So are you saying that
reservations(:single) == reservations(:cancelled) ==
reservations(:surprised) == []

When you print each of them out, that's what you see?

Well, a lot of stuff has happened since then :)  However, I'm not sure
what your problem is still so I can't tell you that it's been fixed
since then.  It sounds to me like you're saying reservations(:single)
returns a Reservation object in one test, but [] in this one.  Is that
accurate?
