Button Mash made his way through town with one goal in mind. The steely determination on his face showed he wasn't one to be screwed with at the moment. As he trotted forward he finally saw his destination. As he approached the yellow filly, she noticed him and smiled.
"Hey there Button. Ya need someth..."
"The gods demand tribute."
Yeah, Buttons a weirdo sometimes. Applebloom could definitely attest to this as she stared at Button who hadn't changed his expression nor gave any indication that he was going to explain what he meant. This left them awkwardly staring at each other. After, say, five minutes, Applebloom broke the silence.
"What?"
"The gods demand tribute."
With an eyedrow raised Applebloom asked, "And who maght these gods be Button Mash?"
Button Mash reached into his bag and pulled out a banana, "The gods of nutrition."
"Again Ah ask 'who' Button?"
The two foals stared at each other again, however, Button wasn't so steely determined at the moment as he kept shifting his hooves.
"Uh..." he finally squeaked out, "...my Mom."
Applebloom smiled, "Well ahlright Button, but here's my second question..." she pointed with her hoof at the fruit in Button's possession, "..what's with the banana?"
Button smirked suddenly, an expression he's not keen to wearing, trust me. It was almost scary until he pointed to a particular problem on the banana: it's broken stem.
"The antennas broke on this, I'd like to upgrade to an apple."
Applebloom looked at the banana, and then back at Button, and then back at the banana, and then back at Button. When she spoke she couldn't help but basically dump a bucket of confusion with her expression.
"What?"
"I'd like to upgrade to an apple. This device wasn't quite as good as I hoped." Button held the device and smiled as if nothing he had said was strange...that is, until a thought hit Applebloom.
"Button..." she began to ask, "Are you and Split still toge...?" before she had the chance to finish, fate decided to have a sense of humor and Applejack trotted into the conversation.
"Howdy Button! How ya doing?"
Button looked at Applejack in surprise...or, whatever it is that Button feels when things don't go...to...plan, yeah it's surprised. Button tends to say the wrong things when he's not...
"I'm conducting business between myself and this banana!"
...(cough) prepared.
"Uh okay...didn't know yer barn door swung that way Button."
Button could only stare at the orange mare completely oblivious. His eyes could only fixate themselves upon Applejack with the intent of digging the answer out of her brain surgically. Fortunately, this didn't happen, what did happen though is a certain pink pony came bounding out of...of the apple cart...somehow...don't ask.
"Hey Applejack! Hey Button Mash! Hey Applebloom! What's happening you guys?!"
Without hesitation Applejack replied, "Button's gay."
Pinkie didn't miss a beat, "Oh really!? That's good! I like it when ponies are gay cause it's happy!" Pinkie gasped loudly, "I need to throw the B.I.G. Party. Haha, the letters spell BIG." and with that Pinkie vanished into thin air.
