Fluttershy looked on kinda of awestruck that Rainbow could slow dance in any way especially since it required her to follow someone elses lead let alone move slowly or get quite that close to anypony. She was then struck with the realization that she had been doing the same with Coconut and started to look over to him. Coconut had started looking over to her as well she he had the feeling of wanting to dance with her which surprised him as much as the moment they locked eyes and both of them averted in opposite directions at breakneck speed, blushing ever so slightly. Coconut gave a fake cough and stood up, "I think I'll go grab a fruity drink at the table, want one?" he asked without looking around and it was almost like he could hear her shake her head no ever so lightly as he went off to the table. With them apart they were both left to their thoughts for a moment and had stopped watching Rainbow and Blaze entirely.

The music stopped and it took Rainbow a moment to realize before she gave a flap of her wings and landed a step back from Blaze. "Ha! We did it!" She said exited and looked at Blaze. "Are you crying?" "No!" Blaze said and wiped away a stray tear. "I just got caught up in the moment. I'm just overjoyed that I'm able to dance with an amazing mare like you." Rainbow blushed. "Well, you're certainly getting better at flirting." She said. "I thought you never slow danced?" "I haven't." Blaze told her. "I remember my parents doing it a long time ago and tried to imitate what I thought dancing close together would be like." "You did a great job winging it." Rainbow laughed as the two started back to Fluttershy.

Coconut came back to the group as they closed in on Fluttershys location, "Well, I have no problem saying Blaze and Rainbow won the dance off. You?" Fluttershy shook her head no. "Then it's settled. Drinks for the winners." Coconut held a tray with four cups of juice with apple wedges on the edge of the cup. "So what next? We don't exactly have a curfew or work in the morning to look forward to so the night is ours tonight.

"Giving up already?" Rainbow asked Coconut. "Where's your spirit for competition?" Blaze took his drink. "Thanks." He said taking a quick sip from it. Rainbow did the same and thank him for her drink as well. "We still have a band." She said. "And dancing is still an option even if we don't make a sport of it."

"I don't think my competitive spirit could hold a candle to yours." He said and looked over to the band. They were discussing the next song amongst themselves. "Guess we've got a couple minutes until they start the next one. Blaze, wanna come with me and get some light snacks together? Drinks are nice but something more solid might be nice too." Fluttershy waited for the group to come to a decision on what to do next.

"Sure!" Blaze told Coconut. "Maybe we should get a stew started. We have enough fruit and a few veggies to make something nice." Rainbow sat down next to Fluttershy as the two colts walked off.

Cocout nodded and went to their campfire which would be better for cooking.
"Some party hmm, Seems it really lifted everyponies spirits." Fluttershy said taking a sip of her juice.

"Yeah, until now." Rainbow replied. "It looked like you were really letting yourself go when you danced, so why so reserved now? Is something wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I guess I just surprised myself is all." Fluttershy said with a little smile. "I saw you and Blaze getting soo close slowdancing and then I thought back on how I was doing the same with Coconut. I just thought it was a little wierd. Heh."
"Some dance off, huh Blaze." Coconut said putting a couple more sticks on the fire to ensure it was hot enough. "Seems you can really hold your own."

"I know what you mean." Rainbow told Fluttershy. "I was kinda surprised too when I danced with Blaze. At first I just went along with it to not back out, you know? But somewhere in the dancing I got lost in it. It's hard to describe, it was cool, but not the usually 'cool', a different 'cool'." Rainbow looked down at her drink and her mood fell a bit. "I just don't know if this is alright though, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing."
"I was improvising mostly." Blaze told Coconut. "It's what I do best. Run into the fire head long and figure out what to do about the danger as I go. Leaves you with a lot of scars though. Seems like you and Fluttershy was having fun, why did you want to stop dancing?"

Fluttershy looked over to her friend, "The right thing? I don't think you're doing anything wrong so why wouldn't this be the right thing?" She asked just as much curious as concerned.
Coconut gave a small laugh, "What I've learned is that you don't play a game you can't win. In the ancient game of Go to concede defeat before you officially lost was seen just as honorable as winning through skill." Once satisfied with the fire he grabbed a large flat of wood and placed it on the fire, "Let's get some fruity goodness on this hot plate before it becomes ash. Anyway, I'm curious how you know you should be going after Rainbow. Most of the time ponies I talk with either are or aren't in a relationship. Their not in the in between stages like you are."

Rainbow sighed. "I kinda like Blaze, you know? He's a cool guy. But you know when we talked about Twilight being the fist of us to get a special somepony? Well, I don't know if it's just because of that, that I'm, possibly, thinking of Blaze in that way. I don't want to end up hurting him just because I'm a little jealous of Twilight, it really seems that he likes me."
"A word of advice." Blaze told Coconut. "Don't say that to a firefighter. We play a game we can't win every day and they may take what you said the wrong way." He smiled and patted Coconut on the shoulder. "How do I know I should be going after Rainbow?" Blaze thought about it a bit. "I guess the answer is: I don't. I want to go after her, I choose to do so. When I saved her after she saved somepony else I knew that she wasn't going to be the type to be impressed by me just because of what I do. I knew that she was going to have to like the real me and that's what I want to show her. I guess you could call it 'love at first sight', it's corny, but I think it's worth going after something like that."

"Then I don't think you have anything to worry about. It would be different if keeping up with Twilight was your only reason with involving yourself with Blaze but since he seems to like you I don't think there's anything to worry about. He also seems strong enough to be let down if things aren't right." Fluttershy tried to reassure Rainbow.
"And that's why I'm not a firefighter. Perhaps a dispatch if I was that desperate to be in said line of work." Coconut closed his eyes to take in what Blaze said then laughed a little out of nowhere, likely at one of his own thoughts, "I'll keep a note of that. Love at first sight huh? well from what I see if two ponies are meant to be and the only reason they met was because one had a love at first sight experience then it must be both true and good. I have no reason to doubt it." He looked up at the onset of evening splitting the sky half orange and half beep blue, "beautiful." He sorta stared into space at this point while thinking to himself, like everything else disappeared.

"I don't know." Rainbow said. "My feelings are all a little confusing right now and I don't want to make the wrong decision because of it. You're always trying to become more open to others Fluttershy, would you try and have a special somepony if you could?"
Blaze left Coconut to his thoughts as he continued with the stew.

"Well, umm..." She tried to think of the right words to say, "I think that since I communicate with the animals so naturally that I'll come by a special somepony just as naturally. I won't need to try and find him if there's the right guy out there for me." She said trying to not too directly describe the moment she was just having with Coconut.
Coconut continued to think then got up, "I'm gunna handle a job out in the forest, brb." he continued into the forest without another word.

"That's what I mean." Rainbow told Fluttershy. "If the right guy comes along, are you going to try and be assertive and go for it or rather hold back and see how things go? You know me, I'm always trying to go for it, but maybe it's not the right thing to do in this situation."
"Alright." Blaze told Coconut as he left. "Be careful and shout if you need anything!"

"Well, I'm no expert on relationships but I know if you love a pet it will only love you back is and when it wants to. You can't force it. If Blaze it already going after you then it falls on you to decide to go after him as well but you're right that you need to be sure you want to. Maybe Coconut could help. He's a psychiatrist after all and would probably point you in the right direction better then one with no experience on the matter." Fluttershy said looking over to where the guys were off in the distance but didn't see Coconut, "Wherever he is."
Coconut handled his business and was on his way back, still thinking to himself all the while, "I wonder if that's it. Have I actually fallen for somepony? It's definitely not something your books prepare you for." he said with a little laugh then looked up at the first couple stars appearing in the sky, "Maybe I'll just sit back and watch myself and her and see what happens." He said nodding to himself and walking back into camp. "How's the stew coming?" he asked blaze, walking up beside him.

Rainbow pulled a hoof through her mane. "I'm not really comfortable talking to psychiatrists, I'd rather ask my friends. But I think I get what you're saying."
"Almost done!" Blaze answered Coconut as he stirred the stew.

Yes, well. As far as I'm concerned I think It'll be pretty obvious if I have a special somepony out there and I'll probably pursue them if they come after me. I view it as a different type of love then that shared between friends or a pet and their owner. I think it would be interesting. Not to say I wouldn't be apprehensive about it, even you are." She said getting up, "Want a fruit drink? I don't think they'll hold till morning if we don't finish them tonight?"
Coconut took a big whiff, "Shame we can't get ingredients this fresh and exotic in Ponyville. I'd love to make this at home."

"Yeah, thanks." Rainbow took one of the drinks. "No wonder Twilight was the first of us to get a special somepony, this is all so complicated that only she'd understand it." Rainbow laughed.
"I guess you could make it with apples and other flowers they grow around Ponyville." Blaze told Coconut. "Those seems to be fresh, although not exotic. So what did you go do in the forest?"

"I think Twilight and Broly make their own rules to follow in a relationship since their both naturally inclined to be thinkers and stuff." Fluttershy said walking over and grabbing two more drink there were only four more smaller cups left. She could smell the Stew as she came back to Rainbow, "Seems the guys can really cook. It sure smells good."
"Had a lot to eat and drink these past two day so it would be expected I would need to break away eventually. and that would be a magnificent monster within itself but at it's core not the same. It's not a matter of making a good stew it's about making this stew." he took another nosefull of auromatic goodness, "Anyway I think you've made the best dish of the shipwreck."

"That's kinda unfair of them then, making up their own rules." Rainbow huffed and took a good smell. "Smells great. Glad they got stuck here with us, I'm not that good with cooking."
"Oh, answering the call of the wild in the wild huh?" Blaze laughed. "Thanks, I guess being a firefighting bachelor comes in handy in weird situations like this. If I get stuck on an island every month I wouldn't mind being transferred."

Fluttershy just laughed, "Maybe I should teach you to cook then? Guys like that." she said figuratively poking fun as Rainbow and literally poking her in the shoulder. "Being one of the few psychiatrists in Equestria I technically cover three cities so going from Manehattan to Ponyville isn't much of a transfer to me. More like a business trip. I do prefer Ponyville to the other two though." Coconut said and started getting out a bunch of wooden plates for them to use. Enough for the ponies and the band to have a taste." OOC: I like how we're fully outfitted with everything we need. Such a boring island there's no struggle for survival at all .

ooc: LOL! "Well, you know, if I do go out with Blaze I wouldn't need to cook." Rainbow joked to get back at Fluttershy. "Oh wow." Blaze said impressed. "So you're kind of a big deal around Equestria, I wouldn't have guessed, no offense. You're not falling behind with your work being trapped here, are you?"

Fluttershy laughed then looked to her drink, "Seems like it would be nice." She took a sip and puckered a little bit, this particular beverage being a tad more tart then the rest.
"I'm needed where I'm needed. You don't hear of many mentally ill ponies do you? Most can go about there daily lives with relative ease. I get called in when they can't. And every doctor has their set of nurses. I'm sure they can handle things while I'm gone. I'm sure their glad to not need to try and get in contact with me." Coconut said with a laugh, "Hopefully you going missing right after being transferred doesn't negatively effect your job at the station." He said lining the plated up on a fallen palm tree.

"Shall we go see how far the guys are with dinner?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that." Blaze told Coconut. "Ponyville's firefighters didn't even have a lieutenant until now. I'm sure the the ponies there are glad the new guy isn't there to order them around and have them do insane drills all day long, and I'd do that."

"Let's" Fluttershy said starting over to where the guys were parked.
"Heh, drill Sargent." Coconut said to himself. He saw the girls coming up, "Seems some hungry mouths have come to get some food. Is it ready?" He said looking back to Blaze.

Rainbow followed next to Fluttershy. "Yup!" Blaze told Coconut and moved the stew to the edge of the fire. "If you grab some bowls I can serve it up."

Coconut gestured to the row of deep plates set aside on the log. He started grabbing them one at a time and holding them out for food.

Blaze served up the stew one at a time, making sure to get a good helping for each of them and there was still some left over.
