Dear journal, today I went home to the rock farm after a nice weekend with Pinkie. I'm glad I have a shoulder of at least one sister to lean on. Sure Maud makes me laugh. Limestone and I are on complete opposite sides of the spectrum personality wise. But not me and Pinkie. Pinkie always understands me and has my back. She's supported me through everything. I think I've always been closer with her than the other two. I just heard as I was coming into the farm that dad's friend Clay Potter is coming over today for lunch. That should be nice. I like Clay Potter. He's such a gentle stallion. I remember he used to come over all the time when we were all little fillies and would play with us. Today is going to be a good day.

A few minutes later, Marble enters the house and is embraced in a hug by her father and by Clay. "Hey Marble, baby doll," says Clay, "how are you? My! How you've grown! You've all grown!"
"Mmhmm," responds Marble. She then nods to the stairwell and then to her father and Igneous gives her the okay to go upstairs.
Once in her room, she flips to a blank page in her journal and begins to write again.
Dear journal, Clay is the absolute greatest! He's basically an honorary Pie at this point. I am so glad he's around today. It's a nice change of pace in all our daily goings on. Welp, time to head down to enjoy lunch with mother, father, Clay Potter, Maud, and Limestone.

Marble then slips the journal back under her bed and goes down and enjoys lunch with Clay and her family. As they sit there, Clay and Igneous laugh at Maud's rock puns. Limestone just continues to slam her head into the table bored. It's just like every other family lunch pretty much. After awhile, Limestone is excused back to her room as is Marble. Maud, however, heads back out for the afternoon to spend the rest of it with her boyfriend, Mud Briar.
In her room, Marble hides under her blanket and pulls out her journal to write once again.
Dear journal, lunch went well. It is over now, though. Limestone is in here. I hope she doesn't find me writing in my journal. She'd think it was wimpy and would toss it in the wood stove downstairs. Now for my grief, Maud has a boyfriend, too. Not that there's anything wrong with Mud Briar, but it just reminds me of what I don't have. I know I should be grateful for what I do have, but I still wish I had a special some pony like my sister. It seems like I'm the only one without one. I'm sure Limestone doesn't care either way. After all, she doesn't get jealous. I can't help but be jealous, though. I still hate it that Big Mac chose Sugar Belle over me. I'm not scared to admit it. I know it's wrong to be jealous and my parents would chew me out for it if they found out, but I just can't help it. Maybe someday I'll get over it, but I doubt it.

Marble then puts up her journal for the night. She's just glad Limestone didn't see her writing in it. To her, that's the biggest relief in the world.
