"Come on, come on, come on," groaned Button Mash, "just five MORE minutes till schools out for the summer." He puts his hooves together begging for the clock to speed up "Please, please, PLEASE Hurry up"
"Ugh, begging the clock to go faster won’t make it go any faster Button," replied a white colored unicorn. "So just be patient."
Button Mash quickly turns his head at the white colored filly "PATIENCE!? Sweetie Belle, I don't know if you know, but today is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! It’s like the Hearth's Warming Eve of summer but without the cold and snow.” The brown earth pony gives a determine look on his face. "My girl, this day is what all fillies and colts strive for."
Sweetie Belle just gives a confused look "Button, what are you talking about?" She rests her head on her hoof "You practicably breezed through this year."
"Hey, yeah, I bet he got A's and B's again this year," replied an orange Pegasus.
"And made the Honors list... again," added a yellow earth pony with a red bow on her head.
Button's face turns a little bit red from embarrassment. "Aw, come on Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. I'm not that smart."
The three fillies looked at each other then turned their attention back to Button Mash.
"What about the time you helped us with our math homework of changing mixed numbers to improper fractions?" replied Scootaloo, "Homework that you got done in class."
"Or that time you helped mah sister manage Sweet Apple Acres financial situation," added Apple Bloom, "all because Applejack forgot to carry the one."
"And let’s not forget that you SOMEHOW balanced Rarity's checking accounts. ALL. FIVE. OF. THEM" finished Sweetie Belle.
Button Mash sheepishly rubs the back of his head.
"Tell us Button, how'd ya get so good at math?" asked Apple Bloom
Button Mash just narrows his eyes "When you do dealings at GameGo, you better know how to do math."
"Okay, class" spoke Miss Cherilee "It’s 3:00 pm you're free to go and I hope that you all have a wonderful-" Button Mash left the room faster than Rainbow Dash. “-summer."
------------------------------------------------------------
"WOOOOHOOOOO! I'm free baby! Yeah!" cheered Button Mash "No more schoolwork next two and half months!"
"Not like it would have mattered to you anyway, Button" deadpanned Scootaloo "You probably would've finished it before you got home."
Button Mash waves a hoof at her, "Phhss, enough talk about school, its summer vacation!" he grabs Sweetie Belle spins her around, "No more going to bed early, or studying for tests."
"That you probably got A's on." muttered Scootaloo.
Button Mash stops spinning Sweetie Belle around, "So what are you guys to do for your summer vacation?" he asked.
"Same thing we do everyday Button," they replied in unison "TRY TO GET OUR CUTIE MARKS!!!"
Button rubs his ears from the crusader's sudden outburst "Ouch, well as usual I wish you good luck with that," he gives Sweetie Belle a kiss on the cheek and starts to walk home.
"Uh, Button, aren't you forgetting something?" asked Sweetie Belle
The brown earth pony stops and turns around "Ummm... no, I don't think so. Why? Am I forgetting something important?"
The unicorn filly rises an eyebrow "Uh, yeah, I would say it’s very important Button, it’s something that you asked me at the end of school last year."
Apple Bloom rubs her chin. "Uh, didn't he ask you to be-"
"No, no, let him figure it out" interrupted Scootaloo.
"Something that I asked you?" replied Button. He scratches the back of his head in thought. "Well let’s see, last year I asked the girls what were their summer plans: Sweetie said she was living with parents for the summer, Apple Bloom said she had more work to do on the farm, asked Sweetie Belle to be my girlfriend before she left, And Scootaloo said she was...
"....Wait a minute" Button Mash's eyes widen in realization and his propeller hat stops immediately
"And it looks like he just got it...finally" Scootaloo said.
Button Mash starts to flail around in a panic " Wait, wait, wait I didn't forget my first anniversary" He starts to look around trying to come up with an excuse. "Uh, I was waiting for, tonight because it’s like super romantic or something." The poor earth pony starts to sweat uncontrollably. "Which I need to get ready for gottagobye" he leaves the crusader trio with the quickness.
"Sweetie what do ya see in him?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Eh, he has hot flank, I-I mean a cute flank, I MEAN HE'S CUTE ALRIGHT!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh no three more strands of gray hair today" complained a light brown earth pony with a heart and a bottle for a cutie mark. "Face it Milano, you're getting older,” she turns off the bathroom light walks into her bedroom and lays down on her bed. "Pretty soon you're going to have a full head of gray and crow's feet." Her face drops "And wrinkles, oh my, I'm gonna get wrinkles!"
"MMMMMMMOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!"
Milano sits up from her bed. "What is it Button?" Judging by the sound of his screaming it was either his ‘I did something stupid’ or ‘I forgot something important’ scream, she hoped for the latter. "Did you punch Rumble in the face again?"
"MOOOMM TODAY'S MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY WITH SWEETIE BELLE" he yelled. Milano smiles at her son."Awww, really Button? That's wonder-" He cuts her off.
"BUT I FFORRGGOTTTTT IIITT!!!"
Milano groans and her face instantly drops. "Aw, really, Button... your first one, and you forgot it. Somehow I'm not surprised," she said to her son. " Your father did the same thing when we were your age.”
"Really, Mom." The brown earth colt looks at his mother. "So what did he do to fix it?"
The light brown mare puts a hoof to her chin in thought. "Well, he invited me over to his house to play video games, but you might not want to do that because-"
"THATS IT!!," he yelled "I'll just invite Sweetie Belle over so we can play video games for our anniversary, thanks Mom." He leaves his mother alone in her room while he begins his plan.
"-that's how your brother was born..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Ohhh how could he forget our first anniversary, stupid Button" growled Sweetie Belle as she paces around her room. " He is SOOO lucky that I like him...and his butt."
"SWEETIE BELLE DO TRY AND KEEP YOUR PACING DOWN AS I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT ORDER THAT I NEED TO FINISH AND I NEED COMPLETE CONCENTRATION!!"
"Sorry Rarity."
-----------------------------------------------------
"Here you go Button Mash a bouquet of red roses. That will be 20 bits please."
"Thanks Miss Roseluck." He gives her the bits as she hands over the flowers. "So Button, what's the occasion?"
Button Mash's face gets a little hot. “O-Oh well they’re for Sweetie Belle. Today's our first anniversary, and I thought I should get her some flowers."
"Well isn't that sweet," Roseluck cooed "A nice colt buying his girlfriend some flowers for their anniversary! Well I wish you the best of luck Button Mash."
"Thank you Miss Roseluck." Button Mash said as he turn and walked away from the flower stand. Roseluck dreamily leans her head on her hoof as Button Mash continues to walk away from her stand.
"Ah, young love."
"Okay, now that I've got some flowers I can now begin phase two of my plan." The brown earth pony said. "Now all I need to do is get to Sweetie Belle's house. He walks down a couple more blocks until he sees a familiar building coming into view. "There it is, now to get Sweetie Belle for part three." He goes up to the front door. "Alright here we go."
"Well, well, well if it isn't my old bro Button Mash!"
Button Mash slowly turns around to the sound of the voice to see a familiar gray pegasus " Rumble what do you want?"
"Oh nothing much, just stopped by to say hi," he said grinning.
The brown colt glares at him." Hi, now go away, I have more important things to do than to stand here talking to you."
Rumble walks to the brown colt with the same glare on his face. "Likewise, so I'll make this brief," he stops in front of Button Mash and stares him in the eyes, "I'm gonna get you back for punching me in the face."
"You deserved it after what you did to Scootaloo," Button spat.
"Tch, even you would go crazy if all you ever heard was Rainbow Dash this and Rainbow Dash that,” he replied.
"But you didn't have to humiliate her in front of the entire class!"
The black hair pegasus just rolls his eyes." Whatever," he spreads his wings and takes off in the air. "I'll be seeing ya around old friend," and with that he flies away.
"Jerk, I still can’t believe we used to be best friends," he turns back around to the door and knocks on it three times.
"SWEETIE BELLE, GET THE DOOR!!!"
Button Mash starts to hear the door unlocking, "Yes? Can I-." Sweetie Belle opens the door to see Button Mash standing at the door. "Oh it’s you, well what do you want?" Button Mash pulls out the bouquet of roses, Sweetie Belle gasps in surprise.
"Oh, Button, you shouldn't have."
"Oh, but had to and," He takes a bow “I would also be honored if milady would spend the evening with me."
"It would be my honor Sir Button," Sweetie Belle smiled.
"Thank you milady," he said. And who says that Dating Sims don't teach you anything. "Come on Sweetie Belle," said the brown colt, "I shall escort you to my house where we shall have a nice dinner followed by sitting under a tree watching the stars together."
"My, my, my aren't we the gentlecolt."
Sweetie Belle turns around embarrassed, "Rarity, just how long were you standing there?”
"Oh, right when Button gave you those roses" she said. "And I must say that it was quite romantic, oh and uh, thanks for balancing my checking accounts Button."
"Oh it was no problem, I was happy to help."
"Alright, Alright," Sweetie Belle said as she pushes Button away from her sister. "Let’s go before she ropes you into doing something else."
"Okay, well you two have fun now," Rarity said while waving to them. "Oh and tell Milano I said hi." The two ponies leave from Rarity's sight. "Well might as well go back inside and finish this order." She returns to her house/business and closes the door.
------------------------------------------------
"Okay Sweetie Belle, we still got some time before Princess Celestia begins to lower the sun and dinner isn't quite ready," He turns to the white filly lying down on his bed, "So what do you want to do?"
The unicorn filly looks at her boyfriend with a smile." Oh! I know let’s play-"
"No fighting games Sweetie."
She gives a look of disappointment. "Aww why not?"
"Because you keep on sweeping me" he said.
"That's because I don't like garbage." she replied
Button Mash slams his hoof on the ground." I am NOT garbage." he said " My controller wasn't working and you know it!"
"Yes Button, I'm pretty SURE it was the controller."
That was it, that was all he could stand and he couldn't stand it no more as he tries to playfully push Sweetie Belle. "Heh, heh just as planned" she grabs his hoof and throws him face down on his bed with Sweetie on his back holding his hoof behind him. "Well, well, well, look who tried to get a first attack." she said grinning.
"Okay, okay, you win." Button said admitting defeat. "Please let me go."
"Oh I'll let you go." she said smiling. "Right after your punishment."
"Punishment?"
Sweetie Belle's smile doesn't fade from her face. "That's right Button, and for your punishment I think somepony needs a spanking."
The brown colt gulps in fear. "Uh-oh."
********************************************
Meanwhile downstairs in the kitchen a certain light brown mother was busy making dinner. "Hmm, pasta sounds like a romantic dinner for two," she thought as she puts the noodles in a pot. "I wonder how Button's plan is coming along."
*SMACK* OW *SMACK* OUCH SWEETIE THAT *SMACK* HURTS *SMACK*
"Oh my," Milano said to herself. "Well, it’s official, Button is whipped... or getting whipped." The light brown mare chuckles to herself.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"MAILLLLL CALLLLL!"
"COMING!" said the graying mother as she walks to the front door and opened it. "Oh hello Derpy, what can I do for you today?" she asked.
"Package for Button Mash." the Pegasus said with a smile.
Milano looks away with a tint of red across her face. "O-Oh well, he can’t come to the door right now because he's a little-"
*SMACK* AAAUUGGHH WHY *SMACK* ARE YOU *SMACK* ENJOYING *SMACK* THIS!!!
"-busy, But I'll be happy to take it for him."
"Okie Dokie then," she said as takes out a clipboard. "Sign here please."
Milano signs the paper on the clipboard as the mailmare takes out a package from her bag. " Here ya go." Derpy said as she gives Milano the package." Thank you Derpy" replied the embarrassed mother while waving good bye.
"Huh, I wonder what this is" she thought to herself. "Oh Button, you have a-"
*SMACK* SWEETIE I'M *SMACK* SORRRRRYYYYY *SMACK*
Milano sighs in exasperation. "On second thought maybe I'll just bring it to him," she walks upstairs to Button's room.
"And one more for good measure." *SMACK*
"Ahem."
Sweetie Belle and Button Mash look up to see Milano standing in the doorway. "Oh, uh, hello Mrs. Mash," Sweetie Belle said blushing. "Uh, you're probably wondering-." she sees that her hoof is still on his flank. "Forget it, I was spanking your son,... I enjoyed it... no shame."
Button's mom laughs at the little filly. "I can see that Sweetie, but that's not why I'm here." she holds out the package. "This is for you Button, Derpy just delivered it."
Button immediately grabs the package. "What is it, what is it," He rips it open with no remorse. "HUH?!" he pulls out a cartridge. "It’s a video game?"
"Oh, of course it’s a video game." Milano said while rolling her eyes. "Well you two have fun now while I check on the food." she leaves the two ponies alone.
Button Mash looks at the game in utter confusion. "I don't remember ordering this...huh...." He shrugs off his confusion." Oh well, I'm not one to turn down a free game." he said while walking to his game console.
"Uh Button, I don't know about you but something about this seems...sketchy." Sweetie Belle said.
The earth colt turns his head to his girlfriend. "What do you mean?" He said while putting the game in.
The unicorn filly facehoofs in annoyance." What I mean is, a game gets delivered to you,...that you don't remember ordering." she rubs her chin." I don't know why but this seem familiar, like a game did this exact same thing."
Button Mash raises an eyebrow." Ok now your being paranoid." he turns on the game. "See, nothing but a regular game, now quit your worrying and lets play."
Sweetie Belle sits down next to Button Mash as the game loaded up." Hero's Quest?" He said. "A game where you become a hero, who goes off to save the princess from the evil unicorn king Codex...Typical."
And at the bottom of the screen stood out four familiar words.
Press Start to Play
The brown colt laughs. "Alright, let’s do this!!!"
He presses start...and both ponies disappeared from the room.
