Gonna be kind of awkward if they really do end up being Cousins.

They're not cousins in this fic and seeing as how Marble Pie had a crush on Big Mac in the show, I highly doubt they're actually related.

Somepony that can show me that there’s more to life than my parties, that sometimes…beauty is in the simple parts of life.

It's a beautiful sentiment. I just can't see it coming from Pinkie.

Really, that's my issue with the whole story. It feels like a thinly veiled defense of the pairing that still doesn't manage to convince me. You have some good points, especially the importance of family, but over all it feels like a combination of "pair the spares" and, to paraphrase Sherlock Holmes, "Once you have eliminated the undesirable, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the OTP." Granted, a thousand words doesn't exactly offer a lot of room for subtlety...

In any case, thank you for this and best of luck in the judging.

Surrounding the tables were orange and pink balloons everywhere Applejack looked.

Such an odd color pairing, although Pinkie ain’t exactly a normal earth pony.

hehe, but those are the ApplePie colors, how can they be an odd pairing?

Applejack glanced over at Rainbow Dash, who had her wing wrapped around Fluttershy, and expected that her new roommate was going to move out before long.

aww, time flies on so quickly! Twilight's height is always a great way to mark the time that has passed since her accession

As she walked over to the fold-in table closest to her, Applejack looked at the biggest cake that Pinkie had brought, a simple vanilla cream cake with vanilla frosting and a “2” and “5” candle together.

title drop!

“Well I did bring apple empanadas, apple fritters, caramel apples…”

i wonder how many of these are Apple family members!

“Wait a second…he ain’t going out of his way to make ya feel worthless, is he?” Applejack growled.

“No! Not at all!” Pinkie gasped. “But I don’t want to feel like I’m competing with my special somepony in the talent that I cherish most, you…saw what that did to me.”

aww, i would have Applejack's reaction too, so i'm glad it's not the case! especially since i can't imagine Cheese Sandwich being awful like that, that would be heartbreaking!

“She is really cute,” Pinkie agreed. “But she lives in Mount Aris. Plus, I’ve been thinking of somepony more…different than me.”

aww, i love how when Pinkie thinks of "more different", it's Applejack and not the hippogriff princess that she thinks of! i love ponies augh

“Family,” Pinkie nodded, staring deep into Applejack’s eyes as she clarified. “Family is very important to me too.”

aww so true! augh they have so many important things in common

“Waste away?” Applejack suggested, and noticed various strands of Pinkie’s mane straightening as she slowly nodded her head. The farm pony felt her head come up blank with what to do in this situation, and so she came closer and wrapped her foreleg around Pinkie. “It’s okay, Pinkie. Ah’m not quite sure how to help them without taking them away from the rock farm, but we can visit them and figure somethin’ out.”

oof, yeah, it didn't seem like there was much of a future for them given what we saw of their lives in "The Maud Couple". and it's extra sad to remember that Marble's heart being broken by Big Mac is 100% canon

Applejack couldn’t put her hoof on the exact kind of flavor until she had returned to the party, her and Pinkie walking with their pelts pressed against one another as their friends rejoiced over the two mares getting together. Applejack then tried the cake, and tasted the exact same taste.

Sweet and simple.

aww, Pinkie Pie tastes like vanilla cream cake, because of course she does!

this was a really cute bit of post-canon shipping, swatting away the competing ships until only the sweetest one remains. as sweet as a slice of vanilla cream cake. thank you so much for it!
