
Fluttershy: We would love to stay and chat, but me and Henry got one more stop before we head to the animal shelter.
Henry: And what's that Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: Sunset Shimmer's house, she has her gecko Ray remember.
Henry: Oh, I get ya. Well, we can't keep Ray waiting.
Fluttershy: We most certainly can't, we'll see you guys later and make sure that Tank gets fresh air outside.
Lightning Dust: We'll do that, see ya later you guys.
So the two of them walked back to their car and drove off to Sunset's to see Ray, when they got there, they saw Starlight, Emily, Nia and Rebecca hanging around the living room with Ray in Starlight's hands.
Fluttershy: Oh, hello everyone. I see you girls were having fun.
Rebecca: We most certainly are Fluttershy, our girls' night is definitely a blast. This is the most fun I've had since ever.
Henry: I can certainly tell, so where's Ray?
Starlight Glimmer: Right here you guys, he's been happy for some time, but now he's feeling miserable.
Fluttershy: Oh dear, when did this happen?
Nia: Just a couple of seconds ago, I think he misses Sunset.
Fluttershy: Oh dear, let me see if I can cheer him up.
Emily: Do you think you can cheer him up?
Fluttershy: I think I can help him out. Can I hold him?
Starlight Glimmer: Sure.
Fluttershy: Hello sweetie, I know you're missing Sunset and I'm sure she misses you as well. But don't worry, I'm sure she'll come back when she finishes her date with Thomas. And I think you'll be really excited when she comes back, won't you Ray.
Hearing Fluttershy's words of encouragement sparked something in him, that made him jump up and down while spinning around. Starlight and Fluttershy giggled at Ray's energy.
Fluttershy: Now then, he's all better and full of energy.
Starlight Glimmer: Thanks for getting him back to his original self.
Emily: You really are a natural when it comes to animals.
Fluttershy: I know, it's just who I am.
Henry: So, where to next?
Fluttershy: We go to the animal shelter, we got to take care of the animals that live there, and hopefully find some new homes for these little guys.
Starlight Glimmer: You must be one busy bee to work at the animal shelter.
Henry: Well, I also helped her out when she needs it. So she's not completely alone.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) Oh Henry, you're so sweet. (Kisses his cheek)
Rebecca: (Squeals) These two are perfect for each other.
Nia: You know it.
Fluttershy: Come on Henry, let's get to the animal shelter. I'm sure the rest of the animals will love to see us.
Henry: Well, let's not keep them waiting.
So they went back to the car and drive all the way to Canterlot Mall. They got out and head to the animal shelter. They soon got to work, cleaning and washing some of the dogs and cats, even though they love Henry but he doesn't mind. Then, the dog suddenly shook all the water off of him and it sprayed him. Fluttershy also saw this and giggled at Henry.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) I'm sure that dog wants his bath to be finished in an instant. (Chuckles)
Henry: Oh boy, but it's better than being sprayed by an elephant.
Fluttershy: Oh, I remember you telling me that during our camping trip, I'm sure that the elephant didn't mean any harm in spraying you, it was just startled by you spewing steam.
Henry: Well, I'm sure it was just doing it by instinct. But still, that surprised me to say the least.
Fluttershy: Still, it was a little funny. Almost as funny as you getting sprayed by that dog you have over there.
Henry: Well, I'm almost gonna smell like wet dog for a while.
Fluttershy: Get yourself dried off Henry, I'll handle that guy that sprayed you.
Henry: Most certainly, Fluttershy.
So Henry went back to dry himself, while Fluttershy tends to the dog that sprayed Henry. When Henry came back, he was all dried. Fluttershy managed to get the dogs all cleaned.
Henry: Man, you make this whole thing seem easy.
Fluttershy: Well, it's a knack I possess when it comes to animals.
Henry: Well that makes you special, just like me and everyone else.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) Aww, thanks Henry, you're so sweet. And there's another thing on why I like about you.
Henry: What's that Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: You're just like everyone that shows the same amount of kindness, whether it be my friends, yours or everyone. You carry that same kindness with you everywhere we go, and that just touches my heart so much. I really loved every bit of it, just like how I love you.
Henry: I don't have it any other way.
They approach each other and hugged it out as they stay that way for a while.
Fluttershy: I enjoy having you around me Henry, I just love your company.
Henry: And I too enjoy having you around me Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Hey Henry, can I ask you something?
Henry: What's that?
Fluttershy: There's a special spot in a forest around the back of the school that I think the two of us will absolutely love.
Henry: Well, if it was like Henry's forest, then I would totally like to come.
Fluttershy: Thank you Henry. Well, I think we should head over before it gets dark, it gets beautiful around sunset.
Henry: Well then, let's get going.
So they got to the car and raced off to the forest, hoping to get there before it gets dark. While they were driving, Henry look at the beautiful landscape that the forest provides, while Fluttershy looks at him with happiness. Soon enough, they arrive at the forest.
Henry: My, it sure is different from my forest back at Sodor, and a little bit darker.
Fluttershy: Well, you're right about that, it may be dark and intimidating but inside, they conceal a thing of beauty. So right now, it's almost sunset, so we should head inside before it gets dark. You'll be okay going in the forest right Henry?
Henry: Uhh, I guess so. So, should we head inside?
Fluttershy: Yep, just need to get a few things from my trunk and we'll be good to go. You're okay to head over there, there should be a trail when you go into the forest, follow that trail and it should take you to that spot I was telling you.
Henry: Umm, are you sure about that?
Fluttershy: Don't worry about me Henry, I can handle myself. And if there were any animals I encounter, I can simply swing them with my charm. Remember, I can talk to animals.
Henry: Right, you keep reminding me. Okay, I'll see you at the spot.
So Henry walked off to the trail of the special spot Fluttershy told him about. Meanwhile, she opened the trunk of her car and was carrying a picnic basket and inside was the picnic food, a special present for Henry and Angel. He popped out of the basket and looked at Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Hiya Angel, I'm glad you got to come along for this special occasion. And I'm sure Henry is going to love seeing you again.
Angel chirped of the fact that he gets to see Henry again. After she got everything she needs, she closed the trunk of the car, locked it with her keys and starts walking towards the trail of the forest. The sky is almost reaching sunset, and the forest is starting to turn dark. Fluttershy was treading lightly through the dark forest with a flashlight in hand. Everything around her was very eerie and creepy, but she pressed on. She heard owls hooting, frogs croaking, crickets chirping and the wind blows against the low-hanging branches that creates a scratching sound.
Fluttershy: Okay Fluttershy, calm yourself, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just think of it as just a regular forest that you always explore to in search of cute, fuzzy little animals that you will love to cuddle and snuggle with. (Gulps) Henry, are you there? Oh dear, I hope he isn't lost.
While she was trying to find Henry, he managed to find the spot that Fluttershy was talking about. It was a big pond and around the edges was a field of dandelions, daisies and tulips, the trees were all around the spot.
Henry: Wow, so this is the spot that Fluttershy was talking about. I gotta say, this is very beautiful. Hopefully Fluttershy gets here soon, it's almost dark, hopefully she isn't lost.
Henry waited for Fluttershy patiently, meanwhile, Fluttershy was still following the trail but still putting on a brave face through the trek. As she was trekking down the trail, when some low-hanging branches snag parts of her hair.
Fluttershy: Oop, oh no, seems as though my hair's stuck. Okay, Henry isn't here to help me, so it seems as though I need to get it free myself.
So she reached for the branch that has been caught in her hair and tried to free it. Angel popped his head out of the basket to assess the situation. He guided her to wear her hands are, so that way she can get the branches out of her hair. Within a couple of minutes, she managed to fix her hair and went on her way. Though left behind were a few strands of hair.
Fluttershy: Phew, now that that's taken care of, it's time to head over to Henry.
So she raced off to find Henry, meanwhile, Henry was napping against the log while the birds and wood creatures do their thing. The birds tweeted to each other, crickets chirping, frogs croaking, rabbits feeding, squirrels chittering and fish swimming in the pond. After some time, it was night and Fluttershy managed to find Henry sleeping with the birds and other animals right near him. She used her geode to tell the animals to remain where they are so that she can take some pictures on her phone and they agreed. Using the flash, the animals are there doing some funny, amazing and cool poses all over the pictures. Every picture made Fluttershy giggle and even Angel got in on the action. After the pictures, the Moon's light shined on the spot where they are. Then, just like magic, fireflies pop out and started glowing. After a while, Henry woke up and saw Fluttershy looking down on him.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) Morning Sleeping Beauty, well it's night right now, but you know what I mean.
Henry: (Yawns) Hey Fluttershy, I was waiting for you and then, I started taking a nap while you were coming.
Fluttershy: Sorry that it took a while, I've never really like the forest when it's dark on the inside and I also had a branch snag my hair when I was trying to get over there, but it's all good now. Also, someone here wants to say hi to you.
Henry: Oh, it's alright Fluttershy, no harm done. And you said you brought someone, who?
Popping out of the basket was Angel, who leapt out of the basket and into Henry's arm.
Henry: (Chuckles) Hi there Angel, it's been awhile, wow this must be a surprise.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) Angel insisted that he wants to come along on the trip and I'm sure he misses you. But this basket I have right here is our picnic for the evening, I hope you like what I packed.
Henry: I'll try anything that I like.
So the two of them get their nighttime picnic set up, they splayed the blanket, got the food out and drinks. The fireflies and moonlight have provided the two the light they need for their picnic.
Henry: This picnic sure is special, thank you for putting this together for the two of us.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) It's no problem Henry, and this day has really been one special day indeed. I loved every bit of today and I especially love having you around me Henry. In fact, I think I have something in my other bag that I think you're going to love.
Henry: What's that?
She pulled out a leaf and flower headband that was in her bag and placed it on his head. When he saw his gift, he gave Fluttershy a hug.
Henry: (Blushes) Aww, thanks Fluttershy, you're the best.
Fluttershy: You're welcome Henry.
The two looked at each other and they stared at each other. They soon leaned and did their first kiss on the lips. As an added bonus, the fireflies made a heart shape as they fly. Angel along with some other rabbits and squirrels aimed Fluttershy's phone and they snapped a picture of the two. The two look out and saw the fireflies, rabbits, squirrels and Angel in front of them trying to help make the moment special. The two giggled knowing they were just trying to help. After their first kiss, they continue eating their picnic meal and are having an amazing good time together. After their picnic, they packed up the blanket and other essentials and headed down the path, which is a shortcut. While they were passing by, Fluttershy stops him for a particular reason.
Henry: What's wrong Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Umm, don't want to alarm you Henry, but this very spot around this stretch of forest has held one of our most traumatic moments we've ever had.
Henry: What's that.
Fluttershy: This spot we're standing in is where Thomas had his meltdown over the fact that Edward suggested for him to fight his demon brother, Timothy.
Henry: Really!
Fluttershy: Yes, really, me and some of my friends, especially Sunset and Rarity had to comfort him after this. We all felt really bad for him that one time. But after we defeated his evil brother, life suddenly returned to normal.
Henry: Oh my, I never knew that happened while we were stuck in the library.
Fluttershy: I agree, I've never seen Thomas this upset in my entire lifetime, but everything seems to be okay. So, shall we head back to my house.
Henry: Yes, we shall.
So the two of them continue their trek until they're back at town, happy that their date has gone splendidly. Let's see how our next couple fairs next time….
