"So how weird was this Human World again?" Willow asked, giving Twilight an odd look as she followed the alicorn down a dark passage, their only light coming from Twilight's horn.

Twilight shook her head in exasperation. "As weird as it sounds. You have to see it to believe it. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of it. At least my friends were there. In a way at least."

"And everypony had a double there?" Willow replied. "Even me?"

Twilight's ears fell. "I don't remember ever seeing anyone who looked like you. Human or otherwise." She tapped her chin. "There was something else though. I swear I've seen what you are before. in a video game, Rainbow Dash had. Castlevania, I think it was called? I wasn't paying that much attention."

Willow's monstrous companion growled in defiance, and Twilight frowned. She was getting a lot of that from that thing lately. "Listen, ugly. I've had to put up with you for hours now, and I am sick of your attitude. Either shut up, or we'll find out how tough you really are."

That did little to settle his mood, and Willow rolled her eyes. "I don't know why he's acting like this. He's usually not so bad. Once you get to know him anyway."

Twilight somehow doubted that but kept the thought to herself for now. Right now though, she had other things to worry about as the tunnel began to widen.

Willow saw it as well. "Twilight. Where are we going exactly? You didn't say."

Twilight shook her head. "I'm not sure. All of the plans of the castle were lost a long time ago. So I have no idea of where we are, or where we're going. But I know one thing. It feels right. Like I am supposed to go this way. Like I'm supposed to be here." She gave her friend a smile. "You don't have to come with me, Willow. I can find my way back."

Willow shook her head with a smile, even as her friend snorted in annoyance. "No way, Twilight. We've come this far. No point in turning back now. Besides," she blushed. "I don't feel like leaving you alone down here. It doesn't feel right. I know you don't need it. But I can't help. I want to be with you to the end."

Twilight blushed as well, as red as the roses she wore. Even as she did, the rose in her tail began to sink deeper and deeper into it, as did the two behind her ears. Each sent out small roots as they came into contact with her skin, and began to work their magic. Soon.

Neither mare noticed, however, as they finally left the passage behind and came into a wide-open area. What they saw surprised them. The entire area was covered in sand, and in the middle stood a small pyramid. It reminded Twilight of the ones she had seen in Somnambula. But what was one doing here?

"Why the hay is there a pyramid down here?" Willow asked, as her companion growled at something neither mare could see.

Twilight shook her head as they approached the structure. "I don't know. Why would Princess Celestia and Princess Luna even have an area like this in the castle? I know they were friends with Somnambula herself. But this is a bit extreme."

Willow rolled her eyes as she uncurled herself and looked inside, and blinked in surprise at what she saw. "You might wanna see this, Twilight."

Twilight gave her a confused look as she too looked inside, and felt her mouth drop in shock. All she could see was green. It was like a garden, with flowers and plants of all kinds all around them as they stepped inside. The aroma was rather pleasant as well.

As Willow watched Twilight, though, she noticed something odd. The plants seemed drawn to her, following her as she passed them. And Twilight herself seemed to be glowing as they passed deeper into the garden.

Twilight, herself, felt more amazing by the second. Her hooves sunk into the moist earth easily, and it felt amazing. She giggled at the thought as the pair came to what seemed to be the center of the garden, where another surprise awaited them.

A massive bed of roses carpeted the ground and even crawled up the walls. All seemed to sway in a breeze that didn't seem to exist. As Twilight passed between them, they parted before her, rubbing up against her as she did. Twilight blushed at the feeling. She had never felt so good as she did at this moment.

Willow saw this as well, and she and her friend shared a confused look. What was going on? Flowers didn't do that. Did they? But at the same time, they too felt amazing, and Willow felt her feelings for the alicorn rise by the second.

Twilight finally came to the center of the rose bed and stopped. Something was telling her that she was meant to be here. She sat down with a contented sigh, not even noticing as the rose in her tail sent down roots down into the ground, rooting Twilight to the ground, even as the rose merged itself with her.

Twilight finally noticed what was happening to her, but she no longer cared. She smiled as the roses around her ears fused together behind her head before floating down to her neck like a necklace. Giggling, she picked a nearby rose, which instantly wrapped itself around her waist tightly but comfortably.

Willow watched all of this in shock and surprise. "Twilight. What's going on? And why am I so aroused?"

Twilight smiled up at her friend, and even her companion blushed at the look they got. "You know what Willow? I have no idea. Why am I doing any of this? And why does it feel so amazing?" Her smile grew. "But you know what? I don't really care anymore. I don't even care how long I stay here," she sighed.

Willow blinked as she suddenly thought of what time it must be back in Equestria. But a growing part of her also didn't really care. "So what now? I won't leave you down here."

Twilight smiled as she took the mare's hooves in her own, even as she began to feel sleepy. "Stay with me? I'm feeling sleepy at the moment, and I don't want to be alone."

Willow smiled, and before she knew what she was doing, she leaned in and kissed the alicorn on the lips. Twilight's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly leaned into the kiss. They stayed that way a moment, even as Twilight's body began to be engulfed by a large rose. "I'm not going anywhere, Twilight," she purred, and even her companion nodded happily as he sat down.

Twilight smiled goofily before her weariness overcame her, and she allowed herself to fall into a deep slumber. Even as her eyes closed, the rose engulfed her entire body, before seemingly becoming dormant once more.

Willow sighed as she curled up herself and lay down on top of her friend. "Sleep well, Twilight. I'll be here when you wake up."

Author's Note

So, I based the area where Twilight begins transforming on Sandy Grave from Portrait of Ruin for Nintendo DS. No Astarte, Persephone, Brauner, or Stella. Mummy, Devil Wheel, Sand Worm, Red Skeleton, Flying Skull, Ghost, Elgiza, Dragon Zombie, White Dragon, Bone Pillar, Ectoplasm, Spittle Bone, Armor Knight, Skull Archer, Skeleton, Crossbow Armor, Great Ghost, Mimic.

And this marks the end of the story. I've run out of ideas to show anything else. So, I'm stopping here before I ruin the story by continuing. We all know how this ends for Twilight and Willow in the sequel.
