Glad to see you guys are enjoying the story. This chapter will be mostly fluff and fun with animals. Yay. Please feel free to leave a review and any constructive criticism. Please enjoy chapter four.

Two ponies, one blue, one yellow lay in a big soft and comfy bed. They cuddled unknowingly under a warm butterfly cover enjoying the soft feeling of everything around them. All was peaceful in the quiet small cottage. Small rays of sunlight beamed through and shined on the back of the blue pony's head.

Rainbow Dash stirred slightly with an annoyed frown as she slowly and lazily opened her magenta eyes. She didn't want to wake from the soft warmth she felt around her. But had a nagging feeling she had to. Her vision was full of a beautiful shade of pink. Almost rose colored. She snorted from her nose as some of the pink was blown away. She raised her head slightly to try and make out where she was.

There lying in her arms was a beautiful sight to see in the early morning light. There, looking as peaceful and happy as can be was her best friend, Fluttershy. Part of her mane was blown backwards over her head. But besides that it was perfectly in place. Some of her canary yellow color returned to her sleeping face. Her mouth was slightly open forming a small o. The bags had left her eyes. In fact the only flaw Rainbow could make out on this cute little face was the dark tear stains that remained from the night before.

"Wow, She looks so good. I wish I could wake up every morning like this." She thought happily as she put her rainbow head back down on the pillow and closed her eyes and just breathe. She breathed in Fluttershy's scent. She smelled wonderful. Like flowers and grass and nature. She could even make out a small scent of honey on her. As she took another deep breath she noticed another smell. It smelled like carrots and alfalfa.

Then Rainbow Dash was rudely awakened by a series of hard smacks making contact with her forehead. "Buck, what the hell is that!" she cursed under her breath and looked up to see the culprit. There right above her head was an angry and hungry looking Angel Bunny. He sat there with his arms crossed, a mean little glare on his face. He looked a lot better then yesterday. His face was already cleaned up and his ears stood straight up.

Rainbow Dash just glared back at him with a snarl forming on her lips. "What was that for, rabbit?" He just thumped her head with his foot again and hopped back. He made a sign of a watch and pointed to his tummy. "Go feed yourself bunny butt." Dash whispered, trying to be quiet for Fluttershy.

The rabbit then made a sign as if he had wings and pointed to his pony owner. "Oh, right. I need to take Fluttershy to the hospital." She thought. He went to her and raised his foot, but then placed it back as if remembering her hard night. He then gently hopped onto her neck and gave her an Eskimo kiss with his little wiggling nose. This made Fluttershy giggle and flip on her back. She opened her blue eyes and blinked the last of her sleep away.

She smiled at her funny bunny as she held him in her hooves. "Good morning my little angel. How are you on this beautiful day" she then brought him close and rubbed noses with him once more. She giggled light heartedly as he tried to push her away with his tiny paws.

She tucked him in her arms and turned to an amused Dash again. She looked at the pegasus sharing her bed. "Oh, good morning to you to Dashie… DASH!" she squealed and almost fell out of bed in her shocked state.

"Woe, calm down Shy, it's only me" Rainbow tried to calm down her frantic friend. Fluttershy stuttered, "W-w-what are y-you d-doing in my b-b-b-b-bed! Did we do, do, do?" her voice rose in pitch with every stutter.

Rainbow raised her hooves in a defensive manner "We didn't do anything, honest. Remember? I found you and helped you and stayed the night so I can take you to the hospital today. You told me I could sleep in your bed."

Fluttershy's wings tried to open unexpectedly as she held them down in pain. She had a look of relief as she recalled the events of last night. She softly spoke, picking back up the dropped and clearly pissed off Angel Bunny. "Oh, right. Sorry Rainbow. Oh, and sorry I dropped you Angel sweetie." She apologized as she pet his whole body and tried to fix his ruffled fur.

"Hey, don't say sorry for that. I would probably freak to if I found another pony in my bed that I didn't remember." She joked and gave a hearty chuckle. "And don't feel too bad about dropping the rabbit." She thought and laughed in her mind. "So, let's feed these little trouble makers and then I will walk you to the hospital." Rainbow gave another glare to the white rabbit being pet.

"Ok. Are you sure you can handle all these animals by yourself? They can be a handful?" she asked carefully as if afraid she would offend her cyan friend. "Of course I can, I'm amazing. Besides, I hang out enough with you I'm sure your super cool animal handling skills have rubbed off on me. I can handle Tank just fine. I will be done feeding them faster then I clear clouds, I bet. Then I will take my sweet little filly to the doctor and fix up your wings so you will be back in the air in no time." Rainbow rolled her eyes and laughed at how sappy she sounded.

Fluttershy felt her cheeks heat up at being called Rainbow Dash's "sweet little filly". She wondered if Rainbow was serious about the terms she used on her. If she knew the feelings it set off in her. She did call her all those nice things last night, even called her beautiful. Fluttershy was sure she wouldn't lie to her about something like that. It made her feel really special to know that Dash thinks of her like that.

Did she even dare to hope that maybe, just maybe, Dash could return these feelings she felt. She lost herself in thought as her wings began to rustle a bit, sending pain throughout her slender frame. She grimaced and focused her attention back to her blue friend.

"Hey Shy, are you ok? You had that silly smile on your face like you did when we. When we, um, you know. When I yelled at you." Rainbow Dash trailed off and looked down to the ground in shame. She got off the bed and started walking around. "Never mind. Forget I said anything."

"Oh Rainbow, that was in the past. Please don't beat yourself up about. I won't hold it against you. Any pony, no any one could have made a silly mistake like that. We all say things when we are mad." The yellow mare said as she got out of her bed and walked slowly to the cyan mare.

"Fluttershy, I don't deserve you, or your forgiveness. You are too good to me, ya know that. I promise I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you." Rainbow said softly as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Listen Dashie, let's not worry about it now. I already forgive you completely. All I ask is that you stay my friend forever. I-I can't imagine a life without you." Fluttershy confessed as she looked at her friend with sad eyes.

Rainbow Dash gave her a smirk as she controlled herself. She closed the distance between them and looked deeply into the injured pegasus' eyes. "Fluttershy, I promise, I will never leave you. And I promise to never hurt you like that again." She said this with a genuine smile on her face as she raised a hoof and brushed it through the soft pink hair.

Fluttershy felt a warm feeling rise in her chest as her cheeks grew hotter. She felt so safe in her friend's caresses. She leaned her head a little into it as she closed her eyes. A sweet smile returned to her face once more as she enjoyed the moment that would end too quickly.

For Rainbow she really enjoyed running her hoof through her friend's mane. Fluttershy's mane felt fantastic under her hoof. It was probably the softest thing she ever felt. What she wouldn't give to press her face against it and just enjoy the feel and smell of it like she did when she first woke up.

The rainbow mane pegasus looked on with admiration at just how cute Fluttershy looked, enjoying a simple touch so eagerly. She seemed so receptive to every touch she made. "If this is how she acts if I touch her hair, imagine if I touched her some place else… NO, NO, NO, NO. Stop thinking that way. Come on she is your friend. Think of anything else. Er, flying, or fighting, yeah. Fighting that pesky rabbit." Rainbow Dash raged war in her mind for a second before she realized just how long she had maintained contact with her friend.

She pulled her hoof away, much to the dismay of a certain yellow mare and stood up tall. "Ok, enough fooling around. I'm gonna show off my animal caring skills and add another talent I can do. Amazingly of course." she flashed her friend a big smile as she rubbed a hoof against her own chest and struck a pose.

Fluttershy couldn't help but laugh at her secret crush's antics. Yet another reason she felt she could definitely love the Rainbow. "Haha, whatever you say, greatest animal care taker since, well, me. Hehe." Fluttershy laughed at her own silly try at being cocky. Dash really seemed to bring out a brave side of her.

Fluttershy lowered her gaze to look at Angel who stood patiently yet grumpily waiting for them to move down stairs. "Angel Bunny, will you be a dear and help Rainbow Dash feed the other animals. I will be down stairs making the three of us a very special breakfast. I will make your favorite salad." She said trying to sound as appealing to the creature as possible.

Angel made a frown and shook his head no. Fluttershy got on floor level and made big puppy dog eyes at her "baby". "Please baby Angel, for momma?" she begged ever so adorably.

Rainbow just looked on, "How can one pony be so freaking adorable? And why does she put up with that rabbit?" She thought. She was about to tell Fluttershy she doesn't need help when he shrugged and shook his head yes. Obviously cutting her some slack because of the whole ordeal last night.

Fluttershy stood back up and started walking towards the bathroom. "Thank you Angel. Now be a good bunny for auntie Dashie and do whatever she says. You know where all the food is and who gets what." She gave one smile at the duo and stepped in the bathroom, closing the door. She then thought, "Oh, how great they are finally getting along. I thought she might still be mad about being kicked last night. Oh, I do so hope they will be good friends and feed the animals well."

The blue pony and the white rabbit had their faces pressed against each other in what seemed a death glare match. Rainbow somewhat growled at the little rabbit. "Ok, ANGEL, now I don't like you. And you sure as hell don't like me. But we both like Fluttershy and want her to get better, right?"

The rabbit tilted his head back, his glare was replaced by a look of annoyance as he slowly shook his head yes. The cyan mare gave a crooked smile as she continued

"Alright then. Let's feed these animals with no problems so I can get her to the hospital as quick as possible so they can fix her wings." He rolled his eyes as he put up a paw to show he would help. He hated having to be nice to this annoying rainbow pony who always distracted his mother from what's important. Him, Angel! Well, he didn't have to be too nice he planned. She did make his momma cry after all.

They walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Fluttershy kept the bird seed and small animal feed. Angel pointed to the pictures on the bags and to their respected bowls and bird feeders. The blue pegasus looked at the white bunny, "K, so how many cups per bowl?" He showed two fingers from his tiny paws.

Dash did as instructed. The little critters and birds came out from their holes, beds, and nests to say hello and eat breakfast. They noticed their regular was replaced by some strange rainbow pony. She was bigger with her wings out and standing tall, looking, from a small animal's point of view, as a threat. They looked at the bunny who stood close by. He made a sign that she was an intruder and bad.

All the animals quickly went into defense mode to protect the home of their absent kindly care taker. The small mice and rats jumped and clawed lightly at her legs as they stood tall and growled.

"Hey, what the! Watch it you little rodents before I step on you." Dash flew up to get away, only to be attacked by birds. They swooped down and pecked at her hair, pulling it and squawking in her ears. "Jeez, lay off will ya. Stop screaming you're giving me a headache" Dash complained as she flew back and around trying to get some distance before she did something she might regret.

She landed and stomped her hoof on the ground. "Alright, quiet down and cut it out. Your owner isn't feeling good and she asked me to feed you, see!" she yelled and grabbed a nearby bag of bird seed. "I am TRYING to FEED YOU! Fluttershy told me to do it." She yelled again.

The animals looked to the trouble making bunny. He rolled on the floor, grabbing his sides making a silent laugh as happy tears spurted from his eyeballs. The animals grunted and rolled their eyes. This wouldn't be the first time the rebellious rabbit lied and pulled a prank on them.

They bowed their heads in an apology and waited patiently for the new pegasus to finish her duties. "That's better, jeez, what a pain in the flank you guys can be." Rainbow sighed and continued emptying, cleaning, and refilling the 30 odd some feeders and bowls. She then did the same for the 10 water dishes and sat back.

She wiped the sweat off of her brow and sighed. This is harder then she thought. "How does Fluttershy put up taking care of so many of you guys all the time?" Angel just played with his whiskers as he enjoyed seeing the blue pony working so hard. He could have helped, but bossing her around was way more fun. He was about to tap his foot to get her to get him a carrot when he heard hoof steps coming down the stairs.

"Oh my, good job Rainbow. Everything looks great." Fluttershy smiled nicely as she noticed the spilled seed all over her floor and little droplets of water scattered about. "Hello all of my little animal friends. Sorry I can't play with you today, but I uh, hurt my wings. But I have my best friend, Rainbow Dash here to feed you all. You have all been good for her, right. It's her first time taking care of so many of you."

They looked pleadingly to the blue pony and back at their usual care taker. They softly shook their heads yes with their usual chirps, squeaks, and various sounds as they eagerly went to their dishes to start breakfast. They did stop to give a small hug to their yellow pony friend which made Fluttershy grow a big smile.

"Oh, thank you. I will feel better soon. Thanks to Dashie and Angel here." She looked in Rainbow's direction with appreciation in her blue eyes. Dash wanted to tell her about her little incident, but decided not to worry her friend about it. They seemed sorry, and there was no real harm done. Besides, she much rather see her friend happy then sad.

"No problem Shy, told you I could handle all these critters. Easy as apple pie. Sorry for the mess though. Do you want me to clean it now, or later?"

"Oh no, I will get it, then make us something to eat. Did you feed the bigger animals outside yet? And the chickens? Do you want me to send Angel to help you with them?"

The rainbow pony looked at the little hellion in a bunny's body and back at Fluttershy. "Uh, no. How about he stays here and helps you make breakfast while I finish up out there?" she didn't wait for a yes as she made her way to the back door. She turned her head when she heard her shy friend speak. "Don't forget, the birds in the trees like to be fed earth worms."

"Yuck, gross. I'll do my best." She walked out to be met with the daunting task at hoof.

As Fluttershy finished the soup and salad combo she made she heard a big roar and a shrilled scream. She jumped up as she pulled out her wings and tried to fly. She fell back down in pain, but ignored it fearing her friend may be in trouble. She ran outside to see Rainbow Dash in the air and Harry the Bear standing on all fours below looking rather displeased.

Rainbow Dash's eyes grew large as she saw her friend walking towards the bear. "Fluttershy, run, he's going to eat you!" she swooped down and stopped as the bear lay down on his back as Fluttershy rubbed his belly. She landed next to her and wondered how she could forget that Fluttershy was friends with all woodland creatures.

"Oh, Rainbow Dash, sorry Harry the Bear scared you. He was just trying to tell you he was hungry." Fluttershy explained as she continued her belly scratches that made the bear melt.

Dash's eyes grew large as she muttered out, "Tell me! He snuck up behind me and nearly scared me half to death. Is having such a big bear in your backyard safe?" she looked a little frightened as the bear rolled over and stood tall yet again.

"Yes, but of course, Harry here is nothing but a big ol teddy bear. Aren't you Harry?" she then proceeded to scratch behind his ear as he shock his leg like a big dog. Rainbow Dash couldn't believe that the same scared old Fluttershy could just sit there and pet what had to be the biggest bear she ever saw. Fluttershy's ways with animals was truly magic in Dash's eyes.

"I'm sorry he scared you. Oh, Harry says he is sorry to" the bear made a loud grumble from deep in his chest that made Dash's fur stand on end. "He just wants his honey and toast. I must have forgotten to tell you he would be coming at this time. Sorry Dashie, silly me." Fluttershy said as she quickly walked back inside to fetch the bear's food, leaving Rainbow Dash alone with a huge bear.

"Silly me she says. I almost had a heart attack. Now calm down Dash, they can sense your fear" Dash thought and gulped as she watched the bear from a safe distance. The bear ignored her stares and looked at the door, licking his lips.

Fluttershy carried a big plate full of toast as Angel came out with a jar of honey. Fluttershy stumbled a bit with the plate, used to carrying big things like this in her hooves while she flew. Dash was by her side in a second as she balanced the other side of the plate with her mouth.

They placed it down in front of the excited bear as he sat there drooling. Angel pulled out a little butter knife and the bear took it. "What the?" Dash thought. The bear started on his food after making bear sounds towards Fluttershy.

"You're very welcome Harry. You are always welcomed here. And thank you, I will get better soon. My best friend, Rainbow Dash will be taking me to the hospital after we eat. Just call if you need anything." Then the two ponies and the rabbit walked back inside the home.

"I'm really sorry again Dash. Harry usually comes once a week, today. He can be intimidating, but he is a big softy. He would never hurt a pony. But I should have remembered to tell you." Dash stopped as she noticed the mess from the animals was all cleaned up. And on the dinning room table laid three cups of juice, a teapot, a big pot of some yummy smelling soup, and three salads. Two of the salads looked smaller and although yummy, looked pretty plain compared to the big one in the middle.

"I wonder who gets the big salad with the cherry on top?" The blue pony thought as she licked her lips. Angel was already in his spot devouring the scrumptious salad that the rainbow pony was eyeing.

Fluttershy piped in, "Oh yes, my big strong bunny sure loves his special salad. Momma made it just the way her brave bunny likes it. For being such a good helper and host to our guest." She gushed over the undeserving rabbit.

"No way she makes that for him all the time. I guess Rarity wasn't kidding about his special treatment. This is ridiculous." Rainbow tilted her head to the side and pondered. She heard her yellow friend giggle and looked at her. Fluttershy quickly hid behind her mane and turned red.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry I didn't have time to make us a proper breakfast. What with my wings and cleaning up and Angel's salad. I hope it will do?" Dash smiled warmly at her friend's shy ways. She was always so cute when she blushed and hid like that.

"Are you kidding? This looks great! I haven't had a spread like this put out for me since, well, that last dinner party. And this smells way better. You are a great cook and house keeper Shy"

Fluttershy just blushed more from the compliments. Rainbow raised a brow, "I'm gonna have to praise her more, this is too much fun and she is way to cute. Yes, I said it brain, cute." She laughed at herself as a playful smile formed.

"W-well, t-t-thank you Dash. I I I hope you um, well you know, like it and all. It was nothing, really. If you want I would love to, ugh, I would love to cook something special for you sometime. You are always welcomed to come over and eat. T-there is always plenty to go around. If you want that is." Dash rolled her eyes as Fluttershy, yet again, put down the great things she does and made it seem like nothing special. She decided to have a little fun with the timid mare and walked right up to her and sat in front of her.

She then stroked her up and down her arm and gave her a wink and then looked deeply into her eyes. "You know Shy, I mean it. You would make an excellent wife to some lucky pony." She wiggled her brows and flashed a smile.

Fluttershy hid behind her mane again and tried to make herself smaller as she let out a tiny eep. She was caught off guard but enjoyed the contact. But the look Dash gave her and the tone behind her suggestion excited her a bit. She wasn't scared, but excited. And embarrassed at being so.

Rainbow loved seeing her like this. All shy and cute. Does she know how cute she is when she is like this, it just isn't fair. Fluttershy tried to speak, but mostly came out as a mumble Rainbow had to strain to hear.

EEP! "T-t-thank you, D-d-dash. I. I mean it to. Please let me feed you. Oh, that doesn't sound right!" Shy stuttered and trembled a bit in embarrassment as her face turned as red as Big Mac.

Rainbow thought that was enough playing for one morning. "Hey, relax Flutters. It's only me. Come on let's eat so I can take you to the hospital." Rainbow Dash led the way to the table as Fluttershy slowly and meekly followed. They sat down as Rainbow served all three of them soup. She looked up in worry as Fluttershy was trying to rub her back at the base of her wings while making a pained face.

"What happened pal, your wings hurting?"

"Don't worry Dash. It's just when I heard you screamed it startled me and I tried to fly. I fell down and my wings hurt a bit. They must still be sensitive. Silly me." She tried again as she rubbed her neck this time. Wincing a bit.

"Oh no. I'm sorry Shy. Here, let me help." The blue pony hopped out of her seat and was behind the sitting yellow pony. She stood on her hind legs and placed her hooves gently on her shoulders and softly rubbed from the sides, then up and down her neck. Fluttershy instantly relaxed at the massage and started moaning softly in pleasure at the touch.

"Ok, why is that turning me on?" Dash thought as she pushed the dirty thoughts out of her mind to pay attention at the task at hand. She had to help Fluttershy feel better. She had unintentionally caused her more pain and may have made her injury worse. She rubbed her neck and shoulders for five minutes before stopping. She would have done her back, but was nervous about her wings.

"Better?" "Yes, much better. Thank you. That really helped my headache to. You could teach aloe and lotus a thing or two on massage." The timid mare said as she looked up at her friend, secretly wishing she would continue.

Dash laughed, "Yeah right, good one Shy. Well I'm glad I could help." With that she got back on all fours and went back to her seat. They all happily ate there food in a comfortable silence. Even Angel seemed pleased and behaved.

Dash woofed her food down so fast, she never even looked up. This food was so good. She would do anything to get another meal. Maybe she could convince her friend on trading meals for massages? It seemed like a win/win for her. Get a full tummy and put your hooves on the prettiest filly in Ponyville.

"Oh my gosh Shy. No joking, that has got to be the best soup and salad I ever had. Yeah Pinkie can bake. Applejack to, But this was way better. The flavors were so strong and mixed together so well. It totally hit the spot. I never knew you were such a great cook." Fluttershy smiled and blushed at the compliments.

"Really, it was nothing special. Just a quick recipe I make when I'm short on time. I promise to make you something real nice one of these days. I can make us a real special and tasty dinner." She said

"Fluttershy my pal, you know I will be there. Nothing can stop me from getting some of this good stuff." The rainbow pegasus laughed as she rubbed her full tummy. She then got up and took the plates and left them rinsing in the sink. "Ok. I will come back later and clean the dishes for you. And don't even try to argue, it's only fair. You cooked, so I will wash. But first we got to take you to see a doctor."

They looked at the time, an hour and forty seven minutes since they woke up. They better hurry. As they walked out the door Fluttershy looked back at her furry bunny and smiled. "Now Angel Bunny, you are in charge while we are gone. Please make sure everyone is taken care of. If you do, I will get you a big juicy carrot. And please pick up after Harry for me." She stated as she put her wallet full of bits into the saddle bag Rainbow Dash was carrying for her.

They bunny eagerly shook his head yes. He ran up and gave her leg a big hug, hiding the tear that rolled down his cheek. "Don't worry Angel, momma will be just fine. The doctor will fix me right up, you'll see. Say goodbye to all my animal friends for me."

With this final statement she closed the door. Angel stood for a moment longer, as he silently hoped that his mother will be alright, not just physically, but emotionally.

There is chapter four. I really like writing all the animal scenes. I hope to be building up their relationship with tender moments and comedy. The next chapter will be more serious as they go to the hospital. Tell me what you think. Well I'm going to sleep. Hope you all liked and good night.
