Spa Day

Stepping unhurriedly down the winding set of stairs in her library Twilight glanced over at the open floor, a space which not two hours ago was where her recent sexual adventures had began. Inhaling deeply she could smell a wide variety of fragrances; as usual she could smell the dusty pages of the elderly books, the saccharine scent of fresh lavender that Spike had ‘acquired’ this morning for Rarity’s mysteriously shrinking  herb garden. However, there was something else, something new, something foreign- the intelligent unicorn spent a few seconds idly mulling over what the offending aroma may be, before recalling today’s earlier ‘activities’. She could smell the faint musky aroma of sweat and other... bodily fluids in the air.

As she reached the bottom of the stairs her horn took on a soft violet hue as she used a miniscule amount of her magic to lift a small black book out of her pastel coloured satchel. The small leather bound book was a rich black and bore a slim golden thread down the length of its spine. The book now levitated unwaveringly in front of Twilight’s face as she flicked through the pages with perpetual ease, all the way to the index.

Upon reaching the designated page the purple mare lifted a hoof and traced it down the length of the page. She began to scroll through the letters on the page, counting each and every one in her mind as she looked for a letter that interested her.

“A, B, C, D, E...” She paused for a moment “F... Fluttershy” She said aloud; moving across the partially torn page she glanced down a small list of names saying each one aloud with excellent eloquence.

“Faulty, Flaunty.... aha, Fluttershy- page seventy six” Without a moments though the lavender mare instinctively traced through all the pages of the book that proceeded page seventy six. As the page numbers declined Twilight’s heartbeat increased exponentially- she could already feel the demure mare’s soft plumage against her coat as her skilled hooves pleasured the cream Pegasus’ innocent body- she couldn’t wait.

Upon turning to the required page there was a short extract detailing the personality and physical description of the cottage dwelling Pegasus followed by which were two headings, one containing likes and another containing dislikes. On the opposite page was a crudely drawn table, made up of seven columns and separated at matching points by horizontal lines; at the top of each column stood a letter which, from what Twilight was able to deduce, corresponded to a day of the week.

She scanned down what she assumed to be her friends timetable as she looked for an opportunity to ‘take advantage’ of the busy mares hectic schedule; she scanned from Monday to Wednesday without finding even so much as a slightly exploitable situation for her to take advantage of... that was the case at least, before she got to Thursday- Fluttershy’s spa day.

A devious grin spread across the lavender unicorns face as she snapped the book shut and slid it quickly into her satchel and clipping the clasp shut. After doing this Twilight proceeded to look towards her door and head towards it. She had to go see Ditzy Doo about a letter.

One day later: Wednesday

80808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080808080

Fluttershy strolled through Ponyville town centre taking in the warmth of the midday sun as the pleasant melodies of birdsongs filled the air above carried by the dull undertone of the quiet roar of everyday life. She broke into a brief trot as she saw the spa was only a short distance away and she was more than eager to indulge in her weekly pampering and chat with her good friend rarity that she had not seen for some time now.

Upon reaching the door she returned to her previous pace and gave the azure door a gentle nudge which caused it to open just enough for a slim mare such as herself to squeeze through. The plumage of the demure mare brushed against both the wall and door of the entrance to the establishment as the hard wood door made contact with the ringer hung above the door alerting Aloe and Lotus to their new customer.

Fluttershy smiled cheerfully as the two ponies appeared, as if by magic, behind the counter.

“Hello Aloe, Lotus... is my friends here?” Questioned Fluttershy softly, tilting her head slightly as if she already knew the answer... however, today was different.

“Oh yes” Began Aloe

“She’s in the Jacuzzi” finished lotus. The usually timid mare’s eyes opened wide at this shocking revelation- Rarity never arrived at the spa before her.

“Really!” She exclaimed before regaining her composure after witnessing a worrying exchange of looks take place between the two twins. “That is, erm... I’ll show myself through” Said Fluttershy in a hurry as she hung her head low to avoid the stares of the spa workers. After shuffling past the front desk and into the corridor that lead to the various other rooms of the spa the Pegasus murmured something detrimental to herself... something about her being a loudmouth.

She let out a frustrated sigh and placed a hoof on the door that lead to the hot tub, putting on a faux smile before walking into the room she pushed roughly onto the door in a weak attempt to vent some of the frustration from her body.

“Hi Fluttershy” Called a voice from the direction of the hot tub, but, it was not Rarity’s voice... this voice was calmer, more down to earth than that of the fabulous fashionista’s upper class Canterlotian accent.

“Twilight?” Questioned Fluttershy as she looked upon the wet purple mare that sat in the vast wooden basin.

“Come join me, the water’s great” Confused about the mysterious disappearance of one friend and the unexplained appearance of another the cream mare obeyed the suggestion from her friend without hesitation as she attempted to rationalise the situation in her head.

As she stepped up the wooden steps many thoughts raced through the Pegasus’ mind, her body in auto pilot. Twilight watched as the delicious mare climbed the steps and looked into the steaming pool below.

“Don’t worry; the water is ‘wonderful’” Added the purple mare as she extended a hoof towards her friend, offering her a helping hand into the pleasurable waters below. Snapping back into reality the polite mare took her friends hoof, being too polite to reject it, and slid into the wondrous water. She let out a deep sigh as the hot sensation overrode any unsettling feelings that she may have felt about the situation- replaced by a sense of bliss as her eyes closed and she laid against her friend, placing her head on her shoulders.

Twilight couldn’t help herself, she couldn’t simply allow this gorgeous mare to rest her form next to her and not do anything with her- she simply couldn’t take it. Slipping a hoof surreptitiously around her friend’s shoulders and glancing down between her haunches Twilight thought one thing.

“This is going to be fun”
