The Cutie Mark Crusaders have been doing activity after activity and Button Mash still doesn’t have his cutie mark.
“What do we do y’all?” Apple Bloom panicked. “We’ve done tons of activities an’ Button still doesn’t have his cutie mark.”
“I don’t know. He hasn’t gotten a cutie mark from any of the activities,” Scootaloo added.
Sweetie Bell had a worried face until an idea came into her head. “Girls! I think I know how to get Button Mash his cutie mark!”
“How so?” asked Scootaloo.
“We should ask him what he likes. Whatever he likes, he’ll just do that, and maybe he might get his cutie mark.”
“That’s a great idea,” Apple Bloom said. “Come on girls!”
The Cutie Mark Crusaders ran back to Button Mash.
“So Button, what do you like to do?” asked Sweetie Belle.
“Well, I like playing video games.”
Scootaloo bursted into excitement. “I like video games too! What’s your favorite game?”
“Minecraft.”
“I like Minecraft too! Say what, how about you and me have a battle, best out of ten?”
“Sure.”
The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Button ran all the way to Button’s house. Two screens were on and ready.
“So Button? Do you know everything about Minecraft PvP?”
“Well, not really.”
“Okay. Now is a good time to teach you some basics.”
After a couple minutes of tutoring, Button was ready to face Scootaloo. Both of them had diamond armor, a shield, a crossbow, sword, and axe.
“I’ll go easy on you and then escalate.”
The first battle started. Button Mash finished it with an axe crit.
“Alright, I’m gonna make this one quick.”
Second battle, Button Mash headshotted Scootaloo with his crossbow.
“Okay, beginner's luck. But don’t expect to win the last seven.”

“Alright, so it’s 8-1, but that’s not a problem. I was just joking those last times. Now I’m serious.”
Ninth battle, another win for Button.
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!” Scootaloo rage quitted and tackled Button.
“AAAAHHHH!!” Button screamed as Scootaloo pinned him to the floor.
“Scootaloo stop!” Apple Bloom screamed as she and Sweetie Belle separated her from Button.
“What’s going on in there?” asked Button’s mom.
“Nothing!” said Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.
“What did you do that for?!” Sweetie Belle asked concernedly.
“This guy is hacking!” Scootaloo exclaimed. “I swear this kid is using aimbot with that crossbow!”
“No he isn’t!” Apple Bloom confirmed. “An’ that wasn’t very nice Scootaloo. He was just tryin' to get his cutie mark.”
Scootaloo let out a deep breath. “I’m sorry Button. That wasn’t a very nice thing for me to do. You were just trying to find your destiny. Are you okay?”
Button was panting from the past event. “Yeah… I’m… I’m okay.”
After saying that, Scootaloo noticed something on the colt’s flank. “Whoa. Look at your cutie mark Button!”
Button turned his head to his flank and was smiling. On there, was a grey plus sign with a circle in the middle of it with triangles surrounding it. It looked like a button on a controller.
“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!! Thank you SO much Cutie Mark Crusaders!”
“You’re welcome Button,” they all said in unison.
Button then went running to his mother. “Mom! I got my cutie mark!”
“Well Crusaders, another day, another pony getting their cutie mark,” said Apple Bloom.
“I want a rematch,” Scootaloo whispered.
