Keyboard Click excitedly galloped into Ponyville. His mother, Solar Eclipse, had given him permission to visit Button Mash's house and play video games. The elated unicorn thought about what had transpired mere minutes ago.


After class ended and the foals left the school house, Keyboard Click and his younger brother trotted into the school yard and saw their mother waving at them. Solar Eclipse was a unicorn and had a navy blue mane, golden eyes like her first son, and a laser lemon coat. The yellow unicorn looked happily at her children. "How was school, guys?" She inquired.

"Great!" exclaimed Windy Field, "My new teacher was very nice and she allowed us to talk to our fellow students at the end of class."

The unicorn smiled brightly. "That's awesome, Windy! How did your day go, Keyboard Click?" She asked.

Keyboard Click grinned. "It was pretty good! The teacher let us introduce ourselves to our classmates, and I learned that one of the students was named Button Mash and was a gamer like me. After class, he invited me over to his home to play video games with him. Can I go?"

Solar Eclipse thought for a moment. "Wait... I think I know a mare who had a colt named Button Mash. I'll call her and ask if you can go."

The unicorn activated an odd rectangular device by surrounding it in her yellow magical aura. The device, which was apparently called a phone, had a black screen in the center which was now beginning to glow white. The words "Love Tap" appeared on the screen and the phone made a ringing noise. Keyboard Click and his brother looked visibly confused as their mother stepped away and began speaking into the strange rectangle.

After a minute or so, Solar Eclipse trotted back to her sons. "Good news! Button's mom said you could come over, and wanted me to tell you that Button's other friend, Sweetie Belle, is also there."

"Alright!" The young gray unicorn proclaimed, "I'll get going, then. Thanks a lot Mom!"

"Windy Field, do you want to go?" Solar Eclipse inquired.

The pegasus in question shook his head and bluntly declared "No thanks. I'm just gonna stay home to practice my flying and play video games."

Windy Field's mother nodded and gave her confirmation. "Okay then. Keyboard Click, you can go see your new friend." The mare gave her son a kiss on the forehead, causing Keyboard Click to get embarrassed and exclaim "Mom! Don't do stuff like that!"

Solar Eclipse laughed, "Alright, alright. Run along and play now, but remember to be home by dinnertime."

***Back to the current events***

Keyboard Click continued galloping and eventually arrived at Ponyville. "Huff... Huff... Man, I should really exercise more... or at all..."

The gray unicorn looked around and located the house which his mother had described just before he left. "Ah, there it is!" He thought to himself.

The young foal trotted to the house and knocked on the door with his hoof. Sure enough, a mare with a light brown mane, teal eyes, and a tan coat opened the door. The mare smiled. "You must be Keyboard Click. Button Mash and his little friend are inside." The mare gestured to a stairway in the living room, inviting the colt inside. The young unicorn nodded. "Thanks, Button's Mom." He trotted over to the stairs and headed to Button's room.

Love Tap grinned, happy that her son was making so many friends. "Well, I've got some 'special' fiction to read, so I'll just leave them alone." She thought to herself, smirking deviously.


Keyboard Click reached the top of the stairs, and saw a brown door with a D-Pad style insignia on it. Above the symbol were the words 'Button Mash.' Satisfied with his discovery, the unicorn colt knocked on the door and announced, "Hey Button, it's Keyboard Click."

The sound of Button Mash getting up and trotting over to the doorway could be heard, and sure enough the door opened to reveal the young earth pony. "Oh hey, Sweetie Belle and I were playing video games inside. Wanna join?"

Keyboard Click nodded. "You bet!" Button stepped aside and allowed Keyboard Click to enter the room. The room was of decent size, and was filled to the brim with Neighstation 4 and PC games. They were also quite a few Pontendo games, including their Legend of Celestia series. The floor was adorned with a purple shag carpet and a TV was set down on top of a table. Sitting on the carpet was a white furred filly with green eyes and a purple/pink mane.

Keyboard Click sat down next to the filly, followed by Button Mash. "Sweetie Belle, this is Keyboard Click. Keyboard Click, this is Sweetie Belle." Button chimed, getting comfortable on the carpet.

Sweetie Belle faced Keyboard Click, studying him quickly before squeaking, "Nice to meet you, Keyboard Click!"

"Nice to meet you too, Sweetie Belle!" The unicorn laughed, giving Sweetie Belle a hoofbump. "So, what were you guys playing before I arrived?"

Sweetie Belle shrugged. "Button was just showing me that 'Legend of Celestia' game, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I've only been a gamer for a year, so I'm not that experienced."

Keyboard Click looked visibly excited at this, and began grinning. "Oh, awesome! That's one of my favorite games, along with Breeziemon and Mineshaft!"

Button Mash's eyes lit up. "We can play multiplayer if you want. Sweetie Belle and I play Mineshaft together practically every day!"

"Not really..." Sweetie Belle trailed off, blushing slightly. "But that sounds like it would be a ton of fun! I'll go get another controller, and we can get started on creating characters." The unicorn filly stood up and retrieved the designated item, bringing it back and plugging in into a PC that was lying next to the display. She gave the controller to Keyboard Click and sat back down.

"Thanks a lot, Sweetie Belle." The colt said, holding the controller in his magical aura. He pressed a button on the controller, and a generic looking colt appeared on the screen, waiting to be customized to the player's liking.

After a few minutes, Keyboard Click's character was finished and the game began. The three foals turned to each other and grinned. "Let's do this!" They exclaimed in unison, as the game resumed with Keyboard Click's character joining the previously made ones.
