"Pass the sand! I'll cook it!"
"Sure! Give me a second, Chaser is hungry..."
Button took a piece of meat and dropped it in front of the now fully grown dog.
Sweetie Belle gently smiled as he patted the hungry animal.
It reminded her of Helper and she looked around for the small chicken.
She spotted him near one of the corners of the house they were building.
He seemed to be observing something.
Sweetie approached him and frowned at the sight of his still healing wing.
"Come here little adventurer!"
Helper clucked and rubbed his head like a cat against her hind legs.
"Affectionate heh? Did your beak heal properly?"
Button appeared next to her and smirked. "I hope he likes me now... I saved him right?"
The chicken turned his back to the foal and continued to observe the grass.
"What is he doing?" asked Button, puzzled.
"No idea... He's been doing that for a while now..." shrugged Sweetie before jumping back with a yelp when Helper, quick as Rainbow Dash, leaned forward as a pink worm emerged from the ground.
He grabbed it and gobbled it up before happily clucking and trotting away.
The two ponies just blankly stared at the spot where he had been just a few seconds ago.
Then :
"OH MY CELESTIA A WORM! A WIGGLY PINK WORM JUST... SQUEEEE!" suddenly yelled Sweetie, running away in a flash.
"Delayed reaction much...?" mumbled Button, watching her shudder away. "Hey you okay?"
"Yeah... It's just... I hate worms! They're so... so... ewwww..." she squeaked, putting her front hooves around her legs and rocking back and forth in a fetus position.
"The real question would be why is it here...? I mean..."
"Mods" immediately said Sweetie Belle, still lying on the ground.
"Oh yeah... It's weird but... I'm thinking we should have guessed there would be things as small as worms if there were butterflies" murmured Button, looking at a flower that had a beautiful yellow and green butterfly on it.
Then he looked at Sweetie Belle.
"You do know that you're sitting on an ant nest right...?"
That was it for the poor white filly who squealed again and started to run in circles, red and even rainbow colored ants crawling all over her.
"The water! Get in the water now!" yelled Button, indicating a small nearby pond with his hoof.
She did as told and a rush of relief spread over her face... before becoming stiff as a rock.
"What?" asked Button, anxious to what other trouble she had jumped in.
"J... Jellyfish..." quietly said Sweetie Belle, not moving an inch.
"But I thought they'd be in sea water... I guess things like that don't apply to minecraft yet...?" murmured Button, focused.
"Yeah just go on about your own stuff, don't mind me just dipping in a pool full of jellyfish!" sarcastically snapped Sweetie Belle.
"Oh sorry! Here..." smiled Button, "grab onto my hoof..."
Sweetie Belle felt weird as she touched his skin, remembering when she had kissed him.
It was warm and comforting so she hung on to it tight as he gently and carefully pulled her out of the scary waters.
"You okay?"
"Yeah..."
"I would just like to ask you one thing..." smiled Button.
"Yeah?"
"Can you let go of my hoof? You're squishing it..." still smiled Button.
"I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine... I guess mods are going to complicate our game from now on... And we should get building. Night is gonna fall soon..."
"Sure!" chirped Sweetie Belle, grabbing onto a wooden plank and placing it in their construction sight.
They had opted for a casual but comfortable wooden house that had its charms.
Sweetie was starting the roof when Button suddenly let out a thought : "It's weird that with all the mods that were installed, we can only see more animals and stuff... I'd think there would be more... additions..." he muttered.
"Maybe they're coming up one after the other...?"
"Probably. Glass panes or glass blocks?"
"Panes. And I was thinking... don't you think GameSpark would have figured something out? Like with the fact that the camera was in your room and us strangely disappearing..." suggested Sweetie Belle, dangerously hanging onto a piece of birch colored staircase to put another down.
"Careful! And you're right... I never thought of that! What about the door?" he asked, putting in a simple question at the end of his sentence.
"Iron, duh! With a pressure plate for the inside and a button for the outside!" Sweetie Belle positioned the last stair that served as a roof and jumped down... before screaming.
"Button! Look! It's a... It's a..."
"What?!" Button looked out the window, panicked.
"A lucky block!!" she screamed.
"No way!"
"Yes way! Come see!"
Button rushed outside and saw the beautiful yellow block with a pixelated question mark on it.
"Wow..."
"Let's open it!" excitedly chirped Sweetie Belle.
"Wait! It's not bound to be lucky..."
"But... But what are we gonna do then?!" whined the white filly, urging him.
"I... I don't know!"
"We could stand back and then try and open it!" Sweetie Belle nudged him forward a bit.
"Whatever... Okay..." cringed Button.
"Just stand back!"
"As if! I'm right by your side!"
Button felt anxious and gently punched the block once... then twice... then three times... Until it finally popped open and...
Sheep.
Dozens of sheep.
Dozens of rainbow colored sheep just appeared out of nowhere.
There was a moment of silence before Sweetie Belle burst out laughing.
Button soon followed and they both rolled on the grass.
"I never thought I'd actually see that in my life!" giggled Sweetie.
"Hey! You never know what awaits you in the future!"
Then Button thought about what he had just said.
That's right... You never know what's going to happen next... Especially in a game like this...
"And the beds go... there!"
Two red and comfortable looking beds were put down in one of the corners.
"Perfect! That's the last of what we had to do!" chirped Sweetie Belle.
Their house was nicely done.
A small second floor had even been created to make it more welcoming.
And Chaser and Helper both had their little carpets where they could lie down, an orange one for the chicken and a light blue one for the dog - that had a matching collar.
"Now that's teamwork!" grinned Button.
"Totally! I can't believe we did all that in such little-"
A loud bang was heard.
Button's ears perked up and he shot a quick glance at her.
Panic quickly arose in his chest.
Trouble...?
Then the lighting changed.
The lousy pink light that had been crossing the windows due to the setting sun became a bright red that seemed to illuminate the whole room.
Clouds outside became less blocky.
The grass gently blew and amazing shades accompanied the remaining animals who were walking in the plain.
"Wow..." breathed Sweetie Belle.
Her own coat seemed to be shimmering white and her eyes were sparkling with joy.
Button smiled then looked back outside and sat next to her, his warmth mixing with hers.
Sure they were stuck in a game.
Sure they could die.
Sure it was hard...
But at that precise moment, there was nowhere else in the world were he wanted to be.
