Luna and Celestia Made their way to the Canterlot spa, one of the best in Equestria, Celestia hoping Luna can manage to relax. as they strode through the bustling city Celestia was greeted with bowing and praise while Luna was met with awkward stares. Celestia noticed this and took a mental note to address Luna later about it, perhaps she had not been exaggerating how other ponies felt about her after all.
The spa in Canterlot is called the Gilded Cloud, and only the most skilled hooves can hope to be employed, as It comes into view Luna sees Celestia smile rather large as she says "Sister this will be JUST what we need, who knows,maybe your masseur will be a cutie"Celestia finished with a wink, causing Luna to blush.
"Would it matter if He was? thought we were here to relax?"Luna said, forcing a small smirk.
"Not entirely no, But you have yet to ask any stallions to the Gala, being princess does not mean you cannot have a date" Celestia said giving Luna a Nudge.
"Perhaps we should discuss that topic later..." Said Luna, completely red under her coat.
As they entered the spa they were greeted warmly at the counter by a red mare with a fiery orange mane, gold eyes, and whose words flowed like a gentle breeze in the summer.
"Welcome to the Gilded Cloud Princesses, I am Honey Verse, How may we serve you today?" She said smiling, Celestia stepped forward and spoke before Luna could, saying "Good Day Honey Verse, I will take the gold service package and Luna shall have the Platinum, sorry for not arranging an appointment ahead of time, we have each been busy." Celestia inclined her head in a small bow, hoping she wouldn't have to pull the "we are royalty be nice to us" card.
"No problem at all, So gold for you and Platinum for Princess Luna? Please let me or any of the other workers know if you need anything." Honey Verse said, handing each of them a small slip of paper each with a stamp indicating their service package on it. Before they started walking Celestia said to the receptionist "Actually if you could be sure to send in some particularly handsome masseurs, that would be absolutely lovely" She finished glancing over at Luna,who blushed profusely.
Smirking, Honey Verse simply said "Right, eye-candy for the massages, no problem" She tossed in a wink, it seemed that Celestia came here often enough that the mare need not worry about excessive formalities.
Stepping into a large room two stallions each offered to take any belongings they had. Celestia removed her crown and other adornments with a smile, causing Luna to gasp saying "But your crown?!".
"Oh yes sister, while here I prefer that wretched thing to be out of sight" Celestia said giving her hair a playful whip back, something that would not be very easy if the crown were still on.
"Well,we suppose it would make it easier to relax..."Luna said, doing the same as Celestia, and following her to a room with several large mud baths.
Luna watched as some mares wrapped Celestias mane up in a gold towel, and allowed the same to be done to herself. Celestia was the first to sink into the mud, giving a short sigh of relaxation, Luna did the same, surprised at how good the warm mud felt. Shifting slightly Luna closed her eyes, rolling her many thoughts around in her head. Here she was, without her crown, with her sister, in the most luxurious spa in all on Canterlot, and actually able to relax.
"What is on your mind Luna? you have been Quieter then normal." Came Celestias voice in a casual tone.
Luna thought a moment before responding "Well...we are just thinking of the...event we shall be hosting...and the Gala..." She paused "And our subjects..." Another pause, "And well...everything sister...Too much to think about lately, But we are fine..." She finished sighing as she relaxed more
Celestia simply chuckled saying "Maybe todays spa visit was just what you needed. Speaking of the Gala..."Celestia began the second part curiously "Have any stallions propositioned you to be their date?" She finished and could not help but smile as she did.
"B-but sister...We are the hosts, surely it would not be...proper for either of us to have a date...would it?" Luna said, stumbling over her words as if they were the roots of a tree in a dark forest.
"I see no reason why not...I have been asked before, but my refusal had less to do with social expectations and more to do with his rather flustered wife..."Celestia said, giggling a bit at the last part as she said it.
Luna was in complete shock "His wife? Surely you cannot be telling the truth..."
"Oh its the truth, of course that was quite awhile ago...but still the truth" Celestia said thinking back. "But that aside, answer my question...have you been asked?" she said, it seemed there was no avoiding the subject.
"Well...No...We have not...not that anypony would ask me...I'm just nightmare moon the jealous sister of the 'one true ruler'"She said sighing and slinking down into the mud more.
Celestia smirked saying "With a flank to KILL for"
To say Luna was taken aback would be an absolutely disgusting understatement, looking back at Celestia Luna said "W-wait...what now? Our...Our flank?" She could barely form the words in her head, let alone say them.
"Yes, your flank, I happened to catch quite a few of the guards eying it the other day "Celestia said giggling rather uncharacteristically.
Luna said no more as she blushed deeper, happy her fur was dark enough to hide it. She simply blocked out Celestia until she could compose herself.
Just then a mare in a golden vest walked over to escort them to the Showers so they can rinse off for the sauna. Luna managed to glance at a mounted clock seeing in was 1:00 pm... sighing again she followed the escort hoping to clear her mind of the impending dress fitting.
