One Complex Gamer

It all happened very suddenly. Button Mash had only stayed for a week in Ponyville, and he even received Pinkie's "Welcome to Ponyville" party, but he is still somewhat sad due to the fact that his brother stayed behind, his job too important in the royal guard. His dad had to move away from Manehattan almost the same day as we moved, but he had to move to Tokhayo to accept his big job as head of the game producers in Neightendo.

Its just me and my mom now. I don't have a cutie mark, but I don't care much about that. And now I'm exited, as its the first day of the new school year! "Mooom, I'm ready for school!" Button exclaims. "Its, Sunday, GO BACK TO BED!" She yells back. "Nevermiiiiind!"

-1 boring Sunday later-

"Hello, class." Says the teacher. "Hello, Ms. Cheerelee!" The class chimed back. "Now, before you go to your morning work......." Cheerelee began, "We have a new student!" I was nervous. Standing in the hallway for almost an eternity, waiting for her to say my name, the cue  to walk in and say hi, I thought about what their impressions of me would be. Would they be good, or bad, or maybe inbetw- "Button Mash!" she finished. Here it goes... "Hello!" I exclaimed. there were three things that caught my eye in a split second. One, there was a pink earth pony with a silver earth pony, and they both gave me a vicious glare. Two, four desks were empty, I wonder If she will let me choose. Three, there were a group of three fillies, talking it out, as if there was a debate, or maybe gossip. Could it be about me? As I snapped into focus, Cheerelee asked me a question. "Button, can you tell a bit about yourself?" Oh crap, now what.... I guess i tell them. "I like video games!" I exclaimed. Ok, now two things caught my eye, and may be problems later. One is that those two earth ponies glared at my mark-less flank, and rubbed their hands as if planning something evil. The other is that there was a white unicorn in that group of fillies, now sizing me up. Oh boy, this is going to be a long day.... "Alright, now please take a seat that is available." Cheerelee said. So, I picked a seat in the front. Then, someone past me a note, though it was blank. "Hey, Button Mash is note passing notes!" The pink earth pony said. "Actually, someone passed it to me. Secondly, it's blank. I don't think someone passing me a blank piece of paper is bad." I reasoned. It seemed to work, because they frowned in frustration, and went back doing their work. The work was easy. 5,927 x 9,371 was 55,541,917. I guess it was hard for the others, because that is a big number. The rest of school wasn't fun.... Until recess happened, that son-of-a-gun recess.....

I was busting goblin heads playing "Hungoia 3rd Saga" on my Joyboy, when those three fillies walked up to me. 'darn it!' I thought. what do they want, are they going to try to bully me too? I focused on my game, trying to drown them out. I stiffened, and they must have noticed. "Heya, sir, we don't mean harm like Diamond Tiara."  The yellow earth pony of the group stated, and rather calmly. I looked up because I thought she was telling the truth. "Ahm Applebloom, the orange pegasus here is Scootaloo. And here is Sweetie Belle." Sweetie was the white unicorn. That is when the flint first hit steel. it was weird, like a warm shiver, but I quickly dismissed it. "Well hi, what's up?" I replied. "We got a club called:" then in loud unison: "THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!". "Also known as the CMC for short." Applebloom added. "And we want you to join!" said Scootaloo. "Come on, it'll be fun!" Sweetie chimed. And there it was, that feeling. "hmm...... alright!"  I decided. Then I once again sat down, and continued on the Joyboy, only this time playing Super Mareio. Sweetie must have seen the screen before walking away. "ooh, you got that one too?" Sweetie asked. "Start up multiplayer!" "alright." I simply replied. And dang, she was very competitive. She almost beat me, but I pulled a star out of a mystery brick before she got to me, but already starting the jump, she almost got me. "GG" I said. "What is GG?" Sweetie asked, curious. "Good Game." I replied. "Oh, you too!" she replied back. Then the bell rang, and we went off to class. Nothing else interesting happened at school. So I went home and sat on my bed, playing online with my pal, Rumble. He begged his parents for him to go to Ponyville with me, but they said no. So my only way to talk to my true true friend was online. But that is where I like to be. I was playing a game of Hungoia when my mom called and said: "Honey, your friends are here!" Friends? I don't remember making any good friends in school, let alone tell them where I live.  I tried to to pen the door, yet before I was even able to, I was yanked out and blindfolded. A strangely-soft-for-a-colt-napper hoof was put over my mouth as i was taken somewhere. When I was unblind-folded and the hoof was taken from my mouth, I was confused and shocked to see the CMC before me. "Sorry about that, its just that this place needs to be an absolute secret, and we can't let the soon-to-be newest member reveal it, and we can't trust you until after initiation." Scootaloo said, trying to calm me down. I stood there silent, and a bit mad. Her attempts at calming me down were 'not very effective'.... "anyways, lets do this!" Sweetie exclaimed.

And with that, the initiation took place. Everything went well, until a problem started to pick up pace, and swell. Chapter 2 will tell all! I'm sorry to say that a group of fillies will soon fall.
