Two things I didn't think through before going out with fluttershy. The first thing was that, since I wasn't technically a pony, the Stare might work differently on me. I felt like I was in an on/off hypnotism every time we made eye contact.

Second thing, when she was in the mini spa in her shed, she was relaxed, therefore easy to talk to. Out in public, with no spa or evil aliens to distract her, she was back to her usual shy state. I was okay with this, since my being socially akward didn't make me very good around others either, pony or not.

I grabbed our picnic stuff and whispered goodbye to Angel, who hid in the white snow until we left. I planned on going to whitetail woods, since my knowledge of solitary Equestrian landmarks is quite limited. She wouldn't like the large crowds of ponyville festivities as much as the woods, I figured.

Apparently my figuring was both wrong and right. She was abit more on edge from not being home, but she kept herself collected enough to make small jokes with me. "Taking a girl out all alone in the woods could be a weird first date, you know?"

"You're no ordinary girl though." I continued walking, not knowing her emotion but knowing she was staring at me.

"Are you calling me weird?" She smiled lightly.

Zaanne saved me there in the stupidest way possible. "Yes, you're weird compared to most ponies. But that's what makes you special to him."

I looked back to see her give a timid smile, but hiding it in her mane. That, along with her slightly rosy cheeks, was enough to make the coldest of of men have a heart attack. Luckily, I wasn't a man, nor did i have a heart, but I still had that feeling of lightning going up my spine.

Fluttershy dressed nicer than the day I met her. She now wore a dark green sweater and long things on her hind legs that were either the pony version of sweatpants or stockings, leaving holes for her tail and wings. The pants weren't very tight, but it still showed off her great figure, firm legs but plump and good sized flank... Where was i?

Right, date. I looked away from her before she noticed my staring. I knew ponies dressed lightly, even during winter, so i focused on being inquisitive instead of looking at her.

"So," i started, "you seem to like animals."

No shit Sherlock

"Mhm," she stared up at the dead branches, as if expecting a bird or squirrel to be hopping about. "Spring is almost here, so I'll get to see all my little friends again soon."

If I weren't a fan of the show, that could have sounded creepy. Alas, I understood that, outside of her little group of ponies, she was best friends with almost every creature on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest.

I realized why she decided to live so close to that crazy place then. It was to protect the small animals who couldn't survive in such a wild environment. Though she was afraid of the place, she not only helps creatures in there, but lives next to it. That Zaanne and I found to be pretty cool.

"You take care of all your little friends by yourself?" We arrived at a flat area in the woods and i laid the picnic blanket down.

"Yes, well, other ponies come by and pay me to watch over their pets or take care of them, so it's a job for me along with making so many cute new friends..." She strayed off and eyed a large rock.

I set the rest of the picnic stuff down and trotted over to fluttershy, who had taken an inspection of the rock. "There a critter?"

She responded by picking the thing up and showing it to me, which i really could have done without.

A spider, about the size of her hoof's diameter, stood there, looking up at me with all however many eyes the bucker had.

Somepony squeaked, and there was a fast rush of wind. I didn't know who it was until I was behind fluttershy, staring at the bug (Arachnid, bug, I don't care) like it was the antichrist.

She reacted with a simple "oh?!"

I mimicked a cat hissing and hopped behind a tree. From a "safe" distance, i inspected the spider. The thing was blue, sky blue, with 8 beady black eyes dotted like a screwed up alien from SPORE. It's spiky legs made up most of its body, which was a stupid big circle fused to a smaller circle.

I forgot the broken TARDIS thing, again. The spider turned to me again and made a slow, strained voice coming from its fangs, which were a light Aqua. "Well sorry for disturbing your picnic by sitting here! I was here first you know!"

"I know you were." The magic necklace seemed to turn off, because i was frozen, though my chest and face burned.

Fluttershy smiled down to... My head named him Jim, don't ask why. "Isn't he spectacular?! It's a Frost Spider, they only come out when it's cold."

Zaanne didn't seem effected by the thing. Quit being a pussy, Scootaloo's having a better date than you, and she's nine!

"Spiders are no-nos for me." I slipped to the blanket. "What does he eat?"

"He's not going to eat you, silly" she giggled, and the cold in me evaporated. "Frost spiders freeze things and suck the nutrients out through their fangs. As for what he eats, it doesn't matter, just needs to be edible."

"Touching. Does he jump?"

"Why don't you just ask me?" Jim asked. "And would you like to find out?"

"No, no I wouldn't." I started to take out the food. After a few thoughts and second guesses, i broke off a considerable chunk of cheesecake and tossed it to them. "Here you go. Happy Valentine's Day."

Jim clasped the crumb with his forelegs, or feelers, and bit it. The bread immediately became encased in a sparkly dust, then froze faster than liquid nitrogen. After that he started breaking peices of the ice off and chewing it.

Fluttershy set Jim down and moved to sit with me. "That was kind of you, i thought you were scared of them."

"So long as I'm nice, it has no reason to attack me. Cheesecake?"

We are the food for a while, talking about random things. She was cool with me naturally being an omnivore, which was a relief. I don't like changing to match someone's interests, and I really like the Mc. Chicken. What, it's one dollar of yummy meat and mayo! No homo. Yet no hetero...

I re-explained all the stuff that's happened recently, and she informed me of what everypony did durning the dragon problem. Apparently they couldn't all get to the bus, so the pegasi split into flying groups to lead everyone off.

"You fought dragons?" She seemed amazed by that. "They didn't try to gobble you up did they?"

"The bigger ones considered it, but Zaanne lead them to attack the bad guys."

"The dragons weren't the bad guys?"

"Technically, no. You know dragons eat ponies, so they're just predators. They're naturally greedy, so it's not their fault that they came." I sipped some lemonade and looked out over Sweet Apple Acres. I could see the two crusaders throwing snowballs at each other.

I muted the crystal a few minutes after last chapter's conversation, but Zaanne stayed on for some reason. "I did all the work! Minus the small blue dragon, Gabe took him out."

I described the fight in the cave, summoning the Keyblade to show her how it works. "It's mainly made to lock or unlock hearts, but it's also a universal key." I put it back before it could start sucking out my life again.

I had trouble telling when others want to talk, but Fluttershy seemed very patient. She waited until I finished what I had to say before asking any questions. "So you plan to use that to fight bad guys?"

I nodded. "I know you're nonviolent normally, but I can't find any way around it sometimes."

"You talk people out of it?" Zaanne implored.

"Eh." I tossed another crumb to Jim and slid further away from him. Seems odd that three days ago, i couldn't fight a mosquito without slapping myself. Now i can take an electric laser beam head-on and walk away particularly unscathed. nice perk of this body, but I knew it wasn't my body.

Conversation switched from past to future. I made a deal of solids with Fluttershy. She'd let me sleep on her couch if I were to help her take care of the critters when I was around. She found it great that I could talk to animals, and asked me if I could assist her in the animal care.

I agreed for a few reasons. First, we made eye contact, which sealed any deal from the start. Second, I didn't want to go home until the bad aliens were under control. Third, I get to spend way more time with Fluttershy! While i originally didn't like the idea of picking a favorite pony, she would count as a #1.

Jim eventually went back under his rock, and i relaxed abit. I felt happy to be out talking with Fluttershy, i also found it great to be resting from some of the weirdest crap to happen to me.

"Fluttershy? What day is winter wrap up?"

"A week or so away," was her response. I nodded and nibbled some food.

A slight ring popped up in my head, and Zaanne spoke into me. ~Scootaloo said to return your blessings.~

I figured she was messing with me about returning fluttershy's kiss. The thought burned noticeably against my face.

She noticed and smiled lightly. "A-Are you cold?"

"Nah," i looked off before her eyes pulled me into hypnosis. "Just a small reminder for later."

She seemed to understand that she'd be told later, and finished her meal. My cheeks flushed more every time I thought through it, and the cold crept back up my spine. I didn't mind the cold too much, I actually prefer lower temperatures. Just because someone's texan doesn't mean they like things 90°F or higher.

We cleaned up and started back to her place. I loved her outfit and couldn't help this time but stare for a few moments. She looked lovely, enough to make a heartless have cardiac arrest (sorry if I offended anyone here who has died by cardiac arrest).

I figured she wouldn't mind me telling some jokes, so I tried some. Problem is, jokes aren't good if you think about them. Another issue was that she wasn't knowing of any celebrities i knew. Justin Beiber and Barack Obama sounded like foreign food brands to her.

We made it to her place after a few laughs about restaraunts. Again her giggles mesmerized me, along with a small squeak she made right before laughing that made my brain buzz.

We entered and sat on her couch, discussing animal behaviors. The sun had fallen and the town was lit like christmas, pink and red hearts glowing in the distance. "They seem to be having a big party out there."

"Oh, they do that every year." Flutters propped her hooves on the window seal and looked out on the glowing snow. "It looks crowded."

"Sounds pretty fun, do you want to go?"

She shook her head and sat back next to me. "I think home is a good place for hearts and hooves day." She looked up to me. "You called it Valentine's Day, why might that be?"

"We have a similar holiday today, but it's abit more serious than just some candies. My world likes to overdramatize things."

"So what do they do?"

"Same thing here, but with more dating and broken hearts. I prefer to stay alone during this holiday." I shot a fireball into the fireplace and lit it with a light green.

"You spent all day with me, did you not want to?" She blushed abit and looked off. "You didn't have to go out with me just because i let you sleep here."

Now could have been a good time to return her kiss, but I had something to say, and I was happy to say it. "I loved going out with you, and I'd do it again even if I lived in space."

"It was a little dull though, plus that frost spider seemed to scare you..."

I took her hoof lightly to get her to face me, staring into her eyes as well as i could. Her greenish-blue eyes made my soul burn, but i kept eye contact.

"You fear dragons, so I'll protect you from dragons. I fear spiders, so I know you'll keep me safe from them. As for it being dull, i liked the subtle date. Nothing insane and nothing boring, just natural enough for it to be fun.

Her face was red, and she seemed slightly stunned by me bringing up her fear over dragons. "Y-you'll protect me from dragons?"

"Mhm. Oh, and another thing-" i quickly moved up and pressed my lips to her face, right over her adorably flustered cheek. "-you did that for me before I fought your fear, so touchè there."

She made a cute squeak, but didn't back away. She smiled brightly and poked her muzzle to mine, which i guessed was a nuzzle. "Th-thanks Zaanne- uhm, Gabriel?"

Well I was Gabriel, but Zaanne switched with me. He cleared our throat lightly and stared back into her eyes. "We're color coded. Green eyes means Zaanne, Blue is Gabe. Also, it's my turn for a kiss."

Fluttershy and i expected another kiss on the cheek, but Zaanne doesn't seem to play that way. He pulled her close, like, really close. Chests and nuzzles were pressed together as he kissed her lips.

I know I've already done almost three lists in this chapter, but here's a few more things that i appreciated. One, I could still feel everything zaanne felt, so I got a full sharing of the kiss. Two, Fluttershy didn't freak out. She took the kiss happily, even pushing back on it some. Three: me and Zaanne are two different people, along with being aliens from a different planet. This shouldn't have happened

I didn't mind sharing a Fluttershy kiss with Zaanne, since we pretty much share everything. Zaanne was a lot more assertive than me, holding his kiss and slowly pressing her back on the couch.

After a bit i switched back with Zaanne, pulling her up and petting her head akwardly. "Y-yeah, that was Zaanne."

Her entire face had become red, and she lacked words. That meant something, I was sure of it.

It was getting late, so I poked her nose to snap her to reality. "Go get some sleep, I'll be down here if you need anything." She nodded lightly and fluttered to bed, keeping her clothes on.

I laid back on the couch, staring at the roof. I met a pony yesterday, and kissed her today. Something said "too soon", but I really didn't care.

"You should sleep too," Ship said.

"I don't wanna sleep," i moaned boredly. The day was over, the danger was gone (for now), and my brain was buzzing with everything that had happened over the week.

Me and Zaanne met Rayden at school, with weirdly good sword skills and the greatest accent I've ever heard. Scootaloo met me after my heart exploded from a meteor, which turned out to be a space ship. Then we all moved out to ponyville.

After that, random chaos. Killer dragons, slightly uncoordinated aliens and a crystal with a identity problem. According to Zaanne he apparently has as much amnesia as me, same with Ship, who may or may not be a real ship. Fluttershy met me because I couldn't fly worth the life of me, and let me live with her. Again, all of this happening within three days.

"Ship, play me some piano music." I summoned a blanket and two pillows, resting head on one and hugging the other. The pressure on my chest felt good.

He started up some soft string piano, which somewhat helped me relax. "Zaanne, you know much about Camp Half-Blood?"

"Not outside of what you've read while with me."

I closed my eyes and relaxed. "Tell Scootaloo to meet us up in the White Room, we have some planning to do..."

Author's Notes:

This will most likely be the last chapter in this story. I Might make a sequal to it later, but I can't keep up with it right now, plus only like one person cares for this story. Merry Christmas and stuff.
