Mr. and Mrs. Smith finished a dance and came over to the three surfers. “Okay, kids, you wielded a smart trick to get back on surfboard, so to speak, after apparently having failed. But your deed brings responsibility with it. Since you’ve had sex, we insist that you marry each other.”
“With pleasure,” said the twins.
Gwen intervened. “But if you treat one another as husband and wife, can you still regard each other as brother and sister?”
“You’re right to ask,” said Ashley. “Some pairs of siblings can only regard each other either as husband and wife or as brother and sister. I find that those people shouldn’t indulge in any incestuous sibling action lest it destroy their sibling relationship, which is a most wonderful bond. We two, however, have no problem with being married and siblings. Ashton’s always been my twin bro-bro and he always will.”
“And Ashley’s always been my twin sis-sis and she always will. As long as that remains untouched, what’s wrong with me additionally regarding her as my sexy wife?”
“Or with me additionally treating Ashton as my sexy husband?”
“Can siblings really love each other as siblings and as spouses?” said Gwen.
“Some can’t, but others can, us two included,” said the linked twins together.
“And do such sibling pairs really love one another romantically? Isn’t it just sexual attraction?”
“With what right do some people who for some reason or no reason dislike an erotic relationship simply write it off as only due to sexual attraction and devoid of romance? Yes, some siblings share an incestuous relationship only for sexual pleasure, but not all. No one has a right to wrongly accuse those siblings who truly love one another romantically of indulging in nothing but sexual gratification.”
“Alright, then good luck with your marriage,” said Gwen. “You’re lucky that all those old laws and norms which forbade incest are gone and that sibling marriage has been socially accepted.”
“Yeah, though we find it wrong that all forms of incest have been legalized.”
“Huh? Haven’t you just defended incest?”
Ashton said, “First of all, the kind of incest that we defend must be clean and aesthetic and be done by grownups who consent to it and don’t have partners on whom they cheat. Otherwise, they’d be doing something very wrong, yet not because it’s incest, but rather because it’s forced, involves cheating, involves minors, or is disgusting.”
“But things like rape are forbidden anyway, so what don’t you like about the current laws?” said Gwen.
Ashley answered, “I was about to say that. We defend sibling incest, and by extension cousin incest, of course. But parent-child incest and grandparent-grandchild incest, for example,” she shuddered at the mere mention of such monstrosities, and her twin shuddered in unison with her, “are absolutely heinous abominations. They should be strictly forbidden and put under the severe punishment that befits all crimes against humanity.”
“Oh, now I get it. You’re utterly right,” said Gwen. “But then again, if others commit such atrocities without harming anybody in the process, why should we care?”
“Because they’re a direct assault on humanity,” said the twins in unison, they’re eyes expressing disgust.
Gwen felt how deeply her telepathic friends despised and abhorred parent-child incest and its ilk. “I guess you’re right. But now to something on a lighter note: You’re lucky that people have grown quite tolerant of public sex. Otherwise, you’d probably have been disqualified for your gambit.” Gwen laughed, and her two friends and their parents joined in.
Mr. Smith clapped his hands. “Alright, guys. I don’t feel comfortable of my kids being young parents and still not married to each other. Let’s drive to the registry office to catch up.”
“Gwen, would you like to be a witness?” said Mrs. Smith.
A broad smiled appeared on Gwen’s face. “Why, of course! What could be cooler than bearing witness to supernaturally linked twins marrying one another?”
Ashton pulled his father by the sleeve of his T-shirt. “Dad, but if Ashley and I get married, we’ll need …” The twins waggled their eyebrows and said in unison, “a honeymoon.”
Mr. Smith gave a hearty laugh and pulled his son by the ear. “You rascal! Can’t wait to bang your sister again, eh? Well, I won’t let you do that before you’re properly married to her.”
They drove to the registry office to let the twins marry. The official asked the bridegroom, “Do you, Ashton Smith, want to take Ashley Smith as your lawfully wedded wife?”
“Yes, I do want to take my sister in soul and body as my beloved wife.”
The official turned to the bride. “And do you, Ashley Smith, want to take Ashton Smith as your lawfully wedded husband?”
“Yes, I do want to take my brother as my beloved husband in soul and body.”
“Then I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss.”
The just married twins rushed together and made out. Ashton lifted Ashley. Carrying her in his arms bridal-style, he hurried to the car. His parents and Gwen followed more slowly. When they had come close to the car, they were surprised to see Ashley and Ashton sitting in the back seat side by side with hands entwined.
“Oh, are they managing to hold back until we’re back home?” said Mrs. Smith.
“Nah,” said her husband. “They’ve done it in front of the whole world. I bet they’ve already finished and are now basking in the afterglow.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith, since when do Ashley and Ashton smoke?”
“They don’t. None in our family smokes, drinks alcohol, or takes other drugs. We hate unhealthy habits. Moreover, none of us would ever want to take drugs even a teeny tiny bit. How the heck can anyone desire such an unenjoyable activity as taking drugs?”
“Yeah, but where has all that smoke in your car come from?”
“Let’s see,” said Mr. Smith and opened the driver’s door. He was greeted by a cloud of steam. “What in the name of love has happened here?”
The twins grinned. “What in the name of love? Well, lovemaking.”
“Come over and feel this!” said Mr. Smith and got into the car.
Mrs. Smith and Gwen followed and were equally astounded.
“This is a steam bath!” said Mrs. Smith. Sweat pearls appeared on her forehead. She turned around in her seat beside her husband to look with wide eyes at her children sitting beside Gwen on the hind seats. “You make enough steam to power a steam engine.”
“Yeah, amazing!” said Gwen.
“Thus begins our honeymoon, and it shall be a honeymoon to remember,” said the twins.49Please respect copyright.PENANA6nHQQpkdzn
