> Mine Little Pony > by TehPonies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: What is this place? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was mining some diamond when I was surrounded by a flashing yellow light. It was blinding me, as if I was staring straight at the sun. Everything went blurry for a few minutes, which is when I felt something hit me. Whatever it was, it wasn't smooth. I rubbed my eyes to free them of the few particles of light that remained in them. They stung quite a bit, but it's nothing close as to the pain you feel when a creeper explodes right next to you... Speaking of which, it was night time. Where were all the monsters? I tried my best to stand up, but it took several tries to manage it. That's when I realised I wasn't in my world anymore. Instead, I was now standing in a place full of mysterious houses and objects. The ground wasn't flat either, instead it was a surface covered in hills and bumps. The trees weren't normal too, the leaves were curved and the bark was nowhere close to straight... This is crazy, and I'm now starting to think that this is all a dream. I guess I should pinch myself to be sure. Ouch! Nope, definitely not a dream. I'm still not sure of this place yet, but I need to find someone to stay with until morning. I took a deep breath as I set off through this mysterious land. Several doors I passed had signs hammered onto them presenting the words ' Closed at night. ' Damn, that moment when your starving and all the shops are shut? Thats a first. Where are all the golden apples when you need them? One building in particular caught my attention. I'm not sure what it was, but I could smell cotton candy coming from the top window. I've never really been fond of cotton candy myself since my parents passing. Before they died they would teach me about all the different things we could find in Minecraftia. I still remember the day they left me, they went hunting for wood to fix some holes in the roof. They never came back. Word has it that they were taken down an underground cave by some zombies, and were never found.. I don't want to speak about it anymore. > Chapter 2 : What is that... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was finding it incredibly hard to walk. The ground was bumpy and their were all kinds of odd shapes. I tripped over, ouch. I kept on stumbling until..oh shit. I fell head first into the window of some oddly shaped house, the sign read Sugar Cube Corner or something. I got to my feet and brushed the glass of my top, then continued forward until I got to a flight of stairs. I stood still for a second, thinking whether I should even attempt to walk up this flight of stairs, as I didn't want to trip up again. I decided to walk up the stairs, bad decision, I kept of falling over and it took me 5 minutes to get up the stairs. I started to walk down the hallway, hoping I might be able to find some sort of portal, like a nether portal or an end portal, but I didn't,however, I did see something that caught my eye... WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!. A pink animal was looking around for the source of the sound, as thought a zombie had just bashed down her door. She turned her head and saw me. She looked like she was about to faint. Then she said ''I never seen something like you before, are you some kind of animal?''. I didn't know how to reply to this. She said ''Hmm, maybe your not an animal, perhaps twilight will know what you are, Oh I'm Pinkie Pie by the way!''. I didn't really understand what happened next, but I defiantly knew I was being taken somewhere else. > Chapter 3 :Twilight Sparkle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Well, come on then. Lets go see Twilight! Oh you'll love her, shes clever and smart and intelligent! " yelled the pink mare. Aren't those all the same thing? I thought to myself. I'd better not answer like that, I might sound rude. But to be honest, she does seem kind of weird. Then again, what can you expect from an unknown creature? Speaking of which, did I really trust this girl? She seems friendly, weird but friendly. I think I'm safe with her, for now. She started to lead me through a street full of skyscrapers and small houses. The path was bundled with species alike to Pinkie Pie, gathering round food stalls and some were just sitting there. Several of them stared at me as I walked past. Have they never heard of my species either? This is getting kind of awkward. I fell over several times along the way, which in a sense was a good thing because I had to keep dodging this mental thing riding a scooter. She was jumping over almost everyone, but nobody else seemed to care. Didn't they know that a scooter falling on your head is a possible hazard to your health and could result in a fatality? We finally arrived at this weird looking tree, in fact it was so weird looking it might not even be a tree at all. She stopped there. Oh for goodness sake, don't tell me that these creatures can live in a tree? That's impossible!. I was told to walk through the door by Pinkie Pie. I did as she asked and went through the door, where I was greeted by a gasp and the sound of heavy books hitting the oak floor. The first words that came out this purple creatures mouth were ''Sweet mother of Celestia! What are you?''. ''I'm a Minecraftian, I stated, and what the hell are you?'' ''Oh my,I'm a Pony. And I've never heard of a Minecraftian, I'll see if its in any of my books, Spike! Spike!'' What the fuck is a pony? I thought. Never heard of those before. Just as I was thinking what the hell was happening, a small fat dragon ( Yes, we have dragons in Minecraftia ) came hopping down the stairs carrying a pile of books. " Yes Twili- AHH Who in the name of Equestria are you? " he screamed. " I'm Steve. Thats S to the T to the E to the V to the E. And who are you may I ask? " " I'm Spike! " he pronounced, seeming quite cheerful. His smile disappeared as he turned around and I could hear him mutter under his breath. " And I know how to spell " " Spike! That's no way to treat a guest. I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I'm the student of Princess Celestia! " " Princess who? " I asked, trying not to sound rude. " Oops! I forgot you haven't been here before, sorry. " she chuckled. " It's fine, I said, but what I want to know is how did I get here? Into your world? Why is everything so different? " I stuttered. I had too many questions to ask. I think it will be best if I let them out slowly. " Well, do you remember any strange events that happened before you got here? " " Not as far as I'm aware of. " "So, whats the name of the place you come from again? " " Minecraftia. " I told her again. " Alright then, I'll see if it's in any of my books. Spike, search under P for places, I'll search for M. " she said. And that is where the research began. > Chapter 4: Research > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I suddenly regret ever coming to this library in the first place, since being I am now hooked up to all these wires and crazy machines. Twilight has her eyes glued to the shelf of books, while I just have to stand here. I stare at Twilight's apparent concentration face, until her face lights up. " I've found something! " she exclaims, and a book flies into the air. Finally, she's found something! Wait, a flying book? Oh no no no no no, not possible. ''I have found a book on mystical and mythical places, said Twilight, And I have found a page on Minecraftia!'' I unhooked myself from the wires before dashing over to Twilight to see what the book said, however, the language the book was in was some weird spiral and star language that I could not read. Twilight began to read: ''Minecraftia is a mythical place only known by some and even then they say it is only a legend. Minecraftia is full of evil creatures such as Skeletons, who carry a weapon known as a bow, Zombies, who fight with their fists (the equivalent to hoofs for them) and many other evil creatures. There are also friendly animals. These animals can also be found in the land of Equistria, however, they are different species to the ones that live in Equistria'' Twilight stopped reading and looked up ''So, does this sound familiar?'' asked Twilight in a polite tone ''Yep, sure does'' I said. All this reminds me of what was happening back in Minecraftia, with the dawn of age of Tekkit, and the fact that the evil mobs of Minecraftia were teaming up with some of the most horrible Minecraftian's around to take over, only God knew what the hell was currently going on back home. ''So, now the question is, how did you get here?'' said Twilight, trying to put her mind to a way that this could of possibly happened. " Don't ask me. I know nothing. Althought earlier you mentioned something about any strange events that might of occured before I came here. And only just now has something hit me. " I replied. " What's that then? " she leaned closer to me, and ended up next to me. I'm not really used to this mare, and I don't really like new people getting too close to me. I took a step backwards to alert her not to come any nearer. I think she got the message. " Well, I was in the middle of building a portal which was supposed to lead to a world full of Enderman and Ender Dragons, but I think I may have misplaced a block'' I said, Now I think about it, that would make sense, after all, there are supposedly many unknown worlds and portals in Minecraftia, waiting to be discovered ''What's a portal?'' asked Twilight ''Well, its sort of like a teleporter'' I said thickly, feeling incredibly dumb while saying it, as I hadn't been that descriptive. ''Well, we better get some sleep, its quite late and tomorrow I hope to take you to visit the princess'' Twilight said. ''Well, I better be getting home'' said Pinkie Pie, as she went through the door and closed it behind her. Twilight helped me up the stairs and pulled out a spare mattress and blanket. ''You'll have to sleep in this tonight'' said Twilight ''That's fine'' I said while yawning. Twilight prepared my bed. She finished making it and I got down under the covers. Twilight turned off the lights and I drifted off to sleep. > Chapter 5 : Meeting The Princess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard an alarm ring. I turned my head towards the ponies bed, focusing my vision on the black clock that lay on her cabinet. 6:00am. Too early.. do I have to get up? I guess I might as well, since being Twilight told me that we have a very important meeting to attend to later. I stretched out my arms and yawned, throwing the duvet of the spare bed clean off. I'll leave the cleaning to Spike, I can't be asked to make the bed today. Besides, I wouldn't know how to make one of these pony beds. They're not blocks. I guess I'll just have to get used to the surfaces of this world. Sure it will take some time, but I'll do it eventually. I walked over to Twilight's cupboards, and started searching through the cabinets for some breakfast. I was mainly looking for a nice crunchy apple, or a carrot would probably do. Unfortunately, I found no such thing. Where do these ponies keep their fruit? I looked back towards Twilight's bed. She was still fast asleep, I guess she hasn't heard the alarm yet. I continued to search for food, until I hit jackpot. Infront of me stood the most biggest apple I had ever laid eyes on. A big, fat, juicy apple. Oh, I felt like I was in heaven at this moment. I reached my blocky hands towards the fruit. But wait, what if Twilight was saving it? I'd better not take it. Oh, but I'm so hungry! But she might be angry if I took it without permission. Screw it, I'm going to wake Twilight up. I had to practically crawl up the stairs because I'm still pretty terrified by that flight of stairs down at Sugarcube Corner. When I finally reached the top, I grabbed the edge of Twilight's blanket and threw it on the floor. You've probably guessed that by now I have a habit of leaving blankets on the floor. I tunred my attention back to Twilight. Still asleep? Seriously?! What does it take to wake a pony up? I poked her gently for a while until I gave up, it was this or nothing. I arched my back and shoved Twilight off the bed and onto the cold rusty floor. She woke up with an instant at last. She glared at me, before taking a peek at her alarm clock. " Oops, I must of overslept! " she said, yawning. " Did you get a good night, Steve? " she asked me. " I think so, I must admit that bed is really comfy! " I told her. " Although, I did have some awkward dreams. I'll tell you later. Now then, whats for breakfast? " I added. Chuckling slightly, she lead me over to the cabinet I had previously been too. Immediatly she noticed the apple standing on the side. " Guess you were after that, huh? " she said gently, looking at me. " Yeah, but I thought you might be saving it so I left it there. " I explained, I hope she understands. " It's fine. Applejack gave me it the other day, but I've not had much time to eat it. " she smiled, and handed over the apple. Applejack? Whos Applejack? Another one of these ponies I guess, I'll probabaly find out later. " Thanks. " I replied and started instantly biting off chunks of the juicy apple. She laughed gently, knowing that I was happy and feeling safe here. " I'll be back in just a minute Steve, I have to brush my hair so I'm ready for the trip to Canterlot. " Twilight said. I looked at her. " Canterlot? " I asked. " Yes, it's another part of Equestria. We're currently in Ponyville, but we have to travel to Canterlot later today so we can talk to Princess Celestia about what we are going to do with you. " she continued. Well, that doesn't sound too bad. I wonder how we're going to get there. This should be intresting. With that, Twilight trotted upstairs. I finished munching my way through the apple. Thats when I noticed another figure standing in the doorway. She had an orange coat, and yellow hair tied back into a ponytail. Who is she? I bet right now she was thinking the same thing. " What in the hay are you? " the pony asked. " I'm Steve, I'm a Minecraftian. But you probably haven't heard of it. Twilight's upstairs if you're looking for her. " I said. " Err, thanks ah guess. " And with that, the strange pony walked upstairs. I could hear her asking Twilight something, something about a book. But she obviously wasn't finished. I could hear her talking about me, and Twilight explaining something about Canterlot, the princess and Minecraftia. Seconds later the orange pony came down the stairs again " Listen Steve, ah'm sorry I acted so weirdly when ah first came in. Ah had no idea that you were lost. You see we ponies aren't used to seeing odd creatures like you. Ah wish you the best in finding your way back, ah'll probably see you later. " She said her words the same as she usually would, but this time she held a sad expression on her face. She left the library and that was it. Only a couple of minutes from now and I'd be on some sort of transporter full of ponies staring at me. Great. Just great. Twilight finished her work and we set off towards what they call a train station. The train took ages to come, but we made it on eventually. I must admit the ride was not comfy, everyone was staring at me. The sooner I was back at the library the better. After the trip we arrived at this big city. There were even more skyscrapers than there were in Ponyville. I could see the edge of the highest building there. It wasn't that far of a walk, I couldn't wait to be inside. " So Twilight, what time is our appointment? " I asked , looking down at her. " I haven't made one, this is a totally surprise visit for the Princess. " " What? So she doesn't know about me? What if she flips out? What if she sends me to some other land? " I panicked, Twilight could tell I was scared. " Don't worry, Steve. The Princess is perfectly used to surprise visits from me. I'm sure she won't mind a surprise visit from another species. " she comforted me. If she says so.. we got nearer and nearer to the palace doors. Until we were finally there. I stood infront of the doors, and pushed it open slightly, Twilight finished it off for me. " Wait here, I'll be right back. " She closed the doors behind her, and I waited there for several minutes. She came out with a warm smile. " Come in, Steve. The princess would like to talk to you. " I did so, and before I knew it I was standing in front of a big white pony. It wasn't a normal pony however. It had a horn like Twilight's. And it also had wings like some other ponies I saw around town. Questions can wait until later. " Hello Steve. I'm Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle has told me all about you. " she spoke, looking up from her scrolls. " She has? " I asked. Twilight told her all about me? I'm sure the princess must be filled with information since being the amount of studying Twilight did last night was unbelievable. " Yes, and I'd like to inform you that there is nothing I can do to help you at the moment. But I will keep searching for a solution until your back home. It shouldn't take too long, and I can find you a house until that time comes. I will pay for all the necessary things of course. " Wow. This princess was kind. Normally nobody would give up a home and pay it all. I am lucky! " Are you sure about all this? " " I'm very sure, you may wait in the room nextdoors with Twilight until your home is sorted out. " she said, pointing to a wooden door. " Alright then, thanks. " I replied, and I started to quickly walk towards the door with Twilight behind me. We sat in the room for a while until Princess Celestia entered the room. " Steve " she said. I looked up at her. " I've found you a home. " > Chapter 6: The House and new friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The house was very grand with two medium sized oak doors, red, velvet carpet and marble floors and brick walls with green and lime wallpaper.The furniture was very grand too and the entire place seemed like a palace to me , after all, I usually lived in cube houses. I went upstairs to the bedroom find that there was a a weird looking chest filled with clothes that looked like they had been made especially for me.I looked around the rest of the house, there was a room filled with funny looking furnaces, a bathroom, and a living room. I changed into a red top and a black pair of trousers and went outside into my garden, Oh my god!. The garden was full of different flowers and the grass looked completely different and there were all kinds of different bugs and insects and there was even a chicken!. I walked over to it and sat down, not caring in the slightest that my trousers were getting dirty, after all, blood stains from killing ghasts were worse. I stood up and went back into the house.I put on a jacket and went on a walk to Twilight's house.I had got used to walking now, and I could now even run! I finally arrived at Twilight's tree house and knocked on the front door. ''Come in'',said Twilight I opened the door and went inside. ''Oh, hey Steve'' said Twilight ''Hey Twilight, I said, I was wondering if you could possibly take me into town as I want know what it's like to live here, after all, I may be here a while'' ''Sure, let me just get my things and we can go into the town square of Ponyville!, I can show you my four other best friends that you have not met yet!'' We walked to the town square and I started to look around. I saw many tasty treats and snacks and other pieces of food that looked absolutely delicious, but the main thing that caught my eye was a small, rectangular bench with a 3x3 grid on it. I looked at it for a minute, remembering the shop name, before I was being told to follow Twilight. I was taken to a weird looking cottage with a bridge and a pond next to it. Twilight knocked on the door and said ''Fluttershy it's me, Twilight, can you let me in'' The door opened very slowly and Twilight and I went in. The room was filled with all kinds of different animals. I walked around a bit and looked at all the different animals. There were ones that could fly and ones that could jump high and so many of them I almost fainted.I heard a small gasp as a yellow pony squealed. ''Twilight, is this the weird creature Pinkie Pie was talking about?'' said the pony in a shy, quiet voice ''Yes,Fluttershy, it is'' said Twilight ''Hello!'' said Fluttershy ''Hi, I said, these are some very nice animals'' ''Oh yes, they certainly are, said Fluttershy, would you like to have one?'' ''Of course, you got a tamed wolf?'' I said '' A-aa tamed wolf''? said Fluttershy, confused ''A dog'' said Twilight I chose my dog, put a red collar around its neck and attached a leash to it, and then we left Fluttershy's cottage. Twilight then took me to a clear spot on the ground. Thats odd, theres no houses here. She looked up towards the sky. I looked as well. What the heck? A sky house? And I thought Minecraftians were the only people who could do that. I kept on looking towards the sky for a while, thinking about how we were meant to get up there, however I couldn't think of anything. I turned to Twilight and asked ''How do we get up there''? ''Well, we don't'' said Twilight, simply. ''Why not?'' I asked ''Because Rainbow dash is currently out cloud busting. We can visit her another day''. Me and Twilight departed to go our separate ways after that. I went back to my house and Twilight went back to the library .I got home about 20 minutes later and decided to sleep, after all, it was 21:30. > Chapter 7: The task of mining > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sun rose high into the sky, causing rays of light to reflect of my window. The curtains helped, but I was still shocked to find a burst of light attacking me this early in the morning. I turned my head to look at my digital clock that Twilight had given me, I read the words produced on the screen. 7:09. Mother of Notch, that's really early! Much earlier than I would usually wake up. I stretched my exhausted arms and lifted myself out of bed, looks like the clouds were already gone. I wouldn't be surprised if Twilight just burst into the room ordering me to come and meet Rainbow Dash. I flung open my curtains and sprinted over the the kitchen cabinet. The worktop was set with a few apples and other kinds of fruit, vegetables and other kinds from the food table. My arm couldn't resist grabbing the most biggest apple on the table, and I let my teeth sink into the crunchy food. Perfect, that did the trick. I changed into a white shirt and blue jeans and left my house, locking the door behind me. I hummed a little tune and I skipped forward until I was stopped by something. I forced my eyes to open immediately, and I found myself staring at a white pony with a luxurious purple mane. Mother of Notch... she's so beautiful. She looked at me with a confused sort of smile, and opened her mouth to speak. " Excuse me um, dear gentlemen but what in the wide wide world of Equestria are you? " she asked me. I snapped out of my trance and shook my head. " I'm Steve, a Minecraftian. I know someone called Twilight Sparkle, and yourself? " I replied. " Twilight? Oh yes, you must be the strange creature she was talking about. I am Rarity, and I'm very pleased to meet you but I have some very important business to finish. I'm trying to look for some Gemstones for my latest dresses. Now if you'd excuse me please, there is a lot to be done. " " Gemstones, eh? I know quite a lot about them. Where I come from I used to mine all the time. I can find diamonds, emeralds, rubies and everything else! " I said proudly ''Well darling I'd love to chat but as I said I really need to get these Gemstones'' said Rarity, a little irritated ''I could go and get the Gemstones for you, after all, I have nothing else to do and helping somebody else could be good'' I said ''Well, I don't want to make you do work for me..'' ''Oh please!, I promise that I am offering out of my own free will!'' ''Oh, fine! get me 10 Gemstones then come back her and I'll collect them, Oh and I guess you'll be needing this'' She galloped over to a cupboard where she got out a narrow piece of wood with two pointy pieces of stone on each side, it looked like a... ''Pickaxe!'' I exclaimed happily She handed me the pickaxe and gave me a map of where I could find Gemstones in Equestria. "Cheers!" I said, smiling. As soon as I put on my boots, I set off to go mining and to collect some Gemstones. I didn't know what the underground wildlife of Equestria was like, but boy was I excited. ~3 hours later~ Bats.Bats.BATS. I soon realized there was nothing but bats here, and it was quite strange to be honest. No creepers, no spiders, no zombies. Nothing, just bats. I soon found some gemstones, and hacked away at them with my newly acquired pickaxe, collecting three. I then walked over to another spot, did the same and acquired seven. Boy was rarity going to be pleased!
