On Tap heard the sounds in her beach side bar change. The music from the speakers continued to boom out but the normally rambunctious sounds of ponies drinking, eating, and chatting in the Gulls Rest became a murmur.

     Looking up from beneath the bar the barmare's eyes immediately identified the reason for the change in the bar's mood. Entering her establishment was 2 mares. Both were wearing bikinis which were almost standard issue uniform for mares visiting her bar. 

     One was a pale ivory unicorn mare with deep violet mane and tail who's emerald green eyes methodically swept the establishment and it occupants. She was very easy on the eyes, but it wasn't her, or her little black bikini, that had brought all conversations to a halt. It was her companion that had their left arm around her waist. 

      Walking into On Tap's little beach side bar was none other than Twilight Sparkle. The Princess of Friendship.  Like her companion the mauve alicorn was wearing a rather revealing black bikini. Twilight's companion might've been constantly scanning the crowd, but she wore an easy, relaxed expression. Twilight was smiling to, but the barmare recognized it as being the smile that  business executives, politicians, and entertainers could turn on when needed.  There was a uncertainty in her eyes.

    Twilight walked up to the bar, whose current occupants immediately cleared a space for the princess, and smiled at On Tap. 

    "Good evening!" She said maybe a little bit too loudly. "Could I get a Griffin's Revelry please?"

    "And I'll have a Tsunami please." Said Twilight's partner. 

    On Tap had run the Gulls Rest for 20 years so without a moment of hesitation she replied. "Griffin's Revelry and Tsunami. Let me get those for you your Highness!" 

     Then the pegasus mare started making the drinks. Fortunately the rest of her staff after moment of stunned recognition started taking care of the rest of patrons so On Tap could focus on her task. In couple minutes she had created two elaborate, frosty drinks. With practiced ease she passed them over. 

    "Your highness! Here's your Griffin's Revelry, and here's your friend Tsunami! Enjoy!"

     Twilight smiled "Thank you." The princess's companion grinned. "Much appreciated." She looked over at the princess and took a long sip through the straw."

     The Princess looked in her companion's eyes and nodded her head. Suddenly the alicorn's horn burst forth with with violet light and then settled down to a steady, constant glow. The music from the speakers stopped, the laughter of the patrons ceased, the beer being flowing from the tap froze in midair. Everypony now were dead still except for Twilight and her companion.  The princess looked at her companion and spoke.

     "Well Page Turner. If we're going to do this stunt let's do it now! This spell will only last a couple of minutes!"

     The unicorn smiled and stepped away from the princess as she pulled her phone from the fanny pack she wore around her waist. As she did this Twilight quickly started removing her bikini. All the while muttering under her breath. 

      "I can't believe I'm doing this! Stupid, silly dare!" She grimaced at Page Turner. "Understand you're the only pony who I would ever consider doing something this scandalous with!"

       The unicorn grinned. "Ah Twilly! You were as turned on by this as I was when we were talking about it in bed this morning. So smile for the camera now!" 

      With that Twilight's prime Mare-in-Waiting and lover snapped several of pictures with her phone then put it away. Quickly the alicorn started putting on her bikini again. Page Turner came sauntering over to Twilight. As alicorn finished adjusting the suit she leaned forward and gave her a quick, deep kiss. Page Turner felt her relax.

     "Now your highness. Lets enjoy our drinks and the evening!" And then the spell ended and suddenly in a flash and everything was back to normal.

      On Tap smiled. The princess no longer had that forced, professional smile. In its place was natural, relaxed grin. The barmare nodded her head. That was the look of somepony letting go of their worries, even if for just a little while, and enjoying a night in her bar!
