Everyone entered the Ponyville Day Spa. The Rangers saw no other ponies except themselves and their friends, excluding the spa ponies who chatted amongst themselves. However, the boys seem to have this uneasiness feeling of being in the spa. Troy did say this will only be a one time thing for him and the guys.
To be fair, the guys are doing this for the girls.
While Rarity spoke to the spa pony behind the counter, Noah gave Fluttershy a playful nudge with his elbow. “Think it’s a great idea to bring us guys here to this place?”
Fluttershy laughed, though she wasn’t sure if he was being serious or joking around. She thought it was a good idea to unwind after cleaning up all the snow. She hadn’t been to the spa in awhile now, for she does want to kick back and relax.
She went over to a couch, sitting on it. Naturally, the Blue Ranger sat with her, his eyes on the floor. “In case you were wondering, I was kidding when I questioned you about us guys being here,” he told her, putting on a friendly smirk, glancing at her. “I don’t think being here won’t be bad, despite my leader saying us stallions will do this one time.” He leaned towards her. “To be honest,” he whispered, like he didn’t want anyone to hear him, “I’m glad that you’re here.”
Grinning back at him, she’d like hearing this from him. Saying he’s glad to be in the spa with her has touched her heart. From looking at his body language, she can tell he seemed slightly embarrassed about going somewhere what guys consider ‘girly’.
She bet once the male Rangers see some other stallions here, they’ll start to get comfortable in this place.
Rarity came back, bouncing her mane with her hoof. “I got all of us set up. The girls and I will get hooficures and hornicures. This also includes soaking in the tubs-”
“Hold it,” the Red Ranger halted. “Us…” He lowered his voice. “...Rangers, aren’t taking our clothes off. We know you ponies don’t normally wear clothes, but I don’t think any of us are willing to do baths.”
“I knew you would say something about this. I told the spa pony how you always wear clothes, and she and her crew are allowing you to wear the robes in the tubs. They will dry them afterwards.” The Rangers relaxed from hearing this from her. “Anyways, the hooficures and hornicures for the girls, relaxing in the tubs…” She placed her hoof on her chin, thinking. “And all of us will be getting messages. Yep, that’s everything.” A cart came with six robes. “Just in time, Lotus.” She came up to the cart. “Here you go.” She gave each Ranger a robe. “Lotus will show you wear to get change, then she’ll take you to the room we’ll be in.”
Holding their robes, the Rangers followed Lotus to where there were changing rooms. Each Ranger went into each one to undress and put on their robes.
With robes on, Lotus offered to wash their clothes and will give them back after they are done with their spa appointment.
Taking them to the room where everyone else is at, they saw Twilight and her friends, including the Power Ponies laying in the spa beds. The spa ponies had already gotten started on the girls hooficures and hornicures.
One spa pony came up to Gia and Emma. “Care for a hooficure?” She showed them a few empty spa beds.
All giddied up, the girls went to each seat, laying down on their backs. The boys can somewhat smirk, seeing their teammates having a good time as the spa ponies got to work on their hooves.
The room also had a large tub, including smaller ones. Noah saw the smaller ones are in the color pink. Yeah… not a good color for a guy. He decided the large tub is for the best since it was brown.
He went up the steps that surrounded it, then got in. The robe got soaked right away, but he can feel the warm water on his fur underneath the robe he was wearing.
Seeing him in there gave the other guys some confidence. They went up the steps, and got in the tub.
Thank Celestia that Rarity said that the hooficures and hornicures are for her and the girls. The girls will be relaxing in the tub after their hooves are done, and all of them - including the boys - will be getting messages.
Noah looked down from the tub, seeing a spa pony placing a mud mask and cucumbers on Rarity. He guessed she requested it since none of the other girls don't have that sort of stuff on them.
Seeing Fluttershy, he hadn’t noticed that her hooves had been finished - filed and polished. She went over to one of the pink tubs, submerging herself into the water. She had a towel wrapped around her hair.
The other girls had their hooves and horns done, now getting in the tubs. Gia and Emma joined the guys in the large one. “So.” Emma nudged Troy with the tip of her wing. “How do you boys feel?”
“Honestly...relaxed,” he admitted, leaning against the wall of the tub. “I was sure all of us guys would hate it.” He placed his arms on the edge. “Right?” His direction turned to the other stallions.
Jake swirled his hoof around in the water. “I guess so… I mean, it isn’t so bad.” He wondered how long they all have to soak in the tub.
“This reminds me when I got my hair done,” Orion recalled, sweeping his hoof on his hair, for it brought back memories when he first met his new friends.
“Dude, it wasn’t a spa; it was a hair salon.” Noah rolled his eyes. “The one thing I recalled is how long it took for you to get fully...prepped up.” He snickered when the pegasus shoved him.
“Whatever,” he responded after pushing his friend. “I’m glad the spa ponies let us wear these robes in the tub.”
“So am I, but won’t the spa beds get, you know, wet?” Gia picked up.
Her pegasus friend answered. “They’ll probably put a couple of towels on them. I don’t think those beds were cheap.” Like her leader, she laid back, her eyes closed with content.
Noah sat there, watching the yellow pony in the smaller tub. Like she sensed him, she opened her eyes, waving at him as he waved back. Afterwards, he removed his glasses, setting them nearby. His friends were leaning at the back of the tub. For him, he slumped back, until he was completely under water.
He heard nothing, aside from a few chatters from a few ponies; his eyes shut to keep the water out of them. It felt nice to feel this content, not worrying about the Armada and the changelings attacking the citizens. It was a call back when the Silver Ranger came, keeping in secret until his leader confronted him.
It was also great to be away from the computer from home, which can be weird to some since he practically lives in the computer lab back on earth. He was once in there all night, falling asleep on the table when he was doing research on what weapons they can use on the one monster that’ll take their Sabers and Blasters.
It was then he heard a gasp, muffled out from being in the water completely. “Noah’s drowning!”
“What-?” He hadn’t finished when he was yanked out of the tub by a certain party animal. “Pink-” He was interrupted when she began to forcefully planting her hooves on his chest in a harsh way, causing him to puff out air.
“BREATHE!” she yelled out, continuing to pump at his chest in this rough manner whether than normal CPR for a drowned victim. Noah tried to tell her she was fine, only he couldn’t for how much she was shoving her hooves on his upper part of his body, having him look like he couldn’t actually breathe. “No! Noah stopped breathing. Time to perform mouth-to-mouth.” She was about to place her mouth on his to blow air into it when he put a hoof on her mouth.
“Pinkie - I’m fine.”
“Oh,” she responded when his hoof was removed from her lips. She then went back to the small tub she was in.
Fluttershy got out of her tub, dripping wet. She went up the steps to the landing, peering down at the Blue Ranger. “You okay, Noah…?”
Rubbing his face, he let out a breath from his nose. “I’m fine, Flutters…” He placed his glasses back on, then saw the lenses have droplets on it. He took them off, using the robe to dry them off. “Great way to relax,” he muttered, rubbing his chest. “If I ever drown in a pond, I don’t want Pinkie Pie giving me CPR,” he requested, somewhat giving the party pony a hard gaze.
She can only smile sheepishly, while Applejack and Lacy Lasso who are on each side of her gave her narrowing eyes.
“Let’s get messages.” The room got broken from the silence when the Element of Generosity let out a sing-song voice. “Let’s follow Aloe to where we’re getting our messages.”
“Can’t we have them in this room?” Gia asked, moving herself from the tub. Her robe was sopping wet. The water seemed to roll off, dripping on the landing.
“We could, except there aren’t enough beds. Whenever the spa ponies have this many of us, we’ll go to a separate room to get messages,” she explained, adjusting the towel that was around her mane.
Aloe came up to Noah and his buddies. “Do you want new robes? I’m willingly to give you brand new robes,” she offered.
Emma arched a brow. “Didn’t you say the spa ponies will dry our robes after we’re done here?” she directed towards Rarity.
“I did… However...I bet they don’t want their spa beds getting wet…” She looked at Aloe, unsure what else to say.
“We can put a couple of towels on the spa beds. Besides, you and your friends are wet too… Wait! I got a brilliant idea. Follow me.” Leading them to another room, they saw it was a hair salon area. “We can use these body dryers to dry you off.” She got them each sitting down, then turned the dryers on.
The warm breeze felt great on them. “I should’ve said something else.” Rarity looked like she had some guilt in her. “I should’ve asked if you spa ponies have any swimsuits for them,” she spoke to Aloe.
“No worries,” the spa pony assured, patting her regular client on the shoulder. “It’s water after all. When I think about it…” She looked at the body dryers. “...these things will get you nice and dry. They’re our new things here in our beauty parlor.”
When all of them are dried - both fur and robes - she took them to the area where they can get messages. The Rangers saw a few stallions there, wearing the spa attire like the mares are who work here.
With pleasure, all of the girls got on each bed, laying on their stomachs. Certainly, the guys stood there, seemingly apprehensive.
Their teammates saw this, getting off their beds. Gia went behind Jake, pushing him towards an empty spa bed. Her friend grabbed the front of her leader's robe, pulling him to the other one. She got Troy to lay on a spa bed, the one next to her. The Yellow Ranger did the same for Jake.
They then got Orion, for he still remembered when they took him to the mall to get a new makeover and clothes. They both got him to be on a spa bed.
Unwilling for those two to go after Noah, he went over to a spa bed that was next to Fluttershy. He doesn’t seem to need any persuading, all thanks to her.
His stomach on the bed, he rested his chin on his front hooves. When he felt a pair of hooves on him, he instantly relaxed even more to where he shut his eyes.
He never had messages. Well, except when him and his best friend got bodied swapped from a monster where his friend was him and he was his friend. In other words, he was in Jake’s body, while Jake was in his body.
It made him want to laugh when Gia and Emma kept mixing them up. Even his teacher had been confused.
He laid there, enjoying the gentle message like everybody else is doing.
It was life to him.
