Chapter 6 – Hows it going ponyboy?

The sun outside has started to drift to the bottom of the world as the day begins to come to an end. The encounter with Lord Hoofting has been pushed from your mind as you now hold your mind to the new annoying thing that test your patience.

Your hoof taps to the cold marble floor as you hold your gaze to the closed bathroom door, "...Twilight?"

The voice comes from behind the door as it comes to the room, "Um...just a minute."

You take a deep breath as you hold a smirk to yourself, my tux only took a few seconds to get on. As you hold the thought you drift your eyes over the sleek and fitted black top you have on as you think to yourself, and I still look good.

Your self held thoughts are brought to an end as you hear a knock at the door, you blink a little confused to the sound as you turn your head to the room's door and think, Rainbow?

Without another moment you move towards the door as you open it to a brown earthy toned unicorn mare, "Hello sir, I was asked to deliver this to your room."

You drift your eyes to a letter in her pink magic's hold, with a nod of the head you take the paper and the mare leaves. You close the door as you float the paper open and start to read it aloud. "Hello Mr. And Mrs. Sparkle, I hope this letter comes to you when you get back, just would like you to have a way to contact us signed Lord Hoofting..." You blow the rest of the letter off as you notice the posting stuff.

"Who was that?" Twilight's voice no longer holds a muffled tone as the door to the bathroom comes open to the lavender mare, wearing a royal blue and white dress that covers her upper neck and back all the way to her flank, her mane has been curled to mostly one side flashing her purple highlights a little better and showing of the white gold horn band that sits proudly to her horn.

You look over the mare with a smile as you float the letter away from you, "It's nothing...You look nice."

The usually confident and in control mare gives a sweet smile as she slightly averts her eyes away from you, "Thank you." You look over her slight turn of face as you hold your stare, you've never really been able to understand why she acts so distant from complements but before you can speak up her normal tone comes back, "Well lets get going, don't want to get there when it's crowded with ponies."

You wait for the mare to start out the door as you follow after her, still just admiring the glow the mare puts out when she dresses up.

The trot through the slightly familiar building comes to an end as you notice a sigh, La bonne, You look over the sign in front of the restaurant as you near the pony standing at the reception desk, "Hello, dining for two?"

You and Twilight both nod to the waiter dressed light amber unicorn stallion. He holds his hoof out to the room as he waits for you too follow in behind him.

You look around the elegant room as you walk in, the tables and chairs are covered with a vinyl deep red with gold trim, each table seats two and a tiny candle burns in the middle. But the pleasantly dim lit rooms regal decorations are not the only thing that enter your mind, the room is filled with soft piano music that is being played by a pale green mare in the corner of the room...You blink to the pony band as you notice a familiar grey coated mare with dark black mane, you nod to yourself as you think, well Octavia really does get around.

Your thoughts come to an end as the stallion leading you stops to a table, "Here you go."

He patiently waits as you and Twilight take your seats before he floats over some menus to you, "Would you like fresh salad while you wait?"

You and Twilight both nod your heads as he talks again, "I will return for your order when your ready."

As the pony leaves the table you bring your eyes to Twilight for a moment as you watch the mare holding the menu in her hooves, you speak up in a quiet voice as to not disrupt the room's music, "You know you can just take the horn ban off if you want to use your magic."

Twilight's eyes drift up for a moment as she smiles, "But then I wouldn't be wearing it."

You shrug to the comment as you look over the menu...fresh something...some kind of fruit thing....another fruit thing...you search the menu some more as you look for something that is not just green. But as you do this you remember something that brings back a slightly sad thought, pizza...you can only get pizza for room service. You lower your eyes to fancy printed text as you look over a few other names, what is Pasta Cacio E Pepe?

"Here you go." You hold the menu from the table as the stallion hovers to bowls of salad to your table.

Oh ya...now I remember everything is fast here. You look over the good looking food as he sets it down...Well at least its good.

As the stallion sets the plates down he turns his eyes to you, "Hey...Were you that pony that got kicked out with Prince Blueblood?"

You and Twilight hold your heads to the stallion as you speak up, "Uh...ya?"

The stallion smiles as he looks over his shoulders for a quick moment, but he pokes his head back to you as he speaks in a whisper, "Thanks for that, that stallion use to come in every week, royalty or not he deserved it." The stallion's eyes widen a little as he continues, "Just wondering, you weren't that pony that turned his mane right?"

You get a little grin as you nod your head, You feel a little cocky to your words as the stallion nods and turns away still holding his smile.

Twilight starts up in a little giggle as she leans talks, "What was he talking about?"

You follow her light laugh as you shrug a little coy. But you don't get to make your own remark as the stallion comes back to the table with a bottle in his hold.

"Hey listen, as a token of gratitude from the waiting staff here I would like to extend to you two one of our Hearts and Hooves day specials..." The stallion brings his voice down to another whisper as he continues, "It's on the house."

You and Twilight watch as the stallion places the bottle and two crystal wine glasses to the table. The action comes to an end as he trots away from the table leaving you and Twilight with nothing else to do or say but laugh a little not really knowing what to think.

You hold a smile to the mare across from you as you take a risk and float the bottle over the glasses and begin to pour, making sure to keep your mind cool as to not burn or break the bottle. As the two glasses come to a half full cup you float Twilight's towards her as you hold yours above the table.

Twilight copies your motion as you speak up in a low and slightly less than confident voice, "Uh...heres to finally getting a nice dinner I think?"

You both give a little laugh as you clang the glasses together and bring them back to yourselves for a sip, the wine is definitely a sweet red grape and you let out another laugh as you set it back to the table, note to self watch Twilight's drinking.
