(chime intro plays)
Button: (nasal, cheery voice; voiceover) My name is Button Mash. I'm eight years old, and I like video games!
I live in Ponyville with my mom, my dad, and my brother!
I don't have a cutie mark yet, but I don't care much about that.
And today is the first day of the new school year!
(yelling) Mom! I'm ready for school!
Mom: (exasperated shout) It's Sunday! Go back to bed!
Button: Never mind!
(Button's Adventures jingle plays)
(refrigerator motor running, Button gasps)
(Button sips through straw, swallows, sighs)
Button: Hm?
(Button gasps)
Button: (sobbing) Mo-o-om!
Game announcer: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! Mom: Button? (game pausing SFX) I have something for you!
Button: Huh? What is it?
Mom: It's your father's old video game machine.
I found it in the attic.
Oh, me and him used to play this all the time when we were your age. (giggles)
Mom: And I think it still works! Button: Oh, cool! Can I play on it?
Mom: Of course you can, Sweetie! Button: YAY! (happy chiptune jingle)
Mom: (singsong) Have fun!
(Button flips switch, machine hums loudly)
(machine humming, Button taps glass)
Button: (confused) Is it-is it broken?
Mom?
Hm...
(blipping noises)
("game over" noise)
...I don't get it.
(dramatic music, train noises)
Button: Choo-choo! (mumbles train noises) CHOO!
(flames erupt)
Button: (confused) I, uh...all right...
Shop owner: Order up!
Button: (rapidly) Milkshake race, 1 2 3 GO! (slurping through straw)
(Button screams in agony)
Button: Mom, have you seen my JoyBoy? Mom: It's in my room, Sweetie.
You must take better care of your things when you put them down.
I nearly fell over this morning.
Button: Thanks, Mom! Now, I just wish I knew where my-
(loud crash, Button yelps in pain) Found it!
(Button gasps)
Button: Hm?
(spy jazz playing, Button muttering approval)
Mom: Sweetie, do you want any ketchup with your-
Button: (awkwardly) Hi, Mom. Mom: (flatly) Take that off. That's your father's.
Button: (whining) But I look so COOL! Mom: (chastising) Button, I said-
Button: I'm not "Button" anymore, Mom.
I am...The 'Stache.
(Button's mom facehoofs)
(Sweetie Belle slurping milkshake) Button: (agonized scream) OW! OW! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! (sobbing)
Button: (normal) Oh, hey, a bit!
(video game BGM playing) Mom: Button, sweetie! It's time for school!
Button: (vacantly) Uh-huh, give me a minute.
Mom: ...Have you been up all night? Button: (mumbling) No, it's okay. The cat's got it with the salad.
Mom: ...What? Button: I already put-I-I-I-the French toast.
Mom: (stern) Button! (game powers off)
This is getting ridiculous. You stay up all night and you-
(portable video game BGM)
Button, stop. It's gonna mess with your head.
Button: (rapid, indistinct whining) But Mom, I need to fight the coherds
to save the village of Gumbai if I want any luck
in defeating the alixes of Humgohia!
Mom: (shakes off confusion) No. Go to school. NOW.
(Button speaking Humgonian) Tee ni ektum kai.
(Button's mom speaking Humgonian) Thry tee den, tein kaflora.
Mom: I was young once, too, y'know.
Oh! And by the way-
(speaking Humgonian) Thry tee blyn.
(Button speaks Humgonian, kicks ball, yelps in pain) Zeykamiff! Agh!
(chiptune-esque closing theme of Button's Adventures)
