Coconut stared at the fire and continued to be deep in thought for almost an hour more. The fire, which had been left to it's own devices with the bonfire going, had brought itself to a low smolder and only offered a light glow. Coconut was brought to his senses when a cool sea breeze blew over him and brought with it its own own unique scent. He blinked, finally refreshing his eyes which seemed pried open the entire time, and got up with a stretch and a yawn. He looked at the fire a bit, then looked over to the Bonfire where he noticed Blaze still sleeping. Despite the night being a tad more chilly, since the fire was going, he figured he would leave him be. He made his way into the hut and over to his makeshift bed. He spotted Rainbow and Fluttershy sleeping soundly, or relatively soundly in Rainbows case, and smiled. He quietly made it into the bed a quietly as he could and found sleep quickly. Despite his best efforts however Fluttershy was stirred ever so slightly by Coconut shifting on the grass and sat up with a silence much quieter then Coconut, looking around a bit and seeing Rainbow and Coconut. She was still rather sleepy eyed and didn't notice Blaze not being there. She went back to sleep.
OOC: You can start the next morning.

The next morning Blaze was sleeping soundly next to the dying bonfire when a stream of water suddenly hit him and he jumped up in surprise. "What... ? Where... ?" He said looking around and listening for the sound of a fire alarm, but all he heard was laughing coming from above him. He looked up to see the blue pegasus rolling around on a cloud. "Rainbow?" "I thought you could use a little shower after spending the night out here." She laughed. "I... overslept?" He asked, more surprised about that than being dripping wet. "You sure did." Rainbow said now looking down at him. "What's the deal with sleeping outside anyway? After we build a perfectly good place to sleep." Blaze blushed and smiled sheepishly. "I kinda wanted the night to last a little longer, going to bed just seemed like ending it too soon." "That's so sappy." Rainbow laughed again. "Here, let me help you dry off." Rainbow flew around him creating a tornado that quickly dried him off and left his mane in a frightening state. "The water, I've been woken up with before." Blaze said swaying dizzily. "But this is the fist time I've been woken up with a tornado." Rainbow fell over and laughed again.

Fluttershy was stirred again by the noises from outside and gave a stretch, flaring her arms legs and wings straight out. The tips of her wings brushed lightly against Coconut's nose and it wasn't long before he gave a great sneeze waking both of them up to attention. It wasn't long before they noticed they were the only ones awake and that they had woken each other up but said nothing about it. Instead, they nodded lightly to each other and left the tent in slightly different directions but still towards Blaze and Rainbow who could be heard from the tent. "Good Morning Rainbow. Sleep well?" Fluttershy asked, also nodding to Blaze as they approached.

"Yeah I slept great!" Rainbow said. "How about you, Fluttershy. Good morning Coconut." "Morning." Blaze greeted the other two ponies.

"Well, I think we should get some breakfast in us and then check the other half of the island." Coconut said quickly getting to the job at had. Fluttershy looked over to Rainbow. "Will you be joining us this time for the search for water?" She asked her.

"Of course." Rainbow told Fluttershy. "Now that I can fly again there's no way I'm missing out." "Let me help you." Blaze told Coconut and started helping with breakfast.

Coconut nodded and went to work putting together both a fruit salad for breakfast and a trail mix of nuts and some of the dryer fruit for a midday snack. It wasn't long and he made sure to use the last of the fruit so it wouldn't spoil, "We should restock while we're out." He said putting everything onto some of the plates made of wood.
"We covered the left side before so today we're going to do the right side of the island today. Hopefully we'll find a stream or waterfall. I'm sure I could use a bath by now." Fluttershy said both catching her up to speed and burning time with idle conversation.

"You know you could always use a cloud." Rainbow said. "Although a bath would be great for my wings though." She agreed. "It's great having two colts serving us breakfast and dinner each day, right?" She told Fluttershy. "It's going to be hard having to do it ourselves when we go back." Blaze picked up some of the plates and took them over to the girls.

"Things have gone great this far but this is still a survival situation so I don't want to risk using out cloud water and then have clear skies until I know we have a source of fresh water. Hopefully we'll find a stream or something today." Fluttershy said accepting the plate from Blaze, "And I know what you mean. It's so nice that the guys are cooking so much. I think I'll invite everyone over for brunch when we get back." Coconut served up two more plates for He and Blaze settign Blazes to the side and starting his.

"Thanks Coconut." Blaze said picking up his plate and started eating as well. "Hey, that reminds me." Rainbow said out loud. "I know Blaze cooks for the fire department sometimes, but where did you learn how to make food Coconut?"

Coconut finished what was in his mouth, "Well, you learn a lot when you're traveling around between the three cities I work and you meet a lot of interesting ponies. I've learned many a recipe from traveling strangers and have had many open fire meals with hobos and the sort. I guess I've just got a lot of experience." Coconut said with a little smile and went back to eating. "Sounds like an interesting lifestyle." Fluttershy said and coconut nodded his approval. "So what's your favorite kinds of food?" She asked both of them at once. Coconut thought for a second, "I've learned to eat anything. Nothing is too plain nor too extreme for me anymore." He said again with a hearty laugh." Fluttershy chuckled a bit in response and looked to Blaze.

"Yeah, I'm fine with whatever is put in front of me." Blaze laughed. "I do prefer to stick to vegetables and fruit though, you won't find a lot of chocolate mouse and the like when I'm in charge of dinner." "Don't let Pinkie Pie hear you say that." Rainbow laughed.

Coconut finished his plate and sat it aside, "Well. I'm ready when you guys are. I'll go fill the four bamboo neck bottles with water for the trip." He said excusing himself and walking over to their water supply. Fluttershy, also being done eating, sat her plate aside as well, "I think I'll go help him." She left Blaze and Rainbow to their business and started filling the water cups.

Rainbow and Blaze sat their plates aside as well. "You ready for exploring?" She asked Blaze. "Always." Blaze answered and the two walked over to the forest to wait for Fluttershy and Coconut. "You know." Blaze said nervously. "The beach looks really beautiful with you on it." "Oh! That's so lame!" Rainbow laughed. "Are you still going to try those old lines?" "Well, I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how." Blaze said in his defense. "Why don't you just say it straight?" "I don't know how you'd react." "I'd be more impressed than hearing some old lame pick up lines." Rainbow replied.

Coconut and Fluttershy joined Blaze and Rainbow at the edge of the forest. Coconut was carefully carrying four of the cups in his teeth and sat them down in the middle of the group, "We can each take one. We'll be going up the same path but going right this time instead of left. Blaze and I will take the ground with Fluttershy and Rainbow in the air guiding us straight. Sound good to everyone?" He said, placing his cup around his neck. There was a cloth tied to the top to prevent any major spills but he still made sure to be careful. Handy work like this wasn't too much so his forte. "Sounds good to me. I'll follow behind you Rainbow." Fluttershy said fixing her neck water on as well.

The conversation quickly came to an end when Fluttershy and Coconut showed up, with the two ponies looking around a bit awkward. "Sounds good to me!" Rainbow said after Coconut's explanation and she and Blaze took their cups. "Let's get started, come on Fluttershy!" She said and shot into the air. "We're counting on you." Blaze told them and turned to the forest. "Ready Coconut?"

Fluttershy flew up after Rainbow until they were a good distance in the air such that they could still clearly see the Stallions but had a good vantage of the island as well. They couldn't see past the mountain in the center of the island but everything behind, to the left, and to the right was clear. When Coconut was satisfied with Fluttershy and Rainbows distance away, he followed after Blaze. "Let's get moving then." He said taking the lead into the forest, leaving the security of camp behind them.

Blaze followed after Coconut while Rainbow kept an eye out for them from above. "So." Blaze started. "Given your profession you probably know how to talk the girls right?" He asked Coconut.

"Hmm? Oh, well given my profession I can talk to anyone. Heck, given my cutie mark (which I can't remember what it is at the moment ) I can talk with anyone. However you must understand that psychologists go through stages. First, they are normal college ponies going about their business. They have an understanding of psychological concepts but don't actually live it. Second, they hit the stage of understanding they can be anyone to anyone by becoming anything for that person but they also tend to forget who they are at this stage. I'm past that and in the final stage where I live to be me and add psychology to that to add to what defines me. So to answer your question I can talk to girls but will always be myself while doing it which might mean I'm nervous on the inside or even straight scared." Coconut finished his long winded explanation with a smile on his face, "So where did you learn to talk with the Mares?"

"My friends at the fire station." Blaze said a little embarrassed. "I would listen in at how they bragged on picking up girls with the most cheesiest one liners. I mean, I know it's not very classy and I know Rainbow doesn't like it, but it's all I have to go on. Every time I want to compliment her those one liners are the only thing I can think off. So I'm wondering if you have any advice for me on how to talk to her and tell her how I feel, by really talking to her and not sounding like some sleazy bar fly. Do you know what I mean?"

Coconut maintained his pace and was silent other then a single, drawn out "hmmmm" so Blaze knew he was thinking, "To be honest." He started after a moment of silence, "If someone knows what they don't like, that doesn't necessarily mean they know what they do like and Rainbow doesn't seem like the type to go on dates very often so, and this is my advice not directions, asking her how she wants to be treated can't be a bad idea. If you need to play darts in the dark at least have somepony tell you the general direction of the dartboard. Then you're at least closer to hitting your mark. I was going to take this advice myself and ask Rainbow how best to approach Fluttershy but haven't found that opportune moment to ask yet." He stopped to catch his breath for a moment and turned to Blaze, "Make sense?" he asked taking a sip of his water. Fluttershy also stopped flying when she noticed the guys had stopped and told Rainbow it looked like they were taking a small break.

"Yeah, kind like keeping your head in a burning forest." Blaze said. "So you think I should ask Fluttershy or just ask Rainbow herself, right?" Blaze thought for a moment. "Hey! You want me to ask Rainbow about Fluttershy on your behalf and then you could do the same for me with Fluttershy?"
"Do you want to go down to them and take a break as well, Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked. "I'm still good, but this may be good place if you need a rest."

Coconut whistled up to the sky and pointed his hoof to their path. Fluttershy nodded and looked up to Rainbow, "Looks like their moving on. And I'm fine. I could use the exercise anyway. Gotta keep fit and looking good, right?" She started flying at a steady pace while keeping up with the guys. Coconut started walking when Fluttershy started flying, "Your plan is pretty solid but doesn't take into account one of the things mares notice without noticing they noticed it. Initiative. Even guys notice it without taking notice that they noticed it. I think Rainbow will react better to an honest, upfront statement on your end. Something like, 'So I know you don't like the cheesy one liners but they're all I've got to work on. Perhaps you can tell me how you would like me to express my affections?' in your own words of course. I say this because you're already running after Rainbow and she knows it. I don't think Fluttershy knows I'm into her and she also seems the shy type so I need to tread carefully which is why I'm getting advise first before I confront Fluttershy herself. I just want the best odds I can get and I think this is the best way to get it."

"You got that right!" Rainbow said and followed after Fluttershy.
"If you say so." Blaze told Coconut. "But do you really think Rainbow would just tell what she want me to do? I know she told me what she didn't like, but I get the feeling that she wants me to put effort into finding out what she does like, she wants me to work for it."

"Honestly, I don't think she knows herself. Like I said, she doesn't seem the dating type but does appear to have some level of standards if she knows what she doesn't like. I say roll like you would roll with it, asking directly is simply how I would go with it. I still intend to find the chance to speak to Rainbow but you can talk to either Rainbow or Fluttershy as you see fit. Both should prove fruitful conversations." He said hopping over a big root and tripping on a rock on the other side, "I'm ok." He shuffled quickly to his feet and maintained pace and playing it off as best he could.

"Careful there." Blaze told Coconut, concerned about him. "Try to step were you can see it's safe. It's easy to slip or step into hidden holes in places like this." Blaze gave a small sigh. "That sounds easy enough." He said going back to the conversation. "But I'm totally nervous about this, I don't know if you can see it, but I am."

Coconut stopped, "I think we should take a break here." He looked up and whistled again. Fluttershy looked down and saw him gesturing for them to come down. She told rainbow and started her steady descent. "Just draw from the same courage that allows you to run into a burning building and you should be fine. It'll be a great learning experience no matter how to turns out.

"How do you think I've been staying calm around her thus far?" He gave a nervous giggle. "If it wasn't for that I'd probably sound like a young school colt around her. But I get what you're saying and thanks for the advice." Rainbow flew down with Fluttershy and soon landed next to the colts. "Any luck so far?" She asked. "Nope." Blaze answered her. "We could be passing by lakes and not see them in this dense Jungle. How about from above?" "Just trees." Rainbow shrugged.

The Garden Gnome appeared in front of a tree in the corner of Coconut's eye. "Gnomeaphobia." Said a moist whisper that felt like breath on Coconut's ear. The gnome vanished.

Coconut barely saw the gnome as his attention was on Fluttershy but he did catch what we was saying like a whisper in the wind and what came next was a horrifying headache like not other that crippled him to the point of grabbing his head and falling over. He curled up in a ball and the pain was so much he couldn't even scream out as the memories of Clyde and Cher practically clawed at his mind trying to break to the surface but the gnomes magic was more then it could take. It was only for a while and eventually Coconut simply lay on the ground breathing heavily. Fluttershy was him hit the ground and folded in her wings almost diving to reach the ground, opening her wings just in time to catch herself inches above it, she quickly ran to Coconuts side and put her hoof on her forehead as she tried to find out what was wrong. Right now, she was genuinely concerned for him.
