First published

It's just a game Luna.

Just about every gamer has experienced game rage. From several seconds to several minutes, the gamer would lose themselves to pure rage and their actions become unpredictable. One princess in particular must be careful and not succumb to the rage.

It is a quiet night in Equestria and most of the ponies have gone to sleep for the night. It comforts everypony to know that Princess Luna will soon be joining whoever must-.

"ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME!?!"

Huh? What was that?

***

Well, it seems that our princess of the night decided to play some video games before she went on her night duties.

"CELESTIA DAMN IT! Hack! I CALL HACK!"

Uh... Hello princess.

"WHO DISTURBS ME WHILE I PLAY!?!"

AH!!! DON'T SHOOT! Please lower your horn.

"Where are you? SHOW THYSELF!"

Woah Woah Woah! I mean no harm. I swear! You can't see me. I'm sort of the air at the moment.

"What sort of magic is this?"

Well, it is complicated. Also, I only have a limited amount of time. You are better off asking Pinkie Pie or Discord about this.

"They know of you?"

Well not of ME per se. Like I said it is complicated.

"..."

...Well, this is awkward. I didn't think this encounter through.

"Uh... Well, if that is all I would like to get back to my game."

Oh? What are you playing?

"Urgh. This game I just started to play, but it is so frustrating. Have you heard of it? It is called 'Call of Duty.'"

Wait, you have that game here?

"Ah. So you are familiar with it?"

Yes, but I am sure it is much different than what I am used to.

"There is story mode where you play as a royal guard. I am glad the creators portray our guards as strong individuals."

At least somepony does.

"Did you say something?"

No nothing. So what is it about?

"Well, it tells of our war with the Crystal Empire. Most of the story was accurate, but they added some extra parts to make it more exciting."

That sounds fun.

"It is. They added a quest in the game. If I am victorious in 100 multiplayer battles, then I can achieve the 'Lunar Guard Award.' When I do, I unlock the lunar guard skin."

Oh cool. How many more battles do you need to win?

"...100..."

WHAT!?!

"It's not my fault! I am good at games! I just keep running into this one player that always beats me. I swear that I wilil have my revenge, but he is a cheater."

Oh, he can't be that bad.

"Just watch."

Okay.... She is turning on the console... Putting on her headphones... Now she is picking a class.

"Do you have to narrate everything I am doing?"

Sort of my job, but I don't think I need to after that. Wait, your username is NM_Luna1000?

"Yes? What of it?"

Nothing. Nothing at all. Oh cool. You can choose to be an earth pony, a pegasus or a unicorn.

"Yes. I love to play the unicorn class as they have strong defensive magic. You can also play as Changelings, Gryphons, and the Crystal Empire."

Neat. Oh and you are playing on the Crystal Empire map?

"I can play wherever, but that was the only map available for some rea-..."

Uh, princess?

"It's him..."

Him?

"SweetieXButton93... The one who keeps defeating me."

What? Did you say SweetieXButton93?

"You know him!?!"

No no no! How could I? I'm not from this world. (YES! SHIP CONFIRMED!)

"Well, no matter. Tonight I shall have my revenge!"

***2 hours later***

"BY STARSWIRL'S BEARD! I BLASTED YOU WITH MAGIC FIRST! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?!"

Uh, Princess Luna isn't it time you went to-

"SILENCE! I need total concentration if I am to defeat him."

Yeah, I know, but it has been a time-skipping 2 hours. I am sure you have some-

"I SAID SILENCE!"

... O_O

"Come on come on... I have you now. Blast him! BLAST HIM! NO!!! YOU CHEATER! I WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR THE NEXT THOUSAND YEARS!"

Uh, don't you think that's a bit harsh?

"No punishment is too harsh for the likes of this jacka- Ah! There he is. Come on get him get him GET HIM! WHAT!?! DID HE JUST SHOOT AN ARROW FROM OVER THE HILL AND IT MANAGED TO HIT ME OF ALL PONIES!?!"

Haha.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Nope nope. Just something in my throat. Oh, there he is!

"What? Wait I- NO! I WASN'T READY! I WILL MAKE YOU INTO A CHEW TOY FOR CERBERUS!"

Please don't.

"I'm going to change my equipment. There! Now I have lighting and fire spells. I know I got him this time."

Maybe you should take a break and check on your subjects?

"I will take a break when I DESTROY HIM!"

Does that mean never?

"HOW DARE Y-Oh! There he is! Fireball. FIREBALL! LIGHTNING BO-..."

Princess, you got him! He is within your hooves. You just have to finish him off before he heals!

"Yes! YES! THIS IS IT! This moment I have been waiting for. I can finally e-."

What ha-... Oh... The server got disconnected.

"....................."

Uh... Princess?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

***

Aww come on Princess Luna. She only did what she did so you could cool off. I mean you almost blew up Canterlot you were so mad. I am surprised you didn't turn into Nightmare Moon again. At least it isn't a thousand years, right? You are only trapped up here for a week. It will go by like that!

"Please stop talking. Better yet just go away."

You don't want to be alone for a whole week, do you?

"Ugh, I never did get used to it. Even after a thousand years."

See? So? What can we do up here to kill time?

"Well, we can catch the moon rock."

Umm...

"Right. No hooves. Well, do you play chess?"

You will have to move my pieces.

"Fine..."

It was a late night in Equestria and one particular little filly should have gone to bed already.

"Oh no. He is going to kill me!" cried the filly unicorn. "No! I need to heal. No! Oh. The server crashed. Well, at least I didn't die."

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at her door. Without her permission, the knocking pony had let herself in. "Sweetie Belle. Do you have any idea how late it is? Why aren't you in bed?"

"Huh?" Sweetie Belle then looked out the window to see that the moon was indeed high in the sky. "Oh gosh. I am not even tired. I completely lost track of-," she was interrupted by a bright beam in the distance. From her window, she can see that the beam came from the side of the mountain. "Rarity, what is that?" she pointed.

Quickly, the elder white unicorn ran to her sister's side to see the beam herself. They both saw that the beam was shot from Canterlot and looked like it was in the direction of the moon. "I... I don't know Sweetie. I have never seen anything like it. I should get Twilight." Rarity than ran toward the door, but was stopped by Sweetie.

"Can I come too?" Sweetie asked.

"Absolutely not," said Rarity. "Just go to bed and don't even think about going outside." Without looking back, Rarity ran out of the room.

"Aww," pouted Sweetie Belle. She turned around to the direction of her bed, but a light caught the corner of her eye. She turned to her console to see a bright screen titled, "Call of Duty."

"Oh, I almost forgot to turn it off," she said as she walked to the console. As her hoof hovered over the power button, a message appeared on the screen.

It read, "Hey Sweetie Belle! I couldn't sleep and decided to play a game. Do you want to team up? - ButtonMasher4LIFE"

"Button!" said a happy Sweetie Belle. She sat down and levitated the controller to her, "Well, one more game."
