The "Adventure"!!!

by OfficialDerp


Chapter 1

Two young ponies, one a filly, the other a colt, are playing a video game. The colt is brown with a spiky reddish mane, wearing a hat. The filly is white with a pink and purple mane.

“Hey, Sweetie Belle?” asks the colt.

“What, Button Mash?” replies the filly.

“This is fun and all, but it’s getting kind of boring. Wouldn’t you want to go on a real adventure?” asks the one named Button Mash.

“Hmm… I don’t know…” says the one named Sweetie Belle.

“Come on! It’ll be fun! It’s just like in our video games, but for reals!” There’s a pause while Sweetie thinks about Button’s offer.

“Alright. You’ve talked me into it. I’ll go!”

“Cool! We can go in the morning!”

Score! Thinks Button. I got Sweetie to go on an adventure with me!

Alright! Thinks Sweetie. I’m going on an adventure with Button! The next morning they meet in the park.

“So, where are we going to have our adventure? Here?” asks Sweetie.

“No, of course not! What’s an adventure without a little danger? That’s why we’re having our adventure in the Everfree forest!” suggests Button.

Woah. Sweetie thinks. I don’t think that’s such a good idea, but I don’t want to be scared in front of Button. Ok! I’ll go! “Sounds like fun!” replies Sweetie. Button is surprised.

I didn’t think she’d be into it so quickly! He thinks. Well, if she wants to go, I’ll go! “Alright! Got your bags with supplies?” Button asks.

“Yep! You?” Sweetie replies. “Check. Now, let’s do this!” They march into the Everfree forest, Button in front.

Wow, this is scary. But I need to be brave. For her. He looks back at Sweetie. She smiles. They keep on walking for a while. Then, Sweetie spots a butterfly amongst the trees.

“Oooh! A butterfly!” She chases after it.

“Sweetie!” Button yells after her. “Ugh. Here we go again.” He chases after her. After a while Sweetie loses the butterfly.

“Where is it?” she asks.

“More importantly, where are we?” Button says.

Oh no, Sweetie thinks. I’ve gotten us lost! What’ll we do?!?!?!? She sits down and starts hyperventilating.

“What’s wrong?” Button asks. He sits down next to her. “Are you ok? We’ll find our way back, I promise!” He puts his arm around her and looks her in the eyes. “It’s ok. I’ll get us both home.” Sweetie starts to breathe normally again.

“Thank you.” She says. She smiles at Button. He smiles back. They get up.

“Okay, now which way did we go to get here?” Button asks.

“I have no idea!” replies Sweetie. “Oh no. I knew it! We’re lost! And it’s all my fault!”

“Shush! It is not your fault!” says Button. “If it’s anypony’s fault, it’s mine! I’m the one who wanted to go here. So calm down. If you don’t we’re never going to get out of here!” Sweetie’s shocked speechless. She’s never heard Button talk like that. Oh no, thinks Button. I’ve made her upset. “I’m sorry. Let’s just try to get home.” Dang it. Now she hates me! What have I done?

After a while of looking around for an exit, Button sees some flowers. Oh! Sweetie might like those. He thinks. He picks one and brings it to her.

“Oooh! It’s so pretty! For me?”

Button nods.

“Thanks!” She takes the flower, smiles, and Button thinks,

Maybe she doesn’t hate me. They keep walking for a while and night starts to fall. “Let’s stop here. Look, I found some stuff for a fire!” Button says.

“Do you know how to set a fire?” Sweetie asks.

“I can try!” replies Button. In a little bit he’s got a fire going.

“How did you do that?!?” asks a bewildered Sweetie.

“Who ever said you don’t learn anything from video games?” he replies. They make places to sit at the fire and sit down. “You know,” says Button “We probably shouldn’t have gone in here.”

“Yeah,” replies Sweetie. “We shouldn’t have.”

“I only came in here because you were going in and I wanted to look brave for you.” Says Button.

“Really?” “Because, I only came in here because you suggested it and I wanted to look brave for you!”

“Really? Wow. That’s ironic!”

Sweetie giggles, and they both smile and look into each other’s eyes. Sweetie blushes and looks away, still smiling. Button grabs her hoof. She looks up, surprised. He smiles at her, and she smiles back.

“Sweetie?” says Button.

“Yes?” Sweetie replies.

“There- there’s something I need to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I-I know we’re really good friends and all, but, I’ve been meaning to tell you this.”

“Yes?”

Come on Button, you can do it… “I- I really like you, Sweetie. Like, more than a friend.” Sweetie’s surprised.

OMC, I-I-I-I don’t know what to say! “R-really? Cause I- I have to tell you something, too.”

“Really? What is it?”

“I-I really like you, too.”

“Really?!?” asks Button. Sweetie nods. Then, it happens. Button kisses Sweetie!

OMC… I can’t believe this is happening!!!!!!!! Sweetie thinks as they’re kissing.

Wow, I can’t believe I’m doing this!!!!! Button thinks. They look in each other’s eyes, both thinking Wow… They grab each other in a hug, smiling, until Sweetie gets so tired she falls asleep with Button still holding her.

“Goodnight.” Button says, smiling. He sets her down in a comfortable spot, finds a spot for himself, and falls asleep. Sweetie is woken up first by breath on her face. She opens her eyes and sees a Timberwolf standing right there. She screams, waking up Button. They’re surrounded by Timberwolves! Sweetie gets up and runs off into the woods.

“Seriously, Sweetie?” Button chases after her. He can hear the Timberwolves in the background. He catches up to Sweetie.

“Hey, are you okay?” He says, out of breath from running.

“Yeah, we just gotta outrun these guys.” Sweetie says, also out of breath. They run until they’re pretty sure they’ve lost the them. They sit behind a tree while they catch their breath.

“Celestia, that was scary.” Button said after a while.

“Yeah.” Sweetie replies. They look at each other and, without having to say anything, they hold each other until they’re both calmed down enough to look around for the exit.

“Come on,” Button says. “Let’s look for that way out.” He offers his hoof to Sweetie, and she takes it. They walk around in silence until Sweetie breaks the silence.

“I’m hungry!” So they find a place to sit down and eat some food. They talk and tell jokes for a little. Suddenly, rainclouds start to swirl around the forest.

“What the…” Button begins, but is disrupted by the downpour of rain that starts so suddenly.

“Ahhhh!” exclaims Sweetie.

“Come on, let’s find like a cave or something.” Offers Button. “And it was such a nice day, too…” After a while of looking, Button finds a nice cave.

“I don’t think this is a good idea, Button…” Sweetie says.

“Oh, come on, Sweetie. It’s perfectly fine!” They set down their stuff and Button starts a fire with the left over stuff that they have from yesterday. They sit eating for a little. Then, Button hears something in a tree outside. It must be the wind… he thinks. But wait, wind doesn’t hum… “Wait here, Sweetie.” He says. He checks out what it is. He sees a mysterious Pegasus pop out from inside the tree. Her mane appears to be blonde.

“Hello!” she says.

“Hi…” Button replies. “What are you doing here?”

“What are you doing here?” she replies. Button can’t really get a good look at her face.

“Hey, if you’re willing, can you tell us which way the exit is?” he asks.

“Okay! Let me just go and check.” She flies off. Well, Button thinks That was weird. He goes back inside the cave.

“Who was it?” Sweetie asks.

“Just some weird Pegasus. I didn’t even get to see her face.” He replies. “Oh well.”

They keep eating and talking. The silence is once again broken by Sweetie.

“I’m tired!”

“Goodnight.” Button says. He kisses her on the cheek and they both go to bed. The next morning, Sweetie wakes up first. This time she isn’t met with a Timberwolf, though. This time, she is met with something even worse…

“Sweetie Belle! Button Mash! What are you two doing sleeping in a cave???” A light purple unicorn with a dark mane with pink highlights is standing there, and she doesn’t sound very happy.

“Twilight! We’re so glad you found us! We’ve been lost, and…” Sweetie starts.

“I don’t want to hear it right now. I’m just glad you’re safe. Your families have been worried! What were you two even thinking, coming out here all by yourselves?”

“We were having an adventure, but we got lost because she started chasing a butterfly and then a whole bunch of other crazy stuff happened!” Button says.

“Alright, tell me everything that happened.” Says Twilight. So they each take turns explaining what happened, leaving out the parts with the kissing and hugging and hoof holding. That they were keeping to themselves for now.

“Wow, I’m very impressed in you two. How did you manage to start a fire without burning the entire forest down?!?!?” Twilight asks.

“I’ve got skills.” Says Button. Sweetie rolls her eyes.

“Oh please. It was just luck that he got those fires going.”

“Shut up!” Button says, playfully hitting her in the arm. She sticks out her tongue playfully and starts laughing. Button starts to laugh. Even Twilight giggles a little bit.

I know there’s something they’re not telling me, I could hear it in the gaps in their story. Twilight thinks. But still, they’re adorable. And they’re really young. I wouldn’t be surprised if they forgot something. But still… Button and Sweetie start chasing each other around. They seem… different. In the way they’re acting around each other. “Oh well!” Twilight says. Button and Sweetie stop in their tracks, looking at her. “Heh, sorry. I got distracted. But anyway, we need to get you home right away.” She says. Twilight takes Button and Sweetie home, where they each get scolded, but then each of their guardians hugs them, happy that they’re home. The next day, Button and Sweetie meet up in the park.

“That adventure was fun, wasn’t it?” Button says.

“It was scary!” Sweetie replies. “But fun too.” She smiles at Button. He smiles back. “Let’s try to keep the scary adventures in-game, alright?”

“Agreed.” At least, the scary parts. Button thinks. “Hey, how about we get some milkshakes?” He offers.

“Ok!” They both head over to Sugar Cube Corner, smiling the entire time.
