"Button, it's time to wake..." says a startled Button's mom. She looked at her son as he practically vibrated on the spot, his bloodshot eyes giving the occasional twitch. "Have you been up all night?!"
"Of course I have! Muzzle VR comes out today!" said Button excitingly whilst pacing around his room. "You promised to take me to the store to buy it, right?!" he asked as he hopped up and down, eagerness dancing in the whites of his eyes.
"I did, but I really think you should get some sleep first." she says in a motherly fashion.
Button rushes as he says, "Mooom! When using the VR set you'll practically be asleep. It takes over your minds control of your body and it rests while your mind plays the game!"
"I guess that'll have to do since you seemed to have drank all my coffee..." she said while yawning.
The two left the house, both half asleep. "Since I don't seem to have any coffee this morning, we'll have to stop for some." It was a ten minute drive to the nearest Star Bucks.
Disappointed and drowsy, Button says, "Moooooooom! There's no tiiiime!"
"If you didn't drink all of my coffee and slept like a good boy then you wouldn't have to wait!" his mother said angrily. The rest of the ride to the Star Bucks was silent. They both walked inside for Button's mom to order her drink.
"Mooooom," he moaned, slumping against the table, the smell of milk and ground-up coffee beans beginning to nauseate him. "... We're gonna be late for the laaaaauuuunch..."
"We'll be on our way shortly. Just be patient." she said to calm him.
"If we don't leave soon then we won't be able to pick up Sweetie Belle." he said, insisting that they leave.
"We'll have plenty of time to get Sweetie. Let mommy drink her coffee and we'll be on our way." she said to reassure him. Button gave a pout, grumpily staring at the linoleum floor as his rear legs dangled from the stool.
They left the coffee shop, and set a course for Carousel Boutique, where they would be meeting with Sweetie Belle. It was another ten minutes before they arrived at their destination. "Hi, Sweetie Belle. How are you?" questioned Button's mother.
"I'm doing well, Mrs.Mash. How about you?" Sweetie Belle politely replies.
"I'd be doing better if my son didn't drink all of my coffee." she says jokingly.
"Come on! We're gonna be late!" Button says to Sweetie and his mother. After saying a goodbye to her sister Rarity, Sweetie Belle hopped into the car and they departed.
"How have you been, Button?" asks a slightly confused Sweetie Belle after seeing Button disheveled.
"I'm doing fine! I mean, I stayed up all night thinking about Muzzle VR, and didn't get any sleep at all. But other than that, I'm great!" Button says while his eye twitched.
"Good to know..." said Sweetie.
After a minute of silence, Button says, "Mom, can we listen to the radio?" "Of course, Button." says Button's mom as she turns on the radio. She flips through the stations trying to find something good."Wait! Stop!" says Button when his she passes a song sung by Sapphire Shores. She turned a few stations back until she found the song Button wanted to listen to.
"Ooh, I love this song!" said Sweetie Belle with a crack in her voice.
A little too sincerely, Button says, "I do too!"
"Caaaaan't you seeeee? You're the only colt in the whole wide world for meeeeee?! You broke my heart, stamped it out, and all I'm left to do is pout...." sang Button in a horrid voice.
"I don't even know what to say about that sound you just made..." said Sweetie, cringing after being subject to Button's singing.
"C'mon! You know you love my singing!" said Button jokingly. "FILLY, GIRL, HE AIN'T GOOD, I SAY HE AIN'T GOOD, GIRL, HE'S JUST A FOOL, YOU WANNA PLAY IT SAFE, YA GOTTA PLAY IT COOL!" Button shouts along with the song.
".....I think I may have gone deaf..." said Sweetie Belle, in pain of the sound of Button's singing.
The song ended and the station continued to play the average junk. For the rest of the trip to the store Button Mash and Sweetie Belle discussed various things about Muzzle VR and what games were compatible. About twenty minutes had passed when they arrived at Trotting Toys and Games, Ponyville's most popular games and electronics store. "I can't wait to get my hooves on that sweet piece of technology!" said an overly eager Button.
"I hope the setup process doesn't take too long." Sweetie Belle tells her friend. The trio of ponies find their way into the busy establishment.
After seeing the crowd in the store, Button's mom exclaimed, "There are a lot more ponies here than I thought there would be. I knew video games were popular, but this is madness!" She struggled to make a path into the store.
Button and Sweetie Belle led the way to the aisle where the Muzzle VR sets were located. "It looks even better in person!" said Button hugging a box on the verge of crying.
"It'll look way better from the inside!" said Sweetie Belle as she picked up the box. They managed to make their way to the counter, which they then payed for the devices.
"I'M SOO EXCITED!" screamed a very enthusiastic Button Mash.
