//-------------------------------------------------------// A New World -by darthvader45- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Strange Encounter //-------------------------------------------------------// Strange Encounter I turned around and nearly fainted out of sheer surprise.  Standing in front of me was a lavender pony with a dark purple mane that had a pink and magenta streak through it.  She had a mark on her flank that was a pink six-pointed star with 5 smaller white stars surrounding it. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Beginning //-------------------------------------------------------// The Beginning "Okay, time to play some Minecraft!" It was a warm Spring morning, I think roughly around April 15th.  I was just heading over to my computer to play Minecraft, as I had been itching to play ever since the new update rolled off the presses.  It was mostly bugfixes and crappy stuff like that.  I sat down and double-clicked on the shortcut I had conveniently placed on my taskbar.  Just like always, the Minecraft window popped up, and I logged in. The main screen came up and I eagerly clicked on the start button.  I typed in a world name, went to change the seed, and being a brony, I decided to change it to MLP:FiM.  I clicked on create world and it started up.  I got a nice world from what I saw: a lush forest with a pool of water nearby bordered by a small patch of sugarcane.  As I moved towards the water, I noticed the screen get slightly brighter.  I thought it was a glitch with the brightness settings(darn it, Notch), so I went into the settings and checked the brightness.  Sure enough, it was at it's lowest setting, moody.  I went back and kept moving forward.  With each and every step, the screen kept getting brighter.  Now I was really getting creeped out.  Suddenly, the bright light engulfed me, and I screamed as I fell in. "Ugh, where am I?  The heck?  Wait a sec, why am I all blocky?" I checked myself: Yep, I'm definitely blocky.  The realization hit me like a ten ton elephant:  I was in Minecraft. "Ookay, so I'm in Minecraft.  Not bad.  Well, like any Minecrafter would do, LET'S PUNCH SOME TREES!" I ran over to the nearest tree and delivered a hard punch to the trunk.  Strangely enough, that was all it took to break the block, which floated nearby.  I picked it up and it materialized in my hand as it's normal size. "Well, would ya look at that?  I'm not restricted to standard Minecraft rules.  Ha, take that Notch!" "Um, who's Notch?"
