Spike and Tree Hugger were off on a trail through the woods.

"Hi Wirt and Greg, hey Grizz Panda and Ice Bear, hello Slenderman."

"Hey Tree Hugger." They all greeted as they passed by.

"Man, you know a lot of people around here."

"It comes with knowing everything about this obligatory forest."

"Wow."

Soon they reached a clearing and started setting up camp.

Spike set-up the cooking stuff. "Hey, where's the tent?"

"I've set it up already."

"I don't see it." replied Spike looking around.

She then pointed to a mixture of leaves and fallen branches. "A...giant nest as our tent?"

"Yep, I used the materials the forest has allowed us to use.

"How is that suppose to keep us dry if it rains?"

"No sweat, look above."

Spike looked over the nest to see an irrigation system that ended at a canteen. "Uh...wow." Spike was
impressed.

"And that's not even the best part, wait till you see the basement."

"Basement?"

Spike was curious so he hopped into the nest and walked down a staircase. He reached underground and saw it made out like an entertainment room. "Whoa!"

"Eh, this room isn't so impressive, not compared to the room where we get to cuddle with gophers tonight!"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

That's when a squirrel jumped at Spike and kicked him in the face twice!

"What was that for?" Spike wondered.

"It obviously a reference to Pet Alien."

"Wow, now that is ultra obscure."

"I know, but let's get out for now, I feel like some meditation in the serene green grass."

"Okay."

Spike and Treehugger meditated quietly until..

"Uh, Tree Hugger? Th-there's a bear and a pack of wolves!"

"Don't worry, I'll handle them, just sit there and watch."

The bear looked so upset as it stared into the calm eyes of the leader of the wolf pack, whom of which with the other wolves was examining the bear closely.

They both took notice of Tree Hugger.

"Bear, Wolves. The ferocious beasts of the forest. Please stop this fighting! We can all get along can't we? I mean, we are all living creatures and we must learn how to co-exist. What happened to cause such hostility towards each other?"

The bear and wolf leader both explained their sides of the story.

"I see, bring this toy to me, I'll happily return it to it's rightful owner."

The bear and wolves then gave her Smarty Pants.

"Thank you both, now have a rad day." Tree Hugger then returned to Spike.

"Wow, you diffused that situation like an expert!"

"Thank you."

Soon after that, it started getting dark.

"We better be heading back."

"Yep, otherwise Slenderman will kill us."

"Only if you take a page in the woods I will." He replied.

Then all 3 started laughing. Later, Spike and Tree Hugger were cooking soup over a warm fire.

"So peaceful." smiled the mare hearing the sounds of the woods.

"Yeah it is..." Spike then looked at Tree Hugger who was looking nice in the fire's glow.

"Spike?"

"Oh, uh...yeah?"

"How's this trip for you?"

"It's been awesome so far."

"Rad, so what do you think of me?"

"You tell me what you think of me 1st."

"Well, I think you're cute." Spike blushed. "Now you tell me what you think of me."

"Well I think it's great how you're so in tune with nature here. Heck, you're kind like a mother nature if she was a pony."

Tree Hugger looked away with a smiling blush.

'Wow. She's really cute now.' thought Spike seeing the blush.

"Well, we better go to the nest." 'Dammit, I forgot we were sharing a bed.' Tree Hugger had no choice but to share the nest.

They walked into it and snuggled under the leaves.

"Goodnight Tree Hugger." Said Spike as he hugged her while he sleeps.

"Goodnight....Spike."

The next day, he was introduced to Tree Hugger's face. He blushed at how close she was and noticed her slightly opened lips.

'Wow, could I really have my 1st kiss here.' He moved his head forward, but stopped since he was hesitant on doing this with Tree Hugger sleeping.

'Aw man, what kind of monster have I beco...'

Tree Hugger shifted in her sleep, causing her to close the remaining distance.

His eyes widened as their lips met and he felt her pull him closer while sleeping.

Tree Hugger than awoke with satisfied eyes as she took Spike's 1st kiss and 1st makeout session right there! When she pulled back, Spike was blushing up a storm and looking at her in shock. "Hmm...I knew you were gonna do that."

"How?"

"I was able to sense it after spending so much quiet time here in the woods, forests, and jungles...well not that much quiet in the jungles because of George of the Jungle, Kamen Rider Amazon, and Tarzan. But still, I sensed you were gonna kiss me."

"Why did you let me though?"

"Because for one thing, I think you're really cute."

"And?"

"I loved your soup."

"And?!"

"It's heat season, can't you hear the gophers humping below us?"

"A...and?!" Spike was sweating in nervousness.

"I also wanted to try this organic lipstick on someone." she replied holding a tube of green lipstick. Tree Hugger then applied it and wrapped her forelegs around Spike.

"Uh...aren't you just t-taking this a little too fast?"

"I'm a hippie, we're always taking the love route 1st."

'Well, I did feel like kissing her, this is all my fault and I'll take full responsibility for this choice!'

Spike and Tree Hugger kissed as all of the woodland animals, Slenderman, Bigfoot, Dipper and Mabel Pines, and Yamcha & Puar all took a vantage point to watch it.

After Tree Hugger pulled back, she smiled at seeing Spike's face covered in green lipstick marks.

"Wow, th-that was very..."

"Want some more?"

"Yes!"

Tree Hugger leaned back down as the forest was filled with the sounds of their makeout session.

Spike was now on top of her!

"So...I did say it was mating season after all..."

"Already ahead of you."

And so they went down stairs so no-one could see them bang.
