Marble: Sisterly Advice

Marble walked downstairs, seeing Applejack making breakfast. She smiled and walked over to her.

"Um... Applejack?"

Applejack turned to her, smiling brightly. "Howdy, Marble! It's a beautiful day today, isn't it?"

Marble nodded. "Oh, yes. But, I came to ask-"

"If breakfast is ready? The answer to that is almost," she said, stirring the scrambled eggs. Marble shook her head.

"Well, thank you, but that's not what I was going to ask, actually."

Applejack nodded. "Alright. What's on yer mind?"

"Um... can I have the day off?" She asked in a whisper. Applejack nodded.

"Of course ya can, Marble! But... why?"

"Well... I plan to ask Pinkie Pie for some advice about the whole telling your soulmate they're your soulmate thing."

Applejack smiled. "Why, that's a great idea! However, can ya wait until after breakfast? Ah don't want y'all leavin' on an empty stomach."

Marble nodded. "Sure thing. Need any help?"

Applejack shook her head. "Nah. But thanks anyway!" She said, gesturing to a seat. "Ya can sit down if ya want."

Marble nodded, taking a seat at the table. Momentarily, Apple Bloom bounded down the stairs, sniffing the air.

"Are we not havin' pancakes today?" She asked, sitting next to Marble. Applejack shook her head.

"Nah. Scrambled eggs, fruit, and cereal if ya want some."

Apple Bloom nodded. "Alright, fine," she said, walking up to the cupboard and opening it. After scanning the inside, she made a gagging noise. "Oh, come on! We have no good cereal!" She exclaimed.

Applejack looked in. "Ah, right. Ah ate all of yer fruity cereal yesterday."

Apple Bloom's ears flopped. "Really?"

Applejack nodded. "Yeah, sorry. Ah'll get some more later today."

Apple Bloom pouted. "Alright, alright. Ah'll eat some eggs then," she said, sitting in her seat next to Marble again. She waved at her when she did. "Hi, Marble!"

Marble waved back, giving the filly a pleasant smile. "Hello, Apple Bloom."

Applejack brought breakfast over, smiling. "Well, eat up, everypony. Ah'll try to get Mac and Granny over 'ere," she said, disappearing from the room. Marble took some eggs and fruit, eating it and smiling. She turned to Apple Bloom.

"Your sister makes really good meals."

Apple Bloom nodded. "She does. It would be better with my fruity cereal, though."


After waving to Applejack, Marble stepped out of the barn and started walking out of the orchard. She hadn't been out of it at all yesterday, and started to get anxious. She barely even knew her way around Ponyville! How would she find Sugarcube Corner? The last time she was here was for Limestone's wedding preparations, and she forgot just about everything!

She walked into the center of the town, trying to see if a certain pathway would spark her memory. Nothing came to her mind, so she frantically looked around for someone to ask. She didn't want to talk to anyone, but she didn't want to wander all day, either.

A pegasus flew above overhead, cutting through the air. She did a few tricks before coming to a stop in the air, panting for a few seconds before cooling off. Marble wanted to signal her over, but wasn't sure how exactly to do it. However, the pegasus seemed to notice her anxious expression and descended.

"Hey, you don't look so good. Do you need any help?" She asked, tossing her rainbow mane to the side. Marble nodded.

"Um... y-yes. Do you know where Sugarcube Corner is?" She asked, her voice close to a whisper. The pegasus nodded.

"Oh, yeah! Follow me!" She said, taking off at an incredibly fast pace. In a second she returned, chuckling.

"Hehe... sorry, forgot you can't fly," she said, now showing Marble to the building at a normal pace. After a minute, they reached the bakery. "Here it is!"

Marble smiled up at her. "Thank you!"

The pegasus nodded. "No problem!" She replied, taking back off into the sky at an abnormal speed. Marble walked up to the bakery, taking a deep breath. Pinkie didn't even know she was here, and was in for quite the surprise. After another breath, she walked in, slowly creaking the door open. As she opened it, she saw a lot of ponies sitting at tables, enjoying various desserts and treats. The smell of pastries and chocolate immediately filled her senses, and she walked inside and closed the door behind her. She looked around for Pinkie, soon finding her coming out from the kitchen. She took another deep breath, walking over to her. Pinkie looked out around the bakery, her eyes soon landing on Marble. The second they did, Pinkie let out one of the loudest gasps Marble had ever heard.

"MARBLE?!" Pinkie exclaimed, running over and hugging her while simultaneously getting the attention from everyone else in the bakery. Pinkie drew apart from Marble and smiled. "What are you doing here? Oh, more importantly, who's your soulmate?!" She asked, her eyes large. Marble blushed.

"Um... that's what I came to talk to you about, Pinkie," she said. Pinkie smiled.

"Alright! Let's go up to my room. It's private in there, since Cheese is taking care of the twins," she said, trotting to the stairs. "Mrs. Cake, I'll be up here with my sister!" Pinkie called. Mrs. Cake nodded.

"Alright, dear! Make sure Cheese is okay with the two when you go up there!" She replied before starting on another order. Pinkie and Marble trotted up the stairs, Pinkie giggling when they reached the top floor.

"Wanna go check on Cheesy with me?" She asked. Marble nodded.

"Mmhm," she said, following her giggly sister down the hall and to another room. Pinkie opened the door, sticking her head in.

"Hey, Cheese! How's it going?"

Cheese tried to grab Pound, who was starting to fly away again. He also was holding Pumpkin. "Uh... I'm managing! These two are silly and hard to control, let me tell ya!"

Pinkie giggled. "Well, good luck! I would help you, but I have to talk with Marble," she said, Marble now poking her head into the doorway as well. Cheese waved.

"Hey, Marble! How's the whole soulmate thing going- hey!" He yelled, trying to pull Pound back down. Pinkie giggled.

"It's going well," Marble said, blushing.

"Now, we gotta go! I'll be back soon!" She said, blowing Cheese a kiss. Cheese blew one back before Pinkie closed the door, giggling some more.

"Oh, follow me!" She said, bouncing to her room. Marble walked in, closing the door behind her. Pinkie patted the spot next to her on the bed, Marble sitting down. As soon as she did, Pinkie grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her.

"Whoisitwhoisitwhoisitwhoisit?!" She asked, her voice getting louder. Marble blushed.

"Um..."

Pinkie's eyes widened. "Yes?"

"Uh... I have..."

Pinkie kept nodding, smiling even brighter.

"I... I have two soulmates."

Pinkie's smile dropped, her jaw reaching the floor and her eyes even wider.

"WHAT?! How?!" She asked.

"Uh... After meeting my first soulmate, I felt that the current returned and was pulling me in another direction. So, I went to dad, and he said this has only happened to only one other Pie in history. I'm apparently destined to be in a polyamorous relationship, and that current led me to my second soulmate."

Pinkie gasped, holding the sides of her head. "What?! I didn't even think that was possible!"

Marble nodded. "Me, too. Dad said he forgot to mention it to us when he was telling us about the Choosing Stone."

Pinkie nodded. "Alright. That's really cool, though! You get to fall in love with two different ponies!"

Marble smiled. "Yes, I'll admit, I do like the idea. I really like my soulmates."

Pinkie bounced. "Well, then, don't keep me waiting! Who are they?!"

Marble blushed. "Well... one is a mare in Canterlot named Minue-"

"MINUETTE?! ONE OF YOUR SOULMATES IS MINUETTE?!" Pinkie yelled, getting in Marble's face, her smile almost breaking her face.

"Um... yes?" Marble replied. "Do you... know her?"

Pinkie wrapped a hoof around her sister's shoulder. "Know her?! She's one of my best friends!" Pinkie giggled. "She's a lot like me! Oh my gosh, you two will go so well together!"

Marble blushed. "Um... thanks-"

"What do you think of her?!"

Marble blushed even harder. "Well... ah... she's... really cute..." She finished in a whisper. Pinkie squealed.

"Aww! I can't wait for you two to get together!" She gasped. "Wait a second... when you two get married... I'll be related to Minuette!" She exclaimed, bouncing off the bed and pacing in excitement. "Can you believe it?! We're gonna be sisters!"

Marble raised a brow. "Pinkie, I don't think Equestria will allow me to be married to two different ponies if Minuette doesn't want to be married to my other soulmate."

Pinkie stopped bouncing and pacing. "Oh, right. Well, I hope they want to get together, then!" She said, getting in Marble's face again. "So... who's your other soulmate?"

Marble played with her hooves. "Uh... B-Big Mac."

Pinkie gasped again. "Big Mac?! Aww, you two will be cute together, too! Hopefully Mac and Minuette like each other!"

Marble nodded. "I hope so, too. I really like them both and want the three of us to be together in a happy relationship, but I can't force them to like each other."

Pinkie nodded. "That's true. But you can hope, right?"

Marble nodded. "Yes."

Pinkie smiled. "So... what did you want to talk about? Did you just want to tell me about your soulmates? If so, then congratulations! You'll go really well with them both!"

Marble blushed again. "Thanks. But, well... I was wondering how I should tell them they're my soulmates. I want to tell Mac first, but I don't know how."

Pinkie thought. "Hmm... well, I told Cheesy by throwing a You're-My-Soulmate-Party. I had a bunch of balloons and everything!"

Marble smiled. "Aww! That's cute! But... I don't want to bring that much attention to myself."

Pinkie nodded. "I understand. Well, I think what you're gonna have to do is just tell him. He knows what the Choosing Stone is... or at least I think. Applejack should have mentioned something to him at one point."

Marble nodded. "She did."

Pinkie smiled. "Then you should have no problem! You can maybe even get him flowers or something!"

"But... I don't know which ones are his favorite."

"Then ask Applejack, silly! I'm sure she knows!" Pinkie replied, suddenly hugging Marble. "I just... can't believe it! My baby sister has two amazing soulmates!" She said, tearing up. Marble hugged her back, smiling.

"I get what you mean. I can't believe you're getting married soon."

At this, Pinkie instantly drew apart, her eyes suddenly tearless. "Oh, speaking of! I cannot wait another day to get married, so we're gonna start preparing for my wedding tomorrow! That means Limestone, Maud, Mom and Dad have to come into Ponyville!"

Marble blinked. "Pinkie... tomorrow? That's too short notice."

Pinkie shrugged. "Oh well. It should be fine!"

Marble raised an eyebrow. "You should probably ask first."

Pinkie rolled her eyes, walking to her desk. "Okay, fine. I'll start writing right now."

Marble nodded, smiling. "That's a good idea. How will I know if it's on?"

Pinkie smiled. "I'll surprise you tomorrow if we're on!" She said. She suddenly gasped. "Wait..."

Marble tilted her head. "Huh?"

Pinkie started bouncing. "Well, since I'm super close friends with Minuette, she's totally gonna be at my wedding!" She said, giggling. Marble blushed.

"Uh... hehe..."

Pinkie smiled brighter. "Oh, this is so great! That's where you can meet her and talk to her!"

Marble blushed. "Uh..."

Pinkie giggled again. "Well, unless you do so before, of course. Then you two will be an adorable couple at the wedding! Ooh, maybe you will be the one to catch the bouquet!"

Marble blushed harder. "Eep!"

Pinkie snorted. "Aww, you're so cute in love! But, anyways, where have you been staying? I should have asked this earlier!"

"Well, I'm staying at Sweet Apple Acres."

Pinkie smiled. "Well, that's good! I need to write the letters to everyone right away, but you're welcome to stay here while I do!"

Marble smiled back. "Actually... that sounds nice. I haven't seen you in a little while, and would love to hang out."

Pinkie beamed. "Great! Here, after this, I can show you how to bake my favorite treat!"

Marble giggled. "Okay, then."
