Rarity paced back and forth in the spa’s waiting room, huffing impatiently. “It’s not like her to be late. Where could she be?”

“Um, Miss Rarity? I don’t mean to be rude, but you’re going to wear a hole in our carpeting…” Aloe interjected, watching her anxiously run around from behind the counter.

“Ah, terribly sorry, I’m just a little extra bit antsy today waiting for-Fluttershy!” Rarity sighed in relief as she heard the bell ringing, seeing her friend at the door.

Fluttershy was quick to apologize. “Oh, I’m so sorry I’m late, Rarity! I was going to be here on time, but Twilight-”

“You can tell me later, I’ve been dying to get the deluxe treatment today!” She quickly grabbed onto Fluttershy’s hoof, eagerly dragging her into the spa area in the back.

The first order of business was the sauna. Rarity and Fluttershy sat together in the wooden room as Lotus poured the hot water on the heated rocks.

“So, you were saying something about Twilight earlier, Fluttershy?” Rarity asked as the steam started to fill up the room.

“Oh! Right! I was on my way to the spa, when Twilight stopped me on the way over,” Fluttershy explained. “She said that Shining Armor had come over for a surprise visit.”

“Well, that’s nice, but why did it cause such a delay?” Rarity leaned back, relaxing in the steam.

Fluttershy’s face started turning red, and Rarity could tell it wasn’t from the heat of the room. “It’s um...because he was there with her.”

Rarity curiously leaned in. “Oooh? And what’s so special about that?”

“Um...it’s b-because…he...um...I...” Fluttershy started squeaking and stammering, covering up her face.

“Fluttershy? Is everything alright? Was it something he did? Was it something you said? Oh, don’t leave me hanging, darling!”

Fluttershy took a deep breath. “Y-Yes...just...I saw the effects of Shining’s…’Chastity Shield’ spell…”

Rarity looked at Fluttershy with a more amused expression. “Ahhh, that explains it. So, what sort of little trick did he have up his sleeve this time?”

Fluttershy nervously pressed her hooves together. “Well, he said that it made it invisible, b-but it definitely didn’t seem that way to me…”

Rarity raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that, darling?”

“A-Apparently it’s only invisible to him…” Fluttershy explained. “B-But to everyone else, it’s still there...and...and he’s just...hard…”

“Well, that must have been quite the sight to see.” Rarity let out a low whistle, starting to feel some internal heat. “Though that still doesn’t quite explain why you were so late.”

“You should’ve seen it…I think he’s just...hard all the time with that spell in effect.” Fluttershy’s wings started to extend out, shivering despite the heat of the sauna.

“So, you were so distracted ogling that you forgot all about our appointment?” Rarity grinned, lightly teasing her friend.

“I-I’m sorry!” Fluttershy started hiding behind her wings. “It was just...for some reason, I couldn’t look away! ...I don’t think I’ve seen it so...big before…”

Rarity softly chuckled. “Well, perhaps I’ll have to see for myself if it was enough to be distracting…Is Shining aware of the...side effects?”

“I think so, though I guess he doesn’t mind.” Fluttershy slowly nodded. “...And I don’t either.” she said under her breath.

Rarity still managed to catch what she said, giggling out loud. “Well, I suppose I can forgive you for being late…”

The two leaned back in their seats, sighing as they relaxed in the steamy heat, feeling the stress melting away.

“We’re almost at the end of the month, are you excited?”

“Mmhm! Only a week left to go!” Fluttershy grinned, her wings partially spreading out in a display of growing excitement.

“I’ve got a little surprise ready for our little celebration later,” Rarity teased, waggling her eyebrows.

“Ooh, really?” Fluttershy’s mind started to go through the possibilities, fidgeting in her seat with excitement.

“Just a little something for a ‘stiff wing massage’, if you know what I’m saying.”

“Eee…!”

Once their time in the sauna was up, a full-body massage was next on the menu. Fluttershy and Rarity laid face down on the massage tables, their bodies already relaxed and waiting as they slid their faces into the holes at the top.

“So...how have you been doing, Rarity?” Fluttershy asked, turning her head slightly through the hole in the table.

“I’ve been doing...alright,” Rarity said hesitantly. “Finally finished up that commission for Princess Luna, so I’ve been wanting this as a little self-reward. I’ve been feeling so tense lately...”

“Oh, that’s wonderful! I’m sure she’s going to love it!” Fluttershy nodded happily. “And I’m sure she’s going to look wonderful wearing it!”

“Mmm, yes, I’ve had to take plenty of measurements to make sure it fit just right…”

Aloe and Lotus soon came to the massage tables. “Hello ladies! Are you ready for us?”

“Oh yes, please!” Rarity nodded. “Go right ahead!”

The spa twins wasted no time, pressing their hooves into the girls’ backs.

They were immediately met with happy sighs and relaxed moans. Fluttershy’s wings started twitching as she felt Aloe’s hooves get rid of a few knots she didn’t know she had.

“Nnnf...riiight there…” Rarity sighed, her hooves reflexively kicking out.

Lotus pressed harder into Rarity’s back, making her satisfied moans grow louder. “Like this, Miss Rarity?”

“Ohhh yessss…”

Aloe pressed into Fluttershy’s wings, rubbing her hooves into the base of her feathery wings.

Pomf!

“Aaaaah…! Oooh, c-careful...hmm!” Fluttershy shuddered, her hooves trembling as she tried to gesture to her extended wings.

“Of course, Miss Fluttershy. I’ll take good care of your wings,” Aloe reassured her, gently rubbing her hooves all the way to her wingtips.

Lotus kneaded Rarity’s upper back, pushing into her shoulders. “How does this feel, Miss Rarity? Good?”

“Oooh yes...so goooood…” Rarity hummed, nearly losing her composure and almost drooling down on the floor.

Aloe moved to the side of the table, rubbing both sides of a single wing with her hooves. “I’m not being too rough, am I, Miss Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy was nothing but squeaks and giggles before she was able to answer. “N-noooo, you’re fiiiiine! Eeee...” Her free wing reflexively flapping around, throwing a few loose feathers about.

Lotus kept applying pressure to Rarity’s back, getting deeper into those tense shoulders, putting more of her weight into keading her tender areas.

“Aaah! Oooh! Ohhh Lotus!” Rarity cried out, starting to pound her hooves against the table.

Lotus stopped the massage, leaning over. “Is there something wrong, Miss Rarity? Do you want me to stop?”

“Aaah, on the contrary...I-I want moooore…I...I need it!” Rarity moaned with a noticeable waver in her voice. She slowly lifted up her tail, biting her lower lip. “P-Please…”

Lotus could sense the desperation in Rarity’s voice. She smiled warmly, knowing exactly what she was asking for. “Of course, right away, Miss Rarity.” She put her hooves on Rarity’s legs, rubbing her inner thighs.

Despite her efforts to hold still, Rarity’s entire body shivered, and her hoof seemed to move on its own. “Ah! Y-Yes...that’s it…!”

“So tense…” Lotus noted, tenderly rubbing Rarity’s inner thighs and stroking her cutie mark.

“Aaaah! Yes! Oooh I deseeerve thiiiiis!” Rarity cried out, shamefully giving into the pleasure. Her hoof slipped underneath her stomach, gently rubbing her clit as she felt Lotus’s hooves press into her hips.

Fluttershy was currently occupied with Aloe tending to her sensitive wings, but she turned her head to the side as much as she could when she noticed how loud Rarity was getting. She saw that her face was nearly fully red, tears of pleasure and drool dropping down as she had her tongue out. “Um...Rarity?”

“I’m sorry, Fluttershy! B-But I need thiiiis! Ooooooh!”

Lotus had already done most of the hard work, intentionally or not. Rarity raised her flank just a bit to speed things up, focusing directly on her clit as the spa pony kneaded her hooves into her cutie mark. “Nnnaah! Yes! Right there! Mmmph!”

It wasn’t long until a white and purple firework shot into the sky. The resulting explosion showed Rarity’s face with her mane pulled back, with extra red sparks to emphasize the intense blush on her face before it just faded away.

“I’m just saying, if I’m jacked up on cider, then I won’t be tempted to jack off!” Rainbow Dash explained.

“Ah said no, Dash,” Applejack grumbled. “Ah’m not gonna be held responsible for whatever you get int-”

Dash’s attempt at bargaining was interrupted by the recently launched firework, causing both mares to stare skyward.

“Serves her right,” Applejack scoffed.

“Pffft...BAAAHAHAHAHAHA! W-What is with that face?!”

Fluttershy let out a deflated sigh, shaking her head. “So much for my happy ending…”
