Gala Day around 6AM

While Anonymous was mostly frustrated that he needed to actually get up this early, he knew that this is going to be a long day that he does not want to miss. Nor, he does want to actually forget to pick up the tuxedo that Rarity has made him. It has cost too much to be minded lightly in this situation. Anon’s pay is good, but does not make him enough to be considered a small investment.

He actually told his boss that he will be gone for the two days, and in equestria standards this is perfectly fine. Everypony has paid leave of three weeks every year + some other medical related leaves. On top of that, you can take as much leave as you like anytime you want, except the guards and other government related jobs of course. But they pay much more, so it’s only fair.

Anon’s boss is a white mare with black mane called A Spring Stone, she treats him as a normal pony and taught him everything about the job when he applied. It’s nothing serious. The job is simple enough, somewhat close to being an agent or a foreman at the building site. But the main difference is that you actually need to work with the building crew. The measurements and controlling the flow of the work and materials is quite simple for Anon, he did finish logistic school after all, and those simple tasks such as managing the right amount of cement or wood needed for construction are quite easy.

A normal project goes like this, Anon gets the info about everything that the client requires, he checks the main paperwork, and then proceeds to order resources for construction. Then after the Spring Stone reviews it, it goes back to him. After that, it is only the controlling of the ponies to not do anything reckless on the construction site, and help them. There is not much he can help besides carrying things around, but that’s alright for his Boss as long as he does not break anything. Spring Stone actually controls how work is handed. Anon is more of her right ‘hand’.

This also meant that Anon was getting more muscle than ever before. It might be the first time when he actually managed to get a six-pack he always wanted. Not that this will get him any female attention now. The equestrian mares are not looking for a muscular biped, but for a comfy, slim stallion with a lot of fur in between. The only reason he got the chance to experience mares generally was to heat the season. It’s not healthy for them, and Anon feels that by making them act this way at this time is not fair. That’s why after the ‘event’ Anon is very socially awkward in that department.

This has changed the way Anon approaches women. In the past, Anonymous was trying to get more serious relationships, but now considering the options he has, made him utilize the Hit & Run strategy. He only accepted one-night stands, no love, just sex. And oh boy, he actually was surprised by the ponies in that area. The pastel-colored ponies with no intention of ever getting someone hurt actually managed to be very good at sex. At least in the pleasure department. The whole experience is gold solid. And it has resulted in the event that took place a month ago when he went drinking with the boys.

After that... Well, Anon just wanted to relax a bit. The Equestria is a wonderful place to live, actually. Healthy food, clean air, and a green environment. The list goes on. And magic, of course. It is an amazing alternative to the internet, the entire nation's TV is powered not by electricity but by magic. The electricity still is used but it’s mostly based on magic to work properly. The best thing about this world must be no politics and conflicts. Everything is resolved quickly and professionally by professional ponies who actually want to achieve the common goal.

“I need to go make myself breakfast...” Anon said while slogging out of his bed, half asleep.

Coming to the kitchen, he realized that he still had some toast bread to make. So after quickly deciding on what to make, he stopped at toasts with two eggs and ‘bacon’. Not 1% of that bacon is bacon, but well... tastes the same so who cares. Next, he took a quick shower and put on some clothes. After that, he double-checked if he had everything ready for the gala. Everything was prepared for him. The only thing missing is the tuxedo he ordered.

After a British start to the day, he went to check if his suit was ready at the Rarity boutique. Upon arriving, he realized that Rarity left a note on the door saying that she will be closed for two days. Hopefully she is still inside and finished working on the tuxedo Anon ordered. After knocking on the door two times, Anon heard moving inside. Not long after that, the door opened, and the white mare greeted him.

“Hello Rarity, wanted to collect my order.” Anon immediately said.

“Oh, Anonymous, great timing! I do have your order right here, come and let me know if you need any last minute changes!” Rarity said while dragging Anon into the shop.

“A-Alright, you don’t need to pull me, I’m happy that you managed to create it so quickly!” Anon said briefly while stepping in the changing room.

“That’s why I’m the best! But seriously darling~ I had everything ready for the Gala months ago! Your suit only added like two days of work. But it has been costly... Those materials are not cheap, sorry about that...” Rarity said, trying to justify the cost.

“No problem! In my world, suits like this one cost a large amount of money too! I fully understand.” Anon said while coming back from the changing room.

“And you did an amazing job on this one Rarity! It has everything in the right places. You sure you haven’t got any experience with human anatomy? I don’t know if I would feel a difference between ours and yours!” Anon said while praising the mare.

“You~ Enough sweet talk! I need to go get some spa treatment in about 30 minutes! Sorry about that, do you see if I can make any corrections to the suit?” Rarity said while circling Anon and looking up and down how it lies on him.

The suit was made very professionally with great care in the inside areas. The blackness of it with the tie was absolutely stunning on Anon fatigue, not tight, no empty spaces either. The only thing that Anon was lacking was a cylinder hat with the same color. Pair of white gloves and a cane, of course. Not happening, even if it would look nice.

“No, I don’t think I see any...” Anon said while turning and twisting to see if it bends correctly.

“Oh, that's good! If you see anything, please let me know asap. At the Gala it is hard to make changes... I tried...” Rarity said while remembering the last time she needed to change the dress mid-party.

“Alright. I keep that in mind.” Anon said while undressing right in front of a pony. Well, he only got to the shirt when he acknowledged that undressing while someone is watching is uncomfortable. What a surprise.

Rarity did not even realize that something was wrong, so that concluded the visit to the boutique. But before Anon could get out, Rarity asked if he would like to join her and others at the spa. They had an extra appointment because Princess Of Friendship was not coming after all. Sadly for them, she had other matters to attend. Such as actually preparing the Gala.

Anon hesitated that he was not sure that him being the only man would be good, but quickly was brought down by the fact that there would be Spike and Discord. So, while he had nothing else to do for the Gala, he agreed.

The spa complex was mostly made out of stone that looked like a mix of Quartz and Marble, but he is not a stone expert. Pinkie's sister would know, but he does not want to know that badly to actually talk to Pinkie. The conversation never ends with the pink pony.

After coming to the reception, he was greeted by Lotus Blossom and Aloe Vera. Most look like ponies that he actually saw to this day, no way he remembered the name of the correct one. Luckily for him, Rarity was talking to them.

“Rarity! We have been waiting~!” Aloe said

“Do we see that you brought someone new~?” Lotus completed.

“Yes, the lack of some purple in the mix made me bring a little more green into this lovely spa! Please take good care of him, the cost was already paid, so~ enjoy Anon!” Rarity said while disappearing into the facility.

“Oh, I see. The soul- And she’s gone...” Anon said looking at the corner he last saw her before coming eye to eye with pink and blue ponies.

“Do not worry! We will make sure that you are relaxed! Is this your first time at a spa?” Aloe tried to calm down the customer.

“Yes, never been to any.” Anon said.

“If you have any questions, please ask them right away, sugarcube~ Now... Do you want to start with a massage? Or would you like a relaxing healing bath?” Aloe asked while eyeing the biped human.

“A massage would be good, a bath too...” Anon said, not sure which one to pick.

“We can do both, darling~!” Lotus said while she spotted that Anon was having a hard time picking one.

“Alright then, let's start with a massage and then a bath.” Anon said, finally happy with the answer.

“But wait, Rarity said that Discord and Spike are here? Are they not?” Anon quickly remembered the fact he agreed to while deciding to come here in the first place.

“Oh, yes, but they left an hour ago, they needed to prepare for... Em, how did they say it, Aloe?” Lotus tried to remember

“Boys-before-party? Something like that, sis~.” Aloe corrected.

“Those, those... Not inviting me to chill with them... This will be remembered...” Anon said angrily. The boy gang is separating from him. Not good, not good...

After the quick talk and collecting a right robe for him to wear (unfortunately only the bottom half of him was covered), Anon walked alongside Aloe, who directed him into the spare room. The room was... small, pony-sized.

After Anon got comfortable, the spa pony started to massage him.

“Everything good?” Aloe said while massaging Anon's back.

“Yeeeeahhh... N-never...B-better...” Anon mumbled to his surprise that this was a very unexpected and pleasant experience.

The lotion started to slip into anon skin and made it more and more polished and sparkly. And of course it helped his body to relax. While Aloe did everything that she did with any other clients, she observed that Anon was very stiff, both inside and outside. It may be because the work of a ponies body is centered in the back, and in humans it is similar. Anon just never got to treat himself to a massage, thus not making sure that he stayed healthy.

“Anon, what do you do for a living? If you don’t if you don't , of course...” Aloe said, while starting to press more firmly at the stiff points.

“I’m a logistician for a construction company, but I work in the field too. Why?” Anon answered while he felt that Aloe started to press more onto his back.

“I assume that you never realized that your back is doing most of the work there, do you? Please, if you have some free time left in your week, come to the spa for a massage. This will keep you in shape and help you stay healthy.” Aloe explained.

“I mean... If you will be here, I can do that...” Anon said jokingly, not realizing that mare understood that a bit differently.

“Oh. Alright then, I guess I could~, but my sister is as good as me, you know? Aloe slightly blushed.

’Fuck, it's the heat season... I forgot... Anon realized. I need to be more careful with what I’m saying to these mares...’ He stated in his mind.

The rest of the massage did go without any problems, same for the bath. After that, Anon walked without any back pain and relaxed as much as he can get right now. The rest of the day he spent on making sure that everything was ready and clean for the night. He still needs to catch a train to Canterlot.
