Marble Pie comes to realise that meeting hitherto unknown family is merely awkward; subsequently developing feelings for your distant cousin is much, much worse.
The Iron Pony competition. A festival. Hard cider.
For Marble Pie, all of them are foreign, as strange as towns with houses built into trees or shaped like giant candy.
When her parents finally decided to go visit her eldest sister, she wasn't prepared for the fesitivities going on in Ponyville. And when she met her cousin Applejack? Well... she wasn't prepared for the feelings that surfaced either.
Many thanks to Karrakaz for prereading and idea storming.
