This story is a sequel to The Gift of the Mash
Button Mash had been planning this out for years, ever since that one Heaths Warming Eve where Sweetie Belle kissed him. He was going to ask her out on a date. He's got the perfect idea, taking her out to the Canterlot Winter Ball after Hearths Warming Eve. Only problem is that he doesn't have tickets, but he knows somepony who does. Somepony he's going to regret working for.
Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle is getting prepared for her date with the one boy she's had a crush on for a long time. However, her entire world is rocked when she learns of a secret she was never meant to learn and questions everything in life.
Will this Hearths Warming Eve end up being a season of memories or a season of sorrows?

Absolutely love this story.
So... when's the next chapter come out, and how many chapters are there in total?
Anyway, this is a nice introduction, especially with the Button and Sweetie starting it off with their favorite pastime: playing video games. I also like how most of this is following from Sweetie's perspective such as how she was reflecting to the times where she and Button got their respective Cutie Marks. I am also surprised that Button's parents went through a divorce, but then again, we never knew much about of Button's father and older brother in the first place.
Of course, we may have come across them at some point if Hasbro wasn't being such a total jerk against the JanAnimations' fan-made episodes. 
Like I said, this is a nice start for the sequel, and I look forward to seeing what else is in stored for our two favorite Equestrian gamers (besides Princess Luna)!
Favorite quote in this chapter:
Well said, Sweetie Belle.
By the way... you're welcome!

5366840 I had the amazingly complicated idea of just using Google (
) pretty much immediately after I asked, but thanks anyway. 
Goddammit, PUBERTY! Also i remember the first time i got MY vengeance against bullies. Sweet, sweet vengeance. Vengeance is fun for everyone!
I accidentally said DAY instead of DANCE.
I do a good button mash voice.

Thanks, I'll listen to it later. I'm surprised you didn't do a reading for Gift of the Mash first
5367218
Shhhhh, I'll do that eventually.
The next chapter I might add a bit of sound effect.
7:13 is the best part.
5367185 Sounds good!
Oh my god. I still have Gauntlet for the Playstation 2. Love that game. I can relate to the chest part. I HATED when that happened to me.
5367218
You should totally put a link to the reading on the description. if...if you want to that is.
5367644
If it was a single one sure, but I don't know about multiple. I'll post a link to it on a blog post tomorrow. Cool?
5367647
Alright then!
The ButtonBelle has returned! The sweet, glorious ship in which I dedicate my time to! Merry Christmas, and f**k yeah for ButtonBelle!
Seeing as this story doesn't have the tragic tag, I'm going out on a limb and saying it ends well.
5368753
Fucking gold.
Other than that loving the story so far, I want more!
That, plus the icky fluids coming out of unmentionable places, and the occasional strong urge to drag Button to her bedroom. But this is supposed to be a sentimental part, so don't mind me.
5372713
That would have been hilarious.
Ugh, they're still kids. Alright let's see where this...
...okay, it's a nonsense kind of story. I like that.
That end!!!!
Git gud scrub.
For every day I don't see the next chapter, I kill fiddy men.
Who's the baby daddy? Do we find out or no?
5398747
He will be mentioned
5398748 Good. I've read one other story with that twist and the father just never got brought up. It irritated the hell out of me.
5398725 Dunt do eet! Yuh cahnt run away from yer destiny!
It's been a while since I've seen that.
I think I like where this is going.
I have seen that family relationship done well as a subplot in one fic. Unfortinately, it was the only thing that particular fic did well. I have high hopes that this story won't have the the same problem.
