Limestone Goes to Anger Management Classes

Limestone was getting ready for another week of Anger Management classes. As she waited at the train station for the next train, she thought about last week, and how she had a good interaction with Hard Drive. They talked all the way until Limestone's stop. She actually had a good time talking with her. Hard Drive actually was very nice to her. There was a part of her that wanted to talk to and get to know all of her class mates. But she was a bit skeptical.

Why is that?

Well, growing up on a rock farm in the middle of nowhere, and being home-schooled her whole life, she never had any interaction with ponies outside her sisters and her parents. The only other exception was the Apple family when they came to visit for Hearth's Warming one year, but that was only a one time deal. So this was a whole different thing.

However, she also understood that she would have to interact with her classmates during classes. So it would probably be a good idea to maybe get to know them a little but.

Finally, the train came to it's stop. Limestone got on, and off she went to her destination.

******************************************************************************************************

The train finally made it's stop to the classes. She got off the train, ready for another day of learning how to control her anger.

However, as she made her way into the building, she noticed something peculiar.

Jem Bedazzle and Bass Clef were hugging. Eventually, Jem stopped the hugging, and went to take her seat. She looked extremely excited about something. But Limestone had no idea what it was.

She also saw Bass's face turning red. He was blushing like crazy. He apparently liked the hug Jem gave him. Limestone saw this and decided to go up to him.

"So what was that about?" Limestone asked. Bass jumped a little bit when she asked this. He looked a little embarrassed.

"Uhhh, nothing. Nothing at all." He said looking like nothing happened, even though it did.

Limestone then got an idea. She would fuck with him a little bit about this. "I don't know Bass. That didn't look like "nothing". I think you've got a little crush on Jem. I can see it in your face." She said as she had her trademark snarky smile on her face.

This caused Bass to blush even more. "N-nnnn--nnn-No, she just got excited about the fact that I offered her a job to make some outfits for the next big musical in my choir group: Phantom of the Opera. And I just got a little surprised is all." Bass said as he calmed down a little bit.

"Well that was nice of you. Good of you to offer her something when she's been turned down all this time. Maybe you did this to spend a lot of time with her. Get to know her. Maybe ask her out on a date?" Limestone said with some teasing n her voice.

Again, Bass blushed again. "A-a-a-a-Ask her out? I can't do that. She wouldn't go for a guy like me. She's way to pretty for a nerd like me." Bass said with his head down.

"Hey, you never know unless you try. But you do realize now you just said you have a crush on her?" She asked.

"What, no I didn't." Bass said defensively.

"Then why did you call her pretty? And that she wouldn't go for a nerd like you?" Limestone cooed teasingly.

Bass realized he DID just say that and hung his head down in embarrassment. It was true. He has a crush on Jem.

"And judging by the fact that you said that, it sounds like you aren't that confident about yourself, are you?" Limestone asked.

"Not really. I mean, I always lose a bigger part to my brother. How can this be any different? She'd probably go for Silver. I mean look at the guy. He's jacked as shit. I'd be scared to approach that guy." Bass said.

Limestone then got an idea in her head. She remembered something Jem said in their first day of class. And she also remembered one of the friends Pinkie has that she talks about a lot. Well, to be fair, she talks about all her friends a lot, but you get the idea.

"Well, don't worry about it. I'm sure everything will be fine. Let's head in." Limestone said as she walked into class. Bass soon followed behind her, still with his head down in shame. Limestone felt bad for this stallion. He really had some confidence issues. He just needed some inspiration.

As she walked into class, she was greeted by Hard Drive at the door to the classes.

"Well, Hello Limestone. How was your night last night?" She asked her.

"It was alright I guess. How'd you and your daughter do?" Limestone asked her.

"Well, it's taking some time for us to get back to normal, but we are making progress. I just hope she forgives me all together." Hard Drive said looking worried.

"I'm sure it will." Limestone said to her.

"Well thank you Limestone. Hey, I gotta ask you something?"

"What?"

"How would you like to borrow my book "The Night Listener"?"

"Wait, really? Your serious?"

"Of course. You seemed interested in it last week. I finished it. So I thought maybe you'd like to read it."

"Why would you do that?" Limestone askd this very curiously.

"It's what friends do. We are friends aren't we?" Hard Drive also asked curiously.

Limestone was silent for a little bit. She didn't really know what friends were. She never had friends, outside her sisters. She was a little hesitant, but saw that she was genuine. So she accepted her offer.

"Sure, thanks." Limestone said as she took the book from Hard Drive's hoof.

"No problem." Hard Drive said as she smiled and went back to her seat.

Limestone couldn't believe how nice this mare was. She also couldn't believe how her ex-husband, the cheating bastard that he is, would betray somepony like her.

Then another idea hit her head. Her father and mother met because of the Choosing Stone. She also knew that she, along with her sisters, would use it one day to find their future soulmate. However, her father never said it was ONLY family. So could that mean non- family members could use it? Could be possible.

Another thing she noticed was Brick and Silver talking. They seemed to be having a pretty good conversation. She walked up to them. Silver noticed this and approached her.

"Hey Limestone, could we talk in private for a bit?" Silver asked, looking very serious. Like he had been wanting to tell this to her for a while now.

Limestone noticed this and, while slightly intimidated by his physical features, she still looked pretty calm talking to him.

"Uh, sure." Limestone answered him. Her and Silver then walked outside the room to talk. They were alone.

"So what's on your mind?" Limestone asked him.

Silver looked pretty serious about this. "Alright, here's the situation Limestone. I'm starting to write a story. Me and Brick are working on a play he's going to be involved in. And I think I've got something. But I need somepony to critique me. I've written a little bit so far, but I feel since your so honest, maybe you could read what I've done so far and give me some constructive criticism."

Limestone looked confused about this. "Me? Why me?" She asked him.

"Like I said. Your an honest mare. You'll tell somepony what you think, whether it's good or not. And I like that. I appreciate constructive criticism. And I think your the best at it. So please can you do this for me?" Silver asked with a small smile on his face.

Limestone looked at this stallion with confusion. He came across as a guy who looked like he was hard on himself and was taking what he was doing incredibly serious. Kinda like how Limestone was on her rock farm. She took what she did incredibly serious and not only was critical of her sisters, but critical of herself for not getting a job done quicker or better. She knew where he was coming from.

"Okay, sure. I can do that." Limestone answered him.

Silver smiled hugely now. "Great. Thank you so much. This is why I like you." He said. And then as soon as he said that he blushed.

Limestone looks confuse again. "You like me? What?" She asked having a WTF look on her face.

"Uh, well just as a friend. I like you as a friend." He said sheepisly rubbing his hoof.

Limestone had an eyebrow raised.

"Um, okay I'm gonna go back to my seat." Silver said backing away slowly. And as he was backing away, he said in his mind "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID", thinking about how he made himself look like a fool in front of a mare that, while he would dent in front of everypony, looked very attractive. As he took his seat, Brick looked at him with a teasing look on his face.

"Not one word." Silver said. Brick didn't say a word to Silver. But he was thinking it. Then Limestone came back to her seat. She was looking at Silver, still with a confused look on her face. Silver avoided eye contact with her. Limestone didn't know what to think.

"So, Brick, you and Silver are working on a play, huh?" She asked him.

"Yeah, we're just having trouble coming up with a story. Although, I know this guy can come up with something great. And I can act so awesome. I guarantee you, if you saw our play, you would think I'm unrecognizable. Like I become somepony else." Brick said very confidently. This caused Limestone to smirk.

"Okay. I'll hold you to it. I'm gonna read this script, and critique it, and then, once you get the play all ready to go, I'll see it. And I'll see if you can make me think your "unrecognizable" " Limestone said.

"Oh, is that a bet? Because if it is, you are so on." Brick said as he extended his hoof to her, signaling her to shake on it.

"You bet it is." Limestone took the hoof in her hoof and shook it, signaling the bet was intact.

Then Summer came into class, ready to begin her session.
