Button and Bells.

Chapter 8: The Train that leads to nowhere

Narrator:

Button was on his bed. He told his Mother that He needed help Packing his stuff tomorrow. She was already willing to, until she saw bruises and scars But He asked her to leave him alone, and don't question anything.

Sweetie belle was on her bed. Frustrated. Sad. Rarity had comforted her. Then again she didn't want to talk about. Again, leaving a little snack on the table for her to eat when she hungry. Its best if she ate Breakfast in the morning anyways.

Tomorrow was a new day anyways.

Morning. Button started to Pack all of his stuff for ManeHattan. He decided to pack up at 5 am. With his mother helping him, he was able to pack up in a nick of time He looked at his empty Room. Recreating Memories of best Gaming achievements, and memories with... Sweetie Belle.

"Oh my boy has finally grown up!" Button's Mom said in excitement as she hugged him before he went out the door. "Mom, stop it. I'm no longer a little.' Button said "You're right." Buttons Mom sighed. "Just like your father." She smiled. "I love you Mom." Button said one last time. "I love you too." They both hugged, and Button went out. "DON'T FORGET TO TEXT ME WHEN YOU'RE THERE!" She shouted, and was waving at Button while Button was slowly walking at Ponyville.

Darn. He sure was gonna miss this place. Still though. The one thing he couldn't get his mind off was his first friend: Sweetie Belle. He later stopped by: Ponyville Elementary. His train wouldn't be leaving soon anyways, so he was good. He went to the playground there. Remembering the first day of school. Him sitting at the right place. Wanting someone to play with. Until the CMC lended them a hoof. He still thought about Sweetie Belle. Replaying last night gave him Regret. Even plans of suicide... He wanted to make things right. He later took out a piece of loose-Hoof-paper, and was writing a letter to Sweetie Belle.

Later on. He stopped by the boutique, afraid to confront her sister. So instead, he left it at their mailbox, and headed straight to the train station.

5 Minutes earlier

Sweetie Belle decided to get some fresh air after all the depression she's going through. She looked at the weather. The pegasi were making a stormy day. Wasn't good timing either. She got the Mail, and retreated back inside, before getting her mane wet. Finally, Derpy took a vacation, and got the RIGHT mail this time. She went over the insurance stuff, ads, her issue of: Eq monthly. Then came Buttons Letter. She didn't know if she would throw it away, or read it. She still didn't want to think of him anyways. If he wanted to apologize, he should have done it IN PONY, face-to-face, having a conversation. So she threw the letter in the trash.

Button had arrived at the train. With The CMC (except Sweetie Belle), Rumble, Pip, and even Mrs Cheerilee (which recently got married to Big Mac). They said their Goodbyes, once the they saw the train. He hopped on aboard, and saw his friends waving as the train went forward. To Manehattan.

Button Mash sighed and pulled out his JoyBoy. There was another colt who just sat next to him. He seemed interested on Button While Button didn't care. "Hey kid, Where ya heading?" the Colt said. "ManeHattan" Button said confused. "Why do you wanna know?" Button added. "So I can get off my seat when the train arrives there." the Colt said. Then he looked at Button "You seem pretty sad. That Joyboy isn't cheering you up isn't it?" "I guess not." Button sighed as he shut down his Joyboy. "Tell me everything" The colt said, turning to him.

Button told everything about it. The cold responded most sentences with a nod. "Now... I don't think she'll ever think the same of her..." Button finished, with a another sigh. "Gee, those bruises hurt don't they?" Button nodded. "Well... I guess I should tell you now... But.." He explained everything of his past. Button was shocked, as he realized he'd gone through the same Pain he did.

"Look kid, If she means so much to you, then why didn't you stay?" The colt said. "I afraid. I just.... Never knew the whole time.. And how I treated it... How I.... 'Burnt' it" Button said with his head down. "Kid. You're 22 years old." Shocked as he knew his age. "Out of college, already have a Job. Though Reality wouldn't let you slide well" He said as he closed his eyes. "They are times when a Colt needs to toughen up. And take on the world head-on. No matter how hard it is." He said when looking back at Button. "I Haven't seen my Two sons, and My wife, because of what I did. I don't want you to make the wrong choice."

Button thought about it.

"You're right. I need to make things right." He said as the Colt made him  room to exit. Button ran to the emergency break, Until the Colt stopped him. "Hey kid, What's your name?" "Button Mash." Button said. The colt was shocked. "Button... It's... You...." the Colt said shocked Button was confused. "Uhh.." "My boy... Has already grown up!" He said as he trotted over to him and hugged him. "Wait... Dad?!" Button said shocked. "You... I thought... You said you died from an accident!" Button said really confused. "Thats for later Button. You must go. Sweetie Belle needs you." Buttons dad briefly said. "And... Tell your mother that... I missed her.." Buttons dad added. "I won't let you down. Thanks dad." The two Colt-Hugged, and Button Hit the emergency handle, and ran out the door with his saddle bags. He ran.

Though he couldn't believe it was his Father who would Turn things around.
