Barb at the Spa

Author's Note:

Has been edited, thank Buckethelm

Barb walked quickly to the spa, her face twisted in rage at the fact that HE was in Ponyville. Her glare caused stallions who once stared at her with bedroom eyes to look away or hide. The only one who wasn’t afraid was Rarity, who was just a couple of steps behind the enraged dragoness.

Rarity’s thoughts were going at a mile a minute, trying to think about what to say to her friend without getting a black eye or something much worse. She fiddled with her hands and looked for any possible distraction to get Barb’s mind off the dragon they met.

“Soooo, I think we will enjoy the spa,” Rarity spoke, trying her chances with small talk, “the Blossom sisters know how to get a pony to relax, I am sure that they can do the same for you,”

“As long as he won’t visit the spa, I don’t care,” Barb replied harshly, not even looking at the marshmallow unicorn behind her. Her eyes continuing to glare in front of her, it didn’t even matter if an innocent foal looked at her with puppy-dog eyes, she would still have stared daggers into the foal.

“Ugh! Why did he come here? I swear if I see him again, I will give him worse than a black eye,” Barb thought to herself, not even noticing that spa was right in front of her, which in turn caused her to crash through the door, and face down on the floor. She groaned in minor pain as she heard footsteps coming to her.

“Are vou okay?” a mare voice with a germane accent asked, as the mare helped the dragoness up on her feet. Barb got a look at the mare and saw that it was Lotus, her dark blue eyes showing concern for the potential customer. Barb dusted herself off and did her best to look like nothing happened, which didn’t work as she was still wobbling a bit from the fall.

“I’m okay, I just didn’t realize that I was this close to the spa, I was distracted with some things.”

Rarity came rushing right after Barb spoke, sporting a fearful look, mostly because of the risk that she would no longer be allowed in the spa, and rather that her friend was hurt. “I am truly sorry for my friend here, I promise that we will do anything to pay for the damages,” Rarity apologized, not hearing the blue spa pony giggle.

“No need to apologize, Mizz Rarity, it is just a door, ve can replace it in the morning,” Lotus said, a smile on her face. As Rarity was their number 1 customer, she was willing to lay off some charges for property damage.

Rarity gave a sigh of relief and began to put herself in a proper pose, while she was helping Barb with her wobbling. Rarity cleared her throat and spoke in a proper way. “Now that has been taken care of, my friend and I would like to relax at your spa. I will be paying for the works.”

Lotus beamed at the last word and gave a curt bow, “Of course, I vill get my sister, then ve shall show you to the changing hall,” with that, Lotus left, giving both Barb and Rarity a view of the spa pony’s high skirt that showed her bubble butt outlined in the skirt.

Barb turned to Rarity and asked, “Do they always dress like that?”

“Unfortunately, yes. According to Aloe, ‘it is to help bring in more stallion customers’, I am all for advertising, I just wish that they wouldn’t dress like indecent bimbos to get stallions to come in,” Barb nodded as she understood, but couldn’t help but feel guilty that when she was a drake, she fantasized of mares in revealing clothes. She was part of the problem, and she experienced it first hand when the stallions stared at her.

As they waited, a side door opened to admit Lotus and her sister, Aloe, whowere smiling at the two, ready to serve their customers. “Can vou please follow us and ve vill give vou vour robes and undress,” Lotus said.

Barb and Rarity got up and followed the two spa ponies to the changing hall. Aloe took Barb to a separate room, with Lotus taking Rarity to another. Aloe closed the door and grabbed a purple robe for Barb.

“Now Miss, I vill have to ask you to take off your clothes, then put the robe on,” Aloe explained to Barb. The reaction she got was a flushed face and the dragoness grabbing her left arm.

“Okay, but could you please leave the room? I don’t like undressing in public,” Barb asked shyly. All she got was a nod from the pink spa pony, who left the room, leaving the dragoness alone. Making sure that there weren’t any cracks in the walls or doors big enough for somepony to see through, Barb began to undress.

“Maybe Rarity is right: who knows, the spa may relax me, or better yet, make me forget that he is here,” her face went into confusion, “Actually, why is he here? Last time I checked he was doing fine in the dragonlands. I guess I’ll never know.”

Barb was undressed and took the robe. Putting it on, she was surprised how soft the robe was, and how spacey it was; she swore she could just hug herself all day. “Where did that come from? Is the magic making me more feminine? Then again, I do like stallions, and like I said to Twilight, I will only wear a dress if the occasion calls for it,” Barb reminded herself, not wanting to make the day worse for herself.

She stepped out of the room to see that Rarity was also wearing her robe. Except hers was white with her cutie mark on the left part of her chest.

“Say, why do you have your cutie mark on your robe?” Barb asked.

“Well, I had it custom made, since I do come here very often with Fluttershy,” Rarity explained, as Lotus opened a door.

“Please follow me, relaxation can’t start if vou just stand there,” Lotus spoke. Barb and Rarity went through the door into the main area, which had the massage tables, pool, and the mud bath. There was also a door leading to the sauna. Barb had to admit that it had a relaxing feel to it, with water going over some rocks and white noise playing. Her thoughts were interrupted when Aloe tapped her shoulder and pointed to the massage tables.

“Ve vill first start the massage, but since I know that you are shy of others seeing you nude, we will go to the closed off area,” Aloe explained, directing the dragoness to the walled off area, she then grabbed two towels and gave them to Barb. “Please take off your robe and put the towel around the front of your chest and around the hip, it is for privacy reasons. Then lay down on your stomach on the table.”

Barb stared at the towels in her arms, then at Aloe who quickly understood and turned around. Happy, Barb took off her robe and hung it up on one of the coat hangers, took the towels and wrapped them around the her chest and hip. After that she lay down on the table stomach first. “I am ready, Aloe,”

Aloe turned around to see that the dragoness did do what she said, she walked over to the table, she picked up a bottle of lotion and squirt some in her hand, rubbing her hands together she spoke to Barb, “Now this is the first time I did this on a dragoness, if you feel any discomfort, please tell me,”

Barb nodded, causing Aloe to start the massage om Barb’s feet, she grabbed one of them in her hands and using her thumbs, started to make small circles. She felt that the dragoness was tense just by the state of her feet, and wondered how much this dragoness had gone through.

Barb, meanwhile, felt like she was in heaven. Already she could feel her foot loosening up, and the way Aloe was massaging her caused the dragoness to moan in relaxation. She had no idea why Rainbow Dash hated spas, she’d never felt something like this before. The pleasure in her feet stopped, but before she could complain she felt it in her legs. She shivered at how it felt and let out a low moan. She closed her eyes and smiled, wondering how Rarity was doing.

________________________________________________________________________

Rarity smiled blissfully at both the massage she was getting from Lotus and the moans coming from Barb. As Lotus worked on Rarity’s back, she decided to strike up a conversation. “Who is this new friend of yours?”

“Her name is Barb, but you may know her better as Spike,” Rarity answered, her eyes half closed from the massage, not even noticing that Lotus had a shocked look on her face.

“Really? Vhat happened to the little drake that turned him into the beautiful dragoness?”

“Apparently Twilight was doing an experiment with raw magic, but kept it sealed in a container, Barb just happened to release it, and it transformed the her into what you see now,” Rarity explained.

________________________________________________________________________

“Oh my, Miss Sparkle must feel terrible,” Aloe said, busy massaging Barbs shoulders, while the dragoness gave a sad face.

“She does, she thinks it’s her own fault that I am now a dragoness. I wish she would not blame herself for what I did,” Barb, while feeling relaxed, still remembered how Twilight looked when she left, sad that she blamed herself for it. It hurt her.

“Well, Miss Barb, she is glad to have somepony like you to make her feel better. Somepony who cares for her friends, no matter what happened,”

Barb blushed at the statement; she always felt that she was lucky to have Twilight as a sister, but to hear that a pony was lucky to have her was an unexpected, pleasant surprise . “Thanks, Aloe, you sure know how to make a pony, or dragoness, happy.”

Aloe giggled at the compliment, “No need, it is part of my job to make you happy and relaxed.”

Aloe removed her hands and walked to a sink to wash her hands, “your massage is finished, please take off the towels and put your robe back on.”

Barb got up from the table, and was surprised by how she felt; she wasn’t tense anymore, she felt relaxed and more flexible. She took off her towels and quickly put her robe back on so Aloe wouldn’t see her naked form. Tying the belt around her waist, she followed Aloe out of the room to see Rarity and Lotus waiting for them.

“Did Miss Barb enjoy her massage?” Lotus asked, getting a blushed nod from. Lotus was more than satisfied with the answer, giving Aloe a big smile for her job. “Now ve go to the sauna, ve do not know if it will help you Miss Barb. Ve vill find out,, though.”

Lotus and Aloe led their two customers to the sauna, they heated up the rocks and had some buckets of water ready. Meanwhile Barb and Rarity sat down and decided to talk.

“I must say, you seem to be enjoying yourself. If you like this, we might even go out more often,” Rarity beamed, loving the idea of having an extra member for the spa, also that the room began to fill with steam as Aloe poured some water on the hot rocks.

Barb on the other hand was not so keen on the idea. “Sorry, Rarity; while this is nice, I don’t think I can stand going here a lot, maybe occasionally though,” she apologized. She knew that Rarity would understand, as she knew that Applejack was also the same.

“Well, it didn’t hurt to think about it, but I must ask...” Rarity said, now having some water roll down her fur as more steam formed in the room. “Why did you punch that red dragon?”

At this, Barb tensed and gave a low growl, scaring the three mares in the room, “I punched him because that dragon happened to be Garble,” Barb answered her eyes narrowing at the image of the dragon.

Rarity put a closed hand on her mouth as she tried to remember who Garble was. She knew that he was one of the dragons that bullied Spike, but wasn’t sure which one. As she thought harder, her face went into shock in realization, which soon turned into anger. “He was the dragon that forced you to do all those things for his ‘friends’ was he?”

“Yes he was,” Barb confirmed, the water droplets evaporating from her scales.

“Well, I hope he isn’t planning to do anything while he is here… Actually, why is he here?” Rarity’s anger turned into confusion as she realized that Garble was in Ponyville, and the fact that he was dressed. As from what she saw, dragons prefered to be in the nude.

“I don’t know, and I don’t care, I just hope he leaves soon,” Barb answered, her anger slowly dissipating, allowing the droplets to form on her scales once again.

The two spa ponies were paying so much attention to Rarity and her friend, they didn’t even notice that they were out of water until they felt that the buckets were empty. Aloe turned off the heat source while Lotus talked to their two customers.

“Sorry, ve are out are out of time for the sauna, so ve will go straight to the mud baths,” Rarity and Barb got up and headed through the open door. Barb was still thinking about Garble, and why he was in Ponyville.

___________________________________________________________________________

Barb sat on a bench reading a magazine as Rarity paid at the counter. Barb couldn’t help but think that the trip was relaxing, and that she did feel happier than before. Her scales were shinier, her claws filed to get rid of the cracks, and her spikes were done so they were out of her face. She had to admit that the spa was a good idea after all.

She heard Rarity thank the Blossom sisters and the stood up after putting the magazine back on the book rack. Rarity walked up to her and smiled, “ready to go Barb?”

Barb smiled and followed Rarity out the door, or rather the door frame. The dragoness was still embarrassed about breaking the door.

“So, darling, are you having seconds thought about a weekly spa visit?” Rarity asked, knowing that Barb felt good the entire time they were there.

“No, Rarity, I still go by what I said, I will only occasionally go there, or if I am forced to,” Barb answered, giving off a cocky smile knowing that she won't be forced to go there every week.

Rarity sighed in defeat, “I see, but it is nice to know that you are accepting some of your new female instinct,” Rarity commented, not seeing Barb stop and stare at her in mild anger.

“You have no idea how hard it is for me to accept that I am now a dragoness, and making me do more feminine things is not helping,” Barb said, crossing her arms and standing at an angle. Rarity froze for a moment before apologizing.

“Sorry, Barb, I forgot that this is a bit touchy for you.”

“It’s okay, I didn’t mean to be angry at you,” Barb accepted the apology, feeling her anger cool down, but went up again when she saw a red figure wearing an all black ensemble.

“He is still here!?” Barb shouted, speedily walking past Rarity to the figure she saw, Rarity quickly followed her.

“Now I know you are angry at him, but please don’t hurt him again, at least try to talk to him,” Rarity said, being the voice of reason to Barb’s voice of violence. “No promises,” Barb said, making it to her destination, and clenched her fist in case she wanted to punch him.

Garble turned to see the purple dragoness from before glaring at him, with a marshmallow unicorn behind her. Garble noticed that the dragoness was a lot better looking than most of what he saw in the Dragon Lands, but that didn’t mean he was going to go easy on her.

“It seems that I have found you, so tell me, why did you punch me in the face!?” Garble yelled, his teeth bared at the dragoness, who didn’t even flinch in the slightest.

“Well, I punched you because of what you did to me during the dragon migration,” the dragoness answered, which confused Garble.

“What? I don’t even know you?”

“I think you do. I was the baby dragon you and your friends decided to test, and smash a phoenix egg!”

Garble was surprised at what she was saying. Yes he did do that, but it was with a dragon named Spike, and this dragoness looked nothing like Spike. Except for the purple scales, green spikes, green eyes, and the fact she hung out with ponies. It soon clicked with him, and he started to laugh in his hand, which soon turned into full blown guffawing as he fell to the ground, clutching his sides as tears began to form.

“Y-you are Spike! I-I knew you hung out with g-girly ponies! But to become one!” Garble continued to laugh as his sides hurt and he had trouble breathing. He stopped when he was out of breath and felt like he was going to pee himself. He got up to see a glaring dragoness, her entire body tense.

“Are you done?” she asked, her voice strained.

“Yes I am, now you want to say something?” Garble asked, a smile still on his face, continuing to gasp for air.

“I did; first: my name is now Barb, and second: Why are you here?”

Garble’s smile disappeared as he turned serious. “Well, you and the new princess is concerned, but how about we discuss it somewhere else?”

“Okay, we will go to my place and talk,” Barb said, she heard a cough and turned around to see Rarity looking around awkwardly.

“Would you like me to accompany you?” Rarity asked, worried that her friend might do some more harm to the red dragon. She didn’t want Barb to end up in prison if it got too serious. What she got was a shake of her head. “It’s okay, I can handle him,”

Barb turned back to Garble and said in an angry tone, “Follow me, and don’t get any ideas,” and walked away with Garble quickly following, saying something about “how moody dragonesses can be”. Rarity shook her head and sighed.

“I hope the poor dear will be alright, I’d hate to see her be taken advantage of by that ruffian,” she turned around and went back to her place.
