Finally, back to this story! Sorry if any of you felt this chapter very short.
"...Well holy shit, that's the biggest smoke cloud I have ever seen in my life." Nathan commented as he stares out the window, seeing the giant snore smoke that was in the sky.
Its been two weeks since the incident with the Ursa Minor and everyone went on their normal every day. As for Trixie, she was in Canterlot, shopping for her magic acts and a carriage. The sky blue unicorn was now training with Twilight, much to the Celestia student's surprise. Of course, she gladly accepted the request since she'll have another girl to study magic with. She was beaming with joy when she said that...she looked so adorable at that moment.
Even so, Trixie was still a brag out, saying that her magic will be the best in history, and her relationships with others are...well, could be improving. She was on good terms with Nate, Twilight, Pinkie, and Spike, the others…are slowly gaining trust, so to say.
Suddenly, a knock on the door made him realize that is time, "Better get prepared." It is not every day you see a dragon up close.
(Moments later)
Nathan found himself with the girls and Spike on Twilight's Library Tree. Discussing the sudden black cloud covering their town.
"Wha' in the' name of' all things cinnamon-swirled is a full-grown dragon doing here in Equestria?" Applejack asked.
"Sleeping," was Twilight's simple answer, much to the confusion from everyone present, except the maniac. "According to the Princess, is taking a nap, those smokes are his snoring."
"Smoking in his sleep? That's not good for his health." Pinkie said with a thoughtful expression.
"Let's just be glad he's not snoring fire," said Rarity while swaying her hair around before asking Twilight, "What are we meant to do about it?"
Before she could answer, the flying stud spoke up, "That's easy; we give him the boot out of our town!" Rainbow then proceed to punch and kick in the air, "Take this! And that!" she then proceeded to try to tackle a bust, but Twilight uses her magic to move it away, making Dash slam against the bookshelf.
"Great idea Dashie! Let's go all the way there and punch his nose hard, I'm sure he will just leave and will NOT try to eat or killed us because we might make him angry." Nate said with a sarcastic smile, which made the girl shiver in fear.
"Nathan is right, what we need to do is encourage him to take a nap somewhere else," Twilight said, "Princess Celestia has given us this mission and we must not fail, if so, Equestria will be covered in smoke for the next hundred years."
All the girls were thinking about, but Nate spoke his thoughts, "Wait just a minute," he said catching the girls' attention, "So let me get this straight…Princess Celestia, our all-powerful ruler that banished several threats from Equestria, just gave us the order, not asked order, to risk our lives to asked a gigantic, possibly bloodthirsty, dragon that could eat all of us in second, to find someplace else to sleep." his words made the girls gulp in fear as Twilight nods. "...That's the best birthday present I could have ever asked for! And is not even my birthday!"
"...How can you say something scary one moment, and be glad about it next?" Twilight asked with a droplet.
"Is my charm and you all love it." He responds.
"True that!" Pinkie said with her Pinkie smile, while the others blush a little.
"R-Right." Twilight sigh, "Either way, I want you all to gather supplies quickly, our journey is long for us; we must depart in less than an hour." She said.
"You hear her girls! The fate of Equestria is in ('Because Celestia is busy eating her cakes to make her ass fatter than ever') our hands! Do you all have what it takes?!" Nathan asked them with a raised fist.
"Yeah!" All except Fluttershy agreed.
"Are you ready to search for a Dragon!?"
"Yeah!"
"Ready to lose an arm?!"
"Ye…"
"Ready to become a human BBQ?!"
"..."
"Ready to-"
"We get it!" All the girls yelled at him, shrinking him away with sweat dripping.
After preparing themselves, they all stood on the road that leads to the mountain where the Dragon was sleeping. At the very top of it, they could hear the loud the snores coming from atop became. The snores were so loud, they made the earth around them tremble.
"Whoa, and Ah thought Big Mac's snoring' was a waker-upper!" Applejack commented as she covers her ears.
"I-Is so high~" Fluttershy squealed in fear.
"Well, it is a mountain," Rainbow said with a tone meant for the phrase 'duh' as she summons her wings. "I'm gonna fly up and check it out." She was about to take off when Nathan grab her tail.
"Hold it there, Skittles." he brought her down, "I know you're excited to be the first one to become human meat. But, is best if the entire banquet is served together." He said.
"Oh! Are we going to a party?!" Pinkie asked in excitement. "Because I brought party hats for everyone to enjoy!" She shows them the hats.
"...Dammit Pinkie, not everything is a party!" Nate said to her before looking at RD, "Anyway, it is best to be in a group."
"Fine." Rainbow pouted as she drops down.
Soon enough, they all began to climb the rocky mountain, with the fashionista talking about the dragon, "I heard once that the only thing that sparkles more than a dragon's scales are the jewels they use to build their nests! Ooh, if I play my cards right, I might convince him to part with a few!"
"Oh! You mean like, 'Welcome to my cave, Rarity'!" Pinkie said in a growly voice. "'Dare for a diamond?' Rargh!"
"More like 'Hello fair maiden, I have heard of your quest here. May I welcome you with this fine exquisite ruby? Is of high quality." Nate said with his growly voice. That made everyone laugh at the small joke, except for Twilight.
"You guys! This is no laughing matter!" She said to them.
"Better to be in high spirits than uptight like you," Nathan said, earning a glare from the purple-haired. "Also, can someone please tell Shy that she needs to take a deep breath." All the girls stop climbing and look back to see Fluttershy hiding and quivering on a bush.
"Hey!" Rainbow call to her, "What are you waiting for? An invitation?"
"Ooh! I think I have one in my bag," Pinkie said, an explosion of confetti bursting out of her bag.
"It's- It's so…Steep," Fluttershy shivered.
"It is a cliff!" Rainbow sighed wearily. "You could just, I dunno…fly up here?"
"RD, you are being too harsh, you know she gets scared very easily," Nathan said to the rainbow-haired, who scoff him away.
Pinkie tried to encourage her. "Come on, you can do it. Just flap those wings!"
Fluttershy came out from behind the bush. "Oh…ok." She closes her eyes and started to fly up. She smiles as she looked up when she accomplished this. But then, the dragon lets out another loud snore and a puff of smoke. Fluttershy's confident look turned to horror, her wings quickly folded back up and she fell into the bush. Making Rainbow facepalm and grunted.
After the fall, Fluttershy struggled to get her wings back out, but they wouldn't budge. It is like they had a mind of their own!
Twilight was starting to seem annoyed too. "Ugh, we don't have time for this."
"No worries." Nathan jumps back down next to the animal caretaker. He kneeled and gave her his back, "Here Shy, I'll carry you."
The light-pink haired blush at his offer, but seeing that she didn't have much of a choice. She quickly climbs on his back with a tomato face as Nate's hands held her tight. Good thing as the Dragon's snore again, this time making Fluttershy squealed and pass out while holding on to the maniac.
But there was one problem he didn't consider. "She's…holding too tight!" Nate gasp. Despite her fear, she has a strong grip.
"Come on! Let's hurry up!" Rainbow said as they began to climb.
…
..
.
The group slowly made its way to the top. It had only been an hour since they began scaling. Soon afterward, they reach a small gap on the mountain, the one where Fluttershy refuses to jump after she looks down. Nate chuckled, remembering that the girls were there for 30 minutes trying to move her in the show. They took a rest on a flat surface on the other side.
Fluttershy finally came back from her unfreeze prison, "Finally woken up?" she heard Nathan said as he drops her down. "You were out for a while Shy. I think your hold mark me." He said as he caressed his neck.
"S-Sorry." She apologized to him.
He sits down next to her and pats her head, "Don't worry about it...I know you're scared." He said before taking out from his lunch, a teriyaki sandwich. With meat, that is. ('Don't think. Accept.')
"How long until we get to the top, Twilight?" Rarity asked the pupil of Celestia as she checks her map.
"Just a few ways up, according to the map. We will be entering an avalanche zone, we better don't make a sound." Twilight said while putting away the map.
"Avalanche?!" Fluttershy squealed before been stuff some cupcakes on her mouth, thanks, Pinkie!"
"No Problem-O!"
With that, everyone began to make their way to the avalanche zone, a long way up with the rocks ready to slide and crush them down. Everything was going so well, but we know very well it won't be as Rainbow's wings slightly brush against a branch, causing a leaf to slowly make his way down, right on top of Fluttershy's shoulder.
"AVA-" Fluttershy was about to scream but Nate's reflexes shut her mouth quicker than the girls could even hear it. He let a none-sound breath out from his lips (No idea how's that possible) and continue their way up to the top. He was still closing Shy's mouth and was using ng his other hand to hold hers in comfort, which made her blush a little at the contact of skin.
After a long walk through the rocky mountains which was going to make an avalanche, they managed to reach the top of the mountain. They could see the smoke coming out from inside the cave.
"Alright everyone, we're finally here, the Dragon's Den." Twilight said before looking at the high-flyer, "Rainbow Dash, use your wings to flap the smoke away from the sky." Rainbow salute and took off to the sky. "Pinkie, Rarity, you both get ready for the distraction." The fashionista nod while the party thrower had a chicken toy in hand. "Applejack, Nate, you both prepared for ammunition in case of emergency." Applejack threw an apple at shotgun speed to a tree while Nate brought his MoB out. "...I'm not even going to ask what is that. But I don't think will need it since Fluttershy will do her talent and with me, the dragon will understand why he must leave." Twilight finish explaining, with the animal taker trembling in fear. "Everyone ready?" Nod. "Good, then let's go Fluttershy."
Twilight began to walk to the entrance of the cave until she notices that the girl hasn't moved one bit. "Aw, come on! Not now!" She quickly went behind her and tried to push her forward, it was like trying to move a wall of cement.
Nate simply stared at all the girls pushing Fluttershy from the back as he was drinking a can of juice called 'Wumpa Drink', tastes like apples by the way.
After a few seconds, Fluttershy spoke up, "I...I can't…" her words made everyone, except Nate, anime-fall and stop moving her.
"Great, now she's scared of caves!" Rainbow said in annoyance, only for an 'X' mark appeared in her mouth.
"Errrr! Strike One!" Nate said while sitting on a rock. The Mane 6 stare at him, "Is not the cave that scared her."
"What?" They all stare back at the shy girl, with AJ asking the million-dollar question, "Then, what The' hay are you scared off?"
Fluttershy looks down in shame, "I'm scared of…" she said with her low voice.
"What's that Sugarcube?" AJ asked, not hearing the last part.
"I'm scared of..."
"What was that?" Twilight asked as she got closer.
"I'm scared of…Dragons." Fluttershy finally said, just in time for the Dragon to snore one more time, scaring her as she hides behind AJ.
"What?" Twilight was shocked by the news, "But Fluttershy-
"Yes, she has a wonderful talent dealing with all kinds of animals," Nate said with a roll from his eyes. "But they aren't Dragon's, which by the way; I don't think Dragon's lands in the animal category."
"But she took-" Rainbow spoke up only for Nathan to interrupt her.
"Just because she walks up to a possible poisonous Manticore with no problem doesn't mean that is the same with a Dragon."
"What about-" Pinkie was interrupted this time.
"Spike is a baby dragon. Not a grown-up huge ass dragon of the size of a mountain that can burn down an entire village with flames of hell themselves, split oceans with a swing of his tail, crush solid boulders and other things with his claws, and eat millions of people in a single gulp. That's the difference, Pinkie." Nate said with a deadpan expression.
"...How did-" Twilight was about to ask.
"Hunch." The maniac responds, "And I learn from the best." he points at Pinkie, who for some reason had a beard on her face.
"You have finally learned de wae, young one. I'm proud of you." She said in an old rag voice, in which Nate bow to her.
"...Okay, randomness aside," Twilight turn to the animal take care, "Fluttershy, why didn't you say anything before?"
"I was afraid to." Shy said, making Rainbow to facepalm. She then felt the farmers hand on her shoulders.
"All of us are scared of that dragon-"
"Not me!"
"...Almost all of us are scared." AJ said with a twitching eyebrow. "But between all of us, you're the one who can talk to a creature! So, get in there with Twilight and show her what you're made of!"
('6/10 for trying to cheer her up.') Nate thought as he saw Shy walking away from them.
"I...I'm sorry...I just can't…" was the last thing she said before turning around and walking away.
"Oh, Fluttershy..." Twilight sighed as they all watched her leave, they suddenly saw the maniac walking forward. "Nate?"
"I'll talk to her. Even though she scared, AJ is right; she's the only one who can do something," he said as he went after the Element of Kindness.
…
..
.
('HOLY SHIT!') Nate thought as he finally reaches Fluttershy, ('She can walk a lot! Is she on the track team or something?!') "Shy! Wait!"
Hearing her name, Fluttershy stopped walked and turned to him. "Nathan?"
"You are faster than you look if you're already this far down; are you on the track team or something?" He asked with heavy breaths. It would take a couple of runs to get back up. "Are you alright, besides being scared of that big, bad dragon and all."
"...I'm...I'm so ashamed," Fluttershy said in sadness.
"Of what? Been scared of a dragon?" Nathan blew a raspberry out, "Who wouldn't?"
"But...They needed my help...but I can't even walk to the cave." She said, with tears threading to drop out.
"Like if anyone has enough courage to enter a cave with a bloodthirsty dragon," Nate commented. "Even I'm scared to enter inside there."
At his words, Fluttershy turns to him with surprised eyes, "Y-You're…scared too?" She asked.
"What? You think is easy to just enter there? No, no, no. That's scary~!" Nathan said while holding his sides and shaking.
"B-But you...face against Nightmare Moon and a Minor Bear without a hitch." She said, still shocked at his words.
"Don't compare my Craziness with Courage, Shy." Nathan points out.
"But...you still did it."
"...Good point." Nate was stump as he looks for an answer better than that. ('Come on…there has to be ...That's it!') he snaps his fingers as he remembers a way to help her. "Shy, tell me; what is courage?"
"Huh? Well...um...it's facing something...bravely?" The yellow girl replied, clearly uncertain with her answer.
"Close, but no," Nathan said. "You see, Shy, true courage isn't about facing and overcoming; there's way more to it than that."
"There is?" She asked.
"Yes, many think that bravery is facing your fears without being scared, but in fact, is the opposite; is facing your fear while being scared," Nathan said, surprising her yet again. "Fighting Nightmare Moon made me hold my nerves to the boiling point, and been in front of a town height, Major Ursa? My spine was even vibrating at the thought."
"B-But you still did it."
"True, I was scared of it, but it had to be done. If I didn't show up and do something, that Ursa would have crushed Trixie, and she would have been in a wheelchair, that Ursa would continue rampage through the town." He said before he grabs her face softly, "And it might hurt any of you...I couldn't bear the thought," Fluttershy eyes stare at his, "To see you girls getting hurt. That's why I did it…I need to protect what I love. Even if fear is coursing through your whole body…Because where there's fear, there's courage."
Fluttershy stared at him in awe and when she was about to say something, a mighty roar, probably even mightier than the Ursa caused Fluttershy and Nathan to stiffen and all their hair in their body to stand on end.
"What the heck did they do now?" Nate asked as he facepalms at Rainbow's…unintelligent mind of doing the one thing she shouldn't even be doing in the first place.
With that, they both sprinted back to the others, just in time to see the girls been thrown back into a boulder by a giant black smoke. Courtesy of the awakening Dragon that came out of the cave…Not very impressive since this guy has nothing against the likes of Igneel, Dgraid, Spyro, or even Yoshi.
('But Yoshi isn't a Dragon. He's a Dino.')
That can drive go-cars, save its home from a tyrant and a baby kidnapper, fight against the likes of Samus and Link, play sports without problems, and swallow any kind of food in seconds without getting fat.
('...Touche.') Nathan thought as he heard Fluttershy squealed for the other misfortune, causing the dragon to look at us. Hey, is it copyrighting to asked for Dragon Slaying Magic?
Yes.
('Fuck…Okay, I can do this.') Nathan took a deep breath and turn to the animal lover, "Shy, stay here." He said before walking up to the giant lizard.
"Nate! Wait!" Fluttershy calls to him, but he simply continues walking. Right now, he stood in front of… Now that I look at it, this guy is humongous!
"Hello there!" the Dragon's deadly eyes landed on the maniac, "How are you doing today, my good sir!" the creature responds by blowing smoke into his face, covering him in snoot a little. "I'll take that as grumpy." Nathan deduces as he took a handkerchief and cleans his face. "I understand; you were interrupted from your nap. Believe, I would as well be grumpy if someone did the same to me." His words look to be working as the scale reptile's stop leering at him and looking at warily now. "But you see, your snores are doing a grave danger to the town below. Now, I know that you're without a doubt an intelligent and understandable being, as well as non-violent creature. I'm sure you can understand the consequences you are making to us, the tiny beings down here. As a kind of creature to another, I please ask you to find another place to sleep, it would be beneficial for both of us." Nathan bow to the dragon.
The latter stood straight and, literally began stroking his chin contemplatively. He must have been thinking of what the maniac said to him…
Wait a minute, who the heck is this? What have you done to our lovely maniac?!
('Hey! Not everything can be solved by simply been crazy!') Touche. Either way, this might work-
"Oh come on! He doesn't think that'll work, does he!? That dragon's too stupid to understand anything!"
…
…
…
"...Why?" Nathan slowly turns around and his dead eyes landed on the athletic wing girl. "Just why?"
The insult was like a branch snapping inside the Dragon's head as he let a mighty roar of rage and stare at us with those eyes that said 'You're dead meat!'...And now I'm hungry.
('Not time for that!') Nathan said as he tried to call his attention once again, "Wait! Just hold on a minute Big Guy! Just ignore her, she's-" he didn't finish as the dragon bitch slap him away. "I CAN FLY!" Nate shout as his body flew into a boulder, hard.
*Crack*
…And I think that was his arm breaking as the impact destroyed the boulder, burying him alive.
"NATE!" The girls shout in absolute shock and fear at what happened to the maniac. Meanwhile, the dragon roared in anger as it stared down at them, but he then stops when he felt something was wrong.
Something...very wrong.
"H...How…dare you…!" He looks to the side to see Fluttershy, who had her eyes shadowed by her pink hair. Her body trembles uncontrollably as she summons her yellow wings before looking at the creature with anger. "HOW DARE YOU!" A yellow aura suddenly surrounded her body before flying in front of the Dragon's face and landed in his nose. "Now listen here mister, just because you're big, doesn't mean you can be a bully! You may have big teeth, and sharp scales, and snore smoke, and breathe fire, but you do not, I repeat, You. Do. NOT. Hurt. My. Friends! You got that?!"
The giant dragon…was now pouting in sadness and point at Dash, "But, she hit me in the nose and call me stupid."
"And I'm very, very sorry for her terrible attitude!" Fluttershy apologizes before continuing, "But you're bigger than she is and you should know better! You should also know better than to take a nap where you're snoring can become a health hazard to other creatures!" She then points at where her love interest land, "Not only that...You Hurt someone who didn't do anything wrong to you, and possibly broke his arm! What do you have to say for yourself, mister?!" She didn't get a response quickly so she walks up to his eyes, "I asked; What. Do. You. Have. To. Say. For. Yourself. Mister?!"
And then, the Dragon began to cry...That's right folks! The first lizard in history, father of magical and flying beings, was crying like a baby after getting a lecture from a tiny anthro-human. Seeing that he realized his mistake, Fluttershy softens her glared and began to caress his scale.
"There. There. No need to cry. You're not a bad dragon, you just made a bad decision." She said before she flew off his nose, "Now, go pack your things and find a place where you can sleep and won't bother anyone." She said as the dragon nod and went inside. Once she landed, all the girls were on her, cheering for her.
"You did it! I knew you could do it!" Twilight said.
"Nice going, Sugarcube!" AJ said while patting her back.
"A fine job, Darling." Rarity said.
"Yeah! You show him who's boss!" Pinkie said with a pump fist.
"I guess...that was cool," Rainbow said while looking away.
"Thanks…" Fluttershy wasn't one to be good praise without a blush on her face. She suddenly widened them, "Nate!" She quickly speeds off, followed by the others as well, eyes widened in realization.
The animal caretaker drops down to where the giants' pebbles of rock were on top of each other. "Nate! Where are you?! Say something!" She asked she began to move the rocks she can, followed by the others. Pinkie, who had an excavator, for some reason, and began to dig. Applejack and Rainbow began to move the bigger boulders, while Twilight and Rarity combine their magic to level up what they can.
As they continue, they suddenly began to hear a sound and the piles of rocks started to shake violently. All the girls quickly move away from it before an explosion appeared. Twilight quickly summon her magic shield to protect everyone. The smoke commenced dispersing away, to reveal- "*scoff* *scoff* I LIVE!... Damn! It hurts!"
"NATE!" Pinkie and Fluttershy tackled hug him hard.
"Are you okay?! We heard something crack!"
"Are you hurt, my sweet cheesecake?!" They both asked at the same time with tiny tears next to their sockets.
"Shhhhhhh. Is okay you two." The maniac said as he holds them tight, "Besides my chattering Pride. I'm fine."
"How are you fine?!" Rainbow suddenly push the three of them away, "I'm seriously tired of not knowing how is it that you're fine from heavy punches! You managed to hold yourself off against Nightmare Moon and Ursa, got slapped by a dragon and crash back first into a boulder! I'm starting to think that you're not even from this world!"
"Oh, the irony." Nate rolls his eyes, "Also, I wouldn't have been thrown like a rag doll if a certain someone would have at least calm her butt just for a bit. Which begs the question," All present look at RD, who had an embarrassed look and pink cheeks, "What have I done this time to be treated like this?" He asked her.
"U-Um…Well…" the high flyer look away, but every time her face move, she was welcomed with either a glared or a disapproval look. "I...guess he wasn't dumb…?"
"Ladies...The girl has a brain." Nathan spoke with sarcasm and a sudden gust of wind caught their attention.
They all looked up and witnessed the dragon had gotten its stuff and lift to fly to a new resting place. With him away, they all let a breath out. Their mission was a complete success.
"Well, our job is done...But!" Nate point at RD, "Your attitude causes trouble! So you will be punished!" the rainbow girl's jaw drops as the eyes of the manic shine. "And I got just the idea."
(Later, back at Ponyville)
"Why do I have to say this?!"
"Is Punishment."
"And why do I have to dress like this?!"
"Is Punishment."
"Can't I just say sorry?!"
"If it was, then it wouldn't be a proper punishment and you won't learn."
At the Library, for the sake of pride, they all return to the town. On the back, Twilight and Rarity were covering their mouths to stop the giggles from coming out. Pinkie had shining eyes and puffed cheeks. Applejack was snickering without holdbacks. Fluttershy looks away while holding her laughter. While Spike was on the floor, fisting hard to hold his laughter.
Rainbow Dash; the self-proclaim fastest anthro on all of Equestria. Soon to be a proud member of the Wonderbolts. The Element of Loyalty. One of the six that will defeat Tirek…Was now dressed in a maid costume. Her face was scarlet at the embarrassment of what she's doing.
"Now." Nate claps his hands together, "Speak the words I especially told you to say, and I'll let bygones be bygones."
"Why the costume?!" Rain asked in anger.
"Once again; Proper Punishment." He then motions her to begin, "Now...You may begin."
Rainbow press her legs and began to rub them. Why did this happen to her? "Either do this, or I'll have you walk town for a week with the maid cos-"
"I'll say it! I'll say it!" The thought of everyone watching her in a maid costume was a nightmare Dash does not want to experience. She pushes her pride to the side and took a deep breath, still red on the face. "...M-Master…"
"Yeeeeees~?"
"Please...f-forgive this lowly s-servant of yours for almost causing your death."
"Aaaaaand~?"
"And…And...I thank you for being merciful with this blue-haired tomboy…~"
"Aaaaaaa-"
"And I'm into boyish clothes and want to have a mustache and a beard so that I can be like Starswirl the Bearded!"
After that, everyone broke into laughter, they were laughing so hard, the entire tree was shaking madly. Meanwhile, Rainbow was now releasing steam from her hears at the hit her pride like an arrow. She was still embarrassed that she saw the Element of Craziness grabbing her into a hug.
"Hahaha! It was great, Dashie! Consider yourself forgiven!" He said as he spun her around, while the others began to regain their breath from laughing so much.
"Y...Yeah…" the fury of the flyer was boiling red. ('I will not let this unsolved, Nate! I will get my revenge for this!') she thought with bad intentions.
"Hey." She suddenly heard Nate speaking to her softly, "I know you didn't like this...but, I didn't do this for fun. You need to be careful with your words." She looks at his eyes, who were concerned. "You might not mean them...but they can hurt others without your knowledge." he then smiles softly, "Can you promised that you'll be careful with your words?"
Rain looks down, her anger decreasing a bit before she sighs and nods. "Fine."
"Good." Nate drops her down, "Also, I won't dress you back on this." Pink cheeks appeared on his face as he looks away, "You were so cute in that."
Dash blush at his words before she sprinted to the bathroom, "I'm changing!"
As she does that, the girls stared at where their friend went and at Nathan, who was scratching his cheek, still embarrassed. They all, even Spike, stare with heavy blushes. The drake stares in amazed.
('H-He think she was cute in that?') Fluttershy thought with a small blush, while unconsciously holding the hand he holds to comfort her.
('Yes...Keep giving me details to capture sweety.') Pinkie thought as she scribbles in a tiny notepad.
('Gosh… Ah' never thought about that...But Ah' wouldn't look cute on that…') AJ thought, she knew too well those kinds of clothes wouldn't work on her as much as she would like too.
('A maid costume...You know, he would look great in a Butler outfit- Rarity! What are you thinking?! Your true love will be at the Gala! Nate is your friend, not love interest! We don't click well!') Rarity thought as she shook her head to remove the thoughts.
('A maid…Those he likes that kind of thing? Wait! Why am I think about Nate like that?!') Twilight thought as her face erupted in embarrassment.
('Amazing...He's amazing at getting girls! I need his advice!') Spike thought as he images himself and Nathan picking their love interested. He with Rarity, and Nate with whoever he wants.
Meanwhile, Nathan stared at his friends in confusion after noticing the stares. ('Why are they looking at me with weird looks?') he thought as he shook his head with a small smile, ('And here I thought I was a weirdo, second to Pinkie.')
