Button and his mom got dried off and headed back to their spot. Button's mom put her shell in the bag to pack before they leave, even if she forgot the shell, she would get upset. She looked back at her son with concern, she still wanted to know what Button wants to do.
Button was still thinking of it, but kept it secret. Well, he thought it would be best if he could just tell her what he wants to do instead of surprise her. If his mom was surprised by an action that Button's doing to her, then she'll think it's like torture.
"So, Button, what is it you want to do?", Button's mom asked. "You've been keeping what you want to do in your head since we got back here."
Button took a deep breath and prepared himself to let his secret words fall out. "Mom, I don't want to be too ridiculous to say this, I think I want to get payback on your for embarrassing me in front ponies around the beach when I was wearing that tube.", he said.
His mother blinked a few times, then she rolled her eyes one time. "Oh come on.", she said. "Is this what's it all about, I embarrassed you in front of ponies when I told you to wear the tube? Button, it was just a plain ole tube. Why are you making it a big deal of it?"
"I used to wear it when I was smaller.", Button said. "You can't just bring my childish things around before we go to the beach and expect me to be excited about it."
"Button, enough with the tube thing, just tell what you want to do.", Button's mom said. "I can't tolerate waiting for you to answer any longer."
Button took a deep breath and let his words fall out of his mouth once more. This time, the real words he wanted to say. "I want to... bury you in the sand.", he said. "I want to go up to your chest, if you're comfortable with it."
"Button, are you crazy, you want payback by burying me in the sand?!", Button's mom asked, afraid. She hated being buried in the sand, even alive.
"Well duh.", Button said. "Is it really that big of a deal?"
"Being buried alive is seriously dangerous.", Button's mom said with a warn. "You can't breathe while being buried alive. It'll kill you."
"I didn't say I'd bury you alive, I said up to your chest, you will still able to breathe at that point.", Button said. "Plus, you won't die."
"Well, that is a good point.", Button's mom said. "But, when you're buried you can't move, I mean you can hardly move, but still..."
"Tell you what, I'll keep the sand soft, so you'll be able to get out.", Button said. "So, can I please bury you."
Button's mom perked her ears down and relaxed her eyes. "Alright, if this is going to be your payback, then you can absolutely bury me.", she said bravely. She grabbed her sunglasses and prepared herself.
Button grabbed his shovel and found a spot on the sand for his mom. He put his hoof on the sand and flattened it, nice and soft, and still enough to get comfortable. "Okay, mom, I got myself prepared.", he said. "Are you prepared?"
Button's mom sat down on the spot her son found for her. "Kind of, Button.", she said, nervous. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure, mom, there's no harm included in this.", Button said. "Now, lay down on your back."
Button's mom laid down her back against the sand. Her son gave her the next step. "Now, I want you to relax.", he said.
Button's mom closed her eyes and took three deep breaths, her stomach rising and falling within her breath. She looked at her front hooves. "You're not going to get the front hooves, are you?", she asked. "I need my front hooves to help me get out."
"Nah, just put your front hooves behind your head to get comfortable.", Button said.
Button's mom put her front hooves behind her head and laid her head on them. "Okay, Button, give me whatever you got.", she said. "But, go easy on me."
Button scooped some sand in his shovel and poured it on his mother's belly. He scooped loads of sand until he covered up his mother's belly and waist were covered up.
As his mother's belly and waist got covered up, she felt her nerves creep up. She felt her heart race which made her breathe faster.
Button put his hoof on his mom's head to calm her down. "Shhhhh, just relax, mom, relax and sleep, it will only make things easier.", he cooed in a calm voice.
His mother calmed down and closed her eyes to go to sleep. She relaxed and smiled, the calm voices that Button makes helps her calm down quickly.
Button picked up his shovel and continued burying his mother. He scooped loads of sand until her flanks were covered up. Then, he scooped up sand and poured it on half of his mom's hooves. He decided to leave the last half of her hooves out. He scooped a little more sand and patted the sand down. He went over to his mother's head and patted her left cheek to wake her up. "Mom, wake up.", he said softly.
His mom's eyes fluttered open.
"It's over.", Button said.
Button's mom lifted her head and looked at all the sand that was put on her. "I guess I'm kind of used to it now, Button.", she said.
"That's good to hear.", Button said. "And do you know what's going to happen next?"
"Nope.", Button's mom said. "What?"
"I want to say that you won't embarrass me anymore.", Button admitted.
Button's mother was surprised. "That's it, you want me to stop embarrassing you?", she asked.
"Yep, that's exactly what I want you to do.", Button said.
Button's mother rolled her eyes. "Yeah, there's no way I'm saying that.", he said.
"Oh yeah, I bet this will change your mind.", Button said. He went over to the bottom half where the last half of his mom's hooves were bare. He sat down right in front of them.
"Button, what's the big idea?", Button's mom asked. She gasped as she saw Button pick up his tail with his hoof. The tip of her tail was aiming straight at her hooves. "Button, what are you going to do? Why are you pointing your tail at my-" She gasped again, seeing her back hooves were covered up.
"You see, Mom, this is what you get for embarrassing me.", Button taunted. "As payback, I will use my tail to tickle your hooves until you give in and promise me not to embarrass me again."
"Oh no.", Button's mom yelped. "Button, please, don't do it."
"Too bad, Mom, here it comes.", Button said. He moved his tail to his mom's right hoof and slowly stroked it up and down.
Button's mom wanted to hold in her laughter, but instead she let out a small giggle. "Hahaha. Button, Sweetiehehe, please don't tickle me.", she said.
But, Button didn't stop, he just went on, but faster. "Oh no, Mom, you just made it worse for yourself.", he teased.
Button's mom's laughter increased. "Ahhhhhhahahahahahaha! Button, no!", she laughed.
"Do you promise not to embarrass me next time we come here?", Button asked, still stroking his mom's hoof with his tail.
"Hehehe. *snort* Yes, I promise, Button.", Button's mom laughed. "Please stop. Hahahahaha. Stop tickling my hooves. Woo."
"Alright.", Button said as he stopped tickling his mom's right hoof. "Can I tickle your hooves a little bit more. This time the left one." Without an answer from his mom, he began tickling her left hoof.
Button's mom didn't say anything, if she tried to make Button stop, Button will just ignore it and keep going on. His mom just had to give up and just let her son tickle her hoof. She did nothing else, but laugh and snort as she felt her hoof being stroked by Button's tail.
Button's hoof was getting tired for moving his tail up and down to tickle his mom's hoof. Button stopped tickling his mom and put his tail down. "So, you want to get out now?", he asked, walking up to her head.
"Not yet.", Button's mom said. "In fact, I like how relaxing this is." She leaned her head back, closed her eyes, and went to sleep in peace.
Button smiled and stroked his mother's mane while she snores. She looked at his mom's bare back hooves, he decided that he was going to cover up her hooves. He grabbed his bucket and covered up his mom's hooves.
