"Tell me about it! That's why I was send to Ponyville." Blaze said, although not with resentment. "Let's see. I love my job, I get to help out a lot of ponies. I like walking through forest and competing in competitions and sports. And I'm really bad with the ladies, so I found out recently, I didn't really pursue that kind of thing back home."

"I'm Clyde. I wanted to be a legendary private investigator. And I ended up becoming a investigator for the Princess. I like travel, food, and sleep, I also like mystery stories."

"If you're working for the Princess I'd say your on the right track to becoming a legendary investigator." Blaze said as he kept a close eye on the jungle.

"Yeah, and sometimes the greatest mysteries are the closest to home." Clyde said when he heard wing flaps approaching. He looked up to see Fluttershy descending to their spot. "Hey Fluttershy, what's up?" "We've gone pretty far from camp. As far as checking for rivers I think you should to left from here to make a 90° angle which will take us straight to the beach and we're bound to cross a river is there is one close enough. We can check the other half of the forest this way tomorrow." She said speaking almost directly to Coconut and apparently ignoring the other two. "Sounds good to me? Make sense to you guys?" (OOC: I'll draw a picture if I have to )

"Yeah...lets just..." Suddenly Clyde noticed something in the bushes. "Wait...did you see that?" Coconut stopped in his tracks and looked back at Clyde, "what?"

"Did you find something?" Blaze asked turning around to look at Clyde. "Is it water?"

Clyde sensed the evil and slowly pulled back the leafs to reveal...A GARDEN GNOME! EXUDING ITS GNOMEY EVIL!!! Clyde was creeped out but didn't scream. "It's like its staring into my soul." "Gnomophobia?" Coconut asked both confused and amused. He wasn't effected by the gnome like Clyde in the least. Coconut breathed in to say something then *CRASH*... a coconut came from the tree above and shattered the porcelain figure.

Blaze gave a hearty laugh. "What a weird place for a gnome, I wonder how it got here." Blaze took away the coconut and gathered up some of the larger pieces that remained of the gnome. "These might come in handy, may as well take them back with us."

"NO! Its evil!" The pieces radiated some faint magical power. He used his telekinesis to take them and bury them in the ground. "Call it Sixth Sense but that thing is evil! Please. I know you don't know me that long but im begging you to trust me..." Clyde pleaded. Coconut turned away from Clyde and leaned in close to Blaze, "His Gnomophobia seems pretty extreme. This isn't a setting to try and cure him of it. Let's just leave it be." He whispered to Blaze and started walking in the direction they were headed to get back to the beach.

"Okay, okay." Blaze agreed with the two ponies. "I just thought it may be useful. Let's get going before the others start to worry, Clyde." Blaze called to him and followed after Coconut.

It wasn't long before they made it to the beach and were looking out to the ocean once again. Fluttershy joined them on the ground again, "Seems there wasn't any nearby rivers on that side. Better luck next time." Fluttershy said then took a deep breath, "I think I'll walk the rest of the way. My wings are tired. I don't usually fly this much." "Sure thing. We just follow the beach to the left here and we'll find our camping spot in no time." Coconut said and they started OOC: Pinkie: I'm just taking it slow... no need to rush things... Spike: But when will the special interest start between the two? Pinkie:

ooc: LOL, I'm also trying to work it out to get Rainbow and Blaze alone. "Rainbow should be able to be fit enough to fly before the end of the day." Blaze said as they headed for camp. "So she'll be able to help with gathering clouds this time."

OOC: I was going to try and do something on the way to the campsite right now but it would feel a bit forced. I'll wait for a more opportune moment to present itself in an effort to avoid injuring or ruining the good name that is Fluttershy's BIC: It wasn't long before they made it back to the campsite safe but empty hoofed, "Seems there's no river on that side of the island." Fluttershy said quite winded by the flying and then beach walking. She took a seat beside Rainbow. Coconut looked around and once everything was content in his eyes he made his way to the shelter, plopped on his back and closed his eyes as he rested, partially covered by the shade. Cher and Clyde just lounged around. "Hey...I think I know how to clean the sea water..." Clyde said. "Boil it! Then strain the salt!" He said excitingly. "It's a great idea but first, you can't strain the salt out of seawater and you would need to put a tarp over the boiling water to catch the condensation and stream it down to a separate container altogether, and two, Clouds offer perfect fresh water and right now the skies full of them. I don't think we're desperate enough to be pushed to attempting to filter salt and fish bi-products into drinkable water. I'm sure we'll find a river or a stream tomorrow which will have all the running water we need. I feel it in my bones." Coconut said without getting up or moving much at all but also with a little laugh.

"Great, you guys are back." Rainbow said as the party returned. "Um, Blaze, could you check my wing again, please? It's feeling stiff and I don't want to try anything and injure it even more." "Sure, I can do that." Blaze said walking up to Rainbow and gently looking at her wing. "Your wing looks good, the stiffness should go when you use it a bit." "Thanks." Rainbow said happily. "So I can start using it again?" "Yes, but take it slowly." Blaze said sitting down next to her. "I know, it's not like this is first time I've had to take it easy with my wings."

Coconut opened one eye and looked past his belly at all the ponies interacting around him. He leaned up a bit to get a better view but stayed relatively reclined. Fluttershy looked over at Rainbows wing, "The feathers look like their growing back in OK as well." She said wit ha kind smile. OOC: I'm totally assuming there is a noticeable difference from earlier Also, what's our group going to do for the rest of the day. I think after the forest walk and the beach walk it would be between 2 or 3 on the island right about now, possibly a little earlier.

ooc: I need a way to get Rainbow and Blaze alone. "Thanks Fluttershy." Rainbow said spreading her wings and testing them. "They feel better as well." Having done something to make Rainbow happy Blazeheart thought it a good idea to quit while he was ahead. "I'm going to get more firewood for tonight." He said standing up and starting off. "Just call me when you're going to fetch the clouds."

OOC: As Ironic as it is, my characters will probably get their moment alone when Blaze and Rainbow have their moment and Clyde and Cher will go out to do something as well. That's how I would like it to happen anyway. I've got to clean the kitchen but I've read all the threads. I'll only update this one so it's at the top of my mind and maybe I can orchestrate our characters into their places. All I need to do is bring up the concept of (Clyde, Cher, alone) and and he'll dues ex a reason for his characters When Coconut and Fluttershy are finally alone my post will probably be just a description of their thoughts and feelings in the moment as neither of them are the type to talk much. BIC: ... OOC: I was about to type my BIC but then I thought of something. Blaze walked into the forest and, having to sit at camp all day with only Cher to talk to (no offense) it stands to reason that the normally active Rainbow Dash would be a bit antsy. In an effort to do something within her abilities and also fueled by a possible secret (even to herself) interest in Blazes past she might go into the forest after Blaze to "Help gather firewood" I think if our characters are meant to be together then there has to be this deep secret connection between the two that they might not even see in themselves. A secret attraction or pull that leaves you thinking of that individual in the back of your mind and leaving you asking why. I'll then give Raider the que to do something with his characters and All our couples will have their tiny moment... and now I can't think of a BIC. I'll wait for your response.

ooc: I was leading up to Rainbow going after Blaze and asking about his past, but I wanted to do it after your next post. But since you already figured it out may as well post it now. Rainbow watched Blaze walking down the border of the forest and got up. "I'm going to stretch my legs a bit." She said and walked after Blaze. "Hey Blaze wait up!" She called out to him when she got near. Blaze stopped, surprised that Rainbow came after him. "Rainbow Dash? Is something wrong?" He asked. "Nah, I just wanted to stretch my legs." She said walking up next to him. "I've been stuck in camp all day, so I figured I'd help you get firewood." "Oh?" Blaze said suddenly nervous. "Um, tanks, I mean, sure, I don't mind."

OOC: Well, my characters get their moment when they're left alone and I was going to post Clyde and Cher leaving as a response to You're characters The nyou can lead with the characters having their moments and I have more time to carefully right out the campsite scene to best match the image in my head.
BIC: Clyde whispered to Cher "Hey. I think there is something on this island. Something evil. I want you to check it out with me." Cher shook her head no, "No snakes!" "No... Something else. You had this job longer then I did. Please?" "No." "Please?" "No."
42 attempts later....
"Okay... I give up." Cher facehoofed, "I will hurt you if we see a snake." She muttered as she went into the forest with Clyde.
Coconut and Fluttershy watched the whole thing but didn't interfere as they couldn't hear what they were talking about. Then the two walked into the forest together and Coconut just looked away as if he hadn't seen anything. Fluttershy watched the two walk into the forest from where she was sitting until she couldn't see them anymore then looked around the campsite.

"I'm curious." Rainbow said walking next to Blazeheart. "How does a lieutenant firefighter get transferred to Ponyville? And don't think I didn't notice how you avoided the subject earlier, it wont work this time." "I suppose it isn't really a secret." Blaze said letting out a sigh. "Getting hurt on the job is part of being a firefighter, I'm good at my job so I get hurt more than the others. They can't really complain about me doing a good job, so I guess they figured sending me to a place like Ponyville would be healthy for me." "So you were being reckless." Rainbow said. "Reckless? I wasn't being reckless." Blaze said defensively. "I'm just very determined in doing a good job. I would never put anypony in danger by being reckless." "Then what about yourself?" Rainbow asked. "Sounds like you were putting yourself in enough danger for them to transfer you." "That's not the same!" Blaze said. "Putting myself in harms way to save other ponies is part of my job. If you think that's being reckless then fine, but I'd rather be reckless than risk not being able to help those ponies." "Look, I'm not saying you're not doing a good job, but you don't have to push yourself so hard that you get hurt every time you're doing it. I'm sure your friends and family care as much about you as you care about saving other ponies." "I don't expect you to understand, alright? Being a firefighter isn't the same as a laid back job like looking after the weather. You have to be determined to put your life in danger each and every day." "What has my job got to do with this!? Just because I have an easy job doesn't mean I don't understand! But being reckless is not the same as being determined. I respect you for putting your life on the line for other ponies, but being reckless about it and not caring if you get hurt while doing it isn't being determined! You're being selfish because you're not thinking about the ponies that care about you." "Selfish? Selfish!?" Blaze exclaimed. "Now I'm selfish for wanting to save other ponies!?" "I didn't say that! There are ponies that want to see you be safe as well and it just sounds like you're getting more hurt than is necessary to do your job." "Don't tell me how to do my job! I've trained long and hard to do my job to the best of my abilities!" "If you're so good at your job, then why did you get transfered!?" "Why!? Because..." Blaze thought foe a second. "Because you're all the same, you know that? You just can't leave me alone to do my job! You always think you know better even though it's me that's in there! I'm the one that has to face the fires! I'm the one that has to hear ponies call for help! I'm the one that has to act or risk the lives of others! You don't understand!" Rainbow was taken back. "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't..." "No!" Blaze said turning away from her. "I don't have to listen to you! I don't need this! Just... leave me alone so I can do my job!" He said and walked off into the jungle alone. "Fine!" Rainbow yelled after him. "Be that way! At least now I know how big a jerk you really are!" She hang her head and left the opposite way.

OOC: Can't stop reading... want to see where you take this BIC: Clyde lead her to the broken gnome. "I do feel something." Cher said. "I know...Creepy right?" Cher nodded. "Ok...Well I don't know what to do." Clyde looked suprised. "Really? But your the smartest pony I know. I was really hoping you'd know." Cher was suprised now. "You think im smart?" Clyde nodded. "Yeah. I wouldn't get anything done if not for you." Cher smiled. "Wow...thank you Clyde." Clyde smiled. "Don't mention it. Um...we should go before the snakes come." Cher's eyes widened and she gulped. "Good idea!" They headed back. Coconut readjusted himself where he sat and watched the clouds, the waves, and Flutterhsy who was a bit fidgety where she sat. Eventually she got up and, looking around the campsite, started sprucing up the place to give it a more aesthetic, homey, feel. Coconut once again found himself in a strange place between confused and conflicted but upon focusing on himself to troubleshoot why the feeling left. Fluttershy disturbed his concentration when she started putting tall and somewhat broad leaves all the way around the Shelter. The feeling of confusion returned again and from this Coconut found it had something to do with Fluttershy, though he was rather out of focus and couldn't tell what she had to do with it. Fluttershy's kind smile and little wave drew him back to his senses as he realized he was staring at her and he looked away and cleared his throat, kind of embarrassed that he got caught. "You ok?" She asked hearing him cough. "Yeah, just a tickle in my throat, nothing to be concerned about." Coconut deflected with a small smile to draw her off his trail. She bought it and nodded as she left to prettify the rest of the campsite, though she double took to make sure he was alright. She couldn't even tell how unusually comfortable she was being around him and Coconut, knowing how she usually acts with strangers, decided it best not to point it out in the pursuit of interpersonal understanding.

Blazeheart wiped the tears out of his eyes where he sat alone on the forest floor. He stood up and sighed. "Stupid!" He grumbled and bucked the tree behind him leaving a third hoofprint next to the two that he already made there. He sighed again and turned towards the camp. He looked around him and sighed once again before he picked one of the white flowers nearby him before heading back towards the beach.

OOC: IDEEEEAAAAAAAAA!!!
BIC: Coconut got up when Fluttershy finally sat down and looked around the campsite at her work. Coconut wanted to see it for himself. "I like what you've done with the places. It's funny how the little things can really add to such a big space." He said as a compliment since there wasn't much material to work with. "Thanks. I figured since Rainbow seems to be stuck at camp a lot and Cher doesn't want to leave we should make camp something they can enjoy being in." She said making a small adjustment to a leaf hanging off the shelter and nodded when she was satisfied with it's position.

Rainbow was sitting on the beach staring out at the ocean. There was marks all around her where she kicked the sand out of frustration. She was surprised to see Blaze walking towards her with a flower in his mouth. "What do you want?" She asked shortly. Blaze put the flower next to her and backed off a few feet. "A peace offering, to say that I'm really, really sorry." He told her. "Look I...!" Rainbow begun, but Blaze cut her off. "No, please." Blaze begun. "Let me just say this, please. I'm not good with this and I may not be able to do it if you talk first, please, just listen. You're right, I'm a jerk, a big jerk. But I'm a jerk that likes you and I had no right to do that to you." He sighed. "You're right, I'm reckless and I know that. You're not the first to tell me that and who I got mad at. And that's probably why I was really transferred, because I wouldn't listen and they must have thought that this was for the best. But I can't stop, I can't stop being reckless." He put a hoof next to his face. "The truth is that I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if I had to think about taking a safer way or worrying about getting hurt that I'd be too late too save those ponies on the other side. I'm afraid that if I think about the fire falling down on me or the cut on my side, I'd choke and I'd let those ponies down. I've tried to be more careful, I really have, but I can't. I've already lost my job, which I loved very much, because I didn't listen. And even if you don't like me more than just another guy in Ponyville, I don't want to loose that as well." He sighed a last time and sat down looking at the ground. After what seemed like an eternity Rainbow finally picked up the flower. "You know, I think I like this better than the guy trying to flirt with me." She said as a way of accepting his apology. "Thanks Rainbow." Blaze said. "You are... awesome." "I know." Rainbow smiled a little smile. "Let's go back to the camp before anypony starts to worry."

Clyde and Cher walked into camp. "No snakes." They said in unison. Coconut was whispering something into Fluttershy's ear when Clyde and Cher walked out of the forest. Coconut cleared his throat, "Well, seems a bit extreme to try and get over your Ophidiophobia and Gnomophobia at the same time but I assume it was successful?" He said making his way back to the Shelter. Fluttershy flew off into the direction they had gone that morning with a more determined look then normal on her face.

Coconut looked back at Rainbow with a smile and a wave, "Welcome back, Fluttershy is out... powdering her nose I believe is the term? and will be back shortly. I see collecting Firewood was a ravaging success, though flowers tend to whither and smoke it you put them in a campfire." He said sarcastically.

"The firewood!" Blaze said slapping a hoof to his head. "I completely forgot!" He turned around and quickly ran off. "I'll be right back!" Rainbow made her way to the fire. "Fluttershy went off to powder her nose, alone? On this island?" Rainbow asked skeptical.

"Well, I take solace in knowing that if you need to handle your business, you would take a complete stranger with you to be your body guard. Besides, I do know a little about Fluttershy and a forest is not the most dangerous place she could be. It's closer to home then it is for us." Coconut said flopping onto his back when he got under the shelter.
