An Aquatic Fusion for Three

As the three of them floated there, silent for a time after explaining to Twilight as much as was known for what was going on with them at the moment, Silverstream let her mind wander.

It was unusual for her to be the center head in the fusion. When it had just been her and Sksytar, it had never felt weird or been a problem since it had only been the two of them.

The first time it had happened to them, it had freaked both of them out. They both knew of Wave Crest, Ocean Breeze, and Sea Spray. All of Seaquestria knew the three of them and what they could do.

It had been the three of them that had helped her and Skystar adjust to their new bodies when they fused together, and it had been Wave Crest who had helped them learn how to switch around where they sat.

So while Skystar usually was the middle head in these times, Silverstream had more than often been in her place as well. The effect wasn't any different, no matter who was where. But she thought so at least.

Maybe it was just because she was slightly eccentric, as most residents of the kingdom would tell anyone who asked, but Silverstream enjoyed her time like this. In fact, she missed it more and more it seemed every time they pulled apart.

Now with Twilight fused with them as well, that feeling had only grown, and a growing part of her didn't want it to stop. She didn't say it out loud of course. She wasn't that crazy. Usually.

But the feeling was there nonetheless. Silverstream could feel their entire body like it was her own. She could feel their individual Pearl Necklaces like they were her own as well, and she knew for a fact that wasn't normal.

Normally, only the seapony who wore the necklace would ever feel its power within them. Everyone else would just feel the necklace itself and that was it. No one really knew if more was possible.

Maybe Wave Crest, Ocean Breeze, and Sea Spray knew more about it, but they rarely ever spoke of what it was like for the three of them in this form. The basics were known to all of course.

But the mental effects were less well known. It did seem like the other two always bowed to Sea Spray, in and out of their combined form, but that was strange simply for the fact that Sea Spray was the youngest of the trio by a long way.

Heck, she was even younger than she, Twilight, and Skystar were. Even accounting for the fact that she hadn't aged for over a century, if Queen Novo was right, Sea Spray looked like a young filly, and still held some of the same manners and thoughts of someone her age.

It was strange, to say the least. That aside though, she was also one of the nicest ponies in Seaquestria. Both Silverstream and Skystar considered her a friend, maybe even more than the other two.

Not that they would ever tell them that of course.

For Skystar, while she was used to being the second head while in this fusion with her cousin, with Twilight now apart of them as well, it was a whole new experience for her. The same probably holds true for Silverstream as well.

This whole ability was still odd to her, even though they'd had and known about it for years at this point. Even with her position in the kingdom, and who her mother was, Systar still didn't fully understand all of this.

Mom herself didn't know much more than she and Silverstream did either, and it vexed her to no end, Skystar knew that as a fact. She'd heard it often enough not to question it.

What worried Skystar though, was Twilight. She seemed to be taking all of this rather well all things considered. But there was another side effect of their fusion into this form, one they could all do by themselves if they put their mind to it.

Skystar could feel Twilight's confusion as to what had happened to the three of them, and even deeper than that. Her fear of what it could mean if they remained like this too long. Something that she could not blame the mare for.

Skystar and Silverstream had known about this for years at this point. They were even comfortable in doing this, and staying like this for as long as they could without losing themselves and never wanting to be separated again.

Twilight though was another story altogether. Neither of them had even known if they could do this with her in the beginning. While both of them were happy they could to be sure, both girls were worried about their new companion.

For the moment at least, none of them felt any different, and that was a small miracle at least.

While Silverstream and Skystar seemed to be deep in their own thoughts, Twilight's own mind was all over the place. She was slowly getting used to being like this, and she was even enjoying it with each passing moment.

It wasn't that she didn't trust either of the girls next to her of course. She trusted them entirely, and that trust had only grown once they had come together as they had.

It was obvious neither Skystar or Silverstream had known what would happen when they had asked Twilight to do this with them. She didn't have to read minds to know that. She could feel it in their shared body. How Silverstream's fin would brush up against Twilight's own.

It didn't take much effort to put two and two together. They were worried about her, and while Twilight appreciated their concern, she was fine, thank you very much. She could handle herself. Didn't they know that? She had proved it several times already before all of this.

But a part of her knew why they were worried about her. She was still new to all of this, and she was still growing into her new role and life. Of course, her best friends would worry about her.

This though was proving to be a great way to help beat back some of Twilight's own worries. Worries that she tried not to think about as she once again lay her head on Silverstream's shoulder.
