Mine Equestria or Equestria Craft.

Steve took a single puff from his pipe before tapping the ashes out of the pipe and slipping it back into his armor. He sighed and looked at Susie before shaking his head.

“Welp, now or never I guess.” Steve sighed out.

“Oh don’t worry, we are going to get you two home.” Fluttershy said reassuringly.

“We know, we just hope your friend has the answer.” Susie said.

“It looks happy!’ Rover said.

“That is does.” Steve said as the group began to walk into town. As they walked into the town, the only thing keeping the inhabitants from running and screaming was the fact that the shy pegasus was leading the trio through the town. They remained wary of the group, along with getting out of the way when needed, as they walked by. One pony however stood at the street’s corner gawking as she saw the duo of minecraftians walking passed her. Steve casted a weary glance at the mint green and white unicorn as they passed.

“I don’t like that one. She gives me the creeps.” Steve whispered back to Susie as he inconspicuously pointed at the pony.

“I don't think I like her either...” Susie said as she looked away from the pony.

“I like her!” Rover said, turning around to go see the unicorn.

“Rover! Damn it...” Steve muttered as he quickly caught Rover’s collar and held him. “No meeting new ponies for no reason...”

“Ok...” Rover said, before running over to a giant tree and sniffing it.

“Well this is our stop.” Fluttershy said as she walked over to the tree and knocked while Steve and Susie stopped next to Fluttershy.

“You don’t have to knock, this is a public library.” A voice said from the other side of the door.

“I’d still knock. It’s only polite.” Steve muttered.

“Twilight.” Fluttershy said in a slightly raised voice. “It’s uh... Me, Fluttershy! I have some... Ponies... I’d like you to meet. They may need your help.”

“Alright, come in.” Twilight said, a glow going around the door before it opened showing a purple alicorn organising the bookshelves.

“Eerrrh.... Mage...” Steve growled under his breath.

“I don’t think she is a mage.” Susie said.

“She’s doing magic isn’t she?” Steve said looking at Susie.

“Yes...” Susie said.

“Then she is a mage.” Steve said.

“Actually, I am not a mage, I am an alicorn, there is a difference.” Twilight said, not looking away from her work. Steve grumbled something incoherent, and probably not safe for foals or childrens ears, before he ducked down and walked inside.

Twilight finished reshelving and turned around, “Welcome, how may I...” She stopped when she saw the minecraftians, “I, books, cake, bahhh.” She said while she stared at them.

“... Did that pony just ‘baaah’?” Steve asked looking at Susie.

“It sounded like it.” Susie said concerned as she walked into the library.

“Ponies say bahhh!!” Rover said, running into the library past the minecraftians and running around Twilight.

“Talking...” She said.

“Um... Miss Fluttershy, I think your friend is broken.” Steve said tilting his head slightly as he looked at the purple alicorn.

“Um Twilight? Are you okay?” Fluttershy asked walking over and waving a hoof in front of Twilight. Twilight shook her head and blinked.

“I’m fine, I’m just surprised by all of this.” Twilight said.

“Okay, you sure you are okay? Do you need to lay down?” Fluttershy said worriedly.

“No, I’m fine Fluttershy.” Twilight said.

“Alright.” Fluttershy said smiling then turning to face the minecraftians. “I would like you to meet these nice...”

“Minecraftians...” Steve finished.

“Yes, Minecraftians. They are Steve and Susie.” Fluttershy said pointing to each human.

“That’s strange... Lyra always called you humans...” Twilight muttered.

“Would Lyra be a mint green unicorn?” Steve asked raising an eyebrow.

“Yes actually.” Twilight said nodding.

“Yeah, we saw her. She kept staring.” Steve said slightly shuddering.

“Yes well, she would stare at what she has been studying her entire life.” Twilight stated as she watched Rover run around the library.

“Anyway, they need help, Twilight. They don’t know where they are and would like to see if they could get home.” Fluttershy said.

“Well I don’t think there is a spell to bring others from different dimensions or realities back home, ponies simply don’t think other worlds are out there, I’m sorry.” Twilight said apologetically. Steve sighed and shook his head before chuckling.

“It’s quite alright I guess. Now I can cross ‘Get back at my son for nearly killing me’ off my bucket list.” He said as he leaned his head back with a small groan.

“So your son brought you here? Can't he send you back?” Twilight suggested.

“He could. If he was with us.” Steve said looking back at her. “He had this weird hatred for me and his mother, and he sent us here as ‘Revenge’.”

“I’m guessing your hatred for mages is because of him then?” Twilight asked.

“To be honest, I hate magic in general. It never helped me or my family out when we were really in binds.” Steve said shaking his head.

“Well I’m sorry to hear that.” Twilight said.

“Yeah, I am too. I had a lot of friends who became mages. Never heard from them again.” Steve said rolling his shoulders and hearing a mix of snaps from his shoulders and creaks of the metal as it shifted. “But I have to ask. Why is this world so... Round?”

“Round?” Twilight asked confused, “That’s normal...”

“It is? Where we are from, everything that isn’t living or breathing is a cube shape. Stone, dirt, lava, water. Only things that aren’t are what we make, like this pickaxe.” Steve said patting the tool hanging from his belt.

“That doesn’t make sense, how can lava and water be cube shape unless they are in a cube container, and a lava proof container for the lava.” Twilight said. Susie looked even more confused by this conversation and looked in her inventory, before taking out a wood block and holding it in her hand. The small cube levitated and spun around in her hand as she held it out.

“... Well like that.” Steve said pointing to Susie’s hand.

“I guess this is a part of the different dimension, different reality science...” Twilight said scratching her head as Susie put the block away.

“You should see what happens when you dig.” Steve chuckled. “Perfect square pops out of the ground and that little block just floats there.”

“That’s rather strange.” Twilight said.

“This tree smells like dragon! do you have a black dragon baby here?!” Rover said as he ran around sniffing the floor.

“D-dragon?” Steve stuttered nervously as he gripped the pickaxe in his right hand, slowly beginning to draw it. “What is that beast doing out of the end?!”

“Uhhh...no, there isn’t a black baby dragon here...” Twilight said, looking at Steve’s Pickaxe nervously, “I have a normal baby dragon named Spike, he is my assistant and he is harmless.”

“You sure?” Steve asked nervously.

“I’m absolutely positive, I’ll even call him, Spike!” Twilight yelled, turning to look up some stairs.

“Yeah Twilight!?” A young male voice shouted back.

“Can you come down here please?!” Twilight asked.

“Okay! Just gimme a minute!” The voice shouted back before the sound of small claws and padded feet was heard as a small purple and green dragon hopped down the stairs and ran up to Twilight. “Hey Twilight! What do y- Celestia's beard! What are those things!?”

“Oh, instead of breathing fire, he shouts insults.” Steve muttered shaking his head and letting go of the pick.

“Spike, be nice,  these are Steve and Susie, they are minecraftians and they got sent here by their son and are stuck here now.” Twilight said.

“And I am Rover!” Rover said happily as he ran up to Spike, “And I’m a good boy! The gray pony said so!”

“... Did that dog just talk?” Spike said looking at the white husky.

“Yes it did.” Twilight said.

“... Is that cool or kinda freaky?” Spike asked looking at Twilight as he petted the dog.

“I don't know.” Twilight said.

“Both...” Steve said as he looked around the room. “... This is a lot of books.”

“It is a library.” Twilight said chuckling.

“We didn’t have libraries back home. Only the mages got the knowledge. The rest had to either purchase a book or be taught.” Steve said.

“Why would anypony wish to stop others from learning knowledge?” Twilight asked, tilting her head.

“Because Mages only want power. And thusly, keep everyone stupid, more power for them.” Steve said shrugging.

“That sounds horrible!” Twilight said.

“It is, but most Minecraftians are homeschooled so it does not matter.” Steve said waving the subject off.

“Alright... Hey if I can ask, why is your pickaxe covered in purple? Were you mining gems?” Spike asked looking up at Steve.

“Well... I was before. But that isn’t why it’s purple. You see before our son sent us here he tried to kill us with a creature of the night.” Steve said. “This being is... WAS called an enderman and attacked us. So I put the pick in it’s skull.”

“Y-you killed it!?” Fluttershy squeaked out.

“Yes, but it would have killed us if we didn't, they don’t care about anything.” Susie said.

“She is right. Along with it being under the influence of magic, the being would not have stopped. It simply tore the front of our house off to try and kill us.” Steve said. “That is why the pick is purple.” All the ponies, and dragon, turned slightly green at the prospect and had to take a few moments before speaking again.

“We... There isn’t anything bad that can hurt you here.” Twilight said.

“So... No Zombies?” Steve asked.

“ZOMBIES!?” Spike shouted in a panic.

“Zombies don't exist.” Twilight said, pointedly looking at Spike to calm him down.

“No Skeletal Archers?” Steve asked again.

“You’re going to make Spike have nightmares now, there are no skeletons! much less skeletons with bows!” Twilight said angrily.

“... What about Creepers?” Steve asked as he took a quick glance out the window.

“...A creeper as in a stalker?” Twilight asked.

“That’s one way to put it... Here, I’ll explain. You have a quill and paper?” Steve asked.

“Yes...” Twilight said, using her magic to take out a quill and paper and gave it to steve. He drew a few lines for a moment before handing the paper back to her showing the image of a four legged, strange cubish creature with soulless black eyes.

“That is a creeper. They blend into the forest’s leaves and the shadows of caves. And they make no noise as they sneak up to you. Inch by inch. Step by step.” Steve said emphasising his point back taking a few steps towards Spike and Twilight. “They get closer and closer, and the moment you think you are safe in the wild... You know what they do?”

“Wh-what?” Spike asked clutching Twilight’s leg.

“They... Go.... BOOM!” Steve shouted clapping his hands together making a loud, thunderous ‘CLAP’ scaring poor Spike into a state of shock as he fell to the ground hyperventilating while FLuttershy let out a ‘EEP’ and cowered under her hooves. Steve stood back up and walked back over to Susie.

“Spike!!” Twilight yelled as she tried to help him calm down, “Now he is going to be worried about these mythical creepers besides zombies!”

“They are not Mythical. Those things stalk you and splatter you against walls when you don’t pay attention.” Steve said.

“Steve, you’re not helping by scaring the poor dragon more.” Susie said.

“Sorry sorry.” Steve said rubbing his eyes.

“These ‘creepers’ are mythical here, as well as zombies.” Twilight said, using her magic to put a paper bag against Spike’s mouth so he could breath into it.

“What about Enderman?” Steve asked. “Four block tall midnight black creature with glowing purple eyes?”

“No, we don’t have those either, just normal dragons like spike.” Twilight sighed.

“...Giant spiders?” Steve asked weakly.

“No.” Twilight deadpanned.

“... So this is... A peaceful world?” Steve asked as he looked out the window again.

“Yes its peaceful.” Twilight said.

“And you are sure?” Steve said looking back at Twilight.

“I have lived here my whole life, I am sure.” Twilight said, starting to get annoyed as Spike started to calm down.

“How... How did you live in that place!?” Spike finally shouted as he regained his breath.

“Very carefully.” Susie said.

“With cake!” Rover said. Fluttershy uncovered herself from her hooves and stood up shakily.

“Th-that must have been... Awful.” She said quietly.

“It was... You couldn’t go out at night or you were a goner. Or you were extremely stupid.” Steve said hanging his head.

“Well, I see you are going to have to get used to this world, and I need to write to Celestia.” Twilight said.

“Alright then. What shall we do in the meantime?” Steve asked.

“Read one of the books, it won't take long to write the letter.” Twilight said shrugging, before turning to Spike.

“I am... Okay now Twilight...” Spike huffed as he put a claw on his chest as his breathing slowly went back to normal.

“... I am glad I didn’t tell him about Herobrine.” Steve whispered to Susie.

“He isn’t even real.” Susie said.

“Hey, you never know.” Steve said shrugging. “Those mines hold freaky stuff.”

“Are you alright to take a letter Spike?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, just let me get the paper and quill.” He said hopping off her back and seemingly pulling a paper and quill out of nowhere. “Okay, shoot.”

“Dear Princess Celestia, my friend fluttershy found a new species that is not of this world and introduced them to me. They seem friendly enough so I don't think they will be any trouble, but I hope you could come and talk to them, maybe if Luna is up yet have her come as well, so that she won't be surprised if she meets them at some other time, Maybe have her show them the night isn't so bad. Signed Twilight Sparkle. Ok, send it Spike.” Twilight said. Spike nodded and rolled up the scroll before taking a deep breath and breathing a little bit of fire onto the scroll and watching the wisp of smoke fly out the window.

“... You just burnt that letter...” Steve said blinking in confusion.

“No, thats how he sends the letters.” Twilight informed him.

“... Magic?” He asked.

“Yes, dragonfire magic.” Twilight said.

“... Okay?” Steve said unsure.

“So he doesn’t just say insults, he does breath fire.” Susie said, nudging Steve’s side.

“Okay okay I was wrong. I am only good with a sword and know where to mine!... And a bow, but I don’t use that too often.” Steve said shrugging.

______________________________________________________________________________

A few minutes had passed as Steve was reading a small book about Equestrian history, and had taken off his dented iron and scratched leather armor, while Rover fell asleep beside him and Susie talked to Fluttershy about animals. Twilight was busy making the place look prim and proper while Spike was simply organizing the books again. There was a loud ‘Pop!’ along with a bright flash that left Steve in a daze.

“... Ow.” Steve said as he put a hand on his eyes.

“Hello Princesses.” Twilight said.

“Hello Twilight! How are you?” A tall white Alicorn doned in a golden tiara and Breastplate/Necklace combo while a indigo alicorn, smaller than her but larger than twilight, was behind her with a smile.

“That has got to be the flashiest thing since golden armor...” Steve muttered as he put down the book.

“I am fine Princess.” Twilight said smiling. Steve stood up, as well as Susie, and looked to the princesses.

“So how you think this is going to go?” Steve whispered to Susie as the two alicorns idly chatted.

“I don't know.” Susie whispered back.

“Good, that means we have a chance.” Steve chuckled.

“HELLO OUTWORLDERS!! WE ARE PRINCESS LUNA!” The indigo alicorn said from right next to them.

“BY NOTCH’S BEARD, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!” Steve shouted as he hunched over and clasped his hands over his ears.

“I am a good boy!” Rover yelled as he woke up.

“We...I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.” Luna said, looking at Steve as Susie picked at her ears to regain her hearing. Steve smiled sheepishly, if not slightly pained, and stood back up.

“It’s okay. Me and Susie have been next to Creeper explosions and trust us when we say, those are louder.” Steve said.

“What?” Susie asked.

“You’re still deaf, Susie.” Steve said looking at her.

“You were saying about these...creepers being louder?” Luna asked, slightly amused.

“Eh, louder in a sense of impending doom. But that is a story for later.” Steve said chuckling before holding out his hand. “I am Steve.”

“Nice to meet you.” Luna said, putting up a hoof and shaking with him.

“I...am...Susie.” Susie said as she regained her hearing.

“And I am a good boy!” Rover repeated, before falling back asleep.

“And that was Rover.” Steve said chuckling.

“And he talks, thats a new one.” Luna said.

“Tell me about it...” Steve said shaking his head. That was when Steve caught the word ‘Dungeon’ from the tall white alicorn before he chuckled nervously. “Eh heh heh... What was that about a dungeon?”

“Oh I am sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you. We were just discussing what you have told Twilight and I got nervous when she said you killed a hostile being. But she said it was out of self defense so I don’t have to send you to the dungeon.” The tall alicorn said laughing sheepishly.

“That’s good to know at least.” Susie said smiling, “I’m guessing your Princess Celestia?”

“Yes, I am.” Celestia said with a smile. “And I am assuming you and your friend are Steve and Susie?”

“Yes.” Susie said.

“Good! Now come and sit, we have much to discuss.” Celestia said as she walked over to the couch and sat down. Susie and Steve followed and sat down.
