It was a week before the Cutie Mark Camp was scheduled to happen, one could see Button Mash heading to the front door of the schoolhouse after the end of classes to head off with Shady and Rumble. Before they could leave however, Sweetie Belle called him over to the playground. Rumble and Shady shook their heads before glaring at Sweetie Belle.

"What do you want Sweetie Belle, I was about to head off with Shady and Rumble." Button said mildly annoyed, he had a pretty good idea what this was about.

Sweetie Belle shook her head slightly. "It's been months already, Button..." She said. "It's about time for to you get your Cutie Mark, don't you think?”

"Not yet... Just not yet." Button sighed. "And I can't leave Rumble and Shady alone with no Cutie Marks."

"Fine, I guess that's your decision..." Sweetie Belle said in disappointment. "If you need me, I'll be at the clubhouse..."

"Clubhouse... Yeah okay. Ughhh..." Button trotted away and headed off with Rumble and Shady.

"So what were you two talking about anyways?" Shady Daze asked as he looked at Button Mash. "Cutie Marks? Love? Photographs?!"

Button blushed a little and looked away, staring at the very same Arcade Machine he lost in Hearts and Hooves Day.

"Ooooooo! You have a crush on Sweetie Belle!" Shady teased with a laugh as he nudged Button.

"N-No! I don't! We were just talking about... Homework!" Button’s blush intensified as he kept walking.

"Homework? Heh, we shouldn't worry about it too much." Rumble said as he looked up. "What grades do we have right now? A solid B?"

"Actually, a perfect A!" Shady said, happy at their grades. "Well, Button has an A+ ever since we started to ignore Cutie Marks."

"Hmm. Well I'm gonna leave you guys for now. I'm heading out with Thunder for some more training." Rumble said, walking off. "See you guys some other time."

"Bye Rumble!" Shady waved to him.

"Huh? Err, bye Rumble..." Button Mash was distracted in his thoughts, remembering that day on Hearts and Hooves again. "Man it's been almost a year since that day…”

"What day?" Shady asked.

"Hearts and Hooves Day." Button Mash said with a sigh Shade wondered what happened of important that day, but decided to not ask. "Aren't you going to go back to your house Shady Daze?"

"What? Who needs houses! I have a Photograph shop near the Clubhouse!" Said Shady happily.

"What!? When did that happen? Yesterday?!" Button asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah!"

"You’re serious!? I have no words..." Button Mash sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Well I'm going back to my house for some video games. You know, to kick some monsters flank!"

"Hehe, good luck with that Button. I'll see you soon!"

"Yeah, see ya!" Button trotted off to his house while Shady headed to his Photograph shop. "Hmmm... Nah, I'll get my Cutie Mark soon."

Flashback

Almost one year ago, it was Hearts and Hooves Day. A younger Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom were heading to the middle of Ponyville, until Sweetie Belle started to sing

[Sweetie Belle]

Cheerilee is sweet and kind,

She's the best teacher we could hope for.

The perfect stallion you and I must find

One to really make her heart so-o-oar.

But...

*Whoosh*

Meanwhile…

Button Mash was on a Arcade Machine. He was currently trying to win the game, and was already on the final boss. Which might be pretty hard, he thought.

Final boss

"Okay, here we go!" Button said as he paid full attention to the screen.

Get Ready!

"I'm ready!" Button moved the controllers for a little bit until.

[Sweetie Belle]

This one's too young...

"Huh?" Button looked away from the screen as he saw Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo heading off into the distance.

GAME OVER

"What?!” Button whipped around and stared in disbelief at the screen. “No! No! NOOOO! SWEETIE BELLE!!!" Button Mash started to cry as he kept staring at the screen. "Six hours wasted!"

Do you want to play again?

"Okay..." Button Mash sniffled before looking at the screen and starting the game all over again.
