Limestone Goes to Anger Management Classes
Chapter 3: Anger Management Classes Begin Part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next day, Limestone took a train to Ponyville where the anger management classes were to take place. She SO did not want to do this, but she also didn't want to do community service OR spend any MORE time in jail. So she had no choice, and even if she did, her family would keep nagging her on and on about how she needs to control her temper.
However, Limestone didn't believe she had a temper, foolishly so. She believed that she was a tough mare who didn't take crap from anypony. No matter who it was. And she wasn't afraid to speak her mind, or get in somepony's face if they did something to either annoy her, or piss her off. That wasn't having anger management issues....right?
So eventually, Limestone came to the building where the classes were going to take place. It was a rather small building. Kinda old, but not too old. On the inside it looked fairly decent. No stripping of wallpaper, no holes in the wall, or anything signifying it needed a remodel. But Limestone knew it was old just by looking at it. She knew this because of the antiques her mother had on the farm, some she might have broken after her little outburst. It was a pretty okay place to hold classes, although she would've preferred something a little bigger.
She walked into the room where the classes were and saw the other ponies who were going to take part in this class.
One was an earth-pony stallion who was rather muscular and well-built. Around his late twenties. He was about 6'7, 310 lbs. He had a pitch black coat with a spiky silver mane and tail, and had an open book with a pen writing in it as a cutie mark. He actually had a notebook and pen on him and was writing in it. What could he be writing?
Another was a pegasus mare who had a slim and curvy body. She looked like she just graduated high school. She looked very attractive. She was 5'9, 207 lbs. She had a brown coat with a reddish pink mane and tail that was stylized to look "fabulous". She had a dress making cutie mark. She was currently on her phone doing whatever anypony with a phone does.
Also, we had an earth-pony mare who was somewhat over-weight and chubby. She was around her forties. She was about 6'1, 268 lbs. She had a brown mane and tail that looked like she needed a mane-cut, while having a light teal coat. She had a computer cutie mark. She was reading a book
Next, there was a unicorn stallion who was kinda skinny and looked like he never lifted weights or ate a whole lot. He also looked like he was in his early twenties. About 6'4, 195 lbs. He had a tan coat with a blond mane and tail. His cutie mark was a song note. He also had glasses on. He was listening to music on his phone.
Lastly, there was a pegasus stallion, who looked like he was still in high school. 6'2, 215 lbs. He was probably 18 or at least turning 18 in a little bit. He had a leather jacket on. And a face that said "Who the f are you looking at" to any authoritative figure. Looked like he didn't want to be there, like Limestone. He had a blood red coat with a black mane with tints of light red in it, and a black tail. His cutie mark was a Greek drama mask. He was just sitting there hunched over in a chair, waiting for Summer to arrive and get these classes over with.
So Limestone walked in, and sat at the only chair that was available. That chair was next to the muscular stallion. She didn't say anything and neither did he. No pony did for a couple more minutes until finally Summer arrived in the room to begin the session with everypony. She sat down in the chair facing everypony and greeted them.
"Hello everypony. My name is Summer. Welcome to Anger Management. I'm here today because you all struggle with controlling your anger. And that is why I'm here to help." She said very enthusiastic.
Limestone then raised her hoof.
"Yes?" Summer asked.
Limestone put her hoof down and said "I don't have anger problems okay. I'm just being forced into this. I just react when somepony gets me annoyed. I am perfectly calm." She said looking rather annoyed.
"That's great. So let's begin with a role-call." That irked Limestone a little bit. She just ignored what she said about her NOT having anger problems. "I want all of you to tell me your name, your birthday, and something about yourself. Let's go clockwise." She then looked to her left and sitting next to her was the chubby mare. "You go first. Hello, as I said, my name is Summer and you are?" She said with a smile on her face.
The chubby mare, with kind of a depressed look on her face, stood up and said "My name is Hard Drive. My birthday is May 19th. And I work as a health IT specialist."
Everypony noticed she looked kinda sad saying what she said.
"Okay. It's nice to meet you Hard Drive. Please take your seat." Hard Drive then sat down. "Okay, you next." She said to the pony next to Hard Drive, which was the skinny stallion. He looked rather timid and shy when he stood up.
"Um, hi everypony. My name is Bass Clef, my birthday is November 2nd, and I'm in a choir group in Madneighson." He said kinda quietly, but loud enough for everypony to hear.
"Nice to meet you Bass. I love choir concerts. I go to all of my daughter Autumn's concerts. Maybe if I hear about one of yours coming to town, I'll check it out." She said with a smile on her face.
Bass smiled as well and then sat down. He was glad to get a compliment from somepony about his choir work.
The next one to stand up was the slim and curvy mare. She looked very calm and was smiling. She looked like she was in a good mood. Why was she here then if she looked happy? If she was mad, what kinds of things would happen?
"Hello everypony, my name's Jem Bedazzle, my birthday is January 14th, and I am a huge fan of Miss Rarity. She is my idol. I want to open up my own fashion store one day and sell and make dresses just like her." She said with excitement in her eye.
"That's quite a big goal you have for yourself. I hope you accomplish your dream one day." Summer said supportively.
"Oh thank you. That means a lot." She said as she sat down with a smile on her face.
The next one was the pony with the leather jacket. He looked kinda smug and, frankly, kinda arrogant. Like he thought he was the coolest pony in the world. There was just this air about him that made him look a bit unlikable.
"Sup, I'm Brick, my birthdays March 8th, and what I like is YOU, Summer." He said with an arrogant smile on his face looking at her. He just hit on his anger management teacher.
She had an annoyed look on her face. Oh great, it's one of THOSE students.
"It's nice to meet you Brick, but please keep your flirting to yourself. We need to be professional here." Summer said very sternly.
Brick just smiled all cocky like, sat down and said "Okay, whatever you say pretty lady." Again very arrogant-like. He also winked at her, flirtatious like. Summer, again, just looked annoyed that she was hit on by a high school student.
Next up was the muscular stallion. He looked pretty intense. Like he was about to give a big speech that he wrote for months and when the time came for him to speak, he would get nervous and you could easily see it.
"Hello everypony, I'm Silver Thriller, my birthday's July 19th and I like to write stories. I've always wanted to write my own stories ever since I was a kid, but I've been having a bad case of writer's block for a while now." He said. His voice was a little loud and, like his body language, pretty intense. Now this looked like a guy that you didn't want to piss off. By any means.
"Nice to meet you Silver. I'm sure you'll definitely get an idea sooner or later." She said attempting to give him a boost of confidence.
"Well I hope I do." He said as he sat back down. He kinda looked like he was a little to hard on himself. Maybe that's the reason why he looks so intense.
Limestone was up next.
"Your looking at Limestone Pie, my birthday is August 10th, and I like to run my rock farm. Which is something I'm not doing right now because I'm here being forced to take this class." She said very grumpy like.
"So your Limestone Pie. Its nice to finally meet you." Summer said nicely.
"Yeah. My family said your the one who suggested I go to anger management classes after my idiot sister got me arrested. Your the one who opened her big mouth." Limestone said very rudely.
"Well yes I did, but I did it for a good cause." She said trying to make a case for herself.
"Yeah, well you still did this and now I'm stuck doing this for a while now. So thanks Summer. Thank you so much." Limestone said very sarcastically. She then sat down with a scowl on her face.
Summer realized this maybe harder than she thought. She went back to her seat in front of everypony.
"Well now that we all know a little bit about each other, why don't we start talking about what makes us angry." Summer said. "I want all of you to know that sharing is very helpful for somepony. Not only to help get some things off their chest, but because it relives stress and anxiety when you feel like your bottling things up. So I want all of you to tell me, as well as everypony here, what is it that makes you angry." Summer said as she got out a clipboard with a few pieces of paper on it. She also brought out a pen.
"Now who would like to go first?" Summer asked.
Now this didn't make Limestone happy at all. She was a tough mare who never talked about her feelings. She didn't need to. She could easily just brush them off no problem. She didn't need this...Right?
She just knew this was going to be torture for a long time.
