5 days later... Early afternoon...

Starlight groans as she is coddling a large mug of coffee, curled up in the corner armchair. Twilight is passed out on the sofa, cuddling a cushion as her mane is a mess. Their front door opens and Alexander walks in with some shopping bags which he puts in the kitchen. Sighing to himself, he walks through and looks at the two ponies.

"I didn't realise Vivi held a party here. She looks awful..." Alexander notes about Twilight.

"Doesn't help she hasn't slept much since Edward mysteriously vanished... She and Tara have been searching a lot the past five days." Starlight yawns as she finishes her coffee and places the mug on the table.

"He'll pop up when he does... The Chancellor has called an assembly in the main campus schoolyard, no idea what it's about, but I have an unfortunate inkling." Alexander flops down on the bean bag.

Starlight stretches as she eases up from her sitting position properly, "When is that..?"

"Few hours," Alexander replies removing his tie.

"I should likely shower and get dressed..." She comments, noting she is naked.

"I'm not complaining, you don't need to get dressed right after. I did get a new batch of oil from Indigo at the spa." Alexander comments making Starlight blush slightly.

Starlight gives her answer in a nod before walking through to the bathroom and turning on the shower as Alexander goes to put away the shopping he brought home. When done, Twilight groans and shuffles up off the sofa, crawling into the kitchen as Alexander makes her some coffee.

"Thank you..." Twilight takes the mug and begins sipping it lightly after blowing on it a little.

"Still no luck?" Alexander asks as he sighs.

Twilight shakes her head and takes a few more sips while fixing her hair with magic.

"No, nobody has seen him since five days ago and he hasn't been back here. Ripley doesn't know either... Tara is treating me to the spa soon today, to help ease us from our recent searching." Twilight yawns.

"I wish I had some clue, but... All the spots or people I know of either are empty or don't know. I've got nothing, I haven't given up... Just I'm working a different problem for a solution." Alexander sips some of his own coffee.

Twilight nods and soon finishes her mug, placing it on the kitchen island.

"I understand, I know how close you two were. I've grown to like him too, I miss his company." Twilight heads to the bedroom to grab some fresh clothes before leaving the room to meet Tara.

Alexander wanders to the bedroom where he lays out a couple of towels on his bed and prepares a bottle of his custom order oil on the bedside table while testing his wrists and hands.

'Is this such a good idea?'

"Hmm? The last thing I require is your comment on my personal relationships... It's still some time before the gate is even ready so... Not a lot else can be done." Alexander states lowly to himself.

'I'll leave you to it then...'

Alexander rolls his eyes before shaking his head and slapping his cheeks to shift the mental focus. He then hears the shower turn off and after a couple of minutes, Starlight walks into the bedroom drying her hair.

"I've dried the majority of my body with the help of that hairdryer you have. Using fire crystals is somehow more effective than hot air." She lays down and gets comfortable.

"They are helpful." Alexander chuckles before taking a kneeling position just behind her flank to have the best access to her back.

Applying a layer of oil to his hands he then begins from the small of her back, dripping more between his fingers. Alexander then starts sliding his hands hard up her back, making sure to massage any tense spots he comes across with his palm.

"Hmm, I take back my hesitation... I needed this..." Starlight hums and lays her head on the two pillows.

"I know you've been stressing about finding him too, among the other stuff going on around here lately," Alexander comments, reaching her shoulders to rub them deeply.

Starlight hums in response before gasping as Alexander slowly drags the fingertips of his right hand down her spine, applying a light electrical shock.

"T-Twilight is still asleep?" Starlight asks, blushing.

Alexander shakes his head as both hands travel up her back, sliding down against her sides to curve back up again just above her tail.

"Tara is treating her to the spa conveniently. You can still put up a sound spell if you're feeling noisy." Alexander chuckles, making Starlight blush deeply before lighting her horn, making the room flash purple.

Chuckling, even more, he applies more charge, making Starlight bite the pillow and moan into it.

"I think I like electricity too much now thanks to you..." Starlight comments as Alexander gives a sudden very tight squeeze to her plush shaped flank, oiling it.

"Don't even try, you were a bad mare before you met me. I imagine you didn't have anyone to be it with." Alexander comments as she blushes more.

"You have no idea, but not in this way... Just keep going~" Starlight replies, giving off more gasps as her flank is roughly squeezed, oiled and handled.

Likely enjoying her plush rear a bit too much, Alexander applies some electricity to her flank making her jolt slightly as she seemingly pushes her cheeks back into his hands that massage her hard.

"You really like your flank handled don't you?" Alexander asks giving her a surprise swat.

Unable to even muffle her moan she nuzzles the pillow, "Sweet Celestia, you're being more hands-on than normal... Do it again." Starlight asks with a crimson hue across her muzzle.

Alexander obliges giving her other cheek an equal swat before delivering two more harder slaps on either side, making the mare drool as she doesn't bother hiding her moans.

"I mean... You don't mind our messages are more intimate compared to before Halloween? I don't want you to feel we're going to fast." Alexander comments as he gives her two more shocks before applying more oil and focusing on her legs.

Starlight shakes her head and sighs in relief, "I don't believe so. I feel only we know when we're moving too fast and we were rather flirty and playful before Halloween... Thanks to Jerry, things progressed, so I'm happy." She states making Alexander feel at ease.

Flipping around to barely kneel above her flank, Alexander massages her thighs how she likes, deep and hard using light electricity. He slightly increases the voltage and to her surprise spread her flank in order to tease around her sex, making her moan and bite the pillow.

"T-that was an un-orthodox surprise attack!~" Starlight holds the pillows tightly as he lightly traces around her slit, never touching it directly.

Chuckling to himself, the effectiveness of his massage is made greater by how utter dripping wet Starlight's sex is, making it easier to tease her with his electricity. Leaving her in want, he progresses further down her legs, making sure to fully massage her toned limbs.

"I still find it nice how elegant yet toned your legs are," Alexander comments, applying more oil and electricity to the area.

Starlight hums and sinks back into comfort as she sighs, "You do enjoy legs, don't you?~" She chuckles.

"Guilty, but having to walk a lot without cars, I can see why yours are better." Alexander chuckles and rubs a little harder into her tense areas.

Bending her lower legs up a bit to have a better angle, he begins to slowly massage her feet hard, making the mare swiss her tail and groan. These turn to moans and a deep blush when she feels his hot tongue stroke up her feet and teases her.

"I shouldn't have told you so early of that weakness, Celestia~" Starlight moans and nuzzles the pillow more, breathing in deep as she feels her feet, rubbed, licked and teased.

"I feel you regret nothing," Alexander comments back with a chuckle as he strokes up and down her feet with electricity making her shiver.

Starlight's reply comes in gasps and moans, all the teasing buildup and stress releasing at once as she reaches her first climax, resulting in a sweet-smelling mess around her nethers as Alexander continues massaging her feet. After a couple of seconds, he leans back and props his hands on her flank, squeezing her again.

"You made quite the mess, normally you hold out, but I guess you were more pent up than I thought." Alexander chuckles lightly before blushing deeply and biting his lip, giving himself an idea.

Alexander decides to shuffle off her, adjusting his attire as he slips between her legs, the mare herself shuffling.

"Hmm, what are you up to-" Starlight moans louder as she is caught off-guard yet again, feeling Alexander's hot tongue slide flat up against her slit before his lips press hard against it, "A-Alexander!~ Sweet Celestia~"

"Your smell is sweet and intoxicating, not to mention your cherry flavour..." Alexander's voice drops off as he slides his tongue hard against her again, this time pushing her slit open very slightly with his tip.

Starlight hums in approval, letting her stallion pamper her how he wishes, losing herself in the very intimate and pleasurable massage. Holding her ample flank, he teases, licks and kisses her kitty passionately, coaxing more juices and cream from her inside.

"Oh my... If you keep going I'll orgasm again, Alexander..." Starlight pleads, more to encourage him than anything.

Starlight is made to instantly question her choice of words when light electricity is applied to the area surrounding Alexander's work. Deciding to not hold back on her, she feels his warm wet appendage fully slip inside and begin caressing her walls. Starlight lets out sparse moans into the pillow and holds it tightly, her body feeling such delightful pleasure. Just as she promised, Alexander is treated to a flood of flavoured juices which are consumed eagerly before he draws out her euphoria by stroking her kitty with electricity, making her moan more.

After a little time passes and Starlight has calmed down, Alexander chuckles as his position hasn't really changed. "Feeling better?" He asks sitting up.

"You have no idea... I might need another shower, or else I'll smell like a sex shop." Starlight sighs and chuckles, sitting up also before giving Alexander a kiss on the cheek.

The Unicorn stands up to stretch before leaving for the bathroom, "You're welcome," Alexander states making her glance back and smile.

After both of them getting changed and waiting the remaining time, they met everyone else in the academy schoolyard where they normally gather. Starlight and Alexander look around, but can't seem to find Twilight or her human counterpart.

"How are we going to find them in this chaos?" Starlight asks, looking around.

"I don't believe either are here yet," Jerry states from behind Starlight making her jump slightly.

"Why do you always do that?!" Starlight exclaims, adjusting her uniform.

Jerry turns to Alexander, shrugging with a chuckle.

"Any idea what this is about? It's abnormal for them to call an emergency gathering so suddenly." Alexander looks concerned as nearly everyone arrives.

The Chancellor steps out onto the balcony, looking over the students before taking a deep breath.

"Dear students, thank you all for coming at such short notice. As many of you might have noticed, our academy has been besieged by unnatural forces in the last few days. It would appear that darkness has come to infest our beloved home, Shadowfright and his Nightmare Force have made a holding here and are growing in power." There are murmurs from the crowd of concern before the Chancellor quiets them back down, "Additionally, it would appear students have been disappearing, only to pop up later in unexpected places. I'm afraid to say, that this is the signature of another ancient evil. Stories, again from the days of Camelot, tell of similar disappearances that were the work of mysterious animated gems. The beings took a very humanoid form, but still retained distinct gem related features, including a heart made of the same material as their names. However, during the time it was heavily rumoured that they vanished without a trace suddenly. Their return appears to be at hand and here no less." Sighing deeply the Chancellor looks back down at everyone, "Due to these two dangerous opposing forces, we feel it is most important to make as much preparation as we can. In light of this, we shall be enacting siege game rules and protocols. Unlike the siege games, this isn't practice or a rival academy. We are facing two very ancient and very dangerous factions who once tormented the land of Camelot. However, like the siege games, there will be a barrier erected around this campus, so those who do not wish to fight can help here and be safe. That is everything so far, please be safe and let's get through this crisis together." The Chancellor walks back through the doors before they close.

The students all look at each other in much greater concern before a voice is heard, "Well, fuck!"

Author's Notes:

As promised, this chapter didn't take as long as normal, but it still took time as I had to work at the spicy section a little. I'm hoping my work is good enough, taking what I learnt from all the clop fics I've read and putting it into practice. We have the next few chapters laid out and shall get to production when my co-author has time. Look forward to some excitement.
