*I put in this secret chapter that takes place after Rarity falls asleep in the woods with A.J, Fluttershy, and Spike.
I felt shivers run through my body after I fell asleep in the woods. A world was forming, one made by my subconscious. I was dreaming, it seemed, and fire spread throughout the land. I was running from something, or some pony. I looked back as my nerves shook across my body. I felt scared as I stopped, frozen from head to hoof. A presence hovered over me, and I sweat as the warmth of the fire grew. Soon a dark figure began taking shape, and it formed into Luna, princess of the night.
"Why are you here? Why are you doing this to me?" I asked the midnight-blue coated princess, whose light blue mane shone and sparkled brightly. The princess paced back and forth, a serious look on her face.
"You have defied the laws of nature. Therefore, you must pay. But don't worry. I'll make sure you'll never wake up from this dream. You'll suffer for eternity!" The princess laughed wickedly like she did when she was Nightmare Moon. I struggled to move, but nothing worked. My dream had turned to a nightmare, a punishment specifically made by the princess of the night. Luna walked up to me and cast a spell that threw me into the air. I landed in the bushes and got up slowly. The world changed into that of a maze. It was just like what Discord did, only I was in this alone. The walls were closed around me, and it was dark and scary.
"Damn that Luna. Why can't she understand that I love another mare. She's caused enough trouble already..." I began to walk through the maze as the world began to tip to the side. I fell into the branches which cut and wrapped around me. The thorns settled into my skin and I cried loud in pain. I awoke and I was on the floor, the world again moving side to side.
"What is this, some sort of dream paradox?" I asked myself. It had to be, because everything was messed up, and it all seemed so crooked from actual realities. This nightmare was definitely scary, and Luna had control of my waking. So I had to find a way out fast. I sped up my walking and ran as fast as I could, mane flying in the air as the winds rushed past me. The path became darker, and I stopped when Twilight appeared in front of me.
"Twilight, what are you doing here?"
"I came here for you, Rarity." She walked up to me with a smile, and wet eyes. We hugged, and suddenly I felt myself become even sadder. Tears formed at my eyes and I hugged Twilight tighter. She broke the embrace, holding my hoof.
"Stay here with me, Rarity," The world changed and we were back in PonyVille, but near a house that was built solely of marble and gold. The rooms were filled with love seats and other royal furniture. I stared back into Twilight's eyes, that were filled with an emotion I could not read. But her eyes were closed partly and seductively, and lured me into a trance. "Stay with me forever, Rarity. We can finally be together, and alone. No pony will interrupt us. Come with me into a life filled with happiness." I looked down, and then back to the house. It was magnificent. It was my dream home once I was married. I suddenly forgot where I was, and faces popped into my head. They were so familiar, as if they were friends.
"What about our friends? They are going to be with us too, right?" Twilight's face turned serious.
"Who cares about them? Why do you even mention them? We don't need them. All we need are us. Are you saying your life isn't complete without me?" I nodded my head.
"No...you're not Twilight!"
"I am Twilight, love. Kiss me." She forced herself onto me and I struggled. But I felt something sharp pierce through my skin, and I felt thick fluid enter my mouth from Twilight's.
"Mmf! Mmf!" I moaned in pain. I opened my eyes and noticed she had stabbed me as well as herself. I managed to push her from me, a wild smile breaking on her face. "Twi..." I groaned.
"We are going to die together, Rarity..." I fell to my stomach, the blade going more into my body.
"By Celestia, why...why, Luna? Why do I have to suffer this?" I saw black and awoke again in the maze. I walked forward, and checked for the wound. It was gone. Luna would keep me here forever. I began to cry loudly, and sob. Tears rolled out my eyes. I remembered every pony that I met. I remembered how Twilight was just a day away, and...Twilight! I forgot! Twilight was the pony that fueled me with power and love. I focused the magic that was contained in a small amount within me. I felt it grow stronger and suddenly my coat and mane began to glow.
"Luna, you won't just leave me here. I'm going to find a way out, and you're going to regret trapping me!" I yelled. I felt my magic grow, and suddenly I felt wave after wave of magic leave my horn. The dream began to straighten out, and flowers spread throughout the maze. The dark moon became the sun, and my nightmare transformed into a lovely dream. Luna appeared in front of me, and she moved closer and closer. The world became blurry and all I saw were her hooves, because I was tired, spread entirely out on the grass.
"You're so stubborn, fighting for something forbidden. Let me tell you something little pony. I never knew my sister was capable of being a mare lover, as her duties were always royal. So I'm going to finish her off when I get the chance. Today is the day you escape from my clutches, but know this. I will be back to feed on your dreams, so keep awake. Insomnia might be your only option." I panted harshly and she flashed away. I closed my eyes. This was one of the most terrible dreams I had ever experienced.
"Twilight..." I awoke from my sleep, rubbing my head. I turned to the others who were still sleeping. I sighed and put my head back down.
"It's best if I keep this a secret." I said, slowly closing my eyes again. I was ready for the path of loving a mare, no matter the consequences.
