"Minutes passed as Dusk with His brother along with Candace and Spike looked among the stalls. Dusk didn't buy anything since he already everything he needed, but his older brother and his fiancée bought several things. Spike bought a few things but it was mostly food. Hey look. Cadence said. Let's listen to some music while we're here. In Ponyville market musicians from all across Equestria came to show off their musical talent. After finding some seats Dusk and the others watched several performers one them was a young woman from Cantorlot playing a cello. Yeah You go Octi a young woman with blue hair and sunglasses. After the performance Cadence Asked her future brother in law and his assistant if they would like to continue shopping around the market. Sure. Dusk said simply. I don't mind. said Spike with that the 4 of them continued to browse around the wares and stalls but,they did do a little sight seeing as they looked at a statue of one of founders of Equestria. It was at time when where chaos reigned where the three tribes of people struggled to make peace. Where monsters and wild beasts nearly roamed every section of the continent. But a young winged female wizard along with her sister managed to bring the three tribes together and brought order and harmony though out Equestria. Hello Dusk darling. The voice Rarity said. Dusk turned to see his fashion friend was walking towards him. Hi Rarity he said to her. How are you this fine day? She asked him. Well right now I'm just browsing through the market with my brother and his fiancée. Wait your brother the one from Canterlot is here? Rarity Asked. How are you? Oh hi Spike. She replied but notice two other people with him. So little shiny. His brother teased Is this one of the 5 girls you met when you got here? Yes. Dusk annoyingly answered. So your Shining Armor. She asked him. Yep that's me Shining Armor Captain of the royal Guards. Well my names Rarity. She introduced herself. Your younger brother told me a lot about you. Noticing the young woman who was with them Rarity asked her. And who might you be? This fine lady is the Ruler of Crystal Empire and my future bride. And Dusk former Spike! Dusk shouted. My name is Cadence Princess Cadence. Princess?! Rarity said shockingly. Well it's an honor to meet you. She said with a bow. And I see you guys have been through Ponyville market. Looking at their bags. Yeah Little shiny took us here since there's nothing much to do in this town. Oh that's none sense. Rarity said them. We have plenty to do here we have a theater a spa and many other things. And speaking of which I was on my way to the spa before I met all you. So would like to come with me? After all I'm sure you would like to relax after coming here from long trip and after doing all this shopping. Well I guess I could relax Shining said. What about you? He said to Candace. Sure I'm up for it. Im willing to give it a try. Said Spike. What about you? Rarity asked Dusk. Now i know I asked come to relax before butt really need to learn to loosen up darling. Well.. Dusk I guess I can five it a She said if you all fellow me please this way. While walking Shining Armor couldn't believe how naïve his younger brother was,sure he smart on scientific and magical terms, but he doesn't realize these girls or at least Rarity has crush on him. He thought. We're here. Rarity said as she opened the door. Inside the first room they went in was the check in service One Of staff members recognized Rarity and said to her. Oh greetings miss Rarity. How are you this fine day? And I must say that is one fine hat you have your head. Thank you and it has been anther busy day at the boutique so I'm really in need of some relaxation,but let me first introduce to the four people who I have with me. Pulling Dusk's hand she said. Now this is Dusk Shine or, you should know him Prince Dusk Shine. With this all the staff members stopped what they were doing and looked with shocked faces. It's him. One of them said. Yeah it's definitely him. Said Slayer of Nightmare Moon Dusk blush a little over this though he was grateful for saving Equstra and become more sociable when moving to Ponyville but,he still didn't like being the great center of attention. Oh Mr prince Dusk Shine. Said the staff member in front of him. It great honor to have you here with us and if there's anything you need just ask our Service stuff and they well be happy to help you. With that Dusk nodded. And over here Rarity introduce. His brother and the Captain of the royal Cantorlot guards Shining Armor. And his bride to be and ruler of Crystal Empire Princess Candace. Well this such an honor to meet such A… royal family. Hey what about me. Asked Spike. I didn't get no introduction. Oh this uhh. Rarity tried to say. This is spoke. He's my brother and my faithful assistant. Well it's an honor to meet all of you my name is Aloe. She introduced herself. She wore pink uniform with a Lotus flower symbol on it with slip on shoes and a head wrap her blue hair. Here's our menu of our services. She handed to them. Looking through it Shining said. think I'll take the body massage. What you going get? He asked Candace. I'm gonna get the sauna I really need to open my pours. What about you Spike. She asked. I'm with Shining. I think it would be nice to experience a massage. So darling what are you going to get? Rarity asked I'm not sure there so many options. He said to her. Well let me take a look. As she swiped the menu from his hands. Hey! He yelled. Taking a look Rarity spotted of what she thought would be perfect for Dusk. Here it is. She pointed. A hot tub? Dusk said. Yes it's perfect for someone like you. She said to him. Well I guess I can give it a try. As he and the others split up.
"Man this feels great. Spike thought as the hands of the massager moved throughout his back. If I had known spas were like this I would've came her more often. Shining Armor was also enjoying his body massage as his rank as captain was not only a responsible duty as it was a demanding one. In the sauna Candace sat comfortably as the heat from the furnace opened up her pours causing the sweat to drip down all over her body. After changing out of his clothes and into swimming trucks Dusk was ready for his first hot tub treatment. Here it goes. He said to himself as he slowly walked into the sauna bath. Feeling the warmth of water. Dusk said to himself this.. this feels nice. Now sitting with his neck deep in the warm water. He hoped that Spike was enjoying his massage as it was their first ever coming to a place like this. But wait he thought. What did Rarity order? He wondered. She didn't mention of what she was going to get but… oh well. As he closed his eyes and meditated trying clear his mind of his troubles. The warmth of the tub was so relaxing that Dusk didn't even hear sound of the door to the room opened but he immediately opened his eyes when he heard small splashing sounds and he opened to his shock he saw Rarity sitting across from him. Hello darling. She said with a smile. Looking at her her skin it shined like it did in Everfree Forest. She wore a white bikini bathing suit. Tell me darling. She said to don't mind if if I share this warm bath with you. Unable to speak Dusk shook his head no. thank you. His face felt just as hot as water in the tub he was in. After a few moments of silence Rarity spoke again to Dusk. Tell me darling is this your first time in place like this? With little hesitation Dusk answered. Yes. While in Canterlot Dusk Shine had the privilege to try out some of the capital's cities luxuries, but he was more interested in his studies than anything else. While pondering to this the new prince of Equestria notice that Rarity was no longer sitting across from him,now she was now sitting on the side close to him. Tell me. She said. How's your flying coming along, I've seen you flying through the sky though I have seen you crash. My flying is coming along nicely. He replied. This morning I was able maintain myself perfectly no cashes or anything. Oh that's nice to hear. Said Rarity. Also. Dusk continued. I managed to visit Clouds Dale. You mean the floating city above us? What was it like? Well… He told her. It was like any other town in Equestria except the buildings and structures were made out of some sort of cloud material and, I did see the where they made the weather and the upcoming winter snowflakes. Really how interesting anything else? As she moved herself more closely. Making Dusk Shine slightly more nervous. .. umm. Trying not look at Rarity while blushing. As he continued after that we went to see where the clouds were made but while doing that these three winged guys came they started picking on Rainbow calling her Rainbow Crash. Oh my. Said a shocked Rarity. If I was there I would've given them a piece of mind. Well that's exactly what I did. Dusk told her. What did you do. Why I…I uhh. As he looked at Rarity wet body with that he Shook his head. Rarity laughed at this. With that Dusk cleared his throat. As I was saying when I saw Rainbow embarrassed I told them to apologies but of course they rebuffed me. So using my magical staff I tore a riff into to the cloud floor below them,and with the magical spell I placed on those three bullies they weren't able to fly. Heavens you let them fell to their deaths? Rarity said horrid voice. No no no it wasn't like he assured her. Once they got close to the ground I levitated them back up to Clouds Dale. Once back up here I again demanded they apologize to Rainbowfor their arrogance or I wouldn't be saving them a second time. And did they apologize? Rarity asked . Of course. He answered. And with that. He went on. I close up the hole I made and set the three bullies free and after which they flew off. And that's it? Well….He told Her. After dealing with that Rainbow wanted to show me something. And that is? Well as we flew off she took me this large dome building which turned out to be her home. Wait. Rarity said abruptly. She took you to her house? Yes why? He said confused. Typical Rarity thought. I thought I felt bad when Rainbow was bullied by those winged men but to try to steal my Dusk from me? Oh Rainbow when I see you again I swear I'll make you pay. Are you Okay. Dusk ask seeing the anger and frustration in her eyes. Realizing this Rarity smiled and said. Nothing just thinking of something. So you were saying that Dash invited you to her house. Oh yes right. But before we entered however Dash saw her front door was opened. Thinking someone had broken in we readied ourselves as we headed inside. Looking around nothing was stolen but…After we searched both of us heard a female behind and above us. Turned out the intruder was Dash's old child friend Gilda. Tell me. Said Rarity. Is Gilda the girl who looks human but has brown feathers and wings on her arms,and has talons for feet. And she wore a brown coat and blue jeans? Why yes but…how'd you know? Dusk asked her. Well it was before I ran into you. I was just about to leave the boutique when I came across a small bottle on my door looked like perfume though I did have my suspicions but my Curiosity got the better of me and with one whiff after I opened it did I felt the sneezing sensation. After that I did sneeze I heard the sound of laughter coming from a nearby brush,and with that I saw Rainbow along with Pinkie and new their new associate laughing at my misfortune. I was about to make them pay but I decided to deal with them anther time. And that's how I know her. She finished her story. So what about you? What happen after your encounter with her? Dusk was about to speak until both heard the door to the tub opened. Seeing who it was it looked like Aloe but the girl had a blue uniform and pink hair. Greetings Mr Shine I hope I'm not interrupting anything I just came to check up on you. I'm fine. After that the pink hair look alike of Aloe saw Rarity and said to her. Oh Miss Rarity I didn't know you were here,are enjoying the warm waters of the hot tub as well? Yes splendidly. She said. Okay I leave you two be. Wait! Dusk yelled. What's your name? It's just you look like the girl from the front desk. Oh my name is Lotus no pun intended due to the flower being on my uniform. Me and my twin sisters Aloe run this run this place together. Oh I see. Dusk replied. And with that Lotus left. Alone Rarity asked Dusk what happened after he and Rainbow encounter with Gilda. But before that she said. How did she get into Rainbow's house to begin with. Well… He said. She said used a trick she had used to break into dorms of some bullies that were bothering her and Rainbow. Plus after the encounter the two of them embraced each other,but she soon notice me and didn't seem very impressed,and made commits about my face of how feminine it was. After that Rainbow told me the reason why she was acting like she was because,in own words she was real just like the rest of her kind was. And sense there was nothing else to do I flapped my wings and headed down to Ponyville. After hearing this a huge smile formed on Rarity face. So Rainbow didn't get the opportunity to have her pleasure with Dusk. She thought. Which means I still have the opportunity. Looking at his hands Dusk notice fingers were all pruny. Well it looks like it's time to leave. Leave? Rarity said confused. Just as Dusk was step out she yelled. Wait as she pulled him back. Huh? He said confused while looking at her. What's wrong? He asked her. Quickly thinking Rarity said. Oh it's just…uhh. Why don't you stay a little longer. Please. She gave a pitiful look. Looking at this with her glittering watery skin he sighed and said. Fine. As he sat down much to Rarity's delight. After a few moments of awkward silence Rarity spoke. So tell me darling do you find attractive when I'm in water. Dusk felt embarrassed by the question but utter. Yes. Now now dear it's nothing to be shamed about I'm happy you find me attractive. With that Dusk saw her unclipped the top of her bathing suit. Making him look away. Soon after she hugged him in the water making him more nervous. As she said to him. Don't worry dear I'll be gentle relax. At Sugar Cube Conner Pinkie was busy putting the final touches on a cake. However she suddenly felt her hair twitch and knew what was going on. And said. Oh that Rarity. She said in frustration. But than she sighed and no matter I get Dusky's attention soon enough. As she continued her work.
That was nice. Candace said when she stepped out of the sauna just as Spike and Shining Armor finished up their massages. That was just what I needed. Shining said. Yeah that was a good massage I'm gonna start coming here more often. Spike told him. I hope little shiny was able to enjoy his hot tub treatment. I'm sure he did. Spike said but wondered what Rarity got. Meeting up Candace Shining Armor asked her how the sauna was. It's was nice. She answered. So I'm guessing you both enjoy your massages. Yep spike said. Can't wait to come back here again. Do you guys know where's Dusk is? As an answer Dusk Shine appeared between the trio. He was in his usual attire and holding his staff but his face and was red and muttering in incoherently. Big bro are you okay? Asked Spike. Looking at his assistant Dusk could only nod. Looks you spent too long in the hot tub. Said Older brother With that Rarity appeared all dress up and said to everyone. So I trust you all enjoyed your spa treatment I hope. Oh yeah we did. Spike said happily. Seeing Rarity appearance made Dusk groan even more. As his brother and Candace looked at with concerned. I have so many questions as to what just happened. He thought. So Rarity. Spike asked her. What did you get? Looking small imp she tried to come up with an answer I uhh... But before she could finish her sentence Sweetie Bell had walked in. Big sister there you are. Sweetie Bell what you doing here? She asked. Well I was going to Sugar Cube Conner when I bumped into Pinkie Pie who just got finished sending out the invites to the party she was hosting. She told me to go find you since you weren't over at the boutique so I went at the usual shops and places before coming here. Yeah Pinkie is having a party for us and Rainbows friend who is also visiting. Shining said to Her. Hmmm. Rarity thought well perhaps I'll go to it'll give me a chance show more people of the stunning hat I made. With that Sweetie bell notice Spike was with them and said. Hi cutie. Making him blush once more. Do you like coming to places like this? Well uhh… He tried to explained. It's my first time in a place and the first time big bro been here right? Dusk was silent his mind was still in a trauma like state. So did you both enjoy the spa?Sweetie bell asked him. Yeah it was nice. But not sure about Dusk though. Well I'm sure he enjoyed it. Rarity assured them. Spike was a bit suspicious of this and before he could speak Shining said. Alright if everyone is done talking let's head to where the party is we don't want be late. You ready? He asked Candace. I'm ready. Well let's go you guys coming. He said to the others coming Spike shouted. Hold on I'm coming too. Sweetie Bell be careful. Rarity said as she was about to leave but realized Dusk was still standing in the frozen position his still in his state of shock. Come on darling. She said as she grabbed him by the arm pulling him. We don't want to be late now do we? As they both of them left the spa.
