Fluttershy was sitting by the bonfire and Coconut by the smaller fire. He heard her get up and looked back to see her walking off a ways and coming back dragging some wood, probably to put on the fire. Coconut quickly came over and picked of the wood from a broken stub out of its side and took over throwing it into the fire, "You sit down. I've got this." He said kindly and went to their wood pile to get some of the reserve. Fluttershy sat down a little closer to the fire and watched Coconut go to work. When Coconut would come by with more wood he would look at Fluttershy and give a small smile. She would return it then quickly pretend she was looking somewhere else. Once the fire had returned to its previous life Coconut stopped for a moment to look over to the fire, "Mind it I sit with you?" he asked without really looking at her. "Umm, sure I guess." she responded scooting over a little despite there being plenty of beach. "So, you work with animals in Ponyville?" He asked to start a conversation on something she wouldn't mind talking about. He got a better response then he though as her mood lifted immediately and she began to talk, with great enthusiasm mind you, about all her animal friends and her roles with the wild animals around Ponyville. Coconut just smiled and listened, happy to have found something she really enjoyed and being content just to listen.

The two ponies ran at the edge of the water. Just as Blaze started to catch up to her Rainbow spread her wings and took to the sky, shooting away from him. "Hey! No fair!" "I never said I won't use my wings!" She called back. "Well, I'm not giving up yet!" Blaze said running as fast as he could, but he was no match for the pegasus in the sky and soon tumbled over his feet as he got winded and rolled over the sand, landing face first in it. Rainbow landed next to him and tumbled into the sand herself laughing. "You loose!" "I... Lost..." Blaze said out of breath and smiling. He rolled onto his back breathing deeply. Rainbow looked over to him. "I guess I could give this a try." "What's... that...?" Blaze asked still catching his breath. "Nothing." Rainbow smiled rolling her eyes.

Fluttershy continued talking as she described each of her closest animal friends in great detail, "...So what's it like being a psychologist?" Fluttershy asked suddenly, catching Coconut off guard. "Umm, well... I guess it's like any other doctor position or any position where it's your job to understand and care for people. It can be quiet and peaceful or full of energy even dangerous. There's never a dull day on the job I suppose though I do take it in strides and enjoy every moment of peace that I can find. You do the same thing I do for ponies but for your animals if you think about it and they treat you with the same respect and love you give them. That's a psychologists dream." "Oh? I guess you're right. It's about being there for each other I guess. Like my friends and I." "Exactly, though for me I'm mostly there for my patients. They only help me remotely although I have a lot of connections should I need a plumber for instance." He said with a little chuckle. "You live outside of Ponyville then?" "Yeah. I have my little cottage by the Everfree forest." Fluttershy said looking out to sea, "Were do you stay?" "Nowhere in particular. I'll usually sleep outside unless it's winter or something when I'll get a hotel but otherwise I think it's a good homage for Princess Luna and I always see the sun set and rise. Also, working in three cities, I need to be available to see my other patients in a timely manner. I've been working on training some prodigies to succeed me in two of the cities though so I'm also keeping an eye on a place I'd like to move to." "Really? So you're like always camping then?" "I guess you're right. I like it and sometimes other ponies join me for a night and keep me company so it's not a bad deal." "Hmm, Applejack and Rainbow don't mind camping. Perhapse we'll see each other when you're visiting Ponyville?" She said, just a hint of wishful thinking coming through her voice though she couldn't have noticed it; and neither did Coconut. "I'm sure we will. I'll have to come by and see you and your animal friends so you can introduce them to me in person." Coconut said with a smile then turned to the fire. "I'm sure they'd like that." Fluttershy said also turning to the fire though not helping but crack a smile. OOC: How was that? I'm still learning this whole Romance thing... it's complicated... especially when one has no love life in real life

ooc: The blind leading the blind. LOL! It sounds good to me. Although I'm not much of an expert either. Rainbow and Blaze came walking back into the camp. "Well, I'm ready to hit the hay!" Rainbow said with a yawn.

Things were quiet by the bonfire and the silence was only broken when one of the monkeys played himself to sleep with the soft song and fell over. Coconut and Fluttershy both looked back at the sound and walked over, "You guys can go home now. Stop by for breakfast if you'd like." Fluttershy said taking a seat in front of the monkeys, "And thanks for playing for out little party, it was very good." Coconut only nodded and smiled, not wanting to say the wrong thing. The monkeys all got up and waved as they walked into the forest, leaving the instruments on the ground. Fluttershy waved back at them as they left and Coconut caught sight of Blaze and Rainbow walking into camp. "Looks like our friends are coming back too." He said waving a hoof in greeting. Fluttershy turned and say Rainbow and waved as well.

Rainbow waved back to Fluttershy and then turned to Blaze. "Hey Blaze, thanks for today. I have to admit. It was, nice. Next time though, let's have more fun and less drama, okay?" "You bet!" Blaze answered. "And thank you too, it was nice... No! It was great, awesome, you're awesome." Rainbow laughed and walked to their cabin. "Goodnight Blaze."

Fluttershy nodded to Coconut, "It was nice talking to you. I think I'll join Rainbow. Been a long night." She gave a small smile and went off to the cabin after Rainbow. Coconut nodded and watched her leave. He then turned to Blaze and nudged his head to the Bonfire before walking off in it's direction.

Blaze walked to the bonfire and then fell flat on his belly with a wide smile, sigh and glazed over eyes.

Coconut took a seat near Blaze but giving him plenty of room, "Seems someone had fun." Coconut said then took a stick and poked at the fire.

"I did." Blaze said. "She talked to me, and danced with me, raced with me, joked with me. I'm getting ready to wake up and find out this was all a dream, you know? I mean it's just too wonderful to be real." Blaze rolled over on his back. "Who would have thought that a pony like me could ever have a girl like that talk to him, let alone spend time with him."

Coconut rubbed the back of his neck. For once he wasn't really sure what to say so just tried to roll with it, "Sooooo, what would you say made this successful?" He asked trying to take the psychologist approach.

"I really don't know." Blaze said. "I'm still wrapping my head around the second date bit. I don't think I could even have tried to dream that."

"Oh? Then I suppose you should get reading on whatever book she was talking about. Would make a good conversational piece." Coconut said trying to keep the conversation neutral. After a moment he realized he couldn't be subtle but would try one more thing, "You think the island was the best place to ask Rainbow out? Why not wait till after we're saved?"

"I didn't actually ask her out." Blaze said getting up. "I just wanted to try and say the right thing, I wanted her to like me. And to make a long story short I did just exactly the opposite of that. I was sure she hated my guts after that, but I had to try and apologize, I was wrong after all. And after that things just turned out like this. I didn't even think we were on a date until she said we were."

Coconut put a hoof to his chin as he thought to himself. "I think I'll ask tomorrow then." He said, accidentally thinking out loud.

"Ask what tomorrow?" Blaze asked looking up.

Coconut looked over, realizing he was thinking of loud, "Oh, well um. I was kind of thinking of asking Fluttershy out myself." He said, nervously rubbing the back of his head. "I don't know if she's into that kind of thing though. She seems pretty introverted."

"I knew there was something going on between you two!" Blaze put an arm around Coconut's shoulder and then shoved him to the side in a friendly manner. "Ha! This is great! Good luck. I take back everything I ever said about Ponyville. Not only did I meet on old friend, but I met an awesome girl that I think likes me. And I've made two new and great friends along with it! And to think that we would probably never have become friends under normal circumstances!"

Haha no kidding. You guys have a psych eval coming up so you might not have liked me at all." Coconut said, nudging Blaze with his hoof.

"I forgot about that." Blaze said. "But hey, I'm all for keeping the firefighters in top shape, physically and mentally. But you're right, I don't think that would have broken the ice as much." Blaze laughed. "So what are you going to say to her?"

"Well, you couldn't have known since you're just getting here but with the two of us we'll keep the firehouse in tip top shape." Coconut said nodding for emphasis, "and I have no idea what to say. I think being frank but soft is a good approach. Perhapse just ask for a stroll on the beach or something."

"Sounds like you have a better grasp at what to say than I did." Blaze laughed. "So when did you start falling for her?"

"It's the psychologist in me. Anyway, even I don't know what eill happen so I'm pretty nervous." Coconut said with a little laugh the turned to the fire, "but sometimes you need to jump blind like when your trying to catch the wind while windsurfing. You can't see the wind but you know it when you feel it."

"Was it on the island?" Blaze pressed on. "Or have you been admiring her for a long time?"

"We met for the first time earlier on the day we got teleported here so it hasn't been long. I don't know, I just feel this pull. Like I have to try with everything I've got. I can't really explain it much like how you couldn't really explain it to me. I suppose it was on the island."

"If you feel a pull, then you have to go for it!" Blaze said. "At least that's the best advice I can give. Although it's probably up to each pony what to do. So? Do you think Fluttershy knows how you feel about her?"

"I don't know. I don't know how she normally acts so I can't tell if she acts any different with me then with anypony else. I suppose tomorrow will tell." Coconut said and threw the smoldering remains of the stick he was holding into the fire, "So what are we to do with this? You think it's safe leaving it? I think it will be a pain to put out."

Blaze looked at the fire, the woods, the sky and felt the breeze from the sea. "It should be fine, I think I'm just going to sleep here anyway."

"Alright, try not to catch a cold." Coconut looked out to sea, "High tides already in so nothing to worry about there. I'll stay by the smaller campfire. I'll probably be up till it burns out so if you need anything I'll be there." He waved at blaze and he left to the smaller fire.

"Thanks." Blaze said. He laid down and stared at the beach and thinking about Rainbow as he nodded off to sleep.
