"I'll tell you what gives. It's that the 'stallions only' trip is kind of insulting to me." Night Jewel shook her head. "And that's not helped by the fact that you're messing up our plans. If we find a mare for Sandy only to have you drag him off, she's going to be left behind. I think broadening your definition of 'stallion' could fix both of those problems."

"Oh? Sandy is looking for mare? Perhaps I could play wingstallion for him while in Fillydephia." suggested Grills. "Sandy can handle a long term relationship"

"Oh shush Night Jewel, let them have their stallion's night out, we'll have our filly's night out...invite that cute Yellow Pepper while we're at it," She said through the steam fog and between kisses on her Silverpine.

"And anyway, think of this as a test, even if we do find Sandy a mate, seeing how she behaves to him being gone for a day the next day, can help determine if she's a good mate for Sandy.

"Won't be a good sign if she turns out to be needy clingy mare towards a stallion she just knew for less than a day."

"Oh. The clingy types are the worst. I remember it's one of.. filly." Hr shuddered and shivered. "Besides separation make the heart grow fonder."

[TheAmishPirate]

The stallion in question was currently out of sight, save for a tuft of sandy-brown mane just barely breaching the surface of the springs. The rest of the pony was under the water, holding his breath for as long as he could, and hoping that'd be enough time for everypony to magically forget the whole thing.

"Oh? Sandy is looking for mare? Perhaps I could play wingstallion for him while in Fillydephia." suggested Grills. "Sandy can handle a long term relationship"

"That's a little besides the point."

"Oh shush Night Jewel, let them have their stallion's night out, we'll have our filly's night out...invite that cute Yellow Pepper while we're at it," She said through the steam fog and between kisses on her Silverpine.

"Won't be a good sign if she turns out to be needy clingy mare towards a stallion she just knew for less than a day."

"Now that's an idea I can get behind! While they're off doing their thing, we have some fun of our own. And I guess it fits, since I had that little adventure with Silverpine." Night Jewel was regaining her spirit, although she still wasn't pleased at being left out.

[Grif]

"What exactly were ya dreamin' about that involved me?" She smiled and nuzzled in return, feeling so good from her massage earlier and being here in her wet coltfriend's legs in the steamy goodness.


"Hold on mistah Grills, having some flirting time with my coltfriend," She called out through the steamy fog.

Silverpine grinned cheekily and leaned close to whisper naughty, naughty things into Gearstride's ears.

"Now, I wonder where do I fit in all this..." Silverpine mused.

[Benson]

Silverpine grinned cheekily and leaned close to whisper naughty, naughty things into Gearstride's ears.

"Now, I wonder where do I fit in all this..." Silverpine mused.

Gearstride initially turned red at Silverpine rather forward whisperings. "Haha...oh...boy....is it me....or is...ah...it getting hot in here...." Being a hot bath, it could be translated into as literal or not.

"A-anyways, you could..ah..join the boys on their outing, he did say Sandy could bring friend.."

[Orzel]

An idea popped into mind. Grills stood on his haunches and pointed skyward. "Perfect. The ladies have a day out. And the men have a day at the Goofball game. Haha perfect. Almost anyway. But it is great!"

[Grif]

"Sounds like a plan," Silverpine said, after thinking it over for a moment.

[Benson]

"Sounds like a plan," Silverpine said, after thinking it over for a moment.

"Well there we go.....its all settled....now....let's uh finish our spa fun time, get our Sandy ready for the ladies," Gearstride said after finally getting her red cheeks back to normal.

[Grif]

"Well there we go.....its all settled....now....let's uh finish our spa fun time, get our Sandy ready for the ladies," Gearstride said after finally getting her red cheeks back to normal.

"That we shall," Silverpine replied, before wrapping a wing around Gearstride with a grin. And so they did.

[Benson]

"That we shall," Silverpine replied, before wrapping a wing around Gearstride with a grin. And so they did.

"That's..not..what I meant bu---" Her words were soon swallowed up by Silverpine's affections and kisses. HPK in semi public for all to see, and the moment was good.

[TheAmishPirate]

"That's..not..what I meant bu---" Her words were soon swallowed up by Silverpine's affections and kisses. HPK in semi public for all to see, and the moment was good.

Sandy surfaced right next to the smooching couple, gasping for air. He turned, and got a eyefull of HPK for his trouble. Without another word, he dove back into the springs.

*****************************

[Many spa treatments, cleanings up, and massages later]

After his final treatment, Sandy was on his way to the front lobby when he stopped his attendant. "Er, hate t'be a bother an' all, but where's the bathroom? I gotta go." The pony pointed to a door off to the side. "Thanks! I won't be a minute." He trotted off to the men's room and shut the door behind him.

[A few minutes later]

A window opened on the outside of the spa, and a blue, sandy-maned head poked out, checking to see if the coast was clear. Satisfied he wasn't about to be discovered, the little pony started climbing out the window. Desperate? Maybe. But it was perhaps his last chance of salvation from his friend's date-related machinations.

[Mystic Muse]

And Eventually, Beautiful Nightmare (Disguised as Smoothie) and Spark reached the Grill. "Well, we're here, handsome. Why don't you lead the way?" she asks Spark.

[Benson]

Grills' Spa and Grill-Spa Area Upstairs

Gearstride stretched and groaned, her whole body felt good, it was a great package,she particularly liked that bonus HPK, her lips got a great massage too!

"Mmm....groan......where's Sandy? Time to get a speed datin'," She asked her two companions here, Night Jewel and Silverpine.



Grills' Spa and Grills-Restaurant Area Downstairs

Spark lead the way and walked into the restaurant, he then walked up to the host/hostess. "Uh, uhm, table for two, please."

"Well, he said he had to use the bathroom..." Night Jewel considered for a bit. "Of course, he could have been using it as an excuse to scarper. Given his attitude before, it wouldn't surprise me too much. Whatever the case, I'm actually kind of proud of him. Not only did he stand up for himself, but he pulled off something sneaky. If I find him, I'm going to give him a hug."

Then her mood dampened. "Say, do you think we used a little too much force? We did pressure him quite a lot."

[Orzel]

Grills' Spa and Grills-Restaurant Area Downstairs

Spark lead the way and walked into the restaurant, he then walked up to the host/hostess. "Uh, uhm, table for two, please."

Green sat at his podium and called over his youngest sister, a little filly with a mane of all colors. "Please escort this couple to table 4."

The little filly nods and takes two menus in mouth. Rainbow Pepper then trots slowly to a table over by the window at a slow pace. "I will give you time to think of your orders."

[Benson]

Then her mood dampened. "Say, do you think we used a little too much force? We did pressure him quite a lot."

"What? No...of course not. He's much too busy being...well himself to realize he needs this, but watch, just watch, he'll be thanking us later if even begrudgingly," She nodded, self assured in this.

"Alright, thank you Miss," Spark gave her a smile and sat down at the table. He then looked over the menu, particularly the drinks. It then dawned that he hoped he had enough money for this. He did have a moderately decent savings from his farm work and errand running...yea...he could cover this.

[Grif]

"I don't know... are we bein' too hard on the little guy?" Silverpine said, frowning a little. "Though I'm sure he'll appreciate it one day."

[Benson]

"Yea, well, let's go get the little guy, hi ho!...Silverpine, you're a stallion, go check out the bathroom," Gear directed.

[Grif]

"Yea, well, let's go get the little guy, hi ho!...Silverpine, you're a stallion, go check out the bathroom," Gear directed.

"Fine. Fine." Silverpine shrugged and trotted into the bathroom. He would check the bathroom doors one at a time, until he came to the presumably locked cubicle that Sandy was trying to climb out to a window to. "Sandy, you in there?" he yelled, rapping on the door.

[TheAmishPirate]

"Fine. Fine." Silverpine shrugged and trotted into the bathroom. He would check the bathroom doors one at a time, until he came to the presumably locked cubicle that Sandy was trying to climb out to a window to. "Sandy, you in there?" he yelled, rapping on the door.

There'd be no reply. The pony in question was hanging from the open window, wondering just how far a drop this was, and how much it would hurt if he landed on the street, and if it was really worth it. Would this dating thing really be that bad?

...without a second thought, the little stallion let go, landing in a bush below with a light *poomf*

Silverpine may not have heard the light sounds Sandy made as he landed, but he certainly pricked his ears in suspicion when there was no answer. He quickly scanned through the rest of the stalls, which were all empty. Then he turned back and with earth pony's gusto, bucked the door down.

"Oh no you don't, Sandy!" Silverpine called, as he scrambled up to the window. "Come back here!"

Sandy emerged from the bushes with his coat positively immaculate. Huh. I guess that shampoo weren't kiddin' around when it said it'd keep dirt of for two hours after use... And then he heard Silverpine's shout from the window; the game was up. The little stallion took off running towards a group of nearby house, calling back behind him, "Sorry! We'll do somethin' later! I had fun at the spa though!"

The ponies out front might hear the commotion.

[Mystic Muse]

"Alright, thank you Miss," Spark gave her a smile and sat down at the table. He then looked over the menu, particularly the drinks. It then dawned that he hoped he had enough money for this. He did have a moderately decent savings from his farm work and errand running...yea...he could cover this.

"Thank you Miss." Beautiful Nightmare said. She sat down at the table, opposite Spark's side, and began looking at the menu as well. Not much here she cared for, though the vegetable skewers sounded good, as did a pop of some sort.

[Benson]

Gear and Night Jewel-Spa-second floor

After some undisclosed amount of time. "Hmm....why do I get the odd feeling you may have been right earlier about him sneaking off?" She glanced at Night Jewel and then at the fourth wall. "Come on let's go...!"

"Well actually, you have to go on, I gotta go pay for all this." She skidded to a stop.

Gwynfillion and Garion- Restaurant- Ground Floor

And soon Gwynfillion and Garion arrived in their travel wagon at the side of the building.
========

"Thank you Miss." Beautiful Nightmare said. She sat down at the table, opposite Spark's side, and began looking at the menu as well. Not much here she cared for, though the vegetable skewers sounded good, as did a pop of some sort.

"Kinda like before eh?...I mean...on our fake date with the nice elder mare who was our waitress. I thought she was nice...even if she did ask embarrassing questions....well embarrassing questions at the time." He mused as he looked over the menu.

[Mystic Muse]

"Kinda like before eh?...I mean...on our fake date with the nice elder mare who was our waitress. I thought she was nice...even if she did ask embarrassing questions....well embarrassing questions at the time." He mused as he looked over the menu.

"Yeah, kinda. Though, I think you probably jynxed it, and she'll show up again." Beautiful Nightmare guesses, as she looks over the menu a little more. "What sounds good to you?" she asked him.

[Benson]

"Yeah, kinda. Though, I think you probably jynxed it, and she'll show up again." Beautiful Nightmare guesses, as she looks over the menu a little more. "What sounds good to you?" she asked him.

"Mmm...the three cheese veggie penne sounds good....hmmm..when our server pops up, I'll think I'll ask 'em about the chef's special...there is usually one of those," He said looking at the lovely images of the food, mouth salivating.

[PurityIcekiller]

After some undisclosed amount of time. "Hmm....why do I get the odd feeling you may have been right earlier about him sneaking off?" She glanced at Night Jewel and then at the fourth wall. "Come on let's go...!"

"Well actually, you have to go on, I gotta go pay for all this." She skidded to a stop.

"Hold on. I said I'd pay earlier, didn't I? I'll handle this." Night Jewel smiled and retrieved her pouch of diamonds. "Go on. I'll catch up with you."

[Benson]

"Hold on. I said I'd pay earlier, didn't I? I'll handle this." Night Jewel smiled and retrieved her pouch of diamonds. "Go on. I'll catch up with you."

"Alright, thanks Night Jewel," She flashed her a smile and took to a canter down the stairs and out. "I'mnotarunanddashmyfriendisgoingtopayforitbye ." She said to the Pepper family employees she may have passed on the way out. She zipped past a plum mare and her son accidentally kicking dust their way. "SorryMiss...!" And bounded around the corner.

[Mystic Muse]

"Mmm...the three cheese veggie penne sounds good....hmmm..when our server pops up, I'll think I'll ask 'em about the chef's special...there is usually one of those," He said looking at the lovely images of the food, mouth salivating.

"Alright. I'll wait until then to decide on anything too." That did sound a little good to her, but she wanted to know about the special too.

The magenta filly scurries over and places a paper pad on the table. She puts a red pencil from her mouth for writing."Okay. Are you ready to place your our orders? The drink of the day is mango lemonade. Oh. And the dish of the day is.... Umm... grilled sesame tofu nuggets in brown sauce."
