The rest of the day was pleasant. The spa was very relaxing and Silent Learner and Rarity had spoken until Silent Learner accidentally fell asleep. Of course, she got woken up a little later anyway, because the spa had to close. The castle was closest, so that's where Silent Learner went to sleep. Besides, she would have to pack anyway, and the animals could survive for a few days without her anyway.

Spike shook Silent Learner awake.

"Already?" she yawned.

"Yeah," Spike said. "I've already packed, but you still need to. The train leaves in a little more than an hour." Silent Learner shrieked.

"An hour?!" she gasped as she teleported to her dresser and started grabbing clothes. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" When Spike didn't answer, she glanced him to see that he had a massive blush and was staring at her. Then she realized something: She was completely naked. She shrieked and grabbed the covers to cover her up. Then she noticed a bulge in Spike's pants.

"This didn't happen," she said as she wrapped the sheet around her. Spike nodded as his nose started to bleed. He nodded as he walked out of the room. Knowing that Spike was now out of the room, she turned around, dropped the sheet, and grabbed a few more panties and bras. Teleporting down to the kitchen, she grabbed some snacks for the train.

A few hours later, the train finally stopped at the Crystal Empire. As soon as they stepped off the train, they were surrounded by fans of 'Spike the Brave and Glorious'. Silent Learner looked around for Shining Armor, and finally, she found him. She waved at him and started walking towards him. Then he noticed her and waved. When Silent Learner reached him, they hugged.

Oh, he's gotten stronger, Silent Learner thought. As they separated, Shining Armor looked her over.

"Wow," he said. "You weren't kidding about a full fusion." Silent Learner skilled and giggled.

"Of course not," Silent Learner said. "Twilight is very powerful with her magic. And so am I." Shining Armor smiled confusedly.

"What?" he said. "Actually, never mind. You can explain all of this later with Cadence. Speaking of Cadence, let's rescue Spike from his fans and go meet her!"

When they met up with Cadence at the crystal castle, she and Silent Learner started catching up and talking about the fusion.

"And you remember all the memories of both ponies up until the fusion?" Cadence asked. Silent Learner nodded.

"And when I defuse, both ponies will remember all that I did as Silent Learner," Silent Learner said. "Not only that, but I get both physical and mental traits of both ponies."

"Like what?" Shining Armor asked.

"Well, mentally I have Twilight's magic powers and intelligence, and Fluttershy's Stare and shyness," Silent Learner said. "And physically I have Twilight's metabolism and Fluttershy's strength."

"What strength?" Shining Armor asked.

"It really doesn't look like it, but Fluttershy is actually quite strong," Silent Learner said. "And of course, I kept some of the physical features of both Fluttershy and Twilight, and even a combination of some things." Spike snickered. He had been signing some armor pieces and talking to some of the guards.

"Yeah, her hips are larger than either Fluttershy or Twilight," he said. "But she's still got Fluttershy's breasts."

"Spike," Silent Learner warned, glaring at him. Spike gulped and the guards snickered.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Eh, it is true, though," Cadence said. "That's not the only thing. You're actually quite attractive." Silent Learner blushed.

"That's actually what Spike said," she said. Shining Armor raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" he asked.

"I think he has a crush on Fluttershy," Silent Learner said. Cadence nodded.

"You know, I could feel a different kind of love coming off of Spike towards you," she said. "I think he might." Silent Learner blushed.

"Well, either way, its lunch time," she said. "And we haven't eaten yet. I'm sorry, but can we eat?"

"Oh, right," Cadence said. "I had forgotten about that. Sure, lets eat!"

After lunch had finished, Silent Learner and Spike were shown to their rooms, which were (fortunately) adjacent. As Silent Learner and Spike put their stuff out of the suitcases and into where they needed to go, they started talking.

"So, feels good to be back in the Crystal Empire again, right?" Spike said.

"Yeah, it's nice seeing my brother and sister-in-law again," Silent Learner said. "And surrounded by your adoring fans."

"Hehe, of course that feels good," Spike said. They were silent for a few seconds before Silent Learner decided to ask Spike about a possible crush on Fluttershy.

"So, can I ask something?" Silent Learner asked. Spike raised his eyebrow.

"Of course," he said. "Ask away."

"Cadence said earlier that she could feel a different kind of love emitting off of you to me," Silent Learner. Spike blushed.

"What?" he asked.

"Do you have a crush on Fluttershy?" Silent Learner asked. Spike blushed.

"Dang," he said. "I was kinda hoping to keep this a surprise, but yes. I hade made a large and kinda complicated plan to explain it all, but dang....you already know." Silent Learner cooed.

"Awww," she said. "That's so sweet!" Spike blushed.

"But I didn't even say what it was!" he said. Silent Learner shrugged.

"I know, but when I defuse back into Twilight and Fluttershy, you need to do what your plan says to do, and ask Fluttershy out!"

"That nig-" Spike's question was cut off by Shining Armor knocking on the door.

"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" he asked. Spike shook his head.

"No," he said quickly. "Actually, I was going to come on down soon. Isn't diner soon?" Shining Armor frowned.

"We just finished lunch, like, and hour ago," he said. Then he grinned. "Wait a minute, you talked to him a little, didn't you?" Shining Armor asked Silent Learner. "You want to get love advice, don't you?" Spike blushed, but nodded.

"Well then, I'll lead you to Cadence's and my room," Shining Armor said. "Good luck, little brother!"
