.

Hi, Pinkie!” Fluttershy exclaims, in her characteristically quiet voice.

“Hiya, Flutters!” I respond, as I see my friend on the street of Ponyville.

While I do focus on my friend by my side: Fluttershy; I still greet every friend I see on my way, waving a hoof at them and pass some pleasantries as I go. (Without ever permitting Fluttershy to think I am not focusing on her.)

Nice to see you, Pinkie!” she adds, as she is following me along the street.

“Nice to see you, too; Flutters..” I respond.

I take it, you’ve heard of the new hotel, opening in town?” she inquires.

“The Seven Stars?” I inquire; “yes, I’ve heard of it..” I respond; “as good a time, to take a peek; to see what it looks like, inside!” I conclude.

Yes, I guess it is...” she responds, as she is following me down the street.

I continue to pronk along the street; just slow enough for Fluttershy to keep up, without straining my shy friend.

Of course, the weather is the characteristic sunshine; on the account of the local weather team, managing the weather. (This is after all the land of Sun-shine and Rainbows.)

“There it is!” I exclaim, as I finally spot the location. (The hotel: Seven Stars)

“Oh, yeah..” she responds; “Curious architecture, for Ponyville!” she then comments, snickering.

“Yes, I guess it is...” I respond.

“Maybe the Glass and Steel Lobby would have been right in Manehattan?” she suggests.

“Yes, it would!” I respond; “just a bit too much of a metropolitan thing, for a town like Ponyville!” I then conclude.

The lobby is a bit of a sore hoof, in Ponyville; with the glass and steel image. On the right, there is a small restaurant; serving Ponyvillian cuisine, fitting the common Pony in town. Just as there is a Cafe on the other side of the lobby. Behind the lobby, there is a five floor building, standing above most everything in town. Even if the top floor is a second lobby, for the Pegasi.

As I am approaching the lobby, the twin glass sliding doors eagerly slide up before me; only to close behind Fluttershy, as she had cleared the threshold.

“These doors would keep the room cool, in the summer; just as it would keep it hot, during the winter!” Fluttershy suggests, a moment after we had entered the lobby of the building.

“That is one reason, for why we had these doors installed!” the mare behind the desk responds.

“I could very well imagine..” I respond; “but as new and innovative as it may be; the building sticks out, like a sore hoof!” I suggest.

“Here, in Ponyville; yes, I guess: that would be the case!” she responds.

“Is that a lobby, on the top floor?” Fluttershy inquires.

“Yes, indeed; it is..” she responds; “I imagine, some Pegasi will be loving this feature!” she continues.

“I could very well imagine!” Fluttershy agrees.

“Just high enough, to make a comfortable stop..” I suggest; “without breaking too much, from the standard buildings in town. (Even if we don’t really have standard buildings, in Ponyville)” I suggest.

“It’s the tallest building, in the town, proper!” she concedes.

“Only Twilight’s Castle is taller?” I inquire; “But, that is not in the town proper!” I conclude.

“Exactly!” she agrees.

I enjoy the appearance of the white mare before me, picturing my friend: Rarity approving of her appearance, as well. Even as an Earth Pony, she does have a well-mannered coiffure. Her mane is a bright Electric blue, almost like Vinyl Scratch (Dj. Pon3), only her mane is arranged in three long braids on each side and bangs curling in under themselves on her forehead. (Apparently; she had had her hooves cared for, lacquered in a Metallic Bloody red and a high gloss finish applied.)

Bright, Emerald green eyes?” Fluttershy ponders, not quite seeing the similarity; still reflecting on the specific hue of green.

“Since you have a restaurant; I think: I should have a light salad!” I suggest.

“Step right in; we do serve salad; based on the locally grown crops, and season!” she confirms.

“I think I will make you company, Pinkie; this does sound appetizing, as she is presenting the options!” Fluttershy suggests.

“Yes, I’d have to agree..” I respond; “and maybe Rarity will enjoy sampling the cuisine here, too!” I suggest.

“Yes, she just may...” Fluttershy opines.

“I am looking forwards, to seeing Rarity!” the mare ponders.

Just as the doors slid up before us, as we entered the lobby; they once more slide up before us, as we are approaching the restaurant. (Well; what had I been expecting, considering how they had been so eager the first time.)

A mare is approaching us, as we enter the restaurant.

“Greetings!” she exclaims, stopping before us just as we had entered the restaurant.

“Greetings..” I respond; “a table for two!” I suggest.

“Right this way, please!” she responds, as she is leading us to a table for two.

“Thank you, Miss!” I respond, as I follow her towards the table with Fluttershy in tow.

“Would this table be to your liking?” she inquires, just as she had stopped before a table, indicating for us to have a seat.

“Yes, thank you!” I respond.

“The menu!” she suggests, as she is presenting us with a pair of menus.

“Yes, please!” I respond, accepting the menus.

“What would you have to drink?” she inquires.

“A bottle of water, and two glasses!” Fluttershy suggests.

“A bottle of water, and two glasses!” she responds, as she is leaving us for a moment.

While she is fetching the water, I am browsing the menu. (Fluttershy is browsing her own menu, while I’m going over the options)

“Your water..” she responds, as she is placing the bottle on the table.

“Thank you..” I respond; “a Daffodil and Daisies salad!” I pronounce.

“I will take that, too!” Fluttershy confirms.

“Two Daffodil and Daisies salads!” she confirms, as she is returning to the kitchen.>
