Relaxation

My legs were wrapped tight around a tree branch of the library. I was once again exercising. I couldn't take a break with Stray Wolf still running around and who knows when the next of Pandora's followers would appear. Flame looked up from the ground watching me, but also the mares. It was only a few days before every mare in Ponyville would feel the effects of heat. I could already see the start as mares would stare at me for extended periods of time. Slight blushes were covering their faces as they stared at me. They would also wag their tails back and forth like dogs. Though all the looks were for me, Flame was still uneasy. I'm not sure why, though, but being a male in a crazy sex-filled town of mares probably was never going to ease him.

"Flame calm down, mares don't go into heat for a few more days," I said

"I know that, but I just want to make sure there are no early bloomers." He said

I sighed as I leaped down from the branch. I started to hear some clapping and looked to see Rarity and Fluttershy walking up to Flam and me. Rarity was holding a bag.

"That was fabulous darling." Said Rarity

"Hey thanks," I said

"So what are you two doing here, you haven't bloomed." Said Flame

"No darling, Fluttershy and I were wondering if you wanted to join us for our annual spa trip." Said Rarity

"Why?" Asked Flame

"Well, Xavier has been training non-stop since his fight with Stray Wolf. I think he should deserve some relaxation. Not mentioning it could help you settle down, Flame." Said Rarity

"Will you please come, Xavier." Said Fluttershy

"I promise we won't do anything to you." Said Rarity

"I see no reason why not, I could use some relaxation after all my training. Come on Flame; everything will be all right," I said

"Well, as long as we aren't being taken away to some sex dungeon." Said Flame

Rarity just sighed as I threw on my shirt and coat and Flame jumped up on my shoulder, and we followed the girls.

***

We stood in front of a one-story building. On the front door was a sign that read, 'Aloe and Lotus Spa.' Rarity pushed the door open, and a small bell rang off. The scent of scented candles, massage lotions, and other scents made the room smell pleasant. We waited around till a mare came in. She had a pink coat and blue mane. She had azure eyes. She was wearing a white dress with a white headband holding back her mane. A lotus flower sat on her clothing, and she had an E-cup breast on her.

"Ah Rarity and Fluttershy, welcome back." Said the mare

"Ah, Aloe it is so happy to see you again, where is your darling sister, Lotus." Said Rarity

"She is in the back." Said Aloe

"Oh right, Aloe I'd like you to meet Xavier and Flame." Said Rarity

"Nice to meet you," I said

"Ah yes to you too. I am Aloe Blossom. I run this spa with my twin sister Lotus Blossom." Said Aloe

"Twin." Said Flame

"Aloe is that Rarity and Fluttershy." Said a new female voice

Another mare came in and man, was I seeing double. The new mare had a blue coat and pink mane. Her eyes were azure as well. She also had on the same clothing, cutie mark, and E-cup breasts Well, talk about seeing double.

"Lotus, yes Rarity and Fluttershy are here. But they have brought some friends." Said Aloe

"So you must be Lotus. Man, I didn't think you two would be identical twins," I said

"We are, now may I ask who you are?" Asked Lotus

"I'm Xavier, and this is my brother Flame," I said

"Hey." He said

"Now we will take our usual, but please add Xavier and Flame." Said Rarity

"Right away Mrs. Rarity." Said Aloe

"May I ask what you are Flame?" Asked Lotus

"I'm a Fable, a spirit animal." He said

"Quite interesting to work on a talking cat spirit." Said Lotus

"Yes, it will. Now follow us." Said Aloe

"One minute, darling I brought you something, hope you like it." Said Rarity

She handed me the bag she was carrying, and we followed Aloe and Lotus. Lotus showed me the male changing room, and I thanked her. I stepped in and pulled out a white swimsuit with my mark on the side. Rarity never stops amazing me. I changed as Flame waited for me. I pulled out a white bathrobe with my mark on the back. I chuckled a little more, and I happen to pull out a smaller version with a flame on the back.

"Flame, it seems Rarity even made you a bathrobe," I said

"She sure is generous about making clothing." He said

"Yeah, she sure is," I said

We threw on our bathrobes and walked out. We waited around, and Rarity came out in a white robe with a gold colored frill around the endings of the clothing. A gold 'R' sat on the bottom of her gown. Next was Fluttershy. She also had a white robe with purple frill. They both looked cute. Rarity face shined when she looked at Flame and me.

"Oh, you two look perfect in those robes." Said Rarity

"Thanks, Rarity and thanks for the swim trunks," I said

"No problem darling, I wasn't sure if you had one. So, I decided to make you one." Said Rarity

"Since you are all here, shall you follow me." Said Aloe

We all followed her to a back room where massages tables sat round. A couple of mud baths sat on the floor. Another path seemed to go off to more items. Last was a massive hot tube in the middle of the room.

"You hang your robes on the hooks next to the hot tube." Said Aloe

Rarity and Fluttershy took off theirs, and I started to blush. They each were wearing bikinis perfect for their bodies. Rarity was in a black bikini, while Fluttershy was a green one. I averted my gaze as not to stare any longer. I shook myself to get back as Rarity and Fluttershy were looking at me.

"You ok darling." Said Rarity

"Oh yeah, I'm all right," I said

"Oh, he sure is." Smirked Flame

I flicked his ears, and he rubbed them as he looked at me. I smirked at him before taking off mine, and he did the same. I turned to see Aloe and Lotus staring at me with blushes across their faces. I flexed my muscles, and they exploded into a dark red. I laughed as they walked away. I stepped in with the girls.

"You sure can be a tease." Said Rarity

"Oh come on, I saw you two watching my brother flex as well." Said Flame

Rarity and Fluttershy looked away as they blushed. I smiled as we all relaxed in the water. The hot water felt amazing on my sore muscles. I dipped further and further into the water.

"Xavier, can I ask you a question." Said Fluttershy

"Sure Fluttershy," I said

"Do human women go into heat?" Asked Fluttershy

"I was wondering that too." Said Rarity

"Human women don't go into heat. They go into what's called a period. It happens about every month for them. They get short bursts of different feelings. The reason is that they get a rush of hormones because they bleed away the eggs they don't use," I said

"So women in your world just suffer from exposing eggs for that month. So that means they don't get sex crazy and don't desire a male to have sex with them." Said Rarity

"That's right. The only bad thing that can come from a period is the mood swings a girl gets," I said

"So Flame, what about female Fable cats." Said Fluttershy

"Well, I'm not too sure as I don't remember my past till my I was found by Xavier's mother. So I can't tell you about the female cat race." Said Flame

"Do you know Xavier?" Asked Fluttershy

"I think if I remember my mother talking about it. I believe Fable female cats go through a week heat every spring," I said

"Hmm, interesting." Said Fluttershy

The girls talked while I relaxed with Flame floating around. After a while, Aloe came back, and we dried off. She took us over to the tables. Lotus came over, and Aloe got to work on the girls. Lotus was on Flame and me, but I gestured her to work on Flame first. I just watched as Flame turned to putty in her hands. He purred away as Lotus kept working on him. I laughed as Flame continued to act like an actual cat.

"He sure is a cat." Said Lotus

"It would seem that your hands are making him revert to his cat state," I said

She giggled till she finished up with him. I sat down as she started to run her hands across my skin. Oh crap, this is perfect. Her hands found each knot in my body. I sighed as Lotus ultimately made me feel like a new man. The massage was so great after training for so long that it started to put me to sleep.

***

I woke to something poking me. I opened my eyes to see Lotus's smiling face. I yawned as I got up and started to stretch out.

"Lotus, you sure know how to put someone to sleep," I said

"Thank you, Xavier." She said

I walked back and got dressed. I went back to the main room to see the others.

"Have a nice nap." Said Flame

"Sure did, you seemed to enjoy yours with all the cat noises you were making," I said

He blushed as he rubbed the back of his neck. I laughed at his misery and told him to get up. We all thanked Aloe and Lotus, and they were also kind enough to keep my swim trunks and robes for Flame and me. I was about to exit when Aloe spoke up.

"Xavier, never be afraid to come over. We are more than happy to loosen you up." Said Aloe

"Thanks, Aloe and I'll think about that offer," I said

We all left, but both girls said their goodbyes and left. I walked down the road to the library. I needed to start to pack my bag to get ready for the heat cycle. As I was walking back to the library, I passed the train station. I happen to look to see Big Mac loading up suitcases onto the train. There were plenty of stallions getting on the train. I knew I was one of the few stallions who was going to ride out the storm, here in Ponyville. I decided to walk up and see if I could give him a hand. I walked up to him.

"Hey Mac, could you use a hand?" I asked

He looked up and smiled, "Eeyup."

"I see your still a man of few words," I said

"Eeyup." He said

Flame jumped off my shoulder as I helped Mc pack up his bags into the train. Once we finished, he gave me a bro hug. I wasn't too sure why, but maybe it was for good luck.

"I hope my sister is good tah ya." Said Mac

"Please Applejack, and I will get along just fine. I hear she can control her heat just fine with work," I said

"True, partner. Well, I wish you best of luck riding out the storm of heat here. You got bigger balls than most stallions in Equestria." Said, Big Mac

"Ha, thanks, Mac and see you when you get back," I said

He brought our hands together before hugging it out. He got on the train, and Flame got back on my shoulder. We watched as the train left the station. I waved goodbye to the Apple family as they left on the train. I turned around and went back to the library. I watched the mares as they shook their hands at me with blushes coming across their faces and wagging tails. Flame ignored them just as I did. I made it back to the library and opened the door. I walked in and closed the door. I took off my shoes as Twilight came in from the kitchen.

"I saw you head out with Rarity and Fluttershy. Did you enjoy the spa sisters?" Said Twilight

"Yeah, they were great," I said

"Aloe and Lotus are the best at what they do." Said Twilight

We laughed before entering the kitchen for the last few times before I would be off at Applejack's farm to weather the storm of my first heat cycle here in Equestria. But something in my gut was telling me this heat cycle was going to be the start of something I never thought would happen to me.
