Finally A Day Off

Everypony stepped into the lobby of the Coucher Jument. They each let out a loud sigh, as the air conditioning unit blew cool air against their face.

"Ah! Now that's refreshing init?" Royal twirled around the lobby, soaking in the cool air.

Trebass followed her into the lobby, he was amazed by the shiny white marble flooring and ceiling, "Huh? Oh sorry, what's refreshing?"

"Why, the cool air of course!" Royal poked Trebass' nose playfully.

Shock trotted by the two, and spoke to the receptionist pony. The discussed the room bookings, and the services and activities the hotel supplied. One of the activities interested Shock. The receptionist handed Shock a pamphlet for a golfing tournament that was taking place the next day. Shock considered himself a master of the sport of golf, as he played a lot before he became a knight.

"I think you should enter! You'd be great!" A tan mare jumped from behind the blue pegasus.

Shock jumped, "Ah! Well, I suppose... I'll consider it. Anyways, Flim will have our bags delivered to our rooms. So I think we should get settled in, we're on floor nineteen (19)."

"Nineteen (19)?! Just how many floors does this place have?" Royal shouted loudly.

Again, the group of ponies were attracting more attention to themselves than they would liked to have. Trebass noticed the ponies around them staring at the eccentric mare. He rushed over to Shock quickly, making sure Pip was following him. The white unicorn asked Shock which rooms they would be staying in.

Alex pulled out another piece of paper that the receptionist had given him, "Let's see here... Trebass, Alex, and I will be staying in room 3A on nineteenth (19th) floor?!" Shock began to grind his teeth, but attempted to hide his frustration.

Royal snatched the room listings from the blue pegasus, "Then I guess that means Pip and I will be in the next room! That's..... 3B on the nineteenth (19th) floor."

Trebass sighed, "Well, at least know she can read..."

Alex sighed with him, "But does she have to read at such a loud tone?"

"Hey! I can hear you, you know!" Royal gave them an annoyed look.

Trebass and Alex both attempted to speak, but then paused.

"Nah, too easy." Trebass let out a playful laugh.

Royal Flush raised her eyebrow at them, "Huh? I don't get it."

Each of them, except Royal, began to chuckle as they all headed for the elevator.

"I swear, those ponies can be really irritating sometimes." She said, as she galloped into the elevator with her friends.

They reached the nineteenth (19th) floor. As they exited the marble floored elevator, they stepped onto a warm red velvet rug, that ran for about twenty-five (25) meters down the hallway. For every five (5) or so meters, there were two (2) doorways, one on each side of the hallway.

"3A and 3B.... 3B.... 3B..." Trebass checked each room, then looked at the room listing that was hovering in front of him.

Trebass stopped at about halfway through the hallway and turned to his right, "Aha! Here it is. 3B! And 3A is should be right here--"

The white unicorn turned around, then stopped, and a confused look crept onto his face. The rest of his companions realized what had made him stop. It was the door behind them, the door directly across from 3B. The door to room 3B had a beautiful golden plate that had the number "3" and the letter "B" engraved on it. But when the unicorn turned around to face 3A, there was something extremely different about the golden plate on the door. In fact, at first glance, Trebass couldn't tell if the plate was gold. At first he thought it was an old run down wooden plank. But the plate wasn't the only thing that bothered the five (5) ponies. The door itself was quite ugly, as it was made of rotting, degraded, and corroded wood; compared to the other doors that were smooth and beautifully sanded.

"I thought this was supposed to be a five (5) star hotel! What's with his rotted to hell door?" Trebass asked angrily.

Alex pushed the rotting door in, "I'm sure it'll look better on the inside." Alex, Trebass and Shock entered the room 3A

Royal took Pip into the room labeled 3B, "Alright, we'll just get settled in. How about we meet by the pool after our bags arrive at our rooms?"

Trebass replied, "Sounds good." as he followed his friends through the corroded door.
