Being found... and hired?

   -THUMP-

. The sound startled Aloe and Lotus who were on there way to Zecora's hut. "Vut vas Zat?" Aloe looked at Lotus slightly frightened.

   Lotus took a deep breath and looked around the side of the tree. The sight made Lotus gasp. A large pool of blood surrounded a body of a dark blue unicorn. Aloe hearing the gasp looked as well and did the same. They slowly made their way towards the unconscious unicorn. Lotus and Aloe slowly crept up to the unicorn now seeing dismembered bodies of Manitcores and a basilisk.

  The unicorn groaned and began to move. Which made Aloe and Lotus freeze now afraid of the now awaking unicorn. Aloe and Lotus now are clinging to each other as the unicorns eyes opened and locked on to the two. His eyes are a fiery orange blinked several times and scanned his surroundings. Then he looked back at the two quaking in fear.

  "Um.... Sorry about the mess ladies. I really should be more... Um... Careful when wondering about..." He sighed and looked down at the pool of blood. "... I really shouldn't allow my temper get the better of me. Anyway..." He looks back at the two still frozen in fear. " Oh I haven't introduced myself how rude of me... You two can call me S.P. You are?"

"..."

  S.P. cocked his head to the side slightly and sat up. "I guess your not the talking type? Um... Well that's okay I guess... But... Um... I'm a little lost. Do either of you know the way out of here to civilization?"

   Lotus and Aloe remained silent. They stopped holding each other while he was talking. They both nodded in response to his question.

   "Um... Could you tell me? I haven't been to any form of town or city in a long time... And I would like somewhere to relax too. My back is killing me and I need a shower." Aloe looks at Lotus and Lotus thinks for a moment.

   "Vell I suppose ve could help you vith zat. Although you'll need 45 bits." S.P. frowned at her answer because he had no bits at all.

   "Um... I um... Don't have any money... Is there a way I could work for it or something? I'm good at quite a few things." Lotus looked at Aloe when he said this wondering if they could use him for anything.

  Aloe scrunched up her nose a bit and thought."Vell you good vith your hooves?" Lotus saw where this was going  and remained silent.

   "Um... Well I guess it depends on what I'm doing... If it means building something? No not any good at that, but I'm pretty good at sneaking around and I know a few pressure points to relax muscles but that is about it... Besides my magic." Lotus raised an eyebrow and gave Aloe a nod when she looked her way.

   "Vell... Do you have any experience vith massages?" S.P. thought for a moment not remembering much of what happened before the incident.

   "Um.... I think so... But I believe it was a long time ago. I might be a bit rusty." Aloe and Lotus grinned as the same thought pasted though there heads 'Ve are going to get massaged yes! Vithout paying anypony.'

   "Come vith us ve vill bring you to our home." Lotus and Aloe completely forgetting that they were heading to Zecora's for herbs turned around and started they way back to their house with S.P. "I'm Aloe and zis is Lotus" Aloe gestured to hersel and to Lotus while the three walked along. "You are called S.P. yes?" S.P. Who was now next to them nodded. "Vut is your real name?" Both Aloe and Lotus looked at S.P. with curiosity.

   "It's--" he paused for a moment to look at his cutie-mark. Which is a blue and a orange portal. "It's... Spacial P. Rift. If S.P. Is hard for you two you can call me Rift."

   "Vell alright. Rift it is." Lotus and Aloe said together.

   "Here ve are." Lotus said when she opens the door to the house. It is a middle class house in ponyville at least that is what they told Rift as they entered and flipped on the lights. "Vell go vash your hooves in ze sink over zere zen come back here. So ve can test if you can be a masseuse at our spa." Rift trotted over to the sink and washed his hooves for a good 2 minutes and dried them. Making sure not to place his front hooves on the floor he walked carefully on his hind legs back into the room to see Lotus laying on the couch and Aloe sitting in the chair next to her. He stopped near the couch and looked at Aloe.

   "Lotus agree to be part of ze test. You will give her a massage. You will listen to her every request during ze massage. Understand?" Rift nodded and placed his hooves on her back softly and started to move them in small circles.

   "Lower." Lotus said with a sigh. Rift rubbed her lower back softly but with a bit more pressure. "Mmmmnnnn.... Right Zere." Rift could feel her muscles loosen up. Rift applied a bit more pressure and heard a small pop sound followed by a small moan.

   Aloe began to get a bit jealous of Lotus but sat still and observed Rift carefully. About 5 minutes later Lotus fell asleep. Rift stopped and looked over at Aloe. "She's asleep Aloe."

   "Vell her room is down the hall, first door to ze right." Rift nodded  and picked Lotus up in his magic and put her in bed. He walked back to the living room to see Aloe on the couch. Rift walked over and looked down at her questionably. "Rift, vill you massage my back as vell?" Rift nodded and placed his hooves softly on the center of her back and rubbed in little circles. "Mmnnnn... Zank you Rift. Lower please." Rift slid his hooves down he lr back and rubbed with a bit more pressure until he heard a small pop and felt all of Aloe's muscles relax. "Rift? Can I ask you a question?"

   "Yes." Rift rubbed her upper and lower back with a bit more pressure.

   "Vut do you think of Lotus and myself, and be honest." Rift still rubbing her back and just unknotted a muscle in her shoulder.

  "What do you mean? What I think of you or what I see?"

  "Are ve in any way... Or rather do you find us attractive?" Rift froze and looked down at her for a few moments. He placed his hooves on the ground and looked down at the floor. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

  "I--" He looked back at Aloe with a straight face. "I do... I find you both very beautiful." Rift looked down at the floor again.

  Aloe smiled softly at Rift's answer and kissed his forehead. "You have a job at the spa now if you vant it. Good night Rift." Aloe got up and went to her room and fell asleep.

   Rift remained silent and sat there for a few minutes. He climbed up onto the couch and fell asleep as well only to be plagued by the same terrible nightmare.

  'The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.'

  'The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.'

  'Hello. May I help you.'
