//------------------------------// // An unexpected guest // Story: Button's secret admirer // by djpon5 //------------------------------// It was two months later that Diamond Tiara walked into the Carousel Boutique. But she didn't just stroll in she barely opened the door to allow her entry but enough to not make the bell ring. She had to be quiet. Diamond Tiara snuck past Rarity who was in a room working with the sewing machine, and came to what she thought was Sweetie Belles room. She slowly opened the door to peek in and sure enough it was. Now came the tricky part. Finding somewhere to hide. But she looked high and low and couldn't find a place that was good enough that's when she heard the walking on the staircase. She quickly dived into the first place she saw. The closet. She held very still waiting to be discovered but that never happened in fact there was no noise outside the closet. Diamond peeked out curiously and saw nopony in sight. She opened the closet and walked out she turned to close it but as she turned around she came face to face with Button Mash. " Uh hey Diamond Tiara what are you doing here?" Button asked nervously. " I was just about to ask you the same question Button." She said trying not to sound nervous. " But I asked you first." Button said trying to edge towards the door. " Well for your information I was " Diamond Tiara stopped talking as the door swung open to reveal Sweetie Belle. " Uh what are you too doing in my room?" Sweetie asked staring at the two. " Well we were uh... umm..." Button couldn't find a cover story fast enough but before he could utter an explanation Diamond Tiara slapped a hoof over his mouth. " I was going to pull a prank on you blank flank but I needed to get in so I had your little friend here show me a way to sneak in for your information!" She said " Okay but why are you still here?" Sweetie asked confused by the full reality of the situation. " Bye!" Diamond Tiara let go of Buttons mouth and ran to the window, opened it, and jumped into the bushes below. " Uh I guess I'll go then bye Sweetie." Button walked out of the room and down the stairs, behind him he heard Sweetie Belle utter a farewell. Button walked out of the Boutique and around to the back of it where Diamond Tiara jumped out of the window. There he found her sitting on the curb her hoof covering her eyes. " You okay?" Button asked her sitting down. " Yeah I'm fine." She said not looking up at Button. " Thanks for covering for me that was really nice of you." Button said trying to put his hoof on her shoulder but she scooted away. " Why were you really there Button?" Diamond Tiara asked looking up at him. He could see her eyes were red as if she had been crying recently. " I was going to try and read Sweetie Belle's diary." He said blushing but Diamond just put her face in her hooves again. " Why were you really there Diamond?" Button asked her. " I'd rather not say." Diamond said burying her hooves into her face. " I told you why I was there It's only fair if you tell me don't you think?" He said " Okay I need to get something off of my chest Button!" Diamond Tiara had had enough of pretending. " Uh okay what's wrong?" Button asked surprised by Tiara's outburst. Diamond Tiara then did something she had never done in her life because she always had someone there to do it for her but with this there was no one so just did it. She took a gamble and threw down all her cards. Diamond Tiara put her hoofs on Buttons shoulders and kissed him passionately on the lips. The kiss lasted only a few seconds but in those few seconds up above in the carousel boutique sweetie watched the two of them and a tear came to her eye. " Button..." Sweetie Belle said in despair." Why?" and she walked away from the window with tears streaming down her face. Diamond Tiara broke the kiss first leaving a stunned Button staring at her. " I'm sorry." Diamond Tiara stood up." I just needed that, I'll leave you alone." she turned and walked away. Button blinked a few times to clear his head then he stood up and ran after Diamond Tiara. " Wait! Diamond!" He yelled a few times getting her attention. " What do you want Button?" She said turning around to face him. " Do you really feel that way?" He asked. " Do you think I would've done that if I didn't?" She asked him in an emotionless tone. " Well I've never really been good with words but I'll try my best to give you the message." Button put his hooves on Tiara's shoulders and pressed his lips against hers but this time the kiss didn't just last a few seconds. Diamond Tiaras heart fluttered at the kiss and the message was clear now. " Do you really mean it?" She whispered to Button when the kiss finally broke. " Every second." Button whispered back. " But what about Sweetie Belle?" Diamond Tiara asked Button in concern. " I don't think she liked me anyways besides," He said hugging her." you were here first." But only a few feet away in a bush Sweetie sat sobbing into her hooves. she had lost her chance and now Button belonged to Diamond Tiara. Or did he? Who said she couldn't fight for him back? Now she stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes and began to walk back to the Carousel Boutique. She had a lot of work to do and she wasn't going to give up until Button was hers.
