Come To The Spa, They Said (Tack Visit)
Forest Feather went out to his mailbox after he saw a rather odd looking gray and blonde mailmare fly away from it. It was still fairly early in the morning. However he'd taken the time to set up a new service: Write In Appointments! This way customers could mail him requests for a grooming or massage and he could get them marked on his calendar. It was something he'd not tried before relying primarily on scheduled regulars and walk-ins, but he felt he had to try new things with Feathers and Rest. Stepping out the door he found a couple of requests in his mailbox. Quickly Feather ripped them open, and scanned them. One in particular stood out; it was rather dusty paper and the writing was a bit tough to read, but it was for a stallion named 'Tack' and he was looking for a massage. Right… Oh dear. Right now. Feather glanced down the road in both directions and spotted a pony in the distance. He'd be here any moment! Quickly the stallion leapt back into the spa, gave it a quick glance over, and settled behind the counter just as the doorbell jingled open. Before him was a dusty brown earth pony with red mane and tail, and he was a very large pony too. Feather couldn't be sure he'd ever seen a stallion bigger. He also looked quite muscular, which if he wanted a massage could make it a slight challenge. This ran through his head an instant before he opened his muzzle and greeted the new customer. "Hi there! I'm Forest Feather, owner of Feathers and Rest here. Would you by chance be Tack here for a massage appointment?" "Yup. Got my appointment?" "Just now! If you're still interested in just a massage, we can get started right away. Follow me!"
