Button sat waiting at the bus-stop, swinging his legs back and forth as he watched for the bus to come grinding along to him, Ponyville look moderately dead this early in the morning, the only ones out were old Mares walking their dogs or suited up business-folk driving their shiny new coaches into Canterlot city. Button didn't mind waiting by himself, he always loved how the sun would lazily raise up through the tall mountains, cutting through the clouds with radiation beams of gold as they licked at button's face like a puppy, he had a lot more of an appreciation for the sun nowadays, it reminded him that he was safe and alive.
He began to kick at the dusty ground, shooting up dry dirt for no real reason, he wasn't sure why but today he felt very happy to go back to school, I guess after all the stuff that had happened, him getting kidnapped, his holdout at berry's ... the Zebra, he felt like he needed something to look forward to, today would be it, his life would now be sunshine and Celery stalks.
*BRR BRR* growled the old bus as it slowly approached the pickup stop, Button could see the faces of ponies, so blank, so contempt with what-ever they were doing, it made him remember how high the school was, just a bunch of kids hanging around complaining about things that they never really cared about.
Button sat up and approached the yellow coach, it's rusty doors sliding open and its prune faced driver staring him down, a slight lick of confusion on him.
"Boy what happened to your face, you get kicked in the head or something?" he grizzled, tracking all the big and little bruises on Button's mug.
Button said nothing, he merely walked onto the bus and have a grunt of laughter at what the bus driver asked, not acknowledging the question. He again looked at all the faces on the bus, blank and un-caring, the only stray in the crowd was the look on Rumble and Scarlet's face as they saw their missing friend, faces shocked and eyes as wide as dinner plates. Button approached them, his face placid and normal as if nothing had ever happened.
The brown colt took a seat next to Scarlet, her face still in dumb-struck.
"Mornin'" casually said button, sliding into the folds of the leather seat.
The girl stared at him as if he was a ghost, it wasn't till Rumble violently jumped onto the empty seat in front of them did her brain finally snap back to normal, with hooves wide open she wrapped both arms around Button, griping as tight as she could so he wouldn't disappear in front of her, washing away like sand.
"errhh! Good eh, morning to you too egh scarlet" heaved Button, his lungs being squished like grapes at the young girl's embrace..
"Where have you been dude!" shot Rumble, eyeing out all the boy's bruises.
Button's brain immediately switched into alibi mode, telling them exactly what he had been told by his mother.
"I've been staying at snips's place for a few days, getting stoned ya know".
They both gave him a queer look.
"Are you telling me you ran off just to get ripped for a few days" menacingly said the orange mare, fires burning in her eyes as her rage built up, her nature switching from shock and love to stuing anger at his story.
"At least I'm not dead" quickly replied Button, pushing himself into the sit, trying to re-assure her.
"Do you have any Idea how fucking worried I was....I thought you had been kidnapped or raped or killed!" she bitterly said, a grimace on her face as she stared down the mocha colt.
"But I'm not...'button replied with, speaking with a little more conviction but indeed a lot of her at what she was going to do next.
"What the hell happened to your face?" asked Rumble, still staring blankly at all the bruises and missing teeth.
