Forced into an exhausting and frustrating job by Twilight during what should be a relaxing summer break, Spike is flabbergasted to find that his first pay check will be coming late. The spa's owners, however, are confident they can give him something to tide him over until then.

A collaboration written in conjunction with my good friend (and even better writer) FamousLastWords. Rated T for adorable foreign pony swearing and spa snuggles.

When Rarity sees Applejack hanging out by a certain building in town more and more, she can't help but to confront the little farmer and find out exactly what's going on...

A short fic written for a writing exercise as part of my little Skype group, with the constraints of a prompt and a word limit of 1500 - 2000 words. One of my lighter and sillier pieces. Written to get out of poo-head.

Even athletes know when they have to go into beauty works for the sake of their health. Rainbow Dash knows this and yet she has to confront her fears in some way.

Lotus Blossom and Aloe have been treating Rainbow Dash for weeks now, and a few weeks after the events of The Throne of Tirek, Rainbow comes in long overdue for a treatment. Maybe it isn't so bad sometimes to do this whole girly stuff, but it certainly is wince-inducing.

Set in the Somepony Universe, at the same time as Road Trip

Lotus is a professional masseuse. She sees the pony below the skin, and tends to coax just as much out of their mouths as their muscles. Late one day, she gives three very different massages to three close friends, all of whom mention a name she isn't familiar with: Applejack.

The original version of the story took 5th place in The Writeoff Association's February 2015 contest, "Closing Time"

With so many products to have to manage getting ready every morning, Twilight decides to fix the problem with a little magic.

Aloe and Lotus are having a slow day at the spa, and are rather bored. When Rarity shows up by herself, and finds nopony else to talk to during her beautification, she ends up striking up a conversation with the two ponies who own the spa.

There are many words that can describe the equine force of nature that is Pinkie Pie: loud, fast, bouncy, hyperactive, wild, frenzied, fun...

These are, Rarity would freely admit, normally absolutely wonderful qualities for her friend to have. However, there are circumstances where even the most universally positive qualities are... not ideal. And, she would politely insist, there is at least one place in Ponyville that Pinkie's irrepressible exuberance should never intrude upon: the spa. Rarity would consider this a reasonable arrangement.

And yet, thanks to an ill-timed conversation and the dread spectre of social politeness, these two worlds of hers will soon collide when she is forced to invite Pinkie to spend some time with her in her haven of relaxation.

Will the Ponyville Spa survive? And even if it does, will Rarity's reputation there come out unscathed? Or will, by some miracle, Pinkie bring herself down to the realm of mortals and show Rarity more about herself than she ever could have guessed.

Note: the cover picture is entirely unrelated to the story, except in as much as it involved Pinkie and Rarity at the spa and it amused me.

Rarity and Pinkie Pie meet with each other at the spa. It does not end well.

Discord knows Fluttershy and Rarity go off without him all the time.

The real question is where they go, and why?

And why is seaweed involved?
