There was dead silence in the garden. Everypony was staring at Fluttershy and Rarity, the former of which was trying very hard to make herself as small as possible.

Thankfully Celestia had ruled for hundreds of years, so she knew exactly what to do to diffuse the situation: she stomped her hooves.

“Oh splendid my little ponies!” - Celestia laughed happily - “I had heard from my faithful student that you had been working on magic trick, but I never knew you would perform it here at the wedding.”

Everypony stared blankly at Celestia including Fluttershy and Rarity. The silence was deafening.

“Oh, why yes Princess!” -Rarity chimed in, cluing in- “Fluttershy and I have been toiling away to perfect this trick just to entertain the crowd for tonight. Right, Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy was silent.

Rarity coughed, “Right, Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy meeped and started shaking nervously. Rarity’s right eye began to twitch.

Celestia laughed, “Well it was simply marvelous, wasn’t it everypony?”

A few in the crowd began to laugh awkwardly hoping to diffuse the situation.

“Now I know most ponies would probably wish to see the trick again, but after such an exciting day I am sure they are tired.”

Celestia turned to Twilight, “My most Faithful student, would you and the other Bearers care to guide Fluttershy and Rarity back to their rooms?”

Twilight was staring blankly at her two friends.

“I said, could you and the other Bearers guide Rarity and Fluttershy back to their rooms?”

Twilight blinked.

Celestia coughed loudly, “Twilight.”

No response.

Finally Celestia had had enough and smacked her in the back of the head with an outstretched wing. “42!” -Celestia repressed the urge to facehoof- “I mean, yes, of course Princess!”

Twilight looked back and forth confused then up at Celestia, “What did you ask me to do again Princess?”

Celestia’s smile tightened just a fraction, “You and the Bearers taking Rarity and Fluttershy back to the castle.”

“Oh, of course Princess!” Twilight said enthusiastically, “Bye BBBFF and Cadance.”

The two aforementioned ponies waved back.

“Come on girls let’s head back.”

Twilight trotted quickly over to Fluttershy and grabbed her. Fluttershy for her part put up little resistance. Rarity followed shortly afterwards smiling to the other wedding guests and giving her goodbyes. Rainbow Dash grudgingly flew after them even though she would miss out on more time with the Wonderbolts. Pinkie Pie bounced happily after them, grinning from ear to ear. Applejack looked at her drink and hawked it over to the nearest pony deciding that she had had enough cider for one day.

As the Bearers left, Celestia exclaimed, “Now everypony let’s continue the party!”

----------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight Sparkle woke up in her bedroom in the guest quarters of the castle. Coffee was definitely a priority this morning.

She rolled out of her rather large bed and grabbed the curtains to her bay window with her magic. She yanked them open and gazed out at her view of the gardens. She could see the entire layout including the maze from her vantage point. Her smile was drowned out by a huge yawn.

She turned around looking for someone in particular. At the foot of her bed, she found her number one assistant Spike sleeping soundly in his basket.

“Spike,” -Twilight nudged him with a hoof- “Time to wake up.”

Spike grumbled and turned over. Twilight rolled her eyes and grabbed a nearby hairbrush in her magic. She trotted over to the en suite bathroom and started to brush out her mane. She noticed a note on the counter.

Dear Twilight,

As I know that you will be tired after such a long day yesterday and you will most likely wish to study what had happened last night with the Elements of Kindness and Generosity, I ask that you tell me your findings after today’s Day Court.

Do not worry about those ponies that had witnessed the event last night. I have handled them accordingly. Also, Cadance and Shining have left for their Honeymoon and wished me to tell you to fare well. Have a good morning my most faithful student.

-Princess Celestia

Twilight blinked. Last night? she thought.

She went over everything that happened. Talking to her brother and Cadance, speaking with Princess Celestia, Rarity and Fluttershy becoming one pony…

Twilight’s eyes threatened to leave their sockets as they became impossibly wide.

She galloped out of the bathroom yelling “SPIKE!”

Spike jumped from his basket, “Twilight! Is something wrong? Are we being attacked by the Changelings again?”

“No, Spike. I need you to gather up writing supplies and meet me in the library down the hall.”

Spike groaned, “You woke me up this early to go to the library?”

“Yes!” Twilight exclaimed. “We have so much to do and very little time to do it.”

Spike let out another groan, but Twilight wasn’t paying attention. Her eyes had gotten a sparkle in them and that could only mean one thing.

She was ready to experiment.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly nopony had put up a fuss as she woke them up and hussled them to the library with a quick pit stop for some muffins and coffee. She had thought at least Rainbow Dash would put up a fuss, but apparently she was just as excited as Twilight was.

The library was untouched by the Changeling invasion. The walls were lined floor to ceiling with bookshelves all laden with heavy tomes. There were several tables and chairs around the ground floor, but Twilight opted to go to an area with a large amount of space to replicate the event from last night.

Twilight excitedly yanked a large blackboard on wheels over to the group in case they needed it. She had Spike ready take down notes as well.

“So is everypony” - Twilight nodded her head towards her assistant - “and Spike accounted for.”

There were various affirmations from everyone. “Okay, excellent,” -Twilight grabbed a piece of chalk with her magic- “Now first off-”

“Can somepony please explain what’s going on?”

Everypony turned towards Spike. Twilight was confused and then remembered that Spike had turned in early because of the events of the day. “Oh right! Sorry Spike I forgot that you hadn’t been there. Well you see Rarity and Fluttershy fused into one pony while they were dancing last night.”

“Oh okay. Well then- WAIT WHAT?!” Spike yelled. “Did you say Rarity and Fluttershy fused into one pony?”

Rarity replied, “Why yes Spike, I had convinced Fluttershy to go out onto the dance floor with me and at the end we somehow became one pony.”

Spike’s jaw threatened to hit the floor. He then closed his mouth and groaned, “I can’t believe I missed that.”

“Aw, its alright Spike,” Twilight said, “We’ll probably have them do the same thing later.”

“Really?” Spike, Rarity, and Fluttershy said, though the latter two phrased it more in disbelief.

“Well of course. You can’t get results without conducting tests. Now, could you-”

“HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!” Pinkie Pie interrupted excitedly.

Everypony was startled at Pinkie Pie’s sudden response. Her smile was so wide it looked like it would tear her face in two.

Twilight coughed, “Yes, that is what I was going to ask.”

Rarity and Fluttershy glanced at each other. Fluttershy spoke hesitantly, “Well, um, we don’t really know.”

Rarity continued, “Well, I had just convinced” - Fluttershy glared slightly - “well truth be told, dragged Fluttershy out to dance. We started to move in sync with each other and then eventually we just” -Rarity waved a hoof as she trailed off- “became one I suppose.”

Twilight thought a moment. She had never heard of this happening before and she wasn’t entirely sure what had caused it. The obvious conclusion was that dancing caused it, but something else was involved or this would surely have happened before. Twilight had some suspicions as to what that other thing ,or rather things, could be, but she was hesitant to draw any conclusions at this stage.

“I suppose at this point Rarity and Fluttershy should just do whatever they did last night, so we can see if it can be replicated.”

“Okay,” Fluttershy said.

Everypony was startled by Fluttershy’s willingness as she was usually the most hesitant of their group.

Rarity was the first to speak, “Really?”

“Yes,” Fluttershy nodded.

“Now, sugarcube,” Applejack started, “Don’t take this the wrong way, but ya tend to not want to try stuff like this.”

“Yeah Shy. This is kind of weird coming from you,” Applejack glared at Rainbow, “What? It’s true.”

“Yeah Fluttershy. I’m super duper happy to see you want to do the ah, um, what do you call it?” Pinkie Pie asked.

Everypony turned to Twilight. She thought for a moment, “Fusion.”

“Yeah fusion! But you don’t usually go first to try stuff like this.”

“Well, um, I actually like it.” Fluttershy said.

Everypony was shocked by this. Twilight was the first to speak again, “Well as long as Rarity is okay with it.”

“It’s perfectly fine, darling.”

“Okay then. Try to replicate what you did last night.”

Rarity and Fluttershy nodded and trotted to different sides of the room. Rarity started by prancing towards the center with a flip of her mane. Fluttershy followed suite more sedately. When they met both ponies turned in opposite directions and circled each other. As they walked around each other, they came closer together. When they could get no closer, Rarity grabbed Fluttershy and twirled her around on one hoof. She then drew Fluttershy close to her.

There was a bright flash of light, Twilight noted that the light was actually made up of individual glowing butterflies, and the Pegasus from last night stood where Fluttershy and Rarity had been before.

Everypony stared wide eyed.

Rainbow Dash and Spike were the first to break the silence, “That. Was. AWESOME!”

“I wanna try”, Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

“Well, at least ah know it wasn’t the cider,” Applejack mumbled.

“This is so amazing,” Twilight exclaimed gleefully, “This has never happened to any other pony before. I wasn’t sure if what had happened last night had actually happened, but now we know for sure”

“Well Twilight as you can see we are right here.”

Everypony went silent and stared at the smiling Pegasus who had just spoken.

“‘We?’” Applejack asked skeptically.

The strange Pegasus nodded her head. “We do refer to oneself as such.”

“But aren’t you just Rarity and Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash questioned.

“That is a part of us, yes.”

Something clicked in Twilight’s brain, “You’re an entirely different pony.”

“Yes” -Pinkie Pie gasped loudly- “But we are also not quite just ‘myself’.”

“What do ya mean?” Applejack questioned.

“Well, we are the sum parts of both Fluttershy and Rarity, and their elements.”

“So this does have something to do with the Elements of Harmony?” Twilight asked

The Pegasus nodded and everypony gasped.

“So are y’all like a weird combination of Fluttershy and Rares?”

“That is correct.”

“That’s so cool!” Pinkie jumped up and down excitedly.

“Wait. What did you mean when you said ‘the sum parts’?,” Twilight interjected. “Are you only partly our friends?”

“Yes, as it is almost impossible to truly be everything that is both ponies. I am primarily Fluttershy’s gentle nature and Rarity’s giving nature.”

“So does that mean you’re like both Kindness and Generosity and you make like some sort of super Element?” Pinkie asked.

The Pegasus smiled warmly, “Yes, we are the sum total of both Kindness and Generosity or as you may call me Charity, but we are not a ‘super Element’ as you so put.”

“So are you a different Element of Harmony all together or just the fusion of them?” twilight asked.

“We are not sure.”

“How can y’all not be sure?”

“We are not entirely our own being. We are made up of both Fluttershy and Rarity, therefore we cannot know more then what they already know.”

“So you’re a new pony, but not really?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“We suppose you could say that, yes.”

“Well that does make some sense,” Twilight agreed,”Is there anything else that makes you different other than your personality?”

“Using our magic, we can increase the natural abilities of anypony.”

Dead silence. “WHAT?!”

“That. Is. So. AWESOME!” Spike, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie all said together

“Okay, wait one darn single minute,” Applejack moved towards Charity. “Y’all mean to tell me that ya can just zap somepony and make them do better than they could on their own?”

“Yes.”

“Horsefeathers.”

Pinkie, Rainbow, and Spike looked aghast. Charity simply smiled, “Would you like us to prove this to you?”

Applejack glared at Charity and asked, “If y’all used your magic on me, what would it do?”

“We presume, as your natural ability is applebucking, that your strength would become tremendous.”

Applejack nodded and walked over to a bare wall nearby. She bucked it with her hind legs. Nothing happened.

“If after y’all use your crazy magic thingy and I can dent this wall, then I’ll believe ya.”

The Pegasus nodded, closed her eyes and raised her wings. She mumbled something under her breath and a turbulence of air swirled underneath her wings. After a moment had passed, she hurled her wings forward and blew the winds towards Applejack. Immediately Applejack’s Cutie Mark began to glow softly.

Undaunted, Applejack looked to Charity. The Pegasus nodded. Applejack nodded back and then raised her hindlegs. She kicked the wall.

CRACK.

A hole appeared where Applejack had kicked it.

Applejack was stunned. “Buh, wuh-what? It actually worked?!”

The others became very excited.

“It’s like an ability right out of my comic books!”

“OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh,” Pinkie Pie practically vibrated with excitement. “Does this mean I can be like super strong like Applejack and buck through walls because that would be so cool!”

“Does that mean I can be even more awesome then I am now? Because then I would be like even MORE AWESOME!”

Twilight had just retreated into her own mind as she thought of the possibilities and benefits of this discovery.

“Well, we are glad that you all seem to so excited for our abilities.”

Twilight shook her head to clear her thoughts. “Yes, thank you, um,” Twilight stopped. “What should we call you?”

“Simply Charity will suffice.”

Pinkie Pie gasped, “You can’t do that! Charity is what you are. You’re a pony, which means you have to have a name.”

“Yeah, and you’re like a superpony so you have to have a cool name,” Spike added enthusiastically.

“We suppose that we must then choose a name,” -the Pegasus glanced at her Cutie Mark- “How about... Bouquet?”

Twilight smiled. “Alright Bouquet, thank you. Now can we have Fluttershy and Rarity back?”

“Of course.” With a smile and a flash of light, Fluttershy and Rarity appeared once more.

Both mares were a little flushed as if they had just went for a long run. “Well that was exhilarating if I do say so myself,” Rarity said.

“Oh, yes that was very nice,” Fluttershy added.

“Well girls I think that’s enough for today, I need to let Celestia know what we’ve learned.”

She then took on a more serious tone, “Alright, now I think we can presume that we can all fuse with each other, but we have no idea what pony will appear, so I don’t want anypony to fuse until we can do so in a more controlled environment.”

The group gave various confirmations.

“Okay girls, we’ll meet up tomorrow again after Breakfast. For now let’s go enjoy Canterlot.”

There was a general cheer among the ponies as they left the Library and headed towards Canterlot proper.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pinkie Pie opened the door as quietly as possible and slipped in, closing the door behind her. She was in one of the bedrooms located in the guest wing of the Castle. The only source of light was from the moon shining through the window.

A large bed wa situated in the center of the room with a dresser across from it. There was a built in bench underneath the window and a door in a corner of the room led into an en suite bathroom. Everything was identical to Pinkie’s, and presumably the others’, bedrooms.

Pinkie Pie crawled slowly forward towards the bed, keeping her body low to the ground. When she was in range she wiggled her rump a little and then jumped onto the sleeping form of the pony laying sprawled on top.

A startled Rainbow Dash bolted upright in bed and screamed.

“Hiya Dashie!”

“Buh-wuh, Pinkie?!” Rainbow spluttered, “What are you doing here?”

“Weeeeeeeeeeeell, I was thinking we could do the thing!”

Rainbow Dash blinked, “What thing?”

“Fusion!”

“Didn’t Twilight say not to?”

Pinkie waved a hoof, “Oh come on Dashie. I know you really want to. Besides fusion is so cool! I want to know what super crazy powers we would get if we fused and I figured you would be the best first fusion partner I could have.”

Rainbow Dash grinned cockily, “Well, you did pick the most awesome pony to fuse with.”

Pinkie grinned, “So are you going to fuse with me?”

Rainbow shrugged, “sure why not, but only if we don’t do any of that really girly dancing Fluttershy and Rarity did.”

“Deal.”

Both Pinkie and Dash got off of the bed and stood at opposite ends of the room. Rainbow stood up on her hind legs and made a thrusting motion up, while wiggling her eyebrows. Pinkie laughed and then began to trot back and forth.

Both mares moved towards each other in sync. Dash would jerk her arms and lock them into positions, while Pinkie would enthusiastically bounce up and down, while tapping her hooves on the floor.

When they met each other Pinkie went in front and Dash behind. Pinkie did a quick trot forward and back, while Dash jerked left then right. Pinkie turned and Dash grabbed her. Rainbow then swung her around in a half turn and dipped. A red mist enveloped them.

The mist swirled around them until it formed a perfect sphere and then burst. Left behind with mist clinging to him was a Pegasus Stallion. His wings were sharp and powerful, built for high speeds. His coat was a dusty violet and eyes a dark blue. His mane was spiked haphazardly around his face and was red with pink tips. His Cutie Mark were were two rainbow coloured arrows turning into each other in a circle.

There was also a strange, red cloud roughly half the size of the stallion bouncing excitedly around him.

Stallion grinned and a sparkle of mischief glinted in his eyes. “Come on Dusty let’s see what trouble we can cause.”

The Pegasus brushed a wing against the floor and a hole appeared. The stallion grinned wildly and cannonballed into it yelling, “Geronimo!”

The cloud known as “Dusty” bounced happily up and down and followed after the Pegasus as the hole closed behind him.
