//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 - Twilight and Rarity discover that yes, ghost sex is possible // Story: The Enchanted Library: The Secret Chapters // by garatheauthor //------------------------------// Rarity stumbled and tripped over her own hooves, gliding through the air briefly before falling against a nearby bookshelf. The structure rattled under the impact before a load of books fell off, careening straight for Rarity’s beautiful face. So, this is how it ends, bludgeoned to death by a bukkake of literature… A scream of terror was ripped from her lips, echoing through the library. Yet, mere moments before a load of knowledge tarnished her complexion, her imminent demise was stopped cold as a lavender aura encased the books. Well, nearly all the books. Sadly, one made it through the magical netting and bonked her in the middle of her forehead before falling to the floor with a loud thud. Rarity rubbed her temple as she watched Twilight’s magic shelve the books back into place. A moment later, the alicorn whipped around the corner, rushing straight for Rarity. “Are you ok?” she yelped. “Yes darling, I’m perfectly…” Twilight picked up the book that had fallen on the floor and frantically began to search it for any damage. She breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank the gods, you’re ok.” Her face instantly paled and she looked up at Rarity before promptly shoving the offending book behind her back. “Err… I mean? Are you ok, Rarity?” She let out this wonderfully embarrassed chuckle. Rarity sighed. “Yes dear, nothing more than a little goosebump, if anything.” “That’s good to hear,” Twilight said, placing the book back where it belonged. She then focused on Rarity, using her magic to caress her face and turn it from side to side. “I don’t see any signs of a concussion,” she murmured. “Thankfully it was only a couple hundred pages.  You’d be a goner if one of those encyclopedias hit you.” Rarity snorted. “Would I now?” “Without a doubt,” Twilight answered nonchalantly. “That’s how Moondancer died.” “Err… Pardon?” “Poor girl took a copy of Encyclopedia Equestria right to the back of her skull. She was gone before she even hit the ground.” Twilight let go of Rarity’s face and patted her on the top of the head. “Crying shame, it meant that I no longer had to share Celestia with anypony.” She blinked. “Err… I mean, it meant I no longer had someone to spend time with that was also tutoring under Celestia.” “Of course,” Rarity muttered before something clicked. “Wait… did you just touch me with your magic?” “Uh, yeah? Why?” “I didn’t realize you could do that?” Twilight smirked and gently ran a small imprint of telekinesis across Rarity’s cheek. It felt a little strange but at the same time, it was also oddly intimate. It might not have been a hoof, or a pair of lips, but it was still the tender touch of her lover. How had Rarity never realized this before? Her own magic wrapped around the little imprint, the two auras intermingling together, a duo of colours dancing around one another. Twilight’s face brightened. “Do you know what this means?” Rarity asked. Twilight nodded. “I think so?” “Twilight we can…” “Finally have a means of holding onto one another,” Twilight whispered. “Like holding hooves.” “We can have ghost sex!” Rarity blurted out at the exact same time. The two of them deadpanned and looked one another in the face. Rarity’s cheeks warmed. “I mean yes… we can… hold onto one another.” “I’ve never had sex before,” Twilight whispered. “No, no, no,” Rarity pleaded, waving her hoof. “Don’t think anything of my statement. I just… I uh… I had a momentary case of the vapours, nothing more.” “I don’t even own a pottery wheel…” “That’s perfectly fine, dar-” Rarity paused. “Uh… what?” “Don’t you need one?” “Why would you…” “It was a plot in one of the books you lent me. I thought pottery wheels were very important to act of uh… fornicating.” “Twilight, how are you this well-read but have no idea what sex is?” “LOOK! Celestia said I would learn about it when I was older and well… by the time I grew up, we were at war with Discord and I didn’t exactly stock up on a whole lot of biology books!” Rarity pursed her lips. “Well this simply will not do, darling. If you do not have the proper literature to educate yourself…” Her lips curled into a coy little smile. “Then I will simply have to teach you myself.” “Rarity I hardly think that you’re a qualified teach-” Twilight stopped as she noticed Rarity’s brow inch upwards, realization dawning on her soon after. “Ohhhhh! You wanna like… do the… sex.” “Yes dear,” Rarity chuckled. “I want to do the sex.” “Then let’s… do that.” “Let’s.”
