Love For Two Special Ponies

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, just a normal day in Ponyville. Not so much for Button Mash, all he wanted was for the day to come to an end. You see, he began his day like any other; wake up, take a bath, eat breakfast, and play video games, but as fate would have it, his mother didn't want him spending all of his time in the house. As a result he was forced to go outside and do something "productive". This resulted in yet another argument with his mother about not having anything to do, but as usual he lost, was tossed outside, and is left off with his mother yelling after him,

"Don't forget to be back by dark sweetie!"

This is where the story begins, Button Mash sitting on a bench and moping around thinking about how miserable his life was, he didn't even have his portable Joyboy.

Several hours later, Button decided to go to Sugarcube Corner to get something to eat.

"Might as well get something to eat while I'm out." he thought to himself, as he got off the bench.

He slowly walked his way towards the restaurant in a grumpy mood, until something went flying past him making him stop dead in his tracks watching it leave his line of sight.

"Phew that was close." he said.

He started off trotting again, until another object hit him hard making him and the object tumble backwards.

"Ouch! what in the name of Celestia was that?" he said.

"Button?" said a familiar voice.

"Oh no it can't be...not her! Of all of the possible ponies to bump into at a time like this…." he thought.

Button opened his eyes to see two great big, beautiful, lime-green eyes staring at him.

"Uhhhh, Sweetie Belle?" He could feel his face starting to turn red.

"She's so close to my muzzle, it's so embarrassing."

Sweetie Belle started to make that wonderful smile of hers, when she realized how close she was to Button.

"Oh…heehee." she said.

Her face turning a bright shade of red as well.

"Sorry Button, me and the other crusaders were trying to get a racing cutie mark, but I guess I just lost control of my scooter."

She slowly climbed off of him.

"As embarrassing as it is, I kinda wish she hadn't realized how close she was." Button thought.

While he started to get up on all fours, he started to feel a large amount of pain on his left front hoof.

"W-whoa!"

He couldn't quite get his balance, and the pain caused him to walk. He clumsily tried walking over to a park bench to rest his hoof, but he just couldn't manage it on his own.

"Here, let me help you out." Sweetie suggested as she tried holding down a giggle.

"I-I think I can manage-" He started to protest, but soon found it easier to walk as he felt Sweetie press her self up against him so he could find his balance.

"W-whoa, this is really awkward...but at the same time feels kinda alright."

He looked at Sweetiebelle at his side, but as soon as she looked back at him with her beautiful emerald colored eyes, he started to blush and looked away quickly hoping Sweetie Belle wouldn't see his blushing face.

"Seriously just my luck, one the most beautiful fillies in Ponyville just had to ram into me when I'm having a bad day."

As soon as the pair reached the bench, Button weakly got up and sat down on it.

"So uh sorry about running into you like that. I guess racing isn't my special talent after all." She smiled shyly.

"I-its alright, I guess…Not like I was headed anywhere in particular." Button lied.

He didn't want to make her feel any worse, though he was starting to think of how he could turn this whole thing around to his advantage.

"I'm feeling kinda hungry." Button decided he was going to take this chance to at least make the day worth all of the annoyances.

Sweetie Belle looked at Button in thought,

"I guess it is getting close to lunch time…" She looked at the ground with a frown.

"But I don't have any bits and I don't want to just leave you here after making you hurt your hoof even if it's just to go and get some money…" she continued.

She kicked the ground a little embarrassed. Button lifted his head and smiled.

"Great, this could be my chance." He thought with excitement.

"Well you don't have to pay, I have plenty to cover the expenses for both meals, and we can get whatever you want." Sweetie Belle looked up at him still frowning.

"But that would be worse than me going home to get the money and leaving you here….like adding insult to injury."

Button frowned thinking of this fact and said,

"But wait…"

He once again smiled then said,

"I will need help getting to a restaurant, or my house...If you help me get to a place with food and maybe home then it will be just like payment."

Sweetie Belle looked at him in thought for a moment.

"Alright that would work I guess." She smiled and looked at Button with those big, beautiful, lime-green colored eyes.

The two had left the park bench to get to the fast food joint and to Button, it was the best time of his life. He and Sweetie had leaned against each other to give him support. It felt amazing to not only have the warmth of a filly press against him for the first time in his life, but it also felt amazing to actually hold an interesting and ongoing conversation with one. It felt like only seconds for Button when they got to the restaurant.

"I think I can manage walking on my own now… I don't think that I got injured too badly."

He felt the warmth fade as Sweetie stopped leaning on him. It made him feel a bit sad, but he knew he wouldn't have been able to keep it going forever no matter how badly he wanted it to. As he started to move forward he stepped on the hoof carefully, even such a small amount of pressure sent the feeling of pins and needles through his whole leg. After standing there for a bit, almost blinded by pain it began to subside as Sweetie called his name with a worried look,

"Button are you sure you can make?"

He breathed in deeply and said,

"This is going to hurt." He looked back attempting a smile.

"Yes I can manage." He said as he started awkwardly walking towards the doors of the building before them. The two entered the building and approached the counter.

"Hello and welcome to Pete's Hay House, what would the lovely young couple like to have to have today?"

Button and Sweetie both blushed at the word "Couple". It was embarrassing to hear that, as Button knew he wanted nothing more but to ask Sweetie out, but he knew he'd get rejected instantly.

"U-uh she'll be ordering first and I'll be paying for our meal later." Button said.

"Alright kid" the employee said, as he was giving a small smirk at the young ponies. Sweetie looked up at the employee, still blushing as she ordered the food,

"Uh, I would like to have the double pony combo please."

She smiled, looking at Button with a cross between a sly and seductive face.

"W-wait is she?..." Button's entire face turned a bright pink after seeing this, and quickly turned to the employee.

"Uh I don't think I want anything…" he said.

The employee smirked trying desperately to hold down a chuckle and said,

"Alrighty then!, here's your number, go and find a table, and when the food is ready, it'll be brought out."

Button took the number still burning bright pink.

*POV change* (Sweetie Belle)

"So cute…" Sweetie Belle thought.

"He's still a pretty sheltered kid, even after having been in this town so long, he doesn't have a single friend…Let's change that."

"I'm so glad you decided you would help me finish this meal, I don't think I could do it on my own." Sweetie gave a huge smile at this.

"Uh thanks." Button said as his face turned a darker shade of red.

"I'm just glad I got the hint…" Button flinched stepping on the injured hoof.

I'm Sweetie looked at it, and said,

"Yeah that's definitely not ok, It's so adorable to think that he's trying to play it tough for me, But let's test it shall we?"

Sweetie made a worried face after the quote she made.

"Are you sure you don't need a doctor? I mean I think it's sweet that you wanna do this even though I still feel like you shouldn't because I don't deserve it, but I think you shouldn't because I don't want you to push yourself." Sweetie said.

The two found a table and sat down. As they did,Button looked like he was about to say something, but the food was brought out at that moment. "Here you go, enjoy!" the Waiter said.

*POV change* (Button Mash]

The two ate happily while continuing their discussion. After what felt like ages to Button they finished and he finally got to pay. As the young two ponies walked out of the dining room, they heard two voices,

one being

Apple Bloom calling over to Sweetie,

"Howdy SweetieBelle! We've been looking for ya every where. Where ya been?"

The other being Buttons mom calling out to him,

"Sweetie!, I completely forgot to ask you when you would be coming home for dinner, so I decided I would come looking for you, but it looks like you're having a good time with your little filly-friend there...Sorry if I  interrupted anything."

Button was completely burning up with embarrassment by now and said,

"N-no mom I was just about to walk Sweetie Belle home."

He turned to Sweetie who was giving Him a sly grin, and then turned back to her friends and yelled.

"Don't worry girls I'll explain later, but give me a moment…"

She leaned in really close and whispered

"Thank you for the nice supper and pleasant talk."

She then kissed him on the cheek and started trotting down the street.

"U-uh mom?" Button asked.

"Yes honey?" Button's mom replied."

"I think I have a crush!" he said excitingly.

Button's mom smiled at him and said,

"Looks like my little Colt is growing up!"
