A new home

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

The Mashes were one the train, travelling to their new home. The mother and father were Monster Mash and Elaina Mash, who had tow sons: Lucky Mash and Button Mash

Button Mash looked out the window of the train, listening to the clickety-clack of the wheels on the tracks. After a sigh, he looked at his JoyBoy and started to play PonyMon. Button grumbled as he lost against the Elite Four again. Resisting the urge to cry, he put it back in his saddlebags and leaned against the window of the train.

Elaina tapped his shoulder. "Everything alright, sweetie?" she asked, already figuring out the answer before Button spoke.

Button looked at her, trying to hold back tears in his eyes. He eventually couldn't hold it back anymore and cried into his moms shoulders. "It's not fair. The Elite Four are- are just to powerfu-hul," he subbed into his mom's shoulder.

Lucky Mash, rolled his eyes. "Oh, what a crybaby!"

"Lucky!" Elaina snapped.

"But it's true!" Lucky argued

"You know your younger brother is very emotional. He can't help it," Elaina defended Button. "Besides, I'd like to see you try to beat the Elite Four at only 8 years old, only in a week turning 9."

After about half an hour after the incident, Button was looking out the window, a little sad. "Why do I have to make friends, mom?" he asked. "I mean, we're gonna move right after I do, anyways."

Elaina smiled. "Actually, Button, your father and I have been talking, and we decided no more moving after this," she told her son.

Button lit up and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The train stopped, and Button grabbed his saddlebags, carrying them outside as his family still got their stuff ready and then following him. A pink mare bounced over to the family. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! I haven't seen you before, which must mean you're new! And when new ponies come into Ponyville, you know what that means? A welcoming party! How does tonight sound for ya?" she asked quickly.

Shocked, Elaina smiled and introduced the family, :I'm Elaina Mash, and this is my husband, Monster Mash, and these are our two suns, Lucky Mash and Button Mash. Um, we already have a house saved for us, so I guess tonight will be fine."

"Ooh! That's amazing! I'll invite everypony I can! It'll be a doozy of a party! See ya!" Pinkie exclaimed before bouncing away

And with that, Button was already liking his new home.

"Hi, Babs!" squeaked a voice next to him
