Luna Orders Room Service
Luna Orders Room Service
Admiral Biscuit
The landing craft settled gently to the lunar surface. The astronauts on board finished their after-landing checks, made sure their suits were properly fastened, and then made their way to the airlock.
The mission had been put together in a hurry when a strange new formation had been spotted on the moon. They hadn't been able to get a good look at it with earth-bound telescopes, so NASA had pulled a page out of its old playbook and dusted off a leftover Apollo spacecraft, and . . . well, here they were.
After drawing straws, two astronauts boarded the lunar rover and bounded across the pock-marked landscape.
When they got to the crater's edge, the two dismounted from the rover and looked down into the crater. "Is that a hotel?"
"It looks like it. How did it get here?"
SOMEWHAT EARLIER
Luna stretched out on her luxurious Queen-sized bed. Princess Celestia had convinced her to go to Bronycon, promising that it would be filled with humans who would love her . . . that hadn't been a lie. From the moment she'd set hoof in the convention hall, she'd been mobbed by eager fans who wanted to touch her, hug her, talk to her, or just watch her dreamily. She ate up the affection—never before had she been so loved by so many.
Unfortunately, unlike a changeling, she couldn't survive on love alone, so once she finally made her way back to the hotel room, she'd ordered room service. Now, with her stomach grumbling, she wondered how long it would take to arrive.
A polite knock on the door was her answer. She used her TK to pull it open and admit the server.
He hesitated on the threshold for a moment, before she beckoned him in.
He was a consummate professional. If the sight of an alicorn stretched out on the bed with her regalia strewn about surprised him, he gave no sign. He simply set the large tray with its enticing silver covers on the desk and quietly took his leave.
As the second-most-powerful magic user in all of Equestira, Luna felt no need to get out of bed. She simply lifted the plate covers, stacked them neatly, and brought over the plates one at a time, only feeling vaguely hedonistic.
When she finally reached the end of her repast, she floated over a large piece of paper which she thought was a napkin, but instead turned out to be the bill.
Her eyes went wide as she saw the total at the bottom.
How could it be that much? The sandwich shop across the tracks only charges $6.00 per sandwich. Her eyes flicked across the menu. Fifteen dollars for a salad? Plus a twenty percent delivery charge? And a thirty percent gratuity?
Her eyelid twitched, then her eyes flashed white with rage, then the Baltimore Inner Harbor Hyatt Regency Hotel was gone.

Erm, not quite sure what to say.
After those fees sending them to moon was the nicest places she could have sent it, imagine if it had been Titan!
These were quite good. . .

The most fun part is knowing exactly which "Sandwich Shop" she is talking about, on account of having been there and all that. And the Hyatt is totally the rich fancy hotel so being super gougey makes doublesense.
Okay, just how much, exactly, did you fork over for your room?
Flying to the moon in a museum piece is a terrifying thought. Wait, did no one notice when the hotel disappeared?
Glad you finally found a reason to post this.
Though, next year, to make it up to them, we should actually order the room service.
One more reason why I don't attend cons that are more than a few hour's drive away from home...
lolwat XD
Also I seem to be reading these out of order somehow. <.< How did I miss this one?

I'm not sure how you missed one. They've been in the same order since the end of October.
The room service prices at the Hyatt were outrageous. It wasn't so much the cost of the food, it was the obligatory add-ons.

Well, that does explain things. :)
Let's hope Luna doesn't learn that it is more than just the one hotel that does it.

If she does, the moon might get crowded with hotels. Good for someone who doesn't have a Hyatt membership but has one for a different chain.
