Sour Mash met beautiful Turnip online and they started a relationship. After a few years, Turnip left her town to live with Sour in Fillycon Valley. Being tired of life in stablecules, they decided to move to a quiet house in the mountain near Ponyville and work from their home via the Internet.

Both Sour and Tulip are gamers, so it was not a surprise that when their child Button was born, he developed an obsession with video games.

Sour is a social butterfly and loves to be the center of attention. He achieves his goals in life by using his humor, his intelligence and his charisma. He loves to dance and go out as much as he loves to study and analyze. Turnip is as smart, but she prefers quiet and solitude. She's reserved and spiritual, and achieves her goals in life with her discipline, hard work, patience and wisdom. She enjoys meditating and walking in nature as much as she loves cooking and caring for her family.

Button is, well... Button.

Note: Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm going to finish this. It needs a lot of editing and I don't know where to take it, really. If I finish it, it'll be a long time before I do and it'll be just one more chapter from the point of view of Button.
