43. Synchronicity

Ever since Daniel and Celestia had shared themselves with each other, the two had been acting as they were a single being possessed of two bodies. The unusual phenomena had begun in the morning, when the Princess had awakened to perform her usual duty of raising the sun, because the pony princess and her beloved had awakened at exactly the same time. The human - after exchanging a good morning kiss with his beloved mare - had then assisted the Solar Diarch with dressing in her regalia. According to the servants, said dressing had been the quietest ever witnessed; Celestia had moved just so to allow Daniel to place the garments exactly when and where she needed them placed. Shortly thereafter, the Princess of the Sun had walked to her balcony - Daniel walking in perfect step to her movements - and then the Alicorn Princess had raised the sun to begin another day.

With her morning duty done, the Princess and Daniel had then headed - always in perfect, synchronized step - to the Royal Kitchens, wherein they evicted the Royal Chefs and then prepared breakfast for each other themselves; a hearty meal of waffles along with a lovely salad for Celestia, if what the unicorn had heard was correct (she was certain it was). That in itself was normal - Daniel and Celestia occasionally evicted the Chefs that they might cook their own meals ever since the Alicorn Princess had returned with her love from Earth. No, what was strange was the way the two had gone about preparing the meal. As man and pony princess worked each would pass the other the correct ingredients, tools and other items in the proper order needed... exactly when said things were needed. Man and Mare worked in near silence - save for the usual noise made within a kitchen when making a meal - and then when the meal was done, cooked to perfection instead of taking it into the royal dining room the two seated themselves at a table within a small alcove just off the kitchen... and then, as the Royal Chefs looked on, Man and Alicorn had proceeded to feed each other; passing each other food exactly when the other desired it, as if they could read each other's thoughts perfectly. Afterward they proceeded to clean up their dishes and the kitchen, displaying more of the same odd odd synchronicity.

"It is a side effect of our sharing, Twilight..."

At the sound of the voices behind her, poor Twilight Sparkle shrieked and dropped the Chronicle she'd been writing in; then she whirled about to see Daniel and Celestia behind her, for both had been reading over her shoulder whilst they sat together upon the Sun Throne whilst waiting for Court to begin.

"Beg pardon?" queried the unicorn.

"We said," responded they, "that it is a side effect of our sharing; this perfect synchronicity. It may end soon, though we hope it does not." Here Daniel and Celestia leaned into each other, she nuzzling his cheek and he kissing her softly. "We like the idea of being as one like this, though some may find it unnerving. Others, however, will know and respect this sign that our love is indeed strong..." As they spoke, the Nobility started to file in. "Now attend, Twilight Sparkle. Court is about to begin..." Twilight nodded and put away her work; she'd just have to research the unusual phenomenon later.
