“Ask nicely and I’ll let you peek at the results”, I said

“Twilight, I don’t need your stupid tests to know I’m good with magic.”

“Beg me to show you the results. I know, you’re dying to see them.”

“I don’t care about the results.” She turned her head away. “Look at them yourself.”

“Do it!” I lifted my scepter in front of her eyes.

She sighed. “Fine, let’s see them.”

“Nicer!”

“Oh, Twilight, would you please show me the results?”

“You’re desperate for knowledge, aren’t you?”

She rolled her eyes.

“Aren’t you?” I waved my scepter left and right in front of her eyes.

“Oh, how I crave for useless knowledge. I so wish to see those damned results.”

“You do, don’t you? Oh, I know you do. You want it badly!”

“Oh, yes. The possibility of not knowing that useless information is ripping me apart from the inside. Won’t you please show me the results, oh, Twilight?” She sighed.

“Do you think you deserve to see them?”

“Well of course I do. I’m the one you electrocuted to get them.”

“Yes, but I did all the work.”

“It fucking hurt!”

“You just hung around there, feeling sorry for yourself. I’m glad you snapped out of it and replaced self-pity with a deep passion for knowledge.” I spun my scepter in front of her.

“Please, get your fucking cane away from me.” She hit it with a hoof.

I shoved it against her neck. “It’s a scepter and you’ll learn to respect it!”

She took a step back.

“Apologize!”

“I’m sorry, Twilight—”

“Apologize to the scepter!” I rotated it so that the face stared straight at her.

She sighed. “Scepter, I—”

“Redeemer!”

“What?”

“Its name is Redeemer.”

She clenched her teeth and looked to the side, breathing heavily. Her eyes narrowed as she forcefully looked at the scepter. “Dear sir Redeemer. I’m sorry I pushed you...”

“Good, now kiss and make up.”

Her hoof struck at the ground. “I already said I’m sorry!”

“Kiss and make out—”

“Make up...” Trixie interrupted me.

“Make out!” I emphasized. “Else, I’ll rename the scepter to Punisher, and I’ll punish your sphincter with it!”

“Ugh!” She clenched her teeth and puckered her lips.

As she closed her eyes, I shoved the scepter in her face. “Redeemer forgives you.” Even though the recluse leaned her head back, she couldn’t escape the passionate kiss.

When I detached the scepter from her lips, I noticed her sparkly eyes. Tears gathered in the red corners.

“Now that that’s done, you wanted to express your thoughts on the experiment, no?” I raised my eyebrows.

She looked away and screamed to herself, “Aaa!”

“Mmm, you must really be anxious to see the results.”

She snorted and struck a hoof on the metallic floor. “I—”

“Well...” Redeemer stood in attention.

“I—” her body shook “—was feeling sorry for myself for absolutely no reason at all, but have suddenly, out of nowhere, found a burning passion for random knowledge.”

“Go on.” I sat down and reached with a hoof between my hind legs. “I’m listening.” I laid my scepter beside her and shut down my horn. I needed my focus elsewhere. I was getting moist down below.

She looked away. “Twilight, why don’t you get a room.”

I continued rubbing on my genitalia. “I am in my room. It’s my favorite one. All the interesting and groundbreaking breakthroughs happen here.”

“Then let me go to a different one and you can have this one all for yourself.”

“There’s plenty of space for both of us in my room, Trixie. Now, about those results; how strong is your motivation to obtain them?”

“I don’t want to do this. I have my dignity, you know?”

“What was that?” I lifted up my scepter again. “What is it that you say you want me to beat out of you?”

“Nothing...” She bowed her head.

“From now on, your honor is called loyalty.”

She shook. “I just really want to learn now and see the results, if I may?” After taking a long pause, she mumbled with a monotone voice through her clenched teeth. ”Oh, Twilight, won’t you please show them to me?”

“How bad do you want to see them?” I rubbed my clitoris with a hoof in an increased frequency.

She faced away. “I really, really want to see them.”

“I don’t know.”

“Please, Twilight. I beg of you, won’t you please show me the results? Oh, I so crave to see them.”

“Yes, you thirst for knowledge.”

“Well, I am thirsty, for sure.”

”You want to get the information badly. You’d do anything to have the data presented to you.”

“Right…”

“You also like books.”

“Whaa?” She tilted her head as she looked at me with eyes widespread.

I focused on a deck of books that lay on the table near the basement wall. I levitated them toward me and spread them out to read the titles. “Magic Resistance of Flesh, Measurement of Magical Amplitude, Stimulation of Inner Flow… Damn it! I’ve read all of these already.”

Trixie faced away from me again, shoving a hoof against the platform.

“Hm… This one I’ve read twice, but it still holds some kink to it. Advanced Manipulation of Inner Magical Systems.” I levitated it in front of Trixie while floating the rest of them back on their spot. I put them down one by one in alphabetical order then straightened the book tower for extra orderly points.

I looked back at Trixie, she was ignoring the book in the air in front of her. “Hold the book, Trixie!”

She charged her horn.

“Hey! What did we say about magic usage?” I levitated up my scepter and formed an anti-magic barrier around her horn.

“Don’t?” Her magic aura under my anti-magic spell dissipated as she bowed her head.

“That’s right! Put it in your mouth, as is proper.” I laid the scepter on the floor beside her and also shut down my magic. “Respectable ponies respect literature.”

She sighed as she reached out with her head to grab the book. Her mouth opened and both lips softly connected with the covers.

“You can smell it, can't you? The dust and the mold. The taste of hardcover rubbing on your tongue. So invigorating.”

Her body muscles tensed.

My wings slowly erected. “Yes, you crave for cognition.”

She turned away from me.

“Look at me!” I exclaimed.

She faced me, but her eyes were still directed toward the ceiling.

“Yes, you really like that book, don’t you!”

“Nhn… ” she spoke with her mouth full of book.

“You navigate the maze of the library. You walk along the bookshelves trying to find a reading desk where you’ll be able to read your precious book in peace.”

She raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes wide.

“Improvise!” I sighed when she gave out no response. “Just walk left and right along the platform, Trixie!”

She dragged herself to the edge of the platform, stopped, then turned around on the spot.

“You’re about to read a book, Trixie. That makes you very excited. Trot about!”

She tensed her body and clenched her mouth on the book.

I really hoped she wasn’t using her teeth.

Raising her legs high after every step, she walked to the other side of the platform. A tear drifted down her cheek.

“What’s wrong, Trixie? I thought you were a performer. Performers ought to love performing. Hmm, I guess I overestimated you on this front as well.”

She jerkingly waved her tail all around.

“Anyway, Trixie, I have great news for you, you just found a free book holder.”

She looked at me.

I sighed. “Put down the book.”

She dropped the book, making a spitting sound with her mouth. It fell on its side, then overturned on its front.

“Hey!” I levitated up my scepter.

She crouched down on the platform and quickly turned the book around with her hooves and laid it on its back. She lowered her neck and slowly looked at me.

“Open it!”

“Twilight, reading isn’t my fetish...”

“Open it!” I yelled louder.

She opened the cover and hoofed the first empty page.

“Page 42!”

She glanced at me then focused on hoofing the pages.

“Yes, you browse through the book for that extra juicy information that you seek.”

She stopped hoofing and turned to me.

“Read it.”

“Twilight, I’m not that good at reading—”

“Just do it!”

“Alicorns are not just coal-related—”

“Coagulated.”

“—train station—”

“Transmutation!”

“—of Unicorn’s and Pegasus’s feathers.”

“Features!” I put both forehooves down on me. My face hurt and any more facehooves could prove detrimental. I also needed some extra stimulation to keep myself going through the blasphemous reading session.

“Their inner flow coins—”

“Coils!”

“—are, in fact, arranged in a singer quartet—”

“Singular cortex!”

“—that can be ascended—”

“Ascertained!”

“—only in alicorns. The flow generations—”

“Generators!”

“—are not important—”

“Implanted!”

“—in a cart-anal-limbo system—”

“Cardinal limbic system!”

“—as in unicorns and pegasi“—

“I think you should stop reading, Trixie.” It wasn’t turning me on as I had planned it would.

—“but are rather spread out in and indicate web—”

“An intricate web! You are an illiterate, Trixie. Best you stop...”

“—that is receiving”

“Reactive! Ugh! Just stop it, Trixie.”

“—to the—”

“No more, dammit! You’ve just butchered a good book and turned me off in the process. I hope you’re proud of yourself!”

She raised her head from the book, a little smug showing on her face.

“Ugh!” She didn’t finish the paragraph! My body stiffened from the tension rising up from within me. I couldn’t take it anymore! “...to the nerve stimuli from the cortex, unlike the unresponsive spread out structure of earth ponies, that is mostly non-responsive to consciousness directives!” I recited from memory. “Whew...” My body loosened up a little.

It was too late for me, though. My thought patterns weren’t compatible with self-pleasing procedures. I was all dried up below. Even rubbing my hooves against my clitoris felt like tedious grinding.

She just passively stood there without a care. As if she had no part in spoiling my joy.

I lowered my eyebrows as I glared at her. “It’s your fault, you fix it.”

She gulped.
