Braving The Restraints
Dec. 27th, 2016 11:55 pmIt's Rarity's usual spa day today and since I was feeling a little long-hoofed and grimy, I packed my saddle bags, tossed a scarf on and trotted off to the spa. It has been ages since the last time I went, and it showed. I had been avoiding going there. But if Rarity and Fluttershy were there with me, I knew I'd manage better.
I arrived about the same time as Rarity and we found Fluttershy waiting for us in the lobby. Excellent! I gave Fluttershy the book I'd bought for her in Canterlot and we decided on what spa treatments we wanted. I had Pinkie's book too, but she wasn't at the spa at that moment. Together we decided to brave the sauna before getting shampoos, massages and hooficures. No mud baths or hot tubs this time. Maybe next week, at least for Rarity. She really likes what getting plastered in mud does for her complexion.
We only lasted about ten minutes in the sauna before busting out in a panic. We calmed down while rinsing off and I was only a bit antsy while getting my hooficure. Aloe spent a long time filing down the chips I'd picked up on my Leaf runs, both the practice ones and the real deal. I had a small rock wedged into my left hind hoof and I didn't even know it. She asked, teasingly, if I wanted to keep it. Meanwhile, Rarity and Fluttershy were already getting massaged. After the massage I was so relaxed I was wobbly on my hooves while getting the full body shampoo, conditioner, blow dry and wing wax. We stepped out of the spa into the crisp winter air shiny, clean and fluffed. Clean fur keeps out the cold, especially fluffy clean fur. This called for hot chocolate at Sugar Cube Corner!
We found a table, ordered hot chocolate from Ms Cake, and a wild Pinkie appeared! We captured her with a mug of hot chocolate, and as she took her place at the table I pulled out the book I'd bought for her. Pinkie flipped through the pages and we looked in over her shoulder, giggling over the ridiculous raw carrot uses, none of which actually involved eating them.
