Tramp smiled to her as she jumped up to a sitting position, but his smile froze as she suddenly started tickling him. He wasn't used to playing, and this sudden playfulness caught him off guard. He had to fight back the urge to slap her off him, like he had often done to his brother when they had play-fought each other like this. But he caught himself in time and instead of attacking her he drew back a bit and took her hooves in his, to stop her from tickling her. He tried to smile, but it was difficult. He didn't want to ruin the moment, but he felt he couldn't answer her playfulness. He was used to so much rougher games.

Fluttershy sensed something was wrong in the way he grabbed her and held her still. She looked worried. Ordinarily, a situation like this might have drawn her back into her shell, but she felt differently with Tramp. She felt more open, more free to express herself. Now she merely felt a deep concern for him. Why didn't he respond to the game, when moments before he had shown such enjoyment of her affection? There was something more to it, but she didn't want to push. If he wanted to share, he would. She relaxed her expression into a quiet smile.
"Let me guess, you're too ticklish?" She laughed and broke away from his grip. "OK, I'll let you off this time. You better watch yourself, though, next time." She got to her feet. "I'm up for a cool shower." She winked and walked into the bathroom.

Tramp felt a little sheepish at his strong reaction, but was relieved when she took it so calmly. He had been afraid she would push him away for it.
She got to her feet. "I'm up for a cool shower." She winked and walked into the bathroom.
He smirked and got to his feet as well, following her.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked, throwing away his bad thoughts though he might have wanted to talk with her about them. Perhaps she would understand. But he felt it wasn't the time. Perhaps later.

"Yes," she said, coyly, as she closed the door in his face. On the other side, she was giddy and smiling. She turned on the water and began to sing. She had a lovely voice and she knew it. She stepped into the water and set the showerhead to pulsating massage.

Tramp was astonished when she closed the door in his face. He stood there outside staring at the door for quite a few moments in absolute shock. Then her beautiful voice floated to him from through the door, and he couldn't help laughing. A sly one, was she now?
He shook himself and brushed back the fringe that again got on his face, blocking his vision. Then he blew air a bit huffily at the closed door. But finally he felt resigned to his fate and walked away, to the kitchen to look for another soda, listening to her voice. He wasn't terribly bothered by her little trick, but he was thirsty.
She had such a lovely voice. Tramp's mind drifted off to pleasant thoughts of how it would have felt like to wake up to that voice in the mornings.

When Fluttershy was finished, she came out of the bathroom. She was massaging her hair dry with a towel.
"So, what will you do with the rest of your day?" she asked.

Tramp had got the soda by now. He looked at her appreciatively as she came out of the shower. He had always thought there was something absolutely adorable about wet-maned mares.
"Oh, no plans," he said. "Tomorrow I was going to go help out a few friends, but today... I'm all yours."
He smiled in a way he hoped was charming. He felt he had never been as good at it as his brother.

"Oooh, delightedly so," Fluttershy said. "How about we get a bite to eat at the cafe and have a walk around Pony Park?"

Tramp was delighted of the idea.
"Sure!" he said, nodding eagerly. "I'd love that."
[[ohh this gets tricky having Tramp in two different times at the same time. Do we wanna play it through or decide they had a lovely time and that they made a date for the next day or something?]]

(Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. We could just say we did something, then parted, and got together the next day. Whatever you like. )

[[yeah, we could say they went to eat together and then maybe to movies (if there's movies in Ponyville) or to a walk in the park or something romantic like that. And Tramp kissed her good night and it was all very lovely. And that they would meet the next day, say, afternoon maybe?]]
