I lightly bobbed my head to the beat of the music, my hair slightly swaying. Opening my eyes, I stared at the singing and dancing figure on the town hall stage. She was magnificent, a sight for sore eyes, and the most beautiful mare of them all, Sweetiebelle,
"Hey, y'all better get out of that corner here and into the party," a southern voice called close by,
I shook out of my trance and turned to mt cream colored friend, Applebloom,
"No, I think I'm good Applebloom, I can hear the music and Sweetiebelle just fine over-" I felt a pair of hooves push into my ribs,
"Come on, you know you want to dance to your crushes song," I blushed and fought my way back to the corner,
"I appreciate you trying to help, but I'm okay with just standing over here and watching. I mean I'm a video game nerd, I promised Sweetiebelle I'd come and I'm here, I didn't tell her I would dance or anything, especially with Diamondtiara and Silverspoon here," I told Applebloom, trying to sink into my corner at the mention of the two bullies.
They'd most likely find me, it was a concert so Sweetiebelle couldn't stop them from coming, and although we all got our cutie marks, they still bullied us with anyway they could. That included getting their coltfriends to try to beat me up, or getting us in trouble at school, or around home, or anywhere in general. The only time I had, or anyone in this case, stood up to them was when they made Sweetiebelle cry and I yelled at them, making them run off, crying. That didn't stop them, instead they turned to their coltfriends to beat me up, that didn't go well for them either, because Princess Twilight saw it happening, and if you've never seen the princess mad, just get a fight going and there you go,
"Hello, equestria to Buttonmash," I blinked out of my trance as an orange hoof flew in front of my face,
"What is with you tonight, bro, you seem abit...out of it," Scootaloo said, confused,
"Sorry, I'm not used to being out with this many ponies," I ran a hoof through my mane,
"Yeah, we know game nerd, now go dance to the last song, so Sweetiebelle, at least thinks you had a good time," I sighed,
"You're right, might as well act like I'm having fun," and with that I joined the crowd
-------------(Sweetiebelle's POV) later after the concert------------
"THANK YOU PONYVILLE," I smiled and waved a hoof at the crowd, walking down the stairs and ending the concert.
thank Celestia, that's over, now I can spend some time with my-
"Oof," I bumped into something and fell on my butt,
"Oh I'm sorry Mrererererer, Fancypants!" I gasped at the sight of the rich pony amused to see him in Ponyville,
"Oh that's quite alright my dear, I wasn't paying attention because I was stunned by your glorious music," he said wiping his tuxedo and fixing his monocle,
I nodded, but was abit confused towards the fact that the concert was over, how was it that he was blinded by my music. I stood and decided not to question it,
"Excuse me for my question but may I ask, what brings you to Ponyville on such short notice?" I asked, trying to sound as formal as possible,
"Oh, I was called upon by your music Mrs. Sweetiebelle, and I was wondering if you had a sponsor, so you could make a living out of this,"
A living, I didn't need to make a living, I was perfectly fine,
"No, I don't believe I would enjoy making a living out of this, all the tours and fans chasing me, it just isn't my style, I'm truly sorry-"
"Oh don't apologize but I must ask, why don't you try an all over equestria tour, just to test it, than after you can come back here and do what ever it is you do in this town,"
"I don't know, I don't think I could be away from home for that long, is it alright if I give you an answer tomorrow over lunch,"
"Yes, it is, because I do understand the importance of friends and family," -he took a look at his watch-
"Oh my, it's getting late, um...I have to get going, I'll see you tomorrow, oh and tell your sister I loved her 'Rich Stallion' collection, it was truly delightful,"
I smiled,
"I will, enjoy your stay in Ponyville, and I will see you tomorrow at lets say Sugarcube Corner,"
"I look forward to it, have a good night Mrs. Sweetiebelle,"
"You too,"
LATER AT THE CAROUSEL BOUTIQUE
"Sweet Celestia, Sweetiebelle, you got asked to be sponsored by the one and only, Fancy Pants, that's amazing darling, now what did you tell him," my sister, Rarity asked, astounded with my meeting with Equestria's richest pony,
"Well I told him it just wasn't me doing this for money, he than offered me an all Equestria tour, which I decided to give him the answer over lunch, and he said he loved your rich stallions collection," she gasped at first, making me roll my eyes in annoyance, he had loved every single one of her collections, she shouldn't have been surprised about this,
"Well please tell me you're going to do it, it's a chance of a lifetime, Sweetiebelle,"
"I...I don't know, what about my friends, wouldn't they-"
"They would tell you to do it, darling this is something that only comes once,"
-----Buttonmash's POV-----
THE NEXT MORNING,
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, I jolted awake to the sound of really loud knocking on my door along with two voices calling my name,
oh, why can't I ever sleep peacefully for once, I groaned as the sound continued,
"I'M COMING," I yelled to seize the knocking, it didn't work,
I sighed and crawled downstairs to the door, it looked like it was going to bust. I reached for the handle and opened it quickly, Applebloom and Scootaloo tumbled through the door, they were both sweating, Scootaloo's hair was down, and Applebloom's bow was drooping tremendously,
"What's up," I asked rubbing my eyes,
"S...Sweetiebelle...going...all...Equestria...tour," Applebloom took a deep breath before continuing,
"Sweetiebelle is going on an all Equestria tour," I turned white, and felt a bit light headed,
"What, but she said we would all stick together, I thought you guys were going to-"
"Work as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, apparently not, those tours last two years," Scootaloo finished, that was enough to make me black out.

Author's Note
Guess whose back sweetiemash is back thx to Mr kupkake. Expect chapters soon.
Chapter 1
"BUTTONMASH!" I threw my body up at the yell, bumping my head on something hard in the process,
I groaned and rubbed my forehead,
"What in the Celestia was that," I asked,
"My head numb skull," a familiar tomboyish voice growled,
I opened my eyes to see Scootaloo rubbing her own forehead,
"Sorry, but I just had the most terrible dream, Sweetiebelle was going on a-"
"That wasn't a dream hun," a voice said, I turned my head to see Applebloom, a worried expression on her face,
"How long-"
"Two hours, Sweetiebelle already came by to say goodbye, but we told her to wait a day or two, so you can make your move. you are going to make your move, right?" Scootaloo questioned,
"I...I can try, but...but with so little time, I might not-"
"Really? It's going to take two days to ask Sweetiebelle out," she sighed,
"All you have to do, is walk up and ask, it-"
"-is complicated, you two have never had a crush before, I have and do, I'm just...nervous alright," I paced the room as I talked and soon started to mumble to myself questions like,
"What if she says no? What if I don't catch her in time? What if-"
"-What if I give you a mouthful of hoof," Scootaloo said annoyingly,
______________________________
"Sweetheart, you need to calm down, if she is leaving soon why don't you just ask her to come 'hang out' for one last time before she goes," I sat in the kitchen with my mom, who was more than happy to help, she had always liked Sweetiebelle, even with all the trouble we got in, mom was just happy I had a friend, not to mention a crush,
"Mom...that is the best idea you've ever had, why couldn't I think of that," I told her,
"You are kind of stressed sweetie, but run along, she's probably packing her bags as we speak,"
"Right, thanks mom," I gave her a quick hug and ran out the door towards the Carousel Boutique, passing by Princess Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash on the way, until I slowed to a stop outside of the boutique. I took a deep breath, with any luck she would be here. I pushed open the door, the bell ringing, sending Rarity into her greeting,
"Hello, welcome to the Carousel Boutique, how may I-" she froze when she saw me,
"-oh hi Buttonmash, what brings you here," she asked,
"Is Sweetiebelle here," I returned with a question, also being the answer to her own question,
"She upstairs getting packed...Sweetiebelle! Buttonmash is here!" Rarity called to her sister,
"Ok...I'll be down in a sec," her voice answered from upstairs,
"So...Buttonmash, are you here to ask Sweetiebelle on a date," I blushed,
"Well...kind of...I'm more of just asking her to come hang out before she leaves," Rarity rolled her eyes,
"Colts, these days...never going for it, just waiting...Button, this may be your last chance before she leaves for the first year," I gave her a quick nod,
"That's what the hang out is for Rarity," I said, a silence followed afterwards for a few moments before the sound of hooves coming down the stairs interrupted it,
"What's up Button," I stared in awe as Sweetiebelle came down the stairs, her mane brushed and curled, a smile on her face,
"Umm...Button, are you ok," realizing I had been staring a light red covered my cheeks,
"Yeah, I'm fine..." I looked around searching for the right words,
"So your gonna be gone for awhile huh," her smile faded,
"Yeah...Umm, I'll be going on tour for a year or so, are you here to say goodbye,"
"Well...yes and no, I was actually wondering if you would like to hang out just one last time before you go...just the two of us," she looked around for a second,
"Yeah, sounds like fun, what are we gonna do," I put my hoof to my chin and thought for a moment,
"How about something we did when we were little, for old times sake," she was confused for a moment, before realizing what I meant,
"What did you have in mind," she asked curiously,
"How about some Minecraft, it will bring back some old memories," she smiled,
"Yeah, but you may have to teach me how to play again, it's been for ever since we had last played," I smirked,
"Don't worry, it's easy, just meet me at my house in about an hour with your laptop," I quickly turned and made my way for the door,
"Ok I'll see you by then," she and Rarity waved goodbye as I left, sighing in relief, I had to get ready,

DISCORD'S POV
"It looks like little ol' Buttonmash needs some help," I snapped my fingers as an idea clicked into place,
"And I know just how to do it," I did mean well for Buttonmash, he was one of the few ponies to except me for who I was, now it was time to return the favor.
________________________________________________________________________________
BUTTONMASH'S POV
I sat down in my chair and flicked on my old laptop, an old Lemon brand model, it could run the only game I had ever put on it, Minecraft. I typed in my username and password and clicked play, I then quickly set up a LAN server on multiplayer, only leaving the 'create' button on the screen. My next step was snacks, I quickly rounded up a few before moving on to the final step, practice. This was supposed to be the step where I asked Sweetiebelle out, but I was so nervous that I decided to stop before I could start sweating.
My ears perked to the sound of knocking on my front door, I quickly hurried to the door and opened it to see Sweetiebelle with her laptop floating in her magic,
"Shall we begin," I smiled and nodded before leading her to the dining room, where everything was set up,
"Now why don't we get started with the controls," I said after setting up the server and Sweetiebelle's sprite appeared in front of mine,
"Lets begin,"
A BORING 30 MINUTES LATER
After teaching her everything, building a house in the process, along with the basic tools and weapons, Sweetiebelle knew exactly what to do, and the game began. Just as night one approached, something changed in the game, the moon was moving slower than usual, I shrugged and took it as a lag. That is until around sunrise our screens lit up with a bright light, blinding us and sending Sweetiebelle into a panic,
"Button, is this supposed to happen," she cried out as a noise started to hum in our ears,
"No, I don't know what is happening," I answered, trying to shield my eyes,
"BUTTONMASH!" Sweetiebelle cried, before everything went black.
