"What's taking you so long, Bon Bon?" Lyra grumbled.
"Look." Bon Bon fumbled and fumbled before a door. "Turning a key with your hooves is... super hard."
"Shoulda just handed it over to me."
"Can't let you do everything this vacation."
"Yes you can."
"I want you to relax! I want everypony to relax!"
"How can we relax if we can't even open the damn door?"
"I'm working on it! Stop crowding me!"
"But you're so squishy, though."
"Eugh..." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Get a room you two... owait."
"Say, is it just me...?" Caramel peered down the corridor of the tenth floor. "...or is it kinda misty in these hallways?"
"I think..." Rainbow's ears twitched to the sound of a distant, cheap, Nightmare Night ghost howl persistently warbling against the walls of the place. "...they've got a fog machine built up here."
"Sweet Celestia. At this rate, the beds are going to be filled with rubber spiders."
"Sounds like my trip to Fillyda all over again."
"Ah-HA!" Bon Bon grinned wide as she opened the door and shuffled on through. "Told you it wouldn't take long!"
"Liar," Lyra grumbled.
"Oh just relax, will you?" Bon Bon stuck her tongue out before leading the way forward. "Let's just enjoy the fruits of our travel."
"Yeah right," Lyra droned. "Unless this is the legendary room that Elvis Prancely died in, I suspect we'll be in for a let down—" Lyra's amber eyes bulged. "Holy shit."
"OooOooOooOooh..." Caramel cooed, his eyes sparkling.
"Eeee!" Bon Bon squee'd, pausing to squeeze her grinning cheeks together.
The suite opened up like a royal palace's atrium. Brick walls and brick pillars framed a round sitting area that then descended into a cocktail room with fuzzy purple carpet. Velvet couches with purple satin pillows lingered next to a grand piano with a coat of violet varnish. Royal purple curtains lined the windows, dimming the indigo shades of the spacious interior from the hot Las Pegasus sun. In fact, the entire suite looked as though a gigantic grape exploded and stained every square inch of the pristine interior. Thanks to the smattering of gothic architecture and decorations all throughout, the rooms gave the distinct impression of the cushioned interior of a coffing... or a hearse.
"I-I think I've died!" Bon Bon whimpered, eyes watering. "Died and gone to death heaven!"
"How many friggin' rooms are in this place?" Lyra wheezed.
"Three... four... five—no wait, that's the bathroom." Rainbow blinked. "Two bathrooms?"
"Buck me." Lyra ran her hoof across a few piano keys. "If Vinyl gets this kind of stuff complimentary, then why in Tartarus does she hang out with a bunch of losers like us?"
"Gotta hoof it to the mare." Bon Bon said, still reeling. "She's humble."
"She's stupid, is what she is. With high rolling rewards like this, she could be bumping drinking elbows with Prince Blueblood."
"Prince Blueblood would probably hit on her."
"So? She could hit him back! Piledriver him straight through a friggin' table then put it on her tab."
"Eeeeeeeee!" Caramel spun in the center of the room. "I feel... I feel..."
"Don't you bucking say it—"
"...just like a princess!"
"Eughhh..." Lyra face-hoofed.
"Heeheehee!"
"Glad you like it, Caramel," Bon Bon said with a wink.
"Mrmmmmfff..." Rainbow Dash bit her lip as she lifted her hooves above the fuzzy carpet.
"Not a fan of the opulence, Rainbow Dash?" Bon Bon asked.
"It's... a bit much."
"You said you wanted to stretch your wings. Why not do it here? Hehe... from the looks of things, you could reenact your Ghastly Gorge run!"
"Thanks, but no thanks. I really gotta get a feel for this town. Where's the balcony?"
"Swing a dead cat and I bet you'll find it," Lyra said.
"Over there, Rainbow." Caramel said, pointing at a sliding glass window. "Right past the—oh... is that a wine cooler?"
"Right." Rainbow Dash waved, hovering across the room. "Take it easy, girls. I gotta shake some of this luxury off."
"Be sure to get back in time to catch Vinyl's show!" Bon Bon said.
"Oh, I wouldn't dream of missing it."
"Hmmmm..." Bon Bon smiled, trotting towards the nearest bathroom. "Time for that shower. Heeeee... I can't wait to see what kind of facilities they have in here. It'll be the first time in my life I've been treated like royalty—"
"WRIIIIIII!" A plastic ghost descended from the doorframe.
"AAAACK!" Bon Bon fell onto the fuzzy carpet.
