Aquaria grabbed an omlet, some pancakes, and coffee and sat down at a table. "Couldnt sleep at all last night and now I'm really tired...maybe coffee can help me stay awake" Aquaris said as he took a drink of the coffee. "Bitter taste...but I guess it will do" Aquaria said as he started eating.

Ocean smiled, held out her own chilly hoof (Chilly as in yes...its coldish) and shook Evergreen's. "Ocean Wind, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance." She said, withdrawing her hoof. "So I am assuming you won the sweepstakes as well ?" She asked, glancing out a nearby window at the busy street outside.

Eve nodded, rather polite in response. "It was unexpected, but yes, I won. Cliff and Percussive are here as sweepstakes winners as well." She gestured towards Cliff, whom she had noticed slip into the back corner of the room, looking woebegone, and Percussive, who sat behind her. She tried very hard to not look at the stallion behind her as she pointed him out, and a faint pink tinge appeared around her cheekbones for a quarter second before disappearing. 

 

Attempting to play away her embarrassment, she said, "I don't know who else won, but there were supposed to be ten of us, I think."

 

The Star Rose she wore behind her ear had not entirely regained its cheerful luster from the previous morning, and although it was no longer horribly wilted, it still had a rather dull look to its shine, and still hid, not willing to come forth in a blossom.

"I'm from Manehattan originally, but I haven't lived there since I was really young. I live in this gigantic garden near the Everfree Forest, and I collect plants from all around the world there..." She drooped slightly. "Shame there's no plants for me to collect here. Haygas is a filthy cesspool in the middle of the desert."

Milly woke up from a announcement talking about a tour "Ugh" Milly said as she was getting up still half asleep. Milly got ready and started to walk to the hotel lobby she looked over at Dox's door wondering if he was still sleeping or not. Milly kept walking and got to the elevators, she got down to the lobby and saw most of the ponies were there

After three cups of tea, a bit of nibbled toast, and plenty of ice water, Cliff felt his headache recede, if only marginally. He checked his reflection in the back of a spoon, fluffed his mane briefly, and heard his name being called. There was that snooty little filly who had bumped into him earlier, and...Eve. Who was looking at another pony with more than a bit of a blush on her face.

 

What the hay.

 

Cliff plunked himself down next to a pony with a dark green mane, the object of Eve’s unsettled glances. He was remarkably average looking, except for a drumsticks cutie mark, but other then that, nothing special. “Hey,” He said, as cheerfully as he could muster. “You part of the sweepstakes too? Sweet.” Cliff arched his back, flexing his strong haunches, and heard several satisfactory cracks. “I got started on whole Las Haygus scene a little early yesterday,” He grinned mischievously.

 

“So how do you like Las Haygus so far? Oh, I’m Cliff by the way. Cliff Chaser. And you are?”

Dox heard the call and groaned, pulling the covers over his head. He was not a morning pony. He and Milly had stayed up waaaay too late. They had ordered a bit of room service... talked for a while... he remembered her daring him to drink some alcohol from the minibar... god, so this must be what a hangover felt like. He groaned again, rolled out of bed, took a quick shower, and headed down to the cafe. He saw Milly there and headed toward her.

Para heard the announcement, but didn't react to it. She stayed under her covers. Maybe she could just, not go out today. Into the big, scary city. Maybe she could just, stay in her room? Safe from the scary ponies outside. Infact, she could just stay in the whole week. No. She would have to eat. She still hid though. She wasn't leaving the room anytime soon.

“So how do you like Las Haygus so far? Oh, I’m Cliff by the way. Cliff Chaser. And you are?”

 

Percussive jumped a little, seeing this new stallion pop up out of nowhere, nearly choking on his omelet. Who was he? Oh right... the stallion that was with Eve last night...

 

"Well, to answer all of your questions...

Yes, I'm part of the sweepstakes, it looks like you're a total mess, and Las Haygas is pretty cool so far. And I'm Percussive Force. Percuss for short."

[PinkieShyFlutterPie 408]

Milly was sitting down almost falling asleep when she saw Dox "Hey Dox!" Milly said a little tiredly but happily "Whats up? Are you as tired as i am?" Milly said thinking about how they both stayed up way to late "So today we are going to the Hoofer Dam...i wonder how that will be" Milly said hoping today would be a good day.

Cliff laughed, his voice more than a bit rough from last night's partying, although it's deep tone still remained. "Yeah, I do look like hay, don't I?" He leaned back in the chair, tipping the back legs backward, and winked at Percussive. "Believe me, Las Hayguys is more than pretty cool, it's awesome."

 

Little flickers of memory came back to him - singing karaoke at the bar last night, laughing hysterically with some skinny filly who spoke with a thick Canterlot drawl. Satisfied, Cliff let his gaze drag across the room until he fell upon Eve. She looked a lot better, now that she was washed up, although he couldn't help but wonder if she still smelled like roses. He had gotten a bit of mud on his wing last night when they parted, and had wiped it off his feathers before leaving ruefully.

 

He leaned forward, raising his eyebrows. "Hey, do you and, um, what's her name? Oh yeah, Eve. Do you guys have something going on? She keeps looking over at you...And, I mean, if you do, then that's great, but if you don't..." His question hung in the air, open ended, and seemed completely lazy and at ease with himself.

Oh dear... He's going into this now. Why must he say it?

 

"Well...", Percussive started off. "We... known each other for a while. I was surprised that she was entering this contest... And... well... we dated in the past. Pretty serious too. But, we kinda.. fell through... And she's extremely pissed at me."

 

"But, I don't think it's a good idea for you to try and ask her out. She's still pretty distraught.", he quickly added, hushing his voice so Eve wouldn't be in earshot. Why was he saying this? He just wanted to try and get back with her... To make amends...

((I am editing something into Ocean's Bio...its nothing important, I am just changing where she is from..kinda.))

 

Ocean nodded. "I kinda know how you feel. Its sandy and gross. I live outside of Canterlot on a big lake that actually moves into Ponyville. I have ventured down a couple times but the most exciting thing would be a giant thing that looks almost like a sand castle...no matter. I own a potion shop in Canterlot...I don't get allot of business but I get enough to live...so that's nice." She said.

"Ah, it's complicated," Cliff smirked. "I know how that is. Okay, that's cool. Hope you guys work things out." He certainly did know how it was to be complicated. Several of the mares he had, er, well, spent some time with, had become unnaturally possessive afterwards, and it was hard to get them off him without breaking their hearts. Complicated relationships were somewhat par for the course, at least for Cliff.

 

It was a shame though. Cliff glanced back at Eve. She really was a pretty little filly. He blinked, getting over a bit of nostalgia with barely a moment. "So, what's up for today? Hoofer Dam? Man, I'd really rather stay here and go cloud surfing. Or sky swimming. I heard this place has a great aerial workout room."

Eve smiled. "It must be nice living on the lake. Although I doubt I could ever give up my garden..." Her ears perked as she heard her name, and her head whirled around to stare at Percussive, who was talking to Cliff from last night. She peered at them suspiciously for several seconds before turning back around to Ocean, sighing. "Sorry about that."

"Thanks...", Percussive merely said, glad that he would actually buy the lie. "Yeah, the Hoofer Dam. I mean, there's nothing bad about it, to be honest. I mean, it's not anything like the Seven Greatest Wonders of the World, but it's still pretty interesting, to be honest..."

"Aw. That's a shame. Maybe I could come over and give them a little encouragement sometime." Eve gave a small, shy smile, and for the first time since she arrived in Las Haygas the Star Rose opened its petals tentatively, nervously, but sensing the kind of peace Eve always felt around flora.

Ocean nodded. "That would be wonderful. I have a few potions that you may be interested in. If you use them on the seeds before planting them they can make the flowers do really pretty things...I made one a while ago that made the flower change colors...I have a customer who grows flowers and she uses them allot." She said, smiling. After a minute she realized that Eve may think that potions would hurt the flowers. "It doesn't hurt them or anything...allot of the ingredients I use are all natural and can sometimes be quite good for you...you could probably drink the potion...only problem is you might start changing colors." She giggled.

Aquaris finished off his food and coffee and cleaned up his mess so the waiters dont have to clean up after him. "When did they say the tour was again" Aquaris said to himself he headed to the bar to get a drink. "water please" Aquaris ordered as the waiter came by.

She hoofed the stem of the floral gem she wore behind her ear absentmindedly, now lost in thought.

Ocean nodded and chuckled slightly. "I have written the recipe down somewhere back at my house so if you give me a few days, I will be able to find it." She said, laughing. The funny part is, it probably would take her days to find her recipe book...It was most likely under buried all the other books in her house. "I mean...I could just write it down I suppose."

"Hey, Milly." He smiled back. "Not much, just getting some breakfast. And yes, I am VERY tired and suffering from chronic hangoveritis, which YOU..." He poked her, smiling, "Are the culprit and mastermind behind. I still don't know how you got me to drink that bottle of tequila, I don't even LIKE alcohol!" He rubbed his forehead but still smiled. "Ah, yes, Hoofer Dam... I bet it'll be rather boring, lots of water being held by a large concrete wall. But still, part of the tour, so... might as well go." He sat next to her and ordered a coffee and some hash browns.

Vaas walked to a table ordered his coffee and waited for it to arrive, when he slowly started to fall asleep. Right as he was about to pass out he could smell his coffee. "Why make this tour at ten, why not two or three?" Taking a sip of his coffee, he kept his eyes closed taking another sip and thinking about what the tour could be about.
