    >Twilight's eyes darted back and forth across the page, her mind absorbing the new information as she gleaned it from the textbook.
    >The initial embarrassment of what she was reading had long been drowned out by the sheer elation of learning something new, the hesitance replaced by keen interest.
    >Curiosity had made her read on, and she had convinced herself that a true scholar was not averse of any form of new information.

    "Twilight?''

    >This theory however did not prevent her from leaping in surprise at the sound of a voice calling her name.
    >She quickly spun around, standing on her hind legs and leaning back against the reading table to obscure the book.
    >In front of her stood an azure unicorn looking inquisitively in her direction.
    >She tried to act calm, but a deep blush betrayed her.
    >"What's the matter Twi? Reading something naughty are we?" Trixie cooed, enjoying the adorable red tint on her companions cheeks.
    >"No no, its nothing like that ...." Twilight responded quickly, avoiding eye contact.
    >"It's purely scientific! It's just that the chapter I'm on is a little ... embarrassing."
    >"Oh?" Trixie grinned. "What's it about?"
    >Twilight glanced over her shoulder at the book as if she hoped the volume would speak up and explain itself to save her the trouble.
    >"It's about ... horn sensitivity," Twilight finally admitted.
    >Trixie raised a hoof to her mouth to stifle a laugh, genuinely trying to be supportive of her innocent little bookworm.
    >"It's really quite interesting," Twilight continued, trying to shake the awkwardness of the conversation. She turned back to he book. >"For example, did you know Trixie that if a unicorn's horn is ... stimulated in the right way, it can cause almost complete paralysis due to the endorphins released?"
    >"Well actually yes, Trixie did know this," the showpony replied from behind. Though if Twilight heard this she ignored it, having gained steam and entering lecture mode.
>They can sometimes even ... oooh ... ahhh ...."
>Twilight's teaching was cut suddenly short as she felt a hoof brush gingerly along her horn, and felt the warmth of Trixie's body lower itself onto her back.
>"Trixie know's plenty about horn sensitivity," she explained in a breathy voice close to Twilight's ear.
>"Haven't you ever had a horn rub before darling?"
>Twilight was finding it extremely difficult to focus her thoughts as Trixie ran her hoof along her horn.
>The hoof was making as little possible contact with the horn whilst still touching it.
>The sensation was akin to a feather being lightly hovered over her skin, although the result of it was far more intense.
>With each motion a tingling shot down from her horn and throughout her body, making her legs feel weaker with each passing second.
>"I've ... I've had a horn file a few times b-but ... it never felt like t-this ...." Twilight stammered in response, struggling to take control of her vocal cords as the sensations spread throughout her body, leaving a warm feeling behind wherever the tingling travelled to.
>Her usually purple face was most likely now a complete shade of red as she blushed heavily from the new sensations.
>Trixie made a dissaproving clicking sound with her tongue.
>"Of course it wouldn't. Those spa ponies are too rough with those files. The secret is to apply as little pressure as possible," she explained as she continued her work.
>Absolutely delighted with herself over how she was making the bashful unicorn feel.
>She grinned happily as she heard Twilight emit a soft moan as she ran her hoof over the horn again.
>"T-Trixie ... I think I'm g-gonna ...." Twilight tried to warn as her legs began shaking visibly.
>"F-fall."
>Trixie quickly grabbed Twilight around the waist just in time as her knees buckled.
>She gently lowered the paralyzed unicorn onto the floor.
>Twilight's legs flopped uselessly out in front of and behind her, leaving her sprawled belly-down on the floor, a shocked expression on her face.
>"I c-can't m-move," Twilight muttered.
>"Oh don't worry Twilight," Trixie giggled. "The book says the paralysis only lasts a few moments."
>Twilight released what seemed to be a sigh of relief.
>"Unless ...." Trixie continued, "the unicorn in question has not experienced it before, in which case it can last up to ten minutes."
>Trixie laughed as she read the passage aloud.
>A look of horror entered Twilight's eyes.
>"Hmmm, ten whole minutes," Trixie spoke in a pondering tone. "What to do? SPIIIIIIKE!"
>The summoned dragon appeared from the basement at the sound of his name.
>"What's up?" he asked. He then spotted the paralyzed Twilight.
>"Oh my gosh is she ok?!" he yelled.
>"She's fine," Trixie assured the dragon. "It was just an ... experiment," Trixie grinned, looking down at the immobilised unicorn.
>"But she's going to be inactive for at least ten minutes, you know what that means!"
>Spike's eyes lit up. "ICE CREAM!" he yelled, sprinting into the library kitchen, Trixie running after him.
>"No ... stomach ... ache," Twilight mumbled helplessly into the floor.
