The three colts and fillies looked at each other, Button trying to not look directly at Sweetie Belle and Rumble also averting his gaze from Scootaloo. Shady Daze too tried to not stare at AppleBloom, instead, he looked at the Arcade Machine.

"What do you girls want? We are trying to win a game here..." Rumble groaned.

"We're just here for Button, Rumble." Sweetie Belle said with a little smile as she looked at Button Mash.Rumble rolled his eyes before nudging Shady to get his attention.

"Sooooooo, what do you want from me?" Button said, feeling a little upset that he lost yet another game. "This took us 8 hours this time you know...."

"Oh, sorry Button." AppleBloom said. "We're just here to ask if you want to get your Cutie Mark!"

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle waited eagerly for Button’s reply. He was deep in thought deciding if he wanted the CMC to help him find his Cutie Mark. Well, he seems to have changed his mind again.

Meanwhile, Rumble and Shady were having a silent chat about the topic.

"So Shady, do you think Cutie Marks are boring?" Rumble said, looking at his and Shady's flanks.

"Yeah... I tried to get my Cutie Mark, when Diamond Tiara was posting those newspapers some months ago..." Shady said as he looked in his bag for the camera. "One day working for her and still no Cutie Mark....."

"I am trying to get my own, but training with Thunderlane is... Well, it's not the best idea." Rumble grumbled as he looks at the sky. "I say Cutie Marks are boring as hay."

"I agree! We should talk more about it soon, though not here were they can hear." Shady whispered before he and Rumble turned back to Button and the CMC.

"Eh, I don't care about that much yet, maybe another day you three." Button said as he turned back to start the game again.

The fillies gasped as they heard Button said ‘I don't care’.

"But you need to get your Cutie Mark, Button!" Scootaloo exclaimed, her and the others crusaders quite shocked. "The future, the Video Games, and something like that!"

"I said another day." Button grumbled, annoyed at Scootaloo. "There's still time until the end of the school year. Maybe close to that date I'll get my Cutie Mark."

"But that's still a long time away! C'mon, we can help you with that right now instead of waiting for the end of the school year!" Sweetie Belle said in an attempt to change Button’s mind. It didn't work.

"Gah, I said later! Why don't you help with these two instead!?" Button pointed his hoof to Rumble and Shady. "Theirs might be easier!"

"No no no, we're perfectly fine like this, thank you very much!" Rumble crossed his hooves with a frown. Shady nodded in agreement.

"Three colts that don't want to get their Cutie Marks…? Now ah have seen everything..." AppleBloom said as she shook her head.

"I better go, I uhhhhh have to go home for dinner!" Button said, backing away before running off. "I'll see you tomorrow at school!" He shouted over his shoulder.

“O-oh, ok then Button!" Sweetie Belle said, still a little surprised by the whole ordeal. She could somehow tell that Button changed his mind again about getting his Cutie Mark, for some reason or another. “Strange..."

The crusaders then stared at the two colts still with them.

"Erm, I better go home too!" Shady said as he also backed away. "Lots of homework! Tomorrow, school and all that jazz!" He gave an unconvincing smile before nudging Rumble.

"Gah, m-me too! Thunderlane is uhhh, training me tonight, hahah… Soseeyatomorrowatschoolthenbye!" Rumble said hastily as both colts turned tail and ran off in Ponyville.

"That's really strange, Rumble and Shady and even Button?" Scootaloo said as she watched the retreating forms of the colts in the distance.

"Looks like this is going to take a while..." AppleBloom said, looking at her fellow crusaders.


On the next morning, everypony was already in class ready to learn, especially the crusaders. Rumble seemed to be the only one absent, strangely. Shady and Button were in class too, but were paying more attention to their camera and joyboy respectively.

"Hmmm, we shall wait for the chance girls. Soon, very soon..." Sweetie Belle let out a creepy giggle as she observed the two colts, mainly Button. The others gave her a look, to which she blushed a little in embarrassment.


As the weeks went by, Rumble, Button and Shady were starting to act more and more strange. Rumble, out of the three was more talkative, bragging about how Cutie Marks are for smaller foals. Button and Shady, they were a little more quiet but acted rude from time to time too.

"Did you see how they changed?" Apple Bloom asked her friends in worry.

"Yeah, we should have helped them when we had the chance." Scootaloo grumbled slightly.

"Button was never like this… He was always so cheerful and funny! But now, less talkative, rude and ragy." Sweetie Belle looked sadly at Button and the other colts.

“Uhm, what the hay is ragy?” AppleBloom asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sweetie Belle shrugged. “He's more prominent to rage about things.”

“Ugh! I hate this dictionary stuff!” Scootaloo said with a facehoof.
