Chapters Ugh," an annoyed Diamond screams.
"Something wrong sweetie. " replied filthy rich.
"Why did this have to happen to us. " commented Diamond tiara.
"Relax sweet heart all of this is just part of life. "
"I know but still it's just for unfair, " with her hooves stomping on the ground.
"I know sweet heart but you just got to roll with the bucks. “
A few awkward moments of silence between the 2 are shared before Diamond tiara breaks the immortal silence.
"Hey dad, you Said you had called up an old friend right."
"Yes sweet heart. "
"Is he like a business partner or ........"
"No sweet heart she."
"She?"
"Yes sweet heart she is an old friend of mines from my kinder garden."
"So we will be sleeping at HER place tonight?"
"Why did you emphasis on the word 'her' my dear .........o wait, wait, wait, wait sweet heart it's nothing like that, we are just friends that is all. "
"Okay riiiiiiiiiiiight, that explains why we are walking to the suburban area."
"Why, is something wrong with the suburbs sweet heart. "
"No is just that well i thought this friend of yours to be a business friend instead of a foal hood friend and usually your business friends don't live in filthy suburbs like this. "
"Diamond! We will have respect when we arrive okay. None of that attitude of yours you got it."
Diamond tiara rolls her eyes.
"Okay dad. "
After several minutes of walking which felt like hours thanks to Diamond tiaras constant complaining, whining and even more questions, they arrive at the gate of their host for the night.
Diamond tiaras eyes went as thin as pin pricks as she stared at the dress and home: 24 hay baker street.
Diamond tiara starts to walk back slowly staring at the number and the name of the house she was tasked to stay in. she continued walking back slowly until she fell down which was only a few inches from her original stand. Rich saw this and he constantly called out to Diamond tiara and she gave no response. he continued his endeavor until he became extremely frightened and yelled at her
"O my celestial! Diamond is everything OK dear, talk to me." filthy said in a very terrified voice.
"No , no , no everything is wrong dad, everything is wrong."
"Why sweet heart just please tell me what's wrong."
"We are at HIS house. "
"Wait you know who lives here. "
Yes, he is the bane of my existence. The warden of my prison. The executioner of my joy. The harvester of my sorrows. We are at mash's house.
A few knocks where given at the gate which Diamond tiara had only noticed the last few knocks since she was so stunned and shocked to this reveal.
Diamond was completely flabbergasted as to where she will be sleeping tonight.
"Dad what are you doing. Quick we have to run while we still have the chance, we must run now."
"Sweet heart where will even go. "
"Will suffer through the rain, sleep under a box, we will hide in some-ponies basement , just please dad not this pla-"
Diamond tiaras words where cut short by the soft words of a gorgeous mare.
"Hello Rich."
"Hello Tap."
Love taps was well known as one of the beauties of pony Ville, effortlessly stealing every single eye of pony Ville’s male population except for the stallions who were already married and in a happy relationship but they still noticed her. she would walk by completing her usual grocery shopping or whatever she had to do in town. A stallion who was caught entering her home was considered one lucky stallion. love tap was as beautiful as she was smart, making her all the more of a deadly catch
she even modeled for some of Rarities shows and she did it for quite a considerable amount of time to .Some even wonder how can any stallion be stupid enough to divorce such a beautiful and graceful mare .
"So this must be your daughter."
"Yes this is my daughter, Diamond tiara. "
"wow she is so beautiful. " love tap said with a comforting smile.
The expression had taken Diamond tiara completely off guard. leaving her completely stunned.
"Well aren't you 2 going to come In."
However, before Diamond tiara could step into the house, she was stopped by her father’s hooves.
With love tap already in the house filthy whispered into Diamond's ear. "Remember Diamond tiara where are just going to stay here for the night OK. Once morning comes we will leave. OK so I don't want any of that attitude of yours ".
Filthy rich said with serious expression on his face warning Diamond tiara that if she messes up, open her big mouth, insult or negatively comment on their way of life or hurts them in any way. She won’t be in hot water she will be in STEAMING water.
Although it was hard to hear her father with his soft voice despite his close distance, it was clear enough for Diamond tiara to understand completely.They both enter the home.
Love tap who was now returning to the kitchen called her son "sweetie heart the visitors are here "
With that said Diamond could hear the hooves steps coming from the top of the building which was considerably quiet big for a mare who's line of work is foal caring , it was oddly suspicious considering that it doesn't pay so well but no pony paid any mind to it .
Button mash walks into the room. his mouth completely drops as he finally completes scanning the area for the guests.
"DIAMOND TIARA !!!!!!"
The volume of his words completely caught both guest off guard.
love tap immediately was flushed red embarrassed about her son’s outburst and pulled him one side.
"Mom we have to run, we have to leave will have move now," a rambling button said
Love tap was quite confused by this although button mash isn't a social butterfly, he was very kind to guest. He would let the younger visitors play his joy boy and play with them, be respectful to the older pony's and all the other usual etiquette's of a normal growing earth pony colt.
"W-w-w-what are you talking about sweetheart. "
"Mom Diamond tiara is here."
"So. " love tap said with an eyebrow raised.
"Mom, she's my worst enemy. "
His mom giggled a bit.
"Sweet heart every pony deserves a second chance, no matter what they have done to you."
"But mom she's been mean to me ever since hearts and hooves day. "
Love tap recalls her first heart and hooves day in pony Ville
Love tap remembered her first hearts and hooves day in pony Ville, it was also her first hearts and hooves day as a single divorced mother. Love tap was confused remembering everything went well despite some downs.
They threw a party for hearts and hooves days, inviting all button mash's friends and it was a huge success at the time. she even remembered button inviting Diamond tiara to it. it was also the day button mash got his first crush ' sweetie bell'. However, it didn't end well.
she confessed she had feelings for anther colt, after a few heart soaked words button nodded at sweetie belle and asked if they would remain as friends. However, Rarity had mistaken the situation and she immediately took action, which by Rarity immediately started levitation button mash into the air and putting him on the other side of the room. It wasn't really noticed by the other guest but it was not appreciated by both the foals of that broken friendship.
Now sweetie bell has left pony Ville for a while. leaving button mash behind, all alone.
The other cutie mark crusaders heard about this incident and decided to stay away from him, as things might get awkward.
It was a sad and painful moment but it was still a pleasant holiday, button mash actually recovered remarkably, which was odd as love tap thought his sensitivity would play a bigger part in his small period of heart break.
love tap covers her face with her hooves and then rubs her temples slowly trying to process why her son would not listen to her.
"Listen here sweet heart you either be nice to our guest or you can go a month without any games and let's just say something might happen to your little joy boy of yours."she said with a wicked grin.
Button mashes heart immediately grew with fear as he knew what his mom meant. His mother is very capable of keeping her promises.
With a grunt as her reply, love top immediately went to the dinner table ready to serve out every pony’s food.
It was quite a big dinner table. With a several extensions (it was a square at the time but if the extension where put into place it would be an octagon) that has the reach of probably 2 crocodiles in length and width, which was actually sad cause it would be meant for a huge family and yet it wasn’t. Well at least tonight it would be filled up a little more than usual.
With a soft voice love tap said "I hope very pony is ready for the dinner "
"Let's hope you cooking skills have improved from we last saw each other love tap”. filthy rich said with a wide grin on his face.
"What do you mean 'improved’, my mom is the best cook I know ". said the sweet little colt
Rich turned to the chocolate brown colt.
Well you see little colt your mother burnt down the high school kitchen when we were at collage together taking cooking classes.
As if almost instant blink of an eye button mash started giggling which almost turned into a roaring laughter of it wasn’t for the colt’s hooves. Lucky his mother went to go fetch the food from the kitchen so she wasn't able to see or hear her giggling son. After a few seconds the young colts began to hold in more his laughter with more control and few more moments later the laughter of the chocolate colt was gone
Diamond tiara both annoyed by his giggles and how high pitched it was for a mere giggle said spoke
"It wasn't that funny" and under her breath she also said “dumb blank flank "
The earth pony colt immediately stopped laughing.
Button mashes mother had finally entered the room with a big pot of roast pumpkin, mashed potatoes and some carrots. Whilst balancing the huge pot in her head
Diamond tiara new they wouldn't have any of her taste which was expensive, extremely crazy expensive. Here usual appetizers were mini lobsters, main course was a 20 king sized prawns and for dessert ice cream cake or truffle. Depending on the weather outside usually meant which desert she would get. However, she knew what she will get off she opens her mouth to say something to hurt some pony’s feelings or dare she says it. Call button mash a tasteless and middle class BLANK FLANK.
Mustering all her will power, the small fill held her venomous words tightly in her mind and locking it up was hard but it was worth it she means not meeting her father wrath.
Just as expected the young fill thought of herself. ugh self-served she moaned in her mind. reaching for the plate and grabbing it with her mouth. Grabbing the plate, the pink earth filly gently settled the ceramic plea on her side of the large table
Diamond opened her mouth ready to be food poisoned which she will expect it to be a foul play from button mash. She opens her mouth and ingest a tiny piece of pumpkin with a small piece of carrot and a tiny piece of potato to accommodate the pumpkin. She slowly chews the edible’s created by the nurturer of her mortal nemesis and ....... And ......... And .......it’s delicious? It was a divine rush of sweet and spicy flavor with a hint of tang.
Diamond tiara could not believe what was happening or in this case what she was tasting.
O my celestia MS mash this is; this is......amazing. A small smirk came across button mashes Face. Diamond realize what she has said, which was a compliment to the enemy. she could have said it to her friends, to her relatives .to any pony else but she had to open her mouth and say it to the enemy, or at least the mother of her enemy
A big and beautiful smile comes across lianas face and thanks Diamond for the compliment. Love tap also adds
"Well I can’t take all the credit sweet heart, my son also helped me prepare the food".
Diamond jaw immediately drops but not because of the food. Ok maybe a little bit because of the food but to the fact that she also complimented her enemy. The smirk on button mashes face beginning to grow wider and wider. Diamond tiara grew more irritated as buttons smirk became wider. The thick as smog tensions was immediately however it was almost effortlessly cut off with the 2 grown-ups of the table started talking to each other sharing stories and catching up on old time and a few words where said which went over the foal’s head but not much heed was paid to the undefined vocabulary.
Eventually the beautiful yet horrid meal was vanished of the table
Trying to being a gentle colt button mash took Diamond tiara plate and Mr. filth riches plate
Love tap had to go to the kitchen for some dessert Mr. rich followed in for some odd reason. He didn't have anything to say to the 2 foals on the table. To Diamond tiara this was not an issue but for button mash this was all the red flags gone up, heck, this is every flag gone.
Button urgently needed to get to the kitchen to find out, why Mr. rich was in there, why was he in the kitchen with his mother all alone. He had to move he had to - Diamond tiara interrupted button mash thinking bubble for plans of scouting the grown-ups “hey blaaaaaaaaaaanket "
Button mash immediately looked up at Diamond tiara
Although it was weird Button mash new that it was an attempt to stop herself from calling him a blank flank. He still grinned and laughed a tiny bit in his mind for calling him a blanket instead of a blank flank.
The statement was kind of embarrassing and made Diamond look a little bit stupid.
Mph, blanket, that’s new a one.
“Shut up yaaaaaaaaaa.”
“Yaaaaa what.”
*sigh*” never mind .so any way button bash. What ya got to do for fun around here”
"Ya" ha you sounding more like apple bloom now Diamond, maybe you are hanging around them to much
Well it’s a shame button bash you not hanging around them at all with the little sweetie belle event you had on hearts and hooves day. remember
An irritated grunt came from the young colt.
“Well anyway button bash you got any games for me to play with that is sophisticated, educational and well thought-out game. Huh?”
Usually this would be Diamond tiaras go to card when she wants to irritate button mash but not this time.
“Well yes actually, button said with a smirk on his face. I got a game that is sophisticated classy and a guarantee that you are going to lose" metal head”. Button had his own arsenal of words to use but his favorite was crown stone and pebble tiara.”
“O bring it on, what is the name of this lame game that I’m going to beat in an ease.”
Button grabbed Diamond tiaras hooves and ran to his gaming room which he had on the top floor next to the toilet. The positioning of the toilet was very helpful on burrito night. Every Tuesday.
While dragging Diamond tiara to the game room, he looked back and saw her covering her face and was wondering what was the need to do this.
When they finally reached to their destination button mash saw that Diamond tiara was a bit sweaty and he was still holding her hooves so he could feel that she was a bit warm, no, not warm, hot actually.
“What are you doing you blank flank let go of me.”
Button thought it was weird cause she’s telling him to let go but she had the ability to move her hooves away from button mash's hooves herself and yet she didn’t.
Button turned on his neigh station 8. The hay-tivisition logo appeared on the 32-inch flat screen TV. Eventually the game name appeared on the screen.
"Totally Accurate Tea party simulator?"
“Yup” button mash said with a high and might tone. “Only the best of the best gamers can beat this game and I’m one of them.”
Button mash went to the online server and showed Diamond tiara a sparkling trophy icon on his name and he was “number one in the WHOLE OF EQUESTRIA!”
Diamond tiara shouted not expecting this kind of an achievement.
“What scared Diamond tiara”
Quickly realizing the error, the filly quickly thought of a way to recover the conversation
No, it was just a scream of excitement for when I take down your high score, Becoming equestrian’s number one gamer.
Hours had gone by and Diamond tiara was still trying to get past the first level and she’s failing miserably.
Button mash had laid down his head but not falling into a slumber as he knew that totally accurate tea party simulator was a game known for its frustration and with a hot head like Diamond tiara on the controller. Lunas knows what’s going to happen.
Still, his eyes were closed but his ears were perked up and his tail slight keeping it close to Diamond tiaras just in case he needed to wrap his tail around Diamond, restricting her from demolishing his 15000-bit game console.
FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE.
Button mash smirked as he kept on hearing the word that completely disgusted him as a gamer but now it was as harmonies. As a choir of angels singing together in serenity. The words he absolutely despises when he had the console was now the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.
FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE.
As the game contained on its rampage of insults to the pink filly. Button mash was alerted; a growl can be heard of Diamond tiara. Fear in his fear and worry lingered in his heart. The earth pony colt stood ready to put Diamond tiara down or at least restrict her, love tap did tell Button mash that it wasn’t gentle-coltly to harm a mare or filly for a reason that wouldn’t been seen as socially approving.
But never the less. He was ready. Button mash was fast on his hooves, sure he didn't have the strongest punch or biggest muscle like tender taps but he definitely had the fastest, a side effect of playing ‘burning ice’ the virtual reality game which required precision and speed. Ready to move, Button mash kept his still hind legs ready for speedy grapple and restraint.
Button mash heard slight rules and shifts in movement then instantly, everything went silent. However, nothing happened, no screaming, no bashing not even getting up but then all of a sudden Button feels a soft gentle hoof on his shoulder blade.
Completely frozen, Button sat there. Unwilling to open his eye’s. Praying to celestia that it is his mother’s hooves That he had actually fallen asleep and had re-awoken but He knew he didn't fall asleep.
The hair of the colt’s boy stood up.an electric bolt of shock went through Button s body as a second hoof settled on the base of Button s right cheek. the colt laid still on the floor. His eyes still ever closed. Button had to get a small peek, Button risked it and opened his eyes just slightly, he sees a pink fur coat and a small pink lips inches from his own, her eyes still closed. Shacked Button closed his field of vision. The level of confusion of the colt was beyond measurement. The colt felt hundreds of emotions run through him. Button mash was completely dumb struck. After what seemed like hours of an inability to comprehend the situation but was actually minutes. The young stallion felt It’ll of those emotions immediately shot out of the colt as he could hear a small cooed from the pony kissing him. Then Button felt the gentle force that was rushed up against his lips leave him.
After the she broke away from her kiss. The young stallion was relieved, the situation had died down a bit and that she left his lips but the trouble of the young colt soon came back as his tail was being completely wrapped around by Diamond ’s tail. Button mash had a short tail and Diamond had quite the bushy fluffy tail. Which made it easier to wrap it around Button mash’s tail. He could feel her tail slowly engulfing the foul’s tail.
Button mash had played enough games to know that this is not supposed to happen to enemies or this should not be done by enemies but by lover interest of the protagonist. the music of the game stopped. Diamond tiara had paused the game.
“why Button mash, why did you have to run to her, why her, why didn't you notice me?”
The brown colt laid petrified. plans of escaped formed in the colt’s mind. As the gears of thought turned itself in Button s head. The process was halted. Halted by the gentle muzzles of Diamond tire
“why did you just ignore me? I tried so hard, I tried so much but you never noticed me”
“after all the good things I had done for you, all the times I tried to win you over, but you never saw it. you never saw anything. Did you ignore me? When I’m mean to you, that's the only time you notice me. WHY, Button mash why. AGH.” Diamond tiara uttered out. Suddenly Button mash feels something wet on the edge of his muzzle and the soft cries of a filly
" O my celestia is she crying, what is going. what does she mean by not noticing her, what is going on " panicking Button mash began to shake but just barely?
"I guess tonight is the only time I’m going to be close to you Button. I just wish I was brave to tell you m how I feel. That I hate bullying you, that I hate calling you names. but then again, bullying is the only way that you actually notice me. huh. what’s up with that. O my celestia what am I doing. I'm talking to my self is what I am doing! I’m just fantastic aren't I. "
"My celestia she’s ........ She......... She’s in l-l-l-l-love with me " thought to himself. And what does she mean by all the good things she did for me. Have I been so love struck with sweetie belle that I haven't noticed what other fillies have been doing around me .NO, I have to get the bottom of this I must find out the truth, if she knows that I am awake and she's baiting me or is this how she really feels about me.
A few more minutes had gone by with the seemingly unusual atmosphere around them Button mash ‘arousal' woke up from his "sleep”. Just as Button has planned. Diamond quickly reacted and sprang away from the colt. Grabbing the controller, making it look like she had never left. “Have you been going through this level the whole time Di?
“Yes, now shut up and go to sleep or at least yourself useful and go get us some drinks. Button Nash.”
“What Button bash not cutting it for you anymore Diamond tiara?”
“Shut up and listen.”
With a defeated sigh, Button mash went towards the stairs. The colt’s mother’s room is right by the stairs. Her room perfectly parallel to the entrance to the stairs, this design proved to be problematic. especially when the cream mare not having a good night failed to paying attention to her surroundings and accidentally slips of.
He walks past the room slowly. as the colt turned the corner the young stallion heard weird noises, light moans but not the usual moans of stress, pain or frustration. These moan was more of a joyful one and then Button could hear his mother, love tap began saying “faster”.
Not wanting to be caught Button mash slowly and stealthily, like snake from pony gears, sneaks down to pour Diamond tiara and himself some juice. opening the fridge with his move the colt grabbed the white box with his mouth and he pours the gold liquid into 2 transparent glass cups. he ponders over the one sided conversation him and Diamond tiara had in his room.
“What could she mean by all that, maybe I can’t remember what's she did for me. ”as the colt recalled his past memories, the Button slapped his head with his hooves” Wait Button, this is tiara The most wretched and horrible pony you know. Are you seriously falling for this lie “the colt rambling as a though had struck him “but What if this isn't a farce?” *Sigh *
Brown earth pony rubbed his head and wondered on.as the cycled through his thought, the colt hears a heard a voice from the back of his head
“BUTTON MASH CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU IDIOT”.
Button mash suddenly snaps back to reality and sees that he had empty half the bottle of juice on to himself and the glass as well as the table
“Oops” Button mash said in an idiotic sounding voice.
“O my celestia what is wrong with you.”
With no further response from Button, Diamond tiara proceeds to get a towel and began wiping Button mash.as she brushed the fabric against his chest, which completely caught him of guard. The colt stared at her
First she rubs his chest then his hooves. Not realizing that she is actually extremely close to himself. Sure it was just wiping of some golden liquids but this was all the proof Button mash needed.
for if she was bluffing him she wouldn't have helped.
He always remembers what mom told to him almost every day "you can always tell what kind of pony some pony is by the small things they do, not the big”. This in his head, Button mash new this was not a joke, rose, farce or a lie.
“Honestly Button mash if I ever meet some pony as clumsy as Button mash I swear I would have seen it all”.
Button mash paying no attention to this comment carried on staring into the big blue beautiful eyes of hers.
She notices this and keeps on wiping pretending that he’s not looking. A small blush ensued on the pink filly
Suddenly Button mash grabbed the towel out of her hooves and puts it down on the table.
“W-w-w-what are you doing” Diamond tiara mutters out.
Button mash again pays no attention and rushed his face towards hers but not to make lip contact but extremely close.
The 2 foals stood there for a few seconds neither one of them pulling away their faces from each other. Finally, Button mash moves in for his proper first kiss against Diamond tiara lips.
The 2 kiss for a long time Diamond tiara making no waste of this time immediately puts a hoof on his chest him and on his back indirectly forcing Button mash in to a deeper kiss and Button mash gently put his hooves by Diamond tiara hips. Button mash breaks from the kiss still holding Diamond tiara just in case she tries to make a run from it.
“W-w-w-what was that”.
“I'm pretty sure that was your first kiss Diamond tiara”.
Diamond tiaras is completely taken back by the comment
Suddenly a huge flash of red graced her face mixing with that elegant pink main coat
You’re a creep you forced me in a kiss I didn't want Button mash, you forced your lips on me!
The colt was speechless, after all that confession about how she felt about him. Diamond actually try to pull away from the kiss. Actually try to deny her feelings for him
“admit it Button mash. Someone dared you to kiss me. who dared you huh. snips and snails. Rumble, wood chipper, dinky?!
“she’s…………. afraid” the colt thought to himself. “she thinks that all of this is fake, that I’m trying to trick her “this anger the young stallion but he knew not to make a scene and not to tell it to her directly so the colt contained on. He had to make her confess on her own
“hmmm and yet when I put your face close to mines you didn’t pull back. when I was messed, you came to help clean me. I kissed you and you didn’t pull back. my hooves are on your hips right now Diamond tiara and yet you do nothing to stop it. you had all the power to stop this kiss and yet you didn’t why.”
“i-i-i-i-i.”
“Diamond don’t lie to me, I heard everything you said to me in my room”.
Realizing that Button mash was listening to her every emotion, she turned from the pinkish red filly in to a near pale white ghost.
"-and before you say how could you just kiss me just by rubbing juice of your coat, remember this. you can tell some pony who they really are by the small things they do not the big and the fact you came after to help me and came down with me to make sure I didn't get in trouble shows all the proof”.
Diamond cold only stare as Button continued
“you tried to help clean me up is all I need to know that I have feelings towards a kind sweet pony who just haves they occasional melt downs here and there and behaviorally mess up with the ponies they really care about. Most of the time “.
Well Button mash was an honest colt but sometimes he was a bit to honest for his own good.
before Button mash could carry on with his lecture Diamond tiara immediately kissed him again. completely nullifying his brain and quietening him
after then Diamond tiara broke the kiss. Button was stuck. As if he was a statue
" come on let’s go to bed its way past out bed time”.
Button mash immediately nodded, dried off and was about to go the living room to sleep on the couch until
“where do you think you are going Button mash?”
“I’m going to sleep”.
"noooooo no colt, you coming with me “. Diamond then grabs Button mash by the hoof and drags him to his room. from there the 2 foals climb into bed gave each other a passionate kiss and rest their heads in each other’s comfort
snuggling and slowly falling asleep Button mash and Diamond tiara for once looked forward to going to school because they were going.
Together.
