Everypony has a limit. No matter how calm and collected they may be, everypony has a limit. Even Cheese Sandwich has a limit...
It had been a week after his first day at the new school. Cheese woke up and went to school just like every other day so far. The event took place during lunch.
He was in the lunch line, and Amethyst Star was bullying him yet again. She was using all the insults she usually did, until she said the wrong thing.
"I bet being a loser runs in your family!" Amethyst sneered. Cheese looked up immediately. "I bet you get it from your loser dad!" Cheese glared at her, his face turning into pure anger and hatred.
"How dare you talk about my dad that way!" He yelled. The class jumped, not expecting him to lash out like that. "My dad is a hero! He's the bravest, most amazing pony I've ever known!!" Cheese sized up to Amethyst and growled. "He fought for Equestria, and you have the nerve to call him a loser?!"
"Get off of me, punk!!" Amethyst swung her hoof at him and he was sent to the floor. The crowd gasped, and Cheese slowly stood, trembling fiercely. His nose felt like it was on fire, and he rubbed it only to discover that blood was trickling down his muzzle. Cheese stumbled back and looked at the pony who had struck him, only to see a huge grin on her face.
He snapped.
Cheese swung his arm out, and struck her right back. The kids and teachers alike fell into a silence as Amethyst shakily looked at Cheese.
"Big. Mistake." She said as she stood, looking down on him. "If you ever show your face in this school again, I'll bring you to the ground!"
Cheese Sandwich trembled and galloped out of the school, terrified. He didn't want to get beat up...he hated getting hurt...Cheese dashed to his house, and snuck through the window, beginning to gather his things.
"I'm sorry, mom..." He whispered. "I'm no hero...I'm leaving forever...I need a new start..." After getting his stuff, he lugged it onto his back and began walking off to...nowhere in particular. "I'm such a wimp..." He told himself. Cheese looked into the sky, observing the clouds. "I'm sorry, dad...I'll never make you proud." Hanging his head, he walked slowly and sadly.
Suddenly, he spotted something from the corner of his eye. It was a balloon...
Cheese tilted his head. "Where do they keep coming from?" He asked himself, admiring the balloon as it floated forever upwards. He smiled slightly as he watched it go.
