Getting Unzapped

twilightponyStarlight Glimmer and I got pretty well zapped by the zap apple trees yesterday. We are both stiff and sore and our manes are still frazzled. We smell a bit like burned fur. Spike fared better than we did, or at least he's better at hiding sore muscles. I proposed a trip to the spa for the three of us. The vote was unanimous, after breakfast we went to the spa.
We have several zap apples left, so I packed six in my saddle bags to give away. On the way we stopped by the carousel boutique to see if Rarity was up to a trip to the spa. She was too busy to go, but she was delighted with the zap apple I gave her. Before we continued on our way, she had me wait a minute while she trotted off to somewhere in the living area of her home and boutique. She came back with a small gift wrapped box and she told me not to shake it or open it until I got home. A surprise gift! I tucked it into my saddle bag and we cantered off for the spa.
At the spa I gave Lotus and Aloe one zap apple each. Many ponies are familiar with zap apple jam, but few get to taste the fresh zap apples themselves. So they were delighted.
I ordered a massage, sauna, coat restorer bath and hot tub soak for my sore muscles and my singed mane and tail. Starlight Glimmer and Spike joined me for the first two, but Spike decided to roast a while longer in the sauna and Starlight Glimmer got a Crystal Empire oil bath and a hooficure while I was going from shampoo to fragrant soaking. I'd brought the cerulean foulard Rarity had given me last year and after Lotus had finished drying and styling me, I put it on. It matches my saddle bags. All three of us felt and looked like a million bits when we stepped out of the spa. To celebrate, we had sorbets at Sugar Cube Corner. I gave the Cakes two zap apples.
On the way home, I spied Rainbow Dash napping on a cloud (it was just about the only cloud over Ponyville, so kind of hard to miss). I flew up, woke her, gave her the last zap apple and flew off. Successful fly-by zap apple-ing: check!
Thus, we have liquidated more than half our zap apple supply. They are so good and they go so fast. But the path to bliss isn't paved exclusively with zap apples. I have chocolate cinnamon spice tea, my big Double Bridle night and day refractor telescope and tonight, a whole sky full of shooting stars to watch!
