3 Pies and a Baby Dragon

3 weeks later, Sandstone's horns grew back. But that didn't keep Limestone from being a constant vigilante. She grew from being ferociously rejective to ferociously protective. Anyone who so much as looked at her little brother, got a glare, if anyone made fun of him, she kicked them.

Today was Sandstone's birthday, and Limestone wanted it to be perfect, so Igneous took him out to the quarry, while they got ready.

"Hey! Be careful with those balloons, Pinkie! I don't want them popping!", Limestone shouted at Pinkie, who was bouncing around with the balloons.

"Aww! Don't worry, Limestone! These balloons will be just fine! And the cake as well...even though I ate it...", Pinkie smiled sheepishly.

"You WHAT?! That was for Sandstone! Now what are we going to do?", Limestone cried.

"Don't worry, I have a cake in the oven. It's Sandstone's favorite: Jellystone Pound Cake.", Cloudy smiled, calming Limestone down. (I don't own Yogi Bear! Jellystone in this story is simply a kind of rock!)

"Thanks, Ma! You're a lifesaver!", Limestone sighed in relief.

"Hey, Limestone?", Marble asked, "Do you want red streamers or blue streamers?"

"Hmm...go ahead and do both. Maud, are you done with the piñata?", she replied, before looking to Maud.

"I sure am.", Maud answered, pushing a boulder about as big as her into the living room.

"You made sure it had gems inside, right? Cause there's no point in a piñata if nothing edible comes out of it.", she questioned.

"Oh yes. This has about 2 bushels of rubies alone, about 3 bushels of sapphires, and 6 bushels of emeralds.", Maud smiled, putting her ear up to the boulder to make sure.

"Oh, Limestone. I've never seen you this stressed out before. Are you okay?", Cloudy asked, putting a hoof on her shoulder.

"I'm fine, I just want Sandstone to have the best birthday ever. I even made him this carving. Do you think he'll like it?", Limestone replied, showing her a little stone figure of her and Sandstone hugging.

"I spent 2 weeks carving out all the details. All the way down to his little swirls on his horns and tail tip."

"Oh, Limestone! It's beautiful! You even got that cute little pattern he has on his scales! I think he'll love it!", Cloudy exclaimed.

"I'm here! I hope I'm not too late!", Rarity exclaimed, walking in with a hat box.

"No, you're just in time, Rarity! You can help me with these streamers!", Marble smiled.

"Excellent! I brought Sandstone a sun hat that will look simply ADORABLE on him!", Rarity said, helping Marble after she showed them her present and put it on the present table.

It was finally done when Igneous and Sandstone came home.

"Surprise!", they all shouted.

"You remembered!", Sandstone beamed.

"Well, after you told us after when we first adopted you, but hey! We would never forget afterwards! Because you're my little brother. Now are you ready to open presents?", Limestone smiled, hugging him.

"I sure am!", Sandstone exclaimed excitedly.

The first thing he got, was a leather satchel from Igneous.

"Now you can carry any special rocks you find home without any trouble!", Igneous smiled.

"Thanks, Pa!", he said.

"Here, I know your horns get cold at night, so I made these for you.", Cloudy grinned, handing him a pair of wool horn warmers.

Sandstone tried them on, they fit on snug and warm, "Wow! Thanks a lot, Ma!", he grinned.

"And for really hot days, I made you this special sun hat, just for you!", Rarity smiled, handing him the hat box, she watched him try it on and cooed, "Oh! He's so ADORABLE!"

"Thank you, Miss Rarity!", Sandstone beamed.

"Here, I painted you this picture. I know it's not really big. But I knew you'd like it. I saw one the other day, and painted a picture of it.", Marble smiled, handing him a canvas with a beautiful picture of a gray and white speckled butterfly sitting on a rock.

"A Marbled Butterfly! Wow! Thanks, Marble!"

"Here you go, Sandstone. I know you like pictures, so I got this picture of the five of us, and put it in this frame I made.", Maud grinned, handing him a granite picture frame with a picture of him, herself, Marble, Limestone, and Pinkie.

"Oh, Wow! Thank you, Maud!", Sandstone exclaimed, hugging Maud around the neck.

"Here you go, Sandy Wandy. I made these special shoes for you. Believe me when I say it hurts getting rocks between your toes!", Pinkie smiled, giving him four steel toed shoes.

"Yeah, thanks Pinkie!"

Finally, it was Limestone's turn.

I know this isn't much, but I made it myself. Just because I love you. And I wanted you to have the best birthday ever. But I failed miserably on the present.", Limestone sighed, handing him the carving.

Sandstone looked at it very closely before shouting, "I love it! Thank you, Limestone!"

"So you're not disappointed?", she asked as he started hugging her.

"No. You made this the best birthday ever! I love you, Limestone."

"I love you too, Sandstone."

"Thank you, thank you all for being my family. I love you all.", Sandstone said with a tear in his eye.

"Happy Birthday, Sandstone. We love you too."

"And then we all ate cake!", Pinkie beamed, looking at the ceiling.

(Pinkie, what did I tell you about breaking the 4th wall? It scares people. Please refrain from it unless it's absolutely necessary.)

"Sorry, DaiAtlas2016! I was just going to tell everyone what happened next, since you weren't going to!", Pinkie replied.

(I was getting there! Just give me a chance, okay?!)

"Prove it!", Pinkie yelled at the ceiling.

"Pinkie, who are you talking to?", Sandstone asked.

"Just my friend, DaiAtlas2016!", Pinkie smiled.

"Oh, okay then.", Sandstone accepted, "Hey mister! You want some cake?"

(No thanks, I'm good. Here, I have a little something for you. Happy Birthday, Sandstone.)

A fake mustache appeared next to Sandstone.

"Wow! Thanks, DaiAtlas2016!", Sandstone smiled.

(Anytime, Sandstone. NOW, Pinkie. If you WOULD shut up for a minute, I'll say it!)

AND THEY ALL HAD CAKE. EXCEPT PINKIE.

"Hey! You change that right now!", Pinkie shouted.

(Only if you promise not to call me a Sillyhead!)

"Okay, fine. I Pinkie Promise! Just please! Let me have cake!"

(Okay then...)

AND THEY ALL HAD CAKE. EVEN PINKIE.

"Now we're talking!", Pinkie smiled as she ate her cake.
