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.”
