>Mares shake their heads as they silently watch as a fuming Limestone leads Anon back home
>Limestone's left eye is twitching (daring anypony to gaze into it) and her snarl would make a manticore think twice before trying to eat her
>Her herdmates - her own sisters, but that isn't TOO odd for earth ponies - walk behind her and Anon at a more sedate pace, clearly hesitating to follow her
>Their ears are flopped down and their heads are lowered
>They cast anxious glances at Limestone, but quickly avert their eyes back down to the ground as they walk, dragging their hooves
>That poor, poor Anon
>The mares can tell that Anon's going to fall down some stairs and into a door knob as soon as he gets home.
>They can only hope that his other herdmates will be able to control Limestone and keep things from getting too out of hoof.

>Meanwhile, back at the Anon house, things are a flurry of activity
>Pinkie, Maud, and Marble Pie all bolt like startled herd animals as soon as the front door closes
>One runs into the kitchen (to hide under the sink like she usually does)
>The other two run upstairs (one will hide under their large bed, and the other will find the laundry basket and jump inside, covering themselves with Anon's dirty clothes)
>Limestone collapses and lets out a long-suffering groan.
>"Those bucking mares..."
>Anon picks her up and hugs her boneless frame close to him, humming sympathetically
>He sits down on the floor and leans back against the wall, allowing his alpha mare to sprawl out against his chest and stretch her limbs out
>"I'm going to bucking kill them someday, Anon..." she murmurs, nuzzling his cheek
>Anon scratches Limestone behind the ears and feels a shiver run through her body.
>"M-Maybe later, though..."
>Limestone rests her muzzle against the crook of his neck, and all is well.
>His herdmates will come out of hiding in time for dinner, and Limestone will soon be back to her usual cheery self.
