The Chronicles of Keyboard Click
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter entering the school building, Keyboard Click separated himself from his little brother and nervously trotted to the fourth grade classroom. Once the unicorn colt had entered, he was greeted by the sight of several rows of desks on a hay floor. The teacher had a pink mane, fern green eyes, and a Mardi Gras coat. She smiled pleasantly at her students.
"Hello, class! I'll be your teacher this year. For those who don't know me or didn't have me when I used to teach third grade, my name is Cheerilee." Cheerilee then picked up a piece of chalk with her hoof and wrote her name on the black board in the front of the classroom.
"Since it's your first day back after summer vacation, we will take some time to introduce ourselves," Cheerilee continued, "And if you have your cutie mark, you may explain how you got it when your turn arrives." She grinned at her students before pointing towards a bored-looking colt in the second row. The colt had a burnt orange mane with an atomic tangerine stripe running through it. He also had orange-red eyes, and a russet coat. On top of his head was a propeller hat, which made him look a little childish to Keyboard Click.
The earth pony colt snapped into focus and looked bewildered. "Oh, um, I'm Button Mash. I like to play video games, and I don't have a cutie mark yet."
Keyboard Click was surprised to hear this. Usually, other ponies would just play video games occasionally, and would favor playing outside instead of gaming. Could he become friends with this colt?
Cheerilee laughed. "That's great, Button Mash. Welcome to our class!" Cheerilee had several other foals introduce themselves before finally arriving at Keyboard Click.
Cheerilee extended her hoof to the young unicorn. "Would the gray colt in the second row like to introduce himself?" She asked softly.
Keyboard Click nodded. "My name is Keyboard Click, and I like to play games on my computer. I haven't gotten my cutie mark yet though, so who knows what it'll be."
Button turned to get a close look at the emerald green-maned unicorn. "Another gamer? He seems pretty cool, maybe I'll talk to him later." he thought to himself.
"That's very nice, Keyboard Click," Cheerilee chimed. "Would the blue pony in the third row like to introduce their self?"
Cheerilee eventually finished letting everypony introduce themselves, and began the regular lesson. After a few hours of Mathematics, Science, and other school subjects, Keyboard Click was exhausted and ready to go home. Finally, the bell rung and class ended.
The bored foals in the classroom were eagerly checking the clock, until the hands finally reached 3:00 and the bell rung. Button Mash had even fallen asleep in the last few minutes of class, and woke up happily at the holy sound of the bell. The earth pony got out of his seat, and walked over to Keyboard Click as the gray unicorn was stuffing his school supplies into his saddlebag.
"Hey, um, my name's Button Mash. I'm a gamer too and was wondering if you could come over and play games with me later." The gamer colt announced.
Keyboard Click grinned. "Sure, I'd love to! Do you like the Legend of Celestia series? I've played all the games." The unicorn colt proclaimed.
Button Mash was ecstatic. "Are you kidding me? That's my favorite game series of all time!"
The gray colt and the earth pony smiled. "Hoofbump?" Button Mash requested.
"Hoofbump." Keyboard Click stated, performing the action.
