“You’re going to explode Diamond Tiara!”
“I am not! I’m good at everything I do, even this dorky thing!” - But she was pressing the wrong button, and there wasn’t any effect on the game.
“No, no no no! You have to mash the button as fast as you possibly can to avoid the explosives going off and everyone in the secret military base filled with the bad guys, as well as you, the handsome player character Lieutenant Sergeant BUTT, dying off”
It was four in the afternoon in a saturday, in the city of Ponyville, and, in one of the biggest house, two young foals were playing. One was a colt, with a brownish coat, and a propeller hat, as well as a prepubescent voice, and the other was a pink filly with a pink coat, and a stylish mane and a silver Tiara. She, the owner of the house...herm daughter of the owners of the house, had invited, or rather let the colt invite himself in to play videogames in her house.
Though she owned most of the video games systems, she, herself, didn’t really care much for the art of videogames and it was an art! As Button, the brownish colt would be happy to remind Diamond Tiara, the pink filly, if she said anything demeaning his favorite past time, that being videogames. After all the amount of work that went into them…
Diamond Tiara started to mash the button with all her strength, all the while snickering, as with every time button said the name of the character they had created out loud. She couldn’t believe that they had really called him BUTT. And Button hadn’t said anything! She frantically pushed the button, at least 35 times a second, though Button told her that he could do it 130 times a second, and had lifted an eyebrow at her and winked.
Whatever that meant, colts were weird.
“Wait, why are you laughing?” - Button turned his gaze away from the screen where a bar was filling up with every press of Diamond Tiara’s controller, much too slow for his taste, since he really could do it 4 times faster (wink, wink), and looked at her.
“No...nothing!” - Diamond Tiara had to admit. Having to project this air of coolness in school wasn’t easy, but Button was such a dork that even if he told everyone what a dork she was being, no one would believe him, plus, if she were being honest, she just enjoyed his company, a little bit. Nothing too serious!
“Is it because of BUTT?” - As always he pronounced it in all caps, louder than every other word and she burst out laughing, she couldn’t help herself. In a sprout of giggling the controller went out out to the ground. And all the progress she had made with the bar started going down.
“Wait that way you’re going to lose….” - Button saw the final seconds in the timer trickle down, not even his insanely fast hoof could do anything to help now, he let out a dejected sigh. - “And he’s only named BUTT… - Diamond tiara started laughing harder. - “Because you pressed the button when I was putting Button there. Honestly!”
Seeing Diamond Tiara laughing however, he couldn’t help but smile, however, as it was clear to him that she was having fun. And so was he, and not only because of the video games. Diamond was fun to be around.
The screen flashed red and white at a slow pace, so as to not cause any epileptic seizures, and the words game over appeared over sad music. Button turned at the controller.
“I guess we weren’t rad enough...no matter, this time, BUTT! - He let out a small smile. - Shall live on, in the hands of a pro!
“Show off…” - But she was smiling.
And none of them exploded again.
