Chapter 4: A Day at the Spa
Twilight was reading a letter from Princess Luna. Apparently they had a theory that was why they were doing but weren't sure. The necklaces even replenished their energy quickly if it was stolen.
Twilight sighed.
"You know what you need a day at the spa." Said Spike, "I mean all this sailor Guardians stuff is stressing you out."
"Isn't today Rarity and Fluttershy's spa day?" asked Twilight.
"Maybe…" said Spike.
Twilight rolled her eyes.
In the Dark Kingdom (which is strange if one thinks about, it is run by a queen). Jadeite explained a new idea he had.
"So you were will personally oversee the energy draining operation?" asked Queen Beryl.
"That is correct." Said Jadeite, "In fact I have began this operation. IF you excuse me I have to go to work so to speak."
Queen Beryl smiled.
"One more thing, I believe they have become aware to our energy gathering." Said Jadeite.
"I would have expected Princess Luna to figure that a long time ago." Said Queen Beryl.
"Very well." Said Jadeite who then teleported away.
Rarity and Fluttershy were being admitted into the spa.
"You may come in ladies." Said a red unicorn colt, with a blonde mane and tail and a green stone for a cutie mark and was wearing glasses.
He lead them to the spa twins.
"Who was that?" asked Rarity.
"Oh that was our new assistant." Said Aloe, "We just hired him yesterday."
"He's so much help." Said Lotus, "We're able to do so much more with him around."
"So what's his name?" asked Rarity.
"Jade Style." Said Lotus.
"And there is just something about him." Said Aloe.
"I know." Said Rarity.
"Um…" said Fluttershy.
"Oh I know you're not into boy talk. "said Rarity.
"It'd not that." Said Fluttershy.
"What is it?" asked.
When they were in the sauna, Fluttershy told her, "He's giving me a bad feeling." Explained Fluttershy.
"What sort of bad feeling?" asked Rarity.
"I can't explain it." Whispered Fluttershy, "But I don't' trust him."
Meanwhile Jade Style was missing the mud for the mask and the baths. He put a spell on it, a spell that allowed energy to be drained.
For he was really Jadeite.
IT would be a slow process that would exhausted the victim when they were done. A few ponies had already had it done, so he knew it worked.
Though out the day, Rarity and Fluttershy got their pampering done, thanks to the fact they wore their necklaces (Twilight told them they should have on at all times). They didn't even notice it as it was so slow the necklaces replenished it at the same rate.
When they left, "Jade Style" watched them leave. He was confused, he drained energy from them, he had in an area where he kept for storage for the time being.
"What's wrong?" asked Lotus.
"It's nothing." Said "Jade Style".
"Oh I get you have a thing for Rarity." Said Lotus.
"What? No." said "Jade Style".
"Then it was Fluttershy." Said Lotus.
"Please stop doing this." Muttered "Jade Style", "When will they be here again?"
"Fluttershy only comes here once a week." Said Lotus, "But Ms. Rarity…"
"What?" asked "Jade Style."
Lotus looked at the clock, "I guess she isn't feeling dirty today." He said.
"Jade Style" blinked then went back to work, he really didn't need to know.
The next day in the waiting room, Rarity entered, she felt she needed a day to herself, that was when she saw Bonbon.
"Oh hello Bonbon." Muttered Rarity glaring at the tan earth pony, "I never thought you would ever come here."
Rarity and Bonbon had a feud ever since Bonbon pretended that she didn't' know Rarity was when Fluttershy was super model. Mostly it was them avoiding each other, but when they could it never ended well.
"Lyra gave me a gift certificate for my birthday." Said Bonbon.
"That's nice of her… I guess this will be the last time you come here." Said Rarity.
Bonbon glared at the white unicorn, before being let in by "Jade Style".
When Rarity was let in, "Jade Style" kept asking her things like "Are you exhausted" or "How do you get to be so healthy."
Rarity just brushed them off politely not knowing what he meant.
After her second in a row of pampering she came across Bonbon, who barely got out of the spa, breathing heavily.
"What's wrong?" asked Rarity.
"Like you would care, you hate me." Said Bonbon.
"Hate is too strong of a word." Said Rarity, "I would say dislike."
"Fine you dislike me." Said Bonbon, "Why should you care."
"Because we live in the same town." Said Rarity, "I'm taking you the Nurse Redheart."
Rarity managed to take Bonbon to the nurse. While Bonbon was being examined. She looked at Rarity and said.
"Sorry for whatever I did to start this stupid feud." Sighed Bonbon.
Rarity somewhat glared at her. "Seriously?" she asked.
Bonbon laughed nervously, "Either way, I owe you something." Said Bonbon.
That was when Lyra… Bonbon's best friend and roommate ran into the room.
"Are you okay Bonbon?" asked Lyra.
"Don't worry, she is." Said Nurse Redheart, "Just severe exhausted, that the 10th pony in the last since yesterday."
"Is that all?" asked Bonbon.
"Tell me have you been the spa lately?" asked Nurse Redheart.
"How did you know?" asked Bonbon.
Nurse Redheart, "Looks like I'm going to have to let the authorities know." Sighed Nurse Redheart.
"What do you mean?" asked Rarity.
Hours later two officials from the government were shutting down the spa.
"You can't do this!" cried Lotus.
"Sorry, until we confirmed whether or not the products you are using is dangerous we have to shit you down." Said one of the two officials.
"Dangerous how can you be saying these things?" asked Lotus.
"Shut up you foreigner let me see your papers!" yelled the second of the two officials.
That was when the first shut his partner's mouth.
"Sorry he's new." Said the first of the two, "If we find out that it's considered safe then you can reopen your spa. If not it might be shut down permanently."
This is when Applejack and Twilight came across this. They also saw Rarity who was next to an utterly deviated Aloe comforting her.
"Don't worry, I'm going to do anything in my power to help you." Said Rarity.
"Oh thank you, Ms. Rarity." Cried Aloe, "You really are our best costumer."
"What's going on?" asked Twilight.
"Oh it's terrible! The spa is being shut down." Said Rarity.
"There's been a strange rash of ponies become exhausted! And they're blaming us!" cried Aloe.
The two codicils left. Lotus joined in comforting her sister. That was when "Jade Style" approached his bosses.
"I'm sorry to say, but I think it's best if I quit." Said "Jade Style".
Rarity narrowed her eyes when he said that.
"Frankly I don't know if the spa will be reopened." Said "Jade Style", "It's best I leave."
This only made Aloe cry some more.
"Jade Style" began to leave. Rarity remembered what Fluttershy said about having a bad feeling about him.
"Say did the exhaustion problem happen after he started working for you?" asked Rarity.
"How did you know?" asked Lotus.
Rarity turned to Twilight and Applejack.
"I know what's going on. Follow that colt." Said Rarity.
Applejack looked confused but Twilight knew what was going on. Both of them had put two and two together. "Jade Style" was Jadeite.
Jadeite found an alley to remove his glasses.
"Jadeite." Came a voice.
He tuned around and saw Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter all standing there.
"So I guess you figured it out." He taunted, "Though it's sad to see half you're friends aren't with you."
"How could you do that to them!" yelled Sailor Mercury, "You ruined their business!"
"It's only temper. After all I'm gone those bureaucrats won't find anything." Taunted Jadeite.
Sailor Mercury glared Harshly at him.
Jadeite laughed, "I don't have time to deal with this, so it looks like I'm going to live it a friend of mine." Said Jadeite.
Jadeite disappeared but at the same time so did a Youma.
"Looks like it time to get rid of the Guardians!" said the monster.
It began to shot mud at them, imported mud to precise.
"You dare waste imported mud?" asked Sailor Mercury, "Sabo Spray!"
That was when the fog rolled in, both Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter stared at her.
"Oh… that's right… defensive attacks…" sighed Sailor Mercury.
"Your heart was in the right place." Said Sailor Jupiter.
Sailor Jupiter turned to where they saw the monster, Sailor Jupiter then shouted "Flower Hurricane!"
The attack hit the monster sending it into a nearby wall.
"There is no way you can stop me!" yelled the monster who seemed to be trembling.
"I think he went there easy on us." Said Sailor Jupiter.
"You mean sent a weaker one?" asked Sailor Mercury.
Sailor Jupiter nodded.
"Either way." Sighed Sailor Moon, "Moon Tiara Action!"
The tiara hit the monster turning it to dust.
Jadeite meanwhile scowled. However he had gathered enough from the day before so it didn't matter.
After the three de-transformed. Twilight headed to the library right away, why? To prevent the closing of the spa. How? Just sending a letter to Princess Celestia telling her what happened.
The next day the Spa reopened, with their bet costumer the first to go in.
"So I can see whatever happened cleared up." Said Rarity.
"Yes." Said Lotus as she began to file her horn, "According the Princess Celestia the evil that the Sailor Guardians have been fighting was behind it. Isn't it wonderful! They stopped the problem! Next time I see one of them I'm going to give them a gift certificate for a free day."
"Really?" asked Rarity.
She smiled, she knew that she would have to tell Fluttershy about it, after all she was the first one that saw though Jadeite's disguise.
But there was something that concerned her. Something she felt that might happen sooner or later… what if Jadeite tired to do the same thing to her shop. Would she once again fall for his tricks or not. Well then again right now wasn't the time to worry about these things, after all it was time for getting pampered, but it was still in her mind… even if she wasn't focusing on it.
Next Time: Spike has a slight fever, when Twilight uses an herbal remedy she has used many time before somehow makes things worse, she's doesn't know what to do. Or does it have to with Jadeite and his next plan? Find out next time!
