Mine Their Way Out

Chapter 2: Welcome To Minecraftia

Twilight awoke with a splitting headache and an extreme craving for food, she didn’t care what, she was just hungry. She got up and looked around.

This isn’t the library She thought maybe the spell worked! She looked at her hooves to see if they were replaced by hands or feet, but unfortunately they were still hooves meaning she was still a pony and her spell still failed. She took another look around.

Where am I? She thought as she looked over the area.

She seemed to be in a small wooden room with strange decorations all over the place. There was a small clock hanged on a portrait, it still seemed to work but only showed the sun and the moon. The sun appeared to be in the top and the moon in the bottom but Twilight could see it moving. There were weird paintings hung all over the room. On the far end of the room, Twilight could see a small working bench and an anvil in the corner Maybe a blacksmith lives here She thought. She looked down to see she was laying on a bed with red covers and sighed.

Twilight was brought back to reality as she heard a small squeak coming from somewhere. She instantly turned to find the sound came from the door being opened. She looked at the doorway as a red Pegasus Stallion walked into the room. He had a shaggy, brown mane and a raggedy, brown tail. His eyes were deep brown and they shone as he put on an awkward smile.

“Woah, sorry didn’t mean to startle you!” He said.

Twilight stayed quiet and watched closely as the Pegasus started walking towards the bed.

“Glad to see you’re finally awake” He said as he stood next to her.

Twilight stared at him for a second and finally decided to speak “wh-who are you?” She asked.

The pegasus looked at her and gave her a warm smile “Well missy you can call me Joystick. And what may I have the pleasure of calling you?”

Twilight hesitated to answer seeing as she didn’t know this pony and she just randomly woke up in his house “Umm... My name is Twilight Sparkles” She answered.

“Well nice to meet you Twilight” The young Pegasus said.

His answer surprised Twilight a bit. Nice to meet you? She thought I thought that just the mention of my name would make him instantly know who i am. Everypony has heard of me becoming a princess, is it possible that this stallion hasn’t? Twilight decided to hide her wings by folding them on her back so the pegasus wouldn’t notice them.

“W-What happened to me?” She asked.

The Pegasus’ smile faded when he heard the question “Sorry Twilight, but I don’t really know” He admitted “I was walking back home from a little trip i took and found you lying on the ground as if you were dead. I checked your heartbeat and sure enough you were alive and breathing, however you seemed injured. I brought home with me and treated your horn but it seems pretty bad”

Twilight tried to process all this then a thought struck her. “wait!” She said in panic “What do you mean by my horn seems pretty bad?!”

Joystick looked uncomfortable and started stammering “well... You see.... Well.. You know what, why don’t you look at it for yourself.” He took out a small piece of glass he had kept in what looked like a chest and put it in front of Twilight.

The Alicorn almost fainted at the sight. The upper part of her horn was burned black and the tip had been chipped off. She was panicking and started hyperventilating.

“Hey calm down!” Joystick yelled. “It’ll heal over time! Just don’t bother it!”

Twilight forced herself to calm down. “Sorry, thanks for helping me and taking care of me while i was asleep” She said.

The Pegasus gave her a wide smile “No problem my friend.” He proudly said.

“How long have I been asleep anyways?” Twilight asked.

Joystick put a hoof on his chin and started thinking “hmmm... I believe it’s been two and a half days” He said.

Twilight felt like a piano had been dropped on her head “Two days?!!!” She yelled. “How could i have been asleep for two days?!!” She started hyperventilating again.

Joystick put his hooves on her shoulders “Hey! Calm down Twilight! Panicking isn’t going to help!” He said.

Twilight listened and calmed herself down yet again, this time by putting her hoof to her chest, breathing in then breathing out and extending her hoove out, something Princess Cadence had taught her.

“Ok, ok, two days. Now I just need to know, where am I?” Twilight asked.

“Well, there is not specific name to it” Joystick said “But if you mean biome, then we’re in the plains.”

Twilight looked at him in utter confusion. “Biome? Plains? Well i read some books on what a biome is, a natural area or special habitat, but what plains? There are no plains near Ponyville” She said.

Joystick raised and eyebrow and looked at Twilight like she was crazy “Ponyville?” he asked. Suddenly the truth dawned him “Ponyville?! You mean.... You come from Equestria?!”

“Well... Yeah” She said “Don’t you too?” Twilight was started to tense up.

“Well of course I do!” Joy said. “But we aren’t in it Twilight, you just entered a whole new world!”

Twilights stomach did a backflip when she heard him say that “What?!” She screamed. “New world?! Bu-but that’s... Wait... That means my spell worked! not the way I wanted it to, but it worked!”

Joystick was now more confused than ever “What spell? You mean you wanted to come here?” He asked.

“Well not exactly” Twilight said. “I WAS trying to go to a different dimension but not this place, what is this place anyways?”

Joystick took a step and bowed “Welcome my dear Twilight Sparkle, to Minecraftia!”
