"Perhaps that's not where you're needed anymore." Coconut said bluntly, "But that's not an issue to discuss now, partly due to the fire being up and the party starting shortly and partly because here comes the girls." He said throwing a friendly smile at Fluttershy and Rainbow as they made their way over...
a few minutes earlier...
After tying the cloud down between a couple leaves so it wouldn't fly off, Fluttershy gave a sigh and looked over to the rising smoke, "Looks like the fires up. Let's see how the other preparations are going?" She said making her way to the smoke pillar.

Rainbow tied down her cloud and headed over to fire with Fluttershy. Blaze was getting visibly nervous as the girls approached and tried keeping himself busy with the fire.

With the girls approaching Fluttershy was about to speak when everything stopped moving. Color became less saturated and it appeared all time had stopped. A gnome was standing between Clyde and Cher with it's evil grin fixed to it's face. Clyde and Cher unfroze and immediately looked in horror at the gnome between them, "I knew you were evil!" Clyde shouted at it. It didn't move, or speak but you could tell there was something off. Chills ran down there spines as the monster within the gnome laughed within itself. "now you're mine... don't worry... you wont be missed..." it though to itself and a stream of white smoke left the four remaining, and still frozen, ponies ears. It melded into a small white pearl which seemed to collapse on itself and create a black hole. Clyde and Cher were powerless to avoid it's pull and screamed as they disappeared into the darkness. The gnome was gone as were Clyde and Cher. Fluttershy, Rainbow, Coconut, and Blaze had had every memory of Clyde and Cher removed from their heads and a swift and strong headache insured in all four of them from having the memory so forcefully removed. The only evidence they were ever on the island was the extra beds in the shelter and the roped nopony had any memory of making, or having been made. Coconut and Fluttershy stopped in their tracks and rubbed their heads as they tried to calm their heads. "Jeez, what was that..." Coconut said looking around and trying to figure out what hit him in the face. At least that's what it felt like just happened. "I don't know but I need a drink of water." Fluttershy said turning around to get water from the camp. She found a bunch of drinks made up on a table of sorts beside the fire, "Who made these drinks?" She asked smelling them to try and figure out what they were. OOC: Raider approved of this type of post specifically to give our characters the go ahead. They're detectives, they'll get out of it.

ooc: I still feel bad for Clyde and Cher though. "I'm not sure." Rainbow said taking one of the drinks and drinking it to ease her headache. "Didn't Blaze make it, I remember him making drinks." Blaze rubbed his head and felt the flower in his mane, he pushed through the headache for now and walked up to the girls. "Are you alright?" He asked them. "Yeah." Rainbow answered. "I just have one hay of a headache right now."

Fluttershy grabbed a fruit drink, "I think we'll be ok. What are the odds all four of us would have headaches this bad at the same time?" Fluttershy said with a laugh to lighten the mood. The drink was actually helping stem the headache for now and it seemed to be a fast fading thing on it's own. Coconut was sitting and staring into space at the fire. His psychological perspective didn't allow him to take this as a mere coincidence and he was thinking about it from every point of view.

"Maybe I put some weird plant in the fire by accident when I got firewood." Blaze said. "That could explain the headaches."

"That makes sense." Fluttershy said taking another sip. She walked up to Coconut holding a spare drink, "You should drink this, it'll help the headache." Coconut turned to Fluttershy and put on a generous smile, "Thanks. I guess since the parties almost ready we should wait for sunset. That'll give our heads a moment to settle and whatever plant is in the fire to burn out." He said getting up and walking to their campfire, leaving the bonfire to do its thing. It could still be seen from the campsite, through the opening in the forest.
OOC: We'll give our characters a couple moments to talk idly and pick a new singer (probably fluttershy) and we can start our mini party after that.

Blaze took the flower out of his mane and handed it to Rainbow. "The last one was a peace offering, I'm hoping this one will convince you to dance with me? Maybe?" He asked nervously. "You know." Rainbow Dash looked at him. "I don't really wear flowers in my mane." She took the flower from him and put it in her mane. "So don't get used to this." Blaze beamed and he couldn't help smiling at Rainbow's approval, while Rainbow just laughed at his silly expression.

Coconut laughed, "Good, cause if you two didn't dance I was going to conspire with Fluttershy to push you two into each other during the song. It would be cruel to play a slow song... right of the back at least... so let's start with something upbeat." He said picking up the Banjo again and strumming it to make sure it was still in tune. Once satisfied he started a song with a little banjo solo to build to mood and pace of the environment. Fluttershy sat next to Coconut and bobbed her head to the music as it created a happy setting (ever heard the opening for "come on eileen"? That's kind of what he's playing )

"Oh really!" Rainbow Dash said moving in behind the drums and joining into the beat. "Then maybe you and Fluttershy should take the first turn at dancing, to show us how it's done." She said with a grin and nodded to Blaze to take one of the instruments, which he did.

Coconut just smiled, "How about a song to set things up first. Would be nice with we could enchant the instruments and let them play themselves." Coconut stood up on on his hind legs and started to play for real and Fluttershy instinctively began to sing, already knowing the song to be a hit by Sapphire Shores.

Blaze took an instrument and joined in as best he could. Rainbow joined Fluttershy in singing, being familiar with the song herself, while still playing the drums. oc: It's a good thing everypony can sing in the show.

After playing through a few verses, Coconut was the first to get up and start bouncing around the fire, singing a few lyrics here and there. There weren't many movements he could do while holding a banjo but he tried his best. Fluttershy, not wanting him to be singled out, was next up and danced with him, bouncing around the fire and continuing to sing the song all the while. They didn't seem to notice how close they were dancing at times, even getting in each others face to sing a part of the song together or standing back to back during the instrumental part of the song. Soon enough Coconut stopped playing long enough to gesture a hoof for Rainbow and Blaze to join them.

Rainbow got up and walked over to Blaze. "You need to join in the singing if you want to have fun." She told him. "But I don't really sing very well." Blaze said a little embarrassed. "You're going to have to sing today." Rainbow told him. "If you want to dance with me." "But, I thought you already would dance with me?" Blaze asked surprised. "I never said I would." "That's not fair." "I don't always play fair." Rainbow smiled at him. Blaze got up determined. "If I sing you'll dance with me?" "Yeah." Rainbow grinned at him. "No matter how bad I sound?" "No matter how bad you sound." "Alright." Blaze cleared his throat and started singing, which wasn't that bad at all, and Rainbow took her cue and joined in with him.

Coconut and Fluttershy smiled at each other when they saw Rainbow and Blaze singing together and danced all the merrier. The badger from earlier came back with about five moneys beside him but he didn't disrupted their party, instead he waited for someone to notice him.

After the song Rainbow called to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, I think your friends are here to see you." She nodded towards the badger.

Fluttershy was laughing with Coconut when the song was over. She heard Rainbow and started towards the badger. Coconut took the opportunity to get drinks, nudging Blaze as he made his way and gesturing his head towards the drink table. Fluttershy was listening to the Badger chitter and chat while moving its arms to match what it was saying.

"Oh yeah! Thanks." Blaze whispered to Coconut and run to the drink table, getting two drinks that he balanced on his back.

Fluttershy walked back up to Rainbow, "Looks like Mr. Badger got some monkeys that can play instruments to play with us if we pay them in cooked fruit. I can make some later and it'll free up our hooves to party more. What do you think?"
"Having fun?" Coconut asked blaze taking a sip of his drink and slowly making his way to the girls.

"Yeah sure!" Rainbow agreed. "And I'm sure Blaze will fry some fruit for us later so no need for you to worry about it."
"I'm not about to complain." Blaze answered Coconut with a big smile.

Fluttershy told the badger that they were good for it and he in turn told the monkeys they were good to go. The monkeys went around manning the instruments, Fluttershy willingly handing over their Panflute and Banjo. Coconut had made it up to Rainbow and Fluttershy, "Here, we got drinks." Coconut handed the still full drink to Fluttershy, "So you got us a band I see." Coconut said looking over to the monkeys testing out the instruments. "Yeah, it was Mr. Badger's idea."

"Here you go Rainbow." Blaze handed her one of the drinks. "Thanks." Rainbow told him. "This is great." Blaze said as the animals took up the instruments. "Now we'll be able to dance without worrying about music." "Yes, now we can have that dance I promised you." Rainbow said smiling and rolling her eyes, but then looked at Blaze. "You do know how to dance right?" "I know how to dance." Blaze told her. "I mean, I'm not super good or anything, but I can hold my own."

"I am curious to see how you and Fluttershy dance." Coconut told Rainbow and the monkeys, having warmed up, started playing a jazzy upbeat tune with plenty of energy and hype to get into the music quickly. "Hmm, we didn't tell them a genre to stick too... I guess it can't go too badly." Coconut added with a smile. He and Coconut took a seat beside the bonfire and worked on their fruity beverages. There was a cool sea breeze blowing across the beach, making for good contrast for the warmth of the fire. Coconut wanted to start a conversation but, for once in his life, couldn't think of the words to say and again that feeling of confusion and confusing feeling sparked in his chest drawing his attention back to himself. He figured letting it run wild would be the best way to analyze this thing he's never felt before and as such did nothing. Instead, he turned back to Fluttershy and started a little conversation solely for the sake of talking. He was so bled for topics that they talked about what they would do if they didn't have the words to say. Fluttershy continued her drink and carried her friendly conversation with Coconut. She couldn't even see how close she was to him or how open she acted. It just seemed to come naturally. She talked about how she often didn't have anything to say and thought it best to remain quiet until the moment was right. They continued to talk like this until their drinks were empty. OOC: I know, it's bad. I've gotta work with what I've got

"Oh! You wanna show?" Rainbow answered Coconut. "We can do that! Let's go Blaze!" Rainbow pulled Blaze with her to the fire and he followed willingly. The two of them started dancing and soon forgot the two spectators as they got into it. They matched each other well and laughed as the music continued until the end. "You're not bad Blaze." Rainbow smiled as they walked over to Fluttershy and Coconut. "Thanks." Blaze smiled a the compliment. The animals started playing a more medium paced song, not as hyper, but still bouncy. "Your turn." Blaze told Fluttershy and Coconut. "Yeah." Rainbow agreed. "We'll make turns and the first to back out, loses." She grinned at the two sitting by the drinks.

Coconut and fluttershy laughed a bit. Coconut got up and turned to Fluttershy. "Shall we?" he said with hoof outstretched. Fluttershy nodded and took his hoof as they both walked out to the center of the floor by the fire. They stood on their hind legs with their front hooves pressed against each other. In a split second they at it with a high paced waltz of sort hat was perfect for the song. When Coconut would spin Fluttershy her mane and tail would hug tight to her hips and neck and flip out of touch Coconut lightly. again they were getting physically close as wasn't accustomed to Fluttershy and in this case not even normal for Coconut. They continued on until the song came to an end and went, a little winded, to join Rainbow and Blaze. The band took a break and helped themselves to a drink each as well. There were quite a lot for some reason.

Rainbow was looking at the two dancing with a confused look. "Are you alright?" Blaze asked her. "Yeah, it just that Fluttershy doesn't usually..." Rainbow answered and paused. "It's nothing. These drinks aren't alcoholic, are they?" "I think it'll take a bit of doing to get alcohol on a deserted island." Blaze laughed. "I don't think you've got anything to worry about." After the dance Rainbow waited for their turn as the animals finished their break, not wanting to be outdone so easily.

"Wonder what they will play next?" Coconut said taking a seat in the little huddle made by the four ponies. Fluttershy was next to him and Blaze. "Makes me glade I took those dancing classes as a young colt." He added with a laugh. Fluttershy looked over to Rainbow, "We'll probably need a few more drinks of a less fruity origin. I'm going to get some water from our little stash and set it aside on the table." She said and went off to do just that.
OOC: You can que in the monkeys when you're ready.

ooc: I was hoping you'd choose the next song, but if you insist. The monkeys started playing a slow love song, ideally for dancing really close. Blaze become almost instantly nervous, but Rainbow moved over to the fire. "Come on Blaze, it's our turn." "Su... sure!" Blaze said and ran up next to her. Rainbow lowered her head towards his. "Can you close dance?" She asked in a whisper. "No, I don't have much experience with that." Blaze admitted. "Me neither, so we better come up with something quick." Rainbow told him. "We can't let them win this easily." They got to the dancing spot and stood across each other. Rainbow moved in closer to him until they were shoulder to shoulder and their necks crossing. "What next?" Rainbow asked Blaze.

Coconut turned to watch the two in their dance as Fluttershy came back with four cups of water on her back and sat them in the sand. She sat next to Coconut and also watched Blaze and Rainbow. She took up a cup and handed it to Coconut and then grabbed her own and the two drank in silence watching the scene unfold.

"They're looking at us." Rainbow told Blaze. "We better do something quick." Blaze took a deep breath and released it. "Alright." He said closing his eyes. "Follow my lead." Blaze leaned into Rainbow until their necks touched, which surprised her briefly. He then gently pushed against her so they would start circling and she followed suit, keeping pace with him. Blaze put a hoof on her shoulder to lead her into him so they would be side by side. Everything was a little rough and not completely in sync with the rhythm of the music, but once they started sidestepping to the music together the spirit of the song took over and they flowed closer to the rhythm. They didn't do anything complex, just sidestepping, a spin, circling neck to neck, an embrace, a spin and side against side again. But the simplicity matched the pureness of the song, making the dance a wonder to watch.
