Lotus gets a very weird customer. One with magical powers, and who has a very bad mane day.

I am doing the 30 minute challenge, and came up with this, in roughly 30 minutes! It is about Aloe and Lotus at the spa, when Lotus gets a very unusual customer and her weird antics. This may involve some snakes, butter and other "Terrifying" things in one's mane. Lotus sees this new customer, and has pretty good magic. And when I mean pretty good, I mean great. Will the turquoise pony survive the customer's antics, or will she faint, and never want to serve a pink pony again?

Also, there is a Doctor Whooves and Derpy ship in this story.

The Customer

It was a rainy day at Ponyville, and a stormy one too. Any pony's manes could be blown this way and that, so good thing for the spa! Aloe and Lotus are doing what their special talents told them too. Which is to fix pony's manes and tail, and walk out bright and better each day! What was so special about this day, was the very strange visitor that arrived...

"Oh Lotus! Could you do my left shoulder? It has a cramp there." Derpy said to Lotus, who was working her back. She probably sprained a leg, due to crash landing, again. Lotus was happy to help. Her sister, Aloe, was right next to her, doing Doctor Whooves. With those two side by side, they can do anything done at the spa! They were doing the final touches when they announced:

"All done darlings! You can get up now!" They said in harmony.

"Oh why thank you, Aloe, and Lotus, Derpy and I had the most relaxing time today! I have never felt like that in YEARS!" Doctor Whooves exclaimed.

"Yeah! Thank you Lotus, it feels all better now! I should recommend this to Amethyst. See you around!" Derpy then said after her husband.

As they walked away, side to side, Lotus got a message from Bulk saying that there is a new customer. Saying bye to her sister, she trotted down to the waiting room, and called out from the list.

"Screwball."

A pink pony with sun glasses, coat and hat, looked up because of her name and walked over and took her hat off. She had a propeller beanie underneath the fedora, which doesn't seem big enough to fit it. Either way, she followed Lotus to her room and took off her jacket and sunglasses, revealing purple and pink swirly eyes! Also while she magically took off her clothes, she did it without a horn! All which confused Lotus, but she just shook the thought. Screwball laid down on the seat and closed her eyes.

"How was the storm, er, Screwball?" Lotus asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Oh, that storm? It was made by me. Wasn't my best work, could have added lemonade, but it was still good." She said calmly, not expecting an exclamation.

"Oh my! That's, interesting, are you part of the weather team?" Lotus then said as she worked Screwball's hair.

"Nope! Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you-" But was cut off by a SSSssss.

"EEEeeee!!! A SNAKE!" Lotus shrieked.

"Relax! That's harmless! Also, there could be worse stuff in there!" Screwball whispered, pointing towards her mane.

Scared of what else could be inside, she slowly applied shampoo and washed it all out, but revealing her hair to be as melty as butter! Which, was probably butter.Oh no, did I use the WRONG one?! Lotus panicked in her mind. She then planned her words out, saying:
"Your mane is as slick as butter darling!" Hoping not to terrify her.

"Oh really? That's great! Oh, by the way, could you make it more poofy? Also airy, that would be great!" She said.

"Oh heheh, o-kay then..." Lotus trailed away because of what she was looking at. It was just a normal purple and white mane, without any snake heads popping out or it being melted like butter it was-"OW!" Lotus whispered loudly because of touching her mane. Her mane appeared to be flaming hot! She immediately put water on it, hoping it was normal fire, and it extinguished into the purple and white mane. She then turned around and grabbed the conditioner, but when she looked again, it was back to normal. Sighing, Lotus washed the conditioner with her hair and grabbed the comb and brush. Combing the newly washed hair, she got a knot and tugged as hard as she could, without hurting Screwball. Trying to look at her expression to see if it was full of pain, but was surprised it wasn't, she tugged as hard as she could and then Screwball's mane was gone! Just gone out of existence! Screwball was just turning around to look at Lotus and said,

"Did you make it fluffy and airy? Because I feel the wind blowing across my head as if my mane were gone! Now, make it curly, but not too curly, but sort of like this town's baker that is pink! I want mine to be similar! Okay? You got that? Good."

Screwball then turned back to facing away from her and waited for Lotus to do her hair, but Lotus was a bit frozen due to the speed of the events. Too big of a beanie to fit in a fedora, her hair being infested with snakes, her hair turning into butter, her hair then being as hot as fire, and to top it all off, her hair just disappears! Lotus was getting a headache of just thinking of what could pop up next...

"Are you going to get going or what?"

Screwball's words made Lotus snap out of her daze and then asked some more as she "washed her hair."

"What other clouds can you make?" Lotus questioned.

"Oh. Hmm.... a pillow cloud, an invisible cloud..." Screwball rattled off as she made smaller versions of the clouds using her magic."Cheese cloud, Chess cloud, a cloud that rains bits, Oh! A cloud that rains baseballs! That would make great hail!"

"Umm, may I ask, what happened to your hair to make it this messy?!" Lotus intrigued.

"Magic."

"Pardon?"

"I said, Magic!" Screwball said a bit louder.

"Oh, excuse me, I, I just never thought it would be that reason. Also, where did your-"

"Oops! Time to go!" Screwball then got up and started flying with her propeller beanie.

"Bye bye! Thanks for the spa treatment!" Screwball said as she whisked away, making her disappeared hair reappear and pop back into place on her head beneath the beanie.

Lotus sighed. Oh my, what a day....
