New Face in Townby FanChaptersQuiet RiotJust a Get TogetherApple Family BonfirePARTY TIME!!!!!Mac and Marble Sittin’ In A TreeWelcome to Chef De La PinkamenaMeeting The CakesQuiet RiotPinkie Pie was ecstatic, at least more than usual. Her sister was coming to Ponyville, PERMANENTLY, what else could she ask for? “Some Swiss Rolls would be good right now”, she said, drooling as she spoke. Ok.....maybe she wanted Swiss Rolls, but that was beside the point. Marble Pie is coming to Ponyville! “Ooooh, I just can’t take it!!”, Pinkie said with a lack of patience. Along with Pinkie were her friends Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Spike, and Derpy Hooves. They all agreed to help welcome Marble to a new beginning. “Now hold on Sugercube, good things come to those who wait, so please calm down. Ah promise it’ll be soon”, said Applejack, trying to calm down her friend. “But I can’t wait, Applejack! Marble should be here any minu-!”, she stopped as she saw the train coming. Her friends, sensing the storm, backed up slightly. “SHES HERE! SHE HAS ARRIVED”, Pinkie screamed in joy. The train came to halt, and ponies began to spill out. Pinkie pulled out a pair of binoculars and began scouting for Marble, stopping when she spotted the youngest Pie. “Target acquired, mission is a go”, she said as she made her way towards Marble. “HI MARBLE!!”, she said, wrapping her sister in a hug. Marble looked frightened for a second, but soon smiled and hugged back. “Everypony, this my babysister Marble Pie! Everypony say hi!”, she commanded. They all said hi and walked over to greet the new arrival. “Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, how do you do?”, Twilight friendly greeted. Marble just blushed and looked at her sister. “Marble doesn’t talk much, but she’s glad to meet you”, Pinkie said. Twilight nodded and went to find Derpy. “Howdy, Marble! Long time no see!”, Applejack said, putting out her hoof out. Marble raised her hoof, but Applejack took it and fast shook. Marble pulled back, hiding behind her mane. Applejack laughed embarrassingly and trotted off. “Sup, I’m Rainbow Dash, what you never heard of me?”, Dash asked with a confident smirk. Marble shook her, she had never heard that name before. Dash chuckled and flew off to nap. The rest gave their greeting and went on their way, leaving the two Pie sisters alone. “This is going to be great, Marble! We can tell ghost stories, bake cupcakes, play game-“, Pinkie said rambling while making her way. Marble sighed and smiled, “Same old Pinkie”, she thought to herself. This was going to wild. Author's Note But of a different concept, but I’m willing to try! Give me your thoughts, this is only in the prototype stage Just a Get TogetherPinkie sighed as she closed the door to her room, allowing her sister some much needed rest. She didn’t understand why Marble was so shy, it didn’t compute. “Maybe I need to ask Somepony for advice”, Pinkie contemplated as she walked behind the front counter. The put her hoof on her chin and tried to think about who to ask. “U-Uhm, Pinkie?”, said a timid voice. Upon hearing the voice, Pinkie perked up. “Hiya, Fluttershy! What brings you here?”, Pinkie asked her friend. “I’ll tale a dozen doughnuts, glazed please”, Fluttershy said with a smile. “Okie Dokie Loki! One batch coming right up!”, said Pinkie as she got to work in the kitchen. Her brain then shot forth an interesting thought, “Marble and Flutters are quite alike-“, she stopped her thought, and then she smiled. “That’s it it! Fluttershy is the answer! But how do I get them to mingle?”, Pinkie’s brain once again reached a fork in the road. “Pinkie, is everything alright”, called Fluttershy. “You betcha, Flutters”, she said back. As she put the doughnuts in oven, she went over to Fluttershy. “Hey, Flutter?”, Pinkie said. “Yes Pinkie?”, Fluttershy said back. “I sorta have this problem, and I think you’re the only one who can fix it”, she’s admitted. “O-Oh, alright Pinkie, what seems to be the problem?”, she responded curiously. “You know my sister, Marble. She’s having a hard time fitting in here, and since your shy, I thought you could help her out”, Pinkie asked. Fluttershy thought about it, and then spoke, “Alright Pinkie, where is she?”, Flutter said. “Shes upstairs, lets go”, Pinkie said, dragging Fluttershy up the stairs. Pinkie gave a soft knock, “Marble, it’s me. You ok?”, Pinkie asked. No answer......not even a snore. Pinkie opened the door, only find Marble sobbing in bed. “Marble? What wrong?”, Pinkie asked, worried for her sister. Marble opened her mouth, was she really about speak? “Pinkie, I’m sorry that I don’t talk much. I just don’t know what to say, I wouldn’t want hurt someponys feelings, it would hurt me more than them”, Marble spoke, shocking both mares. “M-Marble....”, Pinkie said, choking up. Pinkie embraced her sister as Fluttershy watched on. “Pinkie, I don’t want to be silent anymore”, Marble spoke. “Really?! Oh, thank you Celestia!”, Pinkie said happily. Fluttershy spoke up, “Why don’t we go downstairs and have some doughnuts?”, she asked with a smile. “Sure”, Marble said, smiling. It sure was a good day. Author's Note She Spoke!!!!! Apple Family BonfireMarble woke up to a beautiful sunrise. The day before was great, she had overcome her fear of social interaction, and had a nice doughnut and tea party with Pinkie and Fluttershy. “Sleepyhead!”, She heard a voice say. “Good morning, sis. Sleep well?”, Marble asked her sister. “You bet I did! How about you?”, Pinkie replied giddy. “Pretty good, your bed is soft!”, Marble said with a giggle. Pinkie almost shed a tear. She had never heard her sister so happy. In fact, she almost never heard her at all. That changed, though, and she couldn’t be happier. “You want some breakfast, Marble?”, Pinkie asked. “Sure Pinks, lets go get some”, she replied walking out of the room. The Pie sisters went downstairs to the kitchen, where they Mr. and Mrs. Cake and their foals having breakfast. “Morning, Pinkie. Who’s your friend?”, Mr. Cake asked. Pinkie blushed, she had forgotten to introduce her own sister to Mr. Cake. “This is my baby sister Marble Pie. The one who was coming to stay”, Pinkie said. “Hi....”, Marble greeted. “Well, I’ll be. She said something!”, Mrs. Cake butted in. Marble blushed, she hadn’t expected anypony to react like that. “I know, right! She came out of her shell last night”, Pinkie stated proudly. Mr. Cake just looked confused, why were they so proud of that? “You see honey”, Mrs. Cake said, noting her husbands confusion, “Marble didn’t really say much until she came here yesterday. It seems Pinkie helped her have a voice”. “Oh, that makes sense”, he added. “Oh! Marble, there are to other people you need to meet”, Pinkie said pointing towards the Cake Twins. “Meet Pumpkin and Pound Cake!”, Pinkie said while nuzzling the two foals. The giggled when they saw Marble. “Well aren’t you two just a couple of sweethearts”, Marble said towards the foals. “Anyway, me and Marble are going to town”, Pinkie said while looking at Marble. “W-We are?”, Marble asked. “Yes silly, there’s so much you need to see, and so much you need to do!”, Pinkie said funnily. Marble chuckled, she liked when Pinkie talked like that. “Alright Sis, lets go”, Marble said walking towards the door. Pinkie nodded and they were on their way. —————————————————————— Applejack was bored beyond belief. Her apple stand was barely getting customers. She looked around and saw Pinkie and Marble happily trotting away. “Pinkie, Marble, over here!”, she yelled, hoping to get their attention. She succeeded, as the two Pies walked over. “Howdy Pinkie!”, she adressed Pinkie. “Hi!”, Pinkie responded. “Howdy Marble!”, she asked, not expecting a response. “Hello”, Marble said with a smile. Applejack’s jaw dropped, had she heard right? “Marble......did you just......talk”, she asked dumbfounded. “Uh..Yeah?”, Marble responded. “Well, this is great! Now we can talk easier”, Applejack chuckled Marble chuckled and just smiled. “Anyway, watcha up to AJ?”, Pinkie said. “Just sitting, bored off my flank”, Applejack “Aww, that’s not good. Can we do anything to cheer you up?”, Marble said. “I know! AJ, I’ll take 2 apple fritters”, Pinkie said mouth watering. “Ok Pinkie, that’ll be 4 bits”, she said. Pinkie handed the currency over and grabbed the fritters. Marble took a big bite out of hers, she had never tried an apple fritter. “Oh my!”, said Marble. “What is it, Sugarcube?”, Applejack said concerned. “This. Is. AMAZING!”, Marble screamed, causing other ponies to stare. Applejack grinned from ear to ear, Nopony had ever reacted so warmly towards her family’s fritters. “Glad y’all like it”, she said with a grateful smile. “Like it? I love it!”, Marble said while cheerfully eating her treat. Pinkie was so happy she began to bounce. “Say, me and the gang are having a bonfire, y’all wanna come?”, Applejack suddenly asked. “Will there be more fritters?”, Marble asked. Applejack chuckled, “Yes, Marble there will be fritters”, Applejack said with a grin. “Can we please go Pinkie? Please?”, she asked the elder Pie. “Of course, silly! What’s a party without the Pie family!”, Pinkie responded bouncing. “Alright! I’ll see y’all there!”, Applejack said happily joining in the mood. Marble smiled, but she was also kind of worried. “This is my first party in a long time, how will I do?”, she thought. Only one way to find out..... Author's Note Marble loves her fritters 🤩 PARTY TIME!!!!!Pinkie and Marble walked back to Sugarcube Corner, smiles gracing their faces. “I’m so excited Marble!”, Pinkie said jumping on the bed. “Yeah...”, Marble said grinning, but not really meaning it. “Marble, what’s wrong?”, Pinkie said losing her happy mood. “Well.......It’s my first party in quite some time. I don’t know what to do”, she said. Pinkie just laughed, it was funny to her. “Pinkie, what’s so funny?”, Marble asked, her cheeks rushing with red. “You, silly filly!”, she said wiping tears out of eyes. Marble was confused, how could a concern be funny. “Marble, you’ll do great. The attitude I saw today from you, it was so contagious. If you act like that, you’ll fit like Rainbow Dash in a Wonderbolts uniform”, Pinkie said with a smile. Marble, though not getting the reference, was content with that answer. “Thanks Pinks, you know just what to say”, Marble said, embracing her elder by a few seconds. —————————————————————— The fire was raging as the party goers began to talk and have fun. Derpy was cuddling up next to Twilight, Fluttershy was holding Angel, and Rainbow Dash was doing a push-up contest with Applejack. “Give up yet?”, Applejack said through gritted teeth. “Never!”, Rainbow shout back, sweat pouring off of her. Marble and Pinkie we’re talking with Rarity. “ I must say darling, I’m glad you opened up a little, your voice is adorable”, Rarity said. “Thanks Rarity, I’m glad I did too”, she said with a proud smile. “Say, where’s Pinkie?”, Marble asked. “That I don’t know my dear”, Rarity said stumped. “Pinkie! Pinkie, where are you?”, Marble said. “Over here Marble!”, Pinkie’s voice called out. Marble looked over to see her talking to a big red stallion, one she thought she’d never see again. “Is...Is that Big McIntosh?”, she said to herself. Marble trotted over and Pinkie greeted her. “Hey Marble! Look who I found!”, she said while smiling. “Howdy Ms. Marble, ain’t seen you in a Manehattan minute. Miss Pinkie says you talk now?”, asked Big Mac. “Yes, I do, and it’s good to see you again. How’ve you been?”, she asked. McIntosh smiled, “So Pinkie was tellin’ the truth”, he thought. “Ah’ve just been on the farm doing what I do”, he said proudly. “What..do you do again?”, she asked with a sheepish grin. “Oh right, probably should’ve told ya before. I plow the fields here at Sweet Apple Acres”, he said awkwardly. “Oh my, that’s sounds really hard”, she said concerned. “Nah, it’s ok. I can do it just fine”, he said. “HEY EVERYPONY! YOU READY TO GET THIS BONFIRE STARTED?”, Applejack said. Everypony and one dragon cheered. “Alright then, hit it!”, she said to the band behind her. They began playing a fast country dance song, and Everypony joined in the fun. “Y’all like to dance, Miss Marble?”, asked Mac. “Oh, I’ve never danced to this kind of music before”, Marble said sheepishly. “I don’t take no skill, just let your body do the work”, he said. “Alright, I’ll try”, Marble smiled. They went over to the crowd and began to dance along. Marble was very impressed with McIntosh and his square dancing abilities, never before had she seen Somepony that big move so gracefully. Eventually, the pair left the group to go to a quiet spot, as they both had headaches. “I’ve gotta say Big Mac, I’ve never seen Somepony your size dance so well”, Marble admitted. “Well thank ya’ Marble, you didn’t do to bad yerself”, he said with a smile. Marble and Mac just sat there under Luna’s moon. They both felt a feeling neither one of them ever wanted to forget. Mac and Marble Sittin’ In A TreeIt was quite a rainy day in Ponyville. Most of the ponies stayed inside, reading and playing games with the hope of the sun peeping it’s hot head out. But there was one family that wasn’t inside, one that through rain, shine, snow.....ok, maybe not snow, but you get the point! The Apple Family In particular, Applejack and Big Macintosh, were bucking the trees and other chores relating to farming. The elder Apple, McIntosh, was a bit distracted, however. He didn’t have Apples on the mind, as one might think. He had Pie on the mind, more specifically Marble Pie, his marefriend of 3 months. He knew her before though, she was just this silent mare at a Hearth’s Warming party, but now she was a strong willed, happy mare who had one his heart. And they both couldn’t be happier. They had gone to dinner, went bowling, hiked through Ghastly Gorge, and even helped Pinkie Pie bake her many mouth-watering treats. Yes, life was good for the couple, but how long could it’s last? McIntosh was afraid of this possibility, as his last relationship had ended pretty harshly. The mare he dated, Flitter, broke his heart on their anniversary. He caught her cheating with another stallion. To say he’d been through a lot was putting it lightly. But this was different, Marble actually cared more than Flitter or any other mare ever could’ve. She was patient, kind, but assertive when she needed to be, just how he liked it. After his day in the rain, he felt an urge to see Marble, so he made his way to Sugarcube Corner to see his special somepony. —————————————————————— Marble was helping Pinkie with dish duty when they heard the bell ring, indicating a new customer. Pinkie sprung to her job, meeting the pony at the counter. “Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, where the treats are always amazing feats!”, she said with a wide smile. She loved her job. “Howdy Miss Pie”, he said. “Howdy to you too, Big Mac! You here for Marble?”, she asked with a sly grin. Mac nodded and Pinkie sped off. A few seconds later, Marble met her coltfriend. “Hi Mac”, she said pecking him on the lips. “Hey Sugarcube, hows y’alls day going?”, he asked, blushing from the kiss. “It’s going good, how about you?”, she said with a dreamy smile. Her coltfriend always put her first. “About as good as working in the rain could be”, he added with a chuckle. “I envy you Mac, your ethic just can’t be beat”, she said. Mac replied with a kiss to her voice, “I envy you too, my little fritter”, he said staring into her purple orbs. Marble blushed, he was always a good gentlecolt. “Anyway, what did you need?”, she asked. “Do you you want to go out tonight? My treat?”, he asked with a smile. “Sure Mac, where did you have in mind?”, she asked. “How about right here!”, said a new, energetic voice. Both ponies just at the sudden appearance of one Pinkamena Diane Pie, questioning how a pony could be so stealthy. “I don’t know....what do you think Mac?”, Marble asked. Mac thought it over and responded, “Sure, Ah don’t see why not”, he said with a smile. Pinkie flashed a big, goofy grin, “Great! Both of you be here by 7:30 tonight, I shall start prepping!”, she said before rushing up stairs. “How do y’all live with Pinkie Pie?”, he asked quizzingly. “Honestly Maccie, I don’t know”, Marble said with a grin. Welcome to Chef De La Pinkamena“Welcome to Chef De La Pinkamena, do you have a reservation”, a pink pony asked wearing a fake mustache. The mare and stallion she adressed only chuckled. They loved her foalish ways. “Umm, yes?”, the mare said. “Wonderful! Please-a follow me to your-a table!”, she said in a Coltalian accent. The duo once again chuckled, it was truly a charming display. “Pinkie, you sure are a character”, the mare said with a chuckle. Pinkie only laughed along, but soon remembered her character, and became engulfed in her role yet again. “Who is ziz Pinkie zat you speak of? I am Jean-Claude Van Mare, sweet maker extraordinaire”, she said with a smirk. She then turned and led them to their table, and let them settle down. “What I’ll let you to amores settle”, she said, darting off toward the kitchen. “Well, yer sister sure is a entertainer, wonder why she never got into show- business?”, the big red stallion said. “If I knew, I would tell you Mac”, she said with a smile. Mac just beamed. He loved her company, her smile, he loved everything about this once timid mare. “Marble, there’s somethin’ I have to tell you”, Mac said nervously. “What is it honey?”, she said concerned. Just before Mac was able to say, the “waiter” came back with their appetizers. “Bubblegum Soup, enjoy!”, she said, bowing while backing away. They both stared at this strange dish. It looked like pink, thick liquid. They were unsure at first, but Marble took a sip. “How is it honey?”, McIntosh asked his mare. Her eyes lit up, surely she had only nice things to say? “Maccie, this is.....AMAZING!”, she said, shouting to the heavens. Mac smiled, but then heard a creak behind him. He saw Pinkie peer from behind the door, somehow keeping upright. “Your bucking right it’s amazing”, she said, now sporting aviator shades. Mac just shook his head and turned to his marefriend, who was still in love with the soup. “Mac, you’ve gotta try this!”, she said with high hopes. Mac took one lick, and instantly put on a goofy grin. Never had something been as sweet as this treat. Marble giggled at her coltfriend, but then heard music coming from the small stage area Pinkie had somehow built. Come with me, And you’ll be, In a word of pure imagination, Take a look, And see, Into your imagination, The words that echoed out of the pink mares mouth was breathtaking, they knew she could sing, but dang! As the song continued, Marble slowly got up and swayed to the beat. Mac followed her lead and the two began a simple slow dance. Marble leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling that no place could ever be more comfortable. “Mac...”, she said with bliss. “Yes, Marble”, he said, staring into her violet orbs. “I love you...”, she said embracing her big red love hunk (😂). “Ah love you too, Marbel Pie”, he said back. Pinkie she tears of joy. Marble had found her voice, and the lover of her dreams. Being The New Face In Town wasn’t so bad after all.... Author's Note That’s a wrap, folks 🎬 Meeting The Cakes“Your going to love it here Marble! New friends, new adventures, new everything!”, promised Pinkie Pie. Marble just nodded. She was happy to get away from the rock farm, but the thought of meeting new ponies frightened her. “You ok Marble?”, Pinkie said. “Mhmm”, Marble replied in her signature sound. “Are you suuure?”, the elder Pie asked. Marble looked around, but was thankfully cut off. “Ah, this must be Marble”, said a feminine voice. “Yes it is, Mrs. Cake. Marble, this is Mrs. Cake”, she said introducing the two mares. “How do you do?”, Mrs. Cake asked. Marble just stood in silence, once again looking at Pinkie. “She’s not one for words, hehe”, Pinkie said, covering for her sister. “Oh, ok. Anyway, welcome Marble!”, she said before exiting. “See ya later, alligator”, Pinkie said. Just then, Marble heard a loud bite behind Pinkie. “Well hello to you too, Gummy!”, Pinkie said laughing. Pinkie raised her tail to reveal a baby alligator, naming on her puffy tail. “Marble, this is Gummy”, Pinkie said, introducing her reptilian homie. Gummy unlatched from Pinkie’s tail, and scampered over to Marble, staring at her with lifeless eyes. Marble just stared back, feeling weirded out. Something about this creature seemed...off. “Anyway Marble, what do you wanna do? Bake? Dance? Rollerblade?”, Pinkie said, producing a pair of skates. Marble pointed towards the bed, and Pinkie got the message. “Oh, you want to nap. Well, ok baby sis, sweet dreams!”, Pinkie said before leaving. Gummy was left behind, giving that ever- present blank glare. Marble settled into her sisters bed, she sure was tired after the train ride. Gummy jumped onto the bed and snuggled into her mane. Marble cracked a smile, “Maybe this won’t be so bad”, she said before dozing off.

Derpy was cuddling up next to Twilight, Fluttershy was holding Angel, and Rainbow Dash was doing a push-up contest with Applejack. “Give up yet?”, Applejack said through gritted teeth. “Never!”, Rainbow shout back, sweat pouring off of her. Marble and Pinkie we’re talking with Rarity. “ I must say darling, I’m glad you opened up a little, your voice is adorable”, Rarity said. “Thanks Rarity, I’m glad I did too”, she said with a proud smile. “Say, where’s Pinkie?”, Marble asked. “That I don’t know my dear”, Rarity said stumped. “Pinkie! Pinkie, where are you?”, Marble said. “Over here Marble!”, Pinkie’s voice called out. Marble looked over to see her talking to a big red stallion, one she thought she’d never see again. “Is...Is that Big McIntosh?”, she said to herself. Marble trotted over and Pinkie greeted her. “Hey Marble! Look who I found!”, she said while smiling. “Howdy Ms. Marble, ain’t seen you in a Manehattan minute. Miss Pinkie says you talk now?”, asked Big Mac. “Yes, I do, and it’s good to see you again. How’ve you been?”, she asked. McIntosh smiled, “So Pinkie was tellin’ the truth”, he thought. “Ah’ve just been on the farm doing what I do”, he said proudly. “What..do you do again?”, she asked with a sheepish grin. “Oh right, probably should’ve told ya before. I plow the fields here at Sweet Apple Acres”, he said awkwardly. “Oh my, that’s sounds really hard”, she said concerned. “Nah, it’s ok. I can do it just fine”, he said. “HEY EVERYPONY! YOU READY TO GET THIS BONFIRE STARTED?”, Applejack said. Everypony and one dragon cheered. “Alright then, hit it!”, she said to the band behind her. They began playing a fast country dance song, and Everypony joined in the fun. “Y’all like to dance, Miss Marble?”, asked Mac. “Oh, I’ve never danced to this kind of music before”, Marble said sheepishly. “I don’t take no skill, just let your body do the work”, he said. “Alright, I’ll try”, Marble smiled. They went over to the crowd and began to dance along. Marble was very impressed with McIntosh and his square dancing abilities, never before had she seen Somepony that big move so gracefully. Eventually, the pair left the group to go to a quiet spot, as they both had headaches. “I’ve gotta say Big Mac, I’ve never seen Somepony your size dance so well”, Marble admitted. “Well thank ya’ Marble, you didn’t do to bad yerself”, he said with a smile. Marble and Mac just sat there under Luna’s moon. They both felt a feeling neither one of them ever wanted to forget.
Mac and Marble Sittin’ In A TreeIt was quite a rainy day in Ponyville. Most of the ponies stayed inside, reading and playing games with the hope of the sun peeping it’s hot head out. But there was one family that wasn’t inside, one that through rain, shine, snow.....ok, maybe not snow, but you get the point! The Apple Family In particular, Applejack and Big Macintosh, were bucking the trees and other chores relating to farming. The elder Apple, McIntosh, was a bit distracted, however. He didn’t have Apples on the mind, as one might think. He had Pie on the mind, more specifically Marble Pie, his marefriend of 3 months. He knew her before though, she was just this silent mare at a Hearth’s Warming party, but now she was a strong willed, happy mare who had one his heart. And they both couldn’t be happier. They had gone to dinner, went bowling, hiked through Ghastly Gorge, and even helped Pinkie Pie bake her many mouth-watering treats. Yes, life was good for the couple, but how long could it’s last? McIntosh was afraid of this possibility, as his last relationship had ended pretty harshly. The mare he dated, Flitter, broke his heart on their anniversary. He caught her cheating with another stallion. To say he’d been through a lot was putting it lightly. But this was different, Marble actually cared more than Flitter or any other mare ever could’ve. She was patient, kind, but assertive when she needed to be, just how he liked it. After his day in the rain, he felt an urge to see Marble, so he made his way to Sugarcube Corner to see his special somepony. —————————————————————— Marble was helping Pinkie with dish duty when they heard the bell ring, indicating a new customer. Pinkie sprung to her job, meeting the pony at the counter. “Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, where the treats are always amazing feats!”, she said with a wide smile. She loved her job. “Howdy Miss Pie”, he said. “Howdy to you too, Big Mac! You here for Marble?”, she asked with a sly grin. Mac nodded and Pinkie sped off. A few seconds later, Marble met her coltfriend. “Hi Mac”, she said pecking him on the lips. “Hey Sugarcube, hows y’alls day going?”, he asked, blushing from the kiss. “It’s going good, how about you?”, she said with a dreamy smile. Her coltfriend always put her first. “About as good as working in the rain could be”, he added with a chuckle. “I envy you Mac, your ethic just can’t be beat”, she said. Mac replied with a kiss to her voice, “I envy you too, my little fritter”, he said staring into her purple orbs. Marble blushed, he was always a good gentlecolt. “Anyway, what did you need?”, she asked. “Do you you want to go out tonight? My treat?”, he asked with a smile. “Sure Mac, where did you have in mind?”, she asked. “How about right here!”, said a new, energetic voice. Both ponies just at the sudden appearance of one Pinkamena Diane Pie, questioning how a pony could be so stealthy. “I don’t know....what do you think Mac?”, Marble asked. Mac thought it over and responded, “Sure, Ah don’t see why not”, he said with a smile. Pinkie flashed a big, goofy grin, “Great! Both of you be here by 7:30 tonight, I shall start prepping!”, she said before rushing up stairs. “How do y’all live with Pinkie Pie?”, he asked quizzingly. “Honestly Maccie, I don’t know”, Marble said with a grin.
Welcome to Chef De La Pinkamena“Welcome to Chef De La Pinkamena, do you have a reservation”, a pink pony asked wearing a fake mustache. The mare and stallion she adressed only chuckled. They loved her foalish ways. “Umm, yes?”, the mare said. “Wonderful! Please-a follow me to your-a table!”, she said in a Coltalian accent. The duo once again chuckled, it was truly a charming display. “Pinkie, you sure are a character”, the mare said with a chuckle. Pinkie only laughed along, but soon remembered her character, and became engulfed in her role yet again. “Who is ziz Pinkie zat you speak of? I am Jean-Claude Van Mare, sweet maker extraordinaire”, she said with a smirk. She then turned and led them to their table, and let them settle down. “What I’ll let you to amores settle”, she said, darting off toward the kitchen. “Well, yer sister sure is a entertainer, wonder why she never got into show- business?”, the big red stallion said. “If I knew, I would tell you Mac”, she said with a smile. Mac just beamed. He loved her company, her smile, he loved everything about this once timid mare. “Marble, there’s somethin’ I have to tell you”, Mac said nervously. “What is it honey?”, she said concerned. Just before Mac was able to say, the “waiter” came back with their appetizers. “Bubblegum Soup, enjoy!”, she said, bowing while backing away. They both stared at this strange dish. It looked like pink, thick liquid. They were unsure at first, but Marble took a sip. “How is it honey?”, McIntosh asked his mare. Her eyes lit up, surely she had only nice things to say? “Maccie, this is.....AMAZING!”, she said, shouting to the heavens. Mac smiled, but then heard a creak behind him. He saw Pinkie peer from behind the door, somehow keeping upright. “Your bucking right it’s amazing”, she said, now sporting aviator shades. Mac just shook his head and turned to his marefriend, who was still in love with the soup. “Mac, you’ve gotta try this!”, she said with high hopes. Mac took one lick, and instantly put on a goofy grin. Never had something been as sweet as this treat. Marble giggled at her coltfriend, but then heard music coming from the small stage area Pinkie had somehow built. Come with me, And you’ll be, In a word of pure imagination, Take a look, And see, Into your imagination, The words that echoed out of the pink mares mouth was breathtaking, they knew she could sing, but dang! As the song continued, Marble slowly got up and swayed to the beat. Mac followed her lead and the two began a simple slow dance. Marble leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling that no place could ever be more comfortable. “Mac...”, she said with bliss. “Yes, Marble”, he said, staring into her violet orbs. “I love you...”, she said embracing her big red love hunk (😂). “Ah love you too, Marbel Pie”, he said back. Pinkie she tears of joy. Marble had found her voice, and the lover of her dreams. Being The New Face In Town wasn’t so bad after all.... Author's Note That’s a wrap, folks 🎬
Meeting The Cakes“Your going to love it here Marble! New friends, new adventures, new everything!”, promised Pinkie Pie. Marble just nodded. She was happy to get away from the rock farm, but the thought of meeting new ponies frightened her. “You ok Marble?”, Pinkie said. “Mhmm”, Marble replied in her signature sound. “Are you suuure?”, the elder Pie asked. Marble looked around, but was thankfully cut off. “Ah, this must be Marble”, said a feminine voice. “Yes it is, Mrs. Cake. Marble, this is Mrs. Cake”, she said introducing the two mares. “How do you do?”, Mrs. Cake asked. Marble just stood in silence, once again looking at Pinkie. “She’s not one for words, hehe”, Pinkie said, covering for her sister. “Oh, ok. Anyway, welcome Marble!”, she said before exiting. “See ya later, alligator”, Pinkie said. Just then, Marble heard a loud bite behind Pinkie. “Well hello to you too, Gummy!”, Pinkie said laughing. Pinkie raised her tail to reveal a baby alligator, naming on her puffy tail. “Marble, this is Gummy”, Pinkie said, introducing her reptilian homie. Gummy unlatched from Pinkie’s tail, and scampered over to Marble, staring at her with lifeless eyes. Marble just stared back, feeling weirded out. Something about this creature seemed...off. “Anyway Marble, what do you wanna do? Bake? Dance? Rollerblade?”, Pinkie said, producing a pair of skates. Marble pointed towards the bed, and Pinkie got the message. “Oh, you want to nap. Well, ok baby sis, sweet dreams!”, Pinkie said before leaving. Gummy was left behind, giving that ever- present blank glare. Marble settled into her sisters bed, she sure was tired after the train ride. Gummy jumped onto the bed and snuggled into her mane. Marble cracked a smile, “Maybe this won’t be so bad”, she said before dozing off.
