Rose Blossom

Jennifer looked at her garden.  It had every kind of flower imaginable. Standing in it, you could feel like you're in a different world. The aromas certainly helped to create that illusion. As she finished her work, she decided to head into town. As she walked back to her house, the garden became almost invisible, hidden from view. Walking took a few minutes, as Jennifer had inherited a very large plot of land. Most of this land was grass covered, with the occasional bush, and a small pond, but behind some trees and bushes one could find the secret garden.
She reached the house, and moved for her car. Her house was not the only one of its type, and driving took a bit longer, as the lots were massive. When she reached town, she parked her car, and set off for the gardening store. As she walked down the street, she noticed a new store. This store was a tattoo parlor, and she saw some pretty fancy designs in the window. Seeing some with pretty flowers, and feeling adventurous, Jennifer decided to take a look inside.
The building was neat and organized, and a man at the desk greeted her. After telling him of her interest, he revealed to her just how many selections there were, and at a good price too. She decided that she wanted to get a tattoo of a roses and thorns. It wasn't until the process had already started that she realized what she was getting herself into.

The next day, Jennifer was feeling better than ever. It was still the weekend, and Jennifer was in the mood to tend to her garden again. She began the walk to the secluded area. As she traveled the path, she stopped to admire the bushes. Most of them were rose bushes, as roses were her favorite. She was amazed at the flowers on one group of bushes, and even went off the path to inspect them. There were the best roses she had seen in a long time. The sight of them made her happy.
Jennifer turned to keep heading for the garden, but after a few steps, she found that it was impossible. She could not move her legs anymore. As she looked down, she saw they were fusing, and had spread into the ground. Although she didn't know why, Jennifer felt a strange calm. She felt as though whatever it was that could possibly be happening to her, it would only make her happy. Looking down to her legs again, Jennifer saw that they had completely fused, and noticed that they had begun to turn a color somewhere between green and pink. This strange color was starting to spread upwards to other parts of her body. Below her, Jennifer could feel what used to be her feet spread out in the ground. They created a firm anchor, though why she did not know. The color rising up her chest had know made it to her breasts, and Jennifer watched as they grew before her eyes. She had never been attractive, but now her breasts were becoming massive, and her hips and waist were determined to match the style. The color moved on, spreading down her arms. Near the elbows, they began to turn green, and began to resemble a leafy glove. As the color moved up her face, Jennifer felt her hair beginning to grow, changing shades from brown to bright pink. It made it all the way down her back, ending at her waist.
At this point Jennifer had time to contemplate what had happened. She didn't know how or why it did, but she had a feeling that it wasn't finished. Unfortunately for her, nothing happened throughout the rest of the day, and she had to resort to watching the various wildlife roam about her backyard. At nightfall, she laid down the best she could, and eventually drifted into an uneasy sleep. She noticed that she had never gotten hungry throughout the whole thing, and thought it strange. She also noticed that her tattoo from the day earlier showed bright as ever. It wouldn't be until the next day that she would figure it out…

Another beautiful morning and Jennifer awoke to bright sunlight. She looked around, and saw that nothing was unusual, except for her changes from the previous day. As her mind dwelled on that, she realized that something was happening. She couldn't see it, but as she looked around, she realized what she was missing. Small roses were blooming in her hair. That was when it hit her! She got the tattoo of the roses, and now she was turning into one-sort of. Indeed, her feet were now roots, and she wasn't hungry because her cells were now using photosynthesis! Jennifer looked down at her feet, and noticed that something was growing out of the base. A minute later, Jennifer was at the center of a beautiful rose blossom. Soon the thorns grew out of the ground, protecting her from getting her petals eaten. She looked over herself, and was content, as she smelled the new aroma she gave off.
Life was good.
