After spending much of the previous day getting ready for today Rarity and Fluttershy came to a stop in front of Naruto's door. The former was dressed in a white ruffle front blouse and a nice set of black dress pants. In her hand she carried a Silver Snowflake.

Fluttershy was dressed in a red cold shoulder flutter top, showing off a hint of her cleavage and her shoulders with a set of light blue jeans. Fluttershy herself was carrying a Skyline yellow rose.

So when Naruto opened the door he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. "Hello darling, would you do us the honor of allowing us to court you for the day?"

Naruto couldn't help but still feel a bit weird. "I would love to Rarity, Fluttershy." He said as he took the flowers. This of course was one of the long standing traditions. A mare who was interested in courting a stallion would present him with a flower of the same or a similar coloration of her coat. If he accepted the flower than he was acknowledging he was interested in the courtship. After storing away the flowers he left the house, a mare on each arm. "You two look fabulous."

"Thank you." Fluttershy replied with a faint blush.

"Just wait until you see us later." The playfulness in Rarity's voice only made Naruto more anxious. To his surprise he was escorted to Fluttershy's cottage.

"Now our deal gentlecoat you just sit and relax, and allow Fluttershy and I to prepare breakfast." She insisted as she and her friend disappeared into the kitchen.

For a moment Naruto considered suggesting he was fine with helping, but decided that maybe he should just simply do what they wanted. They were going through the effort of wowing him so he figure he could at least enjoy it.

Well, since they were in the kitchen he could at least set the table. He had been over Shy's enough times to know where the items were stored. So going over to the cabinet he went to work setting up the table. He had finished and sure enough a few minutes later Rarity came in and saw the table was set. If she was surprised she didn't show it.

"Well my dear gentlestallion breakfast will be served momentarily."

"Looking forward to it."

Breakfast was soon brought out and Naruto instantly recognized the Phrench items. "Starting today with a little culture huh?" He asked as a knowing smile formed on Rarity's face. Almost instantly Fluttershy had recognized the comment as a little in-joke between her friends.

The three of them promptly dug in, their meal and brought a smile to his face. Naruto couldn't help but notice the cute little way Fluttershy took small bites out of her meal.

Naruto nonetheless happily enjoyed the meal that they made. He waited until they were done before helping clear the table. "I have to say you girls really outdid yourself."

"Well darling if you enjoyed it that much then you will be in for a treat for the rest of the day."

Despite their assistance otherwise Naruto helped with drying the dishes. "Well, now that everypony is fed let's go for a walk. It is quite lovely out today."

"That sounds marvelous."

"Sure let's go."

With that Naruto opened the door for the mares and then they were off. They were treading along the path, making small talk. "So I'm curious, when will the Princesses expect you to start being on active duty?"

"As soon as I complete my jutsu the Hirashin."

"And that will allow you to travel between Canterlot and Ponyville in an instant?" Rarity couldn't help but be fascinated every time Naruto discussed one of his jutsu. The applications for them were absolutely astounding.

"Indeed. I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to convert it into a working formula via magic. While I know it had positive applications I have to keep in mind the negative applications that it can also be used for it."

"Well it would be rather convenient. Transporting from place to place in a flash could help many businesses, but there are those who would unfortunately abuse such a thing."

"Not to mention there will probably be those who will try and find some way to try and turn a profit off the process or try and limit its use to everypony."

"Well if that one would cause problems you could always go with other ones." Fluttershy suggested.

"Yeah, it all comes down to which ones that won't end up being converted for harmful practices." The three of them continued to walk along the path, watching the rich scenery blend into the forest green hills and melt into the blue sky above.

After about an hour of simply walking around and enjoying nature Rarity suggested they continue on to the next part of the date they had planned.

Wouldn't you know it, they were on their way to the spa. The trio stepped through the threshold of the spa's doors and slowly made their way to the counter.

Rarity gave Aloe a large smile, "Good morning Aloe, we're here for the appointment is set up. "

"You have arrived right on time Miss Rarity." Aloe answered her voice sophisticated or maybe posh was a better term.

Aloe alongside her sister ran the Ponyville spa. Like her sister she herald from a north-east providence which was highlighted by her accent. Six feet in height the pink coated pony wore a white t-shirt with their spa's emblem, consisting of two half circles, one with her cutie mark on it, a white lotus flower and the other with her sister's mark hovering above a pair of hands. It hugged her torso quite snugly. She also wore a medium length white skirt. To complete her outfit she wore a white head band in her light blue mane.

Her ocean blue eyes seemed to warm as she set her eyes on Rarity's companion. "Miss Fluttershy, Mr. Naruto, always pleasant to see you again. My sister has just finished preparing the rooms. If you will follow me." She indicated as she moved from behind the desk, escorting them towards the main dressing room in the spa, making small talk as they walked.

"So Miss Fluttershy if you do not mind me asking, how was it being a model?" Aloe questioned as they closed in on the dressing room doors.

"Noisy, hectic, not to mention the lack of privacy. Sorry, I don't like to talk about it, if you're okay with that." Unfortunately liked the Pegasus had hoped, the fact that she up and stopped being a model didn't mean that everypony would simply just forget. It only just increased the amount of attention she got, with many presumptuous colts thinking that she would simply just jump at the chance to date them.

"Understandable. It is a world that loses its appeal once one spends a great deal of time in it. My niece Vera is a maniac when it comes to trends. If you meet her she may try to get your autograph." Aloe raised her hoof to show them through the spa's changing room door, her smile a natural one. "And the one you shall you Mr. Naruto is of course down here." She directed Naruto to the one farther down.

Naruto nodded and went on his way.

Aloe stepped away to find her sister. She finally found her at the counter.

"Sister has Miss Rarity and the others arrived?"

Aloe gave her sister a soft smile as she made her way behind the counter. "Yes, they are at the changing rooms getting ready."

Lotus, Aloe's physical twin differed in the fact they had opposite color schemes. Whereas Aloe's coat was pink Lotus was blue. Where her sister's mane was pink hers was blue. Even the white lotus flower cutie mark had the outline of pink where Aloe's was blue. The Earth pony mare had the same figure with the same outfit with their businesses insignia. She even had the same long fingers indicating much experience in their craft. "Then I shall prepare the bath, would you mind getting the rest of the items?"

"Sure."

---

To Naruto's surprise in the room waiting for him was a note and a pair of black swim trunks. Without a doubt this was part of the multi-layered planned date that the two mares had cooked up.

Once he was dressed me was led to the tubs where he would be resting in mud. Naruto couldn't help but wonder who was the first individual who cooked up the idea of using mud to cleanse the body? Not to mention the other one who came up with the formula. Was the substance even technically mud?

Oh well he didn't know much about this kind of topic anyway. Getting into and resting in the warm substance he looked around and noticed the other tub was empty. That was odd. "Miss Lotus are we early? Only one of the tubs has mud in them."

"Indeed," It took an incredible amount of Willpower on Aloe's part not to sport a grin. "That tub is undergoing cleaning. We only have the use of one for the day. Aloe will be here momentarily with the rest of the supplies." With that Lotus was out of the door.

Naruto had to admit he could really get used to sitting in this substance and unwinding at least once a week. He let out a content sigh, resting his head on the rim and closed his eyes, taking in the sensations. "Enjoying yourself I see?"

He turned around at the sound of the voice, his mouth feeling as if all the moisture was sap out of it. Sure enough, standing in swim wear were Rarity and Fluttershy.

Without a doubt this was the most skin or better yet fur he had ever seen of his former boss. The two piece showed off her long, toned legs, pedicured hooves, slender, delicate hands, lush, vibrant mane and tail, and a slender waist connected to wonderfully wide hips and large pendulous rack. Rarity for all intents and purpose was a walking fantasy.

A smile graced those full lips of hers as she made a purposeful stride towards him.

Fluttershy followed as well, wearing a more conservative one piece. Like Rarity her legs were shown off by the outfit not to mention her form was just as seductive as Rarity's. The outfit really outlined her chest. She shivered, maybe sensing his eyes on her, but didn't squirm away.

He realized he hadn't answered Rarity's question. "Y-Yeah, the bath is relaxing."

"Well Lotus told us the other bath is broken so I guess we will simply have to share it."

Well that was a surprise. He did his best to relax as Rarity and Fluttershy got into the tub. "So what is this substance made of again?" He wondered as Aloe came in with Cucumber slices and some substance.

"A mixture of volcanic ash, peat moss, and mineral-enriched natural spring water," Rarity answered as she let out a content sigh.

"I have to say relaxing like this after some training would definitely help with the muscle ache I experience after a session. If I recall correctly you were clamoring for a spa session every day after training when we first started." He fondly recalled with a grin.

A pout formed on the seamstress's face at the memory. "Do not remind me."

"But all that sweat will surely mess up my coiffure." He countered with a playful imitation of Rarity's voice only for him to get poked in the ribs for his trouble.

"Jerk."

A chuckle escaped Naruto's lips.

"Well, the training has proven to be useful, so that's good right?" Fluttershy spoke up.

"Yes, indeed it was, even if my teacher was an unforgivably harsh task master."

Naruto shook his head in response. "A few laps around the park and some stretches is very forgiving for starting." He argued.

"I still thinking that examination of yours was an excuse to paw at my body." She coyly remarked.

"To be fair I was still humansexual at the time so you really didn't do much for me." He responded, covering the bottom portion of his face to hide his snicker as Rarity gaped at him.

Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle at her friend's expression.

It seemed like Fluttershy was opening up, so maybe a familiar topic would help her relax a bit more. "Well one thing that's happening as a result of this whole situation means I will have to put my plans on getting a pet on hold."

"Oh? What were you thinking of getting?" She asked as she was finally starting to relax.

"I haven't fully decided. Something warm and cuddly, but no cats. Opal has soured any interests I could have in cats." He finished with a flat expression, memories of Tora coming to mind. It seemed like cats were just bastards.

"And what it is wrong with Opal?" Rarity demanded, sending a heated look after she caught the cucumbers that fell off her eyes.

"You mean besides being grumpy and mean?" he countered. "Not really the behavior of a pet of a refined lady if I do say so myself." Instead of continuing their verbal spar Rarity grew silent. She turned away from him and Naruto felt a twinge of guilt, realizing that he made one too many jokes at her expanse.

He waded through the mud, moving in front of her. "Rarity, I apologize, I've been going a little too far with my jokes. Will you accept my apology?"

A thirty torturous seconds passed before Rarity finally answered him. "Of course I do darling,, but I do plan on getting even."

"We'll see." He responded with a grin nothing that he accepted her challenge.

"Anyway let us get out; the next part of our treatment, the mineral bath should be ready. " Rarity suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Naruto replied as he practically vaulted out of the tab. With that he extended a hand and helped Rarity out of the tub, following by helping Fluttershy.

"Now then, let's go to the showers and prepare for our mineral bath." As the unicorn led the way.

Unlike the tub there were too many shower stalls to have all but one be down for cleaning or maintenance so all three of them had their own stall. Naruto took his time, closing his eyes as he allowed the hot water to wash away the mud. He soon picked up the sounds of Rarity and Fluttershy talking, to which reminded him of their state of dress leading to him switching from a hot shower for a nice long cold one.

"Naruto darling, are you done yet? Aloe and Lotus have our bath ready," Rarity called out from the other side.

"Yeah, be right there," he responded, realizing that he had spent more time cooling off then he initially planned on to. Once he finished with his shower they made their way to the next one.

Once again there was only one tub, but it easily dwarfed both of the mud tubs combined in size. The sensation of the water made the earlier mud seem like treading through murky water.

"S-So what's it like?"

"Hhm," Naruto was taken out of his peaceful quiet by Fluttershy suddenly speaking to him.

"Y-You used to be a completely different species right? A Human correct?" she asked as Naruto nodded in confirmation. "What's it like? D-Do you miss it?"

Naruto never really talked about or brought up that aspect of his life, but how else would they get to know him unless the questions were asked.

Rarity had to admit now that Fluttershy brought it up she was a bit curious herself.

"Do I miss it? Yeah I do miss it sometimes. It would be kind of hard not too, considering I spent most of my life as a human being, but I have to admit the way I am now is familiar enough to a human being that I was able to adjust. Now, if we were more like the ponies as I remember them back from my world, I don't think my mind would have been able to handle or adjust to the changes for weeks considering just how different everything would be. "

"If you ever had the chance to, would you leave? Would you go back to your world?" It was something that was niggling at the back of Fluttershy's mind ever since the revelation of Naruto's past. After all it was his battle with the Shadow that brought him here in the first place, what if the same circumstances or events that set up the incident were to occur again. What if he was given the choice to stay or leave? What would he choose.

"Fluttershy, maybe now is not the time for such a topic." Rarity couldn't help but grow uncomfortable with this line of thought. Naruto. Leaving? Would he choose to leave? What about his friends here? What about the life he was trying to build. What about…what about the ones who wanted to be with him. What about her?

"I won't lie Shy at one time I did consider the possibility. I wonder what I was going to do, but then some things changed that I wouldn't give up anything for." Fluttershy let out a shocked squeak when Naruto wrapped am arm around her and pulled her close. He did the same to Rarity who let out a more subdued but still audible gasp. "Two of my reasons for staying are right here. I think that's more than good enough reason to stay, don't you?"

"You are too much of a silver tongue devil for your own good." Rarity replied, her cheeks burning red. The sensation of Naruto's strong arm proved very comforting.

"Miss Rarity, Miss Fluttershy, Mr. Naruto we are ready to start your massages." Aloe reported opening the door. Rarity eyes widen as she come back to her senses, and remember the original plan. Rarity got up and grabbed onto to Fluttershy who let out a pout. She was enjoying where she was.

"Come now darling we have to go. After our massage there will be enough time for us to grab a later lunch and continue on with the rest of our day." She said as both mares exited the tub.

Naruto reluctantly got out of the soothing water and was led to a room. To their surprise another mare besides the Spa sisters was there. She had similar features to them, but was more slender built with a lilac mane and tail and a sunflower yellow coat. Apparently this was their nice Vera who was currently working part time.

All three ponies got on the table and surrender themselves to the healing fingers of the spa ponies.

Naruto enjoyed the deep massage that was currently being given to him by Aloe. He took moments to peep at his companions to notice Fluttershy's wings were being attended to while Rarity was getting her horn worked on by some odd looking filing tool.

As the massage continued Rarity soon fell into her own little world while Fluttershy was being conversed to. Vera, an enthusiastic fan of the very short term model was talking to the Pegasus a mile a minute while she just sit there, nodding, and getting a word in every few minutes or so while trying and failing to plead to her friends to save her.

"Goin' a little low there Aloe," he said.

"I am merely trying to undo the knot that has formed near your tailbone area. Yes, it's going to take a bit of time to undo it." Said mare of course was lying through her teeth. After all she was something of a tease and couldn't help but playfully tease her patrons.

"Aloe," he called out again causing the mare to pout, but comply as she raised her hands higher. While playful, Aloe still had a strong moral compass and would be appalled at any alleviations of being abusive or a predator. If any client expressed any discomfort she would stop immediately.

Naruto tried to calm the blush forming on his cheeks, but the small giggle from Rarity wasn't helping.

Naruto didn't hold Aloe's playfulness against her. Out of the many careers this was definitely one of the ones that you would expect flirtatious behavior from the workers in hopes of gaining repeat clients.

It was merely one of the facts of life.

Finally the peaceful trip had to come to an end. With a final goodbye and thank you to the spa ponies Rarity, Naruto and a sleeping Fluttershy made their leave.

It was time for lunch to which Fluttershy promptly took point. She led them to an area where to his surprise Angel Bunny and the rest of Fluttershy's animal friends had finished setting up a picnic lunch on a checkerboard blanket.

Another picnic lunch? Well he wasn't going to complain. Fluttershy flutters down to her critter friends and envelops them all in a large hug. With thank yous and promises of treats the little critters soon went on their ways.

"Really, I, you girls didn't have to go through all this much trouble." He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed at all the setup the two went through and the day wasn't over.

"Its fine darling, what mare wouldn't enjoy taking her stallion out for a treat." Rarity assured him as they made their way over to the blanket.

"Well if you say so." The three of them then began to divide the contents of the baskets between themselves.

On the verge of finishing the remains of his sandwich Naruto couldn't help but take notice of some birds that had dropped nearby. He didn't recognize any of them so they must have been from the local wild life that had migrated from the town. Taking the remains of the bread crust he grounded it up and tossed some of the remains to them. He watched as the birds pecked and happily gulped up the bits of bread. To his surprise one of the birds then landed on Naruto's shoulder.

"That's so adorable." Fluttershy says warmly.

"Huh, I thought birds wouldn't land on ponies or anyone really." After all birds or most animals that weren't domesticated often exhibited skittish behavior.

"If you're wearing bright colors and remaining still some species of birds will land on you in order to recover from exhaustion they experience from flying long distances." She explained.

"As long as she doesn't mistake me for newspaper I supposed I'm okay with it.

It took a moment for Fluttershy to realize the joke Naruto had made, when it clicked she let out a giggle.

For a moment, the two of them simply looked into each other's eyes. Fluttershy brings her face closer to His and Naruto mirrored the gesture. Both of them were startled when the bird let out tweet causing the Pegasus to pull back.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to draw the line at adding birds to the herd dear." Rarity commented without missing a beat as she simply continued enjoying her thermos full of tea.

The other two merely shared a laugh and continued enjoying the rest of the picnic Harry the bear would be by later to pick up the supplies, but for now the three of them continued on their way.

To Naruto's surprise they made their way to the train station. Both mares kept their lips tight as they made their journey on to the next town. The trip took a mere half hour as they arrived to the next town where they were having a festival.

"A festival?" He couldn't help but murmur, feeling a bit choked up. Festivals reminded him of home. Of Konoha. The differences of technology and history not to mention species that so many things were different. Technologies, practices, and even food but there were still things that were going to be similar. One of those things were right in front of him.

"Rare, Shy, thank you." He said as he looked around, so many unfamiliar faces.

"Well darling, let us go and enjoy all the festival has to offer."

The trio began their journey, looking around at all the prices and attractions as they went stall by stall. A lot of the games were rather colorful and eye catching, aimed at younger patrons.

"Step right up, knock down the bottles, win a prize."

It was one of your usual carnival games with a series of animals hanging from the top of the booth. Paying for two rounds Naruto won Fluttershy and Rarity a butterfly and kitten plushy prize respectively.

They continued further in as they went from booth to booth. There was a fishing game involving gold fishes to which Fluttershy stopped by to say high to them.

There was a ring toss game to which Rarity tried her luck, but luck was not on her side.

Once they took notice of ponies filing out of the booth area they followed them to where everypony was gathering. It looked like fireworks were being set up to go off in a bit.

"Let's see if they'll us on the Ferris wheel for a better view." Naruto suggested and sure enough the ride was still being operated. It wasn't uncommon for patrons to get on rides like this for a vantage point. Sure enough the ride soon came to a stop.

"Rarity, Fluttershy, there's something I want to say." He suddenly spoke causing both mares to lift their heads p from his shoulder.

"Yes Darling?"

"Yeah?"

"I just wanted to let you two know today was amazing. I cam't remember the last time I enjoyed myself so much."

As if on cue the fireworks begin to explode in the sky. Shades of blue, red and green all explode in a variety of different fashions and colors. Even a few pink heart shaped fireworks explode, illuminating the night sky. Then the show finishes, the sound of a cheering crowd is heard off in the distance.

The trio soon found themselves on the train ride back. "Both of us are delighted that you enjoyed yourself today."

"Did you have a favorite part?" Fluttershy asked him as he paused and thought about it.

"It's pretty hard to top seeing two beautiful mares in swim wear." He replied as Rarity rolled her eyes and Fluttershy blushed. The trio made their way back to Ponyville.

They arrived back to the Boutique, to which Rarity and Fluttershy went to work preparing dinner, trading off every fifteen minutes or so while the other would converse with Naruto until the meal was prepared.

With the meal finally prepared the three of them sat down to enjoy their final meal and moments with each other for that day.

Naruto picked up his fork and twisted it in the noodles, collecting a reasonably-sized before placing it in his mouth. Stir Fry was a meal he didn't have often, but it was always delicious. "Meals like this always amaze me."

"This was the first time I tried making Stir Fry," Rarity replied. "I am glad to see you are enjoying it."

"Because the food in Cloudsdale leans more towards fruits and grain, it's more common to use vegetable for more elaborate meals." Fluttershy explained which for all intents and purposes made since. It wouldn't be easy to maintain a garden on top of clouds seeing as moisture was needed to nurture the plants along with proper sunlight, the latter being a bit more difficult to moderate than the former considering the height of the city.

Stories of the cloud based city took up a good portion of their evening which soon transitioned to the other places they've all traveled to. Though, all good things must come to an end as it was getting late. Fluttershy made her way to the door. "I really enjoyed my day with you two. We have to do it again some time." The mare said as she glanced outside at the darkened path that awaited her.

"I can walk you home Shy." Naruto volunteered, knowing the mare still held discomfort for the dark.

"Such the Gentlestallion," Rarity remarked as she reached out and grabbed Naruto's hand before he left with the Pegasus. "Hurry back, there's still one more thing I wish to do." She informed him as her expression suddenly became a bit bashful.

"Alright then, I'll be sure to come back with haste." He replied with a nod as he left to accompany Fluttershy back home.

The cold air didn't bother either of them as the moon illuminates their path. Fluttershy steals glances at him out of her peripheral vision, to which Naruto returned the favor. As the two of them approached the door of her home, He turned to her.

"So was going on a date anything like you thought it would be?" He couldn't help but wonder.

"No," she replied to his surprise. "Even better. I was pretty nervous most of the time, but everything turned out so wonderful," she says softly, stepping towards Him.

"You aren't the only one." Naruto admitted with a soft chuckle.

Fluttershy looked at him with surprise. "Really?"

"Mainly because I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to admit I enjoyed what we did. It wasn't some big and expensive spectacle. It was a fun and enjoyable experience with two dear friends. What could have been better?"

A smile graced the mare's features. "Yes," she answered as she took a moment to compose herself. "Well…I mean…uum…w-well." Suddenly nervousness began to spread through the mare as a blush once more overtook her cheeks.

Seeing she was on the verge of panic Naruto reached forward and grab her shoulders. "Shy, before the night is over can I have one last request?"

Fluttershy nodded, unable to trust her own voice.

"Can I get a kiss from the fair maiden?"

Once more he received a nod.

Naruto moved forward and wrapped his arms around her hips. He pulled her close, the warmth of her breath on his neck. Naruto leaned forward and she pressed forward and closed her eyes.

Their lips connected. It was a soft kiss, the kind of kiss that left Fluttershy melting into Naruto's arms, losing all sense of herself. It was a passionate kiss that made Fluttershy feel relaxed. Fluttershy's back hit the door and she felt Naruto's hands resting on her hips. She moved her own arms to his neck and held him close, tilting her head to the side. Their tongues never touched and they just wrapped themselves in the warmth of each other's lips. She even went as far as to use her wings to nestle around his form.

After what could have been a second or a thousand years, they pulled apart, both out of breath after their passionate kiss. They stood their leaning against the door of the house. Naruto smiled at Fluttershy, who felt exhilarated from her ears to her tail.

"Goodnight Fluttershy." He said as they pulled apart.

"Goodnight Naruto." He said as Fluttershy opened her door and glanced back, sharing one last look with him before entering her home.

Naruto let out a cheerful whoop as he began making his way back to the Boutique. He was invited back inside and lead to the couch where two glasses of wine were set on costars.

No words were exchanged between them. Nothing had to be said. The two of them took a sip from their glasses before setting them back down. Their eyes met, gazes softening as a smile touched upon their lips. They both moved forward. Naruto reached out and placed a finger on Rarity's chin and pulled upwards gently, tilting his own head to one side as she did so. Rarity bats her eyes and Naruto continued to lean forward until he pressed his lips to hers. It was powerful and passionate and conveyed everything they felt for each other. Rarity fell backwards, Naruto wrapping his arms around her as they enjoyed the night and being in each other's embrace.
