Every day was the same, until it wasn't.

One day, Limestone was working at the farm she would one day inherit. The next, she was helping mine centuries-old ore with centuries-old ponies in a centuries-old kingdom.

Thanks Pinkie.

Thanks to Riley for editing!

To find Marble, Limestone has to look through the cracks.

Being a rock farmer is simple. You just have to move and break rocks. Couldn't be any more complicated than that. Someday Limestone Pie is going to be as good at it as Papa! Absolutely nothing can threaten this.

Nothing, that is, except Great Uncle Holder Cobblestone and his stupid boulder.

A cutie mark story for everyone's favorite grouchy pony.

Slightly AU because I altered the history of the Pie Farm a bit, but I was convinced by one of my pre-readers that the AU tag wasn't warranted. We shall see!

All my thanks go to NumberFifth and Serketry for their pre-reading, editing, and plot suggestions. Seriously, it helped a lot.

Troubleshoes has never really been the luckiest pony in Equestria.

Yet when he catches the eye of two Pie Sister's, he'll soon find out more than luck will be necessary to survive sibling rivalry.

Limestone, Maud, and Marble Pie are sisters. Everypony knows that. What catches ponies off guard, however, is the fact that bouncy, loud, and boisterous Pinkie is also a Pie sister. But appearances can be deceiving, and sometimes, family bonds run deeper than first impressions can allow.

'Twas the night before Hearthswarming,
When all through the house,
Two creatures were stirring - neither a mouse.

As the Pies settle into the Apple family home for Hearthswarming, there are two ponies who cannot share in the joy and contentment of time spent with relations.

Contains minor spoilers for series 9, episode 0 The Best Gift Ever.

Marble's life on the farm is simple and idyllic. She helps out Pa and Limestone, and in her spare time carves and sculpts rocks. She has it pretty great, she thinks. It cannot last.
Pa thinks it's high time she get married and settle down to focus on more important things, like family, and work. He doesn't see her sculptures as a way to make a living, and insists she visit the Pairing Stone for a match.
Reluctantly, she agrees.
She meets her suitors, but the Pairing Stone says all three of them are a good match. Marble thinks they're all equally unsuited. She refuses to marry any of them, and will go to great lengths to keep her freedom.

Pinkie has one month to throw a party that's out of this world. Which is exactly where she'll receive the training she needs.

Can she brave the trials of artistic integrity, heavy rainfall, an actual literal gun, and thinking too hard about why she went to Equestria in the first place?
