It has been eight years since Buttonmash and the CMC have graduated school and moved on with their lives. Button is a famous videogame designer, Sweetiebelle is on tour, Scootaloo is a stuntspony, and Applebloom is working on real estate while expanding the CMC. The CMC are still helping others, but have jobs as well, leaving almost no time to be free. Button, under the pressure of designing a new game, has become anti-social, and has blocked everypony out to focus. Rarity, worried for Button, calls the CMC for help to bring the Buttonmash, that Ponyville knows, back.

Rainbow Dash has developed a spectacular new routine for the Wonderbolts, but some of the ponies are finding it too physically demanding.

Is the new display too hard or is there some other reason why Thunderlane can’t stay on the pace?

Thunderlane is in love with Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow Dash is in love as well... With another pony.

Part of the Lunaverse

Set during Rainbowdoubledash's Crisis on Two Equestria's
A sequel to Emeral Bookwise's Two Many Carrot Tops

Many thanks to Grass and Clouds and Rainbowdoubledash and particularly to Emeral Bookwise for their help in writing this.

Sometimes the most awkward company to keep is your own.

Impossible as it might seem though, that's quite literally the situation Carrot Top and herself find themselves in. The situation is beyond surreal, to say the least, as each mare struggles with the effort of trying to relate and come to terms with someone who simultaneously so eerily similar and yet also so very different.

Is such a thing even possible?

Button mash's father died two years ago. He still hasn't recoverd. His grades have been slipping, he's lost interest in his games, and the already shy stallion has become extremely reserved.
His mother is too busy trying to support them to notice anything but his grades, and so she is missing the true danger.
There is only one pony who can save him now. Rated Teen for a foul mouthed Spoiled Rich in the fourth chapter.

Button has to go back to the troubles of teenage life, which includes patching things up at home, keeping his friends....and trying to make things less awkward between him and his X-Marefriend Sweetie belle in this dark,cheerful and even comedic insightful take on a Colts high school life and general experiences.

This is told through the perspective of a bitter teenage gamer trying to survive in high school and keep control with the crumbling world around him.

Have you ever felt like you were being judged because of something you had done?

I have... and it's not a good feeling, let me tell you that. But I swear that I had no choice. You see, many ponies can control the urges they get. Me? Well... I'm not one of them, and neither is Thunderlane. We both wanted the same thing, so naturally we were prepared to do whatever it took to get it.

Even if it did mean doing something that most ponies wouldn't exactly approve of...

Written Script, little brother of Ditzy Doo gets a call one day. His sister is in the hospital and there's nopony to take care of little Dinky. He catches the first train to Ponyville where he meets one of his sister's friends Carrot Top. The severity of Derpy's condition put's Dinky's future in there hooves.
Written plans on taking Dinky back to live with him in Detrot but that might not be what's best for Dinky and Derpy. Or Carrot Top either. But it is better than the alternative. He won't let his niece become an orphan in the system.

Written Script is the stallion's name [according to unicorn names wiki] and the character Sparkle is the unicorn who was entered with Dinky in the Sisterhood Social.
Please don't hate me for the reason Derpy's not well. I did it in a way that says she's not 100% there but you're still an arse if you're mean to her.

Basiclly, from the latest episode [Just For Side-Kicks] I don't accept the theory that Carrot top is Dinky's mother and I wrote this to justify my head-canon.
Also my internet died for two days so I had nothing better to do than write this.
