//------------------------------// // medium // Story: Game of love // by Blackraven //------------------------------// It was quite a big dinner table. With a several extensions (it was a square at the time but if the extension where put into place it would be an octagon) that has the reach of probably 2 crocodiles in length and width, which was actually sad cause it would be meant for a huge family and yet it wasn’t. Well at least tonight it would be filled up a little more than usual. With a soft voice love tap said "I hope very pony is ready for the dinner " "Let's hope you cooking skills have improved from we last saw each other love tap”. filthy rich said with a wide grin on his face. "What do you mean 'improved’, my mom is the best cook I know ". said the sweet little colt Rich turned to the chocolate brown colt. Well you see little colt your mother burnt down the high school kitchen when we were at collage together taking cooking classes. As if almost instant blink of an eye button mash started giggling which almost turned into a roaring laughter of it wasn’t for the colt’s hooves. Lucky his mother went to go fetch the food from the kitchen so she wasn't able to see or hear her giggling son. After a few seconds the young colts began to hold in more his laughter with more control and few more moments later the laughter of the chocolate colt was gone Diamond tiara both annoyed by his giggles and how high pitched it was for a mere giggle said spoke "It wasn't that funny" and under her breath she also said “dumb blank flank " The earth pony colt immediately stopped laughing. Button mashes mother had finally entered the room with a big pot of roast pumpkin, mashed potatoes and some carrots. Whilst balancing the huge pot in her head Diamond tiara new they wouldn't have any of her taste which was expensive, extremely crazy expensive. Here usual appetizers were mini lobsters, main course was a 20 king sized prawns and for dessert ice cream cake or truffle. Depending on the weather outside usually meant which desert she would get. However, she knew what she will get off she opens her mouth to say something to hurt some pony’s feelings or dare she says it. Call button mash a tasteless and middle class BLANK FLANK. Mustering all her will power, the small fill held her venomous words tightly in her mind and locking it up was hard but it was worth it she means not meeting her father wrath. Just as expected the young fill thought of herself. ugh self-served she moaned in her mind. reaching for the plate and grabbing it with her mouth. Grabbing the plate, the pink earth filly gently settled the ceramic plea on her side of the large table Diamond opened her mouth ready to be food poisoned which she will expect it to be a foul play from button mash. She opens her mouth and ingest a tiny piece of pumpkin with a small piece of carrot and a tiny piece of potato to accommodate the pumpkin. She slowly chews the edible’s created by the nurturer of her mortal nemesis and ....... And ......... And .......it’s delicious? It was a divine rush of sweet and spicy flavor with a hint of tang. Diamond tiara could not believe what was happening or in this case what she was tasting. O my celestia MS mash this is; this is......amazing. A small smirk came across button mashes Face. Diamond realize what she has said, which was a compliment to the enemy. she could have said it to her friends, to her relatives .to any pony else but she had to open her mouth and say it to the enemy, or at least the mother of her enemy A big and beautiful smile comes across lianas face and thanks Diamond for the compliment. Love tap also adds "Well I can’t take all the credit sweet heart, my son also helped me prepare the food". Diamond jaw immediately drops but not because of the food. Ok maybe a little bit because of the food but to the fact that she also complimented her enemy. The smirk on button mashes face beginning to grow wider and wider. Diamond tiara grew more irritated as buttons smirk became wider. The thick as smog tensions was immediately however it was almost effortlessly cut off with the 2 grown-ups of the table started talking to each other sharing stories and catching up on old time and a few words where said which went over the foal’s head but not much heed was paid to the undefined vocabulary. Eventually the beautiful yet horrid meal was vanished of the table Trying to being a gentle colt button mash took Diamond tiara plate and Mr. filth riches plate Love tap had to go to the kitchen for some dessert Mr. rich followed in for some odd reason. He didn't have anything to say to the 2 foals on the table. To Diamond tiara this was not an issue but for button mash this was all the red flags gone up, heck, this is every flag gone. Button urgently needed to get to the kitchen to find out, why Mr. rich was in there, why was he in the kitchen with his mother all alone. He had to move he had to - Diamond tiara interrupted button mash thinking bubble for plans of scouting the grown-ups “hey blaaaaaaaaaaanket " Button mash immediately looked up at Diamond tiara Although it was weird Button mash new that it was an attempt to stop herself from calling him a blank flank. He still grinned and laughed a tiny bit in his mind for calling him a blanket instead of a blank flank. The statement was kind of embarrassing and made Diamond look a little bit stupid. Mph, blanket, that’s new a one. “Shut up yaaaaaaaaaa.” “Yaaaaa what.” *sigh*” never mind .so any way button bash. What ya got to do for fun around here” "Ya" ha you sounding more like apple bloom now Diamond, maybe you are hanging around them to much Well it’s a shame button bash you not hanging around them at all with the little sweetie belle event you had on hearts and hooves day. remember An irritated grunt came from the young colt. “Well anyway button bash you got any games for me to play with that is sophisticated, educational and well thought-out game. Huh?” Usually this would be Diamond tiaras go to card when she wants to irritate button mash but not this time. “Well yes actually, button said with a smirk on his face. I got a game that is sophisticated classy and a guarantee that you are going to lose" metal head”. Button had his own arsenal of words to use but his favorite was crown stone and pebble tiara.” “O bring it on, what is the name of this lame game that I’m going to beat in an ease.” Button grabbed Diamond tiaras hooves and ran to his gaming room which he had on the top floor next to the toilet. The positioning of the toilet was very helpful on burrito night. Every Tuesday. While dragging Diamond tiara to the game room, he looked back and saw her covering her face and was wondering what was the need to do this. When they finally reached to their destination button mash saw that Diamond tiara was a bit sweaty and he was still holding her hooves so he could feel that she was a bit warm, no, not warm, hot actually. “What are you doing you blank flank let go of me.” Button thought it was weird cause she’s telling him to let go but she had the ability to move her hooves away from button mash's hooves herself and yet she didn’t. Button turned on his neigh station 8. The hay-tivisition logo appeared on the 32-inch flat screen TV. Eventually the game name appeared on the screen. "Totally Accurate Tea party simulator?" “Yup” button mash said with a high and might tone. “Only the best of the best gamers can beat this game and I’m one of them.” Button mash went to the online server and showed Diamond tiara a sparkling trophy icon on his name and he was “number one in the WHOLE OF EQUESTRIA!” Diamond tiara shouted not expecting this kind of an achievement. “What scared Diamond tiara” Quickly realizing the error, the filly quickly thought of a way to recover the conversation No, it was just a scream of excitement for when I take down your high score, Becoming equestrian’s number one gamer.
