3 Pies and a Baby Dragon

It was another ordinary day on the rock farm, Igneous was helping Maude and Marble break up rocks, while Limestone and Cloudy hauled them. They did the same thing everyday, nothing different. But today, something was going to show up unexpected in their schedule. They turned to find a red and yellow quadruped baby dragon running towards them, eyes all big and watering, and screaming,

"Don't let him get me! Don't let him get me!"

He hid behind Maude's legs as the thing in question, a rock golem, came up fast. Limestone ran headfirst towards the golem, cracking it to bits as her head made contact. She turned back to the baby dragon. She could literally see the stars sparkling in his eyes as he stared on in adoration.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!", he cried, embracing tightly around Limestone's neck, leaving her unable to breathe.

She shoved him off, stars spinning around his head as he hit the ground, shouting, "Get off! Okay, I saved your life, now go back to your family!"

"I...don't have a family...", he sighed.

"Oh no...", Limestone groaned, she knew exactly what was going to happen next with Marble around.

"Let's keep him! Can we Ma? Pa?", Marble exclaimed, just as Limestone predicted.

"Well...", Igneous thought, before his stern glare turned into a smile, "Of course we can. This little fella needs a home! And we're going to give it to him!"

"Oh, I'm so glad you said yes! I just couldn't stand the thought of the dear out here alone...", Cloudy smiled, nuzzling the baby dragon.

Maude smiled slowly and said, "He's so adorable. I like him. Welcome home, little brother."

"Oh come on now! He's not that cute!", Limestone said grumpily, a small puff of black smoke popping off the top of her head.

The baby dragon turned towards her and made the most adorable puppy face ever, his bottom lip out, and the biggest, most adorable anime eyes ever, watering.

Limestone couldn't take it, "Okay! Fine! He can stay! But keep him away from me!"

"What's your name, young one?", Igneous asked.

"Name? I...don't have one.", he sighed.

"Oooohh! Can I name him?", Marble asked excitedly.

"You'll have to ask him, dearie.", Cloudy smiled.

"It's okay! Give me a name!", the baby dragon exclaimed.

"Okay...umm...Stalagmite?", Marble began.

"Hmmm...no."

"Stalactite?"

"No."

Marble put her hoof on her chin, "Iron? Copper? Aluminum? Brass? Gold?"

"No, no, no, no, and no."

Marble beamed excitedly, "Oh! How about Sandstone?"

The baby dragon thought for a moment before smiling, "Sandstone...I like it! My name is Sandstone!"

"Okay then, Sandstone...", Maude smiled, bending over to let him on her back, "I'll give you a ride home. We're having Rock Soup."

"Wow! You guys eat rocks! You guys are the best! Thank you for adopting me, Mr. Uhh...", Sandstone grinned, hugging Maude's neck, before sitting up to look at Igneous.

"I'm Igneous Pie.", the old stallion smiled, introducing him to everyone else, "But you call me Pa. That's Ma, your sisters Maude, Marble, and Limestone, and your sister Pinkie lives in Ponyville."

"Wow! I never had a family before, or a name! The other dragons always called me 'Hey You!' , or 'You'. I love you guys soooo much!", Sandstone babbled on till they got home. He started hugging everyone, making them smile.

But as he approached Limestone, she glared and frowned, storming in the house, "Don't get mushy with me, dragon."

Marble walked up to him and nuzzled him saying, "Don't worry, Sandstone. She'll warm up to you eventually."

"Okay. Thanks for giving me a name, big sister.", Sandstone grinned, hugging her neck.

"You're welcome, little brother. Let's get going, the Rock Soup will be getting cold!", she smiled, kissing his forehead.

"Yeah! Rock Soup!"

The Pie Family had a more enjoyable dinner than before, with Sandstone around, Cloudy simply loved giving him a bath, washing his scales and between his horns, it reminded her of when his sisters were his age.

Igneous enjoyed reading him a bedtime story, tucking him in and kissing his forehead after Cloudy kissed her little angel. Marble was sharing her bed with him at the moment, tomorrow, Igneous would take Sandstone to Ponyville and pick him out a bed. Everyone but Limestone kissed him goodnight. Even Maude kissed him good night. Sandstone was happy.

Very happy.
