Dear journal, the Apple siblings and Pinkie came by to visit today. We all had a blast together. Well, for the most part. Big Mac decided to bring Sugar Belle and to make it worse, she had an engagement ring on her horn. I'm just so mad I could scream. How could he choose her over me?

Marble then sneaks her journal back into her bag and hides it behind her. "What you doing there, Marble?" asks Applejack confused, curious and intrigued.
"She's just writing in her journal," responds Pinkie. "She does it all the time. It's just how she expresses herself. Leave her be, Applejack."
"Fine," snorts AJ. She and Pinkie then go outside and talk.
"AJ?" says Pinkie once they're outside, "can I tell you something?"
"What?" asks AJ. "Is it about how Marble loves Big Mac and is jealous of Sugar Belle?"
"How did you know?" asks Pinkie.
"It's obvious. I can see her go red in the face whenever she sees the two kiss. The engagement just seemed to rub it in her face and make it worse," responds AJ.
"Yeah, it did," responds Pinkie. "She did love Big Mac first. Ever since last Hearth's Warming, she hasn't been able to get over him. She regrets not kissing him under the mistletoe that year. Big Mac dating Sugar Belle just adds acid to that wound even more, not allowing it to heal."
"Well, there's not much we can do about it," responds AJ. "Big Mac would never call off the engagement. I'm sorry."
"It's fine, AJ," responds Pinkie. "I understand. I just feel so bad for my sister. Your brother is the only pony she's ever had a romantic love for. She's not going to move on anytime soon and I want you to realize that."
"I do," responds AJ. "And I'm sorry. I really am."
The two then return inside. Marble had escaped back to her room and just sat on the floor and cried. Pinkie parts ways with AJ and goes up to comfort her sister.
"Marble," says Pinkie as she enters her sister's room, "come here. Cry on my shoulder. I don't mind." Marble gets up and comes and cries in Pinkie's arms, Pinkie doing her best to comfort her sister and let her get all her tears out at the same time. The two sit there for hours. They don't even come down for dinner to every pony else's shock. Marble really is taking it hard. Oh, if only Big Mac knew! Alas, both Pinkie and AJ are too scared to tell him because they don't want him mad at the both of 'em.
