Anna stood in quiet contemplation for a few minutes before remembering that she was standing awkwardly on the beach with her head held high. She glanced around to make sure none of the other tourists were looking at her strangely. Satisfied that none or few were giving her weird looks, she let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't too concerned about appearances, though having good ones didn't hurt either.
Suddenly remembering that she was still carrying her two bags of luggage, she set off towards what she assumed to be the resort. It was the only building that carved its path upwards through the sky as far as she could see. Surely it was the place -- why else would they have dropped them off here if it wasn't? As she trotted happily towards the structure, she looked all around. Ponies were lounging in the sun, foals were hopping about in the sea as they splashed at each other, a game of volleyball was getting rather heated, two sandcastles had been erected and the creators were debating over property rights as the sea reclaimed both their constructs. She snickered to herself, I wish I could have gone to the beach when I was younger. It looks like so much fun...
A short period of time later and she found herself at the base of the imposing glass and brick building. It must have been ten stories high, though she couldn't make out exactly how many from where she stood. The inside was equally as impressive and inviting. Beautiful marble floors shone brightly and a ragtime piano rolled out a smile-worthy tune from the expensive-looking and well-packed dining hall to her right. A massive crystal chandelier seemed to dance to the tune above her as light refracted through it, dazzling the floor with a beautiful display. She nearly spun in circles as she tried to take it all in, but a voice caught her attention.
"Excuse me, do you require any assistance, miss?"
Turning her attention to the desk clerk, she smiled politely, "Yes, actually, I'm looking for my room."
"Alright, may I see your identification?"
Anna nodded as she fumbled in her saddlebag for her ticket. She finally procured it and slid it across the desk to the mare, who took it and matched the number to the room key before setting both on the desk in front of her.
"Your room is on the second floor -- room 251. It'll be halfway down the hallway on the right after you exit the elevator," the mare said as she pointed in the direction of the elevators, "and have a pleasant stay!"
Anna nodded once more and took the key and ticket in her mouth before heading off towards the elevators, a spring in her step from the energetic music that filled the lobby.
