One afternoon at Canterlot City's animal shelter, inside the building both Fluttershy and Spike were busy feeding the animals.

Spike went over to one of the pens containing a few puppies, before setting a big bowl of dog food down for them, “Here you go, guys. Come and get it,” the puppies scampered over and began eating from the bowl. When some of the pups tried nudging each other out of the way, Spike calmed them, “Hey-hey, no need to get greedy. There's plenty for all of you.” the pups calmed down and started to eat together.

Not too far from him Fluttershy was putting a bowl of cat food down in a pen filled with kittens. As the kittens all gathered at the bowl and started eating, Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle at how cute they were, “Ok, little ones, you eat up and then take a nap.”

Soon all the animals in the shelter were enjoying their food, as Spike and Fluttershy watched, “That should be enough to fill their tummies.” Fluttershy smiled.

When they heard the bell ring in the front, a voice called out, “Pizza!”

Spike smirked, “Speaking of filling tummies.” Fluttershy smiled, as they went to get their food.

The two were in the shelter's employee lounge, enjoying their pizza, and enjoying each others company.

“Thanks again for coming by to help at the shelter, Spike.” Fluttershy thanked him.

“No problem, Fluttershy. I'm just glad we didn't have too much homework to take care of today.” Spike answered, before eating a slice.

“I know. And I'm sorry most of the staff couldn't come in today.”

“I don't mind. Gives me a chance to spend more time with you.” Spike admitted, as Fluttershy blushed faintly.

“I do like spending time with you, Spike.” Fluttershy confessed, “Helps me focus on things that matter. Lately I've sorta been preoccupied.”

“Let me guess. Grogar?” Spike asked.

“Yes.” Fluttershy confessed.

“Hey, I was feeling just the same as you. But I learned fretting about it will only make it worse. Because this is exactly what Grogar wants us to feel.”

“I just don't want him to send something after us that's too much for us to fight.” the girl said in worry.

“Well, that's exactly what he'd plan to do,” Spike replied, “Grogar knows plenty of people in the real world that could be just as dangerous in Eden. But we're tougher when we're together.”

Fluttershy feeling the bode of confidence answered, “Yes. It's how it's always been for me and the girls. Whenever we come face to face with an opponent or group that look incredibly tough we had to be tougher.”

“And I've seen what you can do in Eden,” Spike admitted, “When the going gets tough, you really take the gloves off.”

Fluttershy looked away feeling sheepish, “Oh. I'm not that tough. If anything, Rainbow's the toughest of us all. Unless you count Applejack. It's hard to tell which is tougher. Not that it matters.”

Spike nodded, “Maybe, but each of you is tough in your own ways. Twilight in magic, Rainbow in speed, A.J in strength, and you in swiftness.”

Fluttershy smiled, “Thank you, Spike. And you're tough by always watching our backs and coming to our aid when we need you the most.”

“That's what being a noble dragon warrior's all about.” Spike reminded her.

Fluttershy got up from her chair and walked over to Spike. The boy was taken aback, as the girl sat herself in his lap sideways and embraced him. Spike blushed at the feeling of Fluttershy's rack pressing up into his chest.

“Uh, Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy spoke to Spike, while resting her chin on his shoulder, “You're more than just a noble dragon warrior, Spike. You're one of the greatest friends the girls and I have ever made in Eden and in person.”

“You and the girls have been such good friends to me as well.” Spike replied happily, as he hugged her back.

Fluttershy lifted her head up to look Spike in the eyes. The two gazed deeply before leaning in closer and kissed. Spike sat with Fluttershy in his lap, holding her close as they kissed with blissful passion.

When they came up for air, Fluttershy got off Spike's lap, took him by the hand and led him over to the lounge sofa. She sat Spike down and pulled his shirt off.

“Fluttershy is it wise to do this here?” Spike asked in concern.

“Don't worry, Spike. No one's coming in today, the animals are settling down to nap, and I locked the lounge door.” Fluttershy grinned.

Spike blinked, “You really want this, huh?”

“Probably more than you.” she replied, as Spike smiled sheepishly.

Fluttershy removed her own clothes until she was in her undergarments. She went to Spike and pinned him down on the couch with her straddling him.

“My precious helpless, Spike.” Fluttershy cooed, as she gently stroked his cheek seductively.

Fluttershy leaned down and kissed her favorite boy deeply. As she put her tongue inside Spike to feel his own tongue, Spike wrapped his arms around Fluttershy pulling her closer. As their lips clashed, Fluttershy rubbed her bra covered rack against Spike's bare chest. Spike's hands trailed down before coping a feel of Fluttershy's butt playfully squeezing her cheeks making the girl moan in joy.

Later on all their clothes were laid out on the lounge room floor. Both Spike and Fluttershy were lying on the couch with Fluttershy on top of Spike with both of them panting heavily.

Spike held Fluttershy close, as he spoke to her, “Fluttershy, I had no idea you could be so horny.”

“I surprise myself there.” Fluttershy giggled.

“Still, you were amazing.”

“You were amazing yourself.” Fluttershy gave him a lidded look.

The two sat up on the sofa and noticed it was getting late, “We should probably get dressed and lock up.” Spike suggested.

“You're right. Thanks again for coming here to help, Spike. And for showing me such a good time.” she smiled at him.

“Any time.” Spike replied, as the two shared another kiss, before it was time for them to get themselves together and head back to the penthouse.

That night at the penthouse, Spike was up on the roof looking out into the city. Fluttershy was sitting at his side looking out into it as well. Fluttershy scooted closer to Spike, who spoke to her.

“I'll never get tired of this lovely view from here.”

“Yes. It's beautiful.” Fluttershy agreed, as she scooted closer to Spike, before resting her head on his shoulder.

“We should all camp out up here on the roof during a summer night.” Spike suggested.

“Oh, yes, that's a wonderful idea.”

Spike smiled at Fluttershy, before wrapping an arm around her waist pulling her closer. He reached down and pecked her forehead. Fluttershy smiled, before taking Spike by surprise and pinned him down and straddled him once again.

“Whoa, Fluttershy.” Spike chuckled.

“We still have some time before we have to turn in. So let's enjoy it.” Fluttershy leaned downward and started to make out with Spike, who wrapped his arms around her wanting to keep her close.
