"If they're too heavy just leave them in there and I'll get them when you're done." Rainbow told Fluttershy as she took the rock from her.
"A lullaby his mom taught you? That must be nice." Blaze said and a sad look that was very uncharacteristic of him covered his face as he laid his head down in thought.

"Alright. There are only a few down here right now but ill leave them for later." Fluttershy said and ducked her head under the water, soaking her mane. "Will you be going back to join the others by the fire?"
Coconut immediately noticed his friends mood drop and stood up. He walked around the fire and laid down almost nose to nose with blaze, getting right in his face, " Somethings bothering you... We're on a deserted Island so there's no escape... You will tell me what's bothering you." He said, looking righy into Blazes eyes.

"Nah." Rainbow told Fluttershy. "I'll keep you company. Well give the boys space to talk about us behind our backs for a while."
"You don't have to be so intense Doctor." Blaze said with a halfhearted smile. "You just have to ask. I'm thinking about my mother, or at least, I'm trying to remember her."

"Cool." Fluttershy said and again submerged fully, her wings popping out of the water and splashing a bit of water.
"I'm not a doctor on the island... I'm just your friend, and a weird friend at that." Coconut said with a little laugh and lifting his head, "So you don't know your mother?" he said with more sympathy then his earlier tone."

Rainbow laughed and waited for Fluttershy to come back up. "So you're okay with the boys talking behind our backs? I thought you'd be worried about what they'd say."
"She died in a fire when I was still a foal." Blaze said. "I remember bits and pieces of her. I was trying to remember if she ever sang me a lullaby."

"Not really, They seem like a pair of nice, sensible guys and I always try and put on a good impression so people don't say mean or untrue things about me." Fluttershy replied, "Why, are you worried about what they might say?"
"If it was that long ago then scouring the latent memory of your brain is useless. You won't likely ever just remember the lullaby or your mother but you still know of the fire. People live on forever in the minds and actions of those they touch so you would have to find your mothers friends who probably knew you as a foal. They would have been there when she sang you to sleep at night and that's assuming you were not an easy sleeper. Even then, though, every mother has a lullaby, whether for the baby or for herself. It serves a unique purpose in the mother baby relationship, but that's not the point is it. Do you at least know your father?" Coconut asked still in the softer tone, not unlike someone speaking poetry as opposed to a psych eval.

"Fluttershy, guys are never sensible." Rainbow told her. "And I'm not worried about what they might say. Not because they won't say anything stupid, especially Blaze. But because I don't mind if Blaze is talking about me and I guess you don't mind if Coconut is talking about you." Rainbow said with a grin.
Blaze stood up and put a hoof on Coconut's shoulder. "You've never lost somepony tragically have you?" Blaze said also in a soft tone with no ill meaning. "And if you weren't my friend and if I didn't know you I'd have punched you for saying that." Blaze took his hoof away and sat upright. "Yes I know my father. He didn't like it when I became a firefighter, but I know he's proud of me."

"So long as it's nice things, i guess." Fluttershy said, "Makes me wonder what they're really talking about." she added looking towards camp.
Coconut just smiled at Blaze, "I've never lost someone precious to me but I do know what grief and such can do to a pony. I make it a point to refer grief counseling to one of my more capable interns; it's not my specialty. All I know is how ponies work and that if you wanted to find your mothers lullaby, there are means to do it. What can I say, sometimes my lips are looser then they should be and I've received many a 'love tap' for the things I've said so I've learned to take a hit. That, and the few truly crazy ponies can put up a real fight when they go off the deep end." Coconut said mostly for the sake of talking and not towards any particular goal.

"I'm sure it's nice things." Rainbow said. "Those two would probably have to think about saying something bad and even then wouldn't be able to come up with something." She laughed. "Well ,since they're talking about us, no harm in us talking about them right? So what part of Coconut do you like most?"
"Wow, your job seems a lot more dangerous than I first thought." Blaze said. "Don't worry though, like I said, I'm getting to know you and I know you didn't mean anything by it. My dad has a hard time talking about the times we spend as a family together, the three of us, but I know he tries though. And it's not so much the knowing, but the remembering that I want. You say they live forever through our memories, but it isn't true, we forget. Even when we try our hardest not to, we still forget. So I want to remember as much as I can as long as I can."

Fluttershy thought for a moment, "I guess it's because he has this way of talking that makes you open up to him. There's no telling where he's going with his thoughts but it doesn't feel wrong being near him or telling him something." Fluttershy said with a little giggle, "I now pose the same question to you about Blaze." Fluttershy said sinking her muzzle below the water and watching Rainbow with only her eyes above water and her ears pointed in her direction.
Coconut was quiet for a moment trying to think of what to say next, "Guess I'll quite while I'm ahead and alive. How about you pose a question to me in exchange for delving into your head?" Coconut said looking over to Blaze with an innocent smile.

"No no!" Rainbow said to Fluttershy, moving closer to her. "I mean what part of Coconut do you like most." She grinned. "For me, I guess it's how well he's build. You can see his muscles when his being active and helping, but it doesn't bulge out when he's relaxing. He's totally well cut, if you know what I mean. And he's shoulders and chest especially, he always keeps his head up so it always shows and I'm not complaining. So what's your favorite part?"
"Alright." Blaze nodded. "I'll take you up on your offer. Why psychology? Why try to know what other ponies are thinking?"

Fluttershy was blushing furiously through the water and sort of just looked at Rainbow for a moment. Eventually she lifted her head out of the water and scooted closer to Rainbow, "Well... I've never thought about it but if I had to pick a part..." she scooted closer and looked around before continuing, "His hind legs are so tone, from flank to hoof. Not too much and not too little." She said and started giggling to herself.
It's not that I want to know what they're thinking, I want to know why they're thinking what they're thinking. Ponies follow a common pattern of thought and behavior and by understanding why they are doing it I keep myself from making assumptions about anyone. Everyone's diverse in there own way. Mostly I took psychology to learn about what ponies will do when they become less themselves and more the deeply rooted facts of our behavior. When a pony is scared, surprised, angry, or overjoyed they tend to behave irrationally and this isn't a safe state to be in at times. Helping a pony find their happy place and recover from moments of extreme emotion is what I live for. Believe it or not I first realized my talent was an ability to talk with ponies and make them comfortable in hard times when I had to talk with a little foal so she would stop panicking while her schoolhouse burned down. I was the same age as her. Saved both our lives though and I've been trying to further understand ponies ever since." Coconut explained as he revisited the memories in his head.

Rainbow giggled with Fluttershy. "I never figured you to go after the hind legs Fluttershy." She said softly. "Okay, okay! So I'm in this big race, right? My biggest race ever and I'm going up against the best of Equestria. And the race is intense! I give it my all and at the end I leave all my opponents in the dust. And as I cross the finish line he's waiting for me on the other side, I fly straight into his arms as he congratulates me for winning and hugging me really tight. So what's your fantasy?" Rainbow asked her eyes shining with mischief.
"I can understand that." Blaze told Coconut. "Not your explanation about their behavior so much, but I can understand why you'd go down the path you choose." Blaze stood up and stretched himself out. "What is keeping those girls so long? I'm sure the water must be cold by now."

Fluttershy rested on the side of the makeshift tub and thought for a moment, "I guess it would be a quiet evening by the fireplace. We've both had a hard days work and a wonderful song starts playing. He stands up and holds out his hoof which I take and we slowdance all night long." Fluttershy explained with an almost dreamy tone. She hadn't noticed how far the water level had dropped from two ponies using the bath and the leaves not being 100% water tight. As night fell the air also started to get colder but it was slow happening and the two girls couldn't have noticed deep in conversation as they were.
"My only worry is that someone get's a cold from the wind chill. We should go fond more large leaves is somepony needs a larger 'blanket'" Coconut said also getting up with a stretch.

ooc: Rainbow isn't in the bath with her. She's sitting outside on the ground. "Oh wow." Rainbow said. "You almost had your perfect dream the other night when we danced. All you needed was, you know, to be together." "Might as well." Blaze agreed. "Girls will be girls, I guess." He laughed.

OOC: I know that... did something I post say otherwise I was making reference to Coconut using the bath and then Fluttershy using it and throw in the rocks which had to be removed twice over I figure that even well placed leaves would have shifted and as such the water will start leaking into the sand or soil (not sure which composes the "bath") BIC: "I know right. that I think that was more us against you guys in a dance off then being close and personal. feeling each other as you dance and becoming one in motion, if for a moment." Fluttershy said still a little lost in thought. Coconut went to the woods nearby and looked for more large palm tree leaves to act as blankets for the ponies.

ooc: two ponies using the bath Oh! You meant Coconut before that. Why would I even think otherwise. "I know. It's a little selfish, but I kinda wish I was able to stay conscious when Blaze caught me that first time." Rainbow admitted. "Imagining flying into his arms would have been more awesome if I could remember him carrying me to the hospital. Fluttershy." Rainbow said. "I'll do everything I can to help you win over Coconut." Blaze followed after Coconut. "We should see if there's any dry grass or leaves around." He said as he struggled with a leaf. "If we put them between the leaves we make it'll keep the girls warm and cozy tonight."

OOC: You dirty dog you BIC: "Thanks" She said with a wide smile, "And you went to the hospital? Is that were you lost a bunch of your feathers a couple days ago?" Fluttershy asked just now remembering she was injured before hand. "What happened that he caught you unconscious?" OOC: If memory serves, Fluttershy wasn't at the chrysalis attack and hasn't been brought up to speed about those events. BIC: "That's a great idea?" Coconut said and started looking under the larger leaves, "And if we can't find fully dry leaves we can finish the process by the fire and then they'll have a heated blanket effect going." He said and started pulling dry-ish leaves of all sorts onto a large leaf to carry back to camp.

"You don't know?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy. "Chrysalis was posing as Junebug and was brainwashing Bio. I saved Broly from one of Chrysalis' blasts and got my feathers burned in the process. Blaze caught me right out of the air and I passed out soon after. I remember seeing him and telling him something and then waking up int the hospital."
"If the leafs cool down again though they'll be colder than before." Blaze warned Coconut about warming the leafs by the fire. "It's best if we can make it so the leafs keep them warm throughout the night."

"Oh dear. I had no idea Chrysalis even came to town." Fluttershy said a little surprised by revelation, "And Blaze carried you to the hospital. So you guys have been sort of hanging out ever since?"
"I know that. I mean using the fire as a means of creating dry leaves later. It's not exactly fall or winter anymore." Coconut said dragging his large leaf holding what dry leaves he could find back to camp.

"Not really." Rainbow smiled. "At first he was kind of annoying. Trying to impress me with the worst pick up lines ever. Awkwardly hanging around to try and talk to me. I was thankful that he saved me and didn't want to chase him away, so I was a little easy on him. And I'm glad I was, he turned out to be really sweet."
Blaze followed Coconut back to camp to start on the leafs.

"That's nice." Fluttershy said and a breeze blew over the beach. Fluttershy's upper half, still wet but no longer under water, was chilled pretty hard and she sunk down so she was covered in water again, "How long have we been talking?" She asked, fir the first time noticing how low the water had gotten.
Coconut started stacking the leaves to make thicker blankets for Rainbow and Fluttershy, leaving the small leaf business for Blaze who seemed to have a better idea of how to deal with them.

Rainbow sat up straight. "Oh pony! Blaze and I haven't even taken a bath yet and we're gossiping like school fillies! You dry yourself off and go to the fire and I'll get the rocks for my bath." Rainbow flew over to the coconuts that still had water in them for the bath and emptied a few inside.
Blaze started preparing the dry grass and leaves, making sure they were clean and good enough to do the task.

Fluttershy stood up and wrung out her tail and mane before she got out, tieing it up in a bun of sorts so it wouldn't drag in the sand while wet. Once out of the hole she shook off and quickly went back to camp for the warmth of the fire.
Coconut sat the large leaf he used to drag the small foliage to camp by the Fire to act as a chair and Fluttershy took the initiative and sat down on it. Coconut walked up to the fire, finished with his job at the shelter, "Have a good bath I assume." "Yeah. Went a bit longer then intended though." Fluttershy said with a small chuckle, "Where's Blaze?" She asked looking towards the shelter where Coconut came from.

Rainbow put the cold rocks back into the fire and swapped out the hot rocks. Blaze finishes his worked and put two leaf blankets aside for the girls and headed out to the others. "Here I am." He answered Flutteshy. "Finished with your bath? Hey Rainbow! Let me help you with those." He offered when he saw her. "You'd like that wouldn't you?" Rainbow teased. "Just to the bath, I didn't mean..." Blaze defended himself. "It's fine, you can help." Rainbow stopped him.

Coconut rolled his eyes ever so slightly with a smile but said nothing, instead taking a seat across the fire from Fluttershy. With Blaze and Rainbow headed to the bath it was pretty quiet. It was only a second of silence before Coconut was up again pursuing some hidden agenda. He took two thicker, longer sticks and used them to carry one of the hotter logs off to the bath behind Blaze and Rainbow. Fluttershy just took a slow deep breath and watched the flames dance into the air, content to do so.

"Thanks." Rainbow thanked Blaze after he put the stones in the bath. "I'm happy to help." Blaze said. "Alright, um, you can go now." Rainbow shooed him away. "Oh, right! Sorry." Blaze quickly turned around and headed back before Rainbow stopped him. "You know." She said already in the bath. "It is kinda lonely out here near the forest and stuff, I guess I wouldn't mind some conversation." "Really?" Blaze asked surprised. "Yeah sure." "And you're alright with me here?" "Come on! I was only teasing you." Rainbow said with a grin. "Well, okay." Blaze said and laid down on the sand where he was standing.

Coconut idled by like he was the only pony there and put the burning log down a few feet away from the bath. He then broke the sticks he was using to move it and put them on the fire to keep it going. Afterwards, he left without a word.

OOC: At first he was going to create a fire for Fluttershy to sit by so she could keep Rainbow Company but seeing as Bio looked like he was staying he set of a small fire and left.
