  "writing": "Sleep can leave you as quickly as it can find you.\nFor the twins, they were deep into a restful sleep when suddenly they woke with a snap. Rubi pulled her head off the coffee table and quickly realised that she was still in the treehouse. Her sister meanwhile was laying flat on the sofa. She groaned and stretched her stiff back into a more reasonable shape before rolling her head around to loosen it up further. Her eyes were dry but clear.\n\nTurning her face towards the fan that had been running all night, she let the cool air waft over her hair and feathers for some time. Rubi’s body felt heavy but clean, the heat and sweat of days prior feeling like a memory already. \n\nRubi yawned and clicked her beak a few times before turning to her sister and giving her a nudge. Ruby turned her head around and let out a groan but she woke up just as fast as Rubi had. Pulling herself up straight, she stretched out her legs and cracked her back before relaxing. \n\n“Hungry?” Rubi asked as she took the glass of leftover water from the table.\n“Not too much.” Ruby replied as she continued to stretch. \n\nRubi drank some of the stale water and placed the glass back onto the table.\n\n“Shall we get breakfast in town, before the spa?” Ruby then asked.\n“That sounds delightful.” Rubi nodded as she rubbed her neck. \n\nThe two took a minute to clean up the table and treehouse before leaving and heading back down to the main house. After sending their chef a message about the changes to breakfast, and a message to Ford that they were nearly ready to leave, the two changed into a fresh set of clothes together. Feeling more and more awake as the minutes ticked on, the two girls skipped down the stairs and left towards the limo parked out front. \n\n“Good morning.” Ruby chirped happily as she ducked into the limo’s open door.\n“We are quite excited to see the town proper.” Rubi added as she joined her sister. \n\n“The journey will not be too long. Please make yourself comfortable.” Ford replied. \n\nHe closed the door behind them and the two settled down nicely onto the comfortable seats. Rubi spread herself out and rested her head on the cold leather while Ruby shifted her way over to the bar built across from the seats. She cracked her fingers and began to put together a drink. A bit of strawberry, lime, some ice and a pinch of fizzy powder for a kick. Ruby took a sip and let out a pleasant sigh as the cold and sour flavours refreshed her body and mind.\n\nRuby handed her glass to her sister before turning back to make herself one. \nRubi took a sip as well and she too sighed pleasantly. Together the two sisters sat in peace, quietly enjoying each other’s presence and drinks alike as the small limo continued to travel down the road and towards the more densely built urban centres. \n\n“Should we check on the team before we arrive?” Ruby asked.\n“They will be fine without us for a day.” Rubi replied. \n“True, a day all to ourselves does sound good.” Ruby nodded. \n\nThe two tapped their glasses together before drinking the lot. \nThey shuddered pleasurably as the sour cold ran through them and then they giggled as the fizz tickled their throats. They savoured it for a moment before putting the glasses away and getting their phones out. \n\nWith this being the first trip into town, they needed directions and ideas on where to go. While it was true that a local’s experience can help with both, there was something equally fun with figuring it out together instead. With the wonders of technology as well, it was not hard to explore a new city anymore. They brought up a map of the local area, one that was updated daily with information on every shop, every road, the weather and traffic flow, delays and dangers. They could even filter for whatever they wanted in just a few clicks. \n\n“This cafe looks lovely. East Aliva food, and such a cosy look.” Rubi piped up.\nShe showed her phone and the cafe’s page to her sister.\n\n“I’ve always wanted to try a traditionally made croissant. But it’s so close to the city centre that it would surely be very busy.” Ruby replied. “How about this one? It’s a bit further away and on a side street, but the reviews are excellent and it has such a lovely atmosphere.” \n\n“It does look nice. But there is this one over here too that does North Aliva food, and they have a giant fish tank!” Rubi chirped back excitedly. Ruby’s eyes lit up at the look of such a thing too. \n\nThe two continued to scroll and search and soon they realised that outside of cafes there were even more places to sit and eat. As the choices expanded and the list ran ever longer the two became increasingly doubtful. \n\n“Who would think that choice is a form of torture.” Ruby said as she rubbed her head. \n“Perhaps the Spa has a cafe inside?” Rubi sighed as she continued to scroll. \n\nRuby suddenly stopped her searching. An idea coming to mind.\n\n“What about the nearest cafe instead?” Ruby suggested.\n“The second nearest, so that it’s quieter?” Rubi added. \n“That sounds perfect, let’s see here…” Ruby said as she looked over the map. “South Alvia style food with a traditional flair. They even have that proper white and red stonework made by native craftsmen. How quaint.” Ruby mused happily. \n\nFor a time the two continued to search over the local area and all the many activities and locations that it had on offer. Soon enough however the limo took one final turn before coming to a stop. The two got up and made their way outside to find themselves underground. This subterranean parking lot stretched on far and wide in so many directions, and yet it was not dark. High tech sun tunnels dotted the ceiling, each one allowing natural sunlight to flood the underground space. \n\n“Do you know where you are going?” Ford asked politely. \n\n“Yes, we have maps.” Ruby replied. \n“We will phone you if we need help.” Rubi added. \n\n“I will be here if you need me.” Ford replied with a tip of his cap. \nAs the twins left, Ford returned to the front of the limo where he had his own TV to occupy his time. \n\nThe twins walked over to the nearest elevator and took a look at the brightly coloured map painted across the wall. It was intriguing, this underground parking lot was actually much bigger than they first thought as it stretched beneath dozens of the above buildings. Dotted all across this underground space were Oases, larger pillars that had elevators heading up to the surface, as well as maps and benches to rest. \n\n“How ingenious of a design.” Ruby mused as she took a photo with her phone. \n“Seems we are quite near to the spa if we take this elevator.” Rubi pointed out. \n“I wonder where the elevator will come out.” Ruby added. \n\nWith a skip they headed into the elevators and waited as it pulled them up to the surface.\nAs they stepped out of the metal box they found themselves in a completely different world than the underground or the suburbs. They could not help but marvel at the local architecture of Pardon. It was a beautiful mix of the industrial styles that North Aliva was historically famous for, and the artistically elegant nature of East Aliva. Red bricks, and sleek white stone, strong shapes contrasting smooth curves. Like a well sculpted and powerful body clad in the finest and thinnest of silks. Or rather, a powerful masculine presence wrapped in a lusciously feminine form. Truly, Pardon was the City of Love after all. \n\nWith Ruby taking the lead with the map, and Rubi keeping an eye out so she did not run into errant poles or passing people, they travelled across the roads and past dense structures before finally finding the cafe hidden away in a small passage. This dimly lit roadway was nestled between two giant buildings but the shade had not diminished the businesses at all. There were people walking past and talking, the air smelled beautifully rich with baking bread. The biggest difference however was that it was indeed much quieter than the rest of the larger main streets. \n\nAfter slipping past the few people on the sidewalks, the twins found the cafe they were searching for and entered inside. It was warm, and smelled sweetly of coffee and cakes alike. Their talons tapped on the refreshingly cold stone floor as they found a table near a window and made themselves comfortable. \n\nLooking over the menu they found themselves once again spoiled for choice. The drinks menu alone ran long down the back side of the menu, while the breakfast section had several things that they had never even heard of before. \n\n“Hola, what can I get you two to drink today?” A tall Genet woman asked warmly. \n\n“Could we get two Cranberry Sangrias?” Rubi asked.\n“With the tomato and cheese on toast?” Ruby added. \n\nThe woman cracked a wide and amused grin.\n“Sure thing, anything else?” She asked.\n\n“That will do.” Ruby said. \n“We are going to the Spa soon.” Rubi added. \n\n“That sounds lovely. Won’t be long.” She said before turning fluffy tail and heading away. \n\n“What a nice place this is.” Rubi mused as she looked around the cafe. \n“We really should come into the city more often.” Ruby nodded. \n“Quite, we have friends now as well to entertain” Rubi added.\n“Oh, maybe we should take a photo or two for them?” Ruby suggested.\n“Delightful idea.” Rubi replied as she leaned closer. Her knee knocked against her sister’s leg and her gaze softened. “Do you think they would enjoy any other photos we have?” Rubi said quieter. \n\nHer sister giggled and pressed her leg against her sisters. \n\n“Best not to give them too much all at once.” Ruby whispered back.\n“A little taste to get them interested, hm?” Rubi replied softly. \n\n“Here you are!” A familiar voice said as the woman returned. \n\nThe two leaned away from each other and turned their attention to her as she placed down two surprisingly big glasses of juice. They were deep red in colour and each had both a handful of chopped fruit pieces and crushed ice. \n\n“Thank you very much.” Rubi said. \n“Will the food be coming soon?” Ruby then asked.\n\n“Not too much longer.” She replied. “And, if you don’t mind me asking. Do you two always speak like that?”\n\n“Oh, yes. We’ve always been quite in sync.” Rubi replied. \n“So much so that we forgot it’s odd to hear.” Ruby added. \n“Although, it can be amusing to see the reactions.” They both said together. \n\n“It’s amazing. You swap between each other's sentences at just the right time, and because you sound exactly the same, it sounds like one person is talking even though you are switching back and forth.” The woman thought out loud. “Ah, my apologies, I was rambling.” \n\n“Worry not, we quite enjoy talking to new people.” Ruby nodded. \n\n“I will be right back.” She said before once again leaving. \n\nThe twins sipped their drinks and as the sour taste hit them they clicked their beaks and shook their heads from side to side. It was stronger than expected but also deeply refreshing, the chunks of fruit as well was a nice extra once the drink was gone. \n\nAnother moment passed and the women once again returned but this time with a plate. She placed it onto the table and wished them a nice morning before going to tend to other customers. The girls each took a piece of the wide toast and gave it a peck. Ruby hummed pleasantly while Rubi murmured pleasurably. The sun dried tomatoes and sharp cheese were delicious while the olive oil fried bread worked perfectly with the flavours. \n\nNot a word passed between them as they enjoyed their meal and basked in the warm ambiance of the cafe. It was not long before the toast had been packed into crumbs and the juice ran dry. Satisfied with the fresh and nutritious nature of their breakfast they sat back and rested for a minute more, until the allure of the spa started to pull on them once again. \n\nGetting up, they headed to the main counter and bid the waitress a nice day in the form of a 40% tip as they paid for the meal. Leaving the Redstone cafe, they made their way out of the sideroad and back onto the main street. Ruby looked over the map and found that the spa was directly to the left and down the road. As they began to follow the path they began to realise that the building to their left, as well as the fenced off gardens and foundation, were in fact all one business. \n\nThey soon stood before a marble archway that had the words, ``Paradise Falls” written across it with vibrant blue stone. They checked the map again just to be sure before entering and going up to the large set of double glass doors at the front of the building. Ruby looked down the long marbled side of the building to the right and Rubi looked down the long grassy side of the building to the left, and then they looked at each other.\n\n“This is a big spa.” The Rubies said together. \n\nTurning their gaze to the doors, they approached and the doors opened automatically. The inside was a large, temperate, waiting room and reception area. The far walls to the left and right were gentle waterfalls while the huge skylight above flooded the room with natural sunshine. There was a calming feeling to this room, a peaceful energy that had the two girls relaxing without even realising it. \n\nUnknown to them, they were being watched.\nTabathia was also here and she had noticed the two stumble in almost instantly. She noticed that they were not carrying any sort of bag, nor holding any sort of clothing. She smirked. \n“Those two don’t even know how long it takes to get an appointment. At this time of the morning they will be waiting for hours to get in.” She thought to herself. \n\nGoing up to the reception desk they found a single young frog girl working behind it. She had a rather bored look to her and seemed to not be paying attention to anything. \nHer name tag read, Marci. \n\n“Good morning.” Rubi said. \n“Could you help us?” Ruby asked.\n\n“Is this your first time visiting a spa?” Marci asked dryly. \n\n“Not at all, but this one is much bigger.” Ruby explained.\n“We are not sure where to start.” Rubi added.\n\n“Fill these out.” Marci said as she placed two clipboards with forms on the counter top. Ruby picked both of them up. “The information is needed to know what treatments are right for you, we also need parental permissions for some of the packages. Come back once they are done.” Marci explained.\n\n“I just finished, here you go.” Ruby said as she placed one of the clipboards back onto the counter top, she began to then write down the same information quickly on her own board. \n\n“Oh, let me take a look then…” Marci sighed as she picked up the clipboard. Suddenly her eyes went wide and she let out a nervous hiccup. “Hivally, twin Hivally girls…” She muttered before straightening up and putting on a very wide smile. “Welcome to Paradise Falls! We are here to tend to all your needs and make sure your body, mind and soul are pristine.” She said smoothly before turning her eyes across the room and waving her hand frantically to someone for a moment. “What can we do to make your day excellent?” \n\n“In the mountains we liked to enjoy the hot springs and get a massage.” Rubi siad.\n“As well as a brisk walk through the snow to cool off.” Ruby added as she finished her forms.\n\n“Delightful, but we have many more facilities for you to enjoy. The luxury Avain package I feel would be perfect, here I will let my assistant here take care of you personally.” Marci said while writing something down onto another clipboard. At the same, another, younger frog girl came running over.\n\n“H-hello?” She said, confused. \n\n“These two lovely flowers are Rubi and Ruby of the Hivally.” Marci said to her. \nHer assistant went from confused to panicked at the mere mention of their names. \n“This is my assistant, Jasmine. She will be taking care of your VIP package today.” Marci said as she pushed a clipboard into Jasmine's hands. \n\n“Assistent?” Jasmine said before nodding. “Yes, I am the assistant. I shall assist.” \n\n“Nice to meet you.” Ruby said politely.\n“We are in your care.” Rubi said cutely. \n\n“If you follow me I will get you two situated.” Jasmine said nervously. \n\nAs they walked away from the reception desk however they found themselves blocked by Tabathia, who did not look happy in the slightest. \n\n“I’ve been waiting 30 minutes for my appointment, why do they get to go ahead of me?” \nShe whined. \n\n“We had a last minute opening for them.” Jasmine replied nicely. \n\n“Do you wanna join us?” Ruby asked.\n“We are getting full body massages and a sauna.” Rubi said playfully. \n\n“I don’t need handouts.” Tabathia huffed before stomping off to the desk. \n\n“A-apologies for that.” Jasmine stammered before continuing.\n\nShe led the girls to a much smaller room near the main waiting area that had cabinets on one side of the room, and benches on the other side, with the two divided by open curtains. \n\n“This is our private dressing room, before we continue I just need to get some specifics of what your visit here will entail if that is alright?” Jasmine asked. \n\n“Of course.” Rubi spoke first.\n“As we said before, we used to get massages and a hot water soak in the past.” Ruby added.\n“But we hear that you have many more options here?” Rubi then continued. \n\n“Ah yes. W-we suggest the full Avian package, it starts off with a hot sand soak, followed by a mineral massage and then a sauna. We provide drinks and on-call service during the whole experience.” Jasmine explained.\n\n“May we change or add to this?” Rubi asked.\n\n“Of course, the packages are simply a guide.” Jasmine nodded.\n\n“The hot sand soak sounds wonderful, we’ve not done that before. Do you offer cryotherapy options? We loved walking through the snow after the hot springs in the mountains.” Ruby asked.\n\n“Yes we do, there is a rain tunnel near the north saunas for just such an occasion.” \nJasmine replied. \n\n“Wonderful, we prefer sour drinks when relaxing but we’ve had a lot already so will keep that for after we are done with the sauna in you please.” Rubi said. \n\n“Of course. Now, normally you would bring your own swimwear and robes to the spa but we do have rental options. For the hot sand soak as well you will need to wear special underwear, lest the sand get into sensitive areas.” \n\n“Is natural allowed?” Rubi asked.\n“It is how we did it in the mountains.” Ruby added.\n\n“Yes, we accept all forms. I must say I am impressed. Normally girls your age are more shy about that.” Jasmine said as she opened up the cabinets and began to pull out fluffy bathrobes. \n\n“We are quite mature for our age.” Ruby said.\n“And we know what we like.” Rubi added. \n\n“You will also need these, they allow you access to all our private rooms and special facilities.” \nJasmine explained as she gave them two wristbands. \n\nAfter being handed the clothing, the two went to the other side of the room and pulled the curtain closed. They found that there were two things to wear. A bathrobe, which felt like a warm fluffy cloud, and a small pair of underwear that seemed too small for them. The twins threw off their dresses and underwear and tried on the ones given by Jasmine. They were small indeed but very stretchy.\nThe two girls let out a quiet moan and a pleasurable murmur as the tight spandex held their private areas snugly. The smooth feeling and skintight material felt uncomfortable for only a brief moment until it settled into shape. After a few stretches, it felt like a second skin clinging to them. \n\n“Do you think they sell swimsuits with this material?” Ruby asked.\n“Better question would be, would the school allow that?” Rubi said.\n\nThe two let out a quiet giggle before throwing the bathrobes over themselves and tying the cord around their waist. The two let out a pleasant murmur as the feeling of the luxuriously fluffy fabric hugged their slender bodies and tickled their feathers in pleasurable ways. \nOpening the curtain, they stepped out with their clothes folded up in their hands. \n\n“We have a locker for your belongings.” Jasmine said as she opened the door for them.\n\nFollowing her down the hall they entered another room that had dozens of lockers. Jasmine pulled a keycard out of one of them and the door opened on its own. Once the twins had put everything inside, she showed them how to lock the door, before nervously handing the keyboard to Ruby. \n\n“Now, if you follow me I will show you to the hot tubs.” Jasmine said politely. \n\n“Lead on.” Rubi replied.\n\nThey left the changing rooms and headed down a well lit hallway towards the west side of the facility. After a few turns they came across a set of glass doors. Ruby lifted her wristband up to the device next to the door, and with a click it opened. They entered to find a large round room that had many flowering plants all across the walls, and a small river cutting across the middle. The twins followed Jasmine over a tiny bridge to where several wide and bubbling pools were located. Curious, Ruby ran her hand across the surface and found that it was not water but extremely fine sand.\n\n“It’s not as hot as a hot tub but it’s quite warm.” Ruby mused.\n“There is hot air being pumped through?” Rubi asked. \n\n“Exactly, the air flows between the luxuriously fine sand and creates an odd substance that is neither solid nor liquid. Please make yourselves comfortable and let me know if you need anything.” Jasmine said before giving a polite bow and quickly leaving.\n\nThe twins slipped their bathrobes off and folded them up before placing them on the side. Both of the young girls chose to use the first of the many pools as each was quite wide and would be big enough to fit even two adults, let alone two teenagers. Ruby stood on one side and Rubi approached the other. Together they dipped their talons into the sand and together they smiled pleasantly. \n\nStepping into the bath, they walked around in a small circle to get a feel for the sand before sitting down and facing each other in the middle. They paused and then broke out into crooked smiles as the flow of warm air the flowing currents tickled their feathers in an odd way but soon sighed as the sand massaged them from all directions. \n\n“It’s not very hot.” Rubi spoke up.\n“But maybe that’s part of the charm?” Ruby mused. \n\nThe Rubies ran their arms through the soft sand, they crossed their legs together and took hold of each other’s hands before pulling themselves closer. A sigh escaped them as they held each other closely, and stared into each other’s eyes. Rubi started to notice the faint ambiance in the air, natural noises of the wind rustling leaves, the slight chirp of an insect. Ruby meanwhile could smell sweetness, lavender and well watered wild flowers in bloom. \n\n“It’s not as intense as a hot bath.” Rubi said quietly.\n“But it’s so much more… Gentle.” Ruby replied softly. \n\nThey continued to watch each other as their slender fingers locked together and rubbed each other’s hands gently. Their breathing slowed and they soon became still and silent as existence itself became comfortable. All of their thoughts drained away and the world turned black. For just a moment the girls found serenity in the empty space between them, and then like ripples, new thoughts began to appear. \n\n“Our plan to fix the cafeteria was made too soon.” Rubi spoke up suddenly.\n“Starting with a big idea to get the company on the map is a good idea but risky and despite our heritage and education, we do lack experience. Especially with social connections and public relations.” Ruby continued. \n“The school might listen to us due to our name but to convince them to take such a big financial risk would need credentials and prior proven results.” Rubi spoke up next. \n“The logical thing would be to continue to develop our plans but slower so we could focus on smaller problems that will grow our company’s name and reputation.” Ruby added. \n\nThe twins cracked their necks to the left, then to the right, before letting out a long sigh. \nThey then turned their gaze to the left to find Jasmine standing awkwardly. \n\n“Everything alright?” They asked together. \n\nJasmine straightened up, nervousness clear across her features. \n“Y-yes. Your personal masseurs are ready when you are. Madams.” \n\n“Wonderful.” Ruby said before standing up alongside Rubi.\nThey shuddered and dust fell from them. \n\n“Might I suggest the air showers.” Jasmine said as she raised her arm. \n\n“Could you carry our robes?” Rubi asked as she stepped out of the sand pit. \n“We would hate to get them all dusty.” Ruby continued with a swish of her tail. \n\n“Of course.” Jasmine replied quickly. \n\nShe followed behind the twins as they walked over the small bridge to the other side of the room. Heading into a small side room they found several enclosed shower stalls. They stepped into one together and hit the simple button on the wall. Suddenly a flush of warm air swirled around them, the girls let out a surprised squark and then a string of giggles as the air took all the dust and sand and sucked it away. \n\nAs they stepped out of the shower they felt cleaner than ever before. \nThey shook themselves from head to foot just to be sure, and also for the fun of it, before fixing their hair. Rubi then started to pull their stretchy underwear down, followed by Ruby. Jasmine suddenly turned herself around for modesty but then remembered she was holding their robes. \n\nPassing them behind herself, the two girls wrapped themselves into the soft fabric once again. This time however it felt even better. Their feathers were so smooth and sensitive that they could almost count the amount of threads each robe was using. \n\n“This has been quite delightful so far.” Ruby said to her sister. \n“Mmm, I am quite excited for the next part.” Rubi replied. \n\nAfter dropping the stretchy underwear into a laundry chute at the back of the room they returned to Jasmine and followed her out in the main hallway, where she paused. \n\n“If you follow the hallway a-all the way down you will find the massage parlour. You will be using the private room, 02b today. If you would excuse me I have some… Important matters to… Do.” Jasmine said before sharply heading in the opposite direction. \n\n“What a nice lady.” Ruby said as they headed down the hall.\n\nJasmine quickly power walked down the hall before taking a turn into a storage closet. \nShe pulled out a walkie talkie hidden in her clothes and changed the channel on it. \n\n“Rodreck, Albert, pick up quickly. Over.” Jasmine whispered. \n\n“We’re here, what’s up Jazzy?” A chill voice spoke up from the other side.\n\n“Ok, ok, listen. Those two girls that are coming your way. You need to treat them maturely, like adults. Really stressed and confident adults who do meditation and might just own the school they go to. Or us. They might own us, I have not checked yet… Over.” \n\n“Jazzy you know how you tend to sometimes get nervous about… Things.”\n\n“You don’t understand, they were doing mind rituals in the sand bath like those fancy executives do. And they were talking about a company that they own, they own a company Rodreck! You need to treat them like the beautiful, terrifyingly naked, CEOs they are. Oh god it’s like my mother is visiting again.” Jasmine whined. \n\n“Hey, Jazzy, it’s Albert. Just wanted to ask if you could breathe before you spit your tongue.” \n\n“Albert, please, if we don’t get a perfect review from those two then Madam Alice is going to lose her mind. You know what she is like, she will turn both of you into new bathrobes.” Jasmine shouted. \n\n“Hey, hey, we get it. Rich, important, full service with a smile. Ain’t our first rub.” Rodreck replied. “Over.” He then added with a smirk. \n\nMeanwhile, the twins had just finished their leisurely walk down the seemingly endless hallways of the Spa’s gardens and heated pools. The massage parlour they found was a large comfortably decorated room that connected to many other smaller rooms. There were several people in here all in bathrobes just relaxing in their own ways. \n\nFollowing the signs, the Rubies entered into the exclusive section of the parlour and quickly found their room. They paused in front of the door for a moment and checked to see if anyone else was around.\n\n“Ready?” The Rubies said.\n\nThey giggled.\n\n“Looks like we are.”  Ruby said as her sister composed herself. \n\nStepping inside the two was immediately washed away by the ambiance. The air was rich with the sweet and woody smells of burning incense, as well as a slight tinge of lavender oil. The lights were turned down just a touch to make the hallways outside feel bright in comparison. There was soft ambient music as well. Something without lyrics and noticeable instruments that was designed not to be heard but to occupy the inner mind. \n\nSitting on the two tables in the middle of the room were two tall, handsome and topless Racoon men. Their arms were sculpted, with big hands and yet delicate looking fingers. They too smelled like lavender. \n\n“You two must be the lovely bouquets that we were expecting.” One of them spoke up. \n\n“I am Rodreck. And he is Alberto. We will be taking care of your needs today.” Rodreck purred. \n\n“I am Ruby, with a Y.” Ruby said.\n“And I am Rubi with an I.” Rubi continued.\n“And we are looking forward to your touch.” They said together. \n\nThe girls stepped forward and in one swift motion dropped their bathrobes onto the ground. They stopped in front of the tables, Ruby’s left hand on her hip, while Rubi had her right hand on her own. \n\n“Mind if we get comfortable?” Ruby asked with a sweet smile.\n\n“Of course Madams.” Rodreck replied as he and his partner got off the tables. \nThey moved back to the food rest and tried to stand casually as the twins waltzed up and sat themselves down. As they got themselves comfortable, Albert looked over to Rodreck. \n\n“Jazzy was not kidding about them. Damn.” He mouthed silently to Rodreck. \n\n“Keep cool and follow my lead.” Rodreck then mouthed back. \n\nThe two split off and took to the tables. Albert stood over Rubi, while Rodreck went for her sister. They rubbed their hands together to warm up before placing them on the backs of the young girls. \n\n“Don’t be too gentle now.” Rubi spoke up.\n“It’s not our first time in this position.” Ruby added on. \n\nAlbert shot a surprised and amazed look to Rodreck who nodded understandingly in return. \n\n“Now, now. When it comes to such matters, I find it is important to start… Slow.” Rodreck said quietly to the girls as he ran his hands down to the middle of Ruby’s back. Albert followed suit not even a second later for Rubi. “You have to get a lay of the land. Feel what needs attention, and where to direct your energy.” \n\nThe two girls let out a soft coo as they continued to work their way down. \nOnce they got to the base of the girl’s tails, the twins brushed their long feathers to the side. Now draped over the side of the table, the men had full access to them. Head to talon. Rodreck ran his hands down past her waist and all the way to her ankles before rubbing back up to her thighs. Albert meanwhile continued to keep the same pace. \n\n“You have a lot of tension, quite the busy week?” Rodreck asked.\n\n“Mhm, new school.” Rubi spoke up.\n“New friends.” Ruby added.\n“And boyfriends.” Rubi grinned. \n“New experiences are as fun as they are, tiring.” Ruby then said. \n\n“Mm, relax. We will make all that stress melt away.” Albert spoke up. \n\n“Good job.” Rodreck mouthed to him. \n\n“This is crazy.” Albert mouthed back. \n\nThe two men paused their rubbing to pour the warm, scented oil over the girls. They hummed and giggled from the feeling, the two gazing at each other as they both had the same lurid thoughts about the feeling of a warm and slick liquid running down their body. A gasp then escaped them as they felt the hands return, and press much firmer than before. \n\nEvery motion felt like fire. \nThe Rubies stretched themselves out, legs widening and talons curling as the two men pressed into them in ways that they had never felt before. Surely it was the oil that was helping to deliver such an impeccable result but the girls were unable to think quite that clearly anymore. Like clay they were made soft by unyielding yet loving fingers, flattened out and spread thin under their palms before finally being reshaped. And that was just their shoulders. \n\nAs their wonderful hands ran lower the girls found that the lower back was treated differently. Less pressure, less force, and instead they used long, sweeping, movements that ran down the length of them. They could feel their fingers running along their sides, and sometimes even the edges of their stomachs. The fire burning deeper and deeper with every pass. \n\nRodreck and Albert worked to the very edge of their backs, to the base of the tail itself, but then as if to tease they moved past with barely a brush of a single finger. The girls could not complain however as they went straight to work on their thighs and upper legs. Unlike their bodies as well, the two men could lift their legs up and rub both sides as much as they wanted. The touch once again felt different, but incredibly pleasurable. \n\n“You two are so much better than the, ah, the ones in Dendra.” Ruby said absentmindedly. \n“Mmm, so much better with the hands and you don’t miss a spot.” Rubi added with a nod. \n\n“It fills our hearts to hear such praises.” Albert replied. \n\n“We do hope you both will continue to give us what we need.” Ruby mused. \n“It’s not often we can find such talent like yours, after all.” Rubi added. \n\nThe two men looked at each other as they worked on the girl’s lower legs. \n\n“‘Special treatment?’” Alberto mouthed. \n\nRodreck nodded. \n\n“Let me try something.” He mouthed back. \n\nRodreck casually worked his way back up Ruby’s legs, his touch lingering in a few spots as he made the young girl continue to let out little gasps and groans. Once he reached her thighs, he slowed and rubbed his way around and up until his knuckles were almost grazing the warmest part of her fluffy underside. \n\n“You two are very open with each other. It’s quite beautiful to see.” Rodreck said gently. \n\n“Oh we do everything together.” Ruby replied. \n“And share everything as well.” Rubi added. \n\n“It’s wonderful to see siblings be so friendly.” Rodreck said while nodding to Albert. \n\nSmoothly, he ran his hands from her legs and over her rear. Like every other part of her body he covered her in oil, warmed up her muscles, and pressed just firm enough to make her tail flick. Like the flow of the tides his touch ran around and under, back and then forth until his hands ran across the inner seam of her leg. Ruby groaned happily, and so he continued. \n\nIt was a careful dance to run circles around Ruby’s sex without directly touching it. His palm, his thumb, his fingers, they rubbed from her thighs to her buttocks, from hips to stomach, every motion an inch away from where Ruby wanted him to be. And then, he pulled back to the base of her tail. One hand lingered, his palm pressing on the base of her tail while his thumb held it in place. The other however continued to slide down until he reached the one spot untouched by his presence. Ruby gasped, and so did Rubi as Albert found his mark. \n\nNow that he had confirmed beyond all doubt what the girls were wanting he did not hold himself back from finishing his work. By using his arm to hold her tail to the side he moved it down to get both involved. Ruby’s legs were parted wider and she let out a full body shudder as Rodreck touched her in three different places at the same time. \nHer back arched, and her eyes rolled. By chance her eyes fell on Rubi who had just done the same and as their gazes locked, they felt themselves melt. Together they breathed deep before giving themselves to the moment. \n\nRodreck pressed on all the right places, his fingers slick from tip to knuckle and yet it did not impede him in the slightest. Ruby was so soft and so yielding to his methods that when he finally pushed two of his fingers into her, they went in smoothly. No resistance was found and no force was needed.\n\nThe minutes came and went as a blur as the girls very quickly came to understand that they did not know their own bodies as much as they thought they did. While they had explored the outside of each other very intimately, they had never gone further than the length of their own fingers in depth. The furthest they had gone was with Tommy, and while he was a good size, his poking and prodding was worlds apart from what the skilled hands of a professional could do. \n\nSoon the fire inside them grew to a great blaze.\nTheir fingernails ran down the plush table they were laying on, and dug into the spongy material. The Rubies let out a soft caw, and rubbed their heels together as they let themselves boil over.\n\nThe world went white. \nTime passed. \n\nWhen the Rubies woke up they found themselves laying on the table still. The room was empty but the music was still playing. Rubi looked over to his sister and found that she was also awake. \n\n“Hey.” Rubi said softly.\n“Hey.” Ruby replied.\n\nSlowly and ever so gently the two pulled themselves up. They found that the oil on their bodies had mostly dried but now felt sticky. Not that either of them cared. Every inch of their bodies felt light and loose, relaxed beyond measure. Ruby was the first to stand up off the table but her legs wobbled and she found herself clinging to the edge. \n\n“So it’s not a myth.” Rubi laughed as she tried to stand as well. \n\nThe girls turned their head to the door and then rolled them around. Meeting up together, the girls put an arm around each other for balance. Casually they grabbed their robes from the floor as they walked over to the door. As they approached a knock rang out. A second later and they opened the door to find Jasmine standing just outside. \n\n“Hey.” Ruby said to her. \n\n“Are you ready for the Sauna?” Jasmine asked.\n\n“Yeah.” Rubi replied.\n“Lead on.” Ruby added.\n\nSlowly they followed Jasmine, who led them away from the Parlour and back towards the gardens. Along the way they kept close to each other, with a hand wrapped around the other, and the occasional bump of hip against hip. \n\n“Did you two enjoy yourselves?” She asked.\n\n“Mmm, best we’ve ever had.” Ruby said slowly. \n“Nice of them to let us sleep as well.” Rubi added.\n\n“I am glad to hear you enjoyed your time.” Jasmine said with relief in her voice. \n\nOnce they had reached the gardens again, Jasmine took a turn and headed down a different route. A short walk later and they found themselves entering into yet another large room. This one had a lot of marble and some waterfalls running down the walls, as well as a large pool of bubbling water in the middle of the room. \n\nWalking past the pool and its bathing customers, they went to another private side room which was panelled in rich, dark, wood. A row of doors along the wall were all labelled as saunas, while a glass door at the far end had a sign warning of cold temperatures.\n\n“A good sweat is perfect after a long massage. After you are done, you can refresh yourself with the rain tunnel or the showers over there.” Jasmine explained. “I do have to mention, please don’t stay in the sauna for longer than 20 minutes.” \n\n“Don’t worry, we’ve done this before.” Ruby said. \n“Could you get us a pitcher of juice? Extra ice, extra sour, delivered to the gardens for when we are done?” Rubi asked. “Some food would be good as well.” \n\n“Of course, I will have a table ready for when you arrive.” Jasmine asked. \n\n“Cool.” Ruby replied as she pulled open the door. \n“Cya later, Jazzy.” Rubi joked as she waltzed inside. \n\nRuby entered the sauna as well, and closed the door behind her. \nAfter taking their robes off and hanging them up on hooks near the door, the two sat themselves down at the far end of the wooden benches. They let out a sigh as the dry heat soaked into them. And as they began to sweat, the dried oil covering their feathers was slowly washed away. It was refreshing but their fatigue from so many intensive treatments was starting to grow.\n\nAfter around ten minutes the two stepped out of the sauna. Their legs were soft and their bodies felt light. It was not just relaxation, but tiredness. Ruby stretched her arms out but she could barely throw them into the air before she lost feeling in her joints. Rubi shook the sweat from her hair and turned her blurry eyes to the glass doors across the room. \nSlowly they stumbled over. The two girls both helped to pull open one of the glass doors before slipping inside together. Ahead of them were two corridors, the one on the left had an entrance sign overhead and arrows pointed to it, while the one on the right was labelled as the exit. They could smell fresh water in here already, and hear the pitter and patter of rain in the distance. \n\nAs they headed into the left corridor they found that the floor was covered in soft sand. The lights as well quickly grew dim. After entering into the darkness they found themselves standing ignorant of another set of glass doors, but these ones did not have handles. A green light on the wall nearby illuminated a large button. \n\nThe Rubies looked at each other, neither of them sure what was about to happen.\nHolding hands with each other, Ruby learned over and pressed the button. The glass doors slid open smoothly and they stepped inside. Suddenly a crack of light streaked across the black ceiling and the sound of thunder rolled passed a second later. As the doors behind them closed, the two continued on curiously into the dark. \n\nSuddenly another crack of fake lighting rang out, and a burst of freezing water showered down from above. The two gasped and grasped each other’s hands tighter. They walked some steps before coming to a halt as their hearts kicked up a beat and a rush of head spinning energy ran up their bodies. From the dark a gust of wind blew past them, followed by another streak of lightning.\n\nOverwhelmed with the noise and freezing water they ran forward and found that the rain grew colder and heavier the further they went in. All the while flickers of light danced around them. They soon stepped into a round room and they were in awe. It looked like they were standing in the middle of a thundercloud during a terrible storm. It was freezing cold, with harsh winds and loud rumblings of thunder. But they loved it. The wind blew up their tail feathers and ruffled them in ways that made their once numb legs tense and shake with new found strength. \n\nExcitement stabbed them deep, and they found the sleepy fatigue bleeding away.\n\nContinuing forward they picked up speed and soon found themselves running out of the tunnel and back into the private area of the saunas. They shuddered from head to foot, a tipsy laugh escaping their wet beaks as they felt alive. Rubi let go off her sister as she ran forward and threw her hands into the air. She bounced around and shook her wet hair from her eyes as if she was rocking out to some unheard band.\n\n“That was fucking awesome.” Rubi called out to her sister. \n\n“I think I am having a heart attack.” Ruby screamed in reply before tossing her head back and letting out a wild laugh. Throwing her head forward again she shook the water from her hair and then suddenly dashed forward. She grabbed Rubi’s hand and began to spin her around, the two of them laughing wildly as they hopped and jumped around. Once they started to get dizzy they pulled each other close in a tight, naked, and cold hug. The warmth of each other’s bodies was delightful in comparison. \n\nThey took a moment to dry off using the complimentary towels before wrapping their now extra warm robes around themselves one last time. With hunger replacing their fatigue, the two leisurely made their way down to the gardens where Jasmine was waiting. She waved to them and led them to a private section of the gardens that had two recliners, a table with a tall pitcher of ice cold juice, and a small cold pool of fresh mineral water nearby. \n\n“Are you ready for the food or should I come back later?” \nJasmine asked politely. \n\n“A moment to rest would be nice.” Ruby replied.\n“Quite. Give us half an hour if you please.” Rubi added.\n“And send your cutest waiter as well.” Ruby spoke up.\n\nJasmine gave them a nod and left without a word. \nNow alone again they tucked their robes away in a corner of their private gardens before laying down on the recliners. The sun was rising high now and felt delightful on their bare feathers. From the side table they each took a pair of sunglasses. Rubi as well took a sip of the extra sour lemonade. She sighed and shook the sour from her head before putting her hands behind her head and relaxing. Ruby meanwhile had started to rub herself firmly. She spread her legs out wide and ruffled her tail feathers before getting comfortable. \n\n“Still wanting more?” Rubi asked her.\n“Just… Scratching an itch. All this sun and sweat has left me fluffed.” Ruby replied.\n“Mmm. I would not mind getting a good scratch myself.” Rubi mused. \n\nDazed by their relaxation the two sipped their lemonade and bathed in the sun without realising how much time had passed. Before they knew it a rather handsome young zebra turned up in their corner of the garden. Still naked, and shiny with sweat from the sun bathing, the two turned their eyes to him with intent. \n\n“What can I do for you today?” He asked while trying to keep his eyes to himself. \n\n“Something filling would be delightful.” Ruby said to him.\n“But perhaps you could help us first?” Rubi asked. \n“We have an itch that we can not quite reach.” Ruby continued. \n\n“I would be happy to help.” The young man replied. \n\nThe girls giggled softly. \nRuby licked her beak while looking him over. Rubi meanwhile sat herself up and pulled her sunglasses above her head. She looked at him with her strong red eyes with such specific desire that the zebra broke out into a sweat. \n\nBy the end of that day, the spa had made more money from the two girls than what they would have made serving twenty different average customers. Everybody had gotten generous tips and the girls were boosted straight to gold members of the VIP spa club. They left completely satisfied and ready to tackle not just the big party tomorrow but the coming week ahead of them. ",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Sleep can leave you as quickly as it can find you.<br />For the twins, they were deep into a restful sleep when suddenly they woke with a snap. Rubi pulled her head off the coffee table and quickly realised that she was still in the treehouse. Her sister meanwhile was laying flat on the sofa. She groaned and stretched her stiff back into a more reasonable shape before rolling her head around to loosen it up further. Her eyes were dry but clear.<br /><br />Turning her face towards the fan that had been running all night, she let the cool air waft over her hair and feathers for some time. Rubi&rsquo;s body felt heavy but clean, the heat and sweat of days prior feeling like a memory already. <br /><br />Rubi yawned and clicked her beak a few times before turning to her sister and giving her a nudge. Ruby turned her head around and let out a groan but she woke up just as fast as Rubi had. Pulling herself up straight, she stretched out her legs and cracked her back before relaxing. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hungry?&rdquo; Rubi asked as she took the glass of leftover water from the table.<br />&ldquo;Not too much.&rdquo; Ruby replied as she continued to stretch. <br /><br />Rubi drank some of the stale water and placed the glass back onto the table.<br /><br />&ldquo;Shall we get breakfast in town, before the spa?&rdquo; Ruby then asked.<br />&ldquo;That sounds delightful.&rdquo; Rubi nodded as she rubbed her neck. <br /><br />The two took a minute to clean up the table and treehouse before leaving and heading back down to the main house. After sending their chef a message about the changes to breakfast, and a message to Ford that they were nearly ready to leave, the two changed into a fresh set of clothes together. Feeling more and more awake as the minutes ticked on, the two girls skipped down the stairs and left towards the limo parked out front. <br /><br />&ldquo;Good morning.&rdquo; Ruby chirped happily as she ducked into the limo&rsquo;s open door.<br />&ldquo;We are quite excited to see the town proper.&rdquo; Rubi added as she joined her sister. <br /><br />&ldquo;The journey will not be too long. Please make yourself comfortable.&rdquo; Ford replied. <br /><br />He closed the door behind them and the two settled down nicely onto the comfortable seats. Rubi spread herself out and rested her head on the cold leather while Ruby shifted her way over to the bar built across from the seats. She cracked her fingers and began to put together a drink. A bit of strawberry, lime, some ice and a pinch of fizzy powder for a kick. Ruby took a sip and let out a pleasant sigh as the cold and sour flavours refreshed her body and mind.<br /><br />Ruby handed her glass to her sister before turning back to make herself one. <br />Rubi took a sip as well and she too sighed pleasantly. Together the two sisters sat in peace, quietly enjoying each other&rsquo;s presence and drinks alike as the small limo continued to travel down the road and towards the more densely built urban centres. <br /><br />&ldquo;Should we check on the team before we arrive?&rdquo; Ruby asked.<br />&ldquo;They will be fine without us for a day.&rdquo; Rubi replied. <br />&ldquo;True, a day all to ourselves does sound good.&rdquo; Ruby nodded. <br /><br />The two tapped their glasses together before drinking the lot. <br />They shuddered pleasurably as the sour cold ran through them and then they giggled as the fizz tickled their throats. They savoured it for a moment before putting the glasses away and getting their phones out. <br /><br />With this being the first trip into town, they needed directions and ideas on where to go. While it was true that a local&rsquo;s experience can help with both, there was something equally fun with figuring it out together instead. With the wonders of technology as well, it was not hard to explore a new city anymore. They brought up a map of the local area, one that was updated daily with information on every shop, every road, the weather and traffic flow, delays and dangers. They could even filter for whatever they wanted in just a few clicks. <br /><br />&ldquo;This cafe looks lovely. East Aliva food, and such a cosy look.&rdquo; Rubi piped up.<br />She showed her phone and the cafe&rsquo;s page to her sister.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always wanted to try a traditionally made croissant. But it&rsquo;s so close to the city centre that it would surely be very busy.&rdquo; Ruby replied. &ldquo;How about this one? It&rsquo;s a bit further away and on a side street, but the reviews are excellent and it has such a lovely atmosphere.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;It does look nice. But there is this one over here too that does North Aliva food, and they have a giant fish tank!&rdquo; Rubi chirped back excitedly. Ruby&rsquo;s eyes lit up at the look of such a thing too. <br /><br />The two continued to scroll and search and soon they realised that outside of cafes there were even more places to sit and eat. As the choices expanded and the list ran ever longer the two became increasingly doubtful. <br /><br />&ldquo;Who would think that choice is a form of torture.&rdquo; Ruby said as she rubbed her head. <br />&ldquo;Perhaps the Spa has a cafe inside?&rdquo; Rubi sighed as she continued to scroll. <br /><br />Ruby suddenly stopped her searching. An idea coming to mind.<br /><br />&ldquo;What about the nearest cafe instead?&rdquo; Ruby suggested.<br />&ldquo;The second nearest, so that it&rsquo;s quieter?&rdquo; Rubi added. <br />&ldquo;That sounds perfect, let&rsquo;s see here&hellip;&rdquo; Ruby said as she looked over the map. &ldquo;South Alvia style food with a traditional flair. They even have that proper white and red stonework made by native craftsmen. How quaint.&rdquo; Ruby mused happily. <br /><br />For a time the two continued to search over the local area and all the many activities and locations that it had on offer. Soon enough however the limo took one final turn before coming to a stop. The two got up and made their way outside to find themselves underground. This subterranean parking lot stretched on far and wide in so many directions, and yet it was not dark. High tech sun tunnels dotted the ceiling, each one allowing natural sunlight to flood the underground space. <br /><br />&ldquo;Do you know where you are going?&rdquo; Ford asked politely. <br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, we have maps.&rdquo; Ruby replied. <br />&ldquo;We will phone you if we need help.&rdquo; Rubi added. <br /><br />&ldquo;I will be here if you need me.&rdquo; Ford replied with a tip of his cap. <br />As the twins left, Ford returned to the front of the limo where he had his own TV to occupy his time. <br /><br />The twins walked over to the nearest elevator and took a look at the brightly coloured map painted across the wall. It was intriguing, this underground parking lot was actually much bigger than they first thought as it stretched beneath dozens of the above buildings. Dotted all across this underground space were Oases, larger pillars that had elevators heading up to the surface, as well as maps and benches to rest. <br /><br />&ldquo;How ingenious of a design.&rdquo; Ruby mused as she took a photo with her phone. <br />&ldquo;Seems we are quite near to the spa if we take this elevator.&rdquo; Rubi pointed out. <br />&ldquo;I wonder where the elevator will come out.&rdquo; Ruby added. <br /><br />With a skip they headed into the elevators and waited as it pulled them up to the surface.<br />As they stepped out of the metal box they found themselves in a completely different world than the underground or the suburbs. They could not help but marvel at the local architecture of Pardon. It was a beautiful mix of the industrial styles that North Aliva was historically famous for, and the artistically elegant nature of East Aliva. Red bricks, and sleek white stone, strong shapes contrasting smooth curves. Like a well sculpted and powerful body clad in the finest and thinnest of silks. Or rather, a powerful masculine presence wrapped in a lusciously feminine form. Truly, Pardon was the City of Love after all. <br /><br />With Ruby taking the lead with the map, and Rubi keeping an eye out so she did not run into errant poles or passing people, they travelled across the roads and past dense structures before finally finding the cafe hidden away in a small passage. This dimly lit roadway was nestled between two giant buildings but the shade had not diminished the businesses at all. There were people walking past and talking, the air smelled beautifully rich with baking bread. The biggest difference however was that it was indeed much quieter than the rest of the larger main streets. <br /><br />After slipping past the few people on the sidewalks, the twins found the cafe they were searching for and entered inside. It was warm, and smelled sweetly of coffee and cakes alike. Their talons tapped on the refreshingly cold stone floor as they found a table near a window and made themselves comfortable. <br /><br />Looking over the menu they found themselves once again spoiled for choice. The drinks menu alone ran long down the back side of the menu, while the breakfast section had several things that they had never even heard of before. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hola, what can I get you two to drink today?&rdquo; A tall Genet woman asked warmly. <br /><br />&ldquo;Could we get two Cranberry Sangrias?&rdquo; Rubi asked.<br />&ldquo;With the tomato and cheese on toast?&rdquo; Ruby added. <br /><br />The woman cracked a wide and amused grin.<br />&ldquo;Sure thing, anything else?&rdquo; She asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;That will do.&rdquo; Ruby said. <br />&ldquo;We are going to the Spa soon.&rdquo; Rubi added. <br /><br />&ldquo;That sounds lovely. Won&rsquo;t be long.&rdquo; She said before turning fluffy tail and heading away. <br /><br />&ldquo;What a nice place this is.&rdquo; Rubi mused as she looked around the cafe. <br />&ldquo;We really should come into the city more often.&rdquo; Ruby nodded. <br />&ldquo;Quite, we have friends now as well to entertain&rdquo; Rubi added.<br />&ldquo;Oh, maybe we should take a photo or two for them?&rdquo; Ruby suggested.<br />&ldquo;Delightful idea.&rdquo; Rubi replied as she leaned closer. Her knee knocked against her sister&rsquo;s leg and her gaze softened. &ldquo;Do you think they would enjoy any other photos we have?&rdquo; Rubi said quieter. <br /><br />Her sister giggled and pressed her leg against her sisters. <br /><br />&ldquo;Best not to give them too much all at once.&rdquo; Ruby whispered back.<br />&ldquo;A little taste to get them interested, hm?&rdquo; Rubi replied softly. <br /><br />&ldquo;Here you are!&rdquo; A familiar voice said as the woman returned. <br /><br />The two leaned away from each other and turned their attention to her as she placed down two surprisingly big glasses of juice. They were deep red in colour and each had both a handful of chopped fruit pieces and crushed ice. <br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you very much.&rdquo; Rubi said. <br />&ldquo;Will the food be coming soon?&rdquo; Ruby then asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Not too much longer.&rdquo; She replied. &ldquo;And, if you don&rsquo;t mind me asking. Do you two always speak like that?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, yes. We&rsquo;ve always been quite in sync.&rdquo; Rubi replied. <br />&ldquo;So much so that we forgot it&rsquo;s odd to hear.&rdquo; Ruby added. <br />&ldquo;Although, it can be amusing to see the reactions.&rdquo; They both said together. <br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s amazing. You swap between each other&#039;s sentences at just the right time, and because you sound exactly the same, it sounds like one person is talking even though you are switching back and forth.&rdquo; The woman thought out loud. &ldquo;Ah, my apologies, I was rambling.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Worry not, we quite enjoy talking to new people.&rdquo; Ruby nodded. <br /><br />&ldquo;I will be right back.&rdquo; She said before once again leaving. <br /><br />The twins sipped their drinks and as the sour taste hit them they clicked their beaks and shook their heads from side to side. It was stronger than expected but also deeply refreshing, the chunks of fruit as well was a nice extra once the drink was gone. <br /><br />Another moment passed and the women once again returned but this time with a plate. She placed it onto the table and wished them a nice morning before going to tend to other customers. The girls each took a piece of the wide toast and gave it a peck. Ruby hummed pleasantly while Rubi murmured pleasurably. The sun dried tomatoes and sharp cheese were delicious while the olive oil fried bread worked perfectly with the flavours. <br /><br />Not a word passed between them as they enjoyed their meal and basked in the warm ambiance of the cafe. It was not long before the toast had been packed into crumbs and the juice ran dry. Satisfied with the fresh and nutritious nature of their breakfast they sat back and rested for a minute more, until the allure of the spa started to pull on them once again. <br /><br />Getting up, they headed to the main counter and bid the waitress a nice day in the form of a 40% tip as they paid for the meal. Leaving the Redstone cafe, they made their way out of the sideroad and back onto the main street. Ruby looked over the map and found that the spa was directly to the left and down the road. As they began to follow the path they began to realise that the building to their left, as well as the fenced off gardens and foundation, were in fact all one business. <br /><br />They soon stood before a marble archway that had the words, ``Paradise Falls&rdquo; written across it with vibrant blue stone. They checked the map again just to be sure before entering and going up to the large set of double glass doors at the front of the building. Ruby looked down the long marbled side of the building to the right and Rubi looked down the long grassy side of the building to the left, and then they looked at each other.<br /><br />&ldquo;This is a big spa.&rdquo; The Rubies said together. <br /><br />Turning their gaze to the doors, they approached and the doors opened automatically. The inside was a large, temperate, waiting room and reception area. The far walls to the left and right were gentle waterfalls while the huge skylight above flooded the room with natural sunshine. There was a calming feeling to this room, a peaceful energy that had the two girls relaxing without even realising it. <br /><br />Unknown to them, they were being watched.<br />Tabathia was also here and she had noticed the two stumble in almost instantly. She noticed that they were not carrying any sort of bag, nor holding any sort of clothing. She smirked. <br />&ldquo;Those two don&rsquo;t even know how long it takes to get an appointment. At this time of the morning they will be waiting for hours to get in.&rdquo; She thought to herself. <br /><br />Going up to the reception desk they found a single young frog girl working behind it. She had a rather bored look to her and seemed to not be paying attention to anything. <br />Her name tag read, Marci. <br /><br />&ldquo;Good morning.&rdquo; Rubi said. <br />&ldquo;Could you help us?&rdquo; Ruby asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Is this your first time visiting a spa?&rdquo; Marci asked dryly. <br /><br />&ldquo;Not at all, but this one is much bigger.&rdquo; Ruby explained.<br />&ldquo;We are not sure where to start.&rdquo; Rubi added.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fill these out.&rdquo; Marci said as she placed two clipboards with forms on the counter top. Ruby picked both of them up. &ldquo;The information is needed to know what treatments are right for you, we also need parental permissions for some of the packages. Come back once they are done.&rdquo; Marci explained.<br /><br />&ldquo;I just finished, here you go.&rdquo; Ruby said as she placed one of the clipboards back onto the counter top, she began to then write down the same information quickly on her own board. <br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, let me take a look then&hellip;&rdquo; Marci sighed as she picked up the clipboard. Suddenly her eyes went wide and she let out a nervous hiccup. &ldquo;Hivally, twin Hivally girls&hellip;&rdquo; She muttered before straightening up and putting on a very wide smile. &ldquo;Welcome to Paradise Falls! We are here to tend to all your needs and make sure your body, mind and soul are pristine.&rdquo; She said smoothly before turning her eyes across the room and waving her hand frantically to someone for a moment. &ldquo;What can we do to make your day excellent?&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;In the mountains we liked to enjoy the hot springs and get a massage.&rdquo; Rubi siad.<br />&ldquo;As well as a brisk walk through the snow to cool off.&rdquo; Ruby added as she finished her forms.<br /><br />&ldquo;Delightful, but we have many more facilities for you to enjoy. The luxury Avain package I feel would be perfect, here I will let my assistant here take care of you personally.&rdquo; Marci said while writing something down onto another clipboard. At the same, another, younger frog girl came running over.<br /><br />&ldquo;H-hello?&rdquo; She said, confused. <br /><br />&ldquo;These two lovely flowers are Rubi and Ruby of the Hivally.&rdquo; Marci said to her. <br />Her assistant went from confused to panicked at the mere mention of their names. <br />&ldquo;This is my assistant, Jasmine. She will be taking care of your VIP package today.&rdquo; Marci said as she pushed a clipboard into Jasmine&#039;s hands. <br /><br />&ldquo;Assistent?&rdquo; Jasmine said before nodding. &ldquo;Yes, I am the assistant. I shall assist.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Nice to meet you.&rdquo; Ruby said politely.<br />&ldquo;We are in your care.&rdquo; Rubi said cutely. <br /><br />&ldquo;If you follow me I will get you two situated.&rdquo; Jasmine said nervously. <br /><br />As they walked away from the reception desk however they found themselves blocked by Tabathia, who did not look happy in the slightest. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been waiting 30 minutes for my appointment, why do they get to go ahead of me?&rdquo; <br />She whined. <br /><br />&ldquo;We had a last minute opening for them.&rdquo; Jasmine replied nicely. <br /><br />&ldquo;Do you wanna join us?&rdquo; Ruby asked.<br />&ldquo;We are getting full body massages and a sauna.&rdquo; Rubi said playfully. <br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t need handouts.&rdquo; Tabathia huffed before stomping off to the desk. <br /><br />&ldquo;A-apologies for that.&rdquo; Jasmine stammered before continuing.<br /><br />She led the girls to a much smaller room near the main waiting area that had cabinets on one side of the room, and benches on the other side, with the two divided by open curtains. <br /><br />&ldquo;This is our private dressing room, before we continue I just need to get some specifics of what your visit here will entail if that is alright?&rdquo; Jasmine asked. <br /><br />&ldquo;Of course.&rdquo; Rubi spoke first.<br />&ldquo;As we said before, we used to get massages and a hot water soak in the past.&rdquo; Ruby added.<br />&ldquo;But we hear that you have many more options here?&rdquo; Rubi then continued. <br /><br />&ldquo;Ah yes. W-we suggest the full Avian package, it starts off with a hot sand soak, followed by a mineral massage and then a sauna. We provide drinks and on-call service during the whole experience.&rdquo; Jasmine explained.<br /><br />&ldquo;May we change or add to this?&rdquo; Rubi asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course, the packages are simply a guide.&rdquo; Jasmine nodded.<br /><br />&ldquo;The hot sand soak sounds wonderful, we&rsquo;ve not done that before. Do you offer cryotherapy options? We loved walking through the snow after the hot springs in the mountains.&rdquo; Ruby asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes we do, there is a rain tunnel near the north saunas for just such an occasion.&rdquo; <br />Jasmine replied. <br /><br />&ldquo;Wonderful, we prefer sour drinks when relaxing but we&rsquo;ve had a lot already so will keep that for after we are done with the sauna in you please.&rdquo; Rubi said. <br /><br />&ldquo;Of course. Now, normally you would bring your own swimwear and robes to the spa but we do have rental options. For the hot sand soak as well you will need to wear special underwear, lest the sand get into sensitive areas.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Is natural allowed?&rdquo; Rubi asked.<br />&ldquo;It is how we did it in the mountains.&rdquo; Ruby added.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, we accept all forms. I must say I am impressed. Normally girls your age are more shy about that.&rdquo; Jasmine said as she opened up the cabinets and began to pull out fluffy bathrobes. <br /><br />&ldquo;We are quite mature for our age.&rdquo; Ruby said.<br />&ldquo;And we know what we like.&rdquo; Rubi added. <br /><br />&ldquo;You will also need these, they allow you access to all our private rooms and special facilities.&rdquo; <br />Jasmine explained as she gave them two wristbands. <br /><br />After being handed the clothing, the two went to the other side of the room and pulled the curtain closed. They found that there were two things to wear. A bathrobe, which felt like a warm fluffy cloud, and a small pair of underwear that seemed too small for them. The twins threw off their dresses and underwear and tried on the ones given by Jasmine. They were small indeed but very stretchy.<br />The two girls let out a quiet moan and a pleasurable murmur as the tight spandex held their private areas snugly. The smooth feeling and skintight material felt uncomfortable for only a brief moment until it settled into shape. After a few stretches, it felt like a second skin clinging to them. <br /><br />&ldquo;Do you think they sell swimsuits with this material?&rdquo; Ruby asked.<br />&ldquo;Better question would be, would the school allow that?&rdquo; Rubi said.<br /><br />The two let out a quiet giggle before throwing the bathrobes over themselves and tying the cord around their waist. The two let out a pleasant murmur as the feeling of the luxuriously fluffy fabric hugged their slender bodies and tickled their feathers in pleasurable ways. <br />Opening the curtain, they stepped out with their clothes folded up in their hands. <br /><br />&ldquo;We have a locker for your belongings.&rdquo; Jasmine said as she opened the door for them.<br /><br />Following her down the hall they entered another room that had dozens of lockers. Jasmine pulled a keycard out of one of them and the door opened on its own. Once the twins had put everything inside, she showed them how to lock the door, before nervously handing the keyboard to Ruby. <br /><br />&ldquo;Now, if you follow me I will show you to the hot tubs.&rdquo; Jasmine said politely. <br /><br />&ldquo;Lead on.&rdquo; Rubi replied.<br /><br />They left the changing rooms and headed down a well lit hallway towards the west side of the facility. After a few turns they came across a set of glass doors. Ruby lifted her wristband up to the device next to the door, and with a click it opened. They entered to find a large round room that had many flowering plants all across the walls, and a small river cutting across the middle. The twins followed Jasmine over a tiny bridge to where several wide and bubbling pools were located. Curious, Ruby ran her hand across the surface and found that it was not water but extremely fine sand.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not as hot as a hot tub but it&rsquo;s quite warm.&rdquo; Ruby mused.<br />&ldquo;There is hot air being pumped through?&rdquo; Rubi asked. <br /><br />&ldquo;Exactly, the air flows between the luxuriously fine sand and creates an odd substance that is neither solid nor liquid. Please make yourselves comfortable and let me know if you need anything.&rdquo; Jasmine said before giving a polite bow and quickly leaving.<br /><br />The twins slipped their bathrobes off and folded them up before placing them on the side. Both of the young girls chose to use the first of the many pools as each was quite wide and would be big enough to fit even two adults, let alone two teenagers. Ruby stood on one side and Rubi approached the other. Together they dipped their talons into the sand and together they smiled pleasantly. <br /><br />Stepping into the bath, they walked around in a small circle to get a feel for the sand before sitting down and facing each other in the middle. They paused and then broke out into crooked smiles as the flow of warm air the flowing currents tickled their feathers in an odd way but soon sighed as the sand massaged them from all directions. <br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not very hot.&rdquo; Rubi spoke up.<br />&ldquo;But maybe that&rsquo;s part of the charm?&rdquo; Ruby mused. <br /><br />The Rubies ran their arms through the soft sand, they crossed their legs together and took hold of each other&rsquo;s hands before pulling themselves closer. A sigh escaped them as they held each other closely, and stared into each other&rsquo;s eyes. Rubi started to notice the faint ambiance in the air, natural noises of the wind rustling leaves, the slight chirp of an insect. Ruby meanwhile could smell sweetness, lavender and well watered wild flowers in bloom. <br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not as intense as a hot bath.&rdquo; Rubi said quietly.<br />&ldquo;But it&rsquo;s so much more&hellip; Gentle.&rdquo; Ruby replied softly. <br /><br />They continued to watch each other as their slender fingers locked together and rubbed each other&rsquo;s hands gently. Their breathing slowed and they soon became still and silent as existence itself became comfortable. All of their thoughts drained away and the world turned black. For just a moment the girls found serenity in the empty space between them, and then like ripples, new thoughts began to appear. <br /><br />&ldquo;Our plan to fix the cafeteria was made too soon.&rdquo; Rubi spoke up suddenly.<br />&ldquo;Starting with a big idea to get the company on the map is a good idea but risky and despite our heritage and education, we do lack experience. Especially with social connections and public relations.&rdquo; Ruby continued. <br />&ldquo;The school might listen to us due to our name but to convince them to take such a big financial risk would need credentials and prior proven results.&rdquo; Rubi spoke up next. <br />&ldquo;The logical thing would be to continue to develop our plans but slower so we could focus on smaller problems that will grow our company&rsquo;s name and reputation.&rdquo; Ruby added. <br /><br />The twins cracked their necks to the left, then to the right, before letting out a long sigh. <br />They then turned their gaze to the left to find Jasmine standing awkwardly. <br /><br />&ldquo;Everything alright?&rdquo; They asked together. <br /><br />Jasmine straightened up, nervousness clear across her features. <br />&ldquo;Y-yes. Your personal masseurs are ready when you are. Madams.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Wonderful.&rdquo; Ruby said before standing up alongside Rubi.<br />They shuddered and dust fell from them. <br /><br />&ldquo;Might I suggest the air showers.&rdquo; Jasmine said as she raised her arm. <br /><br />&ldquo;Could you carry our robes?&rdquo; Rubi asked as she stepped out of the sand pit. <br />&ldquo;We would hate to get them all dusty.&rdquo; Ruby continued with a swish of her tail. <br /><br />&ldquo;Of course.&rdquo; Jasmine replied quickly. <br /><br />She followed behind the twins as they walked over the small bridge to the other side of the room. Heading into a small side room they found several enclosed shower stalls. They stepped into one together and hit the simple button on the wall. Suddenly a flush of warm air swirled around them, the girls let out a surprised squark and then a string of giggles as the air took all the dust and sand and sucked it away. <br /><br />As they stepped out of the shower they felt cleaner than ever before. <br />They shook themselves from head to foot just to be sure, and also for the fun of it, before fixing their hair. Rubi then started to pull their stretchy underwear down, followed by Ruby. Jasmine suddenly turned herself around for modesty but then remembered she was holding their robes. <br /><br />Passing them behind herself, the two girls wrapped themselves into the soft fabric once again. This time however it felt even better. Their feathers were so smooth and sensitive that they could almost count the amount of threads each robe was using. <br /><br />&ldquo;This has been quite delightful so far.&rdquo; Ruby said to her sister. <br />&ldquo;Mmm, I am quite excited for the next part.&rdquo; Rubi replied. <br /><br />After dropping the stretchy underwear into a laundry chute at the back of the room they returned to Jasmine and followed her out in the main hallway, where she paused. <br /><br />&ldquo;If you follow the hallway a-all the way down you will find the massage parlour. You will be using the private room, 02b today. If you would excuse me I have some&hellip; Important matters to&hellip; Do.&rdquo; Jasmine said before sharply heading in the opposite direction. <br /><br />&ldquo;What a nice lady.&rdquo; Ruby said as they headed down the hall.<br /><br />Jasmine quickly power walked down the hall before taking a turn into a storage closet. <br />She pulled out a walkie talkie hidden in her clothes and changed the channel on it. <br /><br />&ldquo;Rodreck, Albert, pick up quickly. Over.&rdquo; Jasmine whispered. <br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re here, what&rsquo;s up Jazzy?&rdquo; A chill voice spoke up from the other side.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok, ok, listen. Those two girls that are coming your way. You need to treat them maturely, like adults. Really stressed and confident adults who do meditation and might just own the school they go to. Or us. They might own us, I have not checked yet&hellip; Over.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Jazzy you know how you tend to sometimes get nervous about&hellip; Things.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t understand, they were doing mind rituals in the sand bath like those fancy executives do. And they were talking about a company that they own, they own a company Rodreck! You need to treat them like the beautiful, terrifyingly naked, CEOs they are. Oh god it&rsquo;s like my mother is visiting again.&rdquo; Jasmine whined. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, Jazzy, it&rsquo;s Albert. Just wanted to ask if you could breathe before you spit your tongue.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Albert, please, if we don&rsquo;t get a perfect review from those two then Madam Alice is going to lose her mind. You know what she is like, she will turn both of you into new bathrobes.&rdquo; Jasmine shouted. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, hey, we get it. Rich, important, full service with a smile. Ain&rsquo;t our first rub.&rdquo; Rodreck replied. &ldquo;Over.&rdquo; He then added with a smirk. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the twins had just finished their leisurely walk down the seemingly endless hallways of the Spa&rsquo;s gardens and heated pools. The massage parlour they found was a large comfortably decorated room that connected to many other smaller rooms. There were several people in here all in bathrobes just relaxing in their own ways. <br /><br />Following the signs, the Rubies entered into the exclusive section of the parlour and quickly found their room. They paused in front of the door for a moment and checked to see if anyone else was around.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ready?&rdquo; The Rubies said.<br /><br />They giggled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like we are.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ruby said as her sister composed herself. <br /><br />Stepping inside the two was immediately washed away by the ambiance. The air was rich with the sweet and woody smells of burning incense, as well as a slight tinge of lavender oil. The lights were turned down just a touch to make the hallways outside feel bright in comparison. There was soft ambient music as well. Something without lyrics and noticeable instruments that was designed not to be heard but to occupy the inner mind. <br /><br />Sitting on the two tables in the middle of the room were two tall, handsome and topless Racoon men. Their arms were sculpted, with big hands and yet delicate looking fingers. They too smelled like lavender. <br /><br />&ldquo;You two must be the lovely bouquets that we were expecting.&rdquo; One of them spoke up. <br /><br />&ldquo;I am Rodreck. And he is Alberto. We will be taking care of your needs today.&rdquo; Rodreck purred. <br /><br />&ldquo;I am Ruby, with a Y.&rdquo; Ruby said.<br />&ldquo;And I am Rubi with an I.&rdquo; Rubi continued.<br />&ldquo;And we are looking forward to your touch.&rdquo; They said together. <br /><br />The girls stepped forward and in one swift motion dropped their bathrobes onto the ground. They stopped in front of the tables, Ruby&rsquo;s left hand on her hip, while Rubi had her right hand on her own. <br /><br />&ldquo;Mind if we get comfortable?&rdquo; Ruby asked with a sweet smile.<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course Madams.&rdquo; Rodreck replied as he and his partner got off the tables. <br />They moved back to the food rest and tried to stand casually as the twins waltzed up and sat themselves down. As they got themselves comfortable, Albert looked over to Rodreck. <br /><br />&ldquo;Jazzy was not kidding about them. Damn.&rdquo; He mouthed silently to Rodreck. <br /><br />&ldquo;Keep cool and follow my lead.&rdquo; Rodreck then mouthed back. <br /><br />The two split off and took to the tables. Albert stood over Rubi, while Rodreck went for her sister. They rubbed their hands together to warm up before placing them on the backs of the young girls. <br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be too gentle now.&rdquo; Rubi spoke up.<br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not our first time in this position.&rdquo; Ruby added on. <br /><br />Albert shot a surprised and amazed look to Rodreck who nodded understandingly in return. <br /><br />&ldquo;Now, now. When it comes to such matters, I find it is important to start&hellip; Slow.&rdquo; Rodreck said quietly to the girls as he ran his hands down to the middle of Ruby&rsquo;s back. Albert followed suit not even a second later for Rubi. &ldquo;You have to get a lay of the land. Feel what needs attention, and where to direct your energy.&rdquo; <br /><br />The two girls let out a soft coo as they continued to work their way down. <br />Once they got to the base of the girl&rsquo;s tails, the twins brushed their long feathers to the side. Now draped over the side of the table, the men had full access to them. Head to talon. Rodreck ran his hands down past her waist and all the way to her ankles before rubbing back up to her thighs. Albert meanwhile continued to keep the same pace. <br /><br />&ldquo;You have a lot of tension, quite the busy week?&rdquo; Rodreck asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mhm, new school.&rdquo; Rubi spoke up.<br />&ldquo;New friends.&rdquo; Ruby added.<br />&ldquo;And boyfriends.&rdquo; Rubi grinned. <br />&ldquo;New experiences are as fun as they are, tiring.&rdquo; Ruby then said. <br /><br />&ldquo;Mm, relax. We will make all that stress melt away.&rdquo; Albert spoke up. <br /><br />&ldquo;Good job.&rdquo; Rodreck mouthed to him. <br /><br />&ldquo;This is crazy.&rdquo; Albert mouthed back. <br /><br />The two men paused their rubbing to pour the warm, scented oil over the girls. They hummed and giggled from the feeling, the two gazing at each other as they both had the same lurid thoughts about the feeling of a warm and slick liquid running down their body. A gasp then escaped them as they felt the hands return, and press much firmer than before. <br /><br />Every motion felt like fire. <br />The Rubies stretched themselves out, legs widening and talons curling as the two men pressed into them in ways that they had never felt before. Surely it was the oil that was helping to deliver such an impeccable result but the girls were unable to think quite that clearly anymore. Like clay they were made soft by unyielding yet loving fingers, flattened out and spread thin under their palms before finally being reshaped. And that was just their shoulders. <br /><br />As their wonderful hands ran lower the girls found that the lower back was treated differently. Less pressure, less force, and instead they used long, sweeping, movements that ran down the length of them. They could feel their fingers running along their sides, and sometimes even the edges of their stomachs. The fire burning deeper and deeper with every pass. <br /><br />Rodreck and Albert worked to the very edge of their backs, to the base of the tail itself, but then as if to tease they moved past with barely a brush of a single finger. The girls could not complain however as they went straight to work on their thighs and upper legs. Unlike their bodies as well, the two men could lift their legs up and rub both sides as much as they wanted. The touch once again felt different, but incredibly pleasurable. <br /><br />&ldquo;You two are so much better than the, ah, the ones in Dendra.&rdquo; Ruby said absentmindedly. <br />&ldquo;Mmm, so much better with the hands and you don&rsquo;t miss a spot.&rdquo; Rubi added with a nod. <br /><br />&ldquo;It fills our hearts to hear such praises.&rdquo; Albert replied. <br /><br />&ldquo;We do hope you both will continue to give us what we need.&rdquo; Ruby mused. <br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not often we can find such talent like yours, after all.&rdquo; Rubi added. <br /><br />The two men looked at each other as they worked on the girl&rsquo;s lower legs. <br /><br />&ldquo;&lsquo;Special treatment?&rsquo;&rdquo; Alberto mouthed. <br /><br />Rodreck nodded. <br /><br />&ldquo;Let me try something.&rdquo; He mouthed back. <br /><br />Rodreck casually worked his way back up Ruby&rsquo;s legs, his touch lingering in a few spots as he made the young girl continue to let out little gasps and groans. Once he reached her thighs, he slowed and rubbed his way around and up until his knuckles were almost grazing the warmest part of her fluffy underside. <br /><br />&ldquo;You two are very open with each other. It&rsquo;s quite beautiful to see.&rdquo; Rodreck said gently. <br /><br />&ldquo;Oh we do everything together.&rdquo; Ruby replied. <br />&ldquo;And share everything as well.&rdquo; Rubi added. <br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s wonderful to see siblings be so friendly.&rdquo; Rodreck said while nodding to Albert. <br /><br />Smoothly, he ran his hands from her legs and over her rear. Like every other part of her body he covered her in oil, warmed up her muscles, and pressed just firm enough to make her tail flick. Like the flow of the tides his touch ran around and under, back and then forth until his hands ran across the inner seam of her leg. Ruby groaned happily, and so he continued. <br /><br />It was a careful dance to run circles around Ruby&rsquo;s sex without directly touching it. His palm, his thumb, his fingers, they rubbed from her thighs to her buttocks, from hips to stomach, every motion an inch away from where Ruby wanted him to be. And then, he pulled back to the base of her tail. One hand lingered, his palm pressing on the base of her tail while his thumb held it in place. The other however continued to slide down until he reached the one spot untouched by his presence. Ruby gasped, and so did Rubi as Albert found his mark. <br /><br />Now that he had confirmed beyond all doubt what the girls were wanting he did not hold himself back from finishing his work. By using his arm to hold her tail to the side he moved it down to get both involved. Ruby&rsquo;s legs were parted wider and she let out a full body shudder as Rodreck touched her in three different places at the same time. <br />Her back arched, and her eyes rolled. By chance her eyes fell on Rubi who had just done the same and as their gazes locked, they felt themselves melt. Together they breathed deep before giving themselves to the moment. <br /><br />Rodreck pressed on all the right places, his fingers slick from tip to knuckle and yet it did not impede him in the slightest. Ruby was so soft and so yielding to his methods that when he finally pushed two of his fingers into her, they went in smoothly. No resistance was found and no force was needed.<br /><br />The minutes came and went as a blur as the girls very quickly came to understand that they did not know their own bodies as much as they thought they did. While they had explored the outside of each other very intimately, they had never gone further than the length of their own fingers in depth. The furthest they had gone was with Tommy, and while he was a good size, his poking and prodding was worlds apart from what the skilled hands of a professional could do. <br /><br />Soon the fire inside them grew to a great blaze.<br />Their fingernails ran down the plush table they were laying on, and dug into the spongy material. The Rubies let out a soft caw, and rubbed their heels together as they let themselves boil over.<br /><br />The world went white. <br />Time passed. <br /><br />When the Rubies woke up they found themselves laying on the table still. The room was empty but the music was still playing. Rubi looked over to his sister and found that she was also awake. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hey.&rdquo; Rubi said softly.<br />&ldquo;Hey.&rdquo; Ruby replied.<br /><br />Slowly and ever so gently the two pulled themselves up. They found that the oil on their bodies had mostly dried but now felt sticky. Not that either of them cared. Every inch of their bodies felt light and loose, relaxed beyond measure. Ruby was the first to stand up off the table but her legs wobbled and she found herself clinging to the edge. <br /><br />&ldquo;So it&rsquo;s not a myth.&rdquo; Rubi laughed as she tried to stand as well. <br /><br />The girls turned their head to the door and then rolled them around. Meeting up together, the girls put an arm around each other for balance. Casually they grabbed their robes from the floor as they walked over to the door. As they approached a knock rang out. A second later and they opened the door to find Jasmine standing just outside. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hey.&rdquo; Ruby said to her. <br /><br />&ldquo;Are you ready for the Sauna?&rdquo; Jasmine asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah.&rdquo; Rubi replied.<br />&ldquo;Lead on.&rdquo; Ruby added.<br /><br />Slowly they followed Jasmine, who led them away from the Parlour and back towards the gardens. Along the way they kept close to each other, with a hand wrapped around the other, and the occasional bump of hip against hip. <br /><br />&ldquo;Did you two enjoy yourselves?&rdquo; She asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mmm, best we&rsquo;ve ever had.&rdquo; Ruby said slowly. <br />&ldquo;Nice of them to let us sleep as well.&rdquo; Rubi added.<br /><br />&ldquo;I am glad to hear you enjoyed your time.&rdquo; Jasmine said with relief in her voice. <br /><br />Once they had reached the gardens again, Jasmine took a turn and headed down a different route. A short walk later and they found themselves entering into yet another large room. This one had a lot of marble and some waterfalls running down the walls, as well as a large pool of bubbling water in the middle of the room. <br /><br />Walking past the pool and its bathing customers, they went to another private side room which was panelled in rich, dark, wood. A row of doors along the wall were all labelled as saunas, while a glass door at the far end had a sign warning of cold temperatures.<br /><br />&ldquo;A good sweat is perfect after a long massage. After you are done, you can refresh yourself with the rain tunnel or the showers over there.&rdquo; Jasmine explained. &ldquo;I do have to mention, please don&rsquo;t stay in the sauna for longer than 20 minutes.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, we&rsquo;ve done this before.&rdquo; Ruby said. <br />&ldquo;Could you get us a pitcher of juice? Extra ice, extra sour, delivered to the gardens for when we are done?&rdquo; Rubi asked. &ldquo;Some food would be good as well.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Of course, I will have a table ready for when you arrive.&rdquo; Jasmine asked. <br /><br />&ldquo;Cool.&rdquo; Ruby replied as she pulled open the door. <br />&ldquo;Cya later, Jazzy.&rdquo; Rubi joked as she waltzed inside. <br /><br />Ruby entered the sauna as well, and closed the door behind her. <br />After taking their robes off and hanging them up on hooks near the door, the two sat themselves down at the far end of the wooden benches. They let out a sigh as the dry heat soaked into them. And as they began to sweat, the dried oil covering their feathers was slowly washed away. It was refreshing but their fatigue from so many intensive treatments was starting to grow.<br /><br />After around ten minutes the two stepped out of the sauna. Their legs were soft and their bodies felt light. It was not just relaxation, but tiredness. Ruby stretched her arms out but she could barely throw them into the air before she lost feeling in her joints. Rubi shook the sweat from her hair and turned her blurry eyes to the glass doors across the room. <br />Slowly they stumbled over. The two girls both helped to pull open one of the glass doors before slipping inside together. Ahead of them were two corridors, the one on the left had an entrance sign overhead and arrows pointed to it, while the one on the right was labelled as the exit. They could smell fresh water in here already, and hear the pitter and patter of rain in the distance. <br /><br />As they headed into the left corridor they found that the floor was covered in soft sand. The lights as well quickly grew dim. After entering into the darkness they found themselves standing ignorant of another set of glass doors, but these ones did not have handles. A green light on the wall nearby illuminated a large button. <br /><br />The Rubies looked at each other, neither of them sure what was about to happen.<br />Holding hands with each other, Ruby learned over and pressed the button. The glass doors slid open smoothly and they stepped inside. Suddenly a crack of light streaked across the black ceiling and the sound of thunder rolled passed a second later. As the doors behind them closed, the two continued on curiously into the dark. <br /><br />Suddenly another crack of fake lighting rang out, and a burst of freezing water showered down from above. The two gasped and grasped each other&rsquo;s hands tighter. They walked some steps before coming to a halt as their hearts kicked up a beat and a rush of head spinning energy ran up their bodies. From the dark a gust of wind blew past them, followed by another streak of lightning.<br /><br />Overwhelmed with the noise and freezing water they ran forward and found that the rain grew colder and heavier the further they went in. All the while flickers of light danced around them. They soon stepped into a round room and they were in awe. It looked like they were standing in the middle of a thundercloud during a terrible storm. It was freezing cold, with harsh winds and loud rumblings of thunder. But they loved it. The wind blew up their tail feathers and ruffled them in ways that made their once numb legs tense and shake with new found strength. <br /><br />Excitement stabbed them deep, and they found the sleepy fatigue bleeding away.<br /><br />Continuing forward they picked up speed and soon found themselves running out of the tunnel and back into the private area of the saunas. They shuddered from head to foot, a tipsy laugh escaping their wet beaks as they felt alive. Rubi let go off her sister as she ran forward and threw her hands into the air. She bounced around and shook her wet hair from her eyes as if she was rocking out to some unheard band.<br /><br />&ldquo;That was fucking awesome.&rdquo; Rubi called out to her sister. <br /><br />&ldquo;I think I am having a heart attack.&rdquo; Ruby screamed in reply before tossing her head back and letting out a wild laugh. Throwing her head forward again she shook the water from her hair and then suddenly dashed forward. She grabbed Rubi&rsquo;s hand and began to spin her around, the two of them laughing wildly as they hopped and jumped around. Once they started to get dizzy they pulled each other close in a tight, naked, and cold hug. The warmth of each other&rsquo;s bodies was delightful in comparison. <br /><br />They took a moment to dry off using the complimentary towels before wrapping their now extra warm robes around themselves one last time. With hunger replacing their fatigue, the two leisurely made their way down to the gardens where Jasmine was waiting. She waved to them and led them to a private section of the gardens that had two recliners, a table with a tall pitcher of ice cold juice, and a small cold pool of fresh mineral water nearby. <br /><br />&ldquo;Are you ready for the food or should I come back later?&rdquo; <br />Jasmine asked politely. <br /><br />&ldquo;A moment to rest would be nice.&rdquo; Ruby replied.<br />&ldquo;Quite. Give us half an hour if you please.&rdquo; Rubi added.<br />&ldquo;And send your cutest waiter as well.&rdquo; Ruby spoke up.<br /><br />Jasmine gave them a nod and left without a word. <br />Now alone again they tucked their robes away in a corner of their private gardens before laying down on the recliners. The sun was rising high now and felt delightful on their bare feathers. From the side table they each took a pair of sunglasses. Rubi as well took a sip of the extra sour lemonade. She sighed and shook the sour from her head before putting her hands behind her head and relaxing. Ruby meanwhile had started to rub herself firmly. She spread her legs out wide and ruffled her tail feathers before getting comfortable. <br /><br />&ldquo;Still wanting more?&rdquo; Rubi asked her.<br />&ldquo;Just&hellip; Scratching an itch. All this sun and sweat has left me fluffed.&rdquo; Ruby replied.<br />&ldquo;Mmm. I would not mind getting a good scratch myself.&rdquo; Rubi mused. <br /><br />Dazed by their relaxation the two sipped their lemonade and bathed in the sun without realising how much time had passed. Before they knew it a rather handsome young zebra turned up in their corner of the garden. Still naked, and shiny with sweat from the sun bathing, the two turned their eyes to him with intent. <br /><br />&ldquo;What can I do for you today?&rdquo; He asked while trying to keep his eyes to himself. <br /><br />&ldquo;Something filling would be delightful.&rdquo; Ruby said to him.<br />&ldquo;But perhaps you could help us first?&rdquo; Rubi asked. <br />&ldquo;We have an itch that we can not quite reach.&rdquo; Ruby continued. <br /><br />&ldquo;I would be happy to help.&rdquo; The young man replied. <br /><br />The girls giggled softly. <br />Ruby licked her beak while looking him over. Rubi meanwhile sat herself up and pulled her sunglasses above her head. She looked at him with her strong red eyes with such specific desire that the zebra broke out into a sweat. <br /><br />By the end of that day, the spa had made more money from the two girls than what they would have made serving twenty different average customers. Everybody had gotten generous tips and the girls were boosted straight to gold members of the VIP spa club. They left completely satisfied and ready to tackle not just the big party tomorrow but the coming week ahead of them. </span>",
