"...But the Everfree Forest?" Sweetie Belle asked. "That's the most frightening place, not to mention most dangerous and deadliest place in all of Equestria!"

"On don't worry Sweetie," Buttonmash replied. "it's just a date on the outskirts of it! Only enough to make things intimidating enough to keep us from going in, but we won't leave because it'll be fun!"

"Oh alright..." Sweetie muttered. 'It'll be fun for you at least...' She thought to herself. They made their way to the forest and sat down by a rock. Everfree Forest. One of the most feared areas in all of Equestria. Few ponies went there, even fewer came back to tell the tale. But Button thought of it as revenge for Sweetie making him play all of those horror games. It also was a way to get Sweetie to constantly be cuddled up beside him. And maybe their actual first kiss, but chances weren't likely. They had kissed before, but not a true passionate kiss.

Button, now 17 years of age put one foreleg around his marefriend whom he had known for nearly 13 years now, Sweetie Belle, who was about 16 years of age. Since the time Sweetie came over with Amnesia: A Machine for Ponies, they had developed a strong relationship. Not only that, but the two had made their own gaming channel on PonyTube. 4,292 subscribers. They were very successful.

"So what are we going to do Button?" Sweetie asked. She scooted closer to him, feeling more secure being right next to him.

"I think we should---" Suddenly something hit him like a smack to the face. Button stopped all thought and looked at the forest. "Somethings there..."

"What?" Sweetie said. Before she could react, Button walked directly towards the forest.

"We have to go, come on!" Button said.

"Button..." Sweetie stuttered. "Button wait!"

Thirty Minutes Earlier

Button made his way to Sweetie Belles house quick. He wasn't going to miss his chance at asking her out on another date. Of course, their last one was a month ago. He wanted something special this time. So he decided it would be a bright idea to bring her to the everfree forest. Bad idea.

Button trotted to the door. Most of the time his last minute dates would work out. He trotted up to the door and knocked. Sweetie, as if she was expecting it, immediately opened the door.

"Hey Sweetie would you like to---" Button said before being interrupted by her.

"Sorry Button, I can't today." Sweetie said.

"Wh-what?" Button asked.

"I'm sorry...I can't...I'm busy with something at school next week." Sweetie said. Her expression turned sad. She felt bad for doing such a thing to Button, but she had to do her school work.

"No Sweetie, don't be sad." Button said in a comforting tone. He gave her a hug. "I know you have school work to do, I understand, maybe next time."

"Thank you for understanding, Button." Sweetie said, a smile returning to her face. She kissed him on the lips really quickly. The only reason was because she wanted their first kiss to be a very special moment. A moment to remember. Button slowly walked back.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Button said. He trotted away at a normal pace. Sweetie shut the door behind her, then a thought entered her mind. She opened the door quickly, right before Button had completely gone out of sight.

"Wait Button!" She shouted. Button turned back and trotted as fast as he could back to her house.

"Yeah, what is it?" Button said, panting.

"Catch your breath..." Sweetie said.

"Alright, I'm good." Button replied after panting slower and slower.

"Actually, that thing is due in three weeks." Sweetie said. "So I have some time."

"What about your sister?" Button asked. He didn't want her sister, Rarity, to hate him.

"She'll be fine, she lets me make my own choices now." Sweetie replied. "Either that or she just doesn't care, but either way I can still go."

"Alrighty then..." Button muttered. He motioned his head for her to follow him. She followed and they trotted away.

"So where are we going Button?" Sweetie asked.

"Everfree forest." Button said.

"What?!" Sweetie exclaimed.

"Some place scary, for all the games you made me play." Button said, he laughed but Sweetie was scared.

"...But the Everfree Forest?" Sweetie Belle asked. "That's the most frightening place, not to mention most dangerous and deadliest place in all of Equestria!"

"On don't worry Sweetie," Buttonmash replied. "it's just a date on the outskirts of it! Only enough to make things intimidating enough to keep us from going in, but we won't leave because it'll be fun!"

"Oh alright..." Sweetie muttered. 'It'll be fun for you at least...' She thought to herself. They made their way to the forest and sat down by a rock. Everfree Forest. One of the most feared areas in all of Equestria.

"So what are we going to do Button?" Sweetie asked. She scooted closer to him, feeling more secure being right next to him.

"Button!"
