Celestia has never been one to complain about her duties as a Princess, but every now and then, she does enjoy a bit of pampering. Although Canterlot is renowned for its upscale amenities, the spa run by Aloe and Lotus in Ponyville is her favorite spot for a clandestine, indulgent retreat. When she arrives to find that her reservation has been accidentally booked at a new spa annex, she agrees to try it out. Even if it isn’t one that usually caters to ponies. What harm could come from trying something new?

A BIG thanks to my editor, EverfreePony, for all the hard work that went into making this readable.
