Help from a Sister
Chapter 4
Previous Chapter*Somewhere outside and of Ponyville*
It was a sunny afternoon when a Russian red cameo coated unicorn with an ash grey with red tips mane walked down the street. He was headed toward Ponyville, or his new home as he called it. He was taking in the sights.
"This place is beautiful." He thought. "I wish Stunner was here."
He kept walking toward his designated location that was Ponyville.
*Somewhere in Ponyville*
Marble and Pinkie were walking together with a basket full of cupcakes, that they made themselves. Marble was, while still a little nervous, very eager to meet Pinkie's friends. Pinkie talked about them constantly, but in a very good way. She still couldn't believe that Pinkie knew everypony, and it wasn't just a figure of speech,... EVERYPONY in Ponyville. Why while they were walking, Pinkie introduced Marble to about 5 ponies she knew in Ponyville. One was a pink coated and light pink maned teacher named Cheerilee, the other was a grey coated Pegasus with a bit of a wonky eye, and very clumsy named Derpy Hooves, although she preferred to be called Ditzy Doo. The other two were musicians, one with a white coat and blue spiked maned named Vinyl Scratch, or DJ-PON3, as she was called by most ponies, and the other one, she swore she saw double of herself. She had a black mane, a very coat and violet eyes. Her name was Octavia. The last one she met was Colgate, the Ponyville dentist, who told Pinkie it was about time for her to visit the dentist soon, with Pinkie saying she will. It was just amazing how many ponies knew Pinkie. Well Pinkie always was the most outgoing in the family. Finally, they reached there designated area. A spot on top of a hill in a shady tree area. Marble saw the rainbow pony she met named Rainbow Dash earlier with 4 other mares with her. One being a yellow coated pinked maned Pegasus, a white coated blue maned unicorn, a yellow coated blonde maned earth pony, and a purple coated purple with a pink stripe maned unicorn. This was going to be something for sure.
"We're here." Pinkie cried out to her friends, while bouncing over to them. Marble just walked over to them.
"There you are Pinkie. Who's your friend?" The purple alicorn asked.
"I would like all of you to meet one of my triplet sisters, Marble. Marble these are my friends Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack." She said as she pointed to all of them.
Applejack stepped in first and said "Your Pinkie Pie's sister too? Whoowee. It's nice to meet ya Marble" she said as she extended her hoof to her.
"It's very nice to meet all of you to. Pinkie's told me so much about you guys."
"As she has with us about you too." Rarity said as her and Marble shook hooves as well.
She was about to shake hoofs with Fluttershy, but she had her face hidden in her mane. Marble looked confused.
Pinkie said "Don't worry she's just very shy. Hence her name."
Twilight then said " It's very nice to meet one of Pinkie's sisters. How many do you have Pinkie?"
"Three! Including Marble, Maud, and my other sister Limestone is still on the farm." She said.
So they sat down and started to eat.
After about a few minutes of eating, Twilight finally spoke
"So, Marble when did you first come to Ponyville. We didn't hear about it from Pinkie."
Marble said "Actually, I just moved here last night. Pinkie got me a job at Sugarcube Corner. I used to live in Manehatten, but I got laid off from my job at the Jewelry Shop they had there."
Rarity's eyes widened "So you know about jewels?" She asked.
"Yes. Why?"
"You must one day come to my store, The Carousal Boutique, to help out with my diamonds."
Marble then said "Actually Rarity, I don't know a thing about fashion. You should ask Limestone that. She's fashion incarnate"
"Yeah! She made the most prettiest dresses for us back on the farm." Pinkie exclaimed.
"Plus I haven't seen Pinkie in about 3 or 4 years, so I'd like to work with her go make up for lost time if you know what I mean." Marble said to Rarity.
Then Twilight spoke up and said "So where did you live while you were in Manehatten Marble?"
"I used to live in an apartment." Marble said.
"Did you have a roommate?"
Marble paused for a bit until she said "No, it was just me. Got lonely sometimes." She said trying to put on a good face to cover up the fact that she was lying.
Applejack, who was The Element of Honesty, could see that she was fibbing about that. Why would she lie about not having a roommate?
She was about to say something when Rarity cut in and said "Did you meet any stallions there Marble?"
Marble again paused and said "No, but it would've been nice. There were some pretty good looking stallions there. But I never had the guts to talk to any of them. I guess I'm a bit shy like you Fluttershy. No offense."
"None taken. I don't think I can talk to a stallion I think is attractive either."
Now Applejack was starting to really get the sense that Marble was not telling the truth about something. When Marble paused she looked away for a sec. That is one thing she learned about knowing when someone was a lyer. She was actually starting to wonder, as Marble and the others were talking to each other, that maybe there was something else going on.
Applejack then said "Marble, I don't mean to be rude, but when you got laid off from the jewelry shop, why didn't you go searching for another job? There had to have been some job openings somewhere in Manehatten. And how did you find out where Pinkie worked and lived? You said you hadn't seen her in 4 years. And how did the Cakes end up getting you a job at Sugercube Corner? I thought they weren't hiring any pony for a while from what Pinkie told us?"
Marble froze. She had no idea what to say. She had no idea that Pinkie's friends would question her. She didn't think they'd be like that.
However Pinkie cut in and saved the day when she said "Marble called me on my cellphone and told me everything AJ."
AJ then said "But Pinkie you don't have a ..."
"Come with me." Pinkie said as she dragged AJ away from everypony.
Everpony was weirded out by what just happened.
Even Rainbow Dash said "What was that about?"
When Pinkie dragged AJ over to a spot away from the picnic, she had this to say.
"Applejack, why were you asking Marble all those questions?"
"Because, and I'm sorry for saying this Pinkie, but your sister is lying about something. And so are you. You don't own a cellphone." Applejack exclaimed.
"Yes I do."
"Then show me."
"I left it back at the house."
"Then give me your number so we can talk more often when I can't go into Sugercube Corner."
Pinkie had an "Oh Crap" look on her face. Applejack wasn't messing around. She was serious.
Pinkie then just said "Okay I don't own a cell phone, but what is going on between me and Marble is none of your business Applejack." She said as she walked back toward the picnic.
"Why is it none of my business?" AJ said.
"Because it isn't. Just leave it at that." Pinkie exclaimed to her.
As Pinkie and AJ were fighting the girls were coming over to them, and it looked like they had packed up everything from the picnic. They approached the girls who were arguing with each other.
Twilight got between them and said "Girls, what is going on? Why are you fighting?"
"I'll tell ya one reason." AJ said and then pointed to Marble. "She's lying about something, and I want to know why."
Marble was being backed into a corner and didn't know what to do. So she just ran off in the other direction.
Pinkie then said to Applejack "I told you. It's none of your business. So stay out of it." She said as she ran off after Marble.
Applejack attempted to run off after them, but was caught by Twilight's magic. And the girls did not look happy at all.
"What the hell was that AJ? You just yelled at Pinkie's sister who's new here. Not to mention you called her a liar. What's up with that?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"Yeah, this isn't like you." Twilight said.
"It certainly wasn't ladylike by any means, but you never were ladylike were you Applejack?"
Applejack then said "I know a liar when I see one. And she is lying about something for coming here to Ponyville."
"How do you figure? She seems honest to me." Twilight said.
"How do I figure? I'm The Element of Honesty. I can call a lie like how Big Mac can call a turkey."
"Well Applejack, even if you are the Element of Honesty, your wrong about Marble. All you did was just bully a new face in town, who happens to be related to Pinkie. Now if you'll excuse us, we're going to go and see how Marble is doing. I think you should head back to the farm." Twilight said as she and the girls walked off to find Marble and Pinkie leaving Applejack alone in her thoughts.
"I know there's something going on." She thought. "And I'm gonna find out what it is." She thought as she headed back to the farm lived in known as Sweet Apple Acres. She just hoped Big Mac and Apple Bloom were on her side with this.
*Somewhere near the Ponyville entrance*
The grey coated unicorn entered Ponyville and just stood in awe.
"This place is incredible." He thought as he walked around town.
And just as he was walking, and not paying attention to where he was going, he crashed into a pony.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you mister." Said the pony who had a grey coat, a black mane, and a jewel heart as a cutie mark. She looked pretty attractive to where he was standing.
He got up and said "Don't worry ma'am, I was the one who wasn't looking where I was going. I was just taking in the sights, and I got distracted." The stallion said.
"So your all right?" The gray made said.
"Yes." The stallion said.
"So are you new here?"
"Yes, I actually literally just got here right now."
"Well, welcome to Ponyville. My name's Marble Pie."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Pyro."
"MARBLE, wait!" A voice just said as it was a pink coated made with a dark pink frizzy mane and balloons for a cutie mark came up to them.
She stopped as she saw the stallion. She Gasped and then grabbed Marble and ran off with her.
"That was odd. I think I'm gonna like it here." He said as he continued walking into town to see the sights again.
