Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Sunset Shimmer was not having a good time anymore. Button Mash had evidence of her secret, and was going to post it on social media for all of Canterlot High to see. Sunset Shimmer was sure to be the laughing stock of the school for weeks.

She was really starting to regret ever having agreed to babysit Button Mash, but it was too late to back out now. She needed to come up with some way to get back at him, and try to do some much needed damage control.

Sighing, and popping the pacifier back into her mouth, Sunset Shimmer tried to brainstorm an idea.

As she entered Button Mash’s room, she took notice of the different gaming consoles that were stored in the nearby shelves. And then, she saw a bunch of gaming magazines laying on the ground.

Her curiosity getting the better of her, Sunset Shimmer picked up one of the magazines and began to read through it.

She hadn’t been reading for long when she stumbled across a segment that caught her attention. It was entitled: Gaming Secrets: Tips, Hints, and Cheats for The Ultimate Video Gamer. “How very foolish of you to leave this laying around, Button Mash,” Sunset Shimmer smirked, as she scrolled the segment in search of useful tips and cheats “This will prove to be your undoing.”

“Oh, Button Mash.” Sunset Shimmer called a short time later, standing out in the yard.

“Come to beg for mercy?” Button Mash asked, emerging slightly from his hiding spot, while keeping his mobile device tucked firmly into his pants pocket.

“I’m not here to surrender to the likes of you,” Sunset Shimmer said seriously “I’m proposing a little challenge. I know how much you like video games.”

“Guilty as charged. Where are you going with this?” Button Mash asked.

“We’re going to play one of your fighting games on the television in your room.” Sunset Shimmer explained.

“What sort of fighting game? I’ve got a whole bunch of ‘em!” Button Mash boasted.

“You know, the one with all those different human and animal like characters, including that mustached plumber guy you dressed up as for Halloween.” Sunset Shimmer told Button Mash.

“Oh, that one,” Button Mash realized “So, what’s the challenge?”

“We’ll play a match, just you and me,” Sunset Shimmer proposed “If I win, you’re going to delete that picture you took of me, and if anyone asks you’ll claim it was photoshopped.”

“Okay,” Button Mash said, smirking a bit “But if I win, the picture stays up, and you have to use your diaper. Then I get to change you.”

“You’ve got yourself a deal! Prepared to be defeated!” Sunset Shimmer said, as she and Button Mash shook hands and made the deal official.

“I should warn you, I’m pretty good at this game.” Button Mash boasted, as he and Sunset Shimmer went back up to his bedroom.

“Well, before we start, do you need to use the bathroom?” Sunset Shimmer asked Button Mash “It’s been awhile since you last went.”

“I’m just fine. I don’t need a change!” Button Mash protested. He actually did, having wet himself a little while hiding out in the garden, but he didn’t want to admit it to Sunset Shimmer. And neither did he want to give her an opportunity to try and cheat.

“Well, I don’t either.” Sunset Shimmer replied, hoping beyond hope that Button Mash hadn’t heard the squishing sound her diaper had just made.

“Good, then let’s play!” Button Mash said with a grin, as he turned off his previous game, unhooked the gray box, and replaced it with a big white one that came with a handheld screen device. He then handed a white stick like controller to Sunset Shimmer, and grabbed one for himself.

“You won’t win, Button Mash,” Sunset Shimmer thought to herself, as the television screen displayed the main menu of the game “That magazine gave me some very good advice on who to play as.”
