Limestone Goes to Anger Management Classes

Limestone took a train back to the rock farm. And on her way back to said farm, she thought about everything that happened back there at her class. She almost got into a fight with one of her classmates, Brick.

She REALLY messed up big time.

Granted, Brick pulling the knife on her was too far, but she realized she did start everything, and Miss Summer finished it. Now she was going to have to write an essay to a pony whom she almost got into a fight with.

This almost felt like when she was a filly, when she was home-schooled by her mother, mainly because Cloudy and Igneous couldn't afford school at the time, before they managed to enroll Maud into Geology school. And when she WAS home-schooled, her mother would give out assignments for them, so they would be educated enough to know about the outside world.

With this, however, Limestone was a fully grown mare, and was forced to do this as a punishment for starting a fight for the simple reason of being pissed off.

Right now, she wasn't pissed off, she was just frustrated.

Eventually, the train came to a stop at the station that was near her the farm. She walked over to the farm, only to notice that Pinkie Pie's wagon was outside the house.

OH NO! She was visiting again. For what, she didn't know.

Limestone didn't want to go in, because she was worried that something might escalate again like a couple nights ago. So she creeped up to the house and stared through the window.

She noticed the family was having a good time. Without her. They were smiling, laughing, and just having a good time all around. It seemed like they would probably have they're fun ruined if she came in and joined them.

It really hurt her to see this. Did they not love her anymore, because she got arrested? Were they scared of her, because of her temper? Was she really THAT bad?

A tear rolled down her eye as she saw what was going on. She wanted to be a part of that too. She wanted to have nice family meals together. She wanted to talk, laugh and have a good time with the family. She wanted, basically, to just be accepted.

It was at this point, she knew, that Miss Summer's advice was true. Being frustrated, sad and depressed, lonesome, and just wanting to be accepted, and never BEING accepted, can make a pony angry. And, maybe, this was why she was angry. Being left out. It hurt her. And, in the process, makes her angry. And when that happens, she acts out in ways, she never would have thought she would.

When she was at the class, hearing all her classmates tell their stories, she just thought they were pathetic, with just as pathetic sob stories. But know, maybe they were onto something.

She knew she had to fix this problem. She know she needed to control her anger better.

But first, she needed to apologise to her family.

So she walked up to the door and knocked on it. She heard hoof steps coming to the door. And the pony who opened the door was her mother Cloudy Quartz Pie, who happily greeted Limestone.

"Hello Limestone. Welcome back. Dinner is on the table, all nice and warm for you. Come join us." Cloudy said happily, as she escorted her daughter into the house.

Limestone walked in and headed toward the table. She sat down with every pony, including Pinkie Pie. Marble smiled, but also had a scared look on her face as well, remembering what happened a couple nights ago.

"Hi Limey, how was Anger Management?" She asked very curiosly.

Limestone figured she should tell the truth. They would know if she was lying.

"Not good. I almost got into a fight with a classmate named Brick, cause I called every pony in class an idiot, and he got offended." Limestone said looking down in the dumps.

Every pony groaned.

"Why would you refer to a foalish trait in that, Limestone? Your better than that." Igneous said.

"Cause I was angry at being in these classes when I didn't wanna be." She said. "Oh and he pulled a pocket-knife on me too. Just thought you guys should know that."

"WHAT?" Every pony explained.

"Did he hurt you?" Cloudy asked looking very concerned for her oldest daughter's well being.

"No. Silver Thriller restrained him, but now, since I started it, I have to write an "I'm sorry essay" for starting a fight for a poor reason. Lucky me, huh?" She said looking less-than-amused.

"Well, Limey, you did start it, so expect consequences. I'm sorry, but she did do this for your own good." Pinkie said sternly.

"Oh, then shouldn't YOU get a punishment to? You were the one that dumped that bowl of soup on my head, which caused me to get pissed off and break things in this house. So why aren't you punished?" Limestone asked angrily.

Marble Pie hid herself the best she could, seeing as how she knew want was going to happen next.

"I think you deserved it after you scared Marble half to death after yelling at her like you did." Pinkie argued.

"Well, she should've told me Pa told her to work on something else, instead of just dropping it all together." Limestone argued back.

Marble let out a faint, but visible, whimper. She knew this was going to be bad.

"It happens all the time Limey. Even when we were fillies, it was always like that. I thought you'd get used to it by now." Pinkie said fairly.

"Well I don't care. Next time, you TELL ME. GOT IT?" Limestone screamed.

"Yeah, try and make me." Pinkie said, not backing down.

"THAT IS ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU SIT DOWN RIGHT THIS SECOND!" Igneous' voice booked through the house.

Limestone and Pinkie looked horrified. They immediately sat down at the table.

"You two are going to settle this right now." Igneous said very loudly.

"First off, Limestone, you are the oldest of your sisters, so you should know better than to react this way to them. Like I said, your better than that. And right now, I'm very dissapointed in you." He said looking very sternly.

Limestone had her head to the ground in shame.

"And you Pinkie. You DID dump that soup on her head, which made her angry. So you did start something. Plus, you haven't worked on the farm in a while. So you don't know what all goes on on this farm now. Whether you like it or not, because she is the oldest, she will lead the farm. And if she says something, you have to honor her rules." He said very strictly to Pinkie.

"But Pa, she-" Pinkie was about to say.

"No buts Pinkie. That is final." He said.

Now Pinkie had her head down in shame.

"Now, you two are sisters and should start acting like better sisters. Look at Marble." He said pointing at his youngest daughter.

"All she wants is for every pony to get along. Can't you two just apologise and make up for her sake?" He asked.

They looked at Marble, who, while still hiding, peered out from under the table, and waved at them both.

"Pa is right." Pinkie said. "Maybe I shouldn't have dumped that bowl on your head and got you arrested. I'm sorry about that. And I'm sorry I got you tased as well. I could've handled it better. But we put you in Anger Management because you really need it Limestone. You've been an angry pony ever since we were fillies. This is to help you. And we're doing this because we love you, Limey. And I do too. Your my big sister, and you've taught me and Marble everything about cooking, rocks, and working. I appreciate all that. But these classes are a good thing." Pinkie said with a heart-warming smile on her face, showing that what she was saying was genuine.

Limestone was shocked to hear these words coming from Pinkie. But she was glad she heard them.

"I'm sorry to. I shouldn't have reacted like I did. And-" she looked over at Marble, who had come out of her hiding place "I'm sorry Marble. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It was wrong of me to do that. But Pinkie, you should know I'm passionate about what I do here. I love this farm so much. I know it gets stressful, but I still love it. So when I get angry, or upset, it's because I love this farm and my family so much. I want the best for this family. I want this farm to still be here when I'm old with grand foals. That's why I yell and scream. Because I love this farm so much." Limestone said.

"I get that, but there are better ways to handle it then with anger." Pinkie said with a smile.

"Yeah, but I don't know if I can control my anger." Limestone said, looking kinda unconfident.

"Yes you can. We all know you can do it." Pinkie said very confidently.

"How can you be sure of that, though?" Limestone asked.

"Because I Pinkie promise. And you can't break a Pinkie promise." Pinkie said very happily.

Limestone smiled with a glisten in her eyes.

"Okay. I'll keep going with it. And I'll get better." Limestone said with a bit of confidence in her.

"I knew you could do it." Pinkie said as she hugged her sister. Limestone hugged back.

Then, all of a sudden, Igneous, Cloudy, and Marble joined in the hug as well. A nice family group hug.

"Well, now that that is out of the way, let's finish dinner." Cloudy said sweetly.

And with that, every pony gathered around to eat dinner, and then called it a night.

As they ate, Limestone knew now that she needed to take these classes seriously now. She wasn't going to like writing an essay for some pony she almost got into a fight with, but it was for the best.

As she went to bed later that night, she had a slight boost of confidence, thinking that maybe she will get better with these Anger Management Classes. It would take a while, but it probably will bet better.

Honestly, she couldn't wait for next Wednesday.
