Finally A Day Off

Three (3) colts trotted into their room, through the corroded door. They each sighed with relief, they thought the room inside would match the rotted door behind them. Fortunately that was not the case. The luxurious suite walls were lined with beautifully painted pieces of art. The floor leading to the kitchen and living room was layered with beautiful white birch wood. The walls were covered in floral wallpaper, while the ceiling followed the same texture as the floor. The kitchen floor had lovely marble tiles symmetrically laid out. The living room had a soft velvet carpet that was as red as blood. A large couch sat directly across from a large flat screen television in the living room.

"That's an odd shade of red." Trebass pointed out.

A door on the other side of the living area led into the bedroom. Inside were two (2) queen sized beds.

Trebass immediately stepped back into the living area, "I'll sleep on the couch."

"Are you sure? There are two mattresses on this bed, we could just take one off." Alex asked.

Trebass nodded, and began to unpack his luggage near the couch.

"Well, I'm just grateful this room is at least decent." Shock said, as he slipped his suitcase underneath the bed on the right.

After settling in and unpacking, Trebass and Alex stepped outside into the hallway. Pip jumped out from behind the door, and onto Trebass' back.

"Haha, hey little guy. Where's Royal?" Trebass said, as he rustled the foal's mane.

Pip pointed to the doorway leading to Royal's room. Standing in the doorway, was an attractive blonde mare wearing a bikini top and bottom. Trebass and Alex's jaws hung open, their eyes widened. Pip rolled his eyes, then poked his head into room 3A.

Shock Bolt brushed past the little foal, the blue pegasus was wearing a golfing cap and carrying a bag of golf clubs on his back.

"So you're actually going golfing? That's great!" Royal cheered. She turned to Trebass and Alex, "It's great isn't it guys?"

The two colts mumbled softly, "Uh.. Y-yeah..."

Royal looked slightly confused, "I-Is something wrong? You guys are staring..."

"N-No! Uh, it's nothing really. So are we heading to the pool now?" Trebass quickly changed topic.

"Well, I don't think Shock is dressed well for the pool." Royal pointed out.

The blue pegasus stepped forward, "It's true I won't be in the pool with you guys. But the golf course is just on the other side of the pool fence."

"Can we just get to the pool already?" Alex groaned.

Royal nodded, then they all trotted into the elevator and began their descent. After a short time, they all stepped into the main lobby. Everypony walked outside into the sun again. A wave of heat hit Trebass like a warm gust of wind. They trotted onto the smooth stone path. Unfortunately, the stone was coloured black and had absorbed the heat from the sun.

"YEEEOWCH!" Trebass shouted in pain.

As everypony began to chuckle, the white unicorn joined them, trying to look less foolish than he already did. Finally, they reached a fork in the pathway. One path led to a beautiful green golf course that stretched as far as the eye could see. The other led to a quiet pool with hardly anypony swimming in it.

"Well then, this is where we part for now. I'll so you all later for dinner. You can ask the reception desk where the hotel restaurant is." Shock said, as he trotted off onto the green grass.

The rest of them waved good-bye to their friend, as they opened the gate to the pool. Immediately, Pip hopped in the pool, making a large splash that completely soaked Trebass. Trebass' smile was changed into an unamused look as the water made contact with his face. Alex and Royal stepped back, chuckling again. Trebass began to shake, and his nostrils flared. Luckily there were very few ponies to notice his rage.

"Here we go." Alex said, as he placed each of their towels on the pool deck chairs.

"Here we go? What do you mean?" Royal asked, as she placed a pair of urban sunglasses on her face and tied her mane back into a ponytail.

Alexander sat down and threw off his hoof sandals, "Well, ever since I've known him, Trebass has had sort of a.... Temper when it comes to getting wet unexpectedly."

Royal asked, "How bad of a tempe--"

*SPLASH*

A wave of water smashed onto the stony pool deck, and onto Royal and Alex.

"Does that answer your question?" Alex replied as he dried his black mane.

Royal spat up a little bit of water, "Very funny."

Trebass and Pip wrestled playfully in the pool. Trebass made sure Pip didn't get hurt, too much. The sun shone down on Royal and Alex as they bathed in the heat of the day. Pip was giggling in the hot tub as the current pushed him in circles. Trebass began to swim lap after to lap, hoping to catch Royal's attention. Sadly, she had fallen asleep underneath the rays of light that the sun that was shining down on her.

Eventually, after a few hours, the shadow of a nearby palm tree had begun to loom over the four (4) ponies. The shade signaled the day was coming to an end. One by one the hoof-full of ponies drifted away from the pool, and soon it was just Royal, Alexander, Pip, and Trebass.

Royal sat up, confused, and took the sunglasses off her face, "Huh? Who turned off the sun?"

Trebass climbed out of the pool, as a towel flew towards his face. He caught the pool towel with a levitation spell from his horn and dried his entire body. Pip wrapped himself in a single towel, as the large towel covered his tiny figure.

Alex began to pack up his belongings, "Well, we should probably get set up for dinner. I'll ask the front desk where we're going to meet Shock."

They all agreed, and headed to their rooms. Royal and Pip disappeared into their room, while Trebass entered his.

He sighed, as he threw himself onto the couch.
