A Way Home

I watched as Steve, My new human friend, cooked up some steaks in a furnace. I sat quietly on a couch, happily nibbling at some hay. I was strangely content that she was now in a world full of blocks and different rules of physics. But she still hoped that either her or Twilight would find a way for her to get back home. She missed her mare friends; it had been three days since she ended up in Minecraft.

Steve finally stirred from his position on the floor and moved the meat around in the heated cube. He glanced over at me for a brief moment. "Hey, Dash." he said to get my attention.

I looked up from my meal, not minding the new nickname. "What is it Steve?"

"You know how i was gone all day yesterday? Well, I went into the city up north. I was doing some research at the library there and. . .I think I might know how to get you back home."

I left my food to fly over to the man. "Really!?" My heart felt as if it was going to explode from sheer joy.

Steve nodded. "I stumbled upon it by accident really. I was looking up things on the Enderdragon for future reference. There might be a special portal in the End."

"The End?"

He blinked. "I haven't told you about the End? Hm." he grabbed his plate off of the top of the furnace and put his steaks on it. "Would you like to learn about it?"

I flew back over to the couch, sitting in my prior position. "Is it boring?"

"I don't think it is." he sat next to me, picking up a piece of meat with his hands.

Steve had some weird habits, like eating with his hands. Granted, we ponies don't usually eat with silverware, but from what Lyra has said about the humans they use silverware a lot.

"Go on then." I sat and listened carefully.

Steve cleared his throat. "The End is the final test of a Minecraftian's life. It is rumored that an Enderdragon lives there, waiting for poor helpless humans to wander into it's paws. Enderman are all over the landscape, making the mission that much harder. And the pillars. . ." he shivers and takes another bite of his food.

"Sounds awesome! Can we go?" My heart starts thumping with excitement.

"Whoa whoa, are you serious?" he looks at me with concern. "I'm not trying to offend you Dash, but. . .you're not as. . ." his fingers snapped together as he tried to find the words, "as. . .able to fight like a human is. I-I mean. . .maybe you are in Equestria but the rules are different here. We haven't taken time to test your abilities yet."

My cheeks burned with anger as I stood up. "Then lets go test them."

"Now?"

"Now."

He seemed surprised at my sudden suggestion. "Wow Dash. . .I didn't know you were so eager."

I took a moment to think. I have been really laid back since I was zapped here. "Well, then you haven't the real Rainbow Dash. Come on slow poke!" I said on my way to the front door.

---

The feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body was all to familiar to me. Grass brushed against my square hooves as I took my stance at the top of a cliff. Looking over the edge made my stomach drop.

And I loved it.

"You ready for a show, Steve?!" I called down to him.

"Go for it Dash!" I thought I saw a small smile on his face as he waved to me.

Nodding, I took a small step back. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. The only sound was the pounding of my heart in my ears and the instinct I had since the day I was born: Fly.

I charged forward without a second thought. With the edge of the cliff fast approaching, I sprung my wings out to my side.

"Aha!" A laugh escaped me as I fell into a free fall.

I think Steve thought I tripped, because he screamed, "Rainbow!" in a worried tone as I fell.

Don't worry doofis, I'll be fine. I thought to myself. I'm mother bucking Rainbow Dash!

A boom. And then an array of colors filled the sky.

"Holy Herobrine! Wow!" Steve was giggling like a little girl as I landed. "H-How did you do that? It was. . .awesome."

"So, any other abilities you want me to show you?" Cockiness came through in my tone.

Shaking his head, she said "No no, your speed is just what we'll need to distract the dragon."

"Perfect, then lets get me home!"
