Fluttershy and Spike

Fluttershy leaned down in the woods examining a snake they had found in the forest. It had been found so deep in the forest where the atmosphere was unnaturally humid. Flutter shy briefly wondered if that’s what was causing the change in this snake. But then again she’d never heard of any precedent to this before. The weather had started to turn cold, hence why she was wearing a jumper, the snake shouldn't be in heat.

“What is it?” Spike asked peering down at the snake over her shoulder.

“This little snake has entered his mating season, but it's too early Spike.” Fluttershy explained, her voice filled with worry as she scooped the snake into her arms. "He might be very sick."

She started to stroke the snake as Spike also approached, looking at the snake with worry. "Is there anything I can do?"

Fluttershy's eyes opened up with a revelation. "Why don't you use that power of yours to make them healthy?”

Spike’s was shocked. “Why didn’t I think of that? Fluttershy are all the animals in this forest- are all the nice animals in this forest perfectly healthy?”

Fluttershy frowned at his precise wording. “Just because a creature isn’t nice doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be healthy.”

“Yeah but if there’s some sick evil hydra in these woods that if healthy would destroy Ponyville or anything like that I don’t want to end up healing them.” Spike defended himself. Standing up and raising a finger Fluttershy was about to give him a stern talking to. But then thinking about the forest and the dangers they had met inside Spike was probably just being cautious.

“I suppose you have a point.” She turned back to the snake only to see if had scampered off. “I suppose he must have felt better.”

“That’s good to hear.” Spike said tugging at his shirt. Fluttershy noticed that the poor drake was blushing red, not that she was one to talk. Something about the Everfree was making her feel a little aroused herself. Odd for her though as she had very little in the way of sex drive. “Shall we continue looking for the roots?”

Spike’s accidental question overrode Fluttershy’s concern for the snake’s well being as she turned her back on the snake. “Alright Spike let’s do this.”

As she turned to the dark imposing forest however she felt her knees quiver both from fear and a strange sense of arousal, but mostly fear. “Oh we must be quite deep inside mustn’t we Spike?”

She asked the question with her voice quivering in fear. Her hands gripping the sleeves of her dress as she closed her eyes in fear. A fear she was only brought out of when she felt Spike’s gentle hand reach around her hand. “Would you like me to hold your hand?”

“Yes please.” She admitted letting the dragon grasp her hand and walk into the forest. They went exploring for some time, looking into caves and holes for the telltale signs of a crystal lining but each time found themselves lacking. Meanwhile Fluttershy’s feelings on the matter began to change.

She could feel her fears ebbing away, fading into the air, as her perception of the forest became much clearer. It seemed less ominous and the environment less foreboding. The trees seemed greener, the trees seemed younger rather than the decrepit oaks that she’d seen before, and she never felt that the shadows held untold terrors watching her every move.

This gave way to new feelings to enter her mind, to have the pit in her stomach filled with new feelings of arousal. Her heart began to pump not with fear but with a need to mate. For Fluttershy who found these feelings humiliating it was a nightmare. Thoughts that had never occurred to her before became prevalent in her mind.

‘Oh my I really can’t take it anymore. I need to do something.’

‘Was Spike always this attractive?’

‘These clothes are so restrictive. I just want to tear them off.’

That last one caused her to blush, to feel shame with herself. But as she tried to find reasons for that shame she found those reasons harder and harder to justify. New images entered her mind, each more lewd than the last. Soon she was finding it hard to resist the urge right there and now.

Spike, she observed, was finding it a bit hard himself. She could see him waddling along somewhat awkwardly, the pair between his legs causing no small amount of discomfort. And what a pair it was, one that Fluttershy just wanted to squeeze between her breasts. To slobber her tongue all over and milk of delicious cum.

Fluttershy froze. Since when did she have thoughts like this? Certainly Spike was attractive, he was strong certainly and his penis must be rather large, but he was Rarity’s crush. And Fluttershy would never betray her friend. Now though another hole had formed in her stomach, one filled with shame and guilt at her treachorus thoughts.

“Everything okay?” Spike asked, noticing how her head was fixed to floor. But now Fluttershy realised everything was okay, she wasn’t afraid of the Everfree Forest. She didn’t worry about betraying Rarity’s trust. She was still horny for Spike but that was okay.

“Everything‘a fine Spike.” She said, letting go of his hand and rushing ahead with all the joy she would had the day she had when she was surrounded by her animal friends. So much so she wasn’t watching where she was going.

“Fluttershy watch out.” Spike called out to her, but it was too late as she stumbled into what had appeared to be an overgrown bush had instead turned out to be a cave.

She lost her foot, and fell through branches, twigs, leaves, rock and crystal. Tumbling down until she found herself laying face first at the base.

“HAPPY ROOTAVERSARY!” An all too familiar voice screamed, scaring Fluttershy to her feet in a panic. Eyes darting in every direction until they landed on a holographic image of Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie?” Fluttershy gasped as she got to her feet. Her eyes darting to examine the imitation of her party friend, before she heard footsteps rushing up behind her.

“Fluttershy are you okay you took a pretty nasty-“ Spike skidded to a stop as he came face to face with the Pinkie hologram. "Guess you found the Root of Laughter then."

"Yeparinui." The Element of Laughter cheered, jumping with joy. Peering behind the hologram Fluttrshy saw a crystal root behind the Element of Laughter with Pinkie's cutie mark on it.

"Guess you're getting this power then." Spike said offering Fluttershy a hand. As she got up Fluttershy's eyes were fixed on the Element of Laughter's face, who never stopped hopping on her foot in anticipation.

"But shouldn't it be Pinkie's?" Fluttershy asked, eyes darting to Element of Laughter.

"No silly you found me so you get the power." The Element of Laughter explained. "And what a power it is. You want to hear it? You wanna? You wanna?"

"Um I suppose I would like that if it isn't too much trouble." Fluttershy said, as if she was asking some great favor.

"No trouble at all silly. NOW-" The Element of Laughter, much like Pinkie would do, pulled out a list from thin air. "So congratulations Fluttershy you are now the proud owner of the power of the Root of Laughter, now you have the power well to make everything normal."

Fluttershy glanced at Spike. "Um could you explain please in a bit more detail?"

The Element of Laughter tapped her chin in thought. "You know when you want to throw a party at three in the morning but everypony says it's too early and that you should be in sleep."

"Not in the slightest." Spike said, and Fluttershy couldn't help but agree.

"Well in that case this power will make it so instead of saying 'It's late get out of my house' They'll say sounds fun Pinkie and perfectly normal. With no issues at all." The Element of Laughter explained, her mouth going a mile a minute. "And now you can do all the fun parties others aren't imaginative of. You know like sky diving parties, explosion parties, orgies. And everypony will be okay with it."

"You don't think-." Spike said before stopping himself. "Almost made a very big mistake there. What I mean to say is something along the lines of hopefully Pinkie doesn't think these party ideas are a good idea."

Fluttershy was silent however, her eyes now looking over Spike's body. His wonderful muscles, tightly restrained in his small clothes, his toned buttocks, bulging powerful tail, and huge, throbbing, enticing dick. And now Rarity wouldn't mind if she... if she...

"Let's go find the other roots." She whispered, taking him by the hand and rushing out of the cave.

"Have fun." The Element of Laughter shouted, waving them off. One they were safely alone and out of the range of the woods Fluttershy pulled Spike to one side. Despite this sudden act of aggression Spike simply waiting patiently. Aroused now beyond measure she placed a hand on his crotch and found to her delight his cock was every bit as strong and powerful as she hoped. And arousing to think about.

"Do you need something?" He asked, politely. Paying no attention to Fluttershy had no doubt. She'd never felt like this before, so aroused and now she was certain she did. need. something.

In uncharacteristic boldness she cupped his cheeks. "Only this."

She pulled him in to a kiss as her insides erupted into a tornado of hormones.

A/N: Following a suggestion and to prevent overlap, I've remodeled the root of kindness idea to be a mind/ empathy reading power instead of what it was before. Feel free to leave suggestions.

Also fun fact when I was first thinking of the other roots of harmony powers I was initially stuck on laughter I had actually thought about making it so it would just be the Pinkie Sense, with the reveal that Pinkie had come across it long ago.
