5: an incorrectly numbered chapter just to f*ck with all of you.

Fluttershy blushed lightly as Rarity dragged her along. All she wanted to do was march right up to Ice and confess herself, but that would mean talking to Ice… and that would be…

“Oh my.” Fluttershy almost hid behind her wings again. That had been weird enough to explain to Rarity the first time.

“Fluttershy, darling? Is something the matter?”

“...Oh, n-not really Rarity. J-just thinking.”

“Thinking about what darling? It’s a bit rude to say something like that and not explain.”

“Um… Ice. I-I was wondering what she’s doing right now.”

“Hey guys!” Rarity and Fluttershy ducked in unison as Rainbow Dash sailed overhead at close range.

“H-hey Dash, how is Ice? Is she okay? Is she hungry. I bet the poor dear is so hungry.

“She sounded fine to me…” Dash petered off, realizing her friend wasn’t even listening. “Look, Flutters’. That chick is Twi’s. I don’t think you going in is advisable. I know it’s rare for you to look at ponies like this, but you have to tone it down! Even if you’ve got a chance, this crazy fixation type of affection will just drive her away!”

Fluttershy blushed and shied away behind her wings. “B-but that s-soft fur… those eyes… she’s b-beautiful!”

“I know that, ‘Shy, but you’ve got to learn a little subtlety when pursuing a filly. Take it from me, they don’t always like you strutting your stuff too much.” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes as Rarity had a“coughing” fit.

“*hem* Well, Rainbow, it would seem you’re quite the, how you would say, ‘filly’s mare’ aren’t you?”

“Seriously Rares? Even the fastest pony alive needs to take it slow beneath the sheets. If you find that hard to believe, you can shove it up your-”

“Girls, I thought we were going to the spa. What the buck are you talking about out here?” All three conspirators turned as their familiar purple prey stepped in between them.

“Nothing. Let’s go!”

Alex looked around nervously as Twilight lead him down the street after Rainbow Dash. He knew he should have been more confused, but everything still carried a tint of surrealism. The tint of disbelief had disappeared when the shock of Discord's trick struck him. But it came roaring back while he was literally deep throating the magical purple land narwhal’s enormous purple prick..

Alex sighed as he forced his pulse to calm down. Fangirling over a purple horse-cock with black speckles wouldn't help anything. Even if it did smell like a sex god's bedroom and was as warm as a space heater. Even if it did shoot out so much thick, creamy and delicious cum that a sex goddess would whore herself out over it. Even if...

Funny, Alex couldn't remember being this poetic back when it was actually buried in his throat. It must have been the oxygen deprivation.

Alex stopped to wonder what it would be like to be-

"Alex, we're here." Alex jerked back to reality with a massive blush. "Now, remember, the odd colored sister knows about my... condition. Don't let anypony but her close."

'Wait, when the fuck did Twilight say that?' Alex shook off his confusion, too embarrassed to ask questions about things she had supposedly already talked to him about.

The Spa was... actually par for the course, compared to the surrounding town's buildings. It was obviously solid, but it was shaped and colored like a massive tent. On the front was a sign featuring a white pony with a long flowy mane of gold. The peaks in the tent were tiny little gilded fleur de Lis statues, although they could have been made from real gold for all I knew.The center statue was of an elaborate crown.

Despite the design of the tent, there were massive floor-to-ceiling windows that probably drove the electricity bills through the roof. And to top it all off the door had hearts. The door had hearts.

Equestrian architects deserved no mercy or quarter.

I smiled as I remembered the episode where they went to Manehatten. Perhaps not all Equestrian architects were execution worthy, maybe.

Regardless, this building's designer had a small spike filled pit awaiting him, just as soon as I could make the pit and find him.

Twilight opened the door for me magically, and I stepped in. Inside was far better than the outside. There was a round room with waiting chairs and a desk with, who I recognized as,one of the spa twins.

Aloe smiled as she gently pressed her pink hooves against the back of the earthpony mare on the table, and gently breathed out along her neck. Admittedly the breathing thing was more relaxing for pegasi, but earthponies enjoyed it as well. It also moved an annoying blue strand of hair that had been bothering her.

*ding*

She didn't stop what she was doing, lotus was working the desk today and ,honestly, she prefered the more hooves on interaction with their clients over desk work.

*ding*

Lotus smiled as the entry bell rang, thoughts of bit purses jingling in her head. The entry bell was one of her favorite sounds, aside from the moans and cricks of a satisfied customer.

She looked up, but to her disappointment it was an unfamiliar mare, Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy. If Lotus was being honest, she far preferred stallions to mares.

Lotus turned down to make note of a set of Rarity package purchases.

"Hey, are you going to serve us?" Lotus turned back in shock at the sound of the speed jockey addressing her. She had seen the prismatic mane, but the pegasus had never actually come into the spa. For a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Miss Lotus?" Lotus quickly recovered with a smile. Customers were customers after all.

"Of course dear. Miss Rarity, I assume you want the usual?" As always the unicorn nodded. "Miss Twilight, I assume you are requesting miss Vera's attendance today?"

The unicorn nodded, but pointed to her maid companion as well. “She’ll also be requiring Vera’s services.”

Lotus' snout scrunched up, much like it had when Twilight first requested to use Vera’s services. Before that point, no pony had requested her younger sister's services, unfortunately. While Lotus might hate everypony who refused to use her sister’s services, she could understand their reluctance to hire a-a futanari.

But her sister had come crying to her once Twilight's session with her ended. It seemed the unicorn was far more accepting of the unusual than the majority of the town's residents.

Regardless, it would be terrible for business if another mare got surprised by Vera's... multi functionality.

"Princess, are you sure that-" Twilight gave her a stare that could curdle manticore milk. Lotus quickly dropped the question.

"Two Raritys, two Twilights, and a Wonderbolt."

"Wait, WONDERBOLT?!" Lotus jumped back as the blue Pegasus flew up into her face and stared into her eyes. "What do you mean Wonderbolt?" Lotus rapidly backed away from the aggressive eagle stare of the fastest pony in existence.

"W-well, I just assumed you'd want what they ordered back when they visited during tornado season." The rainbow maned one huffed but backed up.

Lotus let out a relieved sigh.

Once she was sure Rainbow Dash wasn't attacking her, she turned the desk sign to 'be right back,' and slipped behind the curtain.

Vera sighed as she scrubbed down the tub. Twilight's bi-monthly appointment wasn't for a few more days, and until then scrubbing was all her sisters had for her. They never liked to make her do all the cleaning but, in the end, she had to carry her own weight, and she refused to work less than she did already.

Much to her chagrin, though, even with all the cleaning she did, she still clocked less hours than her older sisters.

Not with Twilight though. When Twilight visited for an appointment, it was like a fairy tale. Vera became the royal attendant, and it was her that got to pamper purple pony princesses. It was her that got to make them sigh and smile.

To top it all off, the Princess had trusted Vera with a secret not even her closest friends knew. It was a secret that united them, and allowed Princess Twilight to share other things with Vera that she trusted with no other.

They were just the same!

Vera's heart soared just thinking of the fateful day a few months ago, the day that Twilight had revealed the extra little bit between her legs. The day Vera fell in love...

"Hey Vera!" Vera turned in shock as the well remembered voice of the Princess, Twilight Sparkle, graced her ears. Today wasn't a spa day, w-was Twilight here just to visit her? P-perhaps...

Vera stopped when she spotted what looked like a cute maid right out of a neighponese anime cartoon behind the purple princess. Who was this interloper? Who dared to interfere in her duties as the Princess's attendant?!

"Vera, are you okay?" Vera shook off her confusion. The answer was obvious. Twilight just had a servant who confessed that she was interested in futas and she was trying to play matchmaker or something. The princess normally lowered the notice-me-not spell she kept on her cock in public, and she hadn't lowered it now. All Vera would have to do was let the maid down gently and Twilight was hers again.

"Of course, my Princess. Might I ask who your friend is?" Twilight blinked uncertainly, but turned to the maid. Now that she was looking harder, Vera noticed that the maid was standing behind Princess Twilight, but at the same time pressed against the purple prize.

"This is ... Vera, I'm sorry, but I need you to promise to keep what I'm about to say a secret." Vera recoiled in shock. The Princess trusted her implicitly. She had confided everything to Vera before.

No, perhaps this maid carried a secret that Twilight was trying to protect, but she could only tell Vera with a promise of secrecy because the maid had placed a Geas on the princess.

"I swear, Princess." Twilight let out a sigh of relief, and then she began to approach.

Vera chuckled awkwardly as Twilight stared her down, but deep inside a pit of dread was growing.

"Vera. This is Alex. As far as anyone else knows his name is Ice Closet." Vera turned in shock to the young... pony in the maid outfit. Surely Twilight had meant 'her' name was Ice Closet?

"Twilight, but, he-his shape. Surely you're joking!" Vera's heart dropped in confusion as Twilight slowly shook her head no. Why was Twilight hiding the fact that he was a colt, unless...

"Your highness, a-are you two bucking?" Vera's heart tore as Twilight's face blanched. Twilight was in a relationship. Vera never stood a chance. "Oh."

Vera sagged in defeat, she'd been beaten by a colt in a dress. This was it. If even her highness thought she was not worth even touching, then-

Vera looked back up as Twilight wiped away tears she didn't know she'd been crying.

"Vera's it's all really complicated. This wasn't my idea." Vera stopped cold as a small drop of hope glimmered in her eyes. "I won't lie, I find him attractive, but if I don't buck him he'll never be able to see his family again."

Vera took a deep ragged breath in as she struggled to understand what was going on. The way Twilight put it... Vera couldn't understand what could possibly keep the colt from going home. Twilight was the Princess of MAGIC! Vera knew that even her earth pony magic could do amazing things in times of extremity. Twilight had all three, she should be able to do anything!

"Vera. I need him to stay with you and your sisters." Vera's mind lit on fire as an idea struck her. T-twilight might never love her, but she could use Alex as leverage to force Twilight to notice her a little. She could never refuse her Princess, but just a chance to see her more, to talk to her more would be invaluable if she ever hoped to become more than a confidant.

"I-I'll do it, but on one condition." Twilight's ears rose questioningly, but Vera held back her request as her mind raced to perfect it. Too forceful and Twilight would feel betrayed, too weak and she wouldn't have gained anything. "You must... p-pay me with a nice dinner every few weeks. We never see each other enough, and I think a request like this means that I deserve a chance to be more of a friend than somepony you hire twice a month." Twilight let out a sigh of relief, and Vera's heart soared as Twilight have her an honest smile.

"Vera, all you had to do was ask. I'd love to be better friends." Vera surged forward and held Princess Twilight for the first time. Her heart kept replaying the word love again and again, even though she knew that wasn't what the Princess had meant.

Vera's heart soared as she slipped out of her Princess' hold to go prepare a nice bath and a set of heated towels. She gave the colt in the dress another look over. She could tell just by looking that he couldn't handle the same heat Twilight could. She'd have to time the removal of one set of the towels just right. Too soon and they would be too cold for him. Too late and they'd be too hot.

Vera wasn't worried. She'd get it right if she didn't get distracted. Making ponies relax was her passion after all.
