Limestone Goes to Anger Management Classes
Prologue: Pushed Over The Edge
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was a calm and cool night in Equestria. A very peaceful night. A very beautiful night. A night where Princess Luna really outdid herself. There were ponies out star-gazing, catching lightning bugs, having bonfires, and some sleeping peacefully in their beds. It seemed like this was a perfect night. Where absolutely nothing bad could happen to anypony.
Well, unfortunately, that really wasn't the case here.
Somewhere on the far outreaches of Ponyville lived a rock farm owned by the Pie family. They comprised of the parents, who came from Amish descent, with the father, who had an Amber coat with a light-grey mane and a pickaxe for a cutie mark, named Igneous Rock Pie, and the mother, who had a greyish-opal mane with a light bluish-grey coat with three pebbles for a cutie mark named Cloudy Quartz Pie. These two were the owners of the rock farm and had been for many years. And during said many years, they had four daughters.
The oldest one was named Limestone Pie, who had a grey mane with a bluish-grey coat and a lime with two stones underneath it as a cutie mark. Now with her being the oldest, she was given full rights of ownership to the rock farm when Igneous and Cloudy would pass. It was tradition to have the oldest carry on the family legacy. Now Limestone, while she was a really tough mare who worked her flank off for the rock farm's benefit, that didn't mean she was the nicest mare of all time. Limestone was always in a foul mood who would yell at other ponies, scream her head off, especially when some pony would touch or even get near the rock farm's prized possesion, a boulder that stood near the rock farm's home, which was named Houlder's Boulder,and would order her younger sisters around the farm, simply because she was the oldest. While she did love her sisters, she sure did have a funny way of showing it.
The second oldest was named Maud Pie, who had a violet mane with a grey coat and a diamond shaped rock as a cutie mark, and wore purple eyeshadow. Even though she was younger than Limestone, she was always the calm and collected one. Although, she was also a deadpanned mare, who never showed any emotion, except during rare times. When it came to rocks, Maud was easily the most knowledgeable about them. She could identify any rock just by looking at it. She also was the first Pie family member, since her great-great uncle Onyx Pie, to get a rockderate in rock science, or geology as it was technically called.
The last two born were twin sisters. One was perhaps the most known Pie in all of Equestria. A pink coated, pink frizzy maned, with party balloons as a cutie mark named Pinkamena Diane Pie, or as she preferred to be called, Pinkie Pie. She was easily the most outgoing of all her sisters. She was always smiling, bouncing, laughing, and just happy period. She didn't live on the rock farm anymore, because she now worked in Ponyville at a bake shop named Sugercube Corner. She threw parties for a living, mainly because it was her special talent. But she still visited her growing up home almost all the time when she wasn't working. So she still managed to keep in touch with her family.
Finally, the youngest Pie, because she came out after Pinkie, was a light grey coated dark gray maned with three marbles as a cutie mark named Marble Pie. She was the exact opposite of Pinkie Pie. Meaning that she was shy, soft-spoken, not really into meeting new ponies, and would normally let Pinkie, and her older sisters speak for her. And when she DID speak for herself, she usually just said "Mm...hmm." So the Pie family was a pretty big family, but they were a happy family, who would never do anything to harm any pony, let alone there own family members.
That is, until this might happened.
On this night, Pinkie Pie was visiting her family. And after a really hard day's work in the fields and mines, they were sitting at the dinner table, having all types of rock-based foods. Like rock soup, rock sandwiches, and just rocks period. Limestone, however, was the most exhausted out of all of them. She still had a few more things to do on the farm, before she could come to dinner. She really worked up a sweat out there today. Now she was ready for a meal, and to get some sleep.
However, with Pinkie being there, you had to know something was going to happen. Whether good or bad, things always happened when she was around. And this was a situation where something BAD was going to happen.
"You always make the best rock soup Ma." Pinkie exclaimed, as she gulped it down in one swoop.
"Why thank you Pinkamena. Again, it is very nice to have you here with us. Thank you for the visit." Cloydy said sweetly.
Pinkie blushed and said "Ah, shucks. It's nothing, Momma."
"It really is good to have a nice family dinner. Right Marble?" Maud Pie said.
"Mm...hmm." Marble said as she ate her soup.
It was a very nice family dinner so far. Every pony looked happy and was having a good time.
But then, Limestone came in after having to do some extra work. She came in all grumpy like, as she often does, and sat at the dinner table.
"Alright, where's my rock soup?" Limestone Pie said in a really rude way.
"It's coming sweetie. Just be patient." Cloudy said.
"Don't tell me what to do. I've worked my flank off today, even more so than these three have." Limestone said reverting to her three younger sisters. She was starting to get angry.
Her three sisters were used to this kind of treatment from Limestone. Pinkie just rolled her eyes at her sisters comment, Maud just had her deadpan expression on her face, and Marble had a really hurt look on her face. She worked hard today too.
"All I want is my rock soup, then to just go to bed. So hurry up." Limestone demanded, getting even more angry.
"Jeez, your even more Captain Grumpy now then you were this morning." Pinkie said.
"SHUT UP PINKIE! I don't wanna hear from your annoying self." Limestone screamed.
This made Pinkie back up a little bit.
Maud then stood up and said "Limestone, calm down. I know it's been a rough day, but that doesn't mean you can take out your frustrations out on your family."
"I don't wanna hear from you either Maud. You don't have any emotions or feelings, so why should I take anything you say seriously? You loser." Limestone said angrily. Her rage was really building up.
Then she looked across to her youngest sister Marble, who was cowering in fear of her big sister.
"And you, where the heck were you when I told you to follow me to the mines this morning? I had to collect all the jewels myself. Do you know how exhausting it was, huh?" Limestone said loudly in front of Marble.
Marvel's eyes were tearing up in fear as she stuttered "PA told me to work on something else. He thought you could handle it by yourself."
Then she turned her head towards Igneous with a really sour look on her face.
"Why did you do that? Do you know how hard it was? HUH?" She asked in an angry way.
"It may have been, but you got it done. That's what matters. Now try to cool off. Your scaring your little sister." Igneous said.
"I don't care if I'm scaring any pony. When I say do something, you DO IT." She screamed in front of her father.
Then her mother, who was stirring the rock soup, stopped and said "Limestone, that's enough. You apologize to your father and little sister right this second. I will not tolerate this foolish behavior from you."
"FOALISH! YOU THINK IM FOALISH! Foalish for working my flank off for the whole day, and this is the thanks I get. I get called FOALISH?" Limestone said, at this point just screaming her head off at her mother.
"Foalish for screaming about something that is done and over with. Now I appreciate you working in the way that you did today. You really worked hard. But so did your sisters. They worked just as hard as you did, and they want to relax and have a nice dinner too. And if you keep up this foolish behavior you won't get any dinner." Cloudy said sternly.
"No! I will get dinner, and you better hurry up, before I blow a freaking gasket." Limestone said somewhat threatening her mother.
"Will you just sit down and calm down?" Pinkie said. "Seriously, your acting like a psycho."
"I am not a psycho. I just want my soup." Limestone said loudly.
Then Pinkie just got really tired and said "You want soup, here's your soup." And she dumped her soup on Limestone's head.
Then time froze in that short two minutes as Limestone stood there with a soup bowl on her head with soup all over face and mane, dripping down to the floor.
Igneous and Cloudy looked at Pinkie sternly, but we're worried about what was going to transpire.
Oh, and something did transpire alright.
************************************************************************************************************
"LET GO OF ME! LET GO OF ME!" Limestone screamed as she was being carted off by the police. YES! Limestone was being arrested. For what?
Well after Pinkie dumped the soul bowl on Limestone's head, basically, Limestone did what she threatened her mother if she didn't get her rock soup. She blew a freaking gasket.
And the remains of the gasket blowing were not all that good. Windows were broken, furniture was thrown over, the dinner table was smashed, and Marble Pie was beyond scared half to death. She had never seen her big sister lose it like that before. Igneous was the one who called the police. Things just got out of hoof. He could have handled it, but Limestone was a big and strong mare, who could probably take Igneous in a fight. So he called the police, and he was now seeing his oldest daughter being arrested. How sad this was.
"YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THIS PINKIE. YOU JUST WAIT TILL I GET OUT. IM GONNA FREAKING KILL YOU." Limestone screamed as she was now put in the police car. "YOU--" Then the car door was shut as she said the B word to Pinkie. Then the police car drove off. Limestone was going to spend a night in jail.
"I should've just given her her soup." Cloudy said as she had her head down in shame.
"You did the right thing. You needed to tell Limestone what she was doing wasn't right. However, you Pinkie shouldn't have dumped that soup bowl on her head." Igneous said.
"She deserved it. She wanted soup so bad, I gave it to her. I don't care what she says to me, but no pony makes Marble cry. NO PONY. So yeah I dumped it on her, but she had it coming." Pinkie said angrily defending her actions.
"You could've handled it differently Pinkamena." Igneous said sternly. "This whole situation should have been avoided. I really didn't want to do this, but I had to."
"Yeah, and you did the right thing. She needs to spend a night in jail. Gives her time to think about what she did." Pinkie said.
"Let's just go back inside, and finish dinner. We will think about what to do with Limestone in the morning." Igneous said.
They then went back inside, and finished dinner, then went to bed.
What happened tonight was still on their minds. They knew Limestone was a hot head, but they didn't think she would go this far. Let alone take it out on her own family. Her anger really went over the edge tonight. She needed to learn how to control her anger. She needed this for the future, because what if she had kids and was married and did something similar to them.
But how could they do it? How could they find a way for Limestone to try and control her temper?
They would have to figure something out in the morning, or else bad things would continue to happen like they did tonight.
