//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: YouTuber: Button Mash // by TheAnimerican //------------------------------// Button Mash's computer was ringing and he rushed quickly to answer the call. He checked the username to see that it was Sweetie Belle, he quickly settled in his chair and answered the call. The screen immediately showed Sweetie Belle, but for some reason, her attention was away from the camera. She then noticed that the phone stopped ringing and made eye contact with Button Mash, "Hey Button! How is everything?" "Great! Just as I thought, I have the best fans and they weren't upset at all about the cancelled live stream. I made up for it when they donated a large amount of bits to the channel and I donated to the Red Cross." "That's great! I'm so happy for you." "Thanks Sweetie. How is your World Tour going?" "We have our ups and downs, but overall it is going very well. Actually, that is why I called you. You are not going to believe who I ran into. Apparently, this fan of yours has attempted to contact you, but he understood that you were probably too busy. I told him that you are a friend of mine and he asked if he could meet you. I hope you didn't mind." "No not at all. I'm always happy to meet a fan." "Okay. Here he is." Sweetie Belle then shifted the camera to another pony in the room. The pony was a male, with a short black mane and wore a shirt with a red pixelated "C." When Button Mash saw who it was, his jaw nearly dropped to the floor and found himself unable to utter a single word. The best way to describe him was that he was starstruck. "Sw-Sw-Sweetie Belle, is th-th-th-th-th-that-?" The other colt smiled, "Hello, my name is Coltiplier and it is awesome to finally talk to you." Button nearly fell out of his seat when Colitplier spoke. "Sweetie, you said it was a fan!" "But I am a fan. I found your videos to be really funny and I admire the fact that you donate a lot to charity." "Colitiplier is a fan of my videos!?!" "Uh Button Mash," Sweetie Belle interrupted, "maybe you should try talking to him." Button blushed in embarrassment at the joke and laughter from Coltiplier. "Just take a deep breath and take it easy. We are both stallions and just having a chat. That's all. Just a couple of good looking professional youtubers having a nice talk. Right?" Although Button's favorite was right in front of him, it did help that Coltiplier was joking around in an attempt to calm him down. Button then took a deep breath and made his second attempt to talk, "It is... I just... This is just... Wow!" Once again, he failed. "I know right? I almost feel the same way." "I am, well, I am just so flattered that you are a fan of MY work." "Absolutely. I have been trying to get in touch with you because I was hoping we could do a colab together." "What!?! You w-w-w-w-want to do a colab? With m-m-m-me?" "Sure, but uh, I think I will check back with you another day when you have recovered." Button let out a nervous giggle, "I'm sorry. It's just that, you have no idea right now." Coltiplier laughed, "No I have a small idea. So here's my personal email address." Coltiplier raised his hooves to show a piece of paper with his email address. Button quickly made a note of it and replied, "Thank you Coltiplier. I'm really sorry about this." "Oh don't be sorry. We can talk later. I have to get going anyways. Ms. Bella, thank you so much for letting me meet him. You are a very lucky mare." Sweetie Belle giggled, "Thank you. Please keep in touch and call me Sweetie. I really enjoyed meeting you." "Yeah! Maybe we can make a video together one day." "That sounds like fun. Just umm, no horror games please." "No problem there." "Shall I show you the way out?" "No that's fine I can find my own way out. Thank you Sweetie. We'll talk later Button?" Button immediately sat at attention, "Yes yes! Absolutely!" "Great. Talk to you later. Buh-bye!" Coltiplier said to Button in his regular outro. As soon as he left the room, Sweetie Belle redirected the camera to her. She took one look at Button's face and could not help but burst into tears of joy. "Sweetie! Why did you catch me off guard like that!?! That was Coltiplier! My inspiration! My favorite! A colt I adore!" "Now we're even for making me play that game." Button had no counterargument; instead he simply mumbled to himself. "So? Was he everything you thought he would be?" "Nope... He was more. Oh sweet Celestia he was so much more. Thanks Sweetie." "Of course. He was a very nice colt and I feel like we just made a new friend." "My heart is still pounding and my hooves won't stop shaking." "I bet. I guess that makes us even again." "For what?" "For that night in Ponyville and showing that you truly are a great friend." "Right... a great friend," Button tried to hide it, but he made it too obvious that he was disappointed. "What? You don't want to be my friend?" "No no no! I mean, yes I do. I mean, what I meant was-. Oh. Ugh!" Sweetie Belle laughed, "I was just kidding. And uh..." She then moved closer to her webcam and gave Button a kiss as if she was in the room with him. "Don't worry. I do too. It's just that, with all the traveling I am doing and how busy I am, now isn't the best time. You think you can wait for just a little bit longer?" Button's heart raced and was very happy to hear that Sweetie felt the same way. After he looked at those green eyes of her shine like a little sorry puppy, how could he have said "no" to her. "Sweetie, I miss you so much and I would like this to work. I can wait for a little while longer." Button said with a smile as he gazed at her eyes once more. "I'm happy to hear you say that. Unfortunately, I have to go now. I will be sure to write and we will have a day to spend time together. I promise." "Don't work too hard. Bye Sweetie." "Bye." The video called ended. After the call, Button felt content and relaxed by stretching out his legs. He then went to lie on his bed and just stared at the ceiling. So far, he had the best day of his life. Another video ready to upload, he met his favorite YouTuber and the pony he had a crush on felt the same way. He then looked to his shelf and saw the CD that Sweetie left him before the concert. He got out of bed and placed the CD into the computer. What a way to finish the day.
