Deluxe

In the small town of Ponyville, within a tall building by the name of Carousel Boutique resided the local seamstress, Rarity. She was humming a sweet little song as she worked, cleaning up the mess she usually leaves behind in her bedroom after coming up with new designs.

With a sudden crash, the door swung open, revealing a mustard yellow coated unicorn with a purple mane of two shades. Rarity wasn’t startled by the noise at all, for she had gotten used to it. Still, a little spicy comment couldn’t hurt much.

"Still haven’t learnt how to knock yet, Agate?" she asked, not even bothering to look up at her friend. Agate—an armorsmith from Canterlot—had been residing at the boutique for almost a week now. The unicorns had become good pals in the meantime. There was still a bit more than a week until the big day, but instead of being relieved she could get rid of the smith afterwards, Rarity felt a bit sad she had to let Agate go. Not now though, she wasn’t going to let anything drag her down today.

"I haven't taken that lesson yet," Agate giggled as she strolled closer. She took lessons from the seamstress and the local bassist, Octavia on a regular basis. It was cruicial for her learn some manners, for she was no average Canterlotian. Compared to the standards set in that city, she was way below average to tell the truth.

"Oh, Agate," Rarity laughed, "You are so funny." she told her, her whole sentence echoing from sarcasm as it seemed she could erupt like a volcano in any moment.

"Today's the big day, huh? Strange you haven't been to the spa, yet," Agate said as she wandered around to help her friend out.

The spa, ever since Agate received the VIP membership from the twins—making them the only two in town so far—she couldn't stop blabbering about it, as if she were obsessed with that place.

Or more likely, obsessed with the ones running them.

"Speaking of which, remember when Aloe said the whole VIP stuff comes with special services?" Agate asked.

Oh, Rarity knew what she meant. After all, what else could somepony like her mean.

"No, they don't do 'that', don't bother asking," she shouted back in frustration.

"Do what?" Agate asked curiously.

"They don't..." she trailed off; the word to come was too... unclean for her tongue, saying it would just make her want to wash her mouth with soap, "fornicate with their patrons."

"What?" Agate asked as she tilted her head. Her vocabulary wasn’t exactly expansive, there was no other choice for the lady but to say it the most obnoxious but straightforward way.

"They don't have sex with their clients!" she spat out in a disgusted voice. The word 'sex' itself just gave her the feeling she was vomiting.

"Ooh," Agate replied, "You should have just said that in the first place, you know your fancy words are not my stuff." she chuckled. Of course, while they knew each other quite well, Agate was yet to figure out the complex labyrinth of a mind her friend had.

"Not sure where you got that from, though. I'm not that kind of mare." Agate continued, making the other unicorn frown even more than she already did.

"Of course, I'm pretty sure Point Blank's seashells didn't taste too salty," Rarity quipped, reminding the other pony of a little incident she’d rather was forgotten. Agate always had a bad habit of not thinking through her sentences, usually resulting in her stop too late or in the middle of it. This has gotten her into trouble more than a few times now.

"Okay, you got me," she gave in. She was a perverted little devil, and the little ram horns the seamstress found just made the pile of evidence even bigger. "I am that kind, alright... but only in this season."

The room was clean again, at last. Rarity jumped up on her bed to take a nap, but Agate wasn’t finished yet.

"Where did you get this idea from anyway?" she asked, throwing her front half onto the bed, much to Rarity’s annoyance.

Rarity let out a frustrated sigh before answering, "Stallions come up to me from time to time asking about it since I'm VIP there. I honestly don't know what they expect. Shameless bastards should be taught a lesson already."

Agate giggled a bit as she turned around to pull the curtains together. "Thanks Rares, guess I'll just let you sleep some more."

"Thanks darling," The unicorn murmured as she made herself comfortable in her bed with a yawn. She was so exhausted she felt like she could fall asleep right that second.

Agate tip-toed out from the room, for she knew where she needed to go for more information. The smith had something in mind about it, something that would work out in favor for both the spa and Rarity too.

The route to the spa came almost naturally to her by now. The unicorn trotted down the orange-painted streets with a delightful smile. She hoped she was going to have enough time for everything by the night falls.

Lotus was reading some sort of magazine on manestyles when the door opened. The earth pony however didn't rush to hide the magazine in a panic, unlike how her sister usually would.

"Good afternoon, Miss Agate!" she said without any sight of panic, as the mustard coated unicorn trotted up to her.

"Hi Lotus! I'm only here to ask something," Agate replied with a warm gaze. "I heard Rarity talking about being asked if the VIP membership includes... you know. You get these sort of questions too?" she asked, making strange gestures with her hooves. She felt it a bit too straightforward, but if anypony could have ‘straightforward’ as a middle name, then Agate was the one.

"Yes, we’ve heard about these rumors. They have been floating around for quite a while unfortunately," Lotus replied as she looked away, her face red. "It's quite embarrassing, actually, ponies thinking we give those kind of services for money," she added. Not only embarrassing, it was pretty insulting as well; she could think of quite a degrading word for those kinds of ponies.

"That's why I got an idea for how could we end it once and for all," Agate replied, smacking her hooves against the other in confidence. "How long until closing?"

"Around..." Lotus replied, "Half an hour. Miss Agate, I highly doubt it'll be possible."

Rumors were rumors, they were not something tangible, thus it did not seem possible to eliminate them. However, if the smith had something that could stop them from spreading, it was already something worth considering.

"Trust me, if we don't try it surely won't be. Here's the plan..."

It was half past five when the door of the Longstep opened, the petite but only pub of Ponyville. A few ponies, mostly stallions, were inside, but Agate headed towards the bartender. She knew about Full Jug, the owner of the pub being quite the punter, the two had a close encounter just a few days ago.

"Hey Jugsy!" she greeted him. The stallion recognized her in an instant. After all, it was the girl who was "flirting" with him yesterday in the park pool.

"Hey sweetheart, I know you couldn’t resist the temptation," the buxom gray pony replied, trying to seduce her. The effect was mostly lost on Agate, although the mare was caught in the web of sinful fantasies for a brief moment. Despite that, she broke free from without too much difficulty. She gazed over to the price list on the right, written on a chalkboard with white. It had a minimal variety, most of them she could even get from the store. Yet, it was better than nothing. After some time, she finally made up her mind.

"Just some berry booze," she said. It was cheap, and she didn't care all too much about the taste now. However, she chose that because of that conversation she overheard about a pony named Berryshine. Apparently she was the one who makes the stuff. From what she’d worked out, that mare was quite a drinker too.

"In a flash, babe." Jug winked as he turned around to get to work. He was always in it for the ladies even though he was horrible when it came to dealing with them.

"I like your style, you wrapped him around your hooves like it was nothing," a voice spoke from her left. It was a pink pony with a mane of slightly lighter color she wore in two pigtails on the side. Her voice was seductive and carefree, and her eyes just as inviting.

"Pink Slip." She introduced herself, reaching out with a hoof. Her own drink laid on the wooden table next to her; her other hoof close by.

"Agate." the other mare replied, as she shook hooves with Pink Slip. Agate didn’t plan on mentioning it, but she liked her style too.

"A pleasure to meet you," Pink Slip replied. "You like to play with the big colts, don't you? I sure do." she added, her voice sweet as honey; she truly was a seductive mare. Then something clicked in Agate's mind, a thing Shining Armor told her long before she moved to Ponyville.

'Just stay away from Pinky, or she’ll never get off your back.'

"From time to time, yes," Agate lied. This mare could easily be the one Shining was talking about. Just by the way she looked at her and talked she could guess what her friend had meant. This mare... this mare was a real seductress.

Pink Slip let out a soft, yet devilish chuckle, her wicked smile just oozed from her demonic aura. She took a look at the clock on the wall, deciding it is time to go.

"We'll meet again, I'm sure," she said, strolling past the unicorn. However, Agate felt a gentle touch brushing her thighs... the pony's tail. It seemed like an invitation, and judging from her behaviour, it wouldn’t surprise her if Pink Slip was in heat. After all, it was spring, the time of love.

"You too big boy." she shouted back in her signature voice to Jug, who muttered back some gibberish as an answer, waving his hoof as his face was sweating. Pinky  did a good job with him that was for sure. He was done with Agate's order, and put it next to the counter.

"For Celestia, I love this season of the year. Mares are much outgoing than usual." he said, staring at Pink's backside. Of course, by outgoing he meant more easier to hook them up. Agate needed just somepony like him.

"Yeah, I actually heard Lotus and Aloe opened up too. They're going to create an "After-hours therapy" for VIP members only, I can't wait to try it out tonight with Rarity." the mustard one said "God, I'm so excited, I need something to distract me." she added, turning around and heading to the table to put down her bags.

"Wait!" stopped her the barpony "Did they say anything else about it?"

"No, that's the best part of it. That it's a surprise." Agate replied as she got took a look at her purple colored drink in the wooden mug, taking a small sip afterwards. She tried to act as hyped up as she could for the impact. The plan set up, the escort en route, the foe took the bait, and the supplies on her right, the only thing that was left, was the waiting game.

Time passed by like a slug, and Agate kept switching her focus from the clock to the newspaper by her side. When the time came and she finished, she folded the paper, took her bag ands well as the mug which she gave back, then left, hoping for the bests.

In the spa, Lotus, Aloe and Rarity was all waiting for her, though the unicorn looked quite angry withered at her friend.

"There you are!" she shouted at her "I'll just have you know this is this most idiotic plan I've ever heard, Agate." she added.

"Well, it worked so far, look,." she replied, pointing towards the window, presenting her accomplishments. Aloe strolled over there to peek out a little bit, seeing about four stallions on the street. Their eyes were all glued to the building as they slowly wandered by, like they were waiting for something.

"I brought Sissy, the tomatoes and the onions, and I see you have brought the pan, the knife and the mixer, too." Agate whispered, as she did not want to be overheard by the stallions. They were getting closer and closer with each second. Their senses were locked on the spa, trying to perceive what was's going onto happen inside.

"You ready?" She asked, raising her hoof for the others to join. The smith was so determined there was no force that could stop her.

"Ready!" the twins replied, putting their hooves together on Agate's. For some reason the unicorn's enthusiasm became infectious.

"I sincerely hope this is going to work." Rarity joined in them the end with some reluctance. The operation started.

Aloe rushed around, pulling all the curtains together downstairs. That should shield everything from the seeing eyes and, blocking all but a few rays of light that could escape by the sides. Meanwhile Lotus locked the door.

"This will be amazing, so what will this surprise treatment will be all about?" Agate asked, almost shouting to have the eavesdropping stallions it clearly.

"Oh you'll see it with in time Miss Agate. Just follow me upstairs." Aloe chuckled back with just the same volume, leading the mare upstairs where the other two were already waiting.

"They're going upstairs,"Lucky, a grey stallion with a black mane, whispered to his friends. He was the guy running the Lucky Clover restaurant, not to mention he met both girls yesterday in a very inviting manner. He couldn't let this opportunity pass by.

"Okay, then what should we do?" Jug asked, not wanting to give up just yet. Of course, he was the one who told the guys about the whole thing.

"Rarity?! What are you-" Agate screamed from above, when a quick blunt clang of iron shook the building from behind.

"Agate! No!" Rarity cried, her voice vibrating for air through the tears. But of course, those tears were from the cutting of onions, not actual sadness. Agate herself picked up the frying pan Aloe had dropped on the ground and put it aside without a sound.

"What the hay is going on up there?" Caramel told down on the streets, as his friend of yellow and blue, Comet Tail went to open the door. They had both been present in the shop and overheard Agate's little information, thus they joined too.

"It's locked!" Comet said, as he tried to break in without success "Quick, Jug stand still so I can get on your back." he added, climbing onto the back of the largest stallion and signaling for the others to join the tower. The sounds of tortures, however just continued above.

"Hold still Miss Rarity, it'll just be just more painful if you keep moving around," Lotus directed as she readied one of the tomatoes on her hooves. She was waiting for Aloe's sign, who waved her hoof back and forth three times as a way of counting back.

Rarity kept crying miserably. "Please Lotus, just let me—-" but as the pink pony hit zero she erupted in a blood-curdling scream while Lotus smashed the little red little vegetable, splashing its red liquids all over the window.

The tower became instable the instant the shriek pierced the stallions' ears. The red splash on the window ensured they wouldn't be forgetting it any time soon. Yet only one piece was missing to gain vision to the happenings upstairs, and that burden fell on the lightest of them: Caramel.

Agate had snuck downstairs meanwhile, carefully peeking out from behind the curtain to see what was going on. As Caramel began his climbing, the mare winked at Aloe, who rushed upstairs to repeat the process again.

"Please!" Rarity begged in tears, "I'll do anything! Please!" Her eyes were glued on the pink pony's hoof. Lotus loaded the tomatoes into the topless mixer to unleash the ultimate "bloodshed". Meanwhile Rarity picked up her friend's little circular saw with the help of her magic for the added sound effect.

"It'll just hurt for just a little bit, Miss Rarity," Lotus soothed her, as Aloe counted back, her weapon aimed at the window. As the counter reached zero, all hell broke loose. The mixer without its top on unleashed an enormous bloody mess, painting everything towards the window red. Rarity screamed atop her lungs as if she was being carved up with a chainsaw. The "blood" covered the whole window, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

As Caramel finally made it up to the top, the entire tower was trembling in fear. The voice of the unicorn faded into silence as the machines turned off unexpectedly. Caramel raised a shaking hoof to the window and leaned forward to peer through. Yet something told him he doesn't want to look at what's behind the red curtains.

"Wait a second," a voice was heard, as a blue hoof wiped a streak in the liquid, revealing a frowning skyblue pony's face covered in the scarlet mess. Caramel's heart was working overdrive as he staggered back from the shock. He almost destabilised the tower completely, forcing Jugs below to compensate by taking a few steps back.

"A minute sister, I must take care of something," Lotus snarled, turning back from the glass as she pulled the curtains together.

"She's coming!" Caramel shouted down.

"What?"

"She's coming!!"

"Run!"

"Run! Run!"

The chaotic shouts melted into one gigantic yell as the tower collapsed backwards, throwing the stallions to the ground. All of them were paralysed as, the menacing sound of athe lock was heard from behind. They wisely deduced that they maybe they should leave, very quickly if possible. As such, the guys ran away screaming, scattering in all directions.

As their shrieks faded away, the door finally opened, revealing the four little pranksters laughing out loud at the frightened ponies. Lotus had washed her face while Agate was behind the key all along, timing was essential after all.

"Well these won't come back for a while, that's for sure," Agate giggled.

"I honestly doubted it will work, but seeing it I must say I underestimated you," Rarity complimented. "Hopefully they've learnt from it."

"Yes." Lotus shouted after the stallions who rushed out of their sight already "We'll never fornicate with our clients!"

Agate shut her eyes with a little grin. "Yeah, too bad."

Everyone stared at her with wide eyes, as she realized it was one of those slow moments again.

"Miss Agate?" Lotus asked.

"Agate, you'll need something really good to get out of this, just saying." Rarity added. Agate usually had a way to speak herself out of these situations, though most attempts ended in a complete failure.

"I mean, I was actually thinking this over, and you girls are so beautiful, I think it would have been great if we could have a beautiful and lewd night together." she replied, her nerves blazing.

Rarity smiled adorably as she tilted her head closer to her friend's, almost touching it. She onlyt said one little word: "Nymphomaniac."

Then she leaned away back to her normal stance as she started strolling towards the door.

"Ask Twilight about what that means." she added, grinning as she gazed outside when the voice of a beautician stopped her.

"I have to agree with Miss Agate," Aloe admitted, trembling in fear "Ever since I read that... having... 'that' can greatly increase one's sex appeal, I always longed for creating such therapy, and who else for that wouldn't judge us but our favorite clients? I just... can't ask you sis." she finished,added turning towards Lotus. She was right, that would have been very inappropriate... if not creepy.

All eyes were on her now, either because this little finding of hers was completely new or because Agate made her come out of her closet. Lotus was the most baffled out of all, she thought it's better to just drop the topic. It was just too awkward.

"I think it's best to part ways now, we have to clean the mess upstairs,." Lotus flustered in embarrassment, her face red.

"Yes, this reminds me, I'm need to ask the Doctor something, got to go," Rarity replied in a similar manner.

"Just a second, go on ahead," the remaining two responded simultaneously, not even affording a glance towards whom they were talking to. It was alright for the others, they let the two be together for a little more.

"Miss Agate... what I meant before—-"

"I also wish I could have it with you, you two are a miracle," Agate replied in a blink of an eye, which served as a hypothetical kick to the crotch for the earth pony. Yet she knew too well her intentions were very similar inside.

"Y-yes." she shied away "Miss Agate and Miss Rarity have been so kind to us, I-I think I'm..." but she went silent by the end of her sentence.

"I think I can convince Rarity tonight for a secret seance, like, what you two did last time when I fell asleep in the sauna," Agate suggested, recalling the memory of the last incident.

"That'd be so romantic!" Aloe replied afterwith a huge gasp "I'll try to speak with Lotus about it. Could we meet again in about an hour again?"

"Sure, how about in the park? It’s quiet there and far from the prying eyes." Agate replied, hurrying to Rarity as the girls parted ways... for now. Though she didn't have high hopes about it, she knew it does worth a try.
