Cover image not final, I just needed something to put up there. Will bellowing for a new one shortly.

Button Mash has always liked Sweetie Belle. She was fashionable, yet not afraid to get dirty. She was smart, but enjoyed to play video games with him.

(Other character tag: Button Mash)

Button Mash is an extremely experienced gamer, he's defeated many powerful and frighting opponents in games, and has proven to many up-start gamers how a 'veteran' plays. Whatever the challenge, no matter how hard, he proved to his opposition why he was the better fighter; but, after a simple question, he now has new opponent to face, one he never liked or wanted to have ever met, his classmate Sweetie Belle.

(This story is based on this story. It had promise, but was unfortunately cancelled. I'm tagging this as 'Teen' due that I will mention some sexual stuff, and I want to play it safe. Also, it's mostly told from Button Mash's perspective.)
(Also, the cover art I'm using is done by Dennybutt on Deviantart.)
(Edit 5/8/17: I wrote a side-story to this, that kinda takes place between Chapter 3 and 4 of this story. It's called 'Their Date')

Due to her son's falling grades Button's Mom decides to find him a tutor, Button is not particularly fond of this idea but when the tutor arrives he finds that she isn't at all what he imagined.

8th grade has just rolled in for Button Mash and already it has been like every school year, almost everyone thinks he is a huge nerdy weirdo and he still doesn't have a cutie mark, not like he cares or anything. Luckily for him he does have friends in the Cutie Mark Crusaders, whom he trusts enough to tell them anything...well, almost anything. He has a secret that he has kept successfully hidden from the outside world for years. For better or for worse he is forced to make his secret come to light when his best friend Sweetie Belle convinces him to sign up for a Ponyville talent show.

Button Mash likes video games. Sweetie Belle likes Button Mash. Button doesn't know much about Sweetie. Sweetie doesn't know much about video games. Following this formula, Sweetie Belle decides she must learn to like video games in order for Button to learn to like her. It's a solid plan.

Except for the fact that she sucks at video games.

Button Mash and Sweetie Belle decide to play Minecraft.

So of course, Minecraft decides to start spouting out of the computer and turning Button's house into hundreds of blocks, hostile mobs are spawning in his home and roam free, he has no idea when his mom is getting home, Sweetie Belle has no idea what she's doing, and as if that wasn't enough...

Button has absolutely no idea how to reverse this.

Totally normal day, right?

Inspired by the popular video Don't Mine at Night as well as a 90's movie called Jumanji while also paying homage to an 1879 opera called "Pirates of Penzance" in the form of an (attempted) song parody.
