Chapter 6: Cream Heart

"How'd she get in here? Even if she is the mother of Button Mash over here, there should've at least been a dozen guards or so to prevent someone from just marching straight to the elevator until you've identified yourself at the least." Tex said. Suddenly, a bunch of wounded Digimon showed up as well.

"...Yeah my mom can go completely and utterly bonkers when she worries about my safety. Must be part of how her special talent ended up taking care of foals." Button Mash said.

"Your mom's a caretaker?" Sweetie Belle said.

"I thought I mentioned that before." Button Mash said.

"...You know, now that I think about it, I remember you saying that some NPC in one of your games that took care of orphans reminded you of your mother. I didn't think you meant like that though." Sweetie Belle said.

"So, can some pony or some creature please tell me what the heck is going on here? I come into your room, then find your TV all messed up, and now I'm stuck in this area. As soon as it was confirmed that you were here, I rushed up here." Button Mash's mother said.

"It's nice to know you care about Button Mash, Mrs. Heart." Sweetie Belle said.

"Oh please, I've told you that you can just call me Cream." Cream Heart said.

"But that almost sounds like something I'd put in coffee. And I don't drink that stuff." Sweetie Belle said.

"To be fair, not a lot of ponies do. Least of all pegasi." Rumble said. "I made the mistake of drinking coffee once. Couldn't fly straight the entire day after." He added.

"So that's why you ended up colliding with me while I was riding my scooter." Scootaloo said. "I wondered why you were so disoriented that day." She added.

"And now you know why I told you to never drink coffee if you plan on flying." Rumble said.

"Okay, seriously, what is going on here?!" Cream Heart exclaimed.

"How much time you got?" Sweetie Belle asked.


It had taken a good long while, but eventually, the group of foals caught Cream Heart up to speed on what was happening.

"...I see..." Cream Heart said. "I guess this is the one time you can use your various video game knowledge to your advantage." She added. "Still, do you even know how long you'll be away for?" The earth mare asked.

"You aren't going to stop me from saving the world essentially?" Button Mash asked.

"I could, but then that would be a bad thing. After all, if you don't save the world, who else will? And besides, you won't be alone. So I can at least have knowledge in the fact that your friends will keep you safe." Cream Heart said, before turning to Terror. "...Well, them and these Digimon." The mare added.

"I'll try to save the world as fast as I can mom." Button Mash said.

"That's great for you, but we were out for a school camp." Diamond Tiara said.

"Don't worry, I'll simply cover you if you end up taking more then a day." Cream Heart said. "But do try to be home before the week ends; I would hate to have to spill the beans on what you really did." She added.

With that, Button Mash's mother left the way she came in.

"...Damn Button, your mom is something else. I wish my mom was like yours." Diamond Tiara said. "I take back all the nerd stuff I've said about you over the years." She added.

"She was right about one thing: My video game know how is going to help us to a degree. After all, I know a lot about Digimon." Button Mash said.

"I do too you know." Sweetie Belle said.

"I know. But you don't know every thing I do." Button Mash said.

"Prove it." Sweetie Belle said.

"Sure. Terror, see that far wall?" Button Mash asked.

"Sure." Terror said.

"Launch a Howling Wind attack in that direction." Button Mash said.

"Err...okay." Terror said before doing just that.

"Wha--" Sweetie Belle was stunned.

"How'd you know he could do that?" Scootaloo asked.

"Had a feeling." Button Mash said.

"...Okay, you've proven your point now. Should we get going?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"We could, but it's getting late. It was already night time when we got here." Button Mash said.

"Yeah, it does look like it's pretty dark out. Guess we're staying the night." Silver Spoon said before getting out a tally sheet.

"What are you doing?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Going to keep a tally of how many nights we spend here. Just for reference's sake." Silver Spoon said.

"Uh huh. You do you." Apple Bloom said.

"...Why do I feel like that'll be important later?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't know why, but I have the same strange feeling." Rumble said.
