// Journal Entry 9 
// Story: Inside the Mind of Marble Pie

Dear journal, today I went with Pinkie to the market and we ran into Applejack, Big Mac, and Sugar Belle. When I saw Sugar Belle, I slipped behind Pinkie to hide. I have to admit I feel kind of bad about that. I should learn to like Sugar Belle. I've never been good around ponies that aren't my sisters. That's going to have to change sooner or later though. After all, the wedding is only a few months away.

Marble then slips the journal back into her bag and goes out on a walk through Ponyville. She knows her way around well enough since she's been at Pinkie's almost every other weekend at this point. As she's walking through the streets, she is approached by Sugar Belle. 

"Hey Marble," says Sugar Belle with a smile. "How are you today?" 

"Mm," says Marble. 

"Well, I'm glad. You're not mad that I'm marrying Big Mac are you? I know you used to have a thing for him," responds Sugar Belle. 

"Mm hmm," responds Marble.

"Well, I'm sorry you're mad at me. I hope we can move past this and become friends," responds Sugar Belle. "I really do want you to like me, for Mac's sake." Sugar Belle then hops off the street and into the baking supply shop. 

Marble then continues on her merry way. A few minutes later, she goes into the candy store and gets a few treats to surprise her sister. She then goes to the apple cart and gets some apples as well. 

A few hours later, she returns to Sugar Cube Corner and Pinkie helps her prep all the stuff for the pie. The two then make the apple pie together. Once it is done, Marble writes a note and sticks it in the box with the pie. She then takes it to Big Mac. He then opens the note and reads it. It says, "dear Big Mac, I'm happy for you and I'll learn to like Sugar Belle someday. Just give me some time, Marble." He then smiles and embraces Marble in a hug and thanks her. The two then part ways. Marble is just glad she got that cleared up with him, even if it was in her own silent way.
