Help from a Sister

*The Next Day*

"We have arrived in Ponyville everypony. Be sure to grab your belongings before you leave, and enjoy your trip."

The sound over the intercom awoke Marble. She slept like a rock on the train. *Pun Intended BTW*. She then, groggily, got up, and got off the train.

When she took her first steps off the train she immediately thought "Wow. This place is beautiful. No wonder Pinkie left the farm to come here when she did."

She then started to walk away from the Ponyville train station and into town. She saw a few townfolk, one being a mint green unicorn mare with a harp for a cutie mark, and a cream colored earth pony mare with two pieces of bon-bons for a cutie mark, wave to her, but, not that she wanted to seem rude, she started to walk faster and not acknowledge anypony.

"Well that pony sure is in a hurry." The mint green mare said.

"Yeah, and she didn't wave to us. Rude much." The cream colored mare said.

Marble Pie then continued walking towards town, when she realized something. She knew nothing about the town, the locations, or the ponies in it. So she was a little hesitant, but then she decided to ask where the bakery shop that Pinkie was at, and what the name of it is. She then noticed a small flower stand with a yellow coated, red maned made with a rose for a cutie mark. So she went over to the flower stand.

"Hello, my name's Roseluck. See anything you like?"

Marble said "Actually I'm looking for a bakery shop here. I don't know the name of it, but there's a mare who works there named Pinkie Pie, and I need to see her right now. Would you please point it out for me Miss Rose luck?"

"Sure, it's actually a few blocks from here, and it's called Sugarcube Corner."

"Thank you so much Miss Roseluck."

"No problem. Hey, by the way, I've never seen you around here before, and you already know Pinkie Pie. What's your name?"

Marble didn't want to give her name out, but she knew she couldn't just run off, because Roseluck might chase after her into town, and cause a big scene. So she said "I'm Pinkie Pie's sister, Marble Pie."

"You're Pinkie Pie's sister? No way! Well let me tell you Marble, your sister is one fun mare. I love her parties. I'm sure she'll be glad to see you."

"Yeah. We haven't seen each other in years, so I can't wait to see her too."

"Well, make sure to tell her I said hi, okay?"

"I will. I promise. Well I have to go now, but it was nice talking to you Miss Roseluck."

"No problem, and you can just call me Roseluck."

"Okay see ya."

"Later."

Then Marble Pie continued to walk down the streets of Ponyville, seeing a lot of friendly faces, or so it seems, around the town, until she finally saw it. A bakery shop with a big sign that read "SugarCube Corner."

Marble was a little nervous, seeing as how this was the first time in a long time that she was going to see her sister Pinkie. She hadn't seen, heard, or talked to Pinkie in about 4 years. Then, she walked inside. The smell and arouma of sweets and sugary treats filled her nostril. The smell was amazing. She thought this smell smelled just like how her mother used to bake. Then she went up to the counter and rang the bell with a *ding*ding*.

"Coming" a cheerfull voice said out loud. Marble knew that voice for sure. Then, a minute later, a pink made with a dark pink, frizzled up mane showed up at the counter.

"So what can I do for..." Then she saw who it was and let out a big *GASP*

"Marble?" Pinkie Pie cried.

"Hey Pinkie, how are..." But before she could finish her sentence, Pinkie darted from the counter towards Marble, and gave her the biggest hug imaginable.

"Ohhh, I'm so happy to see you again. So how's life been in Manehatten so far?"

Marble paused first until she said "That's actually the reason why I came here Pinkie. I have something I need to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

Before Marble spoke, they were interrupted by a short blue coated pink maned earth pony when she said "Pinkie, is everything alright out here? I heard another voice."

Pinkie beamed and said "Hi Mrs. Cake. I want to introduce you to my little triplet sister, Marble Pie. Marble, this is my boss Mrs. Cake."

Marble and Cup Cake shook Hoove's and said there Hello's to each other.

"So your one of Pinkie's sister's huh? We met one of her sisters Maud about 4 months ago. Its very nice to meet another one of Pinkie's family."

"And it's nice to meet my sister's boss. I can tell Pinkie works hard, and loves her job here."

"Oh, she does. She's one of the best bakers I've ever seen. Well, it was nice to meet you Marble. I'll give you and Pinkie some time to catch up."

"Thanks. See ya Mrs. Cake."

After Mrs. Cake left, Marble said "Pinkie, can we please talk somewhere in privacy please?"

"Sure. We can go upstairs to my room."

"Okay, let's go."

So they both went up to Pinkie's room. Then when Pinkie opened up her door, she couldn't believe it. Her room looked nothing like their room on the rock farm. She was happy for her, but she couldn't help but wish she had a nice room like this. Even with the house she lived in with Weight Crusher couldn't compare to Pinkie's room.

"So, what did you wanna talk about Marble?"

Marble then knew that it was time to tell the story.

So she started of by saying "Okay Pinkie, before I tell you this, remember back on the rock farm when you and I would keep secrets with each other, and keep them from Limestone and Maud?"

"Yeah, that's when I developed the Pinkie Promise"

"Yeah, well what I'm about to tell you is something you absolutely cannot tell anypony. Not Mom, not Dad, not Limestone, not Maud, not anypony. Understand? You must keep this to yourself."

"I cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye, I will not tell anypony. I Pinkie promise."

"Okay good. Pinkie, I didn't just come to Ponyville to visit you. I.....kinda.....sorta....ran away."

Pinkie Pie then had a concerned look on her face. She said "Why would you do that?"

"I met a stallion there, when I moved to Manehatten."

"That's great, but why would you leave him?"

"Because, he changed. I thought he was a nice, kindhearted stallion, but he wasn't. He was controlling, temperamental, and..."

"And what?" Pinkie said, getting very serious.

"He.......hit me.....a lot."

There was silence for about a minute. Pinkie couldn't believe her ears. She was found some pony, and they turned out to be, as she would put it, a big meanie-pants.

Then Marble finally said "After all that, I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to leave. I came here, because I figured you could give me a place to stay, and a job here. I know it's so sudden, but, Pinkie, I really need this. Can you please help me?"

Pinkie, after hearing everything that Marble had just said, told her "Marble, this is serious. Whoever this stallion is, he needs to go to jail for what he's done to you. We have to tell somepony about this." She exclaimed.

"Pinkie, No! We are not saying anything. You just promised me you wouldn't tell anypony. Including Mom and Dad. You have to promise me you won't tell them. Pinkie, your the only option I had. I couldn't go to them, because I knew they would automatically try to do something irrational."

Pinkie cried "Irrational? Marble, this guy abused you. He deserves to go to prison."

Marble then said "Pinkie, Weight Crusher is dangerous, okay? He will kill me if you told anypony. You hear me? KILL ME! I'm safer here, I have you, and, if you can, I can get some decent money and a roof over my head. Also, he is a kind of guy who will do absolutely ANYTHING to get information out of someone. He's probably out looking for me right now. He would look anywhere for me. Please Pinkie. Promise me you won't tell anypony, and keep this between you and me?"

"Marble, but..."

"Pinkie, please. Just don't tell anypony. Okay? Do you Pinkie Promise?"

Pinkie was about to say no, but then she realized two things. One, she already did promise, and two, whoever this Weight Crusher was, from what Marble said, he must be bad news. He also must be going crazy trying to find her, since she ran away from Manehatten. That crazy fucker would probably look everywhere for her. And if she did tell someone, they might call the police, and if he found out about it, he probably would kill her. And Pinkie would never forgive herself if something bad happened to her sister because of her.

So she, with tears in her eyes, said "Yes. I do."

Marble then hugged her sister and said "Thank you Pinkie. I love you."

"I love you too Marble." Pinkie said, still with tears in here eyes.
