Hearths Warming Day is almost upon the village of Ponyville and no two ponies are more excited then Sweetie Belle and Button Mash. For the energetic gamer, it's a chance to get as many new games as he wants, but for Sweetie Belle she's excited because she'll be living a dream. After a year of saving their money, she and her sister are going to the Manehatten Hearths Warming Show where all the best actors, musicians, and performers play for one night only.
However, when disaster strikes leaving Sweetie Belle's dreams shatterd, Button resolves to help his best friend.
Derpy... What did you do this time?
Great story, by the way
Love it
wow that was awesome
Ha ha, that was great! Bravo! That's what it's all about!
First SweeiteMash story i'v seen in a while. And the best!
Amazing story man it made my day
i found this sad and very touching and always pulling at the heart strings as you keep reading the story, this is by far the best hearths warming eve story i have read thus far good job sir or madam you get 10 claps for the good storyline, plot, keeping it at a good pace, using my fav ship and it relates to the season right now so i thank you for this great work of written art, and that i was able to read it, good job, you earn a fav a like and a follower keep up the good work
A sweet mash up.
I see what i did there. :shifty:
I really, really wanted to like this. I think the way the story was designed and the general theme was good, but there was just something that kept punching me in the face.
All of the damn meta/real life references. I know Button Mash, by his very nature, is a slightly meta character, but there is more to it then just adding in real world games and calling it good. Every time I saw a real world reference it just sucked me right out of the story, and made me groan in annoyance at how forced and obnoxious they felt.
An interesting take of the Gift of the Magi, but I think the way you used Video Games and pop culture in the story was quite lazy, and the story suffered for it.
I'll give it a thumbs up, but I can't justify a fave on this one. Thank you for making another ButtonBelle, it is nice to see these two getting more attention.

Aw, sorry to hear that. I really like Drama King so I was hoping you'd like it too. Oh well. I guess I did over do it with the references, but I'm one of those people who doesn't mind them personally. Maybe I should have lessened them, but what's done is done. Thanks for the thumbs up. Maybe I'll do better in the next SweetieMash idea I get
Wow...That was beautiful...It was heart warming to be honest. I'm glad I got to read a great Button Mash story! It's stories like this that make a Button Mash Tag required on FimFiction! A Spike moustache for you!

I'm honored you've read my story.
With me, I even have trouble imagining Minecraft in universe, despite how awesome "Don't Mine At Night" is. I just start thinking of all of the implications of having computers and the internet in Equestria. I may not like EG, but Twilight had no idea how to use a computer, therefore it is impossible to assume that they are fairly common. I tend to imagine most games as incredibly crude, like 80's arcade cabinets or such.
Button Mash, by his very nature, causes waves in that understanding of Equestria. Finding a middle ground is one of the biggest challenges in writing him. He's a simple character, but writing him is anything but.
I look forward to seeing what else you can produce. Keep up the good work!

first YOU ARE AWSOME!
second Pip and Dinky ref!
third: YOU ARE AWSOME!
fourth: any chance of seeing a future epilouge where sweetiebell ends up fufilling her promise to marry them?

Who says I won't have a possible Squeal? Hint hint
No one cares. All the other iterations of Button Mash I've seen are annoying. This is super cute. It needs to replace the other shite.
That good sir, was quite the story. My scorpion nipples lactated at the end :)
So heartwarming.
this is an adorable story.
words cant describe how awesome this was.
This was a wonderful story.
Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you to Rated.
I had tears in my eyes for almost the last third of the story. Thank you for such a beautiful fic.
please don't be another gift of the magi sapfest, please done be-
dangit.
A lovely little Hearts Warming tale.
And yes, I prefer the typo because it makes sense.
I think the best I can say I had for rare games, or at least second hand worth, was Nights and controller, and the Gold Cartrige Zelda for NES.
I wonder, given agility, just how good is Scootaloo at DDR?
Cute little story. Glad I read it.
Are you going to make a sequel?

Maybe
“Green glass balls next to purple?! Outrageous! I should slap myself for thinking such a thing. Red should go with green and purple with blue!”
I see what you did there
SO. FLIPPIN. ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Words cannot describe how wonderful this story was.

That was simply marvelous.
Wondrous Work.
ohey look what's featured
D'aww, that was a cute little Christmas story, fave'd
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! snfdnowenffkdsldfvlcx-- please hold while I suffer from the unbearable amounts of cuteness-
Okay, this was perfect. The pacing was wonderful, word choices were great, and Button Mash was amazingly written considering you haven't watched the pilot and only heard about it in the fandom. This was a win for me, it truly showed the spirit of christmas.

Oh I've seen the pilot and videos surrounding him, I just never read the blog he originated from "Ask the Crusaders"
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
I LOVE THIS!
I had a feeling on how it was going to end by the midpoint of the story, but never the less, it's the best, heartwarming ending to expected in this special holiday story! It... nearly brought tears to my eyes! Well done as always!
oooh. Got it.
That was the most beautiful Hearth's Warming fanfic I have ever read!
Could use some minor tweaking... and you missed out a couple of words.
What about Opal? Did she escape the fire, too?
That was all kinds of cute, thanks for sharing this.
I think it would have been nice if you didn't mention this last part in the description, or at least hinted to it in a different way. It would have been more entertaining from a readers prospective if I didn't know in advance Button was going to make a personal sacrifice and it didn't take long to figure out what that was going to be.

OH SHIT! I forgot about Opal! Umm.....
The power of the flames turned... Opal into... FIREROAR!

Blessed by the powers of the eternal flames of Anonia, Fireroar uses her magical powers against the forces of darkness and to cleanse the world of it's sins through purifying flames!
Or... I just simply forgot her.... oops
3677194
Good point
3677206
You could say Opal was at fluttershys place, easy fix.
3677299
This is now canon with the story.
3677206 You can always add that to the story. You've got time.
Omigosh... that was so beautiful!
Honestly, Button could probably have written a great letter to Celestia with what he learned that day
Awesome story! Lots of warm fuzzies.
Only need one 'only'
watched 'in' silence
whose --> who
only --> barely?
start --> started
fall --> fell
Buttons --> Button
wined --> whined
Don't need 'on'
dash --> dashed
won --> one
hedid --> he did
'bought'? I think you meant brought, but that doesn't work either.
her for mentioning them --> him for mentioning them
final --> finally
They're --> There's
don't need 'that day'
he --> his
double spaced at beginning of sentence
heard --> head
there was only 'one' way
don't need the first 'her'
is --> his
Note: Check through the 'and's a lot of them were missing commas.
