What happens when the stallion you love happens to be a fusion of two different ponies who would later go on to fuse again, to become a completely different stallion to the one you used to know?
heartbreak that's what.

But here the component minds of King Righteous Authority used everything they had to magically create a virtual copy of Spicy Cider, the stallion long since lost in his final fusion so he may reunite with his love Tashie once more.

For all intense and purposes he is as real in mind, body and soul as the fusion that would come to make the king, for this version of Spicy retains every memory and recalls every moment the two shared together, feelings just as real as they always have been, maybe even tenfold after knowing the pain the rainbow pone suffered without him.

The separate minds of the king, delighted with what he has just been able to accomplish to restore the mare's heart. No doubt she will be indebted to him as long as she lives <3
