//------------------------------// // Button Mash // Story: Nights of Canterlot's Grand Barrel Bar // by NatetrixNarratorBro //------------------------------// "Anything else for you kid?" "Yeah, *hiccup* another o-one of your nice taste filled *hiccup* Apple Achoolic Ciders..." Another busy night of the grand and new Canterlot Grand Barrel Bar, open at nights where ponies can grab a drink after a long day. Located at the East corner down the main street of Canterlot, you will find the most alive and active bar in all of Canterlot during the nightly hours. The bar is nice and calming, where residents or travelers coming up the tall mountain, can sit down at the table or near the bar counter to order a good quality alcoholic beverage. Well, not most ponies can't come into the bar, those that are underage. Berry Punch, the bartender was grabbing another one large bottle of the sweet carving Apple Cider from under the counter and popping it open. Button Mash the one who asks for another Cider was putting two hoofs on his cheeks, waiting for his small shot glass to be poured with Cider, as Berry Punch lean the bottle in to pour into the shot glass when a voice shouts out to Berry Punch's left "Berry!". Berry Punch turn to see her boss standing, seeing her boss's arms folded and his cat bushy tail swaying back and forth, with the green trench he has on, plus to style in for work, her boss would always wear that green bow tie. As Berry look at her boss and let out a fake smile of nervousness, the bartender pony put back the bottle quickly under the bar counter and sheepishly smiled. "Hahaha... hey boss, um so-" the gray boss cat lift's up his finger half up in the air to stop Berry from speaking further, Berry's boss glared with his light green eyes darting at her. "Your drunk again Berry?" Berry's boss said. As Berry Punch chuckled at her boss, but her boss still had that same glare. "Haha, noooooo Boss I would um never be-" Berry Punch stop continuing to speak when her boss spoke again. "Berry Punch don't lie again?" "Yes...alright I'm drunk boss!" Berry Punch rub her hoof, and was in shame now. "Berry Punch go home." said her boss walking over to her on his two cat legs. Berry Punch looks at her boss, and with a nod and groan she march out the back door, as the boss watch her leave before turning to the other situation he has to deal with. With a deep breath from the boss cat, he turns to Button Mash as his head was down flat on the counter. Boss was not in the mood for this, he couldn't believe that this was happening now, even at his own bar! "Button?" said the boss cat, snapping his fingers close to Button's ear, as he perk up with a groan and smiled up at the cat. "H-hey *hiccup* Natetrix.... I-I thought you were working as my *hiccup* babysitter?..." Button Mash chuckled before slamming his head back down on the counter, as he mumbles on the counter, Natetrix snaps his fingers near Button's ear again, and Button grumbles perking back up at the cat. "Hey, I work jobs ok now Button this is the second time this year that you done this, and you have to stop bringing in these fake ages that you are an adult pony when your really sixteen Button," said Natetrix putting away Button's Shot glass and cleaning it with a wet rag, while Button lean his ears down slightly and his eyes looking angry. "Oh shut up! I am an adult and my mother doesn't think I can never be an adult!" Button said putting his hoofs on the counter, as Natetrix put away the glass under the counter and put his paws behind his back. "Button, you can't be coming here underage, your still to young, and secondly" Natetrix lean forward. "And your mother has points you know, your still young, and you have a lot to learn still." Button Mash turns his head away as Natetrix continues. "But this is not the way, and doing this now leaves to bad influences ahead of you." Button looks back at Natetrix, now his ears going down even more. Button eyes wondered as Natetrix saw his eyes, he knew Button had too much to drink tonight since Natetrix was late to work due to Twilight and helping out with her duties tonight, he couldn't stop Button Mash drinking but if he was here on time, there wouldn't be Button Mash sitting near the bar counter. Button Mash slam his hoof's gently on the counter and spoke randomly. "Oh Sweetie Bell, I need youuuu" Button said, he was under the achool's effects, probably took three shots of hard Cider. Danm it Berry, I have to fire her, and find a better Evening Bartender. Natetrix walk over to the other side of the bar counter. Button was still talking nonsense, still under the effects of the hard cider still. Natetrix tape Button shoulders as Button turn away from Natetrix. "N-no Mom *hiccup* it's not bed time..." Natetrix didn't have any other choices, he had to get Button out of the bar. Natetrix pick up Button Mash, carrying him by the cat's shoulders, Button Mash wasn't to heavy for Natetrix, he could possibly teleport Button home real quick and explain quick to Button's mom about this whole thing for a few minutes, plus it was a Monday night so the place wasn't that busy tonight as usual. "Noooo.... Mom don't put feed me carrots again...*hiccup*" Natetrix just chuckled and rolled his eyes, swiftly raising his cat palm up in front of him and opening a portal. As Natetrix carried Button into the portal, it shuts behind Natetrix. From the back door of the bar, Berry Punch open the door and while no pony was looking, went to the back of the bar counter, and took a large bottle of "Mango Sweet Equestria Wine" and leaves. "I don't leave without my *hiccup delicious wine hehehehehe."
