2 gathering intel

"I wonder who is "high ride" I mean, it could be anypony" then almost if it was on cue the bell for the ponyville elementary school ringed, "oh I'll just ask pony's around I guess, I mean what else can I do".

In the elementary school

"Good morning miss cherilee!" everypony said together while she was walking into the classroom,

"Good morning class, I wanted to show you our new student but it seems he's late" as she finished her sentence a brown colt with hazel hair and eye's just stoped at the door panting.

"Sorry- *pant* I'm- *pant* late" button said while still gasping for air,

"That's fine just don't let it happen again" she said while having a smile "now everypony meet our new student" everypony looked towards button's direction.

"Hi everypony, I'm button mash I'm eight years old and I use to live in manehatten and I just moved here yesterday" he said while holding a smile.

"Well that's great button, why don't you sit right next to rumble" as she pointed in the 3rd row of seats right next to the right side of the wall while the kid named rumble was sitting at the left side of my chair or he assumed it was rumble.

He sat down into his chair he decided taking notes since he thought being late for school was bad enough.

"And that's how you times my little ponys" bbbbbrrrrriiiiinnnngggg "oh looks like its time for lunch", as everypony walked to the playground she stopped button and the other kid he still asumed was rumble,

"Wait you two, rumble since button is new why don't you show him around maybe even become friends", yes I thought he was rumble I said in my mind but my expression on my face was just plain although my suspicions were right its not like I saved the world or anything.

Rumble shrugged "sure why not, c'mon button"

As we steped on the grass I just thought of a question "hey rumble do you play games?", hey stoped in his place like a stone statue he moved his body to face me "what do you ask?", "well its just that I have a friend that's username is high ride and he lives here", "button are you dragon masher?", "so you are high ride!", "yup".

"Hey rumble are you going to introduce us or what" when I looked who the voice belonged to it was a filly, she had a orange coat and a purple mane, "oh yeah hey button have I ever mentioned the cmc?",

"No not once should I know them?"

"Wow rumble don't even mention the cutie mark crusaders, very dissapointed anyway button I'm scootalo" as she pointed to herself she was a pegasus, "that's applebloom" as she pointed to a filly that was a earth pony with a yellow coat and a red mane and a red ribbon "and that's sweetie belle" she said as she pointed to a filly that was a unicorn with a white coat and a purple and white mane.

"So all of you are cutie mark crusaders?" Button asking because he was still not sure of what they do.

Scootalo replied by saying "yup"

Bring!

"Time to head to the classroom I guess" button said as he was not sure what else to say.

*TIME SKIP*

"Alright class have a nice day" miss cherilee waving good bye to the students.

"Hey button wana get some milkshakes with the others tomorrow after school" sweetie belle said as she wanted sometime to get to know button,

"Umm, yeah sure why not" as he did'nt want to be rude because in truth he was going to play some tf2,

"Bye button" she said while waving,

"Bye sweetie belle" as he waved as well.

3 the traveler's setup *updated*

"MOM!" there was no answer "mom?" again no answer, "huh I guess she's not home, oh well" sure it was his first time being alone but he felt like if he could defeat a dark warlord then he can take care of the house.

The front door's lock was making a noise, button quickly grabed a broom and wielded it like a sword he was ready to swing,

"BUTTO- *wack* ah, my nose it's bleeding!" she looked at who just hit her nose and wouldn't you know it was button mash.

"Sorry mom, it was just because you were gone and well you could have been a their" as he had a apoligetic face,

"Its fine just go get me a tissue", "great uh where are the tissues again?", he said as he had a nervouse chuckle, his mother had a annoyed face but she kept a cool face "its in the bathroom sweetie" she said the last part while gritting her teeth button saw this and ran to the bathroom.

*sometime later* "button next time remember the difference between toilet paper and tissues, now regarding that whole situation how about some dinner?"

"Ya!" as they ate button told his mother everything that had just happened at school "so mom can I please go with them please!".

"Alright fine but be home by 7:30 or earlier, I don't want you coltnapped you hear"

"MOM!",

"I'm just joking but no really be back by 7:30".

"Thanks mom your the greatest"

"I know I am"

*at the cmc club house*

"YOU TOLD HIM WHAT!?!"

"Scootalo calm down"

"Sorry sweetie belle but scoots got a point, ya did'nt even tell us about this before ya told him"

"Can everpony calm down, yes sweetie belle didn't tell us but come on guys this way you guys will get to know him"

"Well ya can't argue with that"

"So its settled then".

"Wait did we actually told him where we were going for the milk shakes?",

"I'll just tell him later, oh sorry guys I got to go rarity wants me to help her today, bye!".

Sweetie belle knocked on the carousel's door "coming!", "hello, sorry but we are clo- sweetie belle!, why were you so late, I did all the orders while you were gone, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!", "well you see rarity there was this colt whic-", "a colt!, sweetie belle I demand I see your coltfriend to see if he is right for you",.

"RARITY!", sweetie belle shouted while she was blushing, "we are just friends and I don't even know him at all"

"Okay sweetie belle I believe you, anyway how was your day?", sweetie belle told rarity everything that happend "so can I go with my friends?".

"Hmm" rarity was thinking about it then gave her response "fine but only so you can have your little date with your coltfriend" she heild a grin while saying that

"RARITY!!!".

*Time skip*

"Button its time for school!",

"Alright, I'm already ready for school"

"Great" she said as she clapped her hooves

"Bye mom"

"Bye button, don't forget to be back by 7:30

"Alright mom I get the message".

School wasn't really holding anything special so button went through the day *time skip*

"Umm sweetie belle you never actually told where we are going",

"Just follow me"

"Alright" button said as he shrugged, the rode to the so called "suger corner" was not too long

"Hey guys" sweetie belle waved to the group that already was in a table, we sat down "so umm what are the cmc anyway and what do they do?", the three fillies looked like they reursed what they were about to say, a few minutes later of talking about the what the cmc stands for and how they met, "order up!", a pink pony said as she slided the milk shakes to the table,

"And sweetie belle good luck with your coltfriend" as she said with a wink.

"Did rarity tell you this" she said as she gritted her teeth

"Hey some of us don't want to hear her talk about dress's everytime we meet up at the castle"

"You guys gossip in the CASTLE!"

"Well actually twillight made it into a group where we can talk to each other and hangout but it just happened to turn into talking about gossip so yeah I guess, bye!".

"um girls I have a group idea" sweetie belle said

"Okay" the two said almost at the same time"

"Hey what about rumble, I mean isn't he also in your group" button said as he was confused

"Well the founders of the cmc aka us, make important decisions", scootalo said as if it was already obvious, "now huddle up girls", not sweetie belle what's your group idea?".

"Well since we are friends with button mash why don't we let him in the cutie mark cruasaders I mean he doesn't have a cutie mark"

"Well I don't sweetie belle don't ya think we should let him decide that"

"ya I know he should decide that but I'm just suggesting we should ask him"

"Alright well I'm with sweetie belle, what about you scootalo?"

"Well I think we should see if he's good enough by taking him into our next adventure"

"Okay but we haven't even decided what's our next adventure unless you have a idea?"

"Oh I do" scootalo said while having a michevous smile and rubbing her hooves together "muhahaha!".

"Now that's just scary",

"Thanks apple bloom, I try my best".

"So are you done with your group meeting?" Button said while still sitting at his table with rumble.

"Yeah hey button, um would like to be in the cmc?"

"I don't know, I mean I don't really care about my cutie mark"

"WHAT!"

"HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT YOUR CUTIE MARK!!" , they all said in a union (except for rumble and button).

"well its just that I already know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life I don't need a to be told that".

"huh i never really thought of it that way, so you don't to go on amazing adventures with us?" scootalo said while already knew his response

"well i didn't say th-",

"great and it so happens i already have a adventure in mind"

"really?" everypony in the cmc said (except for scootalo for obvious reasons)

"yes i do" scootalo said proudly,

"what is it?" applebloom said while confused of this sudden spring of a idea,

"its!"

Author's Note

I feel like I used to much "ya" for apple bloom, anyways thanks for reading and stay tuned for the next chapter its going to be quite the adventure

4 part 1:the adventure begins

"WHAT!", sweetie belle said as she was shocked,

"you heard me c-",

"we know what you said scootalo just don't ya think we should make up a new idea i mean button is new",

"nope, besides this is a good test for button, so what do you say button you in?".

"well i guess its alright with me".

"trust me button you'll be fine if you just have the right gear",

"Oh sorry guys i got to go, apple jack wants me at the farm early to help her out with some chores bye!.

"Oh wait i didn't tell her we would do it tomorrow, bye guys!", after scootalo left a distant yell of "WAIT!" could be heard.

"I still don't think you should have accepted the idea button, its way too dangerous",

"yeah sweetie belle is right, most of their adventures include banned for life of something or injured seriously".

"I, well!, shut up!", sweetie belle said while unsure of what words to use,

"see, even she knows that, anyway i got to go see you tomorrow guys bye.

"ugh i need something to release this UGH! i don't even know what to call it, i need to go home",

"maybe you can play on my joyboy while your at home?",

"thanks but no thanks i don't play games",

"just try it sweetie belle", "please!" he said while using puppy dog eyes

"Alright i'll try it at home",

"awesome, bye sweetie belle".

"such a goof ball, well got to get to rarity's".

*time skip*

"so who's ready for some C-", scootalo was saying until sweetie belle put her hoove over scootalo's mouth

"please don't remind me rarity didn't take the news so well" sweetie belle said as she obviously wanted to forget what happened yesterday.

*flash back*
rarity and sweetie belle were starting to eat dinner it was spegetti

"hey sis?"

"yes?"

"well um tomorrow me and the other crausaders are going to try to earn are cutie marks"

"oh yes that, what are you trying to get your cutie mark this time?" after she finished her sentence she was chewing a meat ball.

"in cave exploring", sweetie belle said nervously,

"WHAT!?", as soon as she said that she was choking.

*end of flash back*

"i don't want to ever relive that moment again", she while she shivered.

"okay?" scootalo said as she was confused of why her friend looked so traumatized, "anyway everyone got their gear?",

they all responded by nodding their heads.

"Good, let's go"

5 part 2: half way

"Hey um scoots?" Apple bloom said while hesiatant to go in the cave.

"Yeah applebloom?",

"This looks pretty unsafe".

"I agree with applebloom", sweetie belle said while taking a few steps back.

"You guys are just scared this is going to be fun, besides this isn't as terrifying as much as your other adventures,

"Yeah why can't you be more like rumble, he actually trusts me".

"Why don't we let button decide this is going to be his first crusade", sweetie belle said while obvious on insisting on button chosing.

"Fine, button is this okay with you?", scootalo said while hoping he'd say yes,

"Hm yeah sure".

"There is everypony happy now",

"Wait!", "oh celestia what now sweetie belle" it was obvious she was annoyed.

"What if we get seperated?", "I think we should be in a group of two and three since there's only five of us",

"That seems resonable how 'bout you scoots?"

"If it gets us done with this then fine".

"So everypony ready for the third time", scootalo said while lost of excitment in her statment,

"Yup", the four foals said.

"Great", scootalo said with actual excitment.

As they went in button noticed something, "hey guys I don't think this cave's structure is going to stand",

"What do you mean button?",

"Well rumble when a structure can't stand it collapses/falls/breaks down like a tower with on of its pillers taken away".

"Pssshhh, come on button this cave hasn't collapsed before besides how would you know?",

"Well I play civilisation games which means I need to make houses,banks ect also I see cracks in the ceiling".

"Wait what!", sweetie belle's voice cracked.

Then the cave was collapsing, the ceiling was shaking and so was the floor, it was clear the cave was breaking down, one wide stalagmite fell down in the middle of the space of where the cruasaders are standing. *Thump* the cruasaders were seperated scootalo,rumble were trapped in one half of the space and the other had button,applebloom and sweetie belle,.

"scootalo,rumble!", button yelled,"are you guys okay?",

"Yeah" rumble said,"We need to find a way out".

"Yeah I agree with you, but I think the only way to do that is by leaving in different ways and if one of us doesn't come out then call for help",

"Alright see you on the other side button".

"Same to you bye".

"Bye".

"Alright how are we going to get out?", applebloom said while confident we would get out,

"I think we should explore for spots of light and if we do its probably a weak spot so we can start from there got it?".

"Gotcha",

"Sweetie belle?".

"Crystal clear",

"Great let's get going the earlier the better".

The gang searched for hours with no luck button was losing hope but not as much as sweetie belle, she sat down button noticed this and walked over to her.

"Hey are you okay?",

"Okay?,OKAY!?, WE ARE TRAPPED IN A CAVE WITH NO FOOD NO WATER WITH NO WAY OUT, WE ARE GOING TO DIE IN HERE".

"We can't lose faith",

"Faith ha don't pretend we have a chance button its over",

"Sweetie belle I know we can get out of here you just need to be strong if not for yourself then do it for me.

Sweetie belle saw a light in his eyes LIGHT, sweetie belle stood up and turned backwards she could see it!, a faint light but it was across a bridge that looked old maybe twenty or thirty years old.

"Guys!, I found it, LIGHT"

"great nice werk sweetie belle"

"Yeah but one problem there something walking around the corner", button was right there was something there but is it friend or foe?.

The mysterys

The shady figure that was acrossed the bridge held a button of some sort in its hoof.

"I know your potential so for that reason i can not let you go on any further you will die here".

Then the shady figure pressed the button with its other hoof.

BOOM! was the last thing they heard before plumenting to the darkness.

The explosion was huge leaving the fillies unconscious but button was awake though not without pain.

"Ow!, my head is hurting" but then button heard a voice talking to him.

"Hm i hope you don't die this is just the beginning of you adventure you know".

"Who said that?!".

"That doesn't matter now you need to continue forward".

"But i can't leave my friends".

"Don't worry button they will be safe i can assure you".

"Alright".

With this mysterious voice with button the adventure goes even deeper

Author's Note

Who's this mysterious voice? what does it want with button?

Well this is quite the twist, didn't expect this did you?

1 before the journy

"button it's time for bed, I know we finally moved our stuff from manehatten to ponyville but tomorrow is your first day of school"

"Okay mom I'll go to sleep but just one more game please!!!" Button said while putting his hooves together

"Fine but after that go to sleep".

"Okay thanks mom, I love you" he said as he turned his head back to the tv.

His mother chuckled "I love you too, good night".

"Okay high ride, we need to finish this last mission fast because I have to sleep after this mission" he looked at the digital clock next to his bed while he said that.

After 20 minutes the mission in his game was completed and as he layed on his bed, he wondered how his new life in ponyville was going to be but he fell almost instantaly after he finished his thoughts.

"BUTTON!"

"Huh what?" Button said while surprised and sleepy by the sunden shout of his mother.

"Get ready, it's time for school!" His mother said while unsure if shouting was necessary anymore

"*groan* mom do I have to?" Button said while in a whiny voice.

"if you want to become a videogame graphicer then yes" his mother knew he want to become a videogame graphicer when he grew up.

"FINE!" Button said while going down stairs accepting his fate, he knew school wasn't so bad it's just that his family moved so much that he started not to make friends because goodbye's were so hard for him to say, thus he only thought of videogames as his friend, sure he could have online friends but they weren't the same.

"Oh button didn't you say you had a online friend that lives here yesterday?.

"Oh yeah, I did didn't I?" That was the only thing he was looking up for this day besides playing videogames of course.

"Oh mom, when did you start paying attention to what I say?" saying in a curious face,

"When the topic ever mentions "friends", I mean why else would I pay attension" she said sarcastically. "Speaking of which you should probobaly go to school to make some".

"I get the message mom bye" button said while heading to the door but before he got his hoove to the door his mother spoke.

"And while I add maybe make a fillyfriend" his mother said while wearing a smirk.

"MOM!, Button said while blushing,

"I'm joking, bye honey" while his mother waved, and with that he left.
