Might Be a maybe...

Chapter 4 – Wait...we are?

The day has rolled on surprisingly pretty quickly, although its hard to really keep track of time when your watching a happy little filly performing even the simplest of spells with a childlike glee. You know Twilight said she only wanted to go over a few things, but you still doubt Velvet or Night Light should have trouble getting Violet to bed today.

It was kind of nice to see such a different side of the blue unicorn though, you have never really seen Night light smile; usually the closest thing the stallion would give you is a friendly somewhat forced grin. However it turns out magic, even a failed spell that turns his mane a different color can still bring a smile to the stallion's face...That or its just he can't get mad at a smiling and wiggling filly.

You think over the events at the house for a moment as you nod to yourself, ya i'm pretty sure it was just because nopony can get mad at Violet.

The thoughts start to come to an end as you move your eyes from your spaced out stare in front of you to now set on the slightly familiar dome like building with a few elegant sculptures of ponies in front and around the building. As you move your eyes over the approaching awe-striking white marble and stone made building you start to squint your eyes, "Twilight...didn't we get kicked out of here?"

Your eyes shift to the lavender mare as she hoovers the bag you're glad you no longer have to carry with your mouth, she nods to your comment but doesn't change her usual voice as she speaks up, "Well...Technically Prince BlueBlood was kicked out, at least thats what Celestia said in her letter. We were just...um, asked to leave."

A faint one ha laugh comes from the lavender mare as you just blink to her, "But there should be no problem, I sent them a reservation letter last week and didn't get anything back saying we were banned."

You nod your head to her words as you and Twilight start to get a little bit more near the building, as you do you start to shift your eyes around the fancy dressed up mares and stallions, that have either some kind of a sundress or regal looking top and cape like thing.

"And I doubt they would turn away anypony right now, anypony thats coming to Canterlot right now is mainly here for the Canterlot party, and thats pretty much on the other side of town. So this hotel is pretty much empty, unlike the ones near the castle." Twilight's voice comes back a little less reassuring as she almost holds a tone that calls for a response.

But you just shrug the comment off as you and Twilight start to move up the meticulously carved stone stairs that lead up to the two large glass doors. You hold your desire to show off in front of the stuck up looking ponies that have turned their gaze to the two less than regal dressed ponies walking to the building. Although you don't really mind just using your hooves to open the door for the lavender mare, its not like you're out to impress a bunch of random ponies with magic anyways...but you could.

That fact allows you to perk a smile to your face as you trot in behind Twilight. These stuck up ponies may look good, but there no fire bending, shape shifting librarian bad ass, who may or may not have a sleeping disorder.

Twilight's trot turns towards a stone what looks like fancy reception desk as her horn brings the bag next to her to float a little lower, "Hello."

Her words spark the yellow unicorn behind the desk to perk her head up from a few papers as she responds, "Oh hello..." A slight bit of judgment comes over her eyes as she continues, "Um...May I help you?"

"Yes, there should be reservation for two?" Twilight's voice comes back unaffected by the mare's tone.

"Hmmm..." The mare looks back to a paper as she repeats the name mainly to herself.

But the moment of silent humming comes to an end as she looks up, "Oh...Give me a moment."

You and Twilight watch the mare trot from behind the desk as she disappears behind a door in the back of her little area.

The sound of other ponies hooves come to your ears now as you start to drift your eyes around the room just taking in the elegant building's style.

You bring your head back to the desk as a light blue-grey stallion dressed in a half tux kind of thing step out of the door followed by the yellow mare. His half closed eyes stare quickly opens to an oh crap kind of stare as his curve mustached mouth starts up, "OH, monsieur Sparkle, Madam Sparkle. welcome back to fantaisie gras."

The stallion's warm welcome is completely faked but you don't really pay much attention to it as you slightly stare to his bouncing mustache, "What brings you back?"

Twilight greets the stallion with a friendly voice as she speaks up, "Oh um we have a reservation for two."

"Ah...you are." The stallion nods his head as he just stares between you and Twilight.

To his silence the mare beside him speaks up, "The name Sparkle is on the list...Should I call for security?"

You blink to the mare's blunt and open comment as you and Twilight look to the stallion quickly waving his hoof, "Oh no no no...Princess Celestia cleared up that problem." A laugh comes over the stallion as he begins to move from behind the desk towards where you and Twilight are, "So I guess you got the letter about your free stay?"

Twilight and you both just give each other a look as she speaks up, "Um, no?"

The stallion cocks his head in an overly dramatically faked position that would make Rarity even be impressed, "You did not?! Oh my this is terrible...Somepony from here should have alerted you of Celestia's decision."

You start to get a little annoyed to the stallion's words as you speak up, "What was Celestia's decision again? I-I can't seem to remember?" Your bad acting is obvious but you could care less seeing as how you are just trying to voice your annoyance to the stallion's faked tone.

The stallion nods his head as he speaks up in a slightly less acting voice, "Oh it was nothing, she just demanded we allow one of our best customers in and that we must allow you two your day you did not get-BUT all that matters is that you enjoy your stay!" A smile comes over the stallion as he quickly is able to control his tone,"I am sérieux, the manager of fantaisie gras."

He continues as he turns to his side with a now less than enthusiastic tone, "If you would please follow me to your...penthouse sweet we owe you."

Without another word the stallion starts his trot up as you and Twilight follow after him.

You and Twilight follow the stallion up two flights of stairs mostly in silence, but your following of the stallion seems to have run it's course as he stops to the last door at the end of the inside balcony hallway.

He turns around as he moves a bright brass key from the pocket of his upper tux, "Here you two are, fantaisie gras's penthouse sweet..." The stallion's voice drops a little as Twilight takes the key up to her magical hold, "Now fantaisie gras's policy is no magic in the grounds." His eyes pin to the floating key and bag in Twilight's hold as he continues, "That is fine..." The stare doesn't stay to the lavender mare for long as he switches to you, "But there will be no magic in or around the hotel."

You give a faint smirk as you nod your head.

"I hope you two enjoy your free stay." The stallion trots past you and Twilight as he nods his head goodbye.

You and Twilight wait a moment before the key is floated to the door and you follow after Twilight inside.

As you do you close the door behind you and just stare to the large almost house like room in front of you, "Whoa?"

Twilight follows your comment as she floats the bag to the fancy rose covered folded covers of the huge satin white pillow of the bed, "I can't believe they would give us such a big room for pretty much a half a day and a night?"

You give a little laugh as you take your satchel from yourself and float it next to you, "All hail Princess Do Nothing...she can't fight or save anypony, but she sure can make up for a ruined trip."

Twilight rolls her eyes to the comment as she starts towards the closed double glass doors of the outside balcony, "Oooh, what a nice view...Even the castle doesn't look over the city like this."

You smile to the comment as you trot yourself and the floating bag towards the closed bathroom door, as you open it you poke a little fun to the lavender mare as you call from the room, "Oooh a big bathroom, now I won't have to wait in the morning for you."

The comment sparks the mare to turn back towards your smile as she shakes her head, "Cute.." Her trot comes back to her as she moves the bag from the bed, "And you know you do take longer than me."

You squint to her comment as you think it over, "Pfff."

A little giggle comes from Twilight as she cocks her head, "So what do you want to do? We still have about two hours before dinner, you want to go to the spa or something?"

Your answer comes quick as you float your satchel towards the counter of the bathroom, "Uh...Probably not." You hold a smile as you hope she can't read your mind as the thoughts about last time run through it.

Twilight shrugs to the comment as she speaks up, "Oooh you know I think they have an art show case here as well."

The fake smile you had slightly fades as you watch Twilight trotting pass you, yay?
