- drama and not liking him personally aside, dood consistently writes interesting shit, but because of all the drama bullshit, i cant trust this to be binned by him
- this is a decent start to something interesting, and could possibly not be done by him, just someone posting as him to stir shit up
- *update*
- look at the post date, i archived this a day before he put it in his bin, with that said, i still have little trust in him seeing he nuked his bin before and i had to recover it for him... but that was before shit hit the fan with him... what i said above still stands, drama aside, he writes interesting shit, and there is a reason i keep an off line backup of everything he did.

- >It’s day 377 in Equestria, more specifically, the the couch in the library.
- >“Happy six-month anniversary, Anon!” Twilight beams up to you from your lap.
- >Wow, it’s hard to think you’ve been here for a year already, six months of which have been spent with the lovely mare in front of you.
- >...A full year away from other people, your friends, your family, and any and all familiar lifestyles.
- >Twilight must have picked up on your somewhat they get expression. “Thinking about home again?” she asks gently, her face morphing into a look of guilty melancholy.
- >You blink and shake away the memories.
- “Twi, don’t beat yourself up over this, I told you a million times. Equestria is my home now and I don’t regret coming here.”
- >You press your forehead to hers and smile.
- “After all, I wouldn’t have met you if that little summoning spell of yours had backfired.”
- >She lets her lips rise into a smile, before she turns her head up and gives you a peck on the lips.
- >”Anon, even if you say that I know you’re still somewhat homesick,” the lavender pony’s smile grows a little. “Thats why I decided to bring a little piece of earth here.”
- >That throws you for a loop. What could she be talking about?
- >She hops off your lap and beckons you to follow her with a backwards glance.
- >The trip is short, as Twilight only leads you to the basement door.
- >Thats strange, did Twilight replace the door to the basement?
- >She couldn’t have, because it seems oddly familiar...
- >Opening the strangely nostalgic door with magic, she grins widely and makes her way down, once again stopping to see if you are following.
- >You start down the stairs, noting that they seem steeper than pony steps.
- >A look at the walls as you trudge down gives you another wave of déjà vu. It’s like you’ve seen this shade of wallpaper so many times before...
- >The closer you get to the bottom of the stairs, the more familiar everything seems.
- >You’ve been here before... you know it.
- >By now, Twilight is at the bottom of the stairs, looking around the room before she turns back to you.
- >When you finally get down to the basement, you feel your jaw drop in total disbelief.
- >This isn’t Twilight’s basement, it’s yours!
- >Well, it’s the same one that was in your old house on Earth, your aptly named “Mancave”, with everything where you remember it.
- >Sitting in front of the ratty, torn up couch is an large, CRT television on a beat up with stand.
- >Next to it is a shelf of consoles, all the wires of which are hooked up to some cheap switches so you didn’t have to switch them around on the TV.
- >In the corner of the room, on a desk with a rolling chair just as beat up as the couch, is your gaming rig.
- >Fond memories of that, except for the one where your old girlfriend dumped you for spending more money on it than you did on her.
- >She was a bitch anyway.
- >Lastly, there is another shelf against the wall, which holds countless DVDs, game disks, and your router.
- >...The Internet light of which is still on...
- >That... that shouldn’t still be on... you can worry about that later though.
- >This is the place in your home where you spent most of for time and held more than one hangout with friends, leaving the dingy room full of pleasant memories.
- >And Twilight went to all the trouble of bringing it here?
- >You need to get her something nice. Like worth a paycheck or three sort of nice.
- >Turning your shocked visage back to Twilight, you find her looking at you with a pleased expression on her beautiful face.
- >”Well? What do you think?” she asks eagerly.
- >What do you think? What do you think?!?
- >You drop to your knees like a puppet with its strings cut, your expression still frozen on your face.
- >Twilight quickly goes from happy to concerned. “Anon?” she asks with a tilt of her head, “are you alr-mmph!”
- >Faster than she can react, you scoop her up in your arms and plant the most loving kiss you can on her lips.
- >You pull away from they now red-faced unicorn, slightly spluttering as you do.
- “Twi... how...why?” you ask in a jumble.
- >She gives you a bright smile. “In that order, I simply used a space displacement spell to swap the locations of the rooms. As for why, mostly because I wanted to give you a little bit of your home back.”
- >You raise an eyebrow.
- “Mostly?”
- >”Well...” Her smile gains the barest hint of embarrassment, “I also sort of wanted to sate my own curiosity. When you mentioned those “Video game” things, I couldn’t help but think it to be something interesting, so... I figured I could kill two birds with one stone.”
